BALL MACNATES
STRUGGLE WITH
CLUB DISCIPLINE
Several Stars Threatened
With Suspension Unless
They Pep Up
By HENRY J.. FARRELL
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

NEW YORK, July 23-Owners of
major league baseball clubs, who
have been struggling for. recent
years with problems pertaining to
freak deliveries, intentional passes,
Sacrifice fly rules and other tech
nical questions, will find them
selves at their winter meetings
against another cross word puzzle.
The theory has existed 50 far that
the most effective way to discipline
ball played who missed a signal,
who hit when he was ordered to
bunt and who ran to the fence when
he should have grabbed fly back
of second base, was to sock him III
his most vital spot-his wallet.
So far this season all kinds of
discipline has been visited upon
ball players whose actions on the
field were not in accordance with
the managers idea of hustler.
Grover Cleveland Alexander, the
great. went down the river from
Chicago to st. Louis because ne
didn't agree with his manager.
Joe Bush, of bullet ball' fame,
was given papers from Washington
for reasons that "Bucky y Harris
has not made public.
McGraw just has Threatened lrish
Mcuscl and George Kelly with a
place on the bench if they do not
Show more interest IN thcn Jobs.
McGraw said in st. Louis that Mcu-
sci and Kelly had been missing slg'
mails or ignoring them and that his
whole club was sadly in need Of "a

RICHARD STATES
DEMPSEY
SCRAP HELD Up
Contract Signed Last
Year Binds Champ. to
Battle Harry Wills.
By EDWARD G. DERR
United Press Staff Correspondent)

CHICAGO, July 23.-Tex Rickard
announced today that all plans for
a DempseyTunney match for the
world s heavyweight championship
will be held up until he makes GER
tain of the legal status Of the con-
tract he has with Jack Dempsey.
Wednesday evening Rickard an
nounced that Dempsey would meet
Gene Tunney in title bout in Chi
cago either on September II or
September IS. He WAS inclined to
smile at suggestions that he would
be unable to stage the fight be-
cause of previous contract Demp-
sey signed with the Chicago Coli
scum club.
The DempseyTunncy fight was
certain, Rickard said then, and
most everyone i'll town placed their
confidence in Rickard.
But last night Rickard was given
some fresh information on the mat
ter Of the old contract Dempsey had
with the Coliseum club and he CON
sidered this information 50 impor-
tant that he announced today moth
ing further would be done regard
ing the Dempscy-Tunncy fight un-
til he investigates this information
with the aid Of lawyers.
Signed Contract
The information Rickard obtain
ed last night was something like
this:
Late in 1928 Dempsey signed a
contract with Floyd Fitzsimmons,
the Michigan City promoter, where
in Dempsey agreed to meet Harry
Wills, the negro contender. Fitz-
sin'mons backed out on his plans to
stage this fight and agreed to sell
his contract to b. G. Clements, pres
ident of the Coliseum club for $780,
900, which amount was to be diVid-
ed between Dempsey and himself.
Clements then went t. California,
interviewed Dempsey and obtained
DempscY'S signature on an option
paying the champion just $40 for
his signature.
Later Fit2simmonS attempted to
collect the $l50,00D from Clements
but his sight draft was refused pay
ment. Neither he nor Dempsey
have collected cent from Clements
and it is understood they have moth
ing on paper to show That Clements
owes them anything.
This makes Clements so option
| on Dempsey services binding
coming contract and under this op-
tion Dempsey must meet Harry
Wills in Chicago before he takes on
Tanney.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
July 23.-Jack Dempsey has no con
{ Germ about the news that =. G. Glenn
cnts. president of the Coliseum club
/ in Chicago, claims Il valid and bind
ing contract with him to fight
Harry Wills.
"Clements has no more contract

"Clemcnts haSn t contract OF

Press yesterday. Clements cam,

Sixth of Gasoline
Pumps Tested Proved
To Be Inaccurate

State Deputy Sealer of Weights
and Measures, C. o. Brown, who has
been conducting gasoline pump tests
throughout the State for the past
few months, announced Thursday
that out of 1854 pumps tested by him
this season, 16 and 2-5ths per cent
We're found to be inaccurate.
THE pumps were in about every
case giving short measure" he said;
less than l per cent were found to
be throwing more than the gallon re-
quired. The percentage above given
does not. however, include the large
numbers of pumps found with the
gas SO low in the tanks that the
pumps were incapable of being oper-
ated efficiently. With the gas below
certain level. too much air Is
drawn up with the gasoline, and thus
the purchaser fails to get anywhere
near what he pays for"
Mr.. Brown said that at the present
time there are between four and five
thousand gasoline pumps in Maine,
and added: There are so many that
few of the owners of private pumps
are now able to make any money to
amount to anything. In the course
of my inspections I found many
pumps that are not being used fire.

Game Birds Are
Still Lingering in
Inland Waters State

Federal Game Warden Bertrand
Smith Of Portland arrived in this
city Thursday from East Machtas,
where he has been on a brief hunting
trip.
Mr.. Smith has charge of the en-
forcement of the Federal Migratory
law work in the New England states.
and Is probably the best informed man
in this district as to actual condi-
lions surrounding migratory birds.
1.-THE duck hunters are complaining
that there are fewer ducks than usual
In Merrymeeting bay, as we'll as the
inland waters Of the State" he said
The warm weather has kept the birds
from migrating as early as usual, and
l have reliable reports from the St
Lawrence river stating that the river
! Is black with both ducks and geese.
and that heavy flights will arrive here
following the first cold storms. There
are plenty of ducks and there will
also be more geese than usual"
Mr.. Smith announced that he in
tends to draft a new bill to introduce
at the coming Legislative session in
regard to restriction of duck hunting
at Merrymeeting bay.
"At present the ducks are driven
out OIL the pay rs 1dSL as they come
in" he said. THE bill will provide
for one closed day each week, prob
ably in the middle of the week. 1t
will prohibit the use of floats for
chasing the birds until November 1st
of each year. The number of decoys
that can be used will be limited"
He stated that the majority of the
duck hunters in the vicinity of the
bay will favor such a bill, and that
during the past few years the general
interest in similar conservation meas
ures has greatly increased, as the
hunters generally appreciate the value
of such protection.
1--WE have absolutely stopped market
hunting in Maine, and in most of the
New England states. 1t was a we'll
organized business, but that day has
passed, and the benefits of stopping
market hunting is already very appar-
ent. Last spring, opposite the mouth
Of the Yarmouth river, I saw a raft
of geese more than two miles in
length. + counted 100 geese across
this raft in the widest portion and
there were four in the narrowest part.
Within a few years the geese will
again be breeding on the coast of
Maine, a condition which has not ex-
listed for years. I also have a report
from a Mr.. Reed, member of the
