 eTnment Revenue Men

Chicago, July 2s.-Federal investi- gation of boxing contests held recently in Chicago, ostensibly for the benefit of charity, was begun today with the return of L. L. Daley, Internal Revenue agent from Shelby, Mont, where he checked the gate receipts of the Gibbons-Dempsey fight on be- half of the government.
 MT. Daley planned to investigate the object of t'lo recent Benny Leon- ard Pinkie Mitchell bout. It was said at the time of the Jout by James Null len. the promoter, that the fight was held for charitable purposes"
 It was rumored afterward, however, that the Near West Side Boys Club of Chicago received only s25 from the large gate receipts. The total gate re- ceipts was s74,000, of which Benny Leonard got sS0,000. Because the bout was held for charitable purposes" &C., cording to the declaration filed, the promoter was not compelled to pay the government a 10 per cent tax.
 According to Mir. Daley, the gov- ernment so far has received s22,000 in taxes on the gate receipts taken at Shelby Major Johnson of Shelby still owes the government s5,Soo. accord ing to MT. Daley, who added that federal agencies had filed lien on the mayors property for that amount.

Mays, Hero of 2l Series,
 About to Leaue Big Show

New York, July 2s.-carl Mays pitching hero of the 1921 world se- rles. is almost at the end of his career as q big leaguer.
 A hero two years ago and bench warmer today, lucky to start game!
 That sums up the story of Carl Mays.
 Mays fate simply proves that base ball is mighty fickle playmate.
 Last year the Yankees asked for waivers on Mays. It was intended to send him to the Pacific Coast league in deal for Pitcher Jakie May. All the major league clubs waived except the Cincinnati Reds.
 Failure of the Reds to waive, alone prevented Mays from being shunted to the minors last winter. That is almost certain to be his fate before the opening of next season. .
 This year finishes Mays three-year contract calling for s15,000 a. year. Right now Carl is getting big money for acting as bench warmer and oc- casional relief pitcher.
 During the recent series with Cleveland Manager Huggins, because of injuries to several members of his pitching staff, was forced to start Mays. That game just about sound ed the finish of his career as a big league star. .

CHANGES STYLE AT BAT,
 STAYS IN BIG LEAGUES
Improved Hitting Keeps Schliebnei Up With Top Notchers-Is Sisters
 Undcrstudy This Year

St Lous, July 28.-Substituting for George Sisler, voted the most valua- ble player in baseball last year. is just about the toughest assignment that could be handed an athlete,
 Dutch" Schliebner is essaying that role for the St. Louis Browns and do- ing a very good job of it. Schliebner was not considered good enough for the Brooklyn club.
 A good fielder. Schliebner was not able to hit National League pitching His troubles started on the spring training trip which the Brooklyn club played with the New York Yankees.
 The crafty pitching staff of the Yankees soon observed that Schlieb- ner was a right field hitter. They kept the ball on the inside, against his handle, and as a result he was practically helpless. Nationad League pitchers soon goth wise and it wasn't long after the opening of the season that Schliebner was adorning the bench. Manager Robinson was con- vinced that he couldn't hit major league pitching.
 Lee Fohl, in dire need of a first sacker to bolster up the Browns, took chance on Schliebner, despite in- formation he had that Schliebner was a weak hitter.
 In the American League Schlieb- ner has done very well at the bat. He now hits as many balls to left field as right. We will let Schliebner explain.
 Ice Fohl is responsible for my i'm proved hitting. After my first game he told me I was pushing instead of swinging at the ball. He also said that my stance at the plate was wrong. that a strong fellow like me ought to hit to all fields. Inside of week he had changed my style entirely and l am now reaping the benefits. From dead right field hitter I can pull ball to left field as good as the next fellow"

LOOKS LIKE RADlBLNO IS SLATED
 TO WW BACK HIS LOST LAURELS

New York, July 28.-Babe Ruth with score of 24 home runs to his credit seems destined to regain the honors he lost last year to Rogers Hornsby and Kenneth Williams.
 Hornsby with AZ circuit clouts de- throned the king of the swat last season. Even Williams with 39 had it on the Babe. This season the home-run business is slumping with Hornsby and Williams, while Ruth finds 1t pretty good.
 For time Cy Williams of the Philadelphia Nationals looked as if he might seriously threaten Babes record of 59 Playing most of the early games at the Philadelphia park
New Britain herald., 1923-07-28

with its short right-field fence, Will Hams for more than two months had an edge on Babes big year. Ther an injury set him back. For the past month Ruth has been gaining or him rapidly.
 While Ruth isn't trying for home runs as he once did, his terrific swing just naturally gets them. Ruth has been team player this year and has been of more value to the Yankees than the acmpaign he busted all the swat records.
 Going along at his present clip the Bambino should top the home run field by the first of August al the very latest.
