She suited the action to the word,
using much needless breath in the
operation.
"That is a first-rate pipe" she de-
clared. "My father always said that

 Dempsey told him that h. had only one tighl in mind-lhr |926 bout with Harry WiIIs-and IT, he would moi consider any olho ,ut until he had straightencd nu inc Wills affair with the New | ork boxing commission.
 Only few days ago Jimmy De- Forrest, matchmaker at tine Polo Grounds, likewise failed in attrmpts to negotiate with Dempsey.
 Iitzsimmons said he had offered more than s400. .0oO to fight GrcI, at Michigan City and that he would remain in Los Angeles long enough 10 find out what chance he had of obtaining the Dcmpscy-WiIIs tight.
 Dempscys press agent, Robert Roy Benton. last night explained that the champions refusal to light Greb was due 10 the premature pub- lication of letter he had written to the New York commission
 Just how the publication ot the letter made the Cireb match impos- sible was not made clear, but copy of the missive. dated July 3o was given out.
 The letter in part stated:
 since l returned to Los Angeles, l have worked fast 10 undo the en- tanglement of my personal affairs with Mr. Jack kearns, and We have In large measure succeeded. MT. Kearns has been told that hereafter my professional affairs will be con- ducted by myself and in accord- ance with my Word the provisions of his contract with me insofar as finances are concerned, will be recognized.
 My earnest intention to match with Harry Wills as stated by me when I arrived in New York, back from my honeymoon trip to Europe still holds. The one match that has received definite consideration will be as speedy as possible, to meet the demands of your official body.
 There is an inside to all import ant boxing matches and l am per- suaded that what you gentlemen particularly exact is that I shall ae- cept the wishes or otherwise of the commission regarding the match.
 Tt will be gratifying to me to have official recognition of my wire and this letter, knowing that you have given reasonable consideration to the time for my personal appear ance before you"
 Dempsey announced that he was confident the foregoing letter would convince the boxing commission of hia good faith and that he would not be suspended at tomorrow's meeting. All reports to the con- trary he labeled propaganda"

Pittsburgh Takes Two From Phillies-C Cardinals Down Gians-Mackmcn Win Out in 12 Innings-Wash- ingtOn Bows to Detroit-CubS Trim Brooklyn Browns Swamp Boston Red Sox.

New York, Aug, 1 P -- World series discussion grpped Pittsburgh and Philadelphia again today as leaders in tlIe National and Ameri- can leagues sat more snugly in their pacemaking saddles,
 The doughty Pirate cut loose with both hands yesterday and twice tipped over the Phillics in bristling engagements, scores Of to ., pre- vaiIing in both contests.
 Endorsements for the Pirate drive were contributed at St Louis. where the Cardinals pounded Green field and Scott of the Giants for 7-6 victory, The net result improved Pittsburgh's lead by a game and half.
 It required eleven innings for the McKechnie team to accomplish the second fall of the bout, but the Philadelphia Athletics went one ses- sion more to defeat the Chicago White Sox to 2, after a brilliant pitching duel between Rommel and Faber. Detroit's Tygers timed their comeback against the Washington Senators to the advantage of the Mackmen by reaching forth a de- taining paw to set back the cham pions in Washington.
 Of the nine games played yester- day in both circuits, five were de- cided by score of to 2. In addi- tion to the two PhiIadclphia-p Pitts burgh contests and the Chicago-Ath- ietics battle, the Detroit Washing ton and the New York Cleveland tilts were decided by the same fig ures.
 Box scores indicated that the much -maligned rabbit ball" can be tanned by the deft pitching arm. AL dridge and Yde had Philly batters completely at their mercy, Detroit and Washington between them amassed no mOrethan sixteen hits, Sam Jones of the Yankees scattered seven Cleveland hits for only two runs. while in most of the other games the tide of battle was regu- lated from the pitching slab.
 Blake gave only six hits 10 the Brooklyn Robins as the Chicago Cubs posted 7-4 triumph over Zach Wheat and company while live bingIes constituted the extent of Cincinnau's liberties with the slab offerings Of Pitcher Cooney.

TEAM MANAGERS TO TALK
 OVER CITY TITLE SERIES
Prospects of Four Teams to Play for Championship of New Britain
 to Be Discussed

There has been considerable talk during the past few weeks about a city series for the title of champions of New Britain among the baseball fans of the city and nothing definite has come of the discussion among the managers. The time for base ball is getting short and something will have to be done soon if 8 series to decide which team is best is 10 be played out.
 For this reason, a meeting Of the managers Of the leading teams in the city has been called 10 be held in the Herald" office Friday night of this week at o'clock. Managers of the leading Con;cndcrs for the title are asked to take note of this call and to attend the session if possible.

WALKER NOT HOPEFUL FOR
 SETTLEMENT OF TROUBLE
WeIterwcight Champion Gives Views
 on Present Difficulties With New

Chicago, Aug. 4 P-Mickey Wal ker, the welterweight champion, fac ing indefinite suspension by the New York state athletic commission. is not hopeful for an immediate settle ment of the trouble.
 Walker came here yesterday to begin training for his 10-round mo- decision bout with Billy Wells of Great Britain Friday night at East Chicago, Ind. At the same time the New York commission considered suspension If Walker and Jack Dempsey do not appear today before the commission and sign articles of agreement for title matches with their outstanding challengers-DaNe Shade and Harry Wills. agreed to fight Shade and my man. strengthened out" said Walker. q agreed to fight Shade and my Man agcr, Jack kearns, signed for the bout. But that didn't suit.
 When they had me before the commission l told them that my manager would have to sign for me and talk business for me. That made them sore, guess, because they seem 10 be off Kearns because he tried to protect Dempsey by duck ing Wills. So there doesn't seem 10 be much hope for an immediate set clement of the trouble.
 "I fought Shade twice and am ready to fight him again. Perhaps when Kearns gets here he will talk matters over about putting the fight on here.
 "The way it looks now, Shade won't fight me in California, where I signed to meet him, and the New York commission will not let me fight in their territory because Kearns is my manager. So maybe we'll have 10 come to Chicago to put the thing over"
 Kearns Is en route cast from the Pacific coast and probably will ar
 rive here tomorrow.

MOVIE INDUSTRY
WILL FACE TRIAL
BY FEDERAL BODY

WASHINGTON, Noy. 3. - The
motion picture industry will be
placed "on trial" before the fed
eral trade commission this month,
in a series of hearings due to start
November 10.
After four years Of investigation,
evidence has been collected by com
mission investigators which has
been held sufficient to proceed
against various eomponents Of the
silent drama business as an illegal
combination operating in violation
Of the trade laws.
w. H. Fuller, chief counsel for the
commission, has preoarcd the COM
missions brief which reads like a
scenario of nightly business
drama, with Williams, heroes and all
the clashings and suspense Of the
most movie thrillers.
Thomas Edison, noted inventor;
John Tigert, United States com
missioner Of education; Colonel AL
vim Owsley, former commander of
the American Legion; Douglas Fair
banks, Mary Pickford and other
notables inside and outside the
business pass in review to tell
what they think Of motion pictures
as an influence upon American life.
