CREB OUTPOINTS
 CLAY TURNER
Indian Takes First Round But Pittsburger Lands All
 But Knockout in Rest of Bout.

Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh mid dleweight, last night added Clay Turn er said to be the descendant of a Sioux chief, to his list of victims. The combat was waged at the Jersey City baseball grounds and was spirited, peppery affair. Turner started with eclat and outpointed Greb thoroughly in the opening round using straight left to the face and a right uppercut with good effect.
 That was as far as the Indian got in the way of victory. Beginning with the second round, Greb, exerting all his stamina and aggressiveness, wore Turner down to a whisper and had him very tired at the close.
 Greb used left swing to the body that weakened Turner, and the Pitts burger also thumped Turner on the jaw with left and right in a way that discouraged the Siouv.
 Greb marred his victory by lot of unnecessary clinching and his judg- ment of distance was erroneous.
 In the semi-fnal Willie Kohler of New York won easily from Hugh Brady of Hoboken. Brady was in distress at the close of the battle.

FiStic History

The tenth of August, 1743, just 175 years ago today, is one of the most important dates in the history of box ing. Indeed, it might almost be called the birthday of the boxing game, for 1t was then that a company of pugi- lists and gentlemen packers of the sport met at Broughton's amphithea- tre in London and formally agreed to abide by a set of rules which had been drawn up by Jack Broughton, the champion. This was the first code to govern f1stic combats, and it remained in force for nearly a century, when it was succeeded by the London prize ring rules, which in turn gave way little over half century ago to the Marqusi of Queensberry rules.
 The early battles between James Figgs, Ned Sutton, George Taylor, George Stephenson, Prince Boswell and other, pioneer "bruisers' were knock down -and-drag g-out affairs. In | 1741 George Stephenson died within a month after his championship bat tie with Broughton, and a little later ! Gypsy Prince" Boswell disgraced the ring by kicking his opponent | George Taylor, when. the latter was down. Taylor recovered from the booting and whipped the Gypsy, but the ferocious affair left such a bad i taste in the mouths of the boxing en- thusiasts that the sport seemed doom. | ed. It was then that Broughtor | brought forward his rules, by whict he hoped to eliminate the brutal fea- lures, and save the game.
 The first prize ring code declared that mo person Is to hit his adversary when he is down, or seize him by the ham, brooches, or any part below the waist; a man on his knees to be reck. oned down. that "a square yard bt chalked in the middle of the stage and every set-to after a fall, eacf second is to bring his man to the sidt of the square. and till they are fairl,
 st-to at the lines, 1t shall not bt lawful for the one to strike the other if the second does not bring his mar to the side of the square within tht space of half a minute he shall b, deemed beaten man; that in ever, battle no person whatever shall b, upon the stage, except the principal
 and their seconds; the principal
 shall choose from among the gentle
 men present two umpires, who shal absolutely decide all disputes; in bis battles the winning man to have two
 thirds of the money given, which b,
 publicly divided upon the stage, not withstanding any private agreemen
 to the contrary"

Big Boxing Carnival
 Called Off in Chicago

Chicago, Aug. 10-The big boxing carnival promoted by the State Coun- cil of Defense for the benefit of the Salvation Army "doughnut" fund has been called off And thereby hangs a tale that is still involved in mystery. The big boxing stars are here and last night were a much disappointed bunch.
 The carnival was first arranged for Comiskey Park, but the city police opposed this plan because it would be a violation of the state law. There was g. fuss when the Council of De- fense said the park would be turned into a temporary army cantonment by uuartering troops there. Suddenly the plans were changed and Fort Sheridan was selected. This reserva- ton is under command of Major Gen. T. H. Barry of the Central De- partment. More friction ensued be- tween the commander and promoters.
 Then came the splash. Jess Will lard, Jack Dempsey, Ted Lewis, Benny Leonard. Charley White, Ed die McGoorty of the army, Johnnie Kilbane and a host of other good ones at the Great Lakes camp were down to show themselves. The public wanted to see three rounds between Willard and Dempsey, and both ap- | peared agreeable.
 | The Salvation Army people figure loss of s50,000. All boxers volun. teered and paid their own expenses.

Hardness Named
 Stakeholder for Races

Harry s. Hardness, sportsman and owner of the Sheepshead Bay Speed way, will be the official stakeholder for the International Sweepstakes, to be run at the sheepshead Bay Speed way week from this afternoon. The selection of Hardness was made last night by Ralph De Palma, Arthur Duray, Louis Chevrolet, Dario Resta, and Ralph Mulford, the five drivers who will compete in the speed carni- val.
 Hardness has been identified with the automobile racing game since it's inception, and has expended thou sands of dollars to bring the game to it's present high plane. He is an auto mobile racer himself, having attained a speed of 115 miles an hour. He also is adept in handling an airplane. His selection was unanimous, both by the drivers and the management.
 Conditions for the race-such as the number of heats, distances, and the division of the rich purse-will be ar ranged at a meeting of the drivers and the management this afternoon. The latter will also post S15,OO0, it's share of the $25,OOO purse, at the meeting, while the drivers will each put up S2,00O.
 De, Palma and Mulford are holding cut for a long race-at from 100 to 250 miles-while Duray and Resta insist on several sprint races, the winner to be determined by the point scoring system. Chevrolet is neutral as to the distance of the race, but de- mands that $15,O0O go to the winner | he says.

Committee Composing of Ebbets, Hampstead and Baker Claim His Leaving a Heavy Loss-No Sue .cessor Named at Present -Heydler to Conduct Af- fairs Until December Meeting.

New York, Aug. 10-The last chap ter in the career of John kinley Tener as a baseball executive was written yesterday when a group of club owners, acting as a committee for the National League, formally adopted the former Pennsylvania governors resignation as president Of the league. MT. Tener rendered his farewell last Tuesday.
 The committee meeting called to accept MT. Tener's resignation, was attended by Presidents Harry N, Hefnpstead of New York, Charles H. Ebbets of Brooklyn and William F. Baker of Philadelphia. In a letter accepting the resignation the commit tee wished Tener success in his new venture, talked of the heavy loss sus- tained by the National League, but made it plain that they did not think that MT. Tener could do justice to both of the jobs he had been holding since the beginning of the year.
 Howevr, the local club owners com pletely ignored the reason MT. Tener gave as the motive actuating his res- ignation. It will be recalled that Tener spoke of his inability to con- tinue representing the National League on the National Commission because of the reason, well known to them (the Scott Perry case), and wanted to get out so as to give the league time to choose a successor who could present the league on the com mission if he saw fit. Tener's letter of resignation treated entirely with this American League controversy, but no mention of 1t was made in the letter of acceptance signed by Hemp stead, Ebbets and Baker, which fol- lows:
 Tn compliance with your letter of Aug. 6, submitted to all National League club presidents, this commit tee has been authorized to accept your Resignation to take effect at once.
 ''In taking this action we feel that we have sustained a heavy loss, and in accepting your resignation we wish tC assure you of our highest esteem and give you our very best wishes in your new field of endeavor.
 "We realized, as you did, that il was impossible for you to successfully conduct both of these large enter prises, as their character is so vastly different and requires so much de tail"
 The comittee also announced tha the leagues affairs will be conducted by Secretary John A. Heydler unti the annual meeting of the league 1T December. Heydler will have com plete authority, and will represent the National League as member of tht National Commission during thu worlds series as he did in 1909. H. then was serving as president prt tenn. of the league, following the deatl of Harry Pulllam.
