Receipts From Big
 Bout Less Than S18,OOO

Jack Curley and his associates in the Fulton-Dempsey venture lost about $5,000. The boxers were guar anteed $s,oo0 each-and they got no more than that sum. The receipts as given out yesterday by Lester Bur dick, secretary of the New Jersey Boxing Commission, were s17,654.50, out of which the state collected 10 per cent. The government prof1ted to a similar extent by the war tax.
 The number of tickets sold at the various prices were as follows: At $2, 1,130; at $3, 1,77s; at s5, 1,13s; at $7.50, 1s3; at $1O. 299. It will be seen that the men who had been counted on by Curley to make the fight a financial success through their purchasing the higher priced seats did not find the bout attractive enough to lure them from their seashore and mountain retreats of a Saturday af- ternoon. Curley is not the only dis appointed individual. Five others were in the syndicate which ran the show, and let it be said there is a wailing and gnashing of teeth in Jer- sey. They wish now that the New York draft board had sent Fulton to Helgoland or some other place when he could not have reached the Harri- son ball park in a month of Sun days.

FAVORITES LOSE AT
 EMPIRE CITY TRACK

It was Red Cross Day at the Em-- pire City track yesterday, and the whole of the gate recenpts went to enrich the fund for taking care of the wounded soldiers. The Red Cross, by the way, was not the only beneficiary from a good afternoons sport, as for the second time within a week every favorite was beaten, and the public money was handed over to the players of odds with great regularity.
 F. D. Weir's Hendrie, carrying top weight of 126 pounds, was considered the good thing for the Red Cross Handicap, but, after breaking with the others, he refused to go on until the rest of the field had obtained a good lead. Molesworth, who had the mount on the favorite, persevered with him after this, but the stern chase was hopeless, and he finished absolutely last. The lightly weighted Rhine Maiden made the pace to the brought up the Cleveland Stables Dorcas. The tussle was a short one, for Dorcas was full of running, and at the HnlSn was unQef wraps to Win Dy a length and half. Fittergold was third, a length further back.
 Though only four started for the Melrose Selling Stakes at a mile and a sixteenth. it produced a good con- test with the Nevada Stables Slippery Elm in command nearly all the way. The Cleveland Stable was trying for a double, with Whimsy as the candi- date. Byrne, who had the mount started his run a little too late, and though Whimsy made up a lot of ground in the. stretch, he just failed to reach Slippery Elm.
 The biggest surpr1se of the day came in the fifth race, at about six furlongs, in which Manganese was a strong favorite. R. F. Carman's Blazeaway, a brilliant looking son of Waterboy, followed the hot pace set by Langden, and came away in the stretch to win by a length and a half. Odds of. 1 5 to 1 were obtainable against the winner.

BRETON STOPS
 RYAN IN FOURTH
Referee Stops Bout to Save Latter From Knockout by
 Former Champion.

Willie Ryan of New Brunswick, N. J., also of the United States Navy, desiring to ascertain his exact status in the welter division, entered the ring of the Armory A. A., Jersey City, last night with Jack Britton, former champion of his class. Ten minutes after the bout started Ryan was be- ing assisted to his corner by the ref cree, and doubtless was convinced he never would become the champion of the wetlers.
 Ryan was a willing and cumulative youth, but before the crafty, skilful Britton he was like a mouse in the claws of a cat.
 Ryan rushed and swung with both hands vigorously, but for the most part hit only the empty air. Before the Jerseyman could regain his equil- ibrium each time Britton's gloved fists would play a tattoo on the face and body of the surprised New Bruns- wicker.
 After feeling his man out for a cou- pie of rounds Britton cut loose in the third and with a series of heavy thumps to the jaw had Ryan gToggy.
 Ryan was fresh when he emerged for the fourth round and he tore in at Britton with great fury. Britton, the master boxer, countered his man hard on the jaw and soon had him reeling about the ring. It was evident the Jerseyite had no chance and the referee stopped the encounter and sent Ryan to his corner.
 The bout between Joe Mooney of the West Side and Johnny Drummie of Jersey City was a slashing contest from the first gong to the last. Drum mic had the better of the first five rounds and earned the decision on points, but Mooney came like a tor nado in the last three rounds and had Drummie in distress at the close of the eighth.
 The bout between Jack Sharkey of the West Side and Harvey Crosby of Bayonne was. brought to sudden stop in the first round when Crosby unintentionally delivered a low blow that completely disabled Sharkey. The West Slider had to be carried to his dressing room. As Crosby is an emil
 nently fair boxer he was absolved of all intent to injure his opponent.

FiSlic History

On this date in 1889 Billy Murphy and Frank Murphy fought a 27-round draw at San Francisco. This battle of the Murphys was pulled off at the California A. C., which hung up a $2,50O purse, to be divided $2,00O to the winner and $500 to the loser The big crowds saw a gruelling contest, but after 27 rounds both Murphys were to exhausted to continue, and 1t was called a draw and the money was split between them. Frank Mur- phy hailed from Birmingham, Eng land, and was the British feather weight champion, while Billy had come over a short time before from Australia. Shortly before meeting Billy, Frank had fought Ike Weir, the featherweight champion, an S0-round draw in an Indiana town. The Brit ish Murphy was generally considered the besth man of his weight at that period, but it was Billy Murphy who got chance to fight Weir for the title a few months later. Australian Bill annexed the honor, but he did not long retain it. Although never worlds champion, Frank Murphy Is entitled to rank among the best of the featherweights.

Toney Reports to Giants

Fred Toney, the Cincinnati pitcher recently purchased by the Giants, who refused to come to New York unless he received part of the purchase money, has changed his mind. and reported at the Polo Grounds yester- day. Jay Kirke and Peter Compton. purchased from the Louisville club of the American Association, also re- ported to Manager McGraw yester- day.
 To make room for these players the Giants will have to release some of their excess talent, and the first to go i was Waite Hoyt, who was released to 1 the Newark club.
 The new International League has made peace with the major leagues over the use of the Federal League Prk at Harrison for Sunday games. The compromise provides that the International League clubs will play one game there each Sunday and the second game of the double-header will be played by the major league clubs. The Giants and the Cubs will start the new arrangement at Harrison on Sunday.

TANKS LOSE ONCE MORE TO TIGERS
Pipp Returns to New York Lineup But Detroit
 Captures Pastime.

Detroit, July 3o-The Yankees still are gunning for their first victory in the West on this trip and are rapidly dropping out of sight in the pennant scramble. Even the fact that the team was re-enforced by Waffle Pipp, the hard hitting first baseman, could not put it back on it's winning stride, and the Cobbless Tigers won by a score of 3 to 2.
 Georgie Dauss played on important part in the defeat of the New Workers. Not only did he pitch a clever game but he made a lot of noise with his little bat. In the fourth inning De- troit scored two runs. These were enough to win. They were construct ed around Dauss' triple, which drove in one run, while he scored himself Dauss made another hit later in the game.
 George Mogridge who is with the Yankees at intervals, really pitched an able game for New York, but what hitting the Tigers did against the long left handler they did when it counted. Three of the six hits made off Mog- ridge came in the fourth, and two of these were triples.
 The Yankees got eight hits off Dauss and they punched them well enough to score two runs, which was not quite enough.
 Pipp is only back with the team temporarily. He does not report to the naval aviation section until later in the week, so he came down from his home in Grand Rapids to play the Detroit series. Wally wanted to get a few farewell licks at the ball before starting on his aviation duties.
 Both teams picked up a run in the first inning. Lamar opened for the Yankees by lining a single to left centre and advanced to second while Coffey tossed out Caldwell. Coffey backed into short right for Bakers S fly, and when Pratt bounced single off Bush's shins Lamar scored. Pratt Oscar Stannage.
 Detroit quickly tied it up. This was due to huff by Lamar and a thoughtless catch by Caldwell. Jones singled to left with one out and reached second when Lamar muffed each's line drive. Kavanaugh then walked, filling the bases. Caldwell caught Harper's foul to right, which was unnecessary, and Jones scored after the catch, the other runners ad- vancing. Lamar then went to the score board for Walkers long drive The Tigers won in the fourth in- ming, when they scored twice. With one out Cocey beat out a scratch hit | to Baker and Stanage popped to Peck Cocey advanced on a wild pitch and scored when Dauss hit to the bleach CTS for a triple. Buch hit exactly the same spot for another three base hit Dauss scoring. Jones then lined tc Pratt.

"Yale Will Not Have Football" Declares Mack

While the intercollegiate football proposition lies dormant at the Big Three we get encouraging reports from Harvard and Princeton. At Yale there seems to be little light. Johnny Mack, the Eli trainer. does nSt think Yale will send out a formal varsity. eleven. He wants to make it plain that he speaks with no author ity but his own observations lead him to believe that Yale will not have the material for team. and that its men will be too busy with military work to indulge in systematic football work. Mack says that seven of the fresh- man eleven of last fall have enlisted.

American League Head De- clares MT. Baker "Order- ed" Baseball to Stop Sep tember 1st and Time is Needed for World Series Claims Plan is Under Consideration in National League.

A proposition from Ban B. Johnson, president of the American League, that the major leagues close their schedules on Aug. 20 and hold the Worlds Series immediately thereafter came as a bombsheIl to the New York baseball public last night. The John son bulletin, dated Chicago, said in part:
 Closing the season Aug. 20 would leave Il days in which to prepare for and play the Worlds Series and still obey Secretary Bakers order to dis band Sept. l. There has been talk of continuing to Sept. 1 or even the day following, which Is Labor Day, a legal holiday, but the American League executive is strongly opposed to this He is in favor of the Worlds Series, but believes it should be staged within the time limit placed by the Secretary of War for the suspension of the sport."-
 Secretary Baker has never issued any "order" to the baseball men to disband their leagues by Sept. 1.
 Secretary Baker has never named AAy CAIh6 llIIlL TUT lIIe SuSptHSlOh of the sport"
 Secretary Baker has simply de- creed that men in the draft age who are playing baseball shall engage in some essential occupation; and at the urgent request of the major league officials, MT. Johnson among them, he ruled last Friday that these men might have until Sept. before being liable to call from their draft boards. He explained that he did this so that the baseball business would not be disorganized and to give time for the , engaging of other players over and under the draft limit to take the places of the men ordered to essential occupations,
 To New York baseball men last night the Johnson bulletin looked like an attempt to place the blame for the stoppage of baseball on the shoulders of the Secretary of War, despite the fact that MT. Baker has never expressed in any of his decisions even wish that the game should not go on.
