NEW YORK, July 1s.-In . letter
addressed to Frederick w. Ruben,

Thompson. former athletic omcer c.
the Sd Army, who v'>F sent here by
Gen. Pershing to take back tS France
the team Of Army athletes selected by
the Amateur Athletic Union. gives
some very interesting information
about the performances of some OF the
menbers Of the team, and also gives
reasons why certain athletes who
were expected to score failed to do 80.
Although the events which he writes
about were held over three weeks ago,
still the Information about the men
n news here, as full details were not
carried in the cabled reports.
For instance, Col Thompson writes
that Billy Moore, captain of the Har.
ward track team, who was looked
upon as a sure point winner IN the
two sprint events. pulled tendon
while competing in the final Of the
26O-meter dash in the tryouts. This
accounts for his failure to show In
the 100 and 200 meter events. but none
Of the reports coming from France
made any mention OF the fact that
he broke down.

ONE-LEGGED NET PLAYER.
Britisher Injured in War Con-
tinues in Tennis Doubles.

The spirit of a tennis player who
lost leg in battle, but continues to
play the game, despite his handicap.
has won great praise in England. OF
a match at Rochampton the, London
Times says:
Capt Hope Crisp, who did much
for the game at Cambridge, Lost a leg
In battle. He determined to keep up
golf and lawn tennis, and is playing
in the gentlemen's doubles and mixed
doubles. 1t was interesting to see
how he managed. He is a strong
volleyer and naturally half volleys
many balls which a two-legged play
err would drive.
"The artificial leg is the right; ac-
cordingly, service is fairly easy. When
there is no hurry he walks with fair
speed, approaching a run. At other
times he hops. His cheerful tempera-
ment makes the game a real pleas
ure to himself and others"

|EASY WIN FOR BR|!TON
Welter Champion Trims Ted Lewis
by Wide Margin in Eight
Round Bout.

JERSEY CITY, July 2s.-Ted (Kid)
Lewis did not knock Jack Britton
from under his welterweight crown
at the Armory A. A. last night. AS a
matter Of fact, Teddy did not even
tilt the crown to one side of Johns
noble dome. Britton won by a clear
margin on points in every round but
the first. In that round Lewis made
a whirlwind attack which surprised
Britton completely. He went on the
defensive and covered until Lewis had
fought himself dizzy.
When Britton did come out from
his shell he seemed q bit WOODY. He
spent the remainder Of the round in
keeping Lewis at bay. That was
Lewis best round, and here he did the
best fighting, except in the last min
ute of the eighth round. when Lewis
duplicated his first minute attack.
After the first Lewis was play
thing for Britton's hands. The cham
pion hooked repeatedly with stin
lefts and occasionally took a free
right-han chop to the Englishman's
jaw. Lewis simply couldn't get away
from the left nor pass It, and was
fensive. The fifth round gave the best
fighting. Britton then Jared and
ripped and gave the Britisher . clever
pasting.
There wasn't q semblance Of q
knockdown, nor were the men cut in
any way. A big crowd saw the bout,
and the capacity Of $500 was realized
long before the men entered the ring.
Az early az $3.50 o'clock they were
refusing further pafd admissions.
The men fought in an open arena.
Spectators crowded neighboring roofs
and houses to get a glimpse Of the
battlerS.
Britton and Lewis will have . TWEEN
ty-first meeting In Montreal at the
end Of next month. according to an
announcement made by Maj. Bill
Gordon, who said the bout had been
sanctioned by the government and
that the returns would be given to

MACK REFUSES SEVERAL
OFFERS FOR SCOTT PERRY

PHILADELPHIA. July 2s-Several
Of the clubs now hghting for the
American League championship have
made several indirect offers to the
Athletics for Scott Perry and . couple
of other players. but none Of these
men is to be sold. according to
Connie Mack last night. Mack said
that the Chicago White Sox had made
feelers for Perry, Offering as bait two
players and wad Of cash, but this
offer Mack declined. as he did those
coming from other teams now run
ming neck and neck in the A. l.
turmoil.
Mack said: They all want Perry,
but am not selling to any club now
in the fight for the championship
and will not help any Of them by
letting any of my men 60 at this
stage Of the game. I am having q
hard enough time to win ball games
with my present team, and X let
some of the best men go now 1t will
be more difficult to win a contest"
Z, Mack further said that he had pur-
chased Pitcher Bryan Harris and
Catcher Glenn Maeatt Of the Hous-
ton club, one of the star batteries
in the Texas League. The players
were secured by Ira Thomas. who is
scouting in the south.
Harris and Mayatt. Mack said. will
not Join his team until after the
Texas season closes and probably will
not be used by the Athletics this
year.

REAL MONEY PLAYERS
Red Sox Are Not Accustomed to
Being Far Out Of the
Kale.

The Red Sox, resting in sixth place
in the American League. threaten to
revolt II Carl Mays is traded or sold.
This is very interesting. No matter
how much the players revolt, they have
only little way to slip before they hit
the bottom, and 1t is doubtful II Connie
Mack's club win permit any other outfit
to dispossess 1t. Talk Of revolving,
therefore, seems futile. II the Red Sox
do as they threaten. It WIN be an expo
sition Of jealousy more than real OUT
burst against permitting Mays to quit
the club Just because It is not going
with its old vigor and success. The
Red Sox are not accustomed to being
SO far out Of the money, and life for
them these days is irksome. All Of the
players, we venture, would like to be
traded to the White Sox, the Yankees,
or even the Clevelands, for the clubs
which finish one, two, three all will
share in the world series money next
fall. As has been demonstrated time
money players. But as tor that revolt,
it il to laugh. We have It that Ed Bar
row has permission to trade any man on
the club. with the exception OF Ruth,
Hooper and Scotland some. like Jack
Barry, might find themselves staying in
the second division.
Conditions on the Boston club demon
strate in striking way the depths to
which q one-time great club may fall.
Once this fall begins 1t is very hard to
stem. 1t Is true that the Red Sox are
shy on pitchers. that they need another
outhelder and that they could use an
other first class infelder. But the team
has no license to be where 1t Is. It is
plain that the poor standing Of the Red
Sox is due in great measure to the
mental attitude Of the players. That.
together with the little internecine
squabbles which have marked Barrows
managerial regime this season. has put
the team on the slids. 1t looks like a
good time for Harry Frazee to obltge
Ban johnson and sell himself out OF the
American League. It will take . lot Of
money to revamp the Red Sox SO as to
make winning combination out OF
them. Then, again. Boston appears to
have soured on the powers that be at
Fenway Park. Report has 1t that Jack
Barry is lying low. waiting Tor q call
back to manage the club. He has for
midable backing, which is working with
might and main to dislodge Barrow.
Barrow Is a fighter. and. unlike Lee
Folll, is not likely to send in his res
ignation because he feels that GER
tain coterie of fans Is not behind him.
Frazee is strong for Barrow. so the
situation points to continued turbu-
lence at Fenway Park and unsettled
conditions on the Boston Americans
