GIBBONS RESTS CHIP. St. Paul Phantom Gives Penn Boxer & Lesson in Boxing Art.

Youngstown, Ohio. July 5.-Mike Gibbons of St. Paul outpointed George Chip of Newcastle, Pa, in a twelve round bout at Wright Field yester- day. Gibbons was master of the situation throughout and was never in danger
 Chip bored in from the opening gong to the last in an effort to land one of his powerful swings, but the St. Paul man was so elusive that the Pennsylvania slugger never did land with effect.
 After every lunge by Chip, which Gibbons neatly avoided, the latter stepped in before Chip could regain his balance and peppered him in the face with cutting jabs. Chips lips were cut and his eyes puffed at the close, while the St. Paul expert did not show mark.
 The grounds where the bout took place were crowded with people.
 Gibbons was a to l favorite over his opponent at ringtime, and the judgment of the fans was sustained by the events of the contest.

FACULTY LOSES CONTROL.
Athletics at Penn to Be Governed by
 Student Association and Trustees.

Philadelphia, July 5.-The govern ment of athletics at the University of Pennsylvania has passed out of the hands of the faculty. Hereafter the control of sports will be distributed among the athletic association, the board of trustees and the faculty, with the trustees having as much power in actual vote as the comb bined number of the undergraduate repre- sentatives of the athletic association and the teacher. The new body will be known as the University Council of Athletics.
 This action was announced yester- day by the board of directors of the athletic association. The new ar rangement will go into effect as soon as members of the council are selected which probably will be in the fall.

Col. William Cornwallis West was Ldrd Lieutenant of Denbigshire since 1872 and honorary colonel of the Fourth Battalion of Royal Welsh Flu silliers. He was one of the biggest land owners in England. He married in 1872 the eldest daughter of the Rev. Frederick Fitzpatrick and Lady Olivia, who was a daughter of the second Marquis of Headfort.
 Mrs. William Cornwallis West be- came involved in an army scandal in January of this year. She was se- verelv scored for her interest nd sub sequent antagonism of a young Irish lieutenant. The officer was promoted and then punished, largely through her influence. Field Marshal Niscount French who was named in the report of the court Of inquiry, was criticized while Lieutenant-Colonel Delme Rad cliffe was removed from command.
 Colonel CornwGll His West was elected Member of Parliament for West Cheshire in the Liberal interest and joined the Liberal-Unionist Party when MT. Gladstone advocated his famous Home Rule bill: He repre- sented the West Division of Denbig shire from 1885 to 1892 and after wards became a Conservative.
 He was for many years prominent in society, and retired at the time of the army scandal of last January, which involved his wife.
 He owned about 10000 acres Of land, chiefly in North Wales. His London house was 55 Jermyn Street, and he was member of Brooke's, windham. United Empire and Hur- lingnam Clubs.

BEZDEK TO LEAD PIRATES.
Barney Dreyfuss Surprises Baseball Public in His Selection of New Manag

Pittsburgh, Pa., July 5.-Barney Dreyfuss and the Pittsburgh Pirates slipped over a long shot on the base ball public when the announcement was made last night that Hugo Bez- dek had been selected to succeed Jimmy Callahan as manager of the Pirates. Bezdek really succeeds Hans Wagner. Wagner was provisional manager for a few days, and then rather reluctantly agreed to take the job permanently. However, he re- canted early on his decision and the appointment of Bezdek followed.
 In naming Bezdek for the job, President Dreyfuss has sprung an even bigger surprise than Charley Com1s- key did when he planted Clarence Rowland on the job as leader of the Chicago White Sox. At any rate Dreyfuss has strayed further from the popular field of managerial material than the Old Roman did. Bezdek is assuming charge of the Pirates with possibly scanter qualifications, judging from his past experience, than any other pilot has in the big leagues for many a day.

MULFORD'S WIN PROTESTED.
Manager of Hames-Thomas Team
 Claims Victory for His Driver.

Omaha, Neb., July 5.-Ralph Null ford won yesterdays 15O mile auto mo bile race, and maintained an aver age speed of 101 miles an hour, de- spite two stops made necessary by tire trouble. Mulford's time was 1:28:53. Joe Thomas was second Walter Haines third, and Tommy Milton fourth. Eddie Hearne, Dave Lewis, Andy Burk and Billy Taylor finished in the order named.
 Manager J. A. Martin of the Haines- Thomas team will file a protest with the American Automobile association, claiming the official timers were in error in declaring Mulford the win ner. Haines, in Martins opinion, won the race, Mulford being second.

 Although the league faced unprece- dented weather conditions early in the season President Tearney said that subscriptions of the Liberty Loan and the Red Cross and the general lack of interest in the game owing to the war contributed largely to the leagues failure.
