TENDLER DEFEATS DRONEY Reading, Pa., July 5.—Lew Tendler of Philadelphia beat Tim Droney of Lancaster at Lauers Park here yester- day in eight rounds.

REFORMERS DEMAND ARREST OF BOXERS International Reform Bureau Continues to Make Noise Jersey Citr, July 5.—Details of the plans for the prosecution of public officials in New Jersey were dis- cussed today by officials of the in- ternational reform bureau who vain- ly attempted to prevent the staging of the Dempsey-Carpentier contest last Saturday. The officials who de- clared they would take action in the state courts against state officials whom they considered had permitted an infraction of the law met in the office of Herbert Clark Gilson, attor- ney for the bureau. The bureau has already demanded the arrest of Jack Dempsey, the vic- torious champion on a charge of as- sault and battery upon the person of Georges Carpentier, the defeated French champion of Europe. Dr. Wil- bur F. Crafts, superintendent of the reform bureau has also declared that Governor Edwards violated the law, as well as spectators who, flocked into the great arena and are also cited by the reformers as law-break- ers. They base their contention upon the assertion that the spectacle witnessed Saturday was a prize fight, which is prohibited under the New Jersey boxing law. Boxing ex- hibitions only, thcy said, are sanc- tioned in this statute. Asked what steps the bureau in- tended taking toward the punish- ment of those responsible for the fight, Dr. Crafts, replied: “I cannot make public our plans at present.” One of the purposes of the bureau it was believed would be the attempt to prevent similar contests in the future within the borders of New Jersey. It was indicated that a test case might come up in the courts to determine whether the boxing law of the state which was enacted in 1916 was a repeal of the Crime's Act, still on the statute books, which prohibits prize fighting. The reform- ers said they were confident that they could prove that the latter law still exists, and that they could pre- vent future contests of the sort held here Saturday. Dr. Crafts announced that the bu- reau was planning a crusade against the exhibition of motion pictures of the fight anywhere in the world. As for a Carpentier-Gibbons or Dempsey-Willard .fight, Dr. Crafts had this to sav: “We will go through the state to speak against the proposed use of the Jersey City arena for another fight on Labor Day.” PLAYGROUND RESULTS.

Johnny Mullen, who has been one of the greatest local hoosters of the champ, however, only smiled even when the arena swayed and shook, frightening many, and confi- dently announced that the doom of the challenger was being sealed by his carrying the fight to the champion. The result showed clearly that Mullen nad the dope. “Dan” Richardson was loud in his praise of the Frenchman, but he agrees that at no other time than a moment in the second round, did the Frenchman impress him as having a ghost of a show. “Dan” was amazed at the manner in which the challenger carried the battle to the champion, ard the manner in which Demps withstood the apparent heavy blows at his jaw.
