ECHOES OF A LATE MEETING JII1I Xnnnhton Tell Why Kllbmte Was fioi BntMlril to Better Thnn m Draw from Dundee at Vernon. Harvard Has Strong Crew in Varsity Shell nr TV. W. NAUGIITOI. SAN FRANCISCO. May l?.-After a series of exceedingly spirited skirmishes between the "antU" and the "proB," culminating In iv pitched battlo that waa notable for stubbornness, the men behind the boxing game triumphed at Sacra mento. . One measure, fathered by a man named. Hrown, waa defeated In the assembly and mother fathered by another Brown waa knocked out In the senate. So for two years more at least the swat of the glove will rewound In the western land. And this Is exactly aa It should be. EoxInK In California ) conducted on a high plane at present, and n person ob jecting to It Rimt feel the same way to ward any other patlme that 1 possessed Df a thrill. The sport la handled In auch a way that a auaplclon of crookedness rarely attaches to It It affords enter tainment to thousands and thousands; It only needs a glance at a local fight gath ering to make plain that tho glove game appeals to "our beat people."- Different Type of noser. Moreover, the breed of boxers has Im proved. The Friday night shows form the cheapest phase of entertainment and offer the smallest remuneration to tho four-round specialists who tngage In them- Tet a glimpse of the procession of challengers which posses across the fighting platform Just before the partlc ipanu In a "main event" answer the bell la Interesting. With their unity clothes and fine appearance generally, they look like a bunch of college youths rather than dealers In uppercuts and wallops, and for somo reason not thoroughly ex plained, cauliflower ears bare become as scarce as radium. Incidentally, the fotr-round bout Is the popular thing in boxing In this neok of the woods at present A championship go will always attract the banner crowd of course, but championship attractions aro exceedingly rare and a promoter of twenty-round events who has to rely upon long distance men of average, cali ber has a hard time making ends meet The Friday night matchmakers In variably play to capacity. This because' a program of eight or ten bouts carries the guarantee that If one or two of the bouts are tame the others will bo excit ing, enough to keep the spectators bounc ing from their seats. ICIIbnne-Dundea Decision. The writer has received three or four letters from the east asking him to ex press his personal opinion In regard to the decision rendered by Referee Eyton In the jaibne-Dundee bout First of all, I have to admit that I was surprised in reading eastern ring side reports from Los Angeles, which made it appear that Eyton's ruling gave dissatisfaction and that tho lnjustloe done Kllbane waa so palpable that there was considerable hooting and hissing. I heard neither hoot nor hiss, nor did 1 see anything which could bo construed Into even a slight demonstration against the referee's verdict Balancing Kllbane'a rapid scoring against Dundee's more solid punching In the majority ot the rounds, I consider the draw decision fitted the clroum stances perfectly. I have no doubt that some referees would have ruled In favor ot Kllbane. They would have taken Into consideration that ho scored tho greater number of punches and would have named him on the plea that he wu the holder of the championship and was en titled to continue aa such until actually bested. This, I guess, Is on tho principle that "splits go" to the dealer" and Is only ono way of looking at the matter. I am In clined to agree with an 'old time English authority who held that wheh champion entered tho ring he relinquished his champlonshlp-that the belt-lf there was one, was hung on a ring post and be came the principal trophy of the fight St this line of reasoning holds good It seems to me that a challenger who does every bit as well as the champion In a fight Is entitled to shofo the honors ot a draw, and I certainly believe that Dundee held his own that day at Vernon. Kllbane Suffered from To lit In. It is quite possible that the mnjorlty ot the Vernon spectators, after thinking things over made up their minds that It would have been no miscarriage ot Jus tice If Kllbano had been returned win ner. But there was nothing at the ring side to Indicate sentiment ot that kind and It may be It would be easy enough io-flnd the reason. you have often heard of a show being billed. Well. Kllbane'a end of the Ver non show was overkilled. In the day preceding the match the CUvelandcr's show was boosted to the skies. The other boy was not conceded a chance. It was merely & question of how long It would take Kllbane to secure & knock out, and there was speculation as to Khom he would meet when he threw In his lot with the lightweights. The Judgment and the expectations of Kllbane'a backers were reflected In the betting. It was as bad as 10 to S against Dundee at one stage with very little "tljree" This naturally led the non betting element to look for an over whelming victory for Kllbane and when round after round went on and be failed ;o encompass a knockout or even estab lish a lead, disappointment prevailed and may be the work that Dundee was loins was overestimated. This may have accounted for the apa thetic condition ot tho crowd at the finish. The opinion Is given for what it is worth, but the writer vtlll holds to tits view that Dundee was entitled to share the honors of the award. KEEPING BASE BALL HONEST Johnson and Lynch Maintain Stand ard at High Pitch. INTEGRITY OF GAME SOUND Supeelon of Stovall nnd Dismissal of Owens Pro-res Temper of the Moirnntea as llesrords tho Sport. Br W. J. M'llBTII. NEW YORK, May 17.-Organlred base ball may be beyond the reproach of a congressional probe, but the powera are taking no chonces with the truatlng pub lie Thla position waa most emphatically demonstrated quite recently by the heads of the two major leagues. Ban Johnson dethroned and suspended George Stovall, apparently the most masterful commander the St Louis Browns have known In many years, because hu defiled the dig nity of his station. Tom Lynch dismissed Umpire "Brick" Owens, ono of his very belt officials, because he was found pat ronising a gambling house. Undoubtedly the stands of these worthy executives were well taken. But In both cases It required plenty of nerve to do the proper line ot disciplining. Because of his exceptionally brilliant work In recon structing an habitual tall end team, Bto- vn.ll had become the popular Idol ot St Louis. Ills loss to the team thus early In the pennant fight proves a severe hardship to the players, public and owner of tit. Louts. No Other Coarse Open. Tet nothing but the most drastic courso Was open to Ban Johnson. Stovall so tarjtorgot himself In the presumed out rage against his rights as a player as to forget his duty as manager. Objecting to a called strike he pulled the cap tho offi cial uniform by the way from the head 1 that local base ball absorbed a certain quantity of tho race track element when the sport of kings went to tho bad. But it was the higher type of those Interested In elevation of the breed of tho horse. The bookmaker was left outsldo with the tout and tho "tin horn." The race track people, you see, have not had suf ficient opportunity to study up the game as a gambling proposition. In this way they aro a generation behind the lnhabl tans of Cincinnati. Pittsburgh and Chi cago, who know tho shado of percentage on almost any of the gamo's myriad possibilities. Carpentier-Wells Match Attracting Lots of Interest PAWS, May 17,-Interest In boxing cir cles Is pretty well centered on the Carpentier-Wells match, to toko place at Ghent on May 25. Those who claim to be "In tho know" are putting up a bunch of loose change on the Jaunty Frenchman, as they bellovo his sclenca will overcome the smiling . Bombardier. When M. Decamp, Carpontlers manager, is spoken to about the difference In weight and height of the contestants he only replies, with o shrug of his shoul ders, "That Is nothing. CarDentlr weight Is exactly the same as tho weight ' oo fiiMimmons fought at and the height makes no difference." M. Theodore Vlenne has made arrange ments for the comfort of his guests and has secured a special train to carry the sportsmen to the scone of the fray. Two big steamers have been put Into commis sion to transport the English contingent ftoin London to Brussels, so tho orga nisers expect to have fully Sf.OOO persons at the ringside on the eventful night According to a British authority, Eng land r1nM nr.t tni..U.. .t.1. . .... coat.

The leaeue SDries will be ftinilitd Junn and the winning team will be given the ! the open hand booking at these places. of unusual gravity, The dismissal ot Owens by Lynch was a most striking Illustration ot the Integ rity of the organization. Goodness knows there are now few enough competent um pires In the big leagues. B it Owens of fended along a line that Is most delicate; ho allowed his name to become associated with gambling, the one great haunting foe ot trat "most audacious trust" Lynch felt duty bound because of tho moral stake at Issue to dismiss one of his most competent men. It was Indeed fortunate for the National league that the passing ot Owens marked the re-entry ot Hank O'Day.' Conditions of Presidents. Ban Johnson may always be counted upon to run his league as he thinks 'best to all interests. Ho is more free than Tom Lynch. The head ot the National league Is bound down by restrictions and petty precedents. In the matter of his umpires, however, Lynch Is abso lutely supreme, and he has shown In tho Owens case that It his hands were not tied by the red tape of the National league he Would undoubtedly be an fear less os he Is honest In the discharge ot all those duties which naturally devolve upon the executive, but which tor some reason are attended to by magnates at large in the old major league. Fnbllp Confidence the nasi. Organised base ball has nothing to fear so long as public confidence In Its hon esty maintains. For which reason the powera that control the national pastlmo have every right and reason to guard every avenue against suspicion. It Is their duty to see that no shadow of dis honesty is thrown on the great institu tion. The publlo surely could not .have confidence In an umpire who was known to be betting on the games In which he worked. And. by inference, there would be little confidence in an arbiter who bet at all. Doubtless Owens fs as honest and square as any man In the sport; but he did a very foolish thing when he left a loophole ot attack. Aa .Lynch says, there Is a moral dignity to the position of his umpires, which invokes his pro tection; .this protection Qwens forfeited when he so tar forgot himself, his - sta tion, his league and his protector.
