WORRIED OVER BULGARIA.

Europe's badly worried over what
may follow the militarists' overthrow
of the farm bloc" cabinet under Pre-
mier Stambulisky in Bulgaria.
Bulgaria took the losing side in the
World War. Beaten, Stambulisky
came into power. He submitted to
the allies terms. These we're severe.
Bulgaria lost much. Yet the allies
promised her a few advantages. to
console her a little. Their promises
weren't kept. All Bulgaria reaped was
a net loss.
Bulgaria's neighbor, Turkey, didn't
submit. She dehed the allies and
fought England's protege, Greece. In
stead of being weakened, as Bulgaria
was by submitting, Turkey strength
ened herself immensely.
What Europe fears Is that King
Boris and his new premier, Prof Fan
kof, are figuring on following Tur-
keys example now, and trying to take

Disappointed.

New York, Aug. S.-The match be-
tween Benny Leonard and Johnny
Dundee, scheduled for September
at the Yankee Stadium, which was
announced Monday before articles
were signed, became certainty yes
terday when the boxers signed arti-
cles, and at the same time 1t was
made known by Tex Richard thai
the proposed Leonard-White match
for the latter part of this month had
been postponed until late in Septem
Der.
1t would have been possible to
stage the Leonard White affair at
Boyle's Thirty Acres on August "a or
rs but Leonard did not care to take
a. chance such a short time ahead
of his clash with Dundee and Richard
also thought it inadvisable to insert
another big match on the already
overcrowded fistic calendar. So White
will have to wait until late Septem-
Der, and if things go along as they
have for some time he will be given
the run around" again at that time.

ard-White tilt probably would be held
at the Polo Grounds on September
rs did not register hit with Joe
Jacobs, manager of Mike McTigue,
who had figured on that date for a

Big League Helmsmen Having
Hard Tinei in Some Cities

| Managing a major league ball club
ia far from a soft proposition. 1t is
! doubtful if there Is more uncer-
tain position in the world OF sport.
Managerial ability is based largely
on the games won column. num-
Der of big league teams, expected 10
do big things, are battling to hold
a respectable place in the second divi-
sion, If there is such thing. AS
result many managerial changes are
limited at.
In the American League Lee Foil

Browns. He will go to Boston unless
Chance is retained. Slsler probably
will succeed Fohl at st. Louis.

league debut as manager at Wash
ington, has had tempestuous sea-
son. Injuries have played havoc
with the showing of his club. In all
probability Owner Clarke Griffith
will try some other combination
next year.
In the National League it is al
most certain that this year Will
mark the passing of Fred Mitchell
at Boston. While no one expected
Art Fletcher to finish anywhere but
last with the Phillies. another leader
will likely handle the reins at Philly
next season. A manager seldom
lasts longer than one season with
that club. --
Two months ago rumor had Pat
Moran getting the gate at Cincin-
natl. Then came a splurge by the
Reds, who are now putting UP bat
tie for first place. That has tenn
porarily put Pat back in high favor,

to retain it.

Any time Boehler worked for Tulsa
that game was regarded as almost in
the percentage won column.
Scouts Praise BoehIer
Major League scouts unanimously
pronounced Boehler the best minor
league pitcher in the country. There
was considerable bidding for his
services. Pittsburgh was the highest
bidder.
Back five or six years ago Boehler
was member of the Detroit club of
the American League. He had a
world of stuff, but was wild. For per-
haps three years he was carried with
the hope that he would overcome this
fault. Unable to do SO he was shunt-
ed to the minors.
A big season in the bushes caused
him to be picked up by the st. Louis
Browns. Lack of control again caused
him to do little more than warm the
bench. st. Louis sent him to Tulsa
with string attached.
American League a Jinx
Having twice failed in the American
League, Boeh!9r is said to have ex-
pressed a desire that he be sent tc
the National, bc'lcving he was linked
in the Johnsonian circuit Rumor has
it that he expressed himself as pre-
ferring Tulsa to an American League
berth.
Pittsburgh secured him and it was
believed he would go big with the
Pirates, a strong club. Once again
Boehler has failed, even as dismally
as he did in the American League.
The possessor Of great speed and
a fast-breaking curve. Boehler has
far more stuff than majority Of
the big league stars, yet as a major
Lacquer he has been a pronounced
bust.
AS a big Lacquer Boehler does not
believe in himself. He lacks pitch
er's greatest asset, confidence. Back
in the minors once more he is certain
to win with monotonous regularity.
