Bout Ends In Free for all As RItchie Mitchell Enters Ring To Protest Refereeinq

CHICAGO. May 29.-Chicago socie- N assembled to see its first charity prlzehght, was treated to an old tune riot at the Dexter Park pavilion Tuesday night, which fol lowed Benny Leonard's knock out Of Pinkie Mitchell in the last frame of .heir round bout, and was only ended by the clubs of the police.
 Leonard knocked Pinkie down in he tenth and delivered the knockout as Pinkie strove to rise. Referee Davey Miller gave the fight to the lightweight champ, and a minute la ter was engaged in knock down and drag-out tussle with Ritchie Mitchell. Pinkie's brother, who claimed a foul.
 Three thousand women, compris- ing a fifth of the big charity show crowd, straightway began to scream. It took about ten minutes for all the fans nearby to hop into the ring side. and pandemonium began to reign. Many women fainted in the crush.
 The police finally got into action and cleaned up the ring by liberal play of their billies. No arrests were made in connection with the riot
 The proceeds of the bout were scheduled to go to the West Side Boys club, hence the society interest in the event, which was compared to the show put on by Anne Morgan in New York, when Leonard trimmed Ritchie Mitchell after terrific battle.
 Pinkie was out to avenge his brother. according to all the advance predictions of his managers, but for the first five rounds neither hghtef struck a telling blow and there were few of any other kind. Persistent booing by the boys back of the yards, drowning, it is suspected few more cultured cries of protest from the Gold Coast contingent, finally per- suaded the boys to go to 1t in the sixth Leonard from that time on led Pinkie all the way. the latter landing a blow occasionally.

Meet, Standardize Rules

BY LAWRENCE PERRY

Copyright. 1928, By The San Antonio Light.
New York, Jan. 9.-While the golf
bodies of England and the United States
are dallying with the praiect Of for
rules, the tennis association of the world
rules, the ennis association of the world
have gone ahead and adopted rules that
will be everywhere recognized as uni
form.
With such an example set by great
sister sport. one wonders whether the
United States Golf Association. the
western association and st. Andrews i'll
Great Britain do not feel just little
envy. IL indeed they would not own to
sense Of humiliation under the pres
sure Of shrewdly put questions. The two
great American organizations agreed
months ago that a set of uniform rules
was desirable. Yet the British golfers
who visited this country in quest Of the
Walker GO were permitted TO depart
with nothing tangible accomplished in
this respect. Some Of these gentlemen
were prominent in the Royal and
Ancient Club councils.
OF course, eventually there will be
brought about by definite legislation an
absolute unity in the rules OF golf
the world over. But no one can sag
when this happy event viii take place,
least Of all. apparently. the Officers
Of the U. s. G. A. One might suggest
that the way to do this thing is-just

They held a meeting Of the international
rules committee in london last month at
which fourteen nations or independent
colonies were represented. IL IS hardly
to be doubted that the new regula

REVIEW AND FORECAST.

Word that French troops had
actually begun the invasion Of the
Ruhr failed TO disturb the composure
of the markets today.
This news indeed had been so well
foreshawodew for the last few days
that TO use the familiar phrase, it was
discounted" German marks made
a new low record, falling below one
one-hundredths Of a cent for the first
time. French francs, which had be.
gun the day higher, sold off after the
troop movement became known. But
there was no weakness like Monday
and both French and Belgian govern
ment bonds recovered sharply.
The plain reading of the action in
all these markets was that the finan.
cial and commercial communities were
awaiting with utmost interest the out.
come of the French attempt TO collect
indemnity claims by force but that in
the meantime they were showing no
real concern over the consequences for
the rest of the world.
The strength of sterling exchange
again was of the greatest significance.
Selling as il did at one time, a cent
above the Monday final and well up
TO the highest of a week ago, it could
not be construed otherwise than as an
expression of confidence on the part
OF British finance, no less than Ameri.
can financed strength Of the home

Washington. ID. c., Jan. e.-The

fering OF 41-2 per cent treasury notes,
dated January Is. and maturing De.
cember 10, 1927. The Issue is for about

Gates are rendered in payment or ex-

coiing TO treasury figures, and some
thing like $500, 100000 of the 1918 Is
sue of war saving stamps also have
not been presented for redemption. In
terest stopped December - on the called
Victory notes and January l on the
war savings stamps.
The present issue is intended, with
balances already on hand in the treas

to meet the Victory notes called for
redemption as well as the matured war
saving stamps which remain TO be pre-
sented. Receipts from the issue also
will help in covering the treasury's cur
rent cash requirements between now

New York, Jan. s.-The golf bag
with its half dozen or more, clubs is to

During the recent major league meet
ing here the golf question was given
much consideration by club owners and
managers.
On number Of clubs golf Is begin

ball. Too many stars are paying far
too much attention to making the is
holes under par rather than thinking
about their base hits.
No club In either major league suf-
fered more from the golf craze last
gear than the Yankees. With a very
few exceptions every member of the
New York Americans is confirmed
golfer. 1t seems the germ hits The
pitchers harder ban anyone else.
The star pitchers of the Yankees,
Shawkey, Hoyt, Bush and Mays, are
all golf bugs. With this quartet is TO

summer.
Last season Higgins several times
was placed in an embarrassing position
by calling on some pitcher for relief
work who, not expecting to pitch. had
played IS or 80 holes before coming
out to the ball park.
1t looks very much as IL a number
of clubs would put the ban on golf
during the playing season, particularly
when the race tightens Up.

man transferred his activities TO Wash
ington and jefferson, and Louis Young,
Pennsylvania's captain 1913, was made
head coach Of the Red and Blue for
A period OF three years. Naturally this
Arrangement put an end to any con
nectton of Heisman with Pennsylvania
athletics in an advisory capacity such
as had been forecast.
Young should be able to do fine work
for PENNSYLVANIA. particularly If he can

II has been difficult TO anal gamate

under Young's regime. Pennsylvania
should have strong team next year;
Young himself was primarily an end
and made his reputation in that posi-

and knows the backfield jobs. As Tom

football. When he came north to Penn

he had built up by years OF effort in

makes plays 60. But out of the weller

shift plays, Heisman performed aston.

and. above all. retained the respect OF
all those associated with him. They all
wish him well in his new post.
