Six Makes of Revolvers Cannot Be
Imported.

The Tariff Commission announced
today it had recommended that re-
volvers made by six manufacturers in
Eibar, Spain, be barred from importa-
tion and sale in the United States.
The commissions investigation was
based on complaint by Smith & Wes-
son, Inc, that the Spanish manufac-
turers shipped into the United States
revolvers which simulated its prod.
ucts. This was held to constitute an
unfair trade practice.
The Spanish manufacturers have so
days to appeal from the recommenda-
ton to the United States Court of

MARK BILL PASSED.
German Revaluation Act Wins by
Marrow Margin.

BERLIN. July IS R.-The Reichs-
tag yesterday passed the third read.
ing of the revaluation bill. The vote
was 230 to 1877.
The revaluation bill provides for the
exchange of securities of war loans
and pre-war German government
loans held by German and foreign
subscribers for new loan equal to
per cent of the original loan. This
would mean that total obligation
amounting to 10000. 100000 marks
would be converted into gold debt OF
$500, ,000, 900 marks.
The revaluation committee of the
Reichstag recently decided to differ
entiate between old and new holders
of paper mark state loans and to
grant the latter a revaluation of only
2h per cent as compared to s per
cent for old subscribers. The Bourse
committee a week ago closed the ex-
change as a protest against this de-
cision.

CALLOW NJ A Y
COACH PENN
IN 1927
Reported Ready to Step Into
Rice's Shoes After
Years Lay-off

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y, June %.
SRusty" Callow, coach OF the Uni.
Versity Of Washington crew, will
shift his activities to the University
of Pennsylvania in 1927, according
to one of several reports freely
aired after yesterday aftccnoon's
championship boat race on the Hud-
son. Callow, it was said, would
replace Jim Rice, whose resigna-
ton at Pennsylvania was to take
effect after the race.
Just who was to take hold of
Pennsylvania before Callow's al
legged transfer in 1927 seemed to be
PENIS problem.
Nothing to it," was the succinct
comment Of the Washington coach
when asked If he intended to &C.
cept Pennsylvania bid for next
year.
But a man high up in Pennsyl.
vania's rowing affairs had another
story to tell.
"It is quite true that Callow
will not report next year." he said.
"But it is practically decided that
he will be with us in 1927. What
we will do next year is a question.
Rice's unlocked for resignation
leaves US in a hole there
Another angle of the report was
that Spuhn, of Harvard, would ac-
cept an offer from Pennsylvania
to act as Callow's assistant in
1927 and might be prevailed upon
TO act as temporary head coach
next year.

The Detroit Tiger might better be
named the Detroit Dog in the
Manager.
IF 1 can't win the pennant, I'll
keep you from it," said the Tiger
to the Yank and forthwith helped
Washington to victory by trimming
the Yanks in a vital series last
season.
Now the Tiger has turned on
Washington, it appears. The real
difference between the standing OF
the Philadelphia Macks and the
Griffmen is the difference be-
tween the Macks' and the Griffs'
showings against Detroit.
Comics Clouters have won Asix
games from the Tigers and lost
two. The Griffs have had to fight
like blazes to break even with
Detroit, the count being four and
four.
Detroit is the only team over
which Washington has no ad-
vantage.

Look to Him to Duplicate
Abraham's Feat of Two

That success or failure for tho

captain-e1ect of the Blue team. is
the opinion of keen observers Of
athletic affairs.
The stage is all set for Norton
to duplicate the sensational show
ing that. Harold NJ. Abrahams. Of
Cambridge, the Olympic 1O0.meter
champion. made in the last clash
between Harvard Yale and Oxford

Norton is primed to fairly out

Porritt, at his best, figures to
beat Norton in the 100 but 1t is
not at all certain that the New

edge after his voyage across the
Atlantic-his second. by the way

Norton should have little trouble
with Porritt in the 1920" which
is the Yale captain-elect's best dis.
lance on the track. Neither should

If Norton makes the grade in
three events at Cambridge on July

athlete to perform the feat ag&nst

Nothing Official has Deen NouCu-
safed about the situation. In fact,
the matter has been pretty thor
oughly s'shushed.'
But the present understanding,
nevertheless, is that Hughey Jen.
nings win continue to take active
charge of the club aRd John Nc.
Graw will take active charge of
himself.
1t is hardly the time McGraw
himself would select for tempo
rary retirement. The Giants need
him as the plaster needs the paris,
for the Pirates, giving the greatest
exhibition of sustained hitting in
the history of all baseball, are
coming with the speed OF q prairie
fire.
They are only a game and q
half back today apld q cOntinu-
ance Of their respective speeds
soon will see the two clubs eX-
changing positions. Everything
has gone to the falsett0 in the
Giant camp where q bit more
than a month ago all was pink
and pretty.
Injuries to Frisch, Groh, Lind
strom, Kelly, Terry and Scott fol-
lowed in rapid succession, and, at
one time, one might find diff
Guilty in recognizing the Giants with
college boy on third base and a
spawned catcher, twelve years in
the minor leagues, playing first
base. 1t.
Scott, one of three pitchers who
have kept the club in front, was
out for several days after a COLI.
sion with Grimm at Chicago. An
other, Bentley. was beaten several
times by one run, and the third
proceeded to get himself suspended
for conduct unbecoming a ball
player, whatever that may be.
The latter was Virgil Barnes, who
claimed he sprained a careless
ankle in a Pittsburgh bath tub.
McGraw, however, pointed out that
all Pittsburgh bath tubs are
equipped with sandpaper and sent
the young man home. That didn't
do the club any particular good,
either.
Finally, we have Exhibit A in
the person of Ross Young, a nor
NAL $40 hitter. He is stepping
b1ithely along at about .225 and
can't seem to accelerate the pace.
That is an absurd performance for
a man like Young in these days Of
the lively ball.
All in all. it is not remarkable
that the Giants have. won only
eight games in the last seventeen
played.
