FREEDMAN
GETS SHADE
On DONLEY

Sailor freedman. the Chicago light
weight, last Saturday was s-ole to win a
slight shade over Mickey Donley Of
New York in the East Chicago arena
chiefly because Of his willingness TO
lead the lighting The two appeared
about evenly matched but Donley re-
fused throughout TO take the lead. pre-
ferring to take his chances on inhghung
and clinching.
Ollie O.Neh Of South Chicago was
credited with a knockout in the fifth
round OF the other bout when the bout
was stopped by the referee after Jack
Kennedy Of Cary had gone down twice
for the count Of nine The other bout
which was scheduled between Bud Chris
Lla-no and Sud Perriu was called off be-
cause Jerrtll failed to make the speci-
fed weight and Christiano refused to
fight. No substitute for Christiano could
be found and it, was necessary 10 make
the show two bout card.
The Freedman Donley bout was full
of action in spite OF the fact that Don
ley persisted IN holding back. Freed
man continued during the entire ten

succeed in doing much damage to his
opponent In the open lighting Freed.
man always got the better Of the argu-
rnent while in the clInches which Donley
forced most OF the punishment Went to
the Chicago boy.
The first four rounds were about even.
Freedman succeeded In getting a few
good blows. but most OF the time the
two were in cltnches IN which Freed
man had hard time hitting Donley
Mickey would get into a cHnch and
would then open up with a series Of
blows to the stomach and body These
bothered Freedman and he attempted to
get in an uppercut, not caring what
means he took TO get his punches across.
Time ard again the referee cautioned
him against shady tactics. Donley also
deviated somewhat from the rules but
was not warned as often as Freedman.
In tho NTH round Donley decided to
try open fighting and as a result the
round proved TO be all for Freedman. In
this round he managed to get across
some left jabs TO Donleys jaw which
shook him up considerably and il look
cd for tine as though the easterner
might be put away. He came back in
the next round however. and kept things
about even again until the tenth round.
In this round Freedman started with
a rush and managed to start Donley's
nose bleeding by a butt Of his head. He
followed with some good lefts and easily
won the last round.
Young Kennedy Of Gary started his
hattie in good fashion and was abl, Ia
get a little advantage in the first round.
He lacked steam, however. and after
O'Nen had handed him q couple stim
ones on the nose and had the blood
flowing freely he seemed to lose his pep.
He stood UP to a lot of punishment until
the fifth round and after going down for
the count Of nine twice was willing TO
so back for more when the referee stop
ped the bout.
The crowd which turned out for the
scrap was very small and less than had
been expected by the mana cement \
small crowd was TO be expected how
ever. and the management is looking
forward to next Saturday when the
bantam weight champ Pete Herman. will
buck UP against Jack Sharkey. Sharkey
is the boy who took Jimmy Wilde across
and he thinks that he is now in posi-
ton to cop the title for himself Her

The score was tied. and Il was the
last Of the eighth inning when Iytrich

safe on very close play the Chemical
team all ran up and tried 10 make the
umpire change his decision This
game was for the championship Of the
Industrial League IN which the two
teams were qualified TO play the tie

when they scored their only run on

Nothing said about this play. See

and they thought that it was very poor
craftsmanship on the part Of Mt. Lartz
the manager for telling his players to
quit playing unless the umpire chang
ed his decision. According to the
1920 Spaulding Major League rules
when the umpire makes his decision
the game IS forfeited to the team who
he gives his decision to. 1t was
corking game with Lynch and Ulrich
opposing each other both pitched a
good game, and only allowed q few
scattered hits. Lynch was the better
man with men on bases. three times he
had two men on and then struck out
the next two batters. The Chemical
team beat the Betz nine a week ago
Saturday. on sand lot ground which
they have near their plant. and
thought they could repeat the same
stunt, they were surprised when they
could not score any runs so this made
them kind OF peeved The Betz team
never argued during the whale season,
only on decisions which they thought
was right, and never was known to
quit. and walk off the field. as the
Chemical fellows did If Mr. Lartz

Robbery of Montclair Concerns
Office Is Cleared Up by the
MeKest Accident

Two Montclair policemen, riding leis-
urely in an automobile. were passing
Osborne's woods on Stone bridge Road,
near Montclair. Yesterday morning,
when they detected sounds of industry
1T sounds like someone is using
hammer" said one Of the policeman.
With drawn revolvers the officers
crept into the woods and surprised four
men. who were gathered around small
steel safe, still unopened.
The policemen covered their men
with revolvers and the four held up
Sheir hands promptly. While one Off
GER held them the other called the re-
serves, and shortly after prisoners and
safe were carted to the Montclair sta
tion house. A collection of steel
chisels. nitroglycerin, gloves. hammers
and small tools were gathered in the
raid
The safe was identified as the prop
erty Of the National Beef Company. Of
1874 Park Street. East Orange. The
prisoners described themselves as Fred
c. Michaels, of 361 Walnut Street;
Frank Fleming. of Sidney Place. and
John Fitzpatrick, of 27 Plane Street.

Lack of Funds May Leave
Convicted Men i'm Tombs
Knott Says He Must Have More
Money for Car Fare for His
Deputies and Prisoners

The refusal of the Board Of Esti-
mate and Apportionment TO add $1,000
to the $4,000 transportation fund of
Sheriff David II. Knots Office led
that official to remark yesterday that
he might have to leave prisoners SEN
fenced to Sing Sing languishing in
the Tombs unless he could manage to
wheedle carfare out of his board
"Unless the Board of Estimate
changes its pennywise policy, he
said. "it may become impossible to
transport to states prison men con-
victed in New York County. My of
flee must have the money to provide
the railroad fares for prisoners and
deputies"
An increase in the carfare allowed
to his deputies made the original
transportation allowance of Sheriff
Knots Office Inadequate and he has
made up the deficit, to the amount Of
several hundred dollars, out of his own
pocket, confident that the city would
reimburse him. Comptroller Craig
and President La Guardia of the
Board of Aldermen united in quashing
his suggestion, however,
