New York, Aug. 9—Pal Moran, New Orleans lightweight, yesterday fin- ished training for his scheduled ten- round bout with Jack Bernstein at southerner is determined to prove that the decision which Bernstein gained over him at the Common- wealth 8. C. last winter was a fluke. He appears to be in condition to do it. Moran will outweigh Bernstein slight- ly and the latter's junior lightweight title will nol be at stake, but that is not going to keep the Yonkers youth from going out after the victory. All his Yonkers friends will be there to cheer him on, and he has set his heart on demonstrating that he was not fighting beyond himself when he won from the present featherweight cham- pion, Johnny Dundee. Bernstein will have youth and ag- gressiveness to mateh against Moran's weight, acknowledged speed and cle erness, He will also have the better punch, if past performances are to be believed, and he hopes with that of handing down a decision. Moran was reported a slight favorite in the betting yesterday. There will be two other promising ten-round bouts on tonight's card. In the first of these Frankie Jerome will take on Danny Edwards, the colored bantamweight, and Tommy Noble and nish the entertainment in the other. In the six-rounder Tony Palmer of the East Side will meet his old rival, Sid Terris. Terris won the last bout be- tween these two after having been knocked down three times. There will also be a four-round curtain rals- er on the card.

McCray, who declared his action was prompted out of respect to the mem- ory of President Hardin The contest, however, will be held here Aug. 17, according to an an- nouncement by Jack Druley, pro- moter. The last minute action of the gov- ernor followed requests from civie or- ganizations of Rushville, Ind, who protested against the bout being held before the burlal services for Presi- dent Harding are completed.

Cincinnati, Aug. 9 . —Winning one ball game a day is regarded as a pret- ty fair performance in these days of the lively ball. To take double-header is performing the un- usual. Twice this season has the feat been turned in the National League. John Stuart, a rookie pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals, was the first twirler to win a double-header. He was closely followed by Arolfo Lusue of the Cincinnati Reds. Stuart, who is a produce of Ohio State University, broke into the games won column with a bang. He mere- ly used to finish games, but scarcity of pitchers caused Manager Rickey to start him against the Boston Braves. He won, allowing only three .hits Rickey sent him right back for the down & JONES IN BUSINESS, WL STLL COACH Tad With Coal Company But Continues at Yale New Haven, Aug. 9.—Tad Jones, head coach of the Yale football eleven, has been made vice president and sales manager of the Albert H. Powell Coal company. He has as- sumed his new duties, but President Powell of the company said last night that they will not conflict with his football coaching. , “Jones will be free to devote as much attention as he desires to Yale football coaching,” said Powell. - ‘Tt is expected that after the close of the present season Jones will give his business attention to his duties in connection with the Powell company, but he will always be free to take any part in coaching at Yale which the interests of the university de- mand. ~Yale men would not regard with favor Jones' withdrawal - from the university as a coach and ad- viser.” Jones yesterday was busily engaged in landing several important contracts out of town. It is understood that he has no intention of submitting his resignation as Yale head coach. He will summon the EIli football squad about Sept. 15, and complete the coaching plans which he set under- way during the spring practice. Jones was vice president of the Ames’ Shipbuilding company of Se- attle during the World war, and re- signed that position in 1920 to accept a call to return to Yale as head coach, a position which he filled in 1916. Professor Clarence Mendell, chair~ man of the Yale Athletic Association, said last night that the contract of Tad Jones has two years more to run and that he expects Jones to re- main during that time. Powell said later that if Yale desires to use Jones as head coach for the next two sea- sons, he will assist in every way to make it possible. 69 73 Philad2lphia Boston ..... heats, but dropping the second to Ro- ger C.

Miller Huggins was managing the Cardinals at the time. He was sorely pressed for pitching and offered a bonus to Doak if he would turn in two victories. Doak collected. Luque's two wins were scored over Brooklyn. Late in the first game with his team behind, a pinch hitter was sent in to bat for him. Before the inning was over the Reds had scored four runs and went into the lead, Cincinnati won by that margin, s0 Luque was credited with the vie- tory.

Evans Drives Into Legal Bunker; Money Troubles Chicago, Aug. 9.—Chick Evans, for- merly national open and amateur golf champion drove into a legal bunkér yesterday but expressed confidence in his ability to recover with the same dexterity he exhibited on the golf links. Application was made before Judge O’Connell of the municipal court for a summons to have Evans show why a warrant should not be issued for him on the charge of failing to make good a check for $7,600 given eight months ago to Charles J. Mooere with whom the golfer is said to have deait in a transaction on the board of trade. Evans was out of town and a post- ponement was taken until next week. DUTCH"” SCHLIEBNER. St. Louis, Aug. 9.—George Sisler was voted the most valuable player in the American League. Eye trouble has kept Sisler out of the game this year. “Dutch” Sch- Jiebner is acting as his understudy at first base for the St. Louis Browns. It is the toughest assignment in base- ball. Schliebner was grabbed by ¥ohl from Brooklyn as a last resort. He was the only first sacker available. Unable to hit in the National he had been relegated to the bench National League critics rated Schliebner a fair fielder and not much better than a .200 hitter in the ma- Jors. A fast ball ihside was said to be his weakness. Manager Fohl took a chance. Inside of a week he had changed Schlieb- ner’'s style at bat and the averages show that he is hitting close to .300. Had it not been for the Browns' dire need of a first haseman, Schlieb- ner would now be back in the minors, despite the fact that he has proved he is of big league caliber. w Schliebner had the ability but need- ed much coaching, which he received under Fohl. His showing as Sisler's understudy has won him a place with | the Browns even if Sisler should re- turn to the game. BOUT POSTPONED.
