BOARD SETTLES
DISPUTE AS To
FIGHT ENDING
Announces That Only "a Seconds
of Rest Period Had Expired
After Third Round.

New York, July 1.-THE board
Of boxing control, in an official
statement issued last night, an
nounced that but Al seconds of the
third rest period had elapsed in
the Dempsey-Willard bout when
Wizards seconds tossed a towel
into the ring as a token of defeat
The board also decided that the
bout at Toledo on July ended in
the third round. These decisions
were made as a result OF numer-
GUS inquiries received from ali
parts of the country.
The statement, which was sign
ed by Adam Empie, secretary of
the board, is as follows:
"A report having been widely
circulated that W. Warren Bar
bour, timekeeper appointed by this
board for the Wil,ard-Dempsey
contest. had written To Mr. Pecord,
the referee, stating that the inter
val of one minute between the third
and fourth rounds had expired be-
fore Wizards seconds threw 3
towel into the ring, l beg to state
that Mr.. Barbour has written no
such letter. and further that the
statement reported to be contained
in the alleged letter is contrary to
the fact, as only Al seconds had
expired in the interval referred to
when the signal of defeat was
given by Wizards seconds.
The board is in no way con-
cerned with wagers that have been
made on the contest. but as a
number of inquiries have been re-
ceiVed, it has considered the ques-

WOULD BAR BOXERS
AFTER AGE OF 35

New York. July 15.-There is a
growing sentiment anon & those
who have the best interests OF the
boxing game at heart that an age
limit should be placed on boxers.
The outcome OF the Willard-Demp-
sey and the Jeffries-Johnson af-
fairs has shown the futility of men
trying to fight for championships
when they are untitled by pro-
longed ring activity and by age.
This is a question which will soon
er or later come before the army,
navy and civilian board of boxing
control, which aims 10 readjust
conditions governing the sport in
this country.
1t is advocated that the boxing
commissions OF the different states
where the sport is permitted should
make a rule barring boxers who
reach the age of 35 years. In many
cases it would be advisable 10
make the age limit even lower.

GLEASON TRIBE
FINDS RED SOX
SOFT PICKINCS
Babe Ruth Lands Out a Couple of
TwO-Baggers, But They Don't
Count Anything.

Chicago, July 15.-Boston' Red
Sox didn't make any spIurge at all
yesterday at Comiskey park. Babe
Ruth, of course, hit a couple of
t. aggers, but Bill Gleason had
oL1 I his two aces on the slab
and even fhe two two-baggers of
Ruth didn't make an impression
upon him. His mates were whal-
ing the Boston pitcher all over the
lot, and the Sox won comfortably
and most satisfactorily to 8. AS
the New York Yanks took another
trimming over in Detroit, the Sox
are sitting back today with a firm
er hold than ever on first place.
1t was Claude Williams, south
paw curve artist, who did the slab
bling for the Sox, and he's proved
himself a master against stronger
opponents than Boston. Claude
never had much to worry about
during the combat. The enemy
nicked him for a run in the first
round, but his mates got it back
Immediately. Then in the fourth
the Sox made a rush for it and
knocked home FIVE tallies. After
that the game was a bore to Mr..
Williams, but the south siders
knocked in a few more for prac-
tice.
One Sam Jones, experienced and
clever in big league ways, did the
hurting for the visitors and might
have made quite a close battle of it
if it hadn't been for Eddie Collins
and Happy F'elsch. Those two
sluggers of the south side crew
wrecked his ambitions, aspirations,
and everything.
Eddie knocked in three runs, and
Hap knocked in a couple, and that,
with a couple knocked in by Schalk
and one driven home by Jackson,
made it an abominable day for the
Boston pitcher.
In the fourth round, soon after
Schalk had driven home two runs
with a single, Eddie Collins poled
a home run with two fellows on the
runway. After that blow by Eddie,
the game was sewed up and sailed
down and put on ice, and every
thing else that makes a thing sure.
Mr.. Jones stuck to the job to the
finish, but he wasn't comIoFLaDle-
A lot of people went out just to
see Ruth swat the ball, so he had
to make good However, those
same patrons enjoyed it immensely
in the fourth inning, when the game
was close and Boston had a runner
on second with one out, and Ruth
famed. The big Boston slugger
simply shook his head and walked
to the bench after taking a home
run swing at the ball and missing.
Probably his admirers enjoyed that
more than anything he could have
done.
However, later on Ruth showed
them how the ball can be hit to
the fence by polling couple OF
doubles against Comiskey's right
field wall. The wall wasn't dam
aged any according to the ground

CUBS VICTORS
IN TILT WITH
Braves, 5 TO 3
Even Break in the Luck Gives the
Second Game of Series to
MftcheIImen.

Boston, Mass, July 15.-Wfth an
even break in the luck yesterday
the Cubs won the second game of
their campaign here, 5 to 8, al
though there was a time when it
looked as if Hippo Vaughn could
not finish
The Mitchells got busy early in
the matinee and hammered Al De-
maree SO hard he was withdrawn
by the pinch hitter route after four
tallies had been knocked out of
him in six innings. Larry Cheney,
also a former Cub. tried himself
out in the last three rounds, and
was hit hard, but for only one
more counter.
Vaughn restrained the Braves
with marked success for five
spasms, during which only two of
them reached first base and nobody
ventured farther.
In the fifth, however, Hippo be-
gan to waver and dug a hole for
himself with two bases on balls.
He yanked himself out of that sit
uation brilliantly without letting a
run count.
In the seventh Vaughn's support
blew out a couple of times and the
Braves scored all theiE runs off
him. There were a few more anx-
ious moments in the ninth, when
Mitchell had a couple of Cubs
warming up frantically, but bone
headed base running by Heating,
who was sprinting for Hero Gowdy,
helped the Cubs to stop the final
rally.
The game was poorly played on
both sides and all the slips were
costly. Demaree, who started the
scrap, perpetrated most of the mis-
deeds of which a pitcher is capa-
BILE, including a baIk. Killefer and
HoIIocher failed Hippo in the dan
gerous seventh and Flack lost a
pop fly in the sun in the sixth
when Vaughn first showed signs of
needing help. But a boot by Rig
CERT and poor play by Thorpe in
left Offset all the damage the Cubs
slips did.
HoIIocher walked and stole sec
ond with one out in the opener.
Magee scored him with a single,
took second on a wild pitch and
third. Demaree's balk let Fred to
third. but he was left there by a
couple of pop flies.
Demaree stopped his former pals
until the fourth, when Pick led
with a single over second, and Rig
CERT let it roll through him far
enough to permit Charles to go
clear around the bases with a run.
Pick and Thorpe were RESPONSE
BILE for the fourth Cub tally. Charles
hoisted a little fly back of third
and Thorpe tried for it on the fly,
but could not connect and before
Jim could reverse his levers Pick
was on third Thorp then muhed
Deals fly, but was long enough to
have scored Pick anyway. Cheney
was tagged for two hits in the sew
enth, but these, aided by Flacks
steal, counted the fifth tally for US.
