|MASCART SAYS

GLOVES
French Featherweight Can't
Speak English, But, Oh,
How He Socks

The first real European boxing
champion, still in possession of his
title, ever to appear before a local
audience, arrived in Washington
today when Edouard Mascart,
featherweight champion Of Europe,
stepped off the train from New
York. Mascart, through the enter
prise of the National Capital Sport
ing Club, is making his American
bow in the National Capital even
before his debut in New York. He
will meet Miclly TraVers, one or
the leading American contenders for
the featherweiGht title, in a ten
round mill at the Auditorium next
Tuesday night.
Accompanying Mascart was Rene
De Vos, Belgium middleweight cham
pion, who will appear in the eight
round semi-final on the same card.
and who also acts as the French
mans interpreter, Mascart not
speaking a word of English.
What he cannot express in words.
according to De Vos, however, Mas
cart can say with gloves. The
French champion will make his first
real address with gloves in America
before the local club Tuesday night.
Mascart, through De Vos, stated
very emphatically and confidently,
that he would win the debate from
Micky Travers.
Travers also arrived in Washing
ton today to complete his weight
making. Mascart, though confident
of his superiority and ability to win.
insists that Travers make 12S
pounds for their engagement here.
Dane, athletic director of the local
club, will watch over Travers care
fully and put him on the scales
daily so there will not be any hitcn
in the proceedings.
AS usual, tickets must be secured
by application to room 2O6 Bond
building, prior to the fight. None
will be disposed of at the Auditorium.

YANKEES CLOSE DEAL
For SHoRTSToP KoENIC

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 15.-Mil-
Ter Higgins. manager of the New
York Yankees, and Bob Connery,
owner OF the st. Paul American
Association club, have agreed on
terms for the sale of Mark Koenig,
young st. Paul shortstop, to the
Yankees, at the close of the Amer
ican Association season, according
to announcement made by Connery
today. The deal, involving the i'm
mediate delivery to st. Paul of
three Yankee players named Dy
Connery. but not made public,
awaits the o. K. of Colonel Jacob
Rupert, owner of the Yankees,
on the three players named.
Higgins with Ed Barrows, buai.
ness manager of the Yankees. left
here Yor New York last night to
place the proposition before Colonel
Rupert.
Connery has refused to name the
players he has specified, but it is
known that he requested of Hug.

monies are not expected to be
elaborate. The players of both
teams will make their usual par
ade to center field, standing with
barred heads as the commissioner
pulls on the rope taking the
flag up into the air. Then will
come the parade back to the dia-
mOnd, followed by the ball game.
When the American League PEN
nant was raised the Philadelphia
club was honored. President Grif-
fifth considers it graceful to honor
a Western club at the raising Of
the World Championship Gonfalon
and he has chosen the Detroit
club which makes it's seasons bow
in the Capital on June 10.
Shivering has ceased among the
Griffs on being officially informed
that not till June Is will Manager
Harris have to bring his roster
down to twenty-five players. Today
was the date expected and pitchers
and outfielders have been worrying
for several weeks.
Under the old rules, May Is was
the date when all major league
clubs were obliged to cut down
their rosters to the legal limit of
twenty-five, but a new rule was
adopted last winter permitting an
extra month for the proper judging
of young players.
Therefore, Manager Harris has
another month in which to look
at his pitchers and OutfielderS
before deciding which of the
flock is to be sent down river.
Harry Kelley, the kid hurler
from Memphis, read in Memphis
paper that he was slated for a re-
turn, but Manager Harris calmed
him by calling the report mere
bunk. Kelly's mother has come
UP from Parkin, Ark, to visit her
big league son and the lad is very
proud and happy to have her with
him. Manager Harris words adj
to Kelly's joy and he expects to
stay with the team all season.
Immediately following today's
final game with the Browns, the
world champions will leave for
Cleveland. where they are due to
open a four game series tomorrow
1t will be a quick getaway, the
train being caught in railroad
yard not far from Sportsman s
Park. Cleveland will be reached
about 8 o'clock tomorrow.

are coming out to watch him add
to his record, too. it might be
said, which is q good thing for
the game.
There was some brilliant fielding
on tap on both sides. Robertson
robbed Muddy Ruel of hit in the
fourth by jumping over to his left
and knocking the drive down. He
fell to his knees but recovered in
time to throw out the Griff's star
Gerber went high into the air to
snag Bucky Harris liner which
was marked for two bases If it
ever passed the infield.
Bucky Harris went over behind
second base for Gerber's merry
bounce in the fourth and got him
by whisker, though Gerber il a
fast man getting down to first
base.
The greatest fielding bit of the
day, though, was contributed by
Ossie Bluege. It came in the
seventh with jacobson on first
and none out. Hank SEVERED
smashed liner toward left. Bluege
Ieaped across it's path, speared with
his gloved hand, recovered and

ing in the ninth when Muddy Ruel
caught him flatfooted off first base.
Bobby ran for SEVERED, who had
singled with one out. Ruel did not
call for a pitchout. He took a bali

it over to Judge. Lamotte was nail
ed with room to spare. Wow,

For the Browns either Joe Bush,

New York Yankees in the trade for
Urban Shocker, or Dave Danforth,

frame Yesterday will start on the
hill. In either case the World
Champions will have no easy time
Of it.
Stan Coveleskie appears to have
hit his winning stride. He turned
in his first victory OF the year IN
Chicago and came through with ms
second against the Browns, 10
3. However, brilliant fielding sup
port was necessary to swing MN
over the fence, the outfielders tax
ing many drives with their backs
to the barriers, and Bluege, Bucky
Harris and Peck turning in marVeI-
Gus stops and throws in the infleld.
1t was by no means a one-sloeo
triumph for the Champions.
Ernie Wingard, the young
southpaw, pitched eight innings
and was unfortunate enough TO
be wild i'm the. very frames the
Griffs punched their hits. The
combination proved too much for
him to overcome and ne faded
for q pinch hitter in the eighth.
The Champions had to overcome
a two-run lead right at the start
for Tobin opened with a single to
be forced by Sisler and then Ken
Williams Iofted a high fly to the
roof of that pet pavilion of his In
right field for the circuit. 1t would
be an easy out in Washington but
here it counts four bases, which is
considerable difference.
The Griffs kept poking away at
Wingard and finally broke into the
scoring in the third. Rice led off
with a double down the left field
line, scooting to third when iobin
gathered in Bucky Harris fly close
TO the foul line. Joe Harris drove
out a long fly to Tobin that scored
Rice.
The fifth saw the champions take
the lead which they never lost. Rice
walked with one down, skipping
around to third when Bucky Harris
hammered a single to center. Joe
Harris waited and walked, filling
the bases. Goose Goslin's clean
single to right scored Rice and
Bucky Harris and Judges fly tC
Tobin brought Joe Harris over.
Just to cinch things, Joe Judge
waited a home run into the righ
field bleachers in the eighth. Bluegt
followed with two-bagger but was
left at third. Anyway, five run:
was enough to give Coveleskie nix
second victory of the year, though
he had to work to the very end.
In the Browns eighth Harry
Rice, an extra third sacker, came
up for Wingard and plastered ;

whose peg to the plate was too lat,
to stop Rice from scoring.
George Sisler ran his hitting
record up to twenty-nine cOnsecu-
tive games when he singled to
right in the third. 1t was a real
hit, too, going on a line between
Judge and Bucky Harris. In the
sixth he came through with an.
other, a clean drive to right
center. So far as this series goes,
no effort is being made to pad
his record. The Browns manager
is simply Furnishing the ball,

President Griffith had planned to

of fan, not the usual.
Right here. in our own town,
Babe Ruth is "booed" when he
goes to the bat. We are in
clined to think that that "razz-
ing" is not caused by unpopu-
larity so much as a desire on
the part of the fans to dis
hearten him from hitting.
On the other hand, Walter
johnson gets rousing cheers in
the Yankee Stadium when he
goes in to pitch, when he goes
up to bat and even when he IS
knocked from the box-which
has happened, as we all know.
Popularity is a tickle thing
and hard to analyze, decline as
you would verb, or pick to
pieces like a clock.
The pasts of the two men
have been so different that they
have built up a divergent sort
of following. Johnson has been
nearly twenty years cementing
himself, while Ruth has gotten
his foothold on the people in
half that time.
Mr.. Smith, yours is a tough
omelet to scramble. But since
you asked us, we like johnson
the better, although we are also

Compromised housekeeping would

cago Board of Trade adopted stringent
rules to prevent market manipulation
and other practices complained of.
One of the new regulations places
in the hands of the directors of the
board almost complete control of the
market during wild price swings. On
ten-hours' notice, without appeal to
the members as a whole, the directors
may place an arbitrary limit on price
fluctuations. Thereafter they may pro-
hibit trading during any day at prices
above or below a certain percentage of
the closing price the night before.
TO declare such an emergency,
twelve directors must be present and
two-thirds must vote in the affirmative.
Heavy penalties are provided for viola
tors of this rule.
a second rule provides for creation
of business conduct committee of
five members, who will have full power
to regulate the ethics of trading and
to protect interests of the public.
Under the third new rule, the 600
out-of-town members of the board are
allowed to vote by mail The first and
second rules were passed by vote
