DOWNEY-
BOUT UNDER FIRE.
Jersey Commission Summons
Boxers to Explain Labor
Day Fiasco
TEX RICHARD IS INDIGNANT

The New Jersey Boxing Commission
has supboenaed Johnny Wilson and
Bryan Downey and their managers to
appear at its meeting in Jersey City
today and tell all they know about the
lstless exhibition given by the middle
weights at Boyle's Thirty Acres, in
Jersey City. on Labor Day.
Charles McNair. Of the commission
who instructed Tex Rickard to with Z.
hold Wilson's guarantee, IL determined
to get at all the details connected with
Wilson's poor showing against Downey
regardless Of consequences. In this Nc
Nair is ably seconded by Charles
Lyons, a fellow member Of the com
mission.
Every man connected with both fight
ers in any business capacity will be
examined by the Commissioners in an
effort to ascertain If any undue in
fluence was brought to bear on Wilson
or others in his training camp. Nc
Nair said today that the investigation
will be thorough one and II any one
Is found guilty of unfair practices he
will be dealt with severely.
Just what action the commission will
take in regard to Wilson is problemati-
cal. The champions guarantee OF
S35 ,000--which was the bait which
enticed Wilson into the ring instead OF
the 35 per cent Of the gross receipts
as was originally announced when the
match was closed--has been ordered
withheld pending the outcome Of the
hearing.
It is regarded as extremely probable
that the commission will. in the end,
order release Of Wilson's guarantee
but strong reprimand. with the pros
pect of being indefinitely barred from
bouts in New Jersey, may be in store
for him.
Whether Wilson ever will be permit =
ted to box in New York State Is a
question. He and Downey are now
under the official ban as a result of
their bout at Cleveland last July.
Promoter Rickard waxed indignant
when the subject was broached to him.
He regarded the spectacle as q reflection
on his matchmaking ability which prob
ably would affect future title bouts and
as an imposition on the patrons OF
boxing who paid for the privilege of
witnessing the bout.
The promoter committed himself TO
an eternal prohibition on Wilson, say
ing he never again would promote n
bout with Wilson as participant.

Shows Splendid For min Defeating
Frankie BrItton

Tommy Loughran. Of Mt. Carmel G.
G.. showed surprising and improved
form in defeating frankie Britton, Of
Southwark. In an eight round bout at
the Eleventh Street Arena last night.
Loughran's best punch was a right
hand uppercut inside. THE and again
Tommy shot back Britton's head with
this wallop.
Britton continually bored In and he
tried hard for knockout. While he
connected several times with hard
punches, frankie was unable to score
with an erective blow. Loughran dis
played splendid footwork, a fine assort :
ment Of punches and also that he is a
cool boxer.
In the semi final Eddie Dempsey, Of
Southwark, was winner over Bushy
Casper, Of Smoky Hollow. in a bat
lie that bristled with action. Rap
Mitchell stopped frankie Palmer in the
first, Mickey Dorr was n winner in the

MONTGOMERY co. MINES
ARRANGE FOR PLAY-0FF
First Of Three Game Series at Lans-
dale Saturdsy-Bradley Jumps

The Montgomery County Baseball
League 1921 title will be decided in n
three game play off between Lansdale
and Doylestown. which finished the
regular season in tie with sixteen
wins and four defeats. Both clubs won
from the other twice and by singu-
lar coincidence both were beaten once
by Chestnut Hill and Conshohocken.
The reason advanced for the three
game series is that "Chief' Nick Brad
ley. the Indian hurler who pitched all
but three of Doylestown's games, jump
ed the club yesterday and went to Nor
folk. Va. This leaves all the work to
young Longacre. the eighteen year old
pitching sensation. Lansdale has four
stars in "Cy" Mellinger, George Bat
ten. Rube Chambers and Reds"
Weinert.
The first game will be played at
Lansdale on Saturday. the following
week the scene will shift to Doylestown,
and third game. If necessary, will be
played either at Norristown or Amber.
Doylestown Is certainly in a bad wav
for pitchers. but the league rules forbid
any other men participating and senti
ment will be with young Longacre to
pull through with win.

WHY He GAVE UP NUMBERS
School Superintendent Had to Have
Personal Experience of Objection
ableness of His System.

In indianapolis there is certain
school superintendent who used to re-
fuse to call any Of the people under
him by their names. He said that II
was too much trouble to learn them
and that numbers were much more
convenient, anyway. But now he has
dropped the number habit and takes
the time and trouble to learn every
new employees name and uses il ac-
cordingly. But only a few of his most
intimate friends know the reason for
his change.
At one time he was confined in hos
pital. He was very well known and
had much company One day when
alone he overheard the head nurse say
to the doctor: Now if you're ready
wen dress No. SIS arm next"
The number on the door Of his room
was No. 3, so he knew whom they meant
As he lay there he decided that since
a name appealed so much more to him
than number It might be the same
way with other people even his EN-
ployees. Hence his name system.

Here lies the pitiful remains of the

White In life he devoured l45 differ
ent kinds of bad insects and the seeds
of l29 noxious weeds. For the smaller
pests of the farm he was the most
marvellous engine of destruction God
ever put together of flesh and blood.
He was good, beautiful, CHEEKY, game
and true and his small life was blame
less. And here he lies dead. snatched
away from his field of labor and des-
troyed in order that | may have a little

Our readers will be grattied to learn
that Gen. Amasa NJ Cobb has been
chosen Speaker of the assembly, now
in session at Madison.
The determination of Wise and few
of his stripe to come down on the city
of Washington with sufficient force to
take possession of the capitol is so
apparent that preparations are being
made for a proper defense. Military
companies are being formed and
equipped under the direction of Gen.
Scott, and the mayor of the city has
appointed a special police force four
thousand strong all good men and true
to the constitution and laws. The
troops of Fort Leavenworth are
probably ere this in possession of Fort
McHenry, near Baltimore A detach-
ment has been placed in charge Of
Fort Washington, Ia niles below
Washington on the Potomac. Citizens
of Washington generally are loyal to
the Union and ready to lend their aid
in preserving peace and harmony.
