RUBBER--Prices Decline,

A good sized business was trans
acted in the crude rubber market
yesterday, with dealers buying. The
weakness witnessed in Tuesdays
trading was again in evidence, all
grades of rubber showing losses for
the day. Cables from London and
Singapore reporting firm markets and
general absence Of crude rubber
sellers caused the local market to as
sumo timer attitude at the close,
prices gaining little of their early
losses.

Adverse Exchange Checks
Sale of American Shoes
british Dealers Still Purchasing Here, but Arc Par
ing Down Orders to Minimum Owing to
Low Value of the Pound in United States Money

The decline Of the English pound in
terms of dollars is rapidly curtailing
the expectation of American leather
and shoes to Great Britain, although
purchases arc still being made in this
country. Among the latest British
seekers af American made shoes is the
firm of Lilley & Skinner, Ltd, Lon
don, who are large chain store re-
tailers as we'll rs wholesalers J. II.
Skinner, director Of the firm, and L. r.
Palmer, buyer, have arrived in this
country for a tour and prospective
purchasing trip through American and
Canadian shoe factories.
The adverse exchange rates will
limit our purchases, of course" said
Mr.. skinner yesterday, "but we hope
TO place some orders here. Leather
IS scarce in England and the produc-
ton OF shoes is scarcely more than rs
per cent of normal and nowhere near
the requirements Of British trade. We
must seek shoes wherever we can.
Instead of purchasing in lots of 5000
palrs, for instance, we probably shall
scale down our orders to 500 pair lots
as result of the disadvantagcous
exchange rates"
Mr. Skinner and Mr. Palmer ex-
planned that the under production of
shoes in England is u result Of the
leather shortage and lack Of sufficient
skilled labor. The greatest delays,
they said, exist in the CLOSING rooms
as they are known in England, or the
stitching rooms" AS they are called
in this country, where the final stitch
ing of the uppers is done. Female
labor is used almost exclusively for
this, but was attracted to other indus
tries during the war. In addition to
this the high wages paid the men
workers in almost all industries has
relieved the women folk Of families Of
the necessity of helping earn the
daily bread.
"This situation.' said Mr.. Palmer.

Bad Breaks Is Cause of
Trouble In Red Sox Ranks

Boston, July 21.-The world cham
pion Red Sex, now in seventh place
in the American League standing are
out in a statement signed by virtual
ly every member of the team, deny
ing that the teams failure was due
to dissension or mismanagement.
The poor showing is attributed in
the statement to "a combination of
bad breaks, the failure of some of
the regulars to perform up to their
past standards, weak pitching and
continual bad luck on the field"
Manager Edward Barrow is said to
have treated his players in a man

The fourth round alone was about
even. Smith was down for a count
of seven in the third, and took a
count of eight in the fifth. Car
pentier finished his work in the
eighth with a left and right hook to

The French seemed anxious for
a prompt knockout. He fought

might have been taken advantage OF
by a clever opponent. Carpenter

Ninth Inning Victories
Feature League Battles

scoring three runs in the first and
one in the third, and stayed out in
front until the ninth when Newport
scored two runs and Won out.
Bob" Bowman, who created a
sensation in the Dauphin- Perry in
1915 while on the mound for Mil
lersburg and who has been clubbing
the ball hard and playing first this
year in great fashion, essayed to
pitch for Millersburg. His work was
high class throughout and with bet
ter support from his teammates,
would have won his game. While
ten hits were made off his delivery,
all were we'll scattered. Only five
men were famed by him, but New
port was forced to drive many balls
to the infielders.
Bowman, who had been leading
the league at bat, featured the con-
test with his hard clubbing by secur-
ing trio of safeties, half of the total
collected by his teammates.
Lefty" Wertz, on the mound for
Newport, confined to work in the
sensational manner that he has
shown in several previous games.
But six hits were secured off his
delivery and they were kept we'll
with him, except in the first inning
when he was somewhat unsteady and
walked several batters. Ten Millers-
burgians were retired on strikes.
Newport Ficlded Well
The Newport team played a sterl-
ing fielding game, handling many
difficult chances without a iniscue
in the nine innings of play. Millers-
burg did some good fielding work
as well, but was somewhat unsteady
at critical moments.
The pitching of the two hurlers
was the outstanding feature as were
the clubbing of Bob" Bowman, for
Millersburg, and Ken" Kepner for
Newport. Each had a trio of safe
ties. Wallower, a youngster in right
field for Millersburg, brought the
crowd to it's feet when he made a
sensational onehanded stab of a line
drive. The lineup and summaries.

formerly on the staff of the Newport
team of the DauphinPerry was on
the mound for Duncannon, and was
bumped hard by Marysville. Strick-
er's defeat on Saturday was his sec
ond in three starts, Newport bumped
him for ten hits and victory in his
debut, but on Saturday, July 10, he
held Millersburg to six hits and
scored a shutout.
Marysville hitters jumped all over
Stricker's delivery and drove out ten
safeties in the nine rounds of play,
in addition to which three men were
safe on bases on balls. But four
batters were retired on strikes by
Stricken.
Biever Goes Strong
Harry Biever, forty-year- old
Marysville hurler, was just as good
as he was twenty years ago and had
! Duncannon clubbers buffaloed
throughout the contest. Six hits were
scored off his delivery, but they were

contest. Four men gained their bases
on balls, but double that number
were retired on strikes.

into deep center. Another run was
scored in the sixth.
Marysville started her scoring in
the seventh when Ellenberger was
safe on an infield hit. He stole sec
ond and went to third on Rutter's
sacrifice, after Gerdes had been re-
tired. He came home a moment
later with Marysville's first run when
Captain Moore singled. The tying
run was scored in the eighth when
7. Iightner worked Stricken for four
balls, stole second and went to third
on Killinger's infield out. He scored
a moment later when Harry Biever
, drove the horsehide into left field,
fifteen feet back of thirdbase. Biever
advanced to third and was credited
with a three-base hit while Duncan

ball He died there when Stees was
out. The game was iced in the ninth
on successive hits by Ellenberger,
Gerdes and Rutter.
The work of Harry Biever feat

sterling work on the mound. already

of the ten hits collected by the
Marysville contingent. Paul Ellen

WORLDS CHAMP
fHASHARD BATTLE
Johnny Kilbane to Meet Joe
Fox, English Boy at Phila-
delphia, Monday July %

Philadelphia, July 21.-The first
International boxing match that has
been staged in this country in sew
eral years is down for decision at
the Philadelphia National League
Baseball Park, next Monday night.
with the principals Joey Fox, the
featherweight champion of England
and Johnny Kilbane, the worlds title
holder.
While the match has been made at
catchweights it will really be
championship battle inasmuch as
neither of the two main actors Will
scale above the featherweight limit.
Kilbane is in Philadelphia putting on
the finishing touches to his training
at philadelphia" Jack O'Brien's s
/ gymnasium while Fox is keeping on
edge at Hermann's studio. Both re-
port as bein gready to step into the
ring right now and the loser Will
not have the consolation of being
able to give lack of condition as an
alibi. Yesterday kilbane weighed
125 pounds and Fox just teetered the
scales when the mark was set 12o
pounds.
Kilbane Is Silent
Fox is satisfied that he has a per-
sdect defense against any of the cham
pion's piledriving blows and is now
engaged in perfecting an attack with
which he hopes to land the honors.
kilbane is not saying anything Tor
publication, but from the way he is
conscienciously preparing himself 1t
is evident that he does not underrate
the Englishman.
Kilbane and Fox will be preceded
by four bouts which look 10 be full
of fight, at least on paper. JACK
Dempsey, when the latter was train
ing for his fight with Willard will
meet Kid Norfolk. Norfolk has an
idea that he can beat the champion
and as a first step towards recogni-
ton from Dempsey he intends to put
over the X. o. on the Jamaica Kid.
A bout which is sure to be full or
action is the one scheduled between
Max Williamson and Battling Leon
ard. They have been bitter rivals
for several years and their bout Will
undoubtedly be a fast one. Cal De-
laney, the Celeveland light weight
who is kilbane's sparring partner,
is down for six rounds with Joe
Welsh of Philadelphia, and the open
ing bout will be between Willie Han
non and Whitley Fitzgerald.
