Champion Drops Allentown
Middleweight -Four
Times in First Round;
To1Uel Ends Massacre
ONE SIDED CONTEST
BY LOUIS ii. JAFFE

MO. ARMETHIA, it was not boxing
~ match, or anything like one; it
gave all appearances Of one sided
Mexican feud while it lasted-exactly
four minutes and eight seconds of ac-
tual fightipg-mostly by Mike O'Dowd,
before the flag of truce came into evi-
dence from out Of the hands Of one OF
Jack McCarron's handlers All of which
gave the middleweight champion a
technical two round knockout in the
star scrap at the Olympia last night.
From the moment McCarron staggered
the champion with right chop to the
jaw in the first round, Jack was
doomed. He didn't have n chance.
Mique socked Jacque for half a dozen
goals, cut him up. knocked him down
and did everything but play the part
of nurse. However, that WASH neces-
sary. McCarron was outclassed, and it
was fortunate that he had at least one
man in his corner sufficiently level
headed to know when to stop the slaugh-
ter.
Dropped Four Times
All told. McCarron had been on the
mat for something like twenty four sec
onds as a result Of knockdown punches
in the first round. A right 10 the jaw
dropped Jack for six, an uppercut to
the chin put him down for the same
count, another right cross was good for
four seconds. and series OF wallops
TO the head and body put the upstater
under for eight when the tingle Of the
gong finished the massacre.
O'Dowd answered the bell In the first
round in his well known crouch. He
tore in with punches to the body. but
h,rarrnn tiaI him 1hpn lark
brought the crowd to its feet by shaking
IN the title holder with an over hand
right to the jaw. For u second Mike
dropped his arms at his sides full
length as if waiting for the floor to
come up to meet him.
But il was only a second or so be

mistake. lie might just ~ well have
dropped into a pit with gang of hun
gry wolves Mike tore after Jack, and

l0NCE in while it becomes pleasing
~ occupation to take running jump
into the middle of that well worn slogan,
Youth will be served" '.''.
This ancient phrase, or sentence, may
nredominate on certain set occasions,
but not quite so often as many camp fol-
lowers believe.
For example. we take up the case OF
ten leading pitchers of the National
League, as expounded in the complete
and official records
This includes the pitchers as they are
ranked with their years Of servitude in
the big league attached:
First. Alexapder--ten years.
Second. vaughn-eleven years.
Third. Ruether-three years.
Fourth. Toney--nine years.
Fifth, Adams-eleven years.
Sixth. Douglas--eight years.
Seventh. Sallee-twelve years.
Eighth. Rudolph--eight years.
Ninth. Fisher-eleven years.
Tenth. Smith-six years.
Out of the first ten, no less than eight
pitchers have toiled eight years or lopger
under the main tent. Five OF them
served ten years or longer.
There is only one youngster In the lot
who has worked less than FIVE years.
Serving youth Is no dizzy occupation
in the National League.
In The American
TUsT to prove the National League is
y not alone In pilferins the olive from
the clammy brow OF youth, American
League statistics follow the same trend.
The two leaders last season were wal
ter Johnson and Eddie Cicotte:
The former had served twelve years
and the latter fourteen.
Where do they nick this youth
stuff, anyway?
Won and Lost Records
I'VE HOPE the American League this
w season will abandon its stupid sys'
tenn of omitting the number OF games
won and lost by its pitchers.
This detail is every whit as important
as the number Of earned runs allowed,
which is officially carried.
Take the case Of Mathewson or Minor
Brown. When they had ball game
sewed up by such margins as to or Z
to 1 they were quite content to ease up
and allow the other club tally or so.
There Is no particular use in pitcher
tossing his arm off when his mates are
n dozen kilometers out In front.
The average bug who yearns for the
succulent statistic wants to know how
many games a pitcher has'won and lost
above all other details connected with
the athletes right or left arm.
