1t may be necessary to make few
more rules for the championships
but the plan is to hold down as
much as possible on them. The
more rules sometimes the more mis-
understandings and the committee Is
concentrating on forestalling every
thing that could develop a kick once
the games are under way.
Entry blanks for the series will
be out by June ] and the rules
will be printed on them. The
sandIotters thus will have two
weeks to look 'em over carefully
and Ignorance Of the law" will
not be accepted as an excuse from
any team which may violate a
rule.
Trophies will be plentiful in the
series. In addition to a champion
ship cup for each class to be given
by The Washington Times there will
be others presented by commercial
concerns.
1t now apears that enough dia-
nnonds will be available to stage the
games properly although the situa-
ton looked black in early spring.
Several new fields solved the prob
lem.
Even this early It can be foreseen
that the championship races will be
close. No one team stands out IN
any class. Sandlot fans look for

PLAYERS continually hopping from

Fight Three Minute Rounds.

THE girls fought three-min-
ute rounds. AS they went
to their corners at the bell,
they were each attended by two
girls serving as seconds, who
gave them water, famed them
with towels, and rubbed their
legs with professional skill.
All the girls wore little short
kits. athletic shirts, and regular
boxing shoes. with their socks
rolled down to the tops of the
shoes. Around their heads they
wore a sort of caplike arrange
ment that covered their hair.
AS the fourth round of the
bout ended, the pretty little blonde
girl was staggering. Jack Kearns
had been watching the boxing
with managerial eye, and he noted
as did the other Americans pres
ent. that the girls did all theil

Kearns whispered something tc
Meyer, and Louis hastily rushed
around to the blonde girls cor,
ner and babbled German in hel
ear as she sat painting and dazec
on her stool. When the bel
sounded for the fifth round the
girl walked bravelv to the cen
ter of the ring. and as her op
ponent came tearing in the brond,
drove her left straight to tn,
others mid-riff.

IT did not know that Mister Frazee
was to become one of our owners un-
til after the papers We're signed and
seSled. His appearance n the Ameri-
can League came TO me as much of
cially astounding in view OF certain
conditions that were supposed to sur
round all sales and purchases OF vari-
Gus clubs In our league.

Scott to the New York Yankees pro-
voked from me a protest, one in
which / unhesitatinSiy denounced

ball. had no foreknowledga Of ary

constitution that could forestall any

being a party to any such transac-
ton Is doing me an injustice which
I feel l am warranted in publicly de-
nying.
Nobody deplores such conditions
any more than myself But at the
present time l cannot do anything.
Had the power that Judge Lands
possesses could take the matter
into my own hands, perhaps. with the
support and sanction of the club
owners and correct matters. But
this power does not lie within my
province"
MIR. Johnson also says that because
of his inability to prevent such
trades he cannot suffer in silence
when charges are made that he Is Of
ficially responsible for a condition
that aids New York to the detriment
of the other cities in the league. Mr..
Johnson frankly stated that he would
like to correct matters, and that he
aids in every possible way when the
opportunity presents.
In this connection he said that
the recent structures regarding the
sale Of Whitley witt to the Yam
KEGS bore rather heavily on him,

From what Walter said and
from what was said by DR.. Louie
Meyer, once partner of Jack
Curley in American wrestling en-
terprises. now a resident Of Ber-
lin. we had an idea that we were
to see a sort of burlesque on box
ing. This. too, was the impress
sion of Jack Dempsey. the worlds
heavyweight champion, and Jack
Kearns. his manager. who were
with the party.
Wherefore we smiled when a
dozen young women paraded in a
ring pitched in the middle of the
cafe floor, and we were all set
for a giggle as two of them
squared off with boxing gloves on
their hands, A moment later we
were all gasping with astonish-
ment as the girls came together
smashing away at each other with
astounding fury and amazing box
ing skill and precision.
We had seen women box be-
fore. We had seen some who box
eu 1dlTlN wen. NeneTdIly, now
ever. they were exhibition boxers
performing on the stage. These
Berlin girls were not merely box
ing. They were fighting. In two
rounds one of them, a pretty
blonde. who afterwards told us
she was sixteen years old. was
bleeding from the nose and mouth
and was sadly leg weary under the
punching of her more vigorous
opponent.

the world pulled out a big hand

He was breathing heavily.

Even Walter Rutt and Louie
Meyer seemed surprised, and il
developed that neither Of them
had been in the place before
They had merely heard of the
boxing girls. and had assumed
that their boxing was a travesty

Mister johnson likewise said that
he felt an injustice was done 10 him
to be held personally or officially
responsible for the acts Of Harry
III. Frazee in his relations with the
Paying COlonels OF New York, the
Messrs. Rupert and Huston. and
that he deplored this appearance Of
baseball that savOred OF syndicate

But Will Stick
To Golf

Despite the fact that he has
the kind of physique that fight
promoters are ever seeking, J.
Munro Hunter announces that
he would stick TO golf as a pro-
fessional.
Hunter has been signed as
professional at the Milwaukee
Country Club, after having been
located in Canada for a num-
ber of years. He is six feet
five and half inches in height,
scales at 225 pounds and has a
swing that would make even

team that is most feared by all
their rivals. who. as the natural
consequence. put forth their best
efforts to defeat them and to pull
them out OF the lead.
Still the McGraw clan are human
and they are just as liable to have
their ups and downs as are other
teams that are considered of less
prowess.
Star pitchers are held back for
the purpose of facing the New
Workers.. which is all right and
proper. The Giants road will not
be one OF ease. They will have
their troubles and trials as they
have had in st. Louis and Chicago.
The other fellows will not enter
games against the champions, say
ing: We'll, here we are. Hurry
and get at us, so we can have II

The credit the other teams gain
the prestige they get by defeat
ing the Giants is always an inspira-
ton that results in their playing
at top form.
All thumbs are down against
them in every city the Giants
visit. Why, the fans Of st. Louis
and Chicago went simply crazy
with delight whenever their IA
yOrites beat the Polo Grounders.
Baseball fandom out here in the
West seems to the writer to be more
interested in the game this season
than ever before, II that is possible.

"No indeed" said Rolando, earn

more pride in that respect than

Walter Rutt wagged his head
ominously over the female boxers,

said. Strange than this
country in which the old Kaiser

The spectators that saw the
boxing in the Palais de Friedrich
stadt did not seem enthusiastic
about the show. Men and women
sat at tables surrounding the ring
drinking beer. and watching the
girls with lack lustre eyes. You
could spot the Americans in the
crowd by the applause from their
tables. The Germans never ap.

J. D. ROCKEFELLER, R.,
IN AUTOMOBILE CRASH
Another Motor Hits His on
Wet Placement.

John ID. Rockefeller. Jr.. and three OF
his children had close call yesterday
at Tarrytown when the automobile In
which they were riding was hit by car
owned and driven by Earle Lohenstein
of 235 Post road, Rye.
Mr.. Rockefeller was driving. his chauf-
four being in the rear seat with the
children. AS Mr.. Rockefeller was In
Broadway near Benedict avenue. which
is steep and Is a detour while the White
plains road Is being paved. the Lohen-
stein car crashed into his motor car.
Mr.. Lohens.ein had seen the Rookie
feller motor and realized that COLI
sion was unavoidable. He had waived
10 Mr.. Rockefeller to speed up and Mr..
Rockefeller put his foot on the throttle.
He shot ahead but not before the Lohen-
stein motor struck his in the rear and
sent II s<ldding along the pavement into
the gutter. The pavement was wet and
the Rockefeller motor did not upset.
Mr.. Lohenstein explained that he must
have burned out his brakes. for they had
failed to hold on the hill. His own car
was badly damaged. but the Rockefeller
motor escaped with a bent fender.
Mr.. Rockefeller drove away to Pecan
tico Hills after telling Policeman Link
that he was glad that no one was hurt
and he considered the outcome most
fortunate

infantry and cavalry, 1t is announced,
have violated the neutral zone around
Ismid.
This is the first violation Of the zone
protecting Constantinople on the Ash
attic side and is regarded as matter
of first Importance. The Kemalists,
however, have not yet advanced far
enough to come into contact with the
British troops in the outskirts Of Con-
stantinople.
The movement will necessarily at
tract attention at Mudania, as 1t Is
contrary to the understanding with
the Kemalists that there shall be no
troop movements pending the compile
ton of the Mudania negotiations.
But II has another and more impor-
tant significance. 1t is recalled that
the KemalIsts justified their violations
of the Dardaneles neutral zone on the
ground that they had never-recognized
that zone nor participated in its forna-
ton. But this excuse cannot be en-
ployed In the case of the Constantinople
zone. because that boundary was estab-
lished in agreement with the Kemalist
authorities a year ago.
The Dragomans of the allied embassies
protested this evening to Hikmet Bey

tive here. against the violation of the
neutral zone at Ismid.
