Reporters Break Deadlock.

The conference was held in the pres
ence OF number of newspaper writer's,
and when the deadlock had continued
some time Richard suggested that the
size of Dempsey's share of the purse be
left to them. A blind ballot was taken
and Richards figures won by margin
Of almost three to one.
With the main detail settled the other
features were easily arranged. An I'M
Outstanding was reached that the terms
would be drawn up in legal form and
the contract signed as soon az Dempsey
reaches this city. which will probably
be not later than Friday.
Under the present agreement the total
amount of the purse for the two heavy
weights reaches S127,500, which is the
largest sum ever offered for a pugiistic
encounter in any weight class. It ex-
ceeds by $1,000 the s121,o00. record
purse paid to Johnson and Jeffries.
No value can be fixed on the moving
picture rights at present. The syndi-
cate OF moving picture men who paid
s150,e00 for five-sixths of the Johnson
Jeffries rights collected receipts of
$4,000 on their venture.

Two Vital Questions.


Two matters of vital Importance the
national organization will have to dis
pose OF issyotingy power and the cham
pionship doubles question. There is a.
elamor by the western association to
have the title in the doubles decided
on@the OASIS in operation until 1916
WhenE the one tournament plan was
decided upon. Prior to 1916 sectional
Journeys were held, the various win
ners meeting in Chicago in a national
preliminary, and the ultimately sue
cessful pair playing the titfeholders at
giles championship.
In making its fight for the return
TO the sectional plan, the west logicaI IL
~ contends that this method creates
interest In the game in the various
tennis centers of the country. Also
that sections which otherwise might
not have representation in any ma
tional event are almost certain to
send competitors. Also the holding Of
both the national singles and doubles
IN the east, as was done last year.
does not meet with the approval of
the west, to say the least
Vests Stand illogical.
The VESTS stand on the voting
question is Illogical. According to
the plan IN force each club that is q
direct member of the national asso-
citation has one vote washington
has four-the Chevy Chase, Columbia
and Dumbaiton Clubs and the De-
partmentaI League. There are possfs
bly, 500 in all that now belong. Each
pays annual dues to defray the ex-
penses of the national body
What the western organization adj
vocates is for clubs affiliated only
with the associations each be al
lowed a'vote. these bodies being per-
mitted to cast them at the national
meeting. For example there ara
fully 125 clubs in Chicago alone that
are affiliated with the western body,
not to mention others in the section.
and, OF course, if the plan was adopt
ed 1T would also apply to the Pacific
Coast and Southern Association. There
is no eastern association, the clubs
in this section paying attention only
to the national organization So IL
can readily be seen that under such
an arrangement as proposed the east,
while bearing the brunt of support :
ing the national body financially.
would be. subordinated when. it came
to legislation
voting control, but this is no fault of
its own. Any club in the country
fostering tennis is eligible to Join and
be in good standing as long as ifs
dues are paid. A clubs proxy can be
voted by any legitimate representa-
tive it cares to intrust it to.

GADBY Street, WAR
HERO, VISITS HERE
Former National Catcher Is
Battle Scarred-Served
in Gas Regiment.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Bearing scars of bullets and shrap-
mel on his nose and abdomen, and the
effects of the Huns murderous mus
tard gas where the stubble for
merly fourished on his chin, Sergt.
Charles Everett Street. 1st Gas Regi-
ment, chemical warfare, arrived in
Washington yesterday in uniform
decorated with the allied service bar,
seven stripes denoting years serv-
ice overseas and wounds received
and the insignia of honorable dis
charge from Uncle Sans military es-
tablishment.
Little Worse for Experience.
Sergt. c. Everett, etc, is none other
than our old friend "Gabby" Street,
whose name will go down in history
as the first big league battery part
ner of Walter Johnson, and who, for
years, was a popular favorite with
the fans out Georgia avenue way.
Despite the narrowing experiences
he had in the year he spent in France,
Street, aside from a slight abrasion on
the bridge of his nose, where a Hun
machine gun bullet plowed its way
through his proboscis, and the fact
that he emerged from the hardships
he endured some twenty pounds I'M
derweight, is in good health, and in
tends to resume his activities on the
diamond this season. He was around
yesterday shaking hands with hts old
friends-they are legion in Washing
ton-and relating the facts he has
personal knowledge of, of the big
scrap over there.
'Gabby" bears the distinction of
being probably the only professional
ball player over the draft age-he
has passed his thirty fifth milestone
who was actually engaged in base
ball and gave it up to enlist in the
Army His caliber will be appreciated
when it is set forth that before he
could be accepted for service by the
Army physicians he had to undergo
an operation at considerable expense
to himself.

Place of Fight Not Decided.

Up to the present moment | have
not the slightest idea where the bout
will take place"
Both Kearns and Rickard agreed
to post $4,000 when the agreement is
signed on Dempsey's arrival here
from Salt Lake City. Richard will
post 20 per cent of Dempsey's share
sixty days before the bout.
Fifty-five minutes of discussion was
required before the promoter and
Dempsey's manager reached a mu-
tual financial plan.
Kearns opened the conference by
Offering to match Dempsey against
Willard for one-third of the SI0e, 900
the champion is to receive, but Rick
ard refused absolutely to pay s33.-
333 to the Salt Lake City heavyweight
and countered with a proposition of
$4,000 and one-third of the NOV
ing picture rights. Kearns finally re-
duced his terms to $4,000 and Rick
ard raised his to s27,500 and for a
time neither appeared willing to
change his figures.

CHANGES IN TARIFF
|. LOOKED FOR SOON
After-War Conditions Must
: Be Adjusted by Next
Congress.
POLITICS IN BACKGROUND

Revision of many of the tariff
schedules to meet after-war condi-
tions is believed to be inevitable at
the next session of Congress. This is
not by way of saying that the pro-
tective tariff as a one-party issue is
TO come up. More likely the tariff
will be first revised by bipartisan ac-
tion, along lines recommended by the
tariff commission. whose recommends
lions III its recent annual report have
attracted wide attention in Congress.
This report. coming from a demo-
cratic commission, under a democratic
administration, recognizes the neces-
eity for making changes in existing
schedules and effecting them for the
purpose of protecting American in
dostries-to that extent a concession
60 the republican doctrine of protec-
Hon The commission, however, will
not go so far as to indorse the ultra
bfotectionist views of the old wing
Of the republican party.
What Board Recommended.
The tariff commission recommends
revision of the rates on dyes and coal
Tar products, chemicals generally, silk
and silk goods, cotton goods, glass,
white earthenware, brushes, buttons.
Manufactures of metals, surgical in
Struments, agricultural products and
many other articles.
Action on the chemical dyeStuffs
and coal tar products scheduled at
che earliest practical moment is deem
ed essential. Unless this is done, a
large proportion of the firms which
have entered the field during the war
VIII be forced out of business by the
return of competitive conditions
abroad.
The textile schedule will need at
tention, also. Prior to 1914, 80 per
cent of the cotton gloves used in this
country were imported from Germany:
Since then, the Americans have adj
&anced in their manufacture TO
stage where the industry can be held
here with the imposition of a sufi-
eient protective duty.
= Germans Might Get Trade.
: Optical glass, which before the war
came from Germany, is now being
manufactured here in large quanti-
Hes. Through the aid of scientists of
4he Carnegie Institution. and the bu-
feau of standards. che details of the
Manufacture of this class of wares
thave been developed and for more
4han a year the output has been
heavy. Unless an adequate tariff is
crowded the trade will fall into the
hands Of Germany again.
: The button industry has been fos-
fered in this country, and. while Japan
las largely increased her exports of
buttons to the United States. the in
1pstry is regarded as well worth pro-
4ecting, and the million
Trade of Germany to be kept from her
after the war. Germany had praeti-
eally a monopoly in transferring de-
sign for decorative purposes to white
pottery, but now 80 per cent of the
work is done in the United States
American ball clay is being used in
pottery. instead of English clay.
