A. A. U. WILL NOT BAR
UNCLE SANS BOYS
Local Members Vote Down
Motion to Keep Service
Men From Contests.
~ GEORGE n. UNDERWOOD.

When an attempt was made to bringin
petty politics to the detriment of Uncle
Sans soldiers and sailors at the annual
meeting OF the Metropolitan Association
Of the A A. U. last night It met with a
merited rebuke. Walter Powe. delegate
from the Alpha p. C. c. c.. made a mo-
tion asking that the soldiers and sailors
be debarred from point competition in
the A. A. u. games on the grounds that
tho strong teams possessed by Pelham
Bay N. T. 8. and other nearby canton
ments made II next to impossible for the
smaller clubs, to capture any point
trophy.
After Secretary-Treasurer Herman
Obertubbesing had made speech in
favor OF Powe's motion Judge jeremiah
T. Mahoney, the New York A. C. dele
gate. leaped to his feet and with ring
ing words voiced the sentiment of. the
majority OF the delegates by declaring
that Uncle Sans soldiers and sailors
were bigger than any club, small or
large. or their Affiliations. Mahoney
said too much could not be given the
boys in khaki and navy blue and the
outburst of cheers that followed Judge
Mahoney was a good barometer to the
vote that followed against the motion.
Frederick w. Ruben OF the st.
George Club was reelected president
and all OF the other regular nominations
went through. The only fight was over
the secretary-treasureship in which the

DRUMMIE Is TOO
CLEVER FOR TUOHEY
Jersey City Lad Outpoints
Paterson Boy in Titular
Bout at Armory A. A.

Unofficially John Drummond Of Jer-
sey City. known in the prize ring as
Young Drummle, Is the lightweight
champion OF New Jersey. Drummie out
pointed Tommy Tuohey OF Paterson In st
night at the Armory A. A.. Jersey City.
There was not the slightest question
as to the superiority OF Drummie over
his red headed adversary, but as the
contest lasted the limit of eight rounds,
and as the referee was not empowered
to make a decision on points the victor
Is not officially the State champion.
Drummis conceded i've pounds to
Tuohey. the Paterson boy scaling 135
to $50 by the Jersey City boxer. But
the extra weight did Tuohey no good,
for the cleverness of Drummie COM
pletely nullified all Of the Paterson
mans efforts to land his heavy right
or hooked his right. Drummie was
either going away or else he blocked
the blow. The few times that Tuohey's
shots reached the mark they had no
lasting effect.
In the matter OF attack Drummie was
prominent He kept shooting a long
straight left into the ruddy countenance
of Tuohey till that young man was be-
wildered. The Paterson boy could not
get his face out OF range. and Drummie
must have landed 200 times on the
Tuohey nose or mouth.
Drumm!e varied this attack by send
ing right hook to the body or the jaw
but as the Jersey City man Is not n
knockout puncher Tuohey was never Off
his feet.
At times Drummle mixed 1t merrily
with his opponent and did not have any
the worst Of 1t. A crowd of 1000 per-
sons saw the encounter.
In the seml-hnal Dummy Thomas out
pointed Mike Russell in six vigorous
rounds.
Hugh Brady shaded frankie Edwards
in six rounds: Teddy Hubs outpolnted
Young Decker in four rounds. and Bobby
Kramer stopped Young Delfino in the
second round.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1s. Harry
Pierce of Brooklyn. who has come to the
help of many a boxing promoter as
pinch hitter, had a chance to perform
in big league company tonight at Olym-
pia. He met Benny Leonard. the world 5
lightweight champion, in the main bout.
At the finish Leonard was on the win
ming end but Pierce need feel no chasrin
over his showing. For the first four
rounds he made the champion step lively.
In the second round Pierce caught
Leonard with a right hand swing. 1t
landed onIthe cheek bone. too high to do
any great damage. 1t sent Leonard back
and the latter for the moment was net
tied. Then he cut loose and gave Pierce
the best he had in shop. But Pierce re-
fused to be sent to the floor. In one
round. the fifth. Leonard caught him
with six right hand punches on the chin.
Pierce never wavered and came back for
more. and he got It

CHICAGO. Sept. 16.-Footbail practice
officially opened to-day In the big ten

the hope, however. that at the end of
two weeks, when most OF the schools
open. some kind Of start may be made
toward building up team.
At the opening of school all discipline
passes out of the hands Of the athletic
officials and goes under military control.
Athletic officials expect that one hour

COTTON SET BACK
ON RAIN REPORTS
Final Prices Eight Dollars a
Bale Below Those of
Friday.

Reports of good rains in the Southwest
stimulated the reactionary sentiment in
spired by the extent Of recent advances,
and there was a sharp break in the cot
ton market yesterday. 1t was not gen
orally considered that the rains had
come in time to prevent sensationally
low end August condition figures. and
further reports were circulating as to
the probable bullishness OF their show
ing. Many traders. however. considered
that these features had been fully dis
counted in the advance of nearly cents
per pound eliminating at practically the
IS cent level at the close on Friday.
while they felt that the fear Of further
deterioration had been relieved by the
Texas rains. There was not anything
like the excitement Of the previous day.
but selling became more general and
more urgent as the rain news received
circulation, and the market closed easy,
at a net decline Of $50 to IT'S points. or
approximately IS per bale below Fri
days final figures.
The opening was comparatively quiet
and the initial offerings were not badly
taken as there was renewed Liverpool
buying and overnight covering. The de-
mand was soon supplied, however, and
the market was weaker after the pub
LEGATION of the Western belt forecast.
October sold off to 1906, and January
to 32so, and the market closed at the
lowest point Of the day.
More or less argument was heard as
to whether the Texas rains had come In
time to materially increase the crop
prospect. The drought there has prevailed
SO long and has been SO severe that In
some sections cotton has been dying, and
there are some who question whether
new>growth so late in the season would
mature its fruit. Texas planters who
happened to be in the city on Saturday.
however, said that the rains would be
most beneficial and would increase the
crop with a normal frost date.

OTHER BANKERS TO

The Federal Reserve Bank and a few
Of the trust companies and banks have
