CONNIE MACK DEFIANT
Manager of Athletics Determines to Retain Pitcher Perry, Awarded to Braves,

Braves,
 Cleveland, June 18.--The National and American leagues are in danger of another "basewall war; if Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, persists in this action be- gun yesterday to keep Scott Perry, he pitcher recently awarded the Bos- ton Braves by the National Commits sion.
 Mack obtained an injunction yes terday from Judge Margan, in the Common Pleas Court, restraining the Boston club from interference with Perry until the case shall have been heard, and he used the pitcher in q game against the Cleveland club yes terday afternoon.
 This action is the first blow at the rulings of the National Commission and practically puts the Athletics in contempt of baseball law.
 Tn the decision which awarded Perry to Boston, Messrs. Hermann and Tener. National league members voted for the majority report; Ban Johnson. president of the American league club. filed a dissenting opin- ion.

Track,
 George Smith the big black horse owned by John Sanford, which won the Kentucky Derby in 1916 came out of retirement yesterday afternoon at the Jamaica track and ran off with the Excelsior Handicap.

Further back eight other high class horses, including the mighty Cudgel and the great Spur. staggered home.
 George Smith sped over the one mile and a sixteenth course ill 1:45 2-5. Only once before was this time beaten. That was in 1913, when R. F. Carman's Meridian hung the rec ord of 1: A 3-5. Last year Foamer matched George Smith time.

 Tennis Championship.

Hartford, June 1S.-Walter Westl brook, the Detroit city champion, ia a dashing match of three straight se.sI took the finals of the New England tennis tournament singles on the clad courts of the Hartford Golf club yes terday afternoon. Middle-age and it1 slow steady game in the person od George Pike, of Springfield, the othe q finalist, went down to defeat before d Westbrook's $ youth, speed and hard smashing game. Pike's slow gam was made even slower by an unforl tunate injury to one of his feet which, made it impossible for him to use the, footwork he needed to meet the fasA placements of bis younger rival. West \ brook outclassed the Springfield playe Il decidedly, but it remains question: whether the steady game would havel worn down the Detroiter had Piks
 been able to get around better on> his
 feet.
 The sets went 6-3, 6-2, 6-S; Pike
 never leading except at the start of
 the third set, when Westbrook seemedl to tire from the fast driving game and, let up. He quickly rallied and took1 the. rest of the games for the set and

 two big cups of the tourney, as hsl also won the double with his partne CT j James, of Saratoga.

JOS. I. MULVIHL ILL Transferred to Baltimore?

According to Daniel, writing in the New York Sun, Baltimore instead of Danbury is to be the scene of the Dempsey on the Fourth of July. The change was made last night after the State authorities Of Connecticut had announced that they would stop any attempt to stage the fight in Dan bury or any other part of that com nlonwealth, Joe Mulvihil of New Haven, the promoter of the bout, some days ago was offered a substan- tial sum if he would turn over the contracts of the boxers to the Manu- mental Athletic club of Baltimo ore When Mulvihil was informed of the decision of Governor Holcomb and the police officials of Connecticut he realized that the jig was up as far as his independent staging of the fight was concerned, He got into touch with the Baltimore men, and in con- sderation of 5000 turned the bout over 10 them.
 The club in the Maryland metropo- lis intends to hold the fight along the lines laid down by MulNihil. It will and will he held in tho Baltim ore baseball park in the afternoon. Tho police officials of Baltimore will have a hand in the naming of referee It may be that they will take it on themselves to do all the naming of the third man in the ring.

GUIGNARD GETS Or
DER FROM TASMANIA

August Guignard has devised an APP
pie sizing machine, which. according
to experts who have seen it in opera
tion, will go far toward cutting the
cost of packing apples. While many
machines have been devised, the com
pactness, cheapness of original con.
structien and cost of operation of Mr..
Guigard's machine is said to be an APP
pealing feature.
Designs of the machine have been
sent by Mr.. Guignard to domestic fruit
districts and those Of foreign countries.
He is receiving many orders, and a
crew of men is kept busy in the manu-
facture of the sizer on his West Side
ranch.
Mr.. Guignard Saturday received an
order by cable from Hobart, Tasmania,
for one of the machines. He says he
is receiving numerous inquiries from
orchardsts in New Zealand.
