PHILLIES PLAY
DOUBLE-HEADER
Two Defeats at Hands of
Reds Will Cause Tie for
Fourth Place
NJ f EFT MATTY'S REDS

Christy Mathewson and his crew of
big leaguers, representing Cincinnati.
moved into this city today to engage
our ''pepless Phils' in a battle or some
thing for the possession cf fourth place
in the National League social standing
The visitors arrived with a do-or-die
spirit prevailing. They had quite a hard
time of it up in Boston. getting walloped
twice yesterday by the overwhelming
scores of lis and 1913. AS a result of
this double reverse and the Phillies tri-
umph over the league-leadlng Chicago
cubs the home talent is leading the Reds
by twC-game margin.
This margin however. may be wiped
out by an afternoons work or as some
would say. nonessential work. The Reds
and Phils are due to engage in a double
header at the local ball yard today, the
first game starting at LAS. Two de-
fcats for the home tribe and the visitors
will be on equal footing with us.
Even though the Phils broke even
with the league-leading cubs during the
series just completed. Manager Moran
and the fans are far from satisfied with
the showing of the team. The men ap-
pear to have lost their ambition and
pep. They 60 out on the field with the
idea of not, caring when the game is
over and who wins. Perhaps we have
the wrong idea, hut several persons have
confessed that the listleSs play of the
Phils has permitted them to enjoy
short nap at the ball grounds

NEWS OF SHIPYARDS ROUNDABOUT
VTRGINIA'S SONS GIVE DANCE
Coast Guards Uniforms Make
"Wallflowers'' of Civilians

Many of the Chester Shpbuilding
Company's young women employees got
only short sleep last night, but they
all say the fun was worth 1t.
There was a dance at odd Fellows
Hall. Chester, and most of the Virginia
coastguards, who protect the shipyard
day and night were there. The guards
gave the dance and many of them
sported new uniforms to dazzle the
girls
1t was a bit warm for dancing. bu;
everybody who could get there stepped
around to fast music and had good
time.
The shpworkers also were there
pretty strong, but without uniforms. of
course, they didn't stand quite as good
"A show as the guards Some of the boys
in civilian dress thought it too warm
to glide. anyway. and crowded a little
more heat into the benches. Nobody
seemed in a hurry to go Eeme. but II
might have been much worse--Or later.
The guards all had to turn out at five
this morning and the shipworkers were
not bit sorry for them. The latter
are soon going to have a dance of their
own. and as they like to see the guards
enjoy themselves, they will return the
favor and invite them.

INDUSTRIES BOARD
TO EXPEDITE STEEL
Pledges Its Cooperation in
fastening Supplies to Ma
tion's Shipyards

The war Industries board has offered
the strongest kind of cooperation in OBJ
tanning allotments of steel for the vari.
Gus shipyards. as requested by the
Emergency Fleet Corporation.
Charles NJ Schwab director general
of the Fleet Corporation. today praised
the work done by the board in rushing
steel shipments. Mr.. Schwab will meet
representatives Of the big steel planta
in New York Monday to outline plans
for filing every shpyard with a biz
reserve supply of steel
The meeting has not been arranged
because the war industries board has
been unable to allocate the steel az
needed: in fact. the board has sent
every ounce of steel to the shipyarda..
Mr.. SChwab will outline plans for speeds
ing up production and keeping all steel
produced in this country until sufficient
reserve supplies are in every yard
The war industries board has been
the greatest power behind me in obtain
ing the steel needed in the various ship
yards" Mr. SChwab said. There has
been no agency in the construction of
ships that has done more for the pro-
gram. Particularly to Mr. Baruch and
Mr.. ReplOglc do ] want to express thanks
for all they have done. Their work has
been magnificent. as has the work of
the entire board"

FULTON-DEMPSEY
AWAIT THE CALL
!Much-P Postponed Battle Is
Due to Be Staged at Har-
rison This Afternoon
HERMAN TAYLOR TALKS
BY JAMES s. CAROLAN

After many postponCments, delays,
setbacks, disappointments and other OBJ
structions that even threatened to cali
loft the bout at the last minute. Fred
Fulton. the rangy Minnesota plasterer,
and Jack Dempsey. the coast contender
are due TO come together at Federal
League ball park, at Harrison, y. J.,
about 6 80 this afternoon. All Fulton
has walked into is one cancellation after
another. 1t all started when he was
matched with Willard, but public senti-
ment was against the bout, and after
much wasted effort all attempts to put
on the heavyweight act were abandoned
Dempsey was not having much diff
Guilty to keep busy, but the moment he
was lined up with Fulton his troubles
began. They were chased out of the
West, came to Bridgeport, Conn. ready
to entertain, but failed to impress. They
next moved to Baltimore but there they
mot only failed TO get a permit, but
caused the officials to clamp the lid on
all kinds of boxing entertainment for
the duration of the war.
Blocked at First
Their first attempt to appear in New
Jersey was blocked Chairman Smith
being quoted as saying Ine bout nCv.r
would GO. However, few weeks agG Il
received official approval. Just when the
boys had everything clear the Minnesota
draft officials butted in and claimed Full
ton never appeared when ordered to re-
port for physical examination. Fred
ward then was forced to work overtime
to convince the officials that he had
nbided by the rulings.
Unless something develops between
how and $50 the boys will get to-
eether. The bout will interest, for it is
between two of the best men of their
weight in the world. The winner doubt :
hess will be matched to meet Willard
whenever the public demands a meet
ing. But Willard bout will not enter
Into the !melight until after Fulton and
dempsey settle their little argument
Promoter Taylor Speaks
"Take it from me- all the boys ad-
vertised to appear in the all-star show
at Shibe Park on Tuesday night will be
|there" said Herman Taylor, one of the
nromoters of the big boxing program
scheduled for next week. TT is a tough
lob to keep a line on eight, but we have
their forfeit money and contracts. Every
man will be in the city by tomorrow
night and complete the work here. None
OF them will take part in any bout until
after Tuesday night
The fact that Jackson engaged in a
bout in Boston last Wednesday night
after he had signed to box here on
Tuesday aroused the wrath of the youth
full promoter. Any kind of an accident
would have caused the promoters en-
barrassment and much added labor.
Cline was 20 box in Jersey on Thursday
night, but the moment Taylor heard
Rabout it he wired II. Morgan Pollock
to keep Cline out of it. Jack Britton
was booked to box on Monday night
hut a wire to Dan Morgan also will
keep Britton idle.
Battling Levinsky and Jack Britton,
two of Dan Morgan's boys who box
Tuesday, are completing their work at
Clarence Taubel's training palace at
Riverside, n. j.

C. B. BUXTON MAY PLAY
in MIXED FOURSOMES
Local Champion Has Been Asked to Substitute in Red
Cross Match for Norman H. MAXWELL Who
Is in the Draft
BY WILLIAM II. EVANS

Cameron B. Buxton. the Philadel-
phia amateur champion, and at pres
ent one of the big railroad men of the
country, has been asked by the Golf AS
sociation of Philadelphia TO play in the
mixed foursome affair at the Philadel-
phia Cricket club on Saturday, August
10, for the American Red Cross. II ne ac-
cepts the invitation re will take inc
place of Norman II. Maxwell, the lot
mer North and South champion, VINO Is
one of the million youngsters VINO at
taired their ma iority on or before the
first of last June and are now SUBJECT
to the new draft. Maxwell was very
anxious to play but he is so uncertain
about his future movements that ne de-
c.ded to withdraw. Because OF TINS ul-
certainty he will not be able to play IN
Red Cross matches at Boston and ProVi-
dence and in the amateur professional
matches next week.
Maxwell Can't Play
Maxwell says there is nothing that
would give him more pleasure than
playing in the match of August 10, but
he has not the fainteSt idea whether he
will be in town or camp on that date,
and rather than put the committee to
lot of trouble to find a substitute at
the last minute he thought the best thing
to do would be to withdraw from it.
If Buxton can find time to play he
will be partnered with Miss Mildred
Caverly. the national finalst and the
Philadelphia champion. against Miss
Alexa Stirling, the national champion
and Bobby Jones, the sensational
youngster from Atlanta. Tho other
foursome will. be made up of Miss
Elaine Rpsenthal. former western cham
pion and runner-up last year for the
title. and Perry Adair, also of Atlanta
against Mrs. Ronald II. Barlow, twice a
national finalist, and Max Marston a
former national semifinalst.
How They Do 1t Out West
Max Marston. who, paired with Os-
wald J. Kirkby, defeated Chick Evans
| and Warren X. Wood at F'lossmOor last
Sunday, says a sum in excess of $4,000
| was raised for the Red Cross by the
match. One of the ways in which this
was done was by sending each member
| of the club five badges of admission
| The members were allowed to pay what
| ever they saw fit for these or they
| could sell them to their friends. In
many cases some of these badges
| brought hundred dollars or more. A
very attractive scoring card proved a
big seller, and, in addition, soft drinks
were sold and other souvenirs were dis
| posed of to the gallery, which was large
| and enthusiastic.
There ought to be a large crowd at
