DR.. Murphy several times today, re-
Questing conversation. DR.. Murphy
has steadfastly refused to talk with
Burgess. Asked why he would not
talk. DR.. Murphy said he wanted the
officer to tire OF his attitude and 10
return to the asylum.
DR.. White said that Burgess had been
a good patient at the institution during
his stay there with the exception OF one
or two outbreaks.
This man evidently has had this case
coming on him for several years, ne
said. "A case OF mental trouble ike
this grows little by little. As far as our
records show. he has never been ABROAD
in the service. He is a member OF the
hospital reserve corps. l believe he was
in one Of the environments before COM
ing here"
This being a very peculiar case"
said DR.. White, with a man locked
in a room, armed with q gun, and not
know what he is planning to do we
have decided to use a policy OF watch
full waiting.
1--WE are doing this with the hope
that he will have q change OF mind
and ideas as is often the case with
men suffering from such mental
trouble. When this occurs we Will
be able to lead him back to the
hospital. We will know when the
time is ripe when he begins to ASK
for food, and when he'll want to De
taken out on the street.
I'VE cannot discuss the diagnosis OF
the case, as that is confidential. II
would be unethical to say what he is
suffering from, but I will say that 1t
is not paranoia- He is not q psra-
noiac"
Major Pullman has instructed de-
tectives who are guarding Burgess
to act under the orders Of DR.. Muir
ply. Pullman said:
"Dr. Murphy is the only one who
can deal with this man. and the po-
lice will not interfere where they
know the life of a human being
hangs in the balance.
I'VE have adopted the policy OF
watch and wait We have no idea
where the man obtained his revolver.
Burgess has threatened to kill him
self IL the police interfere, and We do
not intend to shoulder the response
bility Of being the cause OF the death
OF this man."

j. S. LABOR WILL
NOT MEET BOCHE

LONDON, Sept 11.-American labor
will refuse to participate in confer
ence with enemy representatives, Sam
uel Gompers. president OF the Amer

an interview with British journalists,
made public here today.
81 don't want to appear dogmatic."
said Gompers. but Of this position
you may rest assured: there will be
no recession from the position the
American Federation of Labor has
taken in this war. This means that
the federation will refuse to partici-
pate in conferences with enemy repre-
sentatives. The men and women of
America are not vindictive: they want
nothing but the right of democracies
to live their own lives without being
menaced by militarism or autocracy.
And that includes the democracy Of
Germany"

SUNDAY BALL
A BIG BOOST
Local Fandom Quick to
Grab Chance to See
Games on Sabbath.

Washington Is furnishing a vivid
example of the attitude Of fans along
the Atlantic coast toward Sunday
baseball
The lifting Of the bars against Sun
day ball here May 10 proved a great
boon to lovers of baseball. the Wash
ington club and the American League
as well, and the owners of the Wash
that Sunday ball may be continued
it wants the bars let down.
Last winter there were many ru-
mors concerning the status of the
team failed at the box office during
the season of 1917. for the great army
of war workers at the capital had no
time to patronize baseball during
week days. and the wool
regulars who could get away to at
tend the games throughout the sea-
son were fewer than in other years.
when this country was at peace with
the rest of the world
There was talk of moving the Wash
ington club to some other city. and
it is known from authoritative sources
that such a move was discussed on
several occasions. Finally, Ban John
son came out with a fat denial that
such a move had been seriously
thought Of and derided the idea of
taking the national pastime away
from the National Capital.
Sunday baseball here will be watch
ed with interest by the major league
club owners throughout the East
this season, for the sentiment of the
baseball public is known to be strong
for the amendment of blue laws which
prevail throughout the Eastern States
New York fans would welcome Sun
day ball. as would the fans of Brook
lyn. Philadelphia and Boston. and the
club owners are living in hope of see
ing the bars lifted by the time an
other season rolls around.
Baseball men contend that there is
no radical sentiment among the
masses of fans against Sunday ball.
and they are predicting that the time
is not far off when the baseball fan
who cannot enjoy weekday games
will be permitted to see Sunday games
in all of the big league cities.

Ouertine Battle from Mark Made by Burgess
jess PEEVED
AT RED CROSS
Heavyweight Title Holder
Claims He Was Turned
Down Flat.

Chicago. June 2.-Since the calling
of of the Willard-Fulton bout by Col.
Joe Miller, of Oklahoma, Jess has
been pretty well disappointed. And
one of the thorns in his side appears
to be the Red Cross. He said as much
the other day when he departed for
his ranch out in Kansas. The fact
that the officials Of the Red Cross
turned down his first offer to give
that organization almost all of the
receipts from a championship battle
grated on him. He couldn't under
stand 1t. especially when they wired
him broadside messages to come on
to New York and box for the big
fund they recently raised by a mon
ster boxing carnival.
81 made what I considered was a
fine offer when I returned from Flor
ida" said Jess, land 1t was turned
down cold. That hurt.
"On top of that Col. Miller and
offered the sum of $4,000 to Fort
Sheridan officials, that amount to be
used for an athletic fund or in any
way they saw fit, to stage a bout
with Fulton there. We never heard
any more of this.
AT no time was the colonel un-
willing to give up a big amount OF
the gate receipts to any war fund or
charity that might be named. At no
time was I unwilling to give up a big
portion of my earnings for single
purpose. 1 sincerely believed that the
people wanted to see the question be-
tween Fulton and myself settled for
all time.
But 1t is hard to guess the pub
lie. 1 was scolded for not fighting
and then when signed articles was
panned and my Intentions questioned.
Inasmuch as do not know what the
people want. I am glad the whole
thing was dropped.
"Fulton's claims to the title make
me smile. He seems to take the po-
sition that it was my fault that the
match fell through. Perhaps he can
find a place for the battle. II he will
let me know about II. I'll be there on
the date appointed and give him "a
battle. I can assure him. however.
that Col. Miller made an honest eff
fort to get the fight placed and failed.
II he can do better let him go ahead
and try it.
1.-The promotion end OF this cost
Miller a heavy sum and was expensive
to me as well. In the meantime, Full
ton went on a tour and presumably
made money out of the fact that he
was really matched with me. So I
can't see that he has any kick COM
ing"

MIKE GIBBONS
RECORD CLEAN
:. .PaulMiddle-weightC Gives
Fine Example for Box
ers to Follow.

Chicago, Ill, June 2.-It begins TO
look as though NJ. Thomas Gibbons,
Of st. Paul, brother of Mike. the
phantom boxer of the same city, will
have to take up the burden soon of
keeping the family boxing escutcheon
clean. For it has come to pass, as it
does with all great men. that Mike.
prince of the middIe-weight division.
has announced that he is about TO
retire from active participation in
fisticuffs.
Mike, as is known. is at Camp
Dodge teaching Uncle Sans boys how
to uppercut a Hun with a bayonet.
and will hereafter appear only in ex-
hibition bouts. No more will fight
fans have the opportunity of seeing
the fast and flashy st. Paul man
dance around an opponent and cut
him to ribbons.
Ere passing on to Tommy il Is not
amiss to dwell somewhat on the past
of Mike. Mike, above all, has been
one of the cleanest boxers in the pro-
fession. In addition. he led nothing
but clean and temperate life. a
thing of which so few boxers and
fighters can boast.
Mikes reputation as clean fight
er has spread far and wide ard in
two instances has been a big boon
to the boxing game. The clean re-
putation of Mike Gibbons and his
brother Tommy at st. Paul led to the
Minnesota legislature passing a bill
legalizing boxing in that state.
Again. the Gibbons boys made a
trip to the coast some time ago, and
with their reputation gone ahead of
nom, the bars against boxing in Ore
and Washington were dropped 10
low them to put on exhibitions in
hose States. And the exhibitions were
of such sterling and clean-cut ma
ture that the bars have been down
ever since.
That Mike made a hit with the SOL
der boys and the commanders goes
without saying. 1t always has been
a great delight with him to teach
; boys with the boxing instinct, or
with a desire to learn how to defend
themselves And wherever he has
found a lad with more than ordinary
ability he has induced him to take
up the game and earn a comfortable
livelihood out Of 1t.
Such famous boxers as Billy
, Whelan. Mike ODowd, Johnny Ertlt
and Irish Patsy Cline owe mucn L
Nike for the training of the early
days of their careers. He also had
much to do with bringing Billy
AIiske into the limelight.
, 1t is now up to Tommy to do the
. lighting. since Mike is out of it. Tom
has lost no time and is out with g
challenge to Jack Dempsey, the Pa.
cific Coast aspirant,
Tom is a smaller man than Demp.
sey, but despite weight handicaps ht
! has beaten every man he has met
Tom has never been held to a draw
He fought Miske twice and put up g
fine showing; in fact many say a,
good as Dempsey did.
A battle between Dempsey ant
| Tommy ought to prove a corker. anC
fans are hoping that ere long th'
two may be matched.

WORKLAW CASE
Figures Show That the Big
gest Proportion Of Play

Although little has been heard dur
ing the week about the work-or-fght
law and its effect on professional
baseball, the magnates have been Civ
ing the matter a lot Of thought The
feeling that the government has not
the slightest desire to absolutely dis.
rupt the professional end of the sport
is growing steadily. and before the
law becomes effective many opine thai
some announcement will be made
which will result In the game con-
tinuing without any interruption from
the work-or-fight edict.
Louis Lee Arms in the New York
Tribune prepared a table showing just
how the big leagues would be affected
IL the law was made to apply to pro-
fessional baseball. Let us quote from
his article:
THE table shows that sss Of ss4 play.

mond. leaving 36 players in one lea
que and but 20 in another to continue
the season. Under the circumstances
1t would be well nigh impossible for
each manager to recruit a team &c
finish the play and present a race
with balance or one capable of sus.
tanning interest.
1T is greatly to the credit Of the big
leagues that 50 of their men are now
in some branch OF service. That is
close to 25 per cent Of the norma,
