ALLIES OBSERVE
LAW IN BLOCKADE
France and England Contend
That There Have Been
No Violations.
THEIR JOINT NOTE READY
Based Largely on Precedents
Laid Down by This Country
in Civil War.
THEIR JOINT NOTE READY

WASHINGTON. April 20--According
to authentic Information reaching
washinet ton. Great Britain and France.
In their joint note replying to the
American protest against intcrferences
with neutral trade. make no attempt
to dispute principles contended for by
the United States, but Insist that those
principles have been given legal In
depreciation and application by the
allies in their blockade OF Germany
and Austria.
This note. which will he handed to
the State Department within the next
day or two b. the British and French
amba ssadors. Is understood TO he long
and extremely technical, treating of the
whole subject on a purely legal basis,
and relying largely upon the precedents
laid down by the United States in the
Civil War. It is said tho allies assume
that the United States government does
not contend that II has the right 10
ship goods without restriction into
Germany or Austria through contiguous
neutral countries such as Holland.
Sweden and Denmark
RIGHT TO REGULATE
ADMISSION OF GOODS
The concession of the right to block
ado an enemy country, universally rec
"ynizcd, is regarded as necessarily
CARRYING with II the right to regulate
the admission Of goods to the neutral
country evidently destined to be trans
ie,rcd 10 the enemy. Consequently, X
us contendcd that 1t is perfectly within
the spirit OF International Law to limit
imports into neutral country. such as
Holland, o! goods that might be useful
TO Germany and Austria TO the amount
normally consumed in the neutral
country.
Moreover. it is argued that incident
TO the exercise of this right OF rerula
tion OF imports is the right 10 search
vessels approaching the neutral coun-
try IN this connection the allies hold
that. while in early days il was possible
10 conduct such search At sea, con-
tiitions of modern sea traffic have made
this Impossible. hence It has become
necessary To take the neutral ship TO
the nearest convenient port. where the
cargo may be examined. This is the
explanation offered for the apparent
unreasonable diversion of neutral ships
from their regular courses, and what
has been complained OF as an unneccs-
sary delay in search. II was with a
view 10 reducing complaint on this
score. IL is pointed out, that arrange
'nents were made for the British en-
haasy here to advise would-be Ameri-
can shippers whether their cargoes
probably would be subject to de,en-
ton.

Les Darcy Is Not
Coming to America

New York, July 29.-Less Darcy
the Australian champion and sensa-
ton OF the boxing game, will not meet
an American fighter on American soil
until the European war is over.
Tucked in his jeans are tickets for
his passage to this country, but It is
learned from Jack Kearns, the San
Francisco manager, who was to ham
die the great Australian in this coun-
try, that he will not come right away,
and the real reason will not be known
until the Sonoma, the boat on which
Darcy was to have sailed, reaches this
country.
81 have just received cable from
Darcy" writes Kearns, "that it is i'm
possible for him to leave the country
at this time. He was to have sailed
on the Sonoma on June 81, but it was
probably the military conditions,
which hold all Australians between
the ages OF l8 and As, from leaving
their country.
darcy first cabled me that he could
arrange to get away. and so ] fixed
! it up with Harry Pollok, the manager
Of the Washington Park Shooting
club Of Brooklyn, TO get the great
| fighter here to meet Jack Dillon.
Tickets were sent the australian. But
| will not know the full particulars
until the Sonoma gets in"

ERRORS RESULT IN
BRANDEIS DEFEAT
Eight Glaring Misplays Give
Union Giants Victory Over
Omaha Semi Pros,
RHODE HURLs GOOD GAME

Eight glaring errors tells the tale
of the initial home defeat Of the Bran
deis Stores nine this season, at the
hands of the Union Giants at Rourke
park yesterday. Score, 6 to 3.
The Brandeis misplays were di-
rectly responsible for every run scored
by the colored men while Rhode was
toiling on the slab. The Giants were
also guilty of few faux pass, but
were fortunate in having them orcur
when there was little danger.
Rhode pitched a good enough game
to win any battle, permitting but six
scattered hits and did not isshe
pass. He uncorked couple of wild
pitches, however, that resulted in
runs. His opponent, "Slick Sam"
Simpson held the Brandeis in check
with the exception of the seven, when
wallops by Novitsky, Lawler and
Sutej intermingled with pair of mis-
cues resulted in three runs for the
local semi-pros.
Olson Goes In.
The Giants manufactured two runs
in the third on one hit and counted
two more in the sixth without the aid
of safe hit. Olson relieved Rhode
in the seventh and yielded one run.
The Union Giants who posses the
strongest colored aggregation in the
country, will meet the Brandeis in a
twin bill this afternoon, first game
to be called at 2 p. m. Score:
BRANDEIS. UNION GIANTS.

FULTON SAYS THE
TITLE NOW is HIS
heavyweight Belt Claimed by
Minnesota Giant Because
Willard Won't Meet Him.
LOOKS LIKE PRESS WORK

New York, July 22.-Why does
Fred Fulton claim the heavyweight
titles he asks in the opening Of a cir
cuiar letter, and then answers his
own question in his own way. The
real answer probably is that scheme
Is under way to stall off adverse criti-
cism OF the one-sided affair which is
to be pulled off at the close Of the
circus season.
As the matter stands, no one ex-
cept the two fighters and their back
ers wants this match, which looks to
be no more promising now than il did
last year at New Orleans. Something
must be done to pull the wool over
the eyes Of the public or the match
will be laughed out Of existence again
as il was last spring and this is it.
II Fulton were in earnest and really
believes that he had a chance Of
gaining something more than a fat
losers end, he would spend the sum-
mer months disposing Of some Of the
live contenders, so that when Viii
lard's hands are free in the fall he
would be in position to demand the
match as his right. But nothing is
more clear than that Fulton has no
idea OF attacking a good man. Al
though there are at least four heavy
weights whose records are by long
odds better than Fulton's none Of
them Is thought to be fair match
for the champion, so it is hard to see
where he comes in.
According to Fulton, Harry Sher-
man, the Minneapolis promoter, Of
fered q purse Of $4,000 for the bout,
OF this sum Fulton would have re-
eeived one-third, which explains his
desire to enter the ring with the
champion. One-third Of $4,000 is
more money than Fulton is likely to
earn in year boxing setups OF tht
type OF those who adorn his record
Besides, Willard might sprain his an.
kle or break an arm during the bout
and be compelled to forfeit the title.

WELSH IS IN BAD
IN GOTHAM AGAIN
Lightweight Champ Matches
Himself With Tommy Muir.
phy-Broadway Roars.
IT IS GOOD ADVERTISING

New York, July 29.-Freddie Welsh
is becoming more shameless every
day. His latest offense was to match
himself with that old relic of the ring
who flourished when Terry McGovern
still was fighting in good form, Tom
my Murphy. This bears out the
opinion that Welsh deliberately goes
out of his way to look for roasts.
Adverse criticism is the only kind
OF advertising Welsh can hope for,
so the more he roasted the better
he is pleased. The only thing he
fears is that he will be forgotten and
not receive any mention whatever.
Welsh is not the only fighter who
finds it profitable to be unpopular,
but he is the only genuine champion
who has been forced to descend to
such methods. Al Mccoy, while not
a regular champion, makes capital
out of his ludicrous attempts to act
like one, the fans always turning out
in the hope of seeing the pretender
flattened for the full count.
Welsh probably has no idea of 60
ing through with the Murphy affair.
He knows very we'll it would not draw
enough to pay for the preliminary
bouts.
Welsh's object may be to stir up
interest in another local bout with
Benny Leonard. Judging by the
press stuff that has been sent out
from the headquarters of late the way
is being paved for another no-decision
affair. There is no doubt that Welsh
tears Leonard as an opponent in
decision bout, but there seems to be
no particular reason why he should
advertise the fate unless it is to in
crease the receipts when they meet at
Washington park in the near future.
Mystery Around Bout.
There was a great deal of mystery
connected with the proposed match
between these men which was sched-
uled few weeks ago. When Leon
ard tried to call it off on the ground
that he was matched with Johnny
Dundee, Welsh's manager appeared
before the boxing commission and
obtained ruling in his favor. Yet
Welsh evidently had no idea of fight
ing, for he never did days training
and was in such poor shape that he
probably would have been knocked
out if he had gone on.
1t was also clear that the bout
would have been a financial failure,
because it was billed for the same
week as the Leonard-Dundee match
at the Madison Square Garden. The
club continued to advertise the bout
right up to the day of the Dundee
affair, and then Immediately lost in
| terest and let the matter drop. 1t
looked as though some one was vent
ing his spite against the Garden club.
After the Dundee bout Leonard's
manager tried to force Welsh to go
through with his agreement, but this
time the boxing solons were looking
out the window and iiLson received
no encouragement. 1t was remark
able reversal of form and no explana-
ton has as yet been offered to clear
up the mystery as to what was actual
ly going on under the surface.

OLD MAN WAGNER
STILL HOLDS ON
Veteran Honus, In Forty third
Year, Continues to Keep Up
With Major League Pace.
REAL BASE BALL WONDER

New York, July 29.-Wagner, in his
forty-third year and twentieth in uni
form, betokens no going back or slip
of the veteran to date. He still has
an eye for the ball, evidenced by his
improved stickwork in 1915, when he
batted .276 and gained twenty points
over 1914. His record, when he
batted 800 or over for seventeen con-
secutive years, was surpassed only by
Captain Anson, and big part of that
hitting was not in the National
league.
Six other great hitters trailed Wag-
ner in consecutive batting. They are
Dan Brouthers, Willie Keller, Hugh
Duffy, Jessie Burkett and Ty Cobb.
Wagner's sensational fielding has
brought. fans into frenzies. The
Dutchman covers ground wonder
fully.
Business Manager Shettsline of the
Phillies told of play by Wagner on
the Phillies' grounds and calls it the
greatest he ever saw. One man was
out and the Phils run behind. With
Magee on, Honus played for the
plate. Lobert hit fly twenty feet
behind second. Wagner scooted
back; he couldn't turn and the ball
arched itself in front OF him. But he
ran with the ball that he could not
see. The great base ball instinct that
directs his every move took him to
the spot and he stretched out his
hand. The ball fell in his grasp and
he turned a complete somersault, but
held the ball. Magee was twenty
feet down the line, but seeing Wag-
ner's arm poised for throw, he re-
treated and scampered back to third,
for the Dutchman's throw was as true
as die. The ball travelled on a line
and went straight to the plate in Glib
bys mitt. He threw from a sitting
posture and the catch was made
blindly.
A. Chief Meyers Tale.
Chief Meyers relates thrilling
play in New York in 1911. Devin
was on second, Meyers up and new
white ball in play. Meyers streaked
one like lightning past third. Scoot.
| ing in long strides, Honus dived.
smothered the ball in his glove and
threw it back-handed and blindly
square in Byrne's glove. Devlin slid
into the ball.
Most dazzling fielding stunt in the
games history, and therell never bs
another Wagner" said Meyers.
A lot of amusement grew out OF the
story that Matty watches the feet oi
Honus. when he pitches. Honus wa:
cartooned in many amusing batting
postures. They had his big. brogan:
concealed in wash boilers, buckets
paper bags, burlap bags and every
known creation. As Honus went te
bat the crowd yelled, "Matty, watcf
his feet"
Honus wiggled his left heel anus
ingly at the crowd and $4,000 Gotham
game lovers roared with laughter
Matty got Honus in a hole. The bal
shot like a cannon ball and banged
sign in deep left, three feet from thu
top Of the fence. The ball came neal
going into Eighth avenue, and this
would have made worlds record, a:
lit never had been done.
