RINGsIDE. JERSEY CITY. n. j.
Sept. Bryan Downey. Of Cleveland
and Johnny Wilson, of Boston, fought
70 tame and undressing rounds in
their bout here this afternoon to settle
their dispute over the worlds middle
weight championship. Under the New
Jersey law, no official decision was
permitted, but Wilson retained the
championship belt. the fight going the
limit. However, it was the opinion
of majority OF newspapermen and
fight experts at the ringside that
Downey won on points. He forced the
fighting in most of the rounds and
landed the cleanest blows
Wilson's performance was so un-
satisfactory to the New Jersey Box
ing Commission that they ordered Pro-
moter Tex Richard to hold his share
of the purse pending hearing.
When Wilson left the ring after the
bout he was booed loudly by the
crowd while Downey received round
of applause. There was not a semb-
lance of a knockdown at any time
during the fight. Wilson fell into a
clinch at every opportunity and landed
few hard blows on his opponent
appeared to have had the bet
ter OF four rounds. three went to VIII
son and the others were even.

Pensacola finally broke the jinx that
the miliionaires from Brewton have
had over them, winning the last game
Of the series played by the score OF

Ties seen here in quite a while.
Screech Nelson and Old Man Jack
were on the mound for the teams.
Both hurled superb ball, only three
hits being made of both pitchers, but
the ola master was stronger, for he
sent no less than thirteen men back
TO the showers while Nelson only
sent four. Ryan gave up two bases
on balls and Nelson four. Nelson
really lost the game when he let a
throw from Farrior get away from
him.
The game was interesting all the
way through and was featured by
good plays that brought the fans to
their feet time after time. Joe Roger
playing left field for the Millionaires
made a wonderful one hand catch,
running back to the fence and robbing
McMurrRy Of a double. Fish also
pulled down a line drive from Judy's
bat and Jones backed up against the
fence and caught Old Man Jacks high

but the big soldier sent the ball over
to Lars who had Jenkins i've feet.
Both Teams Score In Seventh.
The seventh was the lucky inning
for both teams--Royer led Off for
Brewton with single to right, Cali

scored when Sanchez booted Fish's

COTTON MEN DISCUSS
POLICY OF TARIFF

Philadelphia, May 28.-The Am
erican Cotton Manufacturers as
sociation at it's closing session today
adopted resolution favoring what
ever tariff policy congress decides
upon as essential to the welfare of
this country. Resolutions were
adopted urging the necessity for a
permanent self contained coal tar
industry to guard against a possible
repetition of the plight in the Am
ercan textile industry found itself
at the outbreak of the war.
In his annual address President
Allen F. Johnson said no one antici-
pated the disturbances experienced
during the last year.
"While all know higher prices
could not continue indefinitely" he
declared. "It was hoped and rather
expected that liquidation would be
gradual and extend over a period of
years that the decline when it came
would be an orderly retreat and not
a rout."

Mahon has been in the South fol-
several weeks, most of the time can.
vassing the various textile centers
and investigating wage reductions.
President Golden also spent consid.
cradle time in the South during the
last five or six weeks. -.
Mr.. Mcmahon declared today
that reductions have averaged about
so to IS per cent. and in many cases
have been much more drastic. There
is absolutely no reason for these
reductions" Mr.. Mcmahon declared,
adding that in his Investigations he
has gathered data on the cost of pro-
duction of various types of goods
manufactured in the mills and has
figures to show that the reductions
in wages were without justification.
More than 100000 mill opera
lives in North Carolina alone will
be affected by the strike order, Mr..
Mcmahon said. Not all of these are
ordered but he expressed absolute
confidence that the unorganized
