LY ‘ » ~ KED SELF OUT OF DECISION, “Dld;Tim Boxér Who in Explaining HoW He Licked Opponent—Loses De man can talk himself out of most invRhing, but did you ever hear of a fighter who talked himself out of s decision Well, here's a case. It actually hap- give you the fac Away back in the “good about the fall of 1899, y, lowa, was a good sport- Ing town and they had boxing and other interesting sports going in full swing. Billy Murphy, former feather- weight champion of the world, was living there at the time and was @ great personal as well as an athletic favorite of the sportively inclined townsp2ople. Thus it came about that a match was arranged between him and Sig ifart, of Chicago. the men to go fifteen rounds and the gloves to be none too big. Tommy White, another of grand cld tiers of the ring and of the real brainy boys among the early crop, was in Denver at the time, and they wired for him to come¢ on and act as referee, figuring him quite an extra attraction. He accept- ed. The bout was decided in the “opry house,” and drew a tremendous throng. Among those present were the mayor, a Mr. Short, and a big party of other city officials. Murphy started off in his usual hurricane style. He was one of the most vigouous battlers I ever saw, and as he was getting a bit to the old side and a triflc passe he must have figured that he had to win quickly if he were to win at all. That’s how he came to pile up a tremendous lead in the first half dozen rour.de‘ Hart backing away most of the tim: and waiting. In a furious mix-up Bill swung his famcus “Mary Ann” his pet name for his famous old right-hand punch, and the forearm landed omn Hart's head, causing a severe concus- sion. The bout was stopped im- meditely, and the eager Murphy, who never missed a chance walked to the footlights to explain to the crowd just what had happened. The round ended right there, and Referee White told Hart to go to his corner and sit down, as he hadn’t or- dered the bout stopped. Amid a gen- eral bunch of excitement, the time- keeper rang the bell for the seventh round, and Hart advanced to the center. Murphy was still addressing the house and White started to count him out. When he got to ‘“ten and out” a riot broke out. Everybody in the house, including the mayor, seemed to want to take a punch at White. It looked to be a serious situation for the gaine and dauntless White, who stood smiling back at the angry mob. He finally got the house quiet enough to be heard, and for the first time in his career Tommy made & speech. The cxact wording of that speech never will be known, but in substance this is what Tommy told them: the one Explanation of Decision. “I can best explain my decision in favor of Hart in this way: Supposing in a horse race the favorite is lengths in front all around the track and then, just before the wire is reached, he stumbles and falls. The second horse comes on and goes under the wire—I leave it to you, isn’t he the winner?” The explanation was so unique and fit the case so aptly that the crowd switched like a flash, laughed heart- ily, and then applauded White. It made Tommy quite a favorite in Sioux city and he got a match there very soon afterward. Here's another little story about Sioux City that Tommy White tells and it carries with it one of the most unique rcasons I ever heard of for stopping boxing in a town. White was matched to meet Dick Green in a fifteen-round battle—Dick being our same old friend who used to he around Chicago a good deal. Dick went to Europe with Dick Kle- gen years ago and helped establish boxing in many different European cities. He is a Sioux Cty boy, how- ever. The town had a police force of eight husky coppers, and every onc of them was at the White-Green bat- tle that night,, the most interested of any of the spectators. The only po- liceman in town who wasn't there. in fact, was a desk sergeant, and he couldn‘t possibly get away. It so happened that one of prominent citizens of the town and trutally murdered and robbed at about the time the glove contest was in progress, and the coroner’s in- quest brought out the fact that the entire police force was at the mill that evening, instead of doing police duty. And there was no more fighting in Sious City-after that: the BENTON CAN'T PLAY, Tener So Notifies Giants Management; Case Will Be Settled Tomorrow. New York, Aug. 17.—For a few vs at any rate, “Rube” Benton is out of baseball, pending the decision as to whether he shall don a uniform with the Giants or, become an asset to the Pittsburg club in the final race for the pennant. Yesterday - President John K. Tener of the National league wired to Barney Dreyfuss in Pitts- burg asking him not-to use Benton until the case of each of the disput- ing sides could be heard and settled. The release of Benton to the Giants Cincinnati was received at the National league offices yesterday, so that just for the moment Benton is a ball player without a home. A meeting of the National league is to be held in Boston tomorrow and the case of Benton will probably come under discussion then, * with the prospect of a decision before any great lapse of time. The claim on Benton by the Giants rests on an option which was secur- ed last June from Garry Herrmann. It was orally agreed that if Benton was sold the Giants should have the first chance to secure his services. When Herrmann was reminded of ? thie, after Herzog’s deal with Pitts- burg, he repudiated the latter tran- gaction and said that the pitcher should so to New York. TOMMERS MAY BE CHOICE, Tormer Yale Star Succeed Quimby as Baseball Coach. Haven, Aug. 17.—The selec- tion of a baseball coach at Yale to succeed Frank Quimby, who has ithdrawn for good and all, is a sub- ject that i rernivi_ng a great tlcaly of consideration at New Haven. v\uh? alumni were divided on the me! of Quimby as a coach of the v nine, but where they will get a better man is the question that is puzzling them.

It is known, however, that Captain Milburn leans favorably toward Tommers, and where the word of the captain is as ciosely akin to law as it is at New Haven there would be small wonder, gay Yale men, conversant with the situation, if Tommers should be named. ection of coned er: NS CASE HEARD. Judge Raps 10 Day Clause of Or- ganized Ball. St. Louis, Aug. 17.—Argumnts on the application of Armando Marsans, Cuban bali player, who jumped from the Cincinnati Nationals to the St. Louis Federals a year ago, for mod- ification of an injunction which pr vents him from playing with St Louis, were resumed in the Federal District Court vesterday. Marsans contends that the Cincin- nati club has violated the terms of the injunction issued on its applica- tion by not making it possible for him to play with that club. Attorney C. C. Madison, represent- ing the Federal league, declared be- fore Judge Dyer that the Cincinnati club was prevented by the rules of the National Baseball Commission from carrying out the requirements of the injunction, which provided that Marsans could not play with the Federal league as long as Cincinnati complied with its contract with him. Madison said the National Commis- sion prohibited a club operated un- der its rules from considering any player of an “outlaw club” until three years have elapsed since he was a member of the “outlaw club.” Judge Dyer said he did not ap- prove ‘of the ten-day clause in the contracts of Organized baseball. “The ten-day clause,” he “gives the club all the better it. The club can give a player no- tice of release, but the player can- not give the team for which he is working any such notice. It is one- sided affair.” George H. Williams, attorney for the Cincinnati club, argued that the rules of the National Commission had nothing to do with the injunction and with the enforcement of a baseball contract. MAR! “OLD FOX” BUYS Boston, Ma: Aug. 17.—Manager Griffith’s mysterious disappearance and mission has been solved. The Oud Fox reached headquarters today, and annnounced that he had purchased First Baseman Charlie Judge and Outfielder Roy Jamieson from the Buffalo club, of the International league. Grifith spent Friday in Rochester and watched these two players in action. He did not intend to buy Judge, the latter being out of his mind entirely until he saw the first baseman perform. Then Griffith de- cided to secure Judge at any cost. It is said that Griffith gave a good sum for these two ball players, but purchase\price v not made public. In addition to this Griffith will have to turn over twg ball-playeds to Buffalo, neither one of which has been selected yet. PLAYERS, GRIFFITH FOR BRAVES, Boston, Mass., Aug 17.—Clark Criffith, manager of the Washington American league team, will appear as a member of the Boston Nationals for a moment when the team plays its first game on Braves' field next Wednesday. President James . Gaffney of .the Braves announced last night that Griffith would pitch the first ball in the game with St Louis and that Manager George T. Stallings of the Bostons would catch. It will count officlally as a ball or strike, he said. Griffith a former pitcher, and Stallings, a catcher in other years, are close friends. BLEACHERITES WILL BE DRY. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 17.—To pre- vent the recurrence of pop-bottle attacks on umpires at the local Na- tional league ball park, President Schuyler P. Britton of the local Na- tionals announced today that hen forth no soda water will be sold in the bleachers. The new order re- sulted from action of fans in throw- ing bottles and vegetables at Um- pire Byron in yesterday’s game with Chicago. The sale'of soda will continue in the grandstand, as the fans there did not participate in the attack on By- ron.

TUESDAY, AUGIIST 1578 COTTON WILL BE MADE CONTRABAND Alties Agree Upon Step to Keep Product From Teutons _ Washington, Aug. 17.—The allies’ intention to declare cotton contraband has been communica nofticially, ) e state de- partment. The department's advices are that the de m has been reached and the delay in making an announce- ment is due to the necessity of ar- ranging uniform treatment to the sub- ject by all the allies, The step has been agreed upon b Great Britain, France, Ru; and Belgium, but Japan's attitude has not been defined, and she may decide that no action is colled for from her at this time because of thae elimina- tion of the only German colony in the Far East from the military problem, and the absence of any reason for a blockade. Product Reaching Germany, Ever since the application of the British orders in council to cotton, among other American products, the entente allies have felt that some more effective and less burdensome method must be found for dealing Wwith cotton and preventing its entry into Germany and Austria. The allies contend that American cotton ship- pers, in many cases, alleged to he backed by German capital, have been shipping cotton to Germany through neutral ports. Under the orders-in-council such a cargo, if captured, was merely taken into a British port and paid for by the British government. The allies con- tend that under those conditions a great deal of the cotton got through Sweden, Denmark and Holland into Germany. From the allies’ point of view the orders-in-council were inef- fective because they obliged the Brit- ish government to buy cotton and at the same time offered an incentive to blockade runners. Pressure Compels Change. According to the advices reaching Washington the pressure in England and France has compelled a change. The British government originally garded cotton as non-contra expressed a desire to avoid in hardship upon the Southern planters and to avoid development of an anti- British feeling in this country. The change to contraband will be defend- ed as authorized by international law. Great Britain protested against the American blockade of out-going cot- ton from the south during the Civil war, and had refused to recognize it as contraband during the Russo-Japa- nese war, but will now content that radical changes in the conditions of warfare since that time justify a change in attitude. The entente pow- ers according to advices here, expect that the state department will resist making cotton contraband and arve preparing to base their action on . erican precedents. The advic ing here indicate they intend to that hoth Presidents Lincoln Johnson in formal proclamations sued in April, May and June in 1865, went on record as maintaining as con- traband of war “materials for the fab- riaction of ammunition.” That cotten has taken the place of saltpeter, al- ways recognized as absolute contra- band, in the manufacture of gun- powder will be held to be an estab- lished fact. To Lookout For Neutrals. 1t is expected that scome sort of arrangement will be proposed by which the allies will engage to allow cotton to travel unmolested to neu- tral countries in quantities in propor- tion to their normal consumption. What the effect will be on the Amer- ican cotton growers is the subject of contention. The allied powers are prepared ta ue that it will not be far reaching. The cotton interests have for some time been alarmed at the prospect and it is known that the state de- partment has been preparing to re- sist the new movement with every means at the command of diplomacy. and Berlin, Aug. 16, via London, Aug. 17.—The weekly report of the Reichs- bank, issued today, shows that the gold supply increased 47,802,000 marks ($11,950,500); metal stock, treasury certificates and notes of other banks, 74,242,000 marks ($18,560,500); de- posits. 109,935,000 marks ($27,483,- 760).

Pittsburg, Aug. 17.—Pitcher Jo- seph Conzelman has been sold to the Indianapolis cluib of the American | sociation, according to an announce- ment last night by President Bar- ney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg Na- tional league club. The purchase price was not announced. Conzel- man joined the Pirates in 1913, com- ing from Brown university.
