TENER STIRRED BY
REVOLT OF MINORS
Authority Of National Com
mission Must Be Unques-
toned, He Declares.

The action Of Ed Barrow and his In.
ternational League henchmen In voting
to defy the decision Of the National Com
mission In the Ebbets-Newark case did
not win the minor leaguers much popu-
larity with the National League mag
mates yesterday. John X. Tener. presi-
dent of the National League. and one Of
the commissioners who voted to award
Ebbets $1,000. especially was displeased
with the action OF the international
League In defying the supreme court of
baseball.
81 am net prepared at this time to say
what will happen to the International
League II It persists In IT'S determination
to ignore the commissions finding
said Tener. but you know what has
happened In the past to clubs or players
who have refused to abide by baseball
law. As far as ] now this Is the first
instance where n league openly has
dehc,: the commission. and naturally we
will take some action. The case. how
ever. requires thought, and II does not
do to jump at conclusions. Right now !
cannot say what action the commission
will take. but there Is no denying that
some action will be taken at the next
meetings OF the commission.
III our authority Is deiied nov and
II Is permitted to be ignored II would set
a bad precedent. So FAR the authority OF
the commission has been unquestioned
II VIC do not enforce all of our decisions
only those hat suit. any one can com
along and say: Well. We won't abide By
your decision ="
In discussing the International Leagu,

the National Commission, said. II do no,
want to tall on this thing until I hea,
officially from Barrow n see Just wha'

'COWLER TOO CLEVER
FOR MICHIGAN BOXER
Smith Stopped in Seventh
Rather Knocks Out
"Newal" Mccoy.

Championship aspirations OF Homer
Smith. the Kalamazoo Farmer Boy.
were ruined last night at the Broadway
Sporting Club BY a swarm Of left jabs.
These were planted by Tom Cowler Of
England on the nose and left ~ Of
the agriculturist, and the harvest was a
closed left optic. a cut mouth and four
knockdowns-two in the second and the
other pair in the seventh round. Smith
was SO exhausted after no was noored
the second time in the seventh round
that Referee Johnny Haukop stopped the
encounter and sent the men to the Dress
ing rooms.
Smith made a courageous night. but
he was outclassed In boxing skill by the
Englishman. who peppered his man with
a succession of cutting lefts to the face
interpreted with heavy rights to body
and Jaw. smith landed at times. but
his delivery is so awkward that his
punches had little or 10 effect.
The big boy from Michigan invariably
went on balance when he let go a left
or a right. and that laid him wide open
for Cowler's fusillades.
Smith made his best showing In tho
sixth. when he carried the fight to Cow
Ter and got In a number OF good punches
TO the body and face.
The New Al Mccoy was knocked out
In the tenth round by Augie Rather, the
former amateur welterweight champion,
Mccoy, "A sturdy. tow headed youth
without any boxing skill. was as easy Il
mark for Rather as Smith was for Cow
Ter. Rather jabbed his man In the nose
round after round and had him groggy
as early as the third session.
In the sixth round McCoysyvas almost
loored by a right IN the Jaw, but he
regained his feet. 1t looked as though
Mccoy would 60 the route. but thirty
seconds before the end OF tho tenth
round Rather landed on McCoy's Jaw.
He fell on his face and was counted out.
