Jack Britton of New Tors; at the end of their twenty round flgrht Monday and with the decision went the claim to the welterweight championship of the world for which the men were fighting. Britton's wonderful left hand jabbing and superior ring generalship stood him in good etead In the first half of the fight when honors wer fairly even. He eemed to tire, however after the twelfth round and Lewis piled up points. Britton gave a wonderful exhibition of. blocking. side-stepping, ducking, and leading, but seemed to lack a punch heavy enough to hurt his stunly rival. Lewis had the punch and landed it often enough to gain the margin over

his more experienced opponent in seven of the rounds. Britlon had a wide margin in the tenth round. In the firrt round, before the fight had hardly started. Lewis landed on Britton's Jaw. making him step backward. Jack recovered quickly, however, and held his own until the latter part of the fight. Britton forced the fight all the way until the twelfth, when Lewis became the aggressor. In the nineteenth Lewis rocked Britton with a swing to the Jaw. which sent him half way across the ring. Jack came back strong in the final round ana opened the round by sending Lewis to his knee. Lewis Jumped up quickly and. by rushing Britton, evened matters, and when the gong sounded the referee raised his hand as a sign of victory.

G BOTTOM FIST

By a. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) ICEW YORK, June 27. Within a very short time minor leagues of a class below A probably will be extremely scarce. Following the lead of A. R. Tearney, president of the Three-I league, many presidents of small circuits are expected to agree to a plan which will stop all baseball in these leagues, hold all players for a year, and one again when conditions become better. Concerted action, c.t course, would be necessary to protect the magnates. The larger minor leagues the International, Pacific Coast and the Ameri. can association, and the Southern and Western leagues probably will continue. They are stronger, have greater population from which to draw their patronage and are on firmer foundations. The Western prabably Is In a more hsaky condition than any of the others named, but Thomas J. Hickey; president of the American association, is the only executive who has suggested closing in the big minors. The plan to form a third major league of four cities in the American associa

tion and four in the International league probably would gain a great deal of impetus if the smaller organizations were forced to retire for a time. When the time came for making over there probably would be sincere Agitation for the step. The Western league, shaky as It is, needs help. The addition of some American association cities to its circuit would help. The International could contribute very easily to other circuits, lending them strength without seriously impairing the class of baseball now being played in those cities. Minor leagues have had very hard sledding since the Federal league started its war. Falling oft in interest started the trouble when the Feds began to take minors as well as major leaguers in their search for players. Then came bad weather, which has been consistently bad every spring since, save in one or two of the small organizations. A year with closed gates undoubtedly would be a good thing for the minors. It would save them money and would whet the appetites of fans for baseball when the reopening came.

NEW YORK. June 27. Perhaps tha greatest secret of the baseball success of Fielder Jones in the management of major league clubs lies in the psychic effect of certain things he mixes in with

the regular run of tha game.

Jones more than any man in the game, knows and appreciates the fact that baseball players are just a wee bit more prcne to view the suspicious side

of a four leaf clover or a rabbit's foot more than the average human. He Is well aware that Eddie Collins does funny little things with the button on top of hi:3 cap when he reaches the twostrike stage of a time at bat. Also he knows that a baseball player who pretends to any temperament at all beats It for the water bucket alter a strikeout. And whether he needs it or not this baseball player always takes a drink. Jones knows those things and he knows the moral effect of other things. When the White Sox visited St. Louis this spring they made the trip with advance notices pointing them out as the logical successors to the Red Sox for the American league championship. They had a great baseball club and were given plenty of newspaper space. Jones' most predominant doing after the Sox had departed was to state publicly that he believed the White Sox lacked th proper kind of nerve to win a major league pennant. He advanced the theory that the Browns could and would outgame the White Sox every time they met. Jones went further In his statements. He pointed out that RIsberg, a youngster, was not playing the best game In

the world, and declared this would unbalance and otherwise finely constructed team. He said that with Risberg continuing in his errorful way the Sox would not only lose confidence In him, but in themselves and then the crack would come. As a matter of fact, there hasn't been

a better appearing shortstop sent as at big league visitor for many a day. Rls- j

berg merely got away to a bad start. But Jones' statement had its effect. Just as he thought It would. It got the Sox to wondering if he was right and the first thing they knew the worries were hurting them. They are Just beginning to recover their equilibrium.
