Yesterday he was taken around to

Actor Boyd Says Baseball Mans
Language Before Woman
Caused Fight.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE fight
at the Lambs Club early Sunday
ormning. which resulted in John J.
McGraw being accompanied to his
homo in a taxi cab by Winfield LIS
gett, a former navy officer. and John
c. Slavin. a retired musical comedy
director. and the latter receiving a
probable fracture of the. skull in
front of the home of the Tateran
baseball manager, was caused by Nc
Graw using language in the presence
Of a cha-woman which was resented
by William H. Boyd, an GctoI, who
played roles in Our Mrs. McChes-
ney," and "A Kiss For Cinderella" !"
according to Boyd.
This story Of the fray was obtained
from Detective Fitzgerald, one OF the
trio working on the case, after he
had interviewed Boyd and learned
from him that he was the actor with
whom McGraw engaged in fstic
bout at the Lambs. According to
Fitzgerald, Boyd said scrubwoman
was mopping the floor near where
McGraw and his party were seated at
a table and the manager OF the
Giants was using words not generally
spoken in the presence OF woman.
McGRAw CATCHES TARTAR.
Boyd told the detective he remon-
strated with McGraw and the latter
became sore and retaliated by lunging
at him, whereupon Boyd. who Is con-
sidered an excellent boxer by his
friends, got in a few blows to better
advantage than the baseball player.
A half dozen members of the club
who were in the grillroom when the
fracas started quickly separated the
two and one member started to lead
Boyd away from the room.
While Boyd's back was turned,
McGraw, who was being soothed by
Liggett and Slavin, broke away from
his friends and landed a blow back
of Boyd's neck, the actor said.
Another battle ensued, in the course
of which the manager OF the Giants
received a black eye, a mark upon
his nose and other bruises. All who
witnessed the battle, and who were
interviewed by the detective agreed
that Boyd got distinctly the better
OF the encounter.
That these were substantially the
facts in the encounter In the club grill
was testified to by member in close
touch with the invstgation being
conducted by the house committee.
At the hospital Slavin, whose name
in private life Is Jacob Miller, was

.H0PEU.S.N NOTE
SWINGS ALLIES
May Prevent Further Conces-
sions to Soviet, Belief Of
Officials Here.

With the position OF the United
States In. the Russo-Polish situation
clearly set forth in the note 20 Baron
Camille Romano Ave1zana, the Itali
an ambassador, officials here today
were awaiting indications from Eu-
rope as to the effects OF the note.
HOPE FOR THE ALLIED POLICY.
Some changes in policy by the
allies were hoped for by officials
here. particularly in those policies
which would tend to show a disposi-
tion to make concessions to Soviet
Russia.
President Wilson and Secretary Of
State Colby have left no doubt that
this Government does not intend to
recognize or give any concessions to
soviet Russia, although they state that
The United States maintains unim-
paired it's faith in the Russian people,
in their high character and their flu
ture'
The United States will not partici-
pate in any general peace conference
with Soviet Russian. This is made
plain in the note to the Italian am
bassador, officials pointed out. This
is in direct opposition to the efforts
of Lloyd George to arrange peace
conference with the Soviet govern
ment.
While some of the allied leaders are
striving to negotiate with Russia on
the basis of recognition, the United
States declares:
with the desire OF the allied
powers to bring about a peaceful so
luton OF the existing difficulties in
Europe. this Government Is, OF course.
in hearty accord, and will support
any justifiable steps to that end. 1t
is unable to preceive, however, that
recognition of the Soviet regime
would promote. much less accomplish,
this object, and 1t is, therefore,
averse to any dealings with the So
Wet regime beyond the most mar
row boundries to which a discussion
of an armistice can be confined"
APPEALS TO RUSS MASSES.
President Wilson is employing the
same methods with Russia which he
employed with Germany, officials
pointed out. He is appealing to the
Russian people and ignoring the re-
gime, which he feels does not rep
resent the great mass OF the Russian
people.
The President advocates that Bo!-
shevism be attacked by befriending,
and after declaring that assurance
must be given the Russian people
that their national territory will be
left intact, the note declares:
Thus only can the Bolshevik
regime be deprived of Its false but ef-
fective appeal to Russian nationalism
and compelled to meet the inevitable
challenge of reason and self respect

that the Democratic leaders should

same legislators who gave a majority
for Presidential suffrage last year
