Fixing July 1, as the final date for closing mid-season player deals, will be discussed it was indicated, B. B. Johnson, league president, favoring that date as opposed to August 1 the present final day. What K. M. Landis commissioner termed the “un-American” attitude of the Western, Three I, International and Pacific coast league in refusing to permit drafting of players also was one of the chief points for discussion. No definite plan of action has been formulated but some procedure prob- ably will be mapped out. Discussion of selection of the most valuable player and forms of reward comprehended cholce by a committee of baseball writers for among other things, his batting and fielding rec- ords sportsmanship and general con- duct on the fleld. One reward under consideration would be placing a bronze statue of the player in the Smithsonian Institution and the other erection of a tablet.in Potomac park, Washington honoring the player se- AWMAYO Referee is Foroed to Use Both Hands in Counting Out Boxers in a Col- orado Ring. Denver, July 27.—The referee of a boxing contest at Grand Junction Colo. was forced to use both hands in counting out the principals in a bout there last night, according to a dis- patch to the News here.

As he started his dive to the mat however he completed the haymaker he had start- ed for Hutton's stomach. It landed. Hutton and Bowens collapsed on the mat at the same time and the ref- eree counted both men out. INVADERS OUT OF IT Taylor and Herd Have Practically No Chance to Win Annual Open Event On Shawnee Links. Shawnee on the Delaware, Pa., July 27.—The annual open tournament of the Shawnee Country club, that jagged rock upon which in recent years Harry Vardon, Ted Ray, George Duncan and Abe Mitchell have crashed and foun- dered, sent another pair of craft from Britannia's golfing armada reeling off in distress yesterday when J. H. Tay- lor and Sandy Herd, respectively, re- turned score of 159 and 156 for the first half of the seventy-two hole com- petition. Herd with his 156 was exactly 11 strokes behind the leader and with the five times winner of the British open championship, Taylor, spotting the leader fourteen “shots it was pretty generally agreed that Shawnee once| again has been saved for the home brigade. The fight, with the conclusion of the two rounds had narrowed to a razor edge keenness, ith John Golden, the| Tuxedo homebred, occupying the post which at the same time at Skokie in the national open championship was held by John Black, the California BREWSTER PLANS PLAYGROUND MEET Athletic Teams From Municipal Grounds to Compete on Aug. 16 Supervisor 8.

New York, July 27.—Pope Pius XI. is eager to have American athletics introduced into Italy by the Knights of Columbus, reports Edward L. Hearn K. of C. European commissioner, who returned on the Majestic after in- augurating the K. of C. $1,000,000 Welfare work in Rome. “Italian youngsters,” he states, “‘are taking readily to baseball and they are fond 'of English soccer. The Ital- fan climate is made to order for base- ball, and it would not surprise me if, with the start the games will re- ceive from the K. of C. welfare opera- tions, that America's national pastime may also become Italy's national game." Mr. Hearn will report on the prog- ress of the K. of C. work to the con- vention of the Knights to be held in Atlantic City beginning Tuesday. PICKS BENNY TO WIN Hoboken Astrologer Sees Signs in Sun, Moon and Zodiac. a Knockout For Lightweight Champion Over Tendler New York, July 27.—In an elabor- ate statement In which the sun, the moon, the signs of zodlac and the planets, especially the martial planet Mars, are used for the basis of his prognostication, “Prof.” Gustave Meyer, Hoboken astrologer, yester- day predicted that DBenny Leonard will hold his lightweight boxing championship tonight against his challenger Lew Tendler, Leonard, according to the statement, will prob- ably win by a knockout. Leonard's victory, according to the astrologer will be “due to the fact that Leonard had the martial planet Mars in friendly aspect to the sun at his birth.” Tonight, Meyer explained, “Tendler will have the martial planet Mars badly aspected in his nativity, or chart, similar in aspect to. when I predicted that Moran wolld knock out Palzer in seven rounds back In 1913. Hence Tendler is due to see more stars than he ever saw in all his pugilistic career, and will imagine that his star is setting.” GEORGE FC ER A MANAGER Springfield, Mo., July 27.—George Foster, former Boston American league pitcher, has heen named man- ager of the local Western Association RIVAL FIGHTERS AWAIT THE GONG I¢onard and Tendl;; Pronounced Fit lor Tonight's Fray New York, July 27. — The second “battle of the century at Boyle's 30 Acres in Jersey Clty—this tipe with, the lightweight championship at stake —will take place tonight when Benny Leonard defends his title against Lew Tendler, Philadelphia challenger, in a 12-round bout, Both boxers pronounced themselves fit and confident on the eve of a match perhaps unparalleled in inter- €st In the history of the lightweight ranks and rivalling as a fistic at- traction the memorable encounter a year ago on the same battle- ground, when Jack Dempsey success- fully defended his heavyweight crown against Georges Carpentier, Benny Looks For K. O, Leonard finished his tralning with the flat declaration that he would “win by a knockout — with{§i-seven rounds.” Tendler was no less confl- dent of his abllity to land a décisive blow. Both men must weigh in at or under the lightweight limit, 185 pounds at 2 o'clock this afternoon and have posted forfeits of $15,000 as guarantees, Under the New Jersey boxing laws no decision can be given i{f the bout goes the limit. Thus Tendler's only chance to displace Leonard as cham- pion is by scoring a knockout or by a foul, arrangements have been made to handle the largest throng that ever attended a lightweight championship contest. Tex Rickard ‘estimated the receipts at between $400,000 and §500,000 and the attendance at 75,000, In Case of Rain Weather conditions were promising but should conditions be unfavorable the contest will be held tomorrow night or the first available night, Rickard announced. Under the terms of the contract for the battle the principals will box on a percentage basis, According ' to Rickard, they will get 621 per cent of the gross receipts; Leonard’'s share being 421 and Tendler's 20 per cent. Their First Meeting The contest will mark the first time Leonard and Tendler have ever met in the ring. They were signed several months ago for a contest in Phila- delphia but it was called off when l.eonard injured his hand training. The assertion that in tonight's bout there is more than a desire fér pugil- istic honors and the money that it will bring i{s based on the fact that Tendler's manager claimed Leonard's forfeit of $5,000 for the Philadelphja match in spite of the latter's vigorous protest. Leonard, a crafty ring general, with a formidable record as champion in the last five years and ranked by many followers of the game as the best in his division since the days of Joe Gans, will face a hard-hitting, dangerous southpaw in the Quaker City challenger. Rivals Are The Class Both have battled the class in their ranks. Leonard, considered the faster and more resourceful boxer, has a more impressive record. The frequent assertion has been made that the champion could’not reduce to the 135 pound limit and still retain his stam- ina, but he denied this opinion as he completed his training well inside the dividing line.
