FACTS OF CASE
AND WRANGLE
Scott Perry, Former South
ern League Pitcher, Has
Moguls Fighting.

Scott Perry first attracted the at
tention of the big league scouts while
playing with the Atlanta club of
the Southern Association. in 1917.
The Boston Braves bought Perry
under an optional agreement for
5000.
According to the evidence submitted
to the National Commission. Perry
deserted the Braves in June. 1911
after the Boston club had paid 500
of the purchase price.
Late last year Perry returned to
the Atlanta club and was sold to
the Philadelphia Americans. with
which team he Is now playing.
The Boston club put in a claim for
the player a few weeks ago and the
matter was taken before the National
Commission, which decided, on June
L, that Perry belonged to the Braves.
The vote of the commission reach
ing this decision was 3 to 2, Pres
ident Ban Johnson, Of the American
League, and r. H. Rough, president
Of the Southern Association, not con-
curing.
Upon the announcement OF the com
mission ruling Connie Mack, mana =
ger of the Philadelphia American,
League club. obtained a court ih,
junction preventing the Boston club
from interfering with the activities
of Perry until the case should come
up for court Judgment.
President Tener. OF the National
League. says that unless Perry is
declared the property of the Bos-
ton Nationals, he CTener) will quit
The National Commission, and unless
upheld by the National League will
quit baseball.
Ban Johnson, president Of the Amer
lean League, says Tener expects to
resign as head of the National League
and that the National League will
Iave little trouble in filling his posi-
ton.

LEW TENDLER is
AFTERLEONARD
Philadelphia Southpaw Of
fers to Post $1,000 to
Meet Champion.

Philadelphia. July 10.-Lew Tend
Ter. star lightweight. who meets
Irish Patsy Cline in the feature bout
at the all-star show at Shibe Park
on the night of July 16. has chal
lenged Benny Leonard, worlds
lightweight king. Through his
manager, Phil Glassman, Tender
yesterday announced that he would
post any amount up to $4,000 10
Clinch a match with Leonard at 1873
pounds rinEside.
Tenders brilliant record against
all the leading light-weights has
given him the necessary confidence.
and he now stands ready to back
his claims with real money.
Tender is a full-fiedged light
weight. He is one of the few class
ed as light-weights who really can
make the required limit. In his
work out at Riverside yesterday ne
scaled only 12S pounds in fighting
toSs. He is well under the regula-
tion pOundage, but believes he has
the strength and ability success
fully to combat Leonard at the
liGht-weiGht limit of 1913 pounds.
Benny Leonard is the only one of the
topnotch liGEt-weights that Tender
has not met.
Much depends on the outcome of
the bout with Cline. If Tender de-
cisively defeats Cline, the one big
star outside of Leonard. then Tend
Ter expects to start a campaign that
!. will result in a meeting with the
champion. After the fight in At
lantic City last Saturday night,
frankie Callahan remarked: Say,
fellows. I'd sonoer fight Leonard
again than battle this Tender. He
has everything and hits we'll"
frankie Callahan will appear in
the second bout at the big show

Baseball men throughout the East
who are in close touch with the
national pastime were unwilling to
venture opinions regarding the out
come. There is a feeling, however.
that baseball cannot afford to add
to its many troubles at this time,
and that disinterested club owners
In both major leagues will use their
influence to bring about a settle
ment
II baseball was enjoying prosper
ity and could look ahead to an un-
clouded future. such as it would
surely have were peace to be de-
clared, a break in the national COM
mission would probably be welcom-
ed in both leagues. But the cooler
heads see the folly of such a thing
now.
Baseball Is a supplicant for lem
iency from government officials re-
garding the application of the
work-or-fight" order of Gen.
Crowder. The men behind the game
hope that Official eyes will look
upon IL as an essential, inasmuch
as II is the national pastime. There
fore. an internal war would work
great harm
In refusing to abide by the Perry
decision the American League broke
the national agreement, baseball
men admit. And the action Of the
Philadelphia club in taking the case
into the civil courts stirred smold-
ering fires in both leagues.
That President Tener Is firm in
his intentions is a certainty, and he
Is not expected to back down, now
that he has permitted himself TO
be publicly quoted. Meanwhile, Ban
Johnson appears to have taken a
nonchalant attitude which has dore
nothing toward smothering the
blaze. The very foundation of base
ball is shaking as a consequence.
