POLICE TO CLEAN UP BOXG BECK HERE AT STATE MEET TOORRO
Tender Plays Harrisburg For
Sucker; Mayor Keister
States He Will Bar Barrett

A callow, sinister duffer from the
slums Of Philadelphia. in which
bush-league village they have made
him a hero, came to Harrisburg on
Saturday night and threw a monkey
wrench into the placid machinery
of the boxing sport which may stop
it for all time. This is an out-and-
out crime. Just when Uncle Sam
has introduced boxing to three mill
lion husky soldiers; just when boxing
has been put upon substantial basis
at all the big colleges; just when the
public is beginning to take an in
terest in clean sport, even if rough,
our city is cursed with a shifty stunt
on the part of shiftier creatures who
use us for an easy mark. If Harris
burg does not give the Police De-
partment to handle boxing, and it
may be noted Mayor Keister with
other members of the Council saw
this sucker stunt, or If the State
does not come across Immediately
with its boxing bill appointing cap
able commission, the sport is dead
here.
Tender had the brazen nerve to
appear at the ring, after being ad-
vertised for weeks as the star of the
entertainment, hooked up with AL
lentown Dundee, who is handled by
Charley Ettinger of Allentown. He
was accompanied by his manager,
Glassman, a stringy. stigtossled ham,
bearing all marks of a lounge lizard
suffering with fiat wheeled spine.
The two of them tried to explain to
500 infuriated fans that Tender had
broken his hand, but when "Phila-
delphia's grandest fighter" forgot
himself he was using his bandaged
nit same as ever. He then screamed
wildly that it was "a cut on his head"
that prevented him from making
good before an arena, many of whom
had given UP two bucks to ogle the
uncommon opportunity. Down South
he might have been lynched, so in
digant were the boxing patrons. For
one second, Tender glinted about
with determination to escape, but
the eagle eye of Jim Morrisy, special
cop at the P. r. r. station. who was
time-keeper for evening, made him
change his mind.
Tender and Glassman put one
over on old Joe Barrett, which the
veteran should have spotted coming.
Joe was the happiest boxing pro-
moter on earth when he got Tender
signed up for half the sum he claims
to be his regular price for one night,
his slogan being: II won't get in
spangles under $1,000 Barrett in
turn made bad mistake when, hav-
ing heard that Tender might have
snow on his feet, he failed to notify
the public. He could have done this
Saturday morning. What happened
was, simply, that Tender and Glass
man squinted over the house and
saw that the percentage over the
cash would not be up to snuff, and
so he introduced a substitute. young
Tiplitz, whom Sammy Schiff out
pointed some time ago. Joe Tiplitz,
brought along to complete the suck
er treatment, and so far as he went
he made good; some declaring he
gave a better show than Tender
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-05-19

| himself. The latter waits for the
other fellow to bring the fight to
him: so does Dundee, and a match
of this kind is generally no thriller.
The little Tiplitz turned Bolsheviki.
which seems to come natural to him,
and with fifteen pounds under Dun
dee's weight he deserves the decision
in the ten fast rounds.
But poor old Joe Barrett: it GER
tainly was tough. He offered to pay
back entrance fees, and only one
patron sailed to the platform where
Joe was so flustered, he handed him
$50. When the recipient got to the
door, he proved himself an honest
man and jammed his way back
through the irate mob to, give back
the is Simoleons. This \proved a
break in the tense mob and helped
smooth things over. Meanwhile. the
two principles, Tender and Glass
man, whose costumes were the latest
model of their Sth Ward clothes shop
sparkled with real ice" kidded each
other, and chuckled at the sucker"
town of Harrisburg.
The referee was Billy Hinton, of
York, and he messed up his par of
the evening by permitting Johnny
Herman, in the semi-wind up to foul
Eddie Loechner, of Lancaster, five
times before Loechner sank in his
corner in the fourth round. Manager
Riker. a rich brewer of Lancaster,
who hangs to boxing like a moth to
a wig, much like Doc. Roller to
wrestling "for the love of the sport"
cast out n bathroom sponge, and
Hinton gave no decision, leaving it
to the newspapers. He should have
warned Herman once, and at second
offense given Loechner the decision.
Two SiN-round bouts were sched-
uled, but only one was presented
and Joung Mahoney, the popular
Baltimore fighter. added another
scalp to his belt when he knocked
out Young O'Leary, who substituted
for Billy Cannon, of Philadelphia.
Cannon was Tendlerized also, for it
was reported that his hand was
broken. O'Leary was introduced as
the champion of the navy, but the
navy was not specified. 1t was sug-
gested that probably it was the
Swiss. In the first round O'Leary
went to the floor for a count of nine
and in the second round, shortly
after it opened, the navy was sunk
before the count, and Mahoney shot
a few more blows to the face and
head. Then O'Leary reposed on the
ropes and his seconds called off the
fight.
This fiasco is a hard and unjusti-
fed wallop for Joe Barrett, who has
done his best to bring here the best
talent. He has proved his intention
by staging such men as Herman Mil
Ter and Joe Borrell, and his boxing
matches have been very entertain
ing; the experiment has been costly
to him, and it is certain that his
many friends will stand by him in
his request to the Police Department
for supervision such as prevails in
Toledo, where no smooth guy who
puts over one. is allowed to box
again within the city precincts.

class at Tech High school, will
wrestle a fifteen-minute preliminary.
Bsumsnn strikes a popular note when
he brings these lads into the ring.
They are popular fair mat artists. and
will encourage interest in wrestling
among the sport fans of the local
scholastic world.
In a letter received by Baumann
from DR.. Roller, the physician ath-
lete lepudiates the rumors to the
effect that he has sidestepped Draak
since they grappied to two-hour
draw in the 1916 New York state
tournament. Roller asserts that he
has never sidestepped Draak nor any
other wrestler and that he is anxious
to meet Tommy" and settle old
scores. He writes that he was never
in finer condition and that, though
his years will be against him, he feels
his experience and cleverness will
carry him through the match a win
ner.
Interest is at high tide over the
affair tomorrow night. 1t means an
evening of good. clean sport, as the
fans who have witnessed the several
other shows will testify. Draak is Il
new man here. and will no doubt be
very well liked. Roller is immensely
popular in these parts and should
make q fine drawing card.
Seats for the show are on sale at
Shenk and Titles sporting goods
store and Harry's cigar store. The
attraction will start tomorrow night
promptly at $3.50 o'clock.

Flight Feasible, Is Report

st. Johns. n. F., May 10. The
United States cruiser Chicago sailed
for New York at daylight yesterday
morning, thus having the whole day
with tleer weather to avoid icebeI gs
while navigating the coast.
1t is understood that Admiral v oo1
and the aviation experts on board
the cruiser. as we'll as the crew which
brought the lost dirigible CO from
Montauk Point to St Johns, are
unanimous in agreeing that the re-
suits of the experiment show that
a flight direct from Long Island to

for a dirigible of the design os the

Recommendation to this effect is
said to have been forwarded to
Washington from Admiral Wood.

Dempsey Will Win
Says Herman Miller
Who Boxed With Him

At the ring-side Saturday night
was Herman Miller, of York,
southern middleweight champion,
who has been training with Demp-
sey, but gave it up for the time
because its a rough life" He
says Dempsey handles a sparring
partner just like he will Willard
and he uses them up pretty rap
idly. He will beat willard, sure
as shooting" declares Miller.
This fellow is the huskiest man
l ever boxed with; he can stand
anything. and he'll keep drilling
into Willard with both hands un-
til he has his middle part caved
in. He can hit like a trip-ham
mer in six inches. He loves fight
ing; knows and cares for moth
ing else"
From Toledo to-day comes the
word that accompanied by Jack
kearns, his manager, and two or
three friends, who were in an
automobile. Dempsey covered ten
miles in the direction of the bat
tleground site in the Bayview
Park district. The object of the
jaunt was to keep the challenger
from growing stale through in
activity until he can locate
place for his training camp.
After breakfast. Dempsey and
Kearns, with Ad Q. Thatcher.
matchmaker for the Toledo
Athletic Club. inspected a half
dozen prospective sites for a
training camp. Dempsey plans
to establish quarters Mondoy Sn
the shores of Maumee bay, about
three miles from the site of the
arena.
He will do his boxing and GYM
nasium work out of doors, mas
much as the championship battle
is to be fought in the open. The
public will be charged for the
privilege of watching him go
through is training PAGES.
