CENTRAL LEAGUE DONE
UNTIL AFTER THE WAR

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Sept 10
. With Bill Essick's Grand Rapids team
the pennant winner, the Centrai
league has closed its 1917 season.
Altho one of the greatest races In,
circuit has ever seen developed during
the season, only one club of the league
made money and that team, Peoria,
was not in the league when the season
started. The other cities, including
South Bend, which was dropped for
Peoria. were heavy losers.
While there is bound to be talk OF
a revival in 1918, with a rearranged
circuit. it's almost a cinch the lesson
learned by the club owners this season
will not soon be forgotten. The war,
too, will have its effect on plans for
another year. At least five club own
ers have declared they are thru until
the great war is over.
Possible drafts by major league
teams may enable some Of the teams
to come close to breaking even on the
season. but not single player of the
league has been purchased outright
to date. Pitcher Wachtel of Muske-
gon, who was reported sold to Brook
lyn for s2,500, hasn't been sold after
all, and II now develops the Dodgers
do not want him.

SUNDAY BALL GAINING
FAVOR IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Magistrate
Patterson in Harlem court today dis
charged complaints against ten men
arrested at Olympic Field last Sun
day charged with violation of the
sabbath law by participating In a
baseball game.
In discharging the complaint
against the men the magistrate said
that the mere holding of n baseball
game on Sunday where the peace of
the neighborhood was not disturbed
and there was no evidence OF finan-
cial benefit to the players, managers
or owners did not constitute viola
ton of the law.
Magistrate Miller in the Jamaica
court also upheld Sunday baseball
playing when fifteen young men who
were arrested on July 22 were ar
raigned for hearing. They were
charged with violating the sabbath
law by playing game at Ridgewood.
The magistrate was one of the many
spectators at the game on that date.
ut is beyond my understanding"
said Magistrate Miller. why persons
are permitted to go to a moving pic
ture show, pay admission and be in
n place where the doors are kept
closed and there 10 poor ventilation
and why they are not allowed to see
a baseball game where they will be
out in the open and clear air and

went into the ring that he was fight
ing only for honor.
And he set himself to gain as much
horror as he possibly could. After
sparring about cautiously for few
seconds, he went after the champion
and what little mixing there was was
10 the credit Of the Denver lad. He
speeded up in the second round, win
ming the round by wider margin. In
the third Herman began to crowd on
more steam and finished the inning
on even terms During the fourth,
fifth. sixth and seventh the champion
was out in front.
The eighth was by far the most
ferocious round of the evening. Pur-
year started rushing the champion,
carrying him into corner and land

the challehger's blows and realizing
that the tide of battle threatened to
set in against him, Herman fought his
way out and during the last minute
of the round got even for the punish
ment his opponent had Just inflicted
upon him. Then he won the last two.

The main discussion after the bout
last night seemed to be in comparing
the relative showings made by Pur-

pion.
Puryear showed much more
strength than did Jackson, apparently
being as heavy as the champion and
capable of standing rougher usage. he
sent in harder blows and was able to
take better care Of himself In the
clinches. There was not the speed in
