CHICAGO, January 1.—Gate receipts mean

a baseball war, said Ban B. Johnson, president
of the American league, while discussing today
tbe possibility of the Kede«i league attacking

of antitrust laws, if any move Is made by the
older leagues to enjoin pijjert from jumping

"Contracts sent to American League playera
by the Federal League contain practically tbe

any court actions open to the Federal League
are equally available to ail leagues. However,
real victories and defeats are decided by the

GUNBOAT SMITH WON FIGHT
Arthur Pel key Knocked Out in 15th Round at
San Francisco.
{Associated. Press Report.)
SAN FRANCISCO. January 1.—"Gunboat"
Smith, the California heavyweight, scored a
decisive victory today when he knocked out Ar-
thur Pelkey, the much-heralded fighter, iu the
fifteenth round of their "white hope" champion-
ship battle. The sailor was a strong favorite
in the betting at 7 to 30.
Smith's aggressiveness culminated in a clean
cut right to the chin and his superior all around
work in all but two or three rounds did much
to pave the way to victory. Pelkey proved a
keen disappointment.
The fight opened with the Gunner forcing
matters with snappy lefts to the lace, but
Pelkey. making his best showing, drove iu se\-
eral hard rights to the body and face that stag-
fered Smith and sent him to his corner bleed-
□g from the mouth. The crowd cheered the
Canadian and bets were made at even money
that he would win.
Iu the second round Smith scored heavily to
the jaw. and in the third Pelkey clouted his
man viciously over the kidneys. In the sixth
Smith fought the Canadian to a standstill with
left upper« uts. sending him to his corner dazed.
After 30 seconds' fighting in the fifteenru
round. Smith feinted with his left, then swun^
his right, landing on Pelkey's jaw. Pelkey
dropped. Mechanically h" struggled to his feet
at the count of nine and unsteadily assumed
Ills fighting pose. A left and right applied
similarly toppled him on his back and he was
out wlieu Keferee Griffin awarded the fight to
Smith.

DEVLIN WAS CHAMPION
Boston Braves Had Elimination Bouts All of
Last Season.
According to some of the Boston Braves,
strong and truthful young men who would not
tell a lie. the Braves of 1913 deprived the
world of an immense amount of pleasure. They
should have been booked by the nig light pro-
moters and kept steadily employed. They did
infintely more scrapping than the white* hopes;
their battles were far more exciting, and they
kept at it till they developed a real cham-
pion among their number. As the ehan.pion
h«s been relegated to the minors, however. H'1*
office is now open. and. no doubt, will bo
gallantly fought lor during the season '»C 3014.
Said champion is Arthur Devlin, who was
also champion of the Giants in previous sea-
sons—and it's rather hard for a mun to win
the championships of iwo big league fe.ims.
onlv to be demoted to the bush in all his glory?
The elimination bouts which the Braves
fought to decide the heavyweight championship
were peaches, end began early in the summer,
when the large and playful H. Perdue of
Tennessee began to poke fun at Bill lan»e^.
the Seattle Moose. Mr. Perdue reiVivd lo
Mr. Jarnes ns being an odd and amusing crea-
ture. somewhat handicapped as »o sense i»nd
wisdom, but being almost human in nianv ways.
Mr. James, though slow to anger, resented these
remarks, and finally grew quite peeved. On<i
word brought on another: they adj»>urned to
the clubhouse, and Mr. .lames, ducking a right
swing, handed over a straight eross that stood
Mr. I'erdue upon what he calls a head.. This
did not satisfy Mr. Penlue: he begged for
another chance, aud Mr. .Tames, who had not
yet resumed his coat, obligingly stopped him
in two rounds. Just ns james was goin^' out,
Perdue revived, and again insisted on oaitle.
- \
Perdue Hard to Satisfy.
•'See here." objeeted Mr. James, "I'm hungry
and I gotta be on my way."
"Aw, be a geutleman. Mistuh James.*' im-
plored Perdue, "and give a man the satisfae-
tion he desires!" And this time. Mr. Perdue
found the floor in half a round. Once more
James was going forth, when the voic of Mr.
Perdue again fell upon his ears. ' Just, en-e
molie." pleaded the Southerner. "Let's fight
a little uiohe. Mistuh Jemes."
"Now. see here." bellowed Mr. James, "1
gotta date. Do you think 1 got nutliin' to do
but stay here and lick you all afternoon?"
But. being the kindliest of men, Mr. .James
again sailed in. and when Mr. Perdue came
to, the clubhouse was dark and Mr. Jame^
had long since departed.
For some little time Mr. James wore tne
crown, but. becoming chesty, his honors were
severally challenged. Hap Myers, the first chal-
lenger. f»'ll in three rounds. biH there are many
who state that, inasmuch as Mr. James and
Mr. Myers came from the same league and are
!>;• Is. this fight was a stall, just to jnable
Mr. James to avoid real trouble.
James Met Real Trouble.
Si ill. the victorious Mr. James soon collided
with Arthur Devlin, although fairly warned
that the long and saturnine Mr. «Devlin was
a demon dire. Regarding Devlin as a has-was,
Mr. James assailed him. and soon found that
the round-arm swing avafleth not against the
straight left and the upper cut. Mr. James
fell in four rounds, and Mr. Devlin, the new
ehamp. wore the crown until the October fin-
ish.
While Mr. Devlin thus paraded. Rabbit Ma-
I ranville. being sore at the world In general,
defied him to battle. When told to go soak
his bean, as he was too small to be even
looked at. the fiery Mr. Maranville replied
that "the bigger they are the harder they fall."
Mr. Devlin thereupon, seizing Mr. Maranville
by the slack of the pantellas. waved him in
midair and ordered him to go get a .*eput;ition.
Deeply stung, the small bill waspish Mr. Ma-
ranville then rushed forth and smote Joe Tinker.
After that fight whs over Maranville returned,
again challenged the champion and tot the ri-
bald hoot. Devlin told him that Tinker was
a middleweight and that the fight, having been
stopped by rlie authorities, didn't count at all
in the records.
Further bouts were stopped by George Stall-
in cs. himself, who came to the dressing room
and threatened to lick the whole gang. But.
as far ns they went, the elimination "contests
. of the Braves were a great success aim would
' have been a huge hit at any boxing club.
EIGHT RACE PROGRAM
Motorcycle Attractions at Motordrome Were
Run Off in Good Time.
World's Wonder Kidney Medicine Is sold and
guaranteed by Wilbush Drug Co.—Advertisement.
By far tbe best crowd that has yet attended
tbe races at the Stadium Motordrome was on
hand yesterday for the eight-race pro yam of
New Year's Day. Over 2000 spectators crowded
around the brink of the bowl or thronged the
wires guarding the ground reservations.
It was the first clear day which the riders
had encountered in. Houston. The weather was
mild and the track was fast for the first time,
not hampered by wet ooardiug. Under the best
possible conditions the eigiit races were resit d
off in good time. Again, the official handling
the program lan the schedule off in a business
like fashion—a decided improvement over the
opening day.
Tbe fast track did not result, in tbe smash-
ing of the track record spt on the opening
day. Indeed, the time was comparatively slow,
though the machines were driven at a »ace
quite fast enough to appall the average man
witnessing them. The best speed made during
the afternoon was in the third race, the third
heat of the Motordrome purse, when Fred Im-
ther of Fort Worth made two miles in I iniu-
ut" 22 seconds, averaging 87.80 miles an hour.
Fllekenstine. the Chicago marvel whose bursts
of speed have made him the sensation of the
first two meets, failed to show much ve*ter-
day, only qualifying once and dropping out iu
the final then before the finish. His own
machine had been damaged Saturday and he
was riding the repaired Excelsior of Hay Crcve-
eon, the Indiana boy who was hurt on the
Christmas Day racing. Flickenstine was not
accustomed to the machine and only in the sev-
enth race proved able to accomplish anything.
The final for the Motordrome purse was won
by Tex* Richards of Waco, who also won his
heat. Harry Swarts of Denver who captured
the five-mile Bice Hotel Sweepstakes, also won
his heat in that race. Swart z had been a
heat winner In the Motordrome purse event.
The Motordrome Purse.
First Heat—The three riders got off to a good
start, almost as if they had been toeing a line.
After the first lap Swartz of Deuver led, fol-
lowed in order by George Renal of Paris,
France, and Bert Bergerman of Chicago. The
order was never changed, Swartz winning in 1
minute 25.4 seconds.
Second Heat—The start of this heat found
I.ockner of New York at a disadvantage. After
the first lap, Richards of Waco led, followed
by Morton Graves of I>os Augeles. with Lock-
ner third. On the second lap Graves displaced
Richards while for the next four they raced at
x dead heat. Graves led on the seventh Jap.
but on the eighth Richards forged to the front,
winning in 1 minute, 35 seconds.
Third Heat—This boat was Fred Luther's all
the way. The Fort Worth got away, leadiug
Lewis, also of Fort Worth, and Flickeusiine
of Chicago, and never lost his position. This
was the fastest heat, 1 minute 22 second*, uv-
aaing 87.f)0 miles an hour.
Final-—Qualifications were the winners of each
eraj
heat with the second men in the two fastest
heats. Swartz, Renal, Richards. Luther, and
Lewis qualified. At the close, however, both
Swartz and Lewis had dropped out.
For the first three laps. Swartz, Renel md
Luther raced in order. On the fourth, Richards
displaced Luther. Through the tenth lap there
was no further change, then Richards parsed
Renel. He was fast overtaking Swartz and
on the twelfth lap Swartz dropped out, and
Richards took the lead, with Renel second and
Luther third. On the fourteenth lap. Rr»nel
went ahead and on the fifteenth. Luther took
the front with Renel second, but Richards was
not beaten and speeded up, passing the others
before the finish with Luther second and Renel
third. The time was 2 minutes 00 seconds.
The three preliminaries had been two-mile neats,
the final four.

contests of the afternoon. For the first nine
laps. Richards, Renel and Flickenstine v-«*re

changing in position. On the tenth lap Renel
led with Flickenstine second and Richard tnird.
Richards passed Renel on the eleventh lap, and

THE RING CAREER
OF GEORGE CHIP
Lithuanian Did Not Begin Fighting
Until Past 20 Years
of Age.
Chip's right name is George Chipulonis, and
he was born in Seranton, Pa., on August 12,
188S. of Lithuanian parentage. He beeaiue a
mine hand around his native town, and they
did not discover that he could box until he was
past 20 years of age. In 190y he had several
battles around the coal mining conters of Penn-
sylvania. luit it wsisn't until tlie following year
that lie began to yet on some pretentious scraps.
They thought so well of him that they began
to throw him at such men as Buck C rouse,
Billy Border, Tom McMahon ami men of that
type. Chip be;;an making good light away and
before long came to be known as one of the
toughest of the tough to be put down.
Only two defeats hnve been Chip's portion
during Ills career of nearly live years in the
ring. Jeff Smith and Jack Dillon getting de-
cisions over him in 15 rounds in Dayton. Ohio,
and the latter winning over him a decision in
15 rounds in Thornton, R. I. Chip never has
been put down for the ten count and seldom
during his whole fighting time has been tipped
off his feet.
Chip recently fought at Racine. Wis., and
Milwaukee and Chicago fans had an opportunity
to closely size him up. His opponent was a
rough fellow named Tim O'Neill, who was
little more than a i»unching bag. Chip did not
make much of an impression on the close stu-
dents of riii# form. He looked like a wide
open fighter who depended chiefly on his punch-
ing ability to win. A clever fellow like Dil-
lon, who has a stout wallop himself, ought to
beat a man of Chip's style every time they
start. Jimmy Clabby and Eddie McGoorty
would outbox Chip in 10 or I'O rounds and would
win without a doubt unless by some lucky chance
Chip could connect with one of his deadly
punches. In Chip's favor, however, it must
be said that he , is constantly improving, as
his ring record proves. The weak spot* in his
fighting style could be corrected and they un-
doubtedly will be with more experience. He is
a hopeful prospect because he possesses the
one essential requisite of a champion, and that
is a real punch.
