WARRIOR GETS RELEASE.
Yankees Management Grant Players
Request For Release.

New York, N. Y, August 1s.-
Jack (Hops) Warhop, the former
undetermined gunner of the Yanks,
will not follow Ed Sweeney to exile
in Richmond. Jack baked at the
idea of going to the most southern
precinct of Ed Barrow's jurisdiction.
WARRIOR still thinks he is good
enough to pitch in any big league
and has asked for his unconditional
release. AS Hops has been a loyal
servant of the club for many years
his request was granted.
The Yanks also had no objection 10
tearing up Hops three-year contract.
which was just in it's first year. War
hop is likely to cling on with some
Federal league team, or may find a
haven with his old boss, George Stall
lings, in Boston.
Harry Sparrow announced yesterday
the Yanks have purchased the leading
hitter of the Southern association. He
is Outfielder T. G. Hendrix of the
New Orleans club. The latest aver
ages show him hitting 1921.
Hendrix was up in the majors be-
FORE He was with the Cleveland
Maps in 1911 and 1912 but he was only
a kid at the time, as he is only TWEEN
ty-four years old now. He weighs $50
pounds, is five feet ten inches and
bats and throws right-handed.

Panama, Aug. 1S.-Dr. Belieario
Porras, president of the republic, has
begun an investigation of the nation
al police force, officers of which are
charged with grating. According to
the evidence thus far adduccd certain
officers have been accepting brides
from gamblers and the keepers of
disOrderly resorts.
The most direct evidence is said
to have been supplied by secret DO
lice belonging TO the canal zone force,
who are declared to nave acted at the
instigation of the military authori-
ties who desire to protect American
soldiers
it is probable that the investiga-
ton will result in the reorganization
of the police department. There are
only two officers, it is asserted, who
are not involved in the-scandal.

Perkins Tells Progressives To Stick
To Party And Not Try TO r
Reform G. o. p.

New York, Aug. 1S.-George w.
Perkins, chairman of the national ex-
ecutive committee of the progressive
party in an address last night before
New York county progressives told
in detail why he considered it a mis-
take for progressives to leave the
party. and attempt to reform the re-
publican party from within anG as
serted that the belief that the pro-
gressive party was dwindling in mem
bership was, in his judgment, fal-
lacious.
1T must be remembered" he said,
that in 1912 our party was formed
largely on national and state ISSUES. 1t
had to be. Next year the situation
will be different. Many of the ques-
tions treated in our 1912 platform
have since been taken up by state
platforms and Will, therefore. not nee
essarily be g. part of our 1916 plat
form. Our strength in 1916 will be
very great
Any progressive who should now
leave his party for the republican
party. Mr.. Perkins said, would do 50
with his eyes wide open, in the face
of notice after notice from the re-
publican mana gers that they are go
ing right ahead with their old orig
inal program, have not the slightest
intention Of modifying, but by such
legislation as Mr.. Barnes proposes, in
tend, if possible to fasten and perpe-
tuate upon the people of this state
their pet reactionary ideas"

NO GENERAL STRIKE
SAYS JOHNSTON
MachiniSts Want Eight Hour Day
and Increased Wages

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The execu-
citation of mach; nists, in session here
yesterday decided to begin i'm
mediately a general movement TO
bring about improved working con-
that the first movement would be
directed against munition plants and
other large establishments profiting
from the unprecedented demand of
European countries for war sup
plies.
In announcing the decision, Presi-
dent w. H. Johnston of the internal
tional union said it was not the policy
of the board to bring about a general
strike but to deal with the situations
as they exist locally. A demand will
be made for an eight-hour working
day and for increased wages in all
cases where the men are being paid
below the standard wage scale.
Additional Organizers.
Autho-iz; \ on for the employment
of additional organizers was made
Mr.. Johnston said that the demand
for organizers to start unions among
the maChlnlStS naQ exceeded the sup
ply and that fifteen or twenty addi-
tional men soon would take the field.
With these, he said, there would be
a force of approximately 100 actively
engaged in organization work.
Despite the concessions made Dy
the munition plants to the machinists
at Bridgeport, Conn, there is still
feeling of dissatisfaction among the
employees, according to Mr.. Johnston
The employers consented to a fifty
hour week and the employees de-
mand further concession to forty
eight hours. "Unless this is DONE"
he said, ut is more than likely that
further trouble will arise there
Reports of dissatisfaction among
nachinists in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
the New England states have reach
ed labor officials here.

JOHN GULLY MOST
HONORED OF ALL
TIE FIsTIC KNIGHTS

Of all the fistic knights who have
won fame and glory in the ring since
James Figg introduced the "manIy
art" nearly two centuries ago, prac-
ucaIIy all, have retired into obscur-
ity after their fighting days were
| over. Dissipation has claimed many
of them as early victims, although a
surprising number Of ring heroes have
lived to g. ripe old age, although re-
duced to humble position in life.
OF the few pugilistic champions
who have gained honcrs in other lines
of endeavor after quitting the ring,
John Gully was perhaps the most
conspicuous and brilliant He be-
came member of the British parlia-
ment-the only pugilist to hold q seat
in that body. Only one other bFuis-
er ever attained so exalted a position,
as lawmaker. and that was John
Morrissey, who was champion of
America in the sos, and afterward
made a fortune on the turf and was
elected to the United States Con-
gress. There are a number of ex-
boxers in State legislatures, includ-
ing Eddie Santry in Illinois and Marty
McCue in New York but Morrissey
was the only fighter ever elected to
Congress.
Tomorrow viii be the fifty
anniversary of the death of John
Gully, at the age of eighty, full of
years and honors. He had won the
championship of England, and in af
ter life twice captured the classic
Derby with his horses; and sat in
Parliament two sessions. AS a mine
owner he amassed a fortune Of sew
eraI millions. When he died on
March 9, 1853, an immense concourse
of people, including the mayor and
| corporation of Pontefract, followed
the coffin to its last resting place.
Gully's career was full or romance.
He was the son of a publican, and
in his youth supported his mother by
working as a butcher. Becoming in
