The Yankee club officials not only took steps vesterday to begin proceedings against the league president to re- strain him from preventing New York Using the player, but also issued statement in it directly | charged that Johnson is interested in | the Cleveland club. The statement made by Licut. Col. T. L. Huston, treasurer and half owner of the Yan- kees, follow “The trouble is fundamental. believe that the president of the | American league is interested in the Cleveland club. We are not going to attempt to prove this, but that is our | belief, and we believe it is the convi { tion of every club owner in the | American league. Until this carbun- | cle is removed there can be no health in our league.” After protracted conferences yes- terday of the New York owners, Col. Jacob Ruppert and Lieut. Col. Hus- ton and their lawyers, Harry Sparrow business manager of the club, said: “Legal machinery was put into mo- tion yesterday to protect the club's rights. Our attorneys were bu greater part of he day in looking up he most expedient way to start legal action and in drawing up the neces- sary paper 2 To Be Real Fight. Col. Huston stated that the prelim- inary action would be to get out an injunction against Johnson and pre- vent him from interfering with the New York club’s property rights. The €lub’s attorne; also took up the question of instituting a personal damage suit against Johnson on be- half of Cols. Ruppert and Huston. Discussing this phase of the situation, Col. Huston said: “Johnson brought this fight on himself and it will be a real fight. We intend to take advantage of every means that honorable gentlemen may employ to protect our rights.” The New York club has a precedent for ing to restrain Johnson from Interfering in the use of M Last summer the National baseball com- mission awarded Pitcher Scott Perry of the Philadelphia American club to the Boston Nationals, but Connie Mack, manager and part owner of the Philadelphia club, secured an in- junction restraining the commission from making its decree effective. Col. Huston said that every club in the American league except Philadel- phia and St. Louis had made an of- fer to Boston for Pitcher Mays. Mr. Johnson would not see press representatives vesterday, but issued a statement announcing that the spe- cial meeting of the American league called for today had been cancelled. The New York owners had informed Johnson that they would not attend the meeting. “We would not take our case before a packed jury,” Hus- ton said. Col. Huston denied reports that the Yankee players would not take the field tomorrow for their scheduled game with St. Louis unless Mays was reinstated. He said the plavers un- derstood the situation and will do nothing foolish, ‘“Manager Huggins has explained it to them,” he added, “and they know we are doing every- thing possible for them and the club.” today in injunction a which is we ! Boston, Aug. 5.—President H. H. Frazee left last night for New York to attend the special meeting of the American ieague, which had been called for today to take up the Carl Mays case, but which was cancelled Jast night. Frazee said he would op- pose any effort to have Mays suspend- ed for the remainder of the season on the ground that five clubs in the league desired such action. He said he had aflidavits that five clubs had attempted to buy Mays from his club, after it was announced that the pitch- er had left the Red Sox. Dunn Declines to Comment. Aug. 5.—James Dunn, of the Cleveland American league club, last night refused to comment on the charge that Presi- dent Ban- Johnson of the American league has an interest in the Cleve- land club. “The Cleveland club is a stock corporation,” Mr. Dunn said. *Mr. Johnson is the one to say wheth- er he has an mterest in the Cleveland elub.” Chicago, president NEW NAVY COACH.

BOXING AT PHILLY Tendler Is Dropped Twice in Opening Round by Willie Jackson, But Comes Through and Wins. Philadelphia, Aug. 5.—Ten thou- sand boxing enthusiasts gathered in | Shibe park last night and saw their favorite lightweight, Lew Tendler, | batter Willie Jackson, the New York contender for the title, to a condition | of helplessness in a six round bout. But Tendler did not have the battle all his own way, for he was neaver to a knockout in the first round than at any time since he began to chal- lenge Benny Leonard. The opening sion barely got un- der way when Jackson twice sent the fielding | and | | '(rSoimebody Is Alv;a}js T-al;:ing the Joy Out of Life il - _J By Briggs | 1S MY BIRTHDAY — How oD Do You THIMW | AM - L AS Youne | lead to work on in the first two in- | Brooklyn emerged with | Quaker southpaw to the canvas with well placed right hooks to the jaw, and when Tendler arose the second time he was in a shaky condition. kson made a vigorous effort fo ! finish his man, but the Philadelphian by good ring tactics,, managed to | weather the storm and get to his cor- | ner. Jackson was so weak when | he came out for the last round that he did nothing but clinch in an ef- fort to escape punishment. Tendler tried desperately for a knockout, but | Jackson, although weak and bleed- | ing, was on his feet at the close. Kid Lewis, former welterweight champion, who recently had a lively tussle with Steve Latko and was sur- | prised with a knockdown punch in the first round, faced the same rug- ged fighter in the ring here last night. Lewis had another very lively ex- | perience. The former champion won through cleverness, but was hard pressed. | Joe Tiplitz, a New York light- weight, who recently brought himself into,the limelight by stoppng George Chaney in the third round, solicited | the good opinion of him by outpoint- ing Frankie Britt, lightweight cham- pion of New England, in a fast six round contest. Eddie Moy of Allentown, Pa., shad- ed Harry Pierce of Red Hook, who | acted as a substitute for Joe Welling. Pierce was the aggressor, but missed many of his blows and Moy took ad- vantage of all openings to pepper his | man with stinging jabs.
