FiStic History

Just a quarter of a century ago to- day, July 23, 1893, Kid Mccoy and Ike Boone fought a 22-round draw at Nuncie, Ind. The Hoosier lad, who became one of the cleverest boxers in ring history, was then only a weIter- weight, while his opponent weighed over 1C5 pounds. Although outweighed by over 20 pounds. and then compar- Rtive!y a novice with the gloves, Mo Coy had a good lead when the police threatened to butt in and the referee stopped the mill and called it a draw. This and similar victories spread the : Hoosier's reputation abroad, and a little later he invader the East, de- ! feating Joe Burke at Fall River, Jim 6cully at New Bedford. and other good New Englanders. Within a year the Kid fought a draw with Jim Ba- ron, the Australian. at Minneapolis iend de:eated another famous Austra- iaian, Shadow Maber, at Memphis, get ;ting S1,0O0 for each boA,t, and was numbered among the top-notchers.
 1960---Dave Sullivan knocked out Nuke Burke in the fourth round al Buffalo

AMERICANLEAGUE AWAITS. FINAL
 U. s. ORDER
Club Owners Decide to Wait Until Definite Decision
 Comes From Capitol

Cleveland, July 2S-At a meeting of American League club owners to take action on Secretary of War Bakers decision that baseball is non- essential, definite action was postpon- ed yesterday pending a meeting of President Johnson and War Depart ment officials on the work or fight" regulations as they apply to profes- sional baseball players.
 The meeting. probably will take place "wednesday. Pending final ac- tion, the American League teams will play out their scheduled games.
 It is understood that the, two. other members of the National Commis- sion, August Hermann and John K. Tener, will join Johnson in present ing to War Department officials res olutions for the modification of the new regulations. =.
 An optimistic feeling prevailed among American League Club owners last night. All the American League clubs were represented yesterday. Hermann was here to confer with Johnson and left for Pittsburg last R.ght to attend the meeting of Ma tional League owners In that city to- day. Johnson left for Washington.
 President James c. Dunn of the Cleveland American League club, who on Saturday announced that the local park would be closed after Sunday double header. after yesterdays meet ing said the Cleveland club will play it's scheduled game here on next i Tuesday provided the status of the work or fight order as applicable to professional ball players. is defi- nitely settled by, that time.
 Otherswise, he said, the Cleveland team will not play it's game with New York on that day. The games sched- uled for Cleveland at Philadelphia to- day and tomorrow have been advanc- ed and previously played, leaving the Cleveland team idle until Thursday.

LEONARD VICTOR
 IN FIVE ROUNDS
Scores Knockout Over Young Gradwell In Sched- uled Eight Round Bout at Jersey City.

New York, July 23-For five rounds last night at the Armory A. A. of Jer- sey City, Benny Leonard, worlds lightweight champion, played with Young Willie Gradwell of Newark. Then when the titleholder thought went into his opponent and polished him off as he has done mAny others who questioned his right to wear the lightweight boxing crown.
 Leonard's victory was not a decisive knockout, but it amounted to the same thing. The titleholder had f1oored his opponent twice with vicious right and left hand swings to face and body when Referee Patsy Kline, former boxer, stopped the proceed ings. This official action did not meet with the approval of Gradwelrs handlers, but it was popular with the crowd.
 It was evident almost from the mo- ment that the boxers squared off that the Newark lad was hopelessly out classed and it was only a question ot time when the champion would finish Gradwell.
 In the opening round Leonard failed to exert himself, and Gradwell show ed admirably. The Newark lad, un. abashed by his opponents reputation led wHh we'll directed jabs, and land ed with most of them, while Leonard was missing his attempted returns | These were mostly to the stomach and throughout the contest Leonard found it difficult to land cleanly to the | body. What blows he did send home in this direction weakened Gradwei noticeably: From the second round l to the finish Leonard opened up al l top speed, and just simply played 1 with the Newark lad. Leonard weighed 136 pounds, and Gradwel 132 1-2 pounds.

TENNIS TOURNEY FOR SOLDIERS AT
 SEASIDE PARK
Men of Visiting Companies Entertained on Courts of
 the Y. M. c. A.

In connection with the service the Y. M. c. A. is endeavoring to render the members of Companies c, B, F and the medical department and camp at the Park a tennis tournament was started yesterday two members from each company composing a team to try for the championship of the camp. It developed there were some very fine players among the men and the matches so far have been very good. Yesterday the teams which represent ed Company c and the medical de- partment fought their battle which was in many ways very close and evenly balanced but eventually Com pany was able to immerge the vic tor.
 Company c was represented by Sergeant Beals and Private Weine- man, both of whom as indicated by their victory turned out to be splen- did tennis players. Sergeant Beals played Private Renaut of the medcal department while Private Weineman was opposed to Capt. Albright of the medcaI department. Sergeant Field was able to handle Private Renaut in L"O SOIo dtl1Ou6Al IlACy "CI . evenly balanced. The first set went to 7-5, and the secon one to 62, both falling to Sergeant Beals.
 | A tussle royal was the result of the | meeting of Capt. Albright and Private Weineman. Capt. Albright took the | first set at 6-1 but his wiry and skill | full opponent, Private Weineman took | the next one at 63. However, Capt | Albright was able to produce a come- | back and won the last set in the match at 6-4 but it was very pretty sight from beginning to end.
 Company c and the medical de- partment represented by the men who
 played singles then went into a | doubles match which resulted ir Company c again emerging victors at 6-3, 7-5. It is needless to say that the score of both sets indicates that it was no one-sided battle, and 1t was very pretty tennis all the way through. When one witnessed the kind of tennis these men were able to play without practice they realized that if they had had a little prelimin- 1 ary chance to wield the racket they
 would probably make most of the
 players in Bridgeport a very close
 battle even if they were not to wir from the best.

SPORTS OF GREAT VALUE
 TO SOLDIERS

The value of athletics as a military force in developing our soldiers into two-f1sted, aggressive fighting men has been universally attested by com- manding officers throughout the coun- try in statements made to the War Departments Commission on Training Camp Activities, which has charge of the military activities in the train ng camps
 Major Gen. Charles H. Muir, com- manding officer, 18th Division, Camp Hancock, Georgia, says:
 Athletics as carried on at this camp have had very good effect ir developing the fighting efficiency o1 the soldiers by getting them in good physical shape and keeping them con- tented"
 Major Gen. A. P. Blockson, 34tt Division, Camp Cody, N. M., says:
 Athletics develop initiative, agility co-ordinaton, aggressiveness and en- durance. Added to this they teact quick, accurate thinking under
 Brig. Gen. W. H. Sage, 3sth Dl- VlSlOu, SdIHp S1I0lpyg NnlSS.I odSSs
 "In my mind the imporance ot athletics in the army is second only in importance to drills and military instruction"
 Col. M. B. Stewart, Chief of Staff 18th Division, Camp Devens, Mass. says:
 Physical fitness is the foundation upon which fighting efficiency is built and anything that contributes to the upbuilding of the soldiers physique il in a corresponding degree contribut. ing to his fighting efficiency" Brig. Gen. Frank L. Vim, S9tt Division, Camp Funston, Kansas says:
 Athletics increase the endurance | and seIf-confldence of the man, and i affords a form of relaxation anG recreation which is so much needed by the fighting men during theil periods of inactivity. Athletics has z place in the training of a fighting mar clearly as important as skill at arms All phases of training must go hand | in hand"

Secretary Baker and Gener-
 al Crowder See Major
 League Men and Promise to Reconsider and Issue a Final Decision Tomorrow.

Washington, July 23-A conference of major league baseball officials yes terday with Gen. Crowder led to the expectation that some action may be taken which will permit baseball. players to stay with, their teams for a few weeks. at least instead of leaving at once and requiring all games to be cancelled.
 After seeing the baseball men Gen. Crowder talked with Secretary Baker last night and a statement from Mir Baker on the baseball situation is now promised for tomorrow. Ru- mors that Mir. Baker would permit the players to finish out the season were afoat last night A statement which will make it clear that the To- cal boards have the right to act es they see fit in the. matter of allowing those baseball players within their jurisdiction to continue playing for a few weeks, if not longer, is the least that may be expected.
 The baseball men complained that the players had understood the order to mean that they must leave their clubs at once, and many of them were doing so. They wanted the War De- partment to make it plain that it was up to each individual draft board to decide for itself how long a player should continue.
 If this were understood, they thought some of the players would remain with their teams for short while at least, pending action by their boards. It was apparent that the club owners did not want to see the games cease immediately and hoped for a ruling that would stop instant breaking up of the teams. .
 Harry M. Hampstead, president of the New York National League club, and President J. K. Tener of the Ma tional League, called on Gen. Crowder with Senator New, and later Garry Hermann appeared with Representa- tive Nicholas ,Longworth. Previous ly some of the baseball men had call ed on$ Secretary Baker and been re- ferredsby him to Gen. Crowder.

Tanks Play 15 inning
 Tie With Browns A
Game Lasts Nearly Four Hours When Called On Account of Darkness Yankees Use Eighteen Men.

New York, July 23-The Yankees and Browns spent three hours and forty minutes at the non essential industry of baseball yesterday and wasted the time entirely, as at the end the non-productiveness amount ed to nothing more than to 4 tie of fifteen innings length. As if in proof that the Tanks are still en- cumbered with a goodly supply of players, Miller Huggins sent eigh- teen men into the game at one time or another. Four of these were pitchers and three catchers. Paddy ;O'Connor being called upon to receive the shoots of Ray Heating after Ward had carried a run around the dia mond in lieu of Truck Hannah.
 The Tanks tied up the pastime in the ninth inning, just when it ap- peared that the Browns were certain winners. After that spasm of the ninth Ray Heating and Byron Houck were the opposing pitchers, land they stood the attack of the bats men with such sterling effect that not another run was carried around,
 
 chance to drive in a run and win the game, but failed each time.
 Herbert Thormahlen started pro- ceedings for the Yankees, but was so affected by the heat he had to retire in the seventh inning. Joe Finneran succeeded Thormah1en and gave way to George Mog-idge when trouble threatened. Mogridge was set aside to let Frank Gilhooley produce the single which tied the score in the ninth, and then Heating finished the day. Bill Wright pitched half the game for the Browns and Houck fin 4she
 Waffle Pipp was among the miss ing, being the only Yankee pla ved not on hand. He left for his >nome to take up his duties in the navy.
 No Umpire on Hand
 When 1t was time for the game to start, the umpires Billy Evans and George Hildebrand were also missing They either melted on the way to Harlem or had sta rted for the Steel League. After looking over the pop ulace of about 2,0C0 lonesome souls Mike Donlin and Bits BierhaIter were NhAOoct IO LdhS lHelT lives Tn tle1T hands The folks knew Mike, but who in thunder was Bits, and where did he get that name?
 Secret Service Scouts learned that Bterhalter used to umpire in the wild and woolly West in the American Association, and now holds the posi-. ton of official bone-setter for the Browns.
 That great many people still take what Ban Johnson says seriously wa. shown by the smallest crowd of the season. Johnson's statement that al the parks would close yesterday prob ably kept the crowd away
 The pinch umpires got more atten tion than the players. Bierhalte1 kept tally of the balls and strikes or his fingers. Bierhalter wore shir guards and stern expression.
 There was plenty of heat around the kind of heat Dante knew so mucl about. It was so hot that Ping Bo dies uniform was too big for hin after the game. The only suggestion of a breeze was when Mike Donlil made decision. The afternoon wa a5ust like the name of the St. I,oui first baseman, Sisler.

Local Fencers Hold
 Affair at New Haven

The "T" fencing master with six of his pupils, Leandre Strandt, Daniel Sharon, Edward Arthur, E. E. Taylor and Lincoln Weld, gave fencing ex- hibition at the New Haven Y. NJ. c. A. This together with their weekly social held at the Y. M. c. A. made the affair something out of the ordi- nary and large crowd followed the bouts with enthusiasm.
 Several members of the New Haven Y. M. c. A. made inquiries regarding the possibility of having Prof. Gras- son open a fencing class. It is hard to tell If this will be considered as the local "" instructor already has more than he can handle.
 1 A fencing class will be started. D. B. Taylor, who is one of Prof. Gras- sons pupils, will take care of the teaching and Grasson will be the ad- visor of the New Haven fencing club. | Edward Arthur has promised to as- sist B. E. Taylor of New Haven in the teaching and the formation of the club. No doubt New Haven will not Joe long in having a large club.
