HulvfV nn.l Aennw night caused a startling upset by knocking out Joe Dundee of Balti more, tho world's welterweight champion, in the second round of their scheduled ten round battle In the White Sox park. Thomp son is tho welterweight tltleholder in fact if not officially only be cause of a weight technicality. The only reason Thompson Is not proclaimed champion today was because Dundee forced him to weight 118 pounds, one pound over the welterweight, limit. Thointpson, in conquering1 the welterweight king, made a tre mendous impression. He seems to have inherited the grqat skill of his famous fellow man, Gans. He possesses a sterling combination of a perfect boxer and a terrific two handed puncher. His style is strikingly like tho old lightweight master. clnnatl Iteds from the heights they held earlier in the year in the Na tional Icskuo dnteH to a series they played against the last place Phil lies. The Reds lost four straight at that time and their play for weeks afterwards was below form. Yesterday the Philadelphia Ath letics and the New York Ynnkees, fighting a two-club battle for the American league pennant, were cut down by foes they should defeat with little trouble, tho Yanks bow ing to the Washington Senators and the A's to . the last place Boston Red Sox. These reverses left the A's two and a half games back of the defending champions. "Sad Sam" Jones, who once did his pitching chores for Miller Hug-i gins, was the immediate cause of j the Yankees' defeat at Washing-: ton.

The score, tied at four-all when Sac ramento came to bat, the Senators filled the bnses, only to have triple play spoil their hopes. Each team got one run In the 11th and Sacramento got the final count in tho U'th to win, 6 to 5. Tho Angels took an early lead with three runs In the first, but that was cut down and the remainder was a pitching battle. Batteries: Keating and Sovereid, Koehlcr; Cunningham and Hannah. A ninth inning rally, climaxed bv Earl Avcrill's homer, brought victory for San Francisco over Oakland, f! to 5. The Acorns had a two-run lead when tho Seals came to bat, but a walk, double and the homer was too many for them. Cooper and- Mit chell, both southpaws, battled throughout for supremacy. Bat teries: Mitchell, May and Sprinz; Cooper .and Lombard!. The Bells tookt Seattle into camp 14 to 1, with 24 hits to their credit for tho nine-Inning fracas. "Wilson and Jimmy Middlcton, who followed him, were unable to the famous lightweight king of two decades ago. He revealed . these sterling qualities when he knocked Dundee down twice in the second round and stood there waiting to deliver the finishing punch when Heferee Eddie Purdy mercifully stepped between them and stopped tho uneven battle. Purdy'a action gave Thompson a technical knock out victory, but actually Dundee was out on his feet when Purdy carried him to his corner. Young Jack, boxing cautiously and deliberately, used up the first round in feeling out the champion. There were several exchanges of blows with honors about even. In the second, Thompson swarmed all over -the tltleholder. A right hand' shot to Dundee's chin sent him reeling across the ring. Thorn p soon, cool as an iceberg, followed hiH advantage with a relentless two fisted attack. Another terrific right cross knocked Dundee sprawl ing across the ring and stretciied ltlm flat on his face. The champion ot up at nine, ' hut he was a helpless, sorry look ing fighter. Thompson charged in again with both hands flashing to Dundee's chin. Dundee sought shelter from that rain of fists on the ropes, hut Thompson stepped hack, measured him. hanged over another fury of punches and Dun dee went down attain this time on l is back. He pullod himself to his feet at the county of nine, hut his arms hung limp, his eyes were glassy and his legs still as he stood there reeling and wait ing for the advance of his con- qureor. Ho was defenseless and not George Herman Ruth took ltKt()p thp aiission hats. Wilson got Into his head to hit his 47th homer of the year In the seventh inning. Relief pitchers, In the end. de cided the Issue at Philadelphia, where the A's were forced to ac cept a a to 2 reverse by tho Red Sox.

Bell's double with tho bases full in the sixth Inning being the decisive blow of the game. During the day, Judge Emll Fuchs, president of the Braves, an nounced that Rogers Hornshy had signed a contract to manage Bos ton for the next six years.

The hend usher consequent ly determined to tako prompt ac tion and informed tho women that they could not be allowed the council room. The women protested vehement ly and as they possessed the nec essary guest cards, which inci dentally had been given them by an important delegation, were fin ally admitted, creating somewhat of a sensation in the council room where the delegates were discuss ing means fur the suppression of opium.
