HAMBoNE SCORES KAYo.

Hambone Murphy. dusky light
weight, got a big surprise Monday
night. He met Kid Jackson, a tough
customer, in bout that was sched-
uled for eight rounds, and in the
first round and half Jackson gave
Hambone a trimming. But just as
the last 30 seconds of the second
round were ticking off. Hambone let
loose a wild swing with his right
that caught Jackson upon his jaw.
Jackson fell backward upon his
launches and then sank gracefully
upon the canvas, where he was
counted out.
Jackson arose, but was still grog-
gy and it was several minutes be-
fore he recovered sufficiently to
walk out of the ring.
Two local novices opened the show
with a grudge battle. At the end
of four rounds both were all in and
Referee Hack called the bout a
draw. E.'''.-'.-.
The house was packed, and the big
outpouring of fans was rewarded
with a card jamful of action from
the first bout to the last.

Baseball Traitors May
Receive Worlds Series Kale
Judge Lands Must Decide
Whether Or Not CiCotte and
Gang Will Be Given Share
in 1920 Spells.

CHICAGO. Nov. 23.-Records or
the old national baseball commits
sion have been transferred from Gin
cinnati to Chicago in preparation for
the opening of offices here for Judge
Lands as ruler of the major leagues.
BY a visit to Cincinnati last week
Judge Lands familiarized himselt
with the working Of the old national
commission and soon is to begin
consideration of baseball problems.
One of the first important deci-
siOns expected, according to reports,
is the division of about $4,000 among
members of the White SoX team
which earned second place money in
the 1920 race. Strong opposition
has arisen in some quarters to the
proposal to exclude from shares the
seven former White Sox players un-
der indictment for participation IN
Throwing" the 1919 world series.
They played with the 1920 White
Sox until the confessions of Eddie
Cicotte and Joe Jackson. which led
to their definite suspension just be-
fore the closing series of the season.
Charges were made openly by sew
eral of their team mates that the
s,seven were involved in attempts to
throw games during the 1920 season
but the grand jury indictments took
no cognizance of these charges.
$4,000 Remains.
Meanwhile, the SIS, 900 due the Sec
ond place team as it's share of the
1920 world series receipts remains in
the hands Of the old national com
mission, Presidents Heydler and
johnson of the National and Ameri-
can leagues.
The remaining members of the
1920 Sox team have voted to split
the sum into 16a shares, making
about 5000 apiece and excluding the
seven suspended players. This set
tlement has been opposed on the
ground that while indicted, the seven
Sox have not been convicted and
some of them deny the charges OF
crookedness. Arguments before
Judge Lands as the supreme arbiter
are expected to decide the settlement
soon.

BURGESS A WILDCAT.

Battling, Burgess, the Arkansas
Wildcat. proved a veritable wildcat
in his battle with Larry Gilbert. Gill
bert entered the ring a 6-to-5 choice
over Burgess, but as soon as the
bout started it was apparent that
Burgess intended making the back
ers of Gilbert sorry. He tore into
Gilbert from the opening bell. and
literally slaughtered him. Gilbert
took many hard wallops on the jaw,
but Burgess found it impossible, to
knock him out. Although he had
Gilbert unsteady several times, Bur-
CESS was unable to get over the
finishing punch.
Burgess showed considerable
improvement in his Monday
night battle over previous ex-
hibitions. He punched with both
hands, carefully measuring
every punch, and landing times
without number on Gilbert's jaw
and body. Both boys bled pro-
fusely throughout the fight and
were covered with gore at the
end of the mill.
