KKW TORK, Per. 1- Even some of
the powfn In Organised Base Ball think
favorably of the plan of Frexy Oilmore
of the Fedi relative to th pimlnhmmt
of players for Infraction of pi ay In toIm.
"fcuspeTidlng a player Isn't punishment,"
says Gllmore. "That merely Riven the
player a vacation. The way to preserve
discipline la by a system, of fines and
then to see to It thAt the player, not tha
club, paya those fines."
Oilmore new la working on a scale of
flnea that are to cover practically every
cffense that a ban player can commit on
tha diamond. The alia of the fine will be
fixed by tha degree of the offeree.
If a player merely sasses an umpire It
may coat him $5. If he tinea abusive and
vile language tha fine may be S10 or 820.
Spitting upon an umpire, clubbing him
with a bat, Mapping him on the beesar
with a glove or a flat, or gouging out his
eyoa, of course, will coat more.
Players who fight among themselves on
the field will be fined heavily.
"A aarlea of heavy flnea will do more
to wipe out rowdy! m than any other sys
tem," declarM Oilmore. "Ever alnce
base ball became an Institution the sys
tem of suspending' a player haa been in
force. It haa accomplished but little, to
ward eliminating- squabbles between
Players and umpires. The reason la that
It hasn't hit the offenders In their weak
est spot. When you hit a ball player In
his pocketbook, and ho reaUsea that you
are going to continue to hit him there
until h reforms, I believe he'll suddenly
turn oner a new leaf.
Wsmlal Ifot 8 as pea 4 Players.
T don't be 11 ere in the practice of sus
pending players. That takes them out of
tha game, wrecks the regular lineups,
and puts tha entire team Into a bad hole
simply because of tha aotlon of one or
two men. Suppose that vers, Maranvllle
and Schmidt had been suspended for five
days or a week because of that affair In
Chicago recently. It would have wrecked
the Braves' Infield, and before the regu
lars could get back Into the game again
the Braves, playing with a patched-up In
field, might have skidded too far to get
heck Into tha fight for the flag.
"One thing I shall insist upon In this
fining system and that la that the players
must pay the fines. I don't permit the
club owners to pay those fines. If they
did. the fining rule wouldn't be worth a
nap of tha finger. I Intend by tha new
yule to hit tha player; I mean to make
him pay for his rowdyism, and T believe
tha the strict enforcement of this rule
will go far toward making base ball
clean throughout"
John K. Tener, president of the National
league, seems to hava beliefs along the
tarns Haas as Oilmore. Ills action In fin
ing tha three Boston players and Helnte
Zimmerman, of tha Cubs, for sngaglng In
tha fist fight In Chicago cams as a big
surprise. Tha greatest majority of fans
figured Tener, following tha old custom,
wvuld suspend the playsra. But he didn't
and his action has been
rlad Tener exercised his power and or
dered this quartet out of the game for a
week it would have crippled both the Cubs
and the Braves. It probably would have
allied Boston's chances, and deadened the
Interest In the National league race,
laellaed to Fining Systeaa.
It has been noticed that Tener has been
more Inclined toward the fining system
than have any of his predecessors. This
shows that he Is keen base ball leader.
Me realliea that the player, not tha fan.
and his teammatea should be punished for
rowdyism. If a star player la chased from
me game It weakens his team and ,
duces the chances of his team winning a
sn position in the race, as well as
lessening the fans' Interest In tha team.
Another reform that ought to be brouriit
about is that which would bar club own
ers from remitting the fines assessed by
the manager for Infraction of the club
rules. Aa Illustration of the demoralising
remittance system shows In
ths case of "Slim- Caldwell, the wander

NEW TORK. fUpt. 1 A voracious ap
petite has coat Jolinny nundee an em-
broyo furtune and the attendant glorifies
tlon tit tlng a world's ring champion.
We've often heard of someone NIik able
to "eat you out of your houxe and home,"
hut here we hnve an tnetance of a sup
posedly Intelligent boxer eating himself
out of at least flOO.000 and a life of ease.
Ever since Ivndee boxed Featherweight
Champion Johnny Kllbane a twenty-
round draw, the pseudo-Scotchman has
been looked upon as associate holder of
the title, although he did not gain the
monetary benefits that Kllbane enjoyed.
Neverthelees Hundre was considered at
least the equal of Champion Kllbane and
experts generally declared that If the pair
ever clashed again Dundee would be re
turned an easy wlnnnr.
After slxleen months of bickering a re
turn match was finally arranged: aft
signs pointed to a Dundee victory. This
Is a year of upsets, and the worst year
ever experienced by ring championships.
The outcome of this bout was to be an.
other upheaval of the well-known "dope"
ano Kiinana was to be dethroned. Even
the stars said bo. according to a noted
astrologer.
Tom McCarey had completed all details
for the championship match, and the
rombatants were already In training.
The date set was next Tuesday. The
boxers were going through their final
stages of preliminary training a few
days ago, when McCarey decided to call
on the men and ascertain their c ondition
All went well In the Kllbane camp. The
champion was havlnT a hard time com
Ing down to the stipulated weight of in
pounds ringside, the featherweight limit
but ho was gradually reaching the notch
and lie said he would feel strong at the
poundage,
McCarey Vlaita Dundee.
McCarey then visited Dundee at his
quarters. Ho Indulgently watched Dun
dee go through h.s motions and then
ashed him to step on the scales. The
Montelth bsttlrr nimbly tripped to the
weighing machine and the weights were
adjusted.
Horrors! McCarey was taken back, for
Dundee moved the beat at just 133 pounds,
eleven pounds more than what he was to
weigh at ringside for Kllbane less than
two weeks hence. McCarey pondered a
few tense moments and then Informed
Dundee and his manager that the match
was off.
Cnder ordinary circumstances McCarey
might have granted Dundee a few day'
respite before cancelling the match. But
the promoter realised that Dundee had
own at work for over two week, fca
not been able to reduce even a few scant
pound Dundee was "hard" at 133 pounds
and it was obvious that he could not
make 122 pounds la such, a short time and
do himself Justice against the champion.
Dundee's manager nleadaii with m
Carey and Jimmy Dunn. Kllbane's man-
tor, nut to no avail. Montelth was prs
Pared to post a forfeit that hla man
would make 122 pounds at noon on the
day or the fight, but Dunn would hear
nothing of It. for he said he wanted it to
be an untainted championship fight for
the featherweight title at the feather
weight limit, namely, 122 pounds at tha
ringside.
Thus did the match for the world's
championship slip through Dundee's fin
gers and thua did a ravenous yearning to
sat, eat, coat Johnny Dundee a tidy for
tune and the Idolatry of ring followers.
It might be argued that Dundee'a grad
uation from the featherweight claaa Into
the lightweight ranks puts him in a
position to battls for the U3-pound cham
pionship. Quite true, but It must be sd
mltted that Dundee would have lees
chance against the premier lightweight
than he would against the leading feath
erweight for the simple reaaon that hla
extra poundage would retard him in his
boxing.
Dundee Is essentially 'a boxer, with a
penchant to hop, skip and lump before an
Disponent. The extra ten pounds assuredly
would not maka his feet feel lighter and
he would have to discard his nimble
tactics In order to contend with the flat
footed, harder hitting lightweight.
That the latter theory is correct waa
proven In Dundee'a flifit against Freddie
Welsh, before the latter became light
weight champion. Dundee attempted to
outbox Welsh, but after a few rounds
found -that he could not keep up the pace,
and waa easily outpointed by the Briton.
In the later rounds Dundee could hardly
lift hie hands and his knees were In
clined to come together to support their
owner. Dundee was leg weary after six
rounds and was an easy victim for
Welsh's Jabs In the last few sessions.

NEW TORK. Sept. l.-lf Mike Olb-
bons desires to make a bid for the middle
weight championship he will be given the
opportunity thla fall. Jimmy Ctabby la
due to arrive In California from Australia
this month and the promoters on the far
coast are now sounding Qibbona relative
to a twenty-round match, Gibbons seems
anxious to do a little real flghtlug over
the championship route. He recently ac
cepted terms to tackle George Chip at
Ban Franclaco after much argument, only
to find that Chip refused the match.
This should effectually eliminate Chip
from the championship atakea. As a mat
ter of fact Chip appears outclassed by
both Clabbv and Qibbona. The same can
be aald of practically all the numerous
claimants for leading honors.
On form Clabby and Gibbons should be
rated at even money In the betting If they
are matched. Either would be a favorite
over any other contender with theex.
ceptlon of Eddla McOoorty. who holds a
popular decision over Gibbons. However.
Clabby eliminated McOoorty w,hen he out
olassed the man from Oar.koth In their
recent bout in Australia. And there Is
good reaaon to think that Othbona would
beat McOoorty it they met again. In
that bout at tha Garden the Ft. Paul
phantom lost his nerve and did not show
anything like his real form until the
last minute ef the last round. la the
period Gibbons stood his ground and shot
over a right hook that shook McGoorty
to his toes. It was the only serious at
tempt Gibbons made during the entire
ten rounds, but it Indicated that he could
have won easily had be been willing to
take a. chance earlier In ths bout
NEW TORK. Bept. l.-"W11lle" Hopps,,
who seems unable to outgrow his dimin
utive cognomen, In spite of ths fact that
he la the American champion at billiards
o all styles, has been practicing six
hours or mors dally for two months per
fecting himself In the English game, at
which he Is to meet Melbourne Inman,
the English champion, In a contest at
the Hotel Astor, beginning September 28.
Mr. Hoppe thinks he haa mastered the
technique of the game so well that after
his games with Inman in their combina
tion contest he will be able to perfect
himself In Its Intricacies so that he will
be able to successfully challenge the
holder for the championship of the world.
In speaking of the English game, Mr.
Hoppe aald: "I find the game full of at
tractive featurea and Interesting . plays,
which make It particularly Interesting to
a spectator. It la really a splendid gome
after one baa mastered Its peculiarities,
and gives opportunity for all the skill
sn expert player at the French game re
quires, end some added curves that ho
doea not get a chance at even In pocket
Killllards. It requires steadiness, surety of
stroke, finesse, and tha eye of an eagle.
There are some features that I think have
not been fully developed by the English
champions, and I think I may get tbem
so that they may prove useful to me In
my ambition to become the world's cham
pion at this game. 1 surely would like
to get that title and so. In a measure,
at least, compensate America for the toes
of ths polo cup. the Davis tennis cup
and the lightweight boxing championship.
Ilea Krta Ckssee.
"While I may not yet be able to defeat
Mr. Inman at his own game, I think I
have an even chance to do so. At all
events, if I am beaten. It will bs because
I am not bo clever at It as he la, for I
shall try hard, and have a lot of confi
dence In myself, so that. I shall not go
to the table a beaten man before I begin
tha game. It Is a whole lot to hare de
veloped that far at least. I appreciate
thoroughly that I am up agalnat a strong
player, the best In' the world by the
records, but that was sn experience I
had when 1 began playing for the cham
pionships at the American and ' French
games, so that It is no novel experience.
If I am beaten It will not Be because I
have not worked hard, simply that I have
not become a master of the game, as I
sxpect to be In the end." '
