WAR CUM ME ASPECT Or RING GAME

fighter Who Stalls Should Low Decision, According to Government Boxing Code.

CLEVELAND. O, Juljr 10.—War has changed the pugilistic game comp3t tely.

Billy Rocap, Philadelphia scriba and light referee, begs leave to differ with fellow scribes who awarded the recent .(ark Britton-Benny .Leonard fight to Britton on points. v

Jinoap, who was in Cleveland for the patriotic fight of Saturday, picks i.eonunl as the winner,'and says he is Thereby following out the new boxlnft code put Into effect by the army.

This code emphasizes clean, clever and fast fighting. A premium is placed on the man who forces the ring battles, takes his chances and uses his best efforts to win and win decisively.

The ma.n who stalls, evades, clinches, or is on the defensive continually, sh onid lost when tinal judgment t# made, -koo.ip says Of h!s decision: "Referees and judges of boxing are asked by the war department's commission of training camp activities to lend their aid in encouraging aggressive boxing. The writer is with the tTnlted States government in his judgment of boxers and boxing contests.

Leonard did the greater part of the leading, landing the greater number of clean blows on leads, blocked when blocking counted, and was entitled to the derision. Britton fpught a defensive battle, being the aggressor only in streaks. He frequently played evasive nnd used the ring to keep himself out of harm's way. "These tactics were all right before the war, but not now. America is developing an army of fighters. Each man must learn to tear In and give his opponent no quarter. "All back-stepping, covering up and purely defensive work are discourtged under the army boxing rules, and each contestant is made subject to a penalty for such work. "An efficient lighting soldier must not only be trained in the technic of offense and defense, but must be vhnrged' Vltfc the froper fighting spirit. "It Is to be hoped that every critic, •very referee, and all men who judge boxing contests in America, will stand by the government in its effort to develop a fighting army and live up faithfully to the new code."

GARRY NOT ALARMED.

A.TLANTTC CITY, N. J„ Julv 10 Garry Hermann, of Cincinnati, who with President Tener, represents the National league on the National basehall commission, said today that he did not believe the controversy over the Perry case would cause the disruption of the relations between ths National and American leagues. Hermann said he had not heard of Tener's stand and declined to discuss It until after ha had heard about the circum stances.

Felsch May Rejoin Hose

19.—Oscar*

CHICAGO, Italy

("Happy")

Felsch may come back to the White Sox. It was learned today from Milwaukee that President Comiskey has had an emissary up north using his influence to induce the outfielder to rejoin the club. Whether Felsch will decide to corae back will be known some time today. If he does not make up his mind to rejoin the south side club he probably will go to the Steel leag-ue. It is understood that organization has an agent in Milwaukee trying to persuade Felsch to cast in his lot with other major league?# who are in the ranks.

Felsch did not quit the White Sox club to go to work for a gas company in Milwaukee, as was reported when he left the team. He has not worked since the day he deserted and has played two games with an independent team in his home town. The reason for leaving the White Sox club in the lurch is said to be inability to get along with another player on the club. They had several wrangles, it is said, and Happy became dissatisfied to such extent that he was unable to give the club the ball he played last year.

According to the source from which this information comes it was learned Felsch had no idea of getting out or major league baseball to join the Steel league and that he was willing to remain in the American league if President Comiskey would trade him. It is said he asked the owner of the south side club to trade him, but this Comiskey refused to do. When he refused, Felsch left the team, probably thinking if he did jump the Sox president would exchange him for another player. "I would be srlad to have Felsch back," said President Comiskey. "lie is a nice boy and has just made a mistake in leaving the club. I did not know that he was dissatisfied, although I did understand that he had a little fuss with one of the jilayers, but that should not be taken seriously. I would not trade him for all the other fifteen clubs in the major leagues, and he did not ask to be traded. I think he will be back ana would be glad to have him."

National League Leader's Statement Over Status of Perry May Mean War Between Circuits.

NEW YORK, July 10—The imbroglio between the American and National leagues regarding the status of Player Scott Perry flamed afresh Tuesday when John K. Tener, president of the National leaptie, notified his club owners that he would have no future dealings with the national commission, of which he is a member.

This announcement verges dangerously upon a declaration of war between the major organizations, as the national commission rules distinctly state that the presidents of the two leagues shall be mepibers of the commission and the* National league constitution makes no provision for any Other representative.

President Tener's letter, addressed to all of the club presidents of the senior league, charges the American league with a violation of the national agreement and quotes the president of the latter organization as advising trie commission when the Perry verdict •was announced that "under no circumstances or conditions will Perry be turned over to the Boston National league club.

I'irmt to a CItII Court.

Tener further states that "the case above referred to is probably the first instance where a m%or league club has violated its agreement by appealing the decision of the commission to a civil court. "I beg leave, therefore," continues President Tener, "to advise you that hereafter-I will give no attention or e-onskieration to any cases submitted to which the American league is a party."

President Tener'^* letter to the National league club presidents read: "On the 12th of last month the national commission after careful consideration of all evidence, made decision in what is known as the Scott Perry case, and with which you are familiar, resulting in the awarding of that player to the Boston club of this league. "As soon as the president of ihe American league had knowledge of the finding he advised the commission as follows: 'Under no circumstances or conditions will Perry be turned over to the Boston club.' Shortly thereafter the Philadelphia club of the American league took the case to the courts of Cleveland and asked for and received an order restraining the commission from putting its decision into efftc-t and setting the date of July 20 f"r a final hearing of the case.

Muling Shenld Be Final* "Under the terms of the national agreement the ruling in any case brought before it in which It has Jurisdiction is final. "The ease above referred to is probably the tirst instance where :t major league baseball lpague lub has violated its agreement in baseball law by appealing the dt-cision of the commission to the civil courts. "In my opinion, the defiance of our laws by the Philadelphia club of tho American league onstitm.fa euch a branch of the agreement and gocl faith that this league can no lont-er, with honor, continue its represeniative on the national committee. I beg: leave therefore to advise you that hereafter will give no attention or consideration to any cases submitted to which the American league is a party. We can not continue to maintain our honor and self-respect by dealing with those who consider our agreements and baseball law ea mere 'scraps of paper.' "Baseball finds itself with regard to Its business, In an unfortunate position, due to war conditions nevertheless, it is most important to keep our house In order eo that when business is adjusted to normal conditions, it may be prepared for its share of prosperity, and that with honof.

JOHNSON NOT WORRIED.

Thinks Tener Will Resign 8hortly As National Chief. ^MiCAGO, July 10.—President Ban Johnson of the American league, replying to the statement of John K. Tener, president of the National leag~ue. that he would have no further dealings with the National baseball commission in any cases In which the American league is a party, said last night that he feared no break in the relations with the National league, as he understood President Tener would shortly re!*ign. "The contemplated resignation «f Governor Tener from the presidency of the National league, occasioned me no surprise," said President Johnson, "ifrom advices I have received from several sources, the course he' has taken is absolutely necessary for the welfare of baseball in view of the fact that he devoted so little attention to the affairs of the game. "Morally and technically. Manager Mack, of the. Philadelphia club, ran be justified In the position he has taken in tho Perry case. Governor Tener has on one or two occasions been a party to decisions of the commission that seemed unfair and absurd to me, but I never took that as a,n excuse for declining to serve as a member of that body. "I presume the parent body will find no difficulty in ably fitting the position Governor Tener has finally determined to vacate."

AFTER LOCAL CLTJB.

The Blanford, Ind., team wonld like to play the Twelve Points team. Sunday afternoon, at Terre Haute. If the game is accepted, the manager of the Twelve Points club is requested to answer through the Tribune, giving the location of tho club diamond.

WEST HAS ONLY ONE BET IN AMERICAN

Indians Alone Seem Capable of Fighting It Out With Eastern Trio for Rag.

BOSTON, July 10.—How times have changed since the eastern teams took their first trip east.

Then all four of the western teams were hailed as pennant possibilities with the Chicago White Sox as the big choice.

Now the Indians are on their second eastern division and they are hailed as the west'a one bis entry In the flay race.

The Browns are rated as the longest sort of a chance, while White Sox and Tigers, previously doped ahead of the Indians, are considered not at all as contenders. Dopesters are booking them both for second division finishes.

On the other hand, the east, which was originally figured as the weaker half of the American league circuit, now looms up with three decided contenders, the Red Sox, Yanks and Senators.

The Mackmen are today the only eastern team not figured in the fight for top honors and they're giving a lot of trouble to teams that are counted on to fight it out.

After piling up a six-run lead on the Giants, the Cubs became too chesty, and before they knew it the runner-up club had knotted the count. Then to make matters worse, the Giants copped in the tenth when Thorpe poled a homer into the stands. Vaughn was the fall guy, with Douglas getting bumped for the circuit count. Anderson and Causey were used on the slab by McGraw. The Pirates fell on Fillingim like a ton of bricks and hammered out a 7 to 2 success over the Braves. All told, the victors secured 11 bingles. In a contest in which both elubs registered an even dozen blows, the Cards defeated the Dodgers, 6 to 4. The losers hit for a total of 20 bases, but could not come through in the pinches.

The Indians lost another tough contest to the Red Sox, going down in defeat in the 12th, 1 to 0. Both »ush and Bagly pitched great ball, but a double, a forced out on which the batsman reached second on the play at third and a single terminated the duel in the third extra round. The Browns also copped by a one run margin, taking the Senators into camp, 7 to 6. Demltt's three-bagger, with two on, followed by a single by Sisler, netted the Browns three runs in the ninth, and victory. The Senators rallied in their half of the ninth, but fell down after securing two tallies. The White Sox and Yanks split a twin bill, as did the Tigers and Macks. The Yanks won the opener, 6 to 4, with the White Sox taking the second setto, 4 to 3, ten innings. The Macks annexed the first tilt with the Tigers, 3 to 1, but lost the second, 5 to 4.

55 per cent of the output of the seven big Maxwell plants is war world

Every one of those plants is doing Its patriotic duty—100 per cent.

We are frank to say we believe that to equally true of our competitors—we have yet to Iftgm of a single shirker in this industry.

If there is anything more Uncle Sam desires don«t we will tackle that to» •r~

Meantime, and for the very reasons set forth abort, we deplore the loose statements of patuc'preaching publicists throughout the country.

These would close down the third largest industry in America on the grounds that it is a "non esseotiaJ" industry*

No other industry is doing so much otitside ffs regular sphere—doing it so willingly, doing it so rapidly and doing it so honestly as is this very motor car industry*

For a ship builder to make a Tew more ships or for an ordnance plant to make more guns ia only to develop their normal business.

But for a motor car factory to make ships entire and in part—and guns—and shells—and fuses-** and caterpillar tractors—and mine anchors—and airplane motors, wings and other parts—that ia doing things.

This industry is doing all that and more.

Detroit, the very center of the motor car industry —an inland city and one where, in normal times, we had no war industry—now is doing more war work th&a any other city ia America.

And in our regular line we are also helping mora than any other class of business men to solve the transportation problems at home and abroad—for ve not only transport a very large percentage of our own raw material and finished product on its own wheels, but every truck—yes, and every passenger car too—helps by thousanda of tons per year in carrying, formerly done by tltte railroads*

Loose talk is harmful at anv time serious just now.

Meantime your own transportation problem, ar» centuated as it is by the war activities and the war prosperity of the country, can best be solved by an efficient^ economical, reliable Maxwell Motor Truck.
