NEW YORK, May IL. The
Wills Madden bout, scheduled
to be held tonight at the
Greensboro Stadium, was post
poned until next Friday eve
ming, it was announced today

this Afternoon and again on
Friday, it was announced at
the offices of the commission.

In both leagues the hitting has

of those who is now convinced
that the ball is livelier than

The controversy over batting
is becoming more involved
every day. The officials say
that it is the fault of the
pitchers; the pitchers say it Is
the fault of the lively ball; the
officials say the ball isn't live

are made is manufactured from
