PERRY AWARDED A!!
 TO BOSTON CLUB
National Commission De- clares That Deserter Be-
 longs to the Braves.

cincinnati, June 13-In a majority nnd1ng the National Baseball Com mission yesterday declared the trans fer of Player Scott Perry from the Atlanta club to the Philadelphia American League club gull and void and upheld the claim of the Boston National League club to the players services upon the payment of S2,0O0 tL the Atlanta club. The Boston club vas also permitted to return the play
 CT to Atlanta, if, after 13 days trial,
 it desires to do so
 President Johnson of the Ameri-
 can League did not concur in the
 finding which was signed by Chair
 man August Hermann, of the Ma
 tlonal Commission, President Tener of l the National League, and Secretary J. Il. Farrell of the National Assoeia- ton. President R. H. Rough of the Southern Association, filed a minority finding in which he stated that he believed the Atlanta club was within | it's rights in disposing of Perry to the | Philadelphia club.
 Perry was sold by Atlanta to the Boston Nationals for $2,00Q, optional agreement, but deserted the team on | June IT, 1917. The Boston club was
 assured at the time that if the player ever returned to organized baseball | it's rights would be protected, al- l though the National League notified Boston that it could not carry the | player on it's ineligible list, as he was l being carried on Atlanta's ineligible | list. Boston at that time had paid
 a $500 instalment of the $2,000 agreed | for the player. This year Atlanta
 sold the player to the Philadelphia
 Americans and Boston complained
 and laid claim to the player, provid- | ing it fulfilled the original agreement made to Atlanta. The majority oi
 the commission upheld Boston's l claim

CHRISTIE RATED AS ONE OF GAMES
 CLEVEREST MEN

When Gus Christie, the Milwaukee miller, who meets Harry Greb here on June 24, steps into the ring at the Casino, local fans will see one of the cleverest men in the ring game to- day at his weight. Christie, who has been Jack Dillop's sparring partner ever since the Hoosier man-mauler entered the game of give and take, has made a study of science in the boxing game and from his showing during the past year, fight critics claim that he is second only to our own Battling Levinsky, when it comes to the unexpected stuff.
 Last winter Christie boxed Levin sky a fifteen round bout and ring siders termed it the most interesting bout seen in Dayton in years. Local fans know. what Greb can do when he gets started so the big clash book ed for the Casino on the 24th of the month should be a corker.
 In the semi-fnal, MatchmakeT Hogan has secured Battling Kunz, the newly-wed of South Norwalk and state welterweight champion, to meet Louie Bagash This bout may prove interesting but to tell the truth about i it, we hope that Bagash will recover in few days from the slamming the South Norwalker is liable to give him Of course, Kunz will have to be on the job all the time in order to put Bagash away, still the down-state lad, if in good condition, should have no trouble in handing the local Italian 1 a sapping.
 Young McMahon of Stratford ant Kid Turner will meet in the openins bout on the card.

Catches Baseball
 Tossed From Plane

Kelly Field, Texas, June 1S - Catching a baseball dropped from a biplane 700 feet in the air, Corp. Michael Angelo Bessolo of Los Angeles, now connected with the '819th aero squadron here, estab- nshed arecord that is likely to stand for some time. Billy Sulli- van and Charley Street, former American League backstops. each caught a ball dropped from the top of Washington monument, but Bessolo's achievement is far su- perior.
 Two baseball teams from the camp were in the competition. More than three dozen balls were wasted by the aviator before a direct catch was made. When the wasted balls struck the sandy soil they became lobbed and useless. The ball came toward Bessolo in a wide curve, and he did not move more than three feet to set him self for the catch.
 He extended his arms almost directly over his head, most dangerous position, for if the ball had crashed through his hands it would have struck him in the face. When the ball smacked into Besselo's mitt his hands were driven on a line with his breast bone. He felt a jingle like an electric shock and staggered slightly as he grabbed the ball.

EXPECT FULTON
 NEXT TUESDAY
Minnesota Plasterer to Give Exhibition for Allingtown .
 Hospital Benefit.

Fred Fulton, the Minnesota plas- terer, who meets Jack Dempsey in a 2Q-round bout at Danbury on July A. will arrive in New Haven next Tues day morning, according to an an- nouncement made today by Promoter Joe Mulvihill. Mulvihill stated that Fulton and his manager, Mike Col lins, together with a corps of spar ring partners, are now speeding east and will stop in New York a few days before coming to Connecticut. Ar engagements were made yesterday whereby Fulton will appear in a three round bout at the show to be held for i the soldiers in the Allingtown hos pital in New Haven on the day of his arrival. His opponent will be Harry Wills, the well known colored heavy weight, who recently signed as spar ring partner. Fulton will finish his training in Danbury.
 All arrangements for the show will i he completed within a day or two "We'H have a $75,000 gate or I'll miss my guess" declared Mulvihill 1
 The referee question is still unset- tied, according to Mulvihill. He said that if he had his say it will be Da- vid Fitzgerald or some other Con- necticut man. Mulvihill is of the opinion that there are just as capable officials in this state as elsewhere and that there is no use bringing on Matt Hinkle from Cleveland, or Billy Roche from New York. The fighters, of course, will have a whole lot to say before a referee is finally selected.
 Dempsey left Frisco several days ago and may put in an appearance before Fulton. He will establish training headquarters at Mike Mich ols' Hotel Sea View, Savin Rock, upon his arrival. Dempsey fears no further trouble from John Reisler as an order has ben issued by a Minnesota court, restraining the latter from bothering him until the case comes to trial. Dempsey is being handled by Jack Kearns. the prominent western man ager of scrappers.
 Ed Smith, the Chicago referee and sporte writer, is making arrangements to run an excursion from the Windy City. He has already placed a. bid with the promoters for 400 ringside seats.

SPORT BRIEFS

Were it not for the fact that Uncle Sam and all his nephews and nleces are engaged in the more serious busl- ness of making war, it is not unlikely that there would be nationwide celebration in honor of the seventy second birthday of the national pas time tomorrow.
 All things must have beginning, and several cities have claimed to be the birthplace of baseball. Boston claims that game called New Eng land" was the parent of baseball, while Philadelphia makes similar claim for it's town ball" which was played by an organized club, the Olympics, as early as 1883. The an cient game of "rounders" was an earlier phase of the same game. When it comes right down to hard facts, however, Hoboken can right | fully claim to be the cradle of the diamond pastime, for that city was the scene of the first regular, bone fGe baseball game between two clubs | that had names. It was seventy-two years ago tomorrow, June IA, 1S46, that the Knickerbockers and the New ] York Cities crossed bats"-to use the time honored phrase-on the Elyslan Fields near Jersey City, on the site of Hoboken. The Elysian Fields were the playing grounds of the Knicker- lockers, club organized in New York in September, 1S45. The "'Knicks' were the first club to form ulate playing rules. The New Yorks organized a little later and adopted the same code.
 Both of these clubs played several contests with scrub teams, picked up from among the spectators, before they faced each other on that June day in 1S46 to play the first match game in baseball history. Under the first code of baseball rules, the club
 that first made twenty-one runs was
 the victor. The game lasted four in
 nings and the Knickerbockers won.
 but the score of their opponents has
 been lost in the rubbish of antiquity.
 The Knickerbockers found their
 first real rivals in the Gothams, or ganized in 1850, and the Greenpolnt lEckfords and the Morrisiania Unions,

Springfield police commits sioners decided that no police officer would be allowed to accept any reward for the arrest of deserters.

Wild Heave Aids
 Planters to Win

Worcester, June 13-A throw by Gross not only wild but uncalled for, gave New London two runs in the sec ond inning yesterday, and they were the only runs made by either team. The visitors did not get hit in the inning. "A tumble by Dee, poor throw by Cooney, bunt by Oakes and a pass to Wendell filled the bases with one out. Kelliher hit to McQuillan. A runner was forced at the plate and an attempt made to double the batsman at first When it failed Gross threw over Redman's head, although the runner at third was going back to that bag.
 After the throw he scored and the man from second followed. Kelliher would have scored from first were it not for a ground rule, as the ball went out of the park. Umpire Kelly called the game at the end of the seventh on account of darkness. Score:

.FiStic History

Thirty-three years ago today, June 19, 1885, John L. Sullivan defeated Jack Burke in five rounds at Chicago. For this little session in the Windy City, which proved to be nothing more than a little amusement for the "Bos- ton Strong Boy" Sullivan received $4,30o. After John L. became cham ] pion by whipping Paddy Ryan in | 1882, the whole world was secured for a man who could take the title away from John, and Burke was but one of many false alarms who were touted as coming champions. Sulli- van found all of them, with the ex- ception of Charlie Mitchell of Eng land, to be easy and rich picking. He Wilson; S11,000 for the fight with Mitchell in Madison Square Garden. got SIP, ,000 for his exhibition with Tug when the Britisher knocked him down; $13,0OO for showing up the widely advertised Herbert Slade and similar sums of long green for his many other victories.
