Dundee Kayoes Haukins Chicago, May 26. "Mike Dundee of Rock Island, knocked out Leo Haukins of Davenport in the third round of a scheduled ten-round box ing bout here tonight. The men fousht at 1Z4 found Luis Firpo Seen as Ring Foe for Deinpsey in Year Argentine Heavyweight Has Bright Future if Shrr wdly Handled for Next Few Month. New York, May 27. One of our mot t uprricnred boxing experts says that if i-uis Firpo, Argentine heavy weicht champion, is properly man aged and trained, he will fight hi way into a match for the world title with Jack Dcmpscy to he held proli ahty in Buenos Aires next year. Firpo, who stopped "Italian Jack" Herman, a game and willing slug ger, in the filth round at F.bhets field a couple of weeks sro. showed con siderable natural t'lRlitiug ability, hut was lacking in the science of the ring. with one of the quickest and hardest right-hand tipper cuts ever delivered by a big man. Firpo scored t terrific Lnnrlnnt. The blow lifted Herman off the canvas and toppled him over backward, his head striking the floor. For several minutes it looked as if Herman had been se riously injured, for when he tried to stand up he collapsed in a heap. How He Can Hit! Firpo is a wonderful hitter. With the exception of Dcmpsey, there is not a heavyweight pugilist m the ring today who can punch with greater power. But the South American has much to learn. 1 Likt Jess Willard in his prime. Firpo delivers most of his blows overhand for the top of the head or the back of the neck. He is tremendously strong and these awk ward lookinir punches are extremely annoying. But Firpo will get better results when he perfects a straight left-hand jab and learns how to drive home1 blows to the body. Would Drop Dempsey. Not even Dempsey would have been able to keep his feet under the force of the fearful upper cut that laid Herman low. ' It was the great est punch of its kind that has been delivered in a New York ring since the days of Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Jeffries and it served to boom Firpo's stock to such a degree that in future bouts he will prove a mag net. . P7r s man nf Vii weicht and inches. Firpo is fast. He moves around with remarkabte agility and' tan stand Tip under heavy punishment. He is crude in his style of milling, but he is game and pugnacious. In other words, the South American's future is, bright, providing he is wisely and shrewdly manipulated. . - Long Punishes Champ Britton Oklahoma City, Ok!., May 27.

Morvich, winner of the Kentucky Derby, is eligible for the three important handi caps for 3-year-olds and upward at Belmont Park, the Metropolitan, the Toboggan and the-Suburban, but he will not start. Like Man o' War, the wonderful son of Runnymed'e will be confined exclusively to his 3-year-old engagements this season and, then will be retired to the stud. , i Man o War, though beaten by Up set at Saratoga in 1918, as a result of poor; horsemanship on the part of Loftus, was the champion 2-year-old and in 1919 he was the complete mas ter of the 3-year-old division. In fact, he was believed to be the greatest American bred race horse ever seen in this country. But he was kept out of handicaps with older horses and early in. 1920 he was sent to Samuel Riddle's breeding farm. ' ' ( ' Morvich, winner of 11 races as a 2-year-old, started his 3-year-old ca reer , with the Kentucky Derby tri umph.

More Baseball Scandal Fodder FrlWh'a Suit Against Comii key Drags White Sox and . Detroit Players Into ,, Questionable Light By I. E. SANBORN, If folks had known all the condi tion exisliiie in nrofrional bate ball prior to 1919 they probably would not nave necn surprised as they were at the sale of the world's series by some of the White Sox to . C t n c i nnati. Al though pretty nearly everybody had the convic lion thrust upon them that ball players were out for all the dough they could get, few realized how . completely the dollar - dominated Connie Mack, the diamond un-r til the second edition of the 1919 scandal began to circulate. " Of course, the contention of Hap Felsch and others of the banished Sox that the American league pennant of 1917 was purchased does not ring true, because of its improbability in the face of the records of that season which do not show that Detroit lost any suspicious quantity of games to Chicago, cut the blacklisted players, had it in their power to make the claim that the flag, was bought, and such things are as hard to disprove, as it was to convict the guilty play- - ' ers of throwing the world's series, even after they had confessed. Admits Raising Pool It is admitted there was a pool raised among the White Sox and that Chic Gandil was the collector and distributor. ' Moreover, nobody seems to know for sure just what Chic did with the money. A.nd Gan dil belonged to the same clique as the discredited squad. Tfte good , Sox claim they contributed to rt-j ward the Detroit pitchers for extra . efforts against .the Boston team, -which was-, disputing the pennant with Chicago that fall. It may have been, they were- double-crossed . just as in 1919 and the money was n.'.ea in an attempt io nave games thrown to the White Sox. r: That money was used is not de ; nied and the only question seems tr be the degree .of the wrong com mitted. . s : -g- 4 The real meat of -the revived scan dal, however, was the nonchalant way in which present Sox players tried to dismiss , it as an above board transaction, "well known to organ ized baseball," and "quite the usual ' thing," as one of the players put it. - Not an Unusual Thing. ,, But if everybody interested irt or ganized baseball had known it was "quite the usual thing" for a pennant ,'' contending team to offer a reward to players on other teams to use extra endeavor to beat some other flag con...' tender the public's belief in the hon estyof base ball would have been shaken much longer ago than 1919i . Now that there promises to be a com- ' plete airing of the old scandal; it is going to require some more drastic action to Convince doubting fans that ' all the ills of the gamewere cured when Judge. Landis was made doctor -with authority to prescribe or operate ' as he saw fit. ' ;v; , Still, the great mass "of patrols have had to believe for years that the- average ball player considerM '-) baseball his game ad not the pup- v lie's and that he was in it for eveis . cent he could get out of it. Hun dreds of incidents occurred every year from the blue, sky holdout to. the striking bat boy. 11 Perhaps one of the smallest caliber collections ball players have tried to take up is at the expense of news paper photographers.' It wasn't so many years ago that a player con sidered himself lucky to get his phi1 in a paper at all, but times have changed. Too much publicity stuff converted some of the athletes into ' crabs. Although, so far as know, none of them ever has tried to col lect from a newspaper for the privil ege of printing a picture, some of them have tried to collect nionev from the innocent, hard working staff photog.
