BOXING TAX CASE
APPEALED BY U. S.

The federal government has asked
the Supreme Court to decide whether
directors and managers of boxing
contests in New York city can escape
without paying taxes upon admis-
sions to such contests.
In appealing case brought against
James j. Johnston. as matchmake
and manager OF the Central Man
asserted that should the decision of
the circuit court of appeals at New
York city be permitted to stand. II
would open the door to fraudulent
transactions"
The governments embarrassment
arose over the construction placed
by that court upon the laws of New
York. Johnston had a contract with
the club to conduct boxing exhibit
lions, under which he received the
entire proceeds and paid the club;
the government alleged, a stipulated
sum of money for the privilege. after
each contest. Johnston. upon failure
to pay the government tax imposed
upon admissions to such contests, was
indicted and convicted In the federal
He took the case to the circuit
court of appeals, which held that
under the law of New York the
Central Manhattan Boxing Club and
not Johnston had been licensed by
the state to conduct the contests, and
that therefore the government must
look to the club for the tax
The government, in its appeal to
the Supreme Court, commended that II
was the plain purpose of Congress
to require persons who sold admis-
sion tickets to entertainments TO
collect from the purchaser the tax
imposed by the federal and state
governments, and TO account for
them to those authorities.

LEONARD SHY SPEED,
BUT OUTBOXES HART

PHILADELPHIA. July 10.-Benny
Leonard. world lightweight champion,
returned to New York TODAY after his
fight with Alex Hart of Iorain. Ohio,
last night. to take a brief rest before
he starts training for his coming
bout with Lew Tender, the Phila-
delphia challenger.
Leonard. according to the sports
writer's at the ringside, outboxed and
outpointed Hart, but he was unable
to land a knockout blow. The
westerner took some severe punish
ment, but at no time did he appear
to be in danger.
Harris jabs and punches appeared
to lack steam and had little effect on
the New Yorker.
Leonard forced the fighting at every
opportunity, but Hart put up such a
stalwart defense that he was not
able to break through his guard
with q telling punch. Many of the
champions blows found their mark
IS his opponent was backing away
covering up.
Leonard was four pounds over his
usual fighting weight, which, in the
opinion of observers, is what slowed
him up.
The largest crowd that ever wit
messed boxing exhibition in this
city saw the fight. The crowd was
estimated at more than 10000.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, July l0.-Chanpe

templated by Phil De Catesby Ball.
owner of the club, is said by local
sport writer's to be a reflection Of the
fans disappointment at the Browns
failure this season. Their showing
generally is believed to be due to the
absence of George Sisler. star first
haseman. who it is believed will be
Foil.
A year ago the Browns, with vir-
tually the same lineup, fought a
hard battle with the New York club
for the American League pennant.
Sisters absence. due to an ailment of
the eyes, is generally believed to have
arected the teams showing on the
ball field and also to have impaired
the club morale.
When James Burke was relieved of
the Browns leadership a year and a
half ago Sisler was mentioned as
his probable successor. but he is said
to have rejected the offer for fear
that the responsibility as manager
would impair his play on the field.
Bali's determination to change
N,.nagers is said TO have been openly
expressed Sunday after the game with
New York. He is reported to have
criticized the manner in which Fohl
directed that game. especially his
calling out pinch hitters. Neither
Fohl nor Ball would directly discuss
the many rumors regarding the con-
templated change.
Foil declares he will not resign
and admits he had not spoken to the
Browns owner since the team re-
turned home nearly two weeks ago.
His contract expires at the end of this
season.
Fohl came to the Browns after the
end of the 1920 season. His success
during the 1922 campaign won him
approval and popularity among the
fans. and he was looked upon as a
highly capable manager
