lost laurels, will come this afternoon
when he meets George Myers Church
of New Jersey, on the courts OF the
West Side Tennis club.
Whether Mclaughlin really has re-

The "Commet's" defeat of Theodore

HAVE QUIT HEAVY WORK

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept.
with the twenty round light
weight championship battle between
Freddie Welsh and Charlie White but
three days away and both principals
already trained to fighting edge, the
men today began a tapering off pro-
cess. Work will be appreciably light
ened, rough boxing bouts will be
eliminated from the daily program
and only light sparring exhibitions in
iulged in.
Welsh, who has worked steadily
now at hard clip for a longer period
than at any time since he won the
championship, appears to be in. great
condition. Some experts have Won
dered whether he has not trained too
fine but his manager and members OF
his camp scott at this. They say
Welsh is in shape to put up whirl-
wind battle over the full marathon
route If necessary.
Whites disposition shows that the
challenger Is keyed up to high ten
sion and Is on edge both physically
and mentally. 1t leaked out today
that White has apparently abandoned
the idea that he can knock out Fred
die with his famous left hook and Is
developing new offensive for the bat
tie, using right hang for his heavy.
1t was explained that White was max
ing careful study Of boxing and has
found that it was almost impossible
to land a left solidly through this
English defense.
Final touches were put on the
arena yesterday and heavy canvass
cover will be put over the ring Sun
day in order to avert possible storm.
The sale of tickets continued at a
fast pace while there has been some
falling off of out Of town demands,
due to the impending railway strike.

MUSKY GAMES
THROWN OUT; LEAD IS LOST

throwing out Of the games, Presldent
Justice states. Egan will have TO get
the national commission to resc1nd
the ruling before he can regain the
place he held in the percentage
column, and this is impossible before
the close of the present season. which
is on Labor day. so Muscatine as
pennant contender is conceded out OF
the running. unless something unlock
ed for happens.
AS will be remembered the Central
association had the four veteran rule
last year. This was amended this
year to the five veteran rule and
agreed to by all clubs in the league.
Indeed, Egan was one Of those re-
sponsible for the increasing of the
limit. He agreed to the rule and 1t
was he who last year invoked its use
by filing protests against Keokuk on
Cooper. and other clubs in the league.
And through his protests number
of games were thrown out.
Egan has acknowledged that he
was over the limit, but now seeks to
save his skin by having the rule
thrown out and his lost games re-
turned to him.
on July II, when Sheldon was secured
from Waterloo.
Basis for Ruling.
The national commissions ruling
that the five veteran rule is unc m
stitutional Is based on the PROPOSE
ton that 1t interferes with the en-
ployment of the big league cast-offs.
"This decision will not effect the
throwing out Of the games" saij
President Justice this morning, in
commenting en- the matter. II told
the league directors when the rule
was adopted that it was. unconstitu-
tional, but as every club voted to put
the rule into effect, that settled the
matter so far as the Central associa-
ton is concerned. If some club had
refused to vote for the rule, that
would have put a different light on
the matter. If Egan carries the mat
ter farther, It viii be brought up at
the meeting of the directors in Janu-
airy, but that cannot effect this sea
sons outcome as the league closes on
next Monday"
The disposal of Muscatine as a
pennant contender, leaves an inter
esting situation in the Central asso-
citation.
Hot FIGHT Predicted.
The fight will now be between
Clinton and Marshalltown. But five
points separate the two teams and
there are only three more days to
play.
Manager Frank Boyle CT Marshall
town is pitted against his former
catcher, Manager Larry Brown of
Clinton. Marshalltown has Pennon
on their pitching staff; Clinton has
Lefty Watkins. All four managers
and players were with Keokuk last
year. Boyle has sold Penner to Cleve-
land. Watkins was with him at the
early part of the season, but he re-
leased him. Brown imm ediately sign
ed him up, took him to Marshalltown
for a series and had the satisfaction
of seeing him trim his former mates
twice in series.

dered under a Misrepresentation. Attor-
neys for the War Department yesterday
pctitioned the court to vacate his or
ders.
The contention Is made that Brock

he was subject to the paramount juris-
diction and control Of the Federal au-
thorities. and the court was without
authority to release the youth from tho
service.

The petition informs the court that
careful consideration of the Govern
