:—-u—__.=___ MASS. BOXING COM. UPHOLDING WILSON He Is Stil World's Middleweight Champion As Far As Their Rec- ords Are Concerned. Boston, July 30.—Johnny Wilson is still world middleweight boxing champion so far as the Massachusetts boxing commission is concerned. The decision of Referee Jimmy Gardner that Bryan Downey struck.Wilson a foul blow in the seventh round of their bout at Cleveland Wednesday night will be recognized by the com- mission in this state, it was officially announced. In refusing to accept the action of the Ohio boxing commission in re- versing the referee's award, the Mass- achusetts commission holds that the referee is the final authority. His appointment by the Ohio commission, Commissioner Eugene Buckley of Massachusetts declared, carried with it supreme control over the contest. Martin Killilea, manager of Wilson, added today to statements of last night that he was preparing a formal statement of the incidents connected with the Cleveland bout. He alleged that a deliberate attempt was made to rob Wilson of the title. 0LD TIMERS WIN Some Good Stuff While on Mound With Chief Zimmer Catehing. Cy Young Shows Cleveland, July 30.—While old time baseball players were hardly to be ex- pected to show much of their old fire in a game here yesterday as part of Cleveland’s 125th anniversary celebra- tion, still, all things considered, they did remarkably well in - defeating a team of veteran sandlotters by 11‘to 6. Speed was absent, but enthusiasm kept them going. Cy Young, heroic pitcher of more than 500 major league battles, was on the mound for two innings and showed that he still podsesses a fast ball and a fair curve. He allowed only one run, at times dazzling batters who faced him. Chief Zimmer, his old time catcher in the Cleveland team thirty years ago, was behind the bat when Cy hurled. Jess Burkett, former leading bats- man of the National league, put up a splendid game, with three hits and a pass in four trips to the plate. Nap Lajoie, former Cleveland idol when the team was called thé Naps, made a brace of hits, while Bill Bradley was credited with three. Nick Altrock, an added feature, mixed plenty of fen with his pitching, allowing. the Sand-lotters to get three hits. Lights of other days, Red Nelson, Heinie Berger and Earl Mqore appeared in the box succeeding Cy Young. Moore did especially good work, allow- ing only one hit in two innings, NOT AFTER WEAVER Manager McGraw Denies His Trip to Chicago Was to Secure ‘‘Buck” If Court Clears Him. Cincinnati, July 30.—John McGraw rejoined the Giants yesterday morning after a trip to Chicago, where he saw John Heydler, National league head, who informed McGraw that his suspen- sion would be lifted today. McGraw denied a story printed here that he had gome to Chicago to see Buck Weaver about his joining the Giants if he were cleared by the court. “‘I saw Weaver, but 1 made no men- tion of his return to baseball,”” said McGraw. ‘“ I went to the court house to see Mr. Heydler about my suspen- sion and the charges made by Bill Klem. There I happened to run into Weaver, who made the trip around the world with me. As for Weaver coming to the Giants if he is exonerated—that, . it seems to me would be quite im- possible."” DUGAN JUMPS ATHLETICS. New Haven Boy Fails to Show Up for Yesterday’s Game. Philadelphia, July 30.—Disappearing Joe Dugan has jumped the Athletics again. He failed to appear at Shibe Park yesterday for the game with Detroit, and Manager Mack admitted that he had probably left for his home in New Haven. *‘I do not think he has joined any in- dependent team,” said Mack, ‘‘and the reason for his disappearance was his sensitiveness to, the shouts of some of the fans since the club returned home. If he does not report to us immediately and give a satisfactory account of his absence it will mean suspension. ‘I was told that he was through with Philadelphia baseball for all time, but 1 warned him that he would have to play here.’ INVADERS ARE PRACTICING Australian and British Davis Cup Teams in Daily Workout Pittsburgh July 30.—The Australian and British Davis cup tennis teams are staging daily practice sessions on the courst of the Allegheny Country club at Sewickley, where on August 4, 5 and 6 they will meet in an elimination series.

This he did and at almost the same moment, a series of shots sounded from the mail car which was hitched just back of the engine. Two of the bandits upon boarding the car, ordered the seven clerks at work there, to throw up their hands. They quickly complied, and the ban- dits’ selecting Lantz, demanded to know from him where the valuable mail was kept. Shot Through Legs. Lantz told them there was no val- uable mail on board at which one of the bandits opened fire on him shoot- ing him through toth legs. The gun- man kept the clerks covered while the other robbers made a quick search of the car. Selecting a bag containing foreign- registered mail he backed toward the door and calling to his companions prepared to leave. Meantime the pair on the engine had done their work and as the train pulled into ‘the little station at Cas- sandra they all dropped to the ground and disappeared. The conductor and brakemen, run- ning toward the engine to ascertain the cause of the sudden stop, en- countered mail clerks pouring out of the car. They gave Lantz such aid as was possible and then took the train to Johnston where Lantz was removed to a hospital. Physicians there said his injuries were not seri- ous. Posses on Trail.

NORTHGLIFFE LT T T e —— MORE EflMPllEATEl] He Denies Alleged Interview— It May Prove Hoax London, July 30.—The sensational and unprecedented incident of a British sovereign repudiating to par- liament through the premier state- ments attributed to him in a news- paper interview is given the greatest prominence in the entire British press thiy morning. Political circles have been able to talk of little else since Premier Lloyd George appeared in the house of com- mons yesterday and read a statement, authorized by King George, in which the king declared that words attrib- uted to him concerning the govern- ment's Irish policy in a reported in- terview in the United States by Lord Northcliffe, owner of the London T!mes were a ‘“‘complete fabrication.” The Alleged Interview. The alleged interview quoted King George as saying to Premier Lloyd George just before his majesty left England to open the Ulster parlia- ment: “Are you going to shoot all the people in Ireland?” The premier is said to have replied: “No, your majesty."” “Well, then, you must come to some agreement with them,” the king was quoted as saying. “This thing cannot go on. I cannotyhave my peo- ple killed in this manner.” (The foregoing conversation appeared in an_interview published in New York city July 25, attributed to H. Wick- ham Steed, editor of the London Times. who is traveling in America’ with Lord Northcliffe. It was given bty Mr. Steed the day after his arrival trom England and subsequently ap- peared in English newspapers attri- buted directly to Lord Northcliffe. The latter yesterday sent a cablegram from Washington to Lord Stamford- ham, private secretary to King George, denying the reported inter- view. Tha cablegram said: orthcliffe’s Denial. “Pleasa convey to his majesty with my humble duty my denial of ever having ascribed to his majesty the word or words as stated by the DT jer today. I gave no such interview. British newspapers display the en- tire affair at great length and under large headlines this morning. The papers controlled by Lord Northcliffe contain brief editorials calling atten- tion to the denials of both King George and Lord Northcliffe. May Prove a Joke. The Times in an early edition, as sumed that the reporter who took the zlleged interview was ‘“misled by ig- norance of. British constitutional prac- tices, but dramatized the conyersation with such technical skill” that the government was induced to accept his version “of a purely imaginary con- versation between King George and (he premier” The statement does not-appear in later editions of the Times neithe: does the Times nor the Daily Mail, an- other Northcliffe paper, offer a fur- ther explanation of Lord Northcliffe’s share in the incident, but both devote considerable space in commenting up- c¢n the king's correct attitude in re- lation to his opening of the Belfast parliament. The Times says: ““At Belfast the king’s action ob- ~ivusly was in accordance with con- stitutional tradition, ebut at the same me it should be clearly undersood {hat his majesty constitutionally was entitled to call the attention of his advisors to his own standpoin The Mail says that it is unneces- sary to remind his readers regarding (1e “attitude of the Northcliffe press ioward the throne of England and the ievered sovereign who occupies it.”” Praises for the King. “The king,” it continues, “has done more than anybody to bring about a new understanding of the Irish prob- iem and to advance the cause of Irish peace, but he has acted. as he always acts, within the limits of his consti- tutional position.” After ridiculing the attribution of “such nonsense” to the Kking, the Morning Post says that Lord Northcliffe’'s denial was needed ‘‘as the words ascribed to him were not entirely out of character to other au ihentic utterances from the sanre ups.’ Referring to an article in the Dail, Mail last Thursday describing the activity of Lord Northcliffe in Amer- ica the Post continues: Hints at Megalomania. “Lord Northcliffffe mind is clearly overstrained. It is a case not for the politicians but for the doctors there is a point at which megalomania be- comes dangerous. The patient must cither be persuaded to rest or his friends must fear the worst.” The Daily News suggests that the whole affair may prove to have been a hoax, and adds. “The lesson to be drawn will be simply the danger of semi-royal pro- gress in foreign countries of perl- patetic potentates of undefined status. They are only a jest in themselves, FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS GEEWHIZ,, FRECKLES « TM GETTIN' GooD AN' UUNGRVY- JA S'DoSE WE 60T ANVTHING IN OUR TENT o EAT?
