SOLONS CHANGE
FIGHT VERDICT
TODUNDEE
BY DAVID J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Eddie
Babe" Risko, the young man who
knocked fungoes with Middle.
weight Champion Yarosz'S coun.
tenance less than a month ago, un-
derwent a New York unveiling
with. Vince Dundee at Madison
Square Garden last night and a
very fetching time, indeed, was
had by all.
Risko was first announced as the
winner, then, 10 minutes later, as
the loser.
Frankly, the fight was finally
won by the New York State
apologetic commission and, be-
cause Of this, a third decision Is
almost inevitable at the regular
weekly meeting on Friday.
If that sounds a trifle garbled,
drop in on the commission some
time and have your garbling done
by mathematicianS.
The fight went 10 rounds and
was very bad. The first decision
favoring Risko, I thought was
little worse, especially since
Referee Jed Gahan, in casting
the deciding vote gave it to Risko
on "aggressiveneSs," of all things.
If the Babe was aggressive, so was
the late William Penn.
However, the boys weren't
through yet. They were back
again in the midst Of the semi
final to announce that an over
sight had occurred.
Jack Britton, the old welter.
weight champion, had voted for
Dundee. Judge Sidney Sharlin,
although his round,score favored
Dundee to 4 with one even,
decided to give 1t to Risco on
harder punching. This, the COM
mission said, sharlin was not
permitted to do, although only re-
Gently they enacted legislation
which said he could. In other
words, Commissioners Phelan and
Brown overruled their own rule,
meaning that a third decision is
indicated any time these gentle
men recover their compoSure.
Even If they never do, I fear me
1t will not disturb the peace and
quiet Of our national life.
Wind.Up Puncher
This Risko may have clipped
the champion for six knockdowns
and a knockout, as of New Years
day, but last night he was one of
those wind-up punchers who
throws them all the way in from
the left field bleachers. He's
mostly a right-hand puncher, but
he's good with both hands when
he grabs. Besides, he leads with
his left foot.
Risko did nail Dundee a couple
Of times after the third round and,
in the eighth, he landed hard with
right and left, followed by a
right cross. Still, he was always
more impressive with the punches
he missed. Anyhow, it was one Of
those things known as a struggle
and these can always be called
any way you like, prerogative
you can't say the boys ignored.

Agrarian went on to prove he
was a firstrate three-year-old by
finishing third to Cavalcade and

The first winner of the Hialeah
Stakes was Sidney Grant in 1881

q screaming drive over the
fence. It looked fair. but Kelly
called it foul. There was a ter.
rifle hullaballoo, with oaths and
threats as thick as bathers on
an August day in Coney Island.
Kelly fined Charley Comiskey,
captain of the Browns, a hun
drd dollars. and that brought
Won Der Abe charging to the
plate.
"You'.l fine my Gapten

Kelly Sticks By Guns
Chris was the most powerful
figure in the league. He could
have an umpire's scalp any time
he wanted it. Kelly know that,
but he was stubborn chap
himself.
Listen to me, you crazy
Dutch sO-and-sO," he said. "The
fine stands. and Pm leaving.
You can't run me the way you
do your ball club"
= In those days there was only
one umpire assigned to a game,
so that contest broke up then
. and there, and Won Der Abe had
q terrible time getting Charley
Daniels over from Louisville to
work the next afternoon.
" On another occasion Ted Sui
nvan was signed to manage the
Browns. Chris gave him a beau
tiful gold watch as an advance
peace offering because he in
tended telling Sullivan exactly
how to handle the team.

1t was, too. Their payroll
showed a scale that ran from
$50 to $125 a month. Needless
to say, Ewing never signed with
st. Louis.
Fire Razed Park
The owner of the Browns
was as crazy over fires as Rube
Waddeu in his hey-day. He
drove a gray horse hitched to
a light buggy, and whenever
an alarm sounded he and his
gray headed for the nearest
engine house. It was fire, in.
cidentally, that marked the be.
ginning Of the end for this
tragicomic clown of baseball.
His park burned down. When
the fire was at its heighth.
Chris remembered that his dog.
Fly, a beautiful greyhound, was
locked in the clubhouse. The
building was burning briSkly,
but the old fellow rushed in.
He loved the dog so much that
he would have risked his own
life for it. Poor Chris found
Fly dead on the floor, and,
overcome by smoke and emo.
tion, fell beside the animal.
The firemen broke through the
flames and dragged him, a
pretty badly scorched autocrat,
into the open air.
There has been, as you may
have noted in the papers, con-
siderable to.do about the posi-.
bility of whippet racing, with
attendant betting, at Braves
Field. In the hey-day of Won
Der Abe there was no such
fuss about gambling.
Chris built a race track in
the limited enclosure Of his
ball park. It was a Joke track,
but it attracted those who like
to bet on horses. and events
were held on summer nights
and winter days. Won Der
Abe furnished the funds for
half a dozen of the bookieS.
A smart race track man would
have grown rich under those
conditions. Chris lost money.
Cheated by Clerks
Finally one Of his friends
pointed out the reason. There
were several stiff bets on the
winning horse at the bottom
Of every sheet.
"Your booking clerks are
rObbil4e you," the wise guy
pointed out. "They wait till
the race is over, and then
write down some nice bets on
the winner themselves"
Won Der Abe was all for
rushing over and having the
blood Of the thieves, but was
persuaded to wait until the
days racing was over. Then
having regained his calmness,
he called the clerks in.
"POyS," he said, ''I see where
you hAf been pudding down
some nize bets for yourself on
der potion Of der sheets. VOtS
done iss done, vots bet iss bet,

Chris Won Der Abe for comic
relief right now.
