ASKS Commission
Be COUNTED OUT
Hurley Would Also Remove
License From Jersey Fight
Club After Fiasco.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-Joseph +.
Hurley, father of the New Jersey box
ing law, today says that he favors the
removal of the present boxing com
mission and the revocation of the
Newark Sportsmen's Clubs license as
result of the outrageous manner in
which the fans were handled at last

should be removed and more compe-
tent men put in these important posi-
tions, said Hurley. Chairman John
Smith has shown undue interest, he
explained, in the arranging Of bouts
and purses of the Nawark clubs
shows. The sssemblyman asserts
that the Hurley law Is all right in it
self. but that undesirable promoters
and officials make the law ineffective.
The removal of the undesirables, says
Hurley. cannot be performed with the
present boxing commission in power.
II the commission cannot be reformed
he favors the repeal of the law.
NEW YORK. July 3O.-Adam Empie.
secretary of the International Sorting
Club, yesterday announced that the
total receipts at the bouts Of the
Newark Sportsmen's Club last Mon
day night were S97.212.5O. In ac-
counting for the confusion and con-
gestion at the armory where the con-
tests took place Mr.. Empie declares
that the 1000 members of the Inter
national Sporting Club, for whom
seats were reserved, nearly all were
occupied by the proper holders. En-
pie added
when the confusion at the main en-
trance caused a congestion we stopped
the sale Of tickets. with 1.437 unsold.
There were seats for all of these
tickets, but they were in the further
end of the armory. The crowding in
side of the entrance prevented many
of the seat holders getting to their
seats. This proves conclusively that
the house was not oversold, but that
the contrary was the case"

mound victory over Red Oldham, 2

PITCHING WAS GOOD.
Shaw and Oldham pitched wonder
fully in that opening game, working
themselves out of holes repeatedly
1t was tough luck for the big south
paw TO lose. but somebody had to win
and Shaw succeeded. thanks to Rice's
drive into the right field bleachers.

Tigers never again saw the plate.
Indeed, during the next nine frames
no Tiger reached second. showing the
effectiveness of Shaw.
The Griffs came close to scoring in
the third on Mc4ride's single and
Shaw's double. but Judge famed and
Milan popped to Bush. So 1t was not
until the fifth that the tally was tied

The Griffs were helpless before Old

Sam Rice. in four trips to the plate
had failed to shove the ball beyond

shot high toward the right field end
of the big bleacher in center, disap-
pearing among the amazed hoi polli.
That one wallop defeated the Tigers.
Courtney started the second amid
a light shower which came and went

1t kept the fans running back for
shelter and then scarmbling back into
the boxes, but the athletes toiled on
to the bitter end.
A walk to Heilman, McBride's error
singles by Stanage and Dauss and a

DESCHANEL FAILS TO
RECOVER QUICKLY
Establishment of Vice Presi-
dency Discussed,

PARIS. July 12.-The state Of Presi-
dent Deschaners health has revived
talk in the parliamentary Hobbies of the
necessity OF taking measures to meet
the possibility Of a prolonged inability
of the president through illness to dis
charge the duties OF his office.
Immediately after the accident which
befell the president recently ii was
proposed to create the office Of vice
president, which does not exist under
the French constitution, but the idea
was abandoned, as President Descha-
ncFs period Of convalesCence then
seemed likely to be short.
This hope has not been realized
however. and the parliamentarians are
again discussing the situation, which
would arise II the president were forced
to remain long absent from Paris,
especially at a time when so many i'm
portNnt questions Of foreign policy are
under discussion. If an ad interim
presidency were entrusted to a vice
president II would necessitate the meet
ing of the national assembly in joint
session in the senate chamber at Yer
sailles. just as If President Deschanel
had resigned.
Among the names mentioned in the
lobby as possibilities for vice president
are those OF Premier Millerand, Leon
Bourgeois. Charles Jonnart Raoul Pc
ret, Georges Leygues and Gen. de Cas-
telnau.

POLITICIANS BARRED
FROM WORLD COURT

THE HAGUE. July 1.-THE follow
ing decision has been reached on Sc
lection of judges for the permanent
court of international justice by the
conference Of jurists appointed to draft
a plan for the court.
THE position Of judge on the per
manent court of international justice
must not be assigned to any one dis
charging political duties, whether ma
tional or International. No one who
is a member of a government or a
representative in the council or assem-
bly, of the league of nations should at
the same time be a judge of the in
ternational court. Selection of a dis
tinguished judge, university parsonage,
or eminent ex- parlamentarian not sub
ject to these disqualifications would, it
is believed, meet with public approval. -
The conference also decided that the
selection of judges should be made by
the council and assembly of the league
of nations to which also was assigned
to duty of filling any vacancies which
might arise. Judges would be appoint
ed for term of nine years, as would
those chosen to fill vacancies,

ed with a covering letter by Sir n.

says is being gradually mitigated' and
will abate when peace has been re-
stored and the presence OF foreigners IN

more civilized treatment of their near

The report declares massacres OF
Jews in Poland were not pogroms, or
state superintended ana authorized
slaughterings. but were manifestations
popular animous on the part of iEnor-
ant men. misled in many instances by
men Of education In many cases the
report says the police participated in
acts OF aggression against Jews.
Sir II. Rumbolds covering letter
says that bad as the condition of
the Jews in Poland may nave been or
may still he 1t is far better than that
in surrounding countries.

Pure face powder cannot injure the
most delicate baby skin. The trouble
is, too many powders are made in the
old fashioned way with rice powder.
Rice powder is starchy. and, like bread
flour. it is quickly turned into a gluey
paste by the moisture Of the skin. This
paste clogs the cuticle. swels in the
pores, causing enlarged pores, black
heads and pimples. A specialist makes
a harmless powder by using an ingred-
