Rickard has resigned as match
maker of. the newly organized Inter
national Sporting Club and Maj. An
thony J. Drexel-Biddle is also under
stood to have withdrawn from the
club, which Is now planning to stage
the Fred Fulton-Harry Wills contest
on July 20.
Rickard. directing his own club,
plans to clean up the boxing condi-
tions surrounding many titles
TEX RICHARD TALKS.
T believe" said Rickard in speak
ing of the arrangement. that the
thing most necessary in pugilism in
this country is general clearing up
of titles. Champions in all classes
should be brought into public notice
with a defense of their titles. Benny
Leonard and Johnny Wilson in partic-
ular should get in front of the public
with real fights. ] shall try to put
them on.
Madison Square Garden was idle
nearly 200 days out of a year" he
said. "But l intend that the building
shall not be idle one day., 1t will be
opened to meetings, the horse show,
circus and bicycle races as heretofore.
Boxing matches within the law VIII
be held there, except when the other
events are occupying the Garden.
"Of course it will have to undergo a
thorough renovation" he continued.
"The roof garden and auditorium will
also be improved. I intend to stage
the biggest fights there, as well as
marathon races, tennis matches, polo
and indoor baseball in the winter. /
will also try to secure the contestants
in the Olympic games to appear at
the Garden and give the people of
this city an opportunity to enjoy clean
sports. ... ..., ......
CIRCUS WILL REMAIN.
"The circus. which comes to the
Garden for a months stay, will be
given it's lease for the next nve
years. Nothing but the best boxing
matches will be staged in the Garden
on the membership plan" '
Rickard is confident he will make
the Garden a paying proposition.
81 was given the laugh when
staged the Johnson-Jeffries night" he
said. but made little money out
Of it.
"Im hot on the trail Of the Carpen-
ier-Dempsey match" said the pro-
tnoter, "and hope to bring them
here. l will go as high as anybody
else to stage this fight"
In addition to these Bouts there is
Dempsey's first fight. Rest assured
that Rickard will bid high for this,
whether the match brings the cham
pion against Bill Brennan or some
one else. Rickard is inclined to lean
toward Billy Miske, the man who put
up the strongest fight against the
champion before he gained his title.

RUTH PROVES BUST.
ANDL0SES TEMPER
Urban Shocker and Carl We'll.
man Tame Mighty Murderer
of Fingers.

Thirty-eight thousand eight hun
dred and twenty-three baseball fans
went to the Polo grounds yesterday
TO see Babe Ruth hit at least one
home run and possibly equal the slug
eing record which he established last
year.
The great king Of batsmen sat high
on his throne and brandished his. bat
like an awe-inspiring scep.re. His
t6useled head was in the cloudy. and
a smile was on his face. He Mas al
ready hit twentyseven home runs,
and he needed only two more to
equal his record OF last season. And
thirty-eight thousand eight hundred
and twenty-three fans-the largest
crowd which ever saw ganpe In New
York-had gone to the Polo grounds
to be present in imperishable moments
Of history making.
The stage was set for important
business. but 1t is a fact of fate that
this drama of the baseball stage had
an unhappy ending.
For Babe Ruth, the. king Of all
sluggers. forgot his lines AND
STRUCK OUT FIVE, TIMES in the
course of a double-header, which the
pennant-mad Yanks shared with the
st. Louis Browns. -
Three times the king struck out in
the first game, and the Browns won
that by the score of 6 to 4. And twice
in the second game he struck out,
but the Yanks won that, Z to ..
Urban Shocker pitched for the
Browns in the first game, and he
struck out fourteen Yankees. In the
second game Carl Weilman pitched.
and he famed seven, and throughout
the afternoon the fried scientists in
the press box were kept cool while
those in the stand sweitered by the
breezes created by the Yankee bats.
In the second game, after striking
out for the fifth time. the king threw
his bat to the ground in rage, picked
it up and then smashed that same
bludgeon Of destruction with which
he has driven out more home runs
than any other baseball player ever
made. 30
The smile which had illuminated
his face, disappeared after his first
two strike e-outs, and a serious, almost
savage expression. replaced it. He
put more and more power into the full
force Of his terrific swing. and con-
tinued to miss. He walked twice dur
ing the day, and on his last turn at
bat in the first game he singled. The
bases on balls which he got, however,
were not of a deliberate, compliment
tary nature, and when a severely
critical fan loudly urged Miller Hug
gins. the Yankee manager, to send a
pinch hitter in for him a faint flicker
Of a smile fingered into the corne RS
OF his mouth but. lost itself imme-
diately in a scowl and expression of
renewed carnestness. -r

 There will be no investigation of the strike for the present by the sen ate interstate commerce committee, Chairman Cummins announced today after receiving assurance at the White House that the railroad labor board would be appointed within 24 hours
 The inquiry was ordered by the Senate last week and was to have be- gun tomorrow with John Grunau, president of the Chicago Yardmen's Association as the first witness Sen ator Cumnlins said he desired to give the board an opportunity to see what it could accomplish toward settling the strike.
 In order that the board can begin work immediately. Senator Cummlns indicated that an amendment to the transportation act would be recom- mended assigning the board to sit in Washington for the present instead of Chicago. Senator Cumunins said considerable delay would result if the board had to establish offices in Chi cago.
 The senator declared that if the board were appointed now with the understanding that the grievances of the men would be heard the strike would be ended. The disturbance, he said, was nothing more than a pro- test by the railroad employees because the wage demands presented by them last summer have not been acted up- on.
 Senator Cumnins was accompanied to the White House by D. N. Doak, vice president of the Brotherhood Of Trainmen.
