SH|BE NOT TOATTENDs
DISCUSSION ON MAYS
Five Club Owners Turn Down
Invitations to Take Up
Players Case III
SESSION MAY BE DROPPED

1t is beginning to look as IL the
meeting Of the American League club
owners which was called at the invi-
tation of Colonel Rupert to discuss
the Carl Mays suspension and injunc-
ton in New York on Monday would
not materialize. The FIVE clubs, which
President Ban Johnson said had pro-
tested against the trade Of Mays from
Boston to New York are apparently
determined to back up the big boss Of
the league.
The first indication that the club own
crs would refuse to meet here was a
telegram sent by Ben Shibe, president of
the Athletics. He wired: 'Will not
be present at the meeting Monday
However. President Charles Comiskey
of the Chicago White Sox wired his ac9
ceptance of Colonel Ruppert's invitation
yesterday. Mr.. Comiskey said he would
surely attend.
The five clubs which Johnson named
as opposing New York in the negotia-
Washington. Philadelphia and St
Louis. An interesting phase of the Sit
uation cropped up yesterday when Sec
rctary Willis johnson of the st. Louis
Browns said that as far as he knew the
st. Louis club did not protest to John
son against New York trying to get
Mays. This is a contradiction of john
sons assertion.
If the club owners are not disposed
to go to New York to discuss the Mays
case. the attorneys for the New York
club will go ahead and ask for per-
manent injunction on Tuesday in Part
l of the Supreme Court.

REDS MUST OPPOSE
MEADOWS, PHIL ACE
Cravath Determined to Stop
Leaders and Will Use His
Latest Mound Star
PACKARD HAD HARD LUCK

Cincinnati, Aug. o. - Cravath's
merry men positively decline to be
downhearted, and declare they will fry
the Reds in butter for Saturday
Carnival. Lee Meadows is to pitch, and
Mr.. Meadows feels powerful vigorous,
sub, pow'ful vigorous.
The Philadelphia players says that
the reason for Meadows's wonderful
change in pitching form is the easiest
thing in the world to understandable
way Cravath is guiding him. At st.
Louis Hickey made Meadows warm up
and work hard every day in the bull pen
had him breaking his neck with labor
and when it came his turn to pitch
he was positively all in.
Cravath does not ask him to even
touch a ball between his games.
and the slender, not overly muscular
Meadows can respond to his regular call
in splendid condition and with a Won
derful amount of steam.
It's just another tribute to the hon
esty of baseball, this determination of
the Phils to beat the Reds, for in
their hearts Cravath's men hate the
Giants and want nothing so much as
to see them overthrown. Yet they will
go in and, back of Meadows, they are
extremely likely to spoil perfectly
good Saturday for the Cincinnati crowd.
The game yesterday did not convince
the Phils that the Reds were their
masters. though they admit that Moran
has a grand ball club. Fact is, the
Cravath crowd are rather of the opin-
ion that they themselves are pretty
classy, and they could do a world of
things if. the race went 154 games
instead Of 140-not win any pennants,
of course, but shove themselves up
at least two more notches in the race.

BENJAMIN PROMISING
LEONARD RING PUPIL
Brilliant Coast Boy Fought
Champion in Frisco, Likes
His Style, Then Joined
His Camp
MAKES DEBUT IN EAST
BY JAMES S. CAROLAN


A STRANGER from the shores of the
= distant Pacific will be with us
shortly. But this son. of the Golden
West is no pacifst. He earns his live
lihood through his ability to WELD the
padded mitts. For the first time in his
young life he will exhibit in the dis
tant East, many miles from home and
friends.
But this does not shock the game
little youth. He met the best the East
had to offer in a fistic way less than
twelve months ago and he stayed the
regulation four rounds. That was
when Benny Leonard was introduced
to the sons of California. The native
son was crowned king in his section
and the natives believe him un-
beatable.
Leonard earned the verdict but it
wasn't any walkaway.. The champion
had just completed a four days jour-
ney and with less than two days to be-
come acclimated, climbed into the ring
against the game Californian. The ma :
tive son was accustomed to the coast
conditions and was intimate with the
four round game. He gave Benny a
nice little argument during the limited
engagement.
Benjamin Impressed
Joe Benjamin, the pride of Frisco,
made such an impression with Billy
Gibson, Leonard's manager, that he
was invited to make tour of the east.
Benjamin declined at the time but said
he would accept the invitation when he
believed he was ready to meet the high =
class boys developed along the Atlantic
seaboard.
BENJAMIN now is in New York, work
ing daily with Leonard. First he met
him as ring foe, he learned plenty in
that battle with the greatest fighter of
his ounces In this age, and he did not
forget. Now be has been taking a post :
graduate in Leonard boxing college
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-08-09

and he expects to graduate with honors
before he takes home his degree.
BENJAMIN will open in the, East
agaist Al Thompson, one of the best
boys ever developed in the marines.
Thompson won the service club cham
pionship a year ago and made so good
that he was assigned to assist in in
structing the marines in.the art of self =
defense.
Major A. ]. Drexel Biddle thought
so much of Thompson's work that he
had him assigned to his department.
This is the same Thompson that
BENJAMIN meets in the first bout at the
Phils' park Monday night.
yelling to Fight
Rumors were in circulation yesterday
that Joe yelling would not be able to
appear here against Dundee. One re-
port had Ralph Brady, the Syracuse
lightweight, assigned to oppose Dundee.
AS soon as Promoter Taylor was ques
toned he turned loose the following:
"Joe yelling will positively box here
Mon lay night. I had another wire from
him Yesterday, and to prove that we are
acting in good faith we will have him
here tonight. yelling has completely
recovered from his siege of boils and
will be ready for Dundee"
1t is also known that all the rules
governing clean boxing will be enforced.
ANY violation by the seconds or the
fighters will result in immediate dis
qualification. This was decided at a
special meeting yesterday.
All the fighters and their managers
will DE instructed before the principals

Chicago, Aug. 0.-President b. b.
Johnson. of the American League. be-
fore leaving for the East today said he
would not attend the meeting of the
league called for Monday by the own
ers of the New York Americans to
discuss the case of Pitcher Carl Mays.
who is under suspension by the league
president. He based his refusal to
attend the meeting on the ground that
it had been called without authority.
President Johnson's business in the
East he said, was in connection with
the hearing Monday on the injunction
restraining the American League from
interfering with the New York club
in efforts to use Mays as a player.
