doom and George Brewer.

Brewer, it was, who caused general change of front by wiring Rickard in Chicago an invitation to return and talk over the matter which the commission had twice turned down. Now comes to the fore Colonel John J. Phelan, chair man of the license committee of two men which must pass upon. in a li- .censing way, the eligibility of Demp- .sey and Tunney, for neither own li- censes in this state.
 Before the Dempsey-Tunney mat ter went before the commission yes terday this license committee sent up word that hereafter that body would act separately according to it's findings, a situation hitherto un- known. Brewer and Muldoon con- tend that the committee always has followed the commissions recom- Imendations and always should. Colonel Phelsl is known to favor, along with Chairman Farley, bout between Dempsey and the negro, Harry Wills, and intimated yester- day that no licenses for the Demp- Isey-Tunney affair would be issued. Farley went so far as to predict that | the fight never will take place. Brewer and Muldoon said that the committee can refuse licenses only l for legal reasons.
 Farley's contention was that the commission had no legal right to ac- cept the bout before the boxers had received licenses, but Brewer and
 Muldoon countered with the Demp- sey- -Firpo situation wherein the champion obtained license only a 1 few hours before the bout.
 Two weeks hence the license com mittee will meet again and at that time there may be decision. Mean while Rickard is planning for the event and Dempsey and Tunney have arranged for their training camps.

Last Years Champs Receive Second Setback in New eBritain Boys League-W Washington Team Adds Another Victim to List in Person of Boys Club Dobkowski Holds Heavy Hitters Safely While Mates Pile Up Big Lead to Win Game.
League Standing

The Smith team in the New Brit ain Boys league upset the dope com pletely yesterday afternoon at Wal nut Hill park when it laid low the Paradise Park outfit, champions of last year, in an exciting game. This gave Washington a big lead over the ether contenders because at the same time, Washington was dispos- ing of the Boys club on the other diamond.
 With Dobkowsld bending them over like world beater the Smiths romped away to a win from the Paradise Parks yesterday afternoon by a score of s to 4. Dobkowski per formed neatly on the mound and held the champions of last year well in hand all the time and kept their safe bingles well scattered.
 The Smiths were always out in front, as they landed on the offer ings of Arel in the first inning and scored five runs before being re- | tired. They continued their heavy hitting after thLS on the slants of Lefty" Cohen and added a number 1 of runs to their lead which the Paradise Parks were unable to overcome. Dobkowski proved to be the stumbling block of the 1925 | champions ard sent them down 10 Ntheir second defeat of the season.
 The victory of the Smiths was a we'll earned one as the lads from the East End played good baseball all the time. They took advantage of eN erything and after the first inning counted with runs from extra base i clouts off Cohen's twisters. This was the second neat mound per- , formance DobkowsN has turned in. i In his last start he was barely beat en.
 The first inning Arel started on ! the mound and Squillaciote singled ! to left as a starter. The next batter 1 famed, but on Dubkowski's ground 1 CT down the shortfield Weihn muss- ! ed it up and both runners were safe. Here the trouble started for Arel | filled the bases by walking Villa. Kalnik then cleaned the bases with a double to right and scored soon after on Albanese's single through short. A stolen base and a passed ball resulted in another run. Arel walked Albert Argosy and that was the last of him. Lefty" Cohen took his place and retired the side. He went along good until the sixth frame when several extra base clouts started the winners into SCOT ing again and put the game on ice.
 The Paradise Parks in their turn at bat in the first started off like a house afire. Lipman singled to left, and went to third while Truman was retired. He scored on Jack O'Brien's double to center. Dobkowski tight ened up after this and retired the side without further scoring. The
 Paradise Parks scored in the third and fourth but were never able to get on even terms with the Smiths who with Dobkowski shooting them
 over played like champions.
 The play of Argosy at first and
 the work of Squillaciote behind the -Ebat for the winners were the high lights of the game. Jack O'Brien swung a heavy stick for the Para
 disc Parks, collecting three of the
 eight hits. The score:

By the Associated Press
 A day of accomplishment for sons of St. Louis in the major leagues who no longer perform in the Mound City must be recorded even though the Pittsburgh Pirates top pied the anxious Giants and George Herman Ruth hit his 3lst home run of the season.
 Hank Severeid. tossed about in the Browns to Senators to Yankees play, hit two doubles and single in New Yorks to , victory over the Browns yesterday. The Yankees wanted him to do the receiving and that would have sufficed but Hank carried his bat along as well as a mitt. Bill Jacobson, centerfielder for the Browns for some years, had a home run, double and three singles in the Red Sox to vic- tory over Detroit.
 The Babes lift at St. Louis placed him within five of his 1921 mark at this stage and it helped material ly but the bats of Severeid and Earl Combs really won the battle. Combs hits a homer and McManus and Rice of the Browns did likewise.
 Jacobson's heavy hitting support ed a superb pitching performance by the late Philadelphian, Slim Har- riss, who granted the Tygers only five safeties. 5...s..s.
 Goose Goslin was reinstated by Bucky Harris and contributed large ly to the Senators to 2 conquest of Chicago Walter Johnson Kept nine hits well scattered, while the Goose was gathering a triple and single, scoring two runs, stealing a base, snatching six flies and assisting in two putouts, one at the plate. Goslin was benched last week for indifferent playing.
 Loose fielding by Emil Meusel in the early innings gave the Pirates start that the Giants could not overcome and he was benched after the third. Jimmy Johnston went to center and Tyson into left. Jackson and Lindstrom of the Giants obtain- ed home runs, both to the left field stands.
 Cincinnati gained an even break in a double bill with Brooklyn, the Dodgers taking the first to 3 be- hind McGraw's good pitching and the Reds the second 2 to 0, when Carl Mays delivered five-hit per formance.
 A Cardinal bombardment Of 15 hits was almost equalled by the Phillies but St Louis won, to B. with Ray Blades and Bill South worth leading the attack.
 The Boston Braves won their fourth straight game by taking the first of the series from Chicago to o, Bob Smith besting Charley Root in a pitching duel. Only four hits were made off Smith.

Washington Wins Again

The Washington team turned back another strong contender for honors yesterday afternoon on Diamond No. I2 when it defeated the Boys club team by an II to 4 score. Lipka. lthe Christy Mathewson of the High street team, occupied the mound again and although a trifle wild in Ispots, turned in another wonderful Itwirling performances allowing only IsiX scattered hits, walking five and striking out 15 of the opposing bat lters.
 Herman Schmarr worked for the losers but ragged support especially in the pinches made his best efforts go for naught. He weakened after several err DTS had put him in the hole and allowed 10 hits in all and walked five.
 The Washington team got away to an early lead, getting three in the first, one in the second and two in the third. Both teams got one in the fourth, the club scoring for the first time. Another in the seventh and two in the ninth totaled the clubs efforts for the day while Washington added four with one in the sixth, two in the seventh and one in the eighth;
 The Washington team played rag ged baseball, some of the players ex- Iperiencing an off day, but Lipka frightened up in the pinches and kept the club from scoring too many runs in a bunch.
 KovaIeski was the heavy hitter for the club while ZembroWski starred at short. Toczko lined out three hits. one of them a triple whila Luty played a nice game at second for Ithe winners. The score:
