Secretary Baker has granted organ

Crowder will so into effect for base

July I. This decision followed the
representations made to General
crowder by the national commission.
Whether the two major leagues will
60 out of business on September 1 or
not will not be known for some weeks,
but the probabilities are that between
now and Labor Day the magnates will
seize all the available players In the
country to fill out their battle fronts
and go through with their present
schedules.
II the majors do finish their 1913
campaigns, even with makeshift
teams, the playing OF a worlds series

FULTON Is EAVORITE .
TO WIN FROM DEMPSEY

NEW YORK. July 27.-The biggest
crowd to see an eastern boxing
match since Jess willard beat Frank
Moran is forecast for the eight-round
bout at Harrison, N. J., this evening
between Fred Fulton, of Rochester,
Mimi, and Jack Dempsey, of Salt
Lake City. The fight starts at6:3o.
The stadium will seat $4,000 per-
sons. and advance sales indicate its
capacity will be taxed
The bout itself ought to be the
best heavyweight encounter in years,
The winner will be generally recog-
nized as champion, Fulton is ex-
pected TO weigh about 210, while
Dempsey probably will scale 19a. The
former is a slight favorite in the
betting, owing principally TO the
brevity OF the match and the soft
gloves to be used.
