PRESBYTERIANS
IN OPEN BREAK
IN ASSEM- BLY,
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire,

BALTIMORE, June 2. - An open
break between the fundamentalists
and liberals occurred at the close of
the 1S8th general assembly of the
Presbyterian church in the U. S. A.
today when DR.. Clarence Mccartney,
fundamentalist leader, issued a state.
ment charging that a coalition of
modernists and others had served to
bring the assembly to ia terrible cli-
max"
An attempt to introduce the state
ment as a resolution before the as
sembly by floor commissioner was
defeated, as this constituted new busi-
ness, and Moderator Thompson point
ed out that the constitution forbids
Introduction of new business so late.
The statement had been circulated
hardly more than an hour before DR..
A. Edwin Keigwin, chairman of the
assembly's committee on overtures,
issued flat denial of DR.. MacArt-
ney's statements.
Saying that "our church is rapidly
drifting away from its historic and
fearless witness to the great truths
of the reformed faith" DR.. MacArt-
to awaken Presbyterians to this fact.
The statement in part follows:
"The complete and sweeping victor
won in this general assembly by the
coalition of modernists, Indifferent
lists and pacifists, and which reached
a terrible climax in the reputation
of DR.. J. Gresham Machen for the
chair of apologetics, in Princeton
theological seminary, will prove a
blessing in Disguise"
The Machen case referred to was
the decision of the assembly today ia
postponing approval of the seating Of
Professor Machent until after a COM
"temperamental idiosyncrasies' against
him and the condition of affairs at
the seminary.
The debate on the floor of the as
sembly waxed warmer than any other
of the assembly and was participated
in by leaders of both groups.

(Rv DISPATCH A. p. Wire)


WASHINGTON, June 2.-Cross cur
rents of legislative tendencies in the
prohibition situation were in evil
dence today as the stream of pro-
posals in both houses of congress
neared the whirlpool of final com
mittee consideration and action.
The conflicting trends were parti-
cularly in evidence before the house
judiciary committee, which referred
to subcommittee the Britten
resolution to block the presidents
executive order to enlist state and
local police officers in enforcement
activities. A few moments later it
received from a subcommittee with
out recommendation the Stalker bill
to make Jail sentence mandatory upon
first offense conviction on charges
of manufacture, sale and transporta-
tion of liquor.
The Stalker measure, almost identi-
cal with a bill by the New York
member approved by the judiciary
committee at the last session of con-
gress, was sent back to the judiciary
committee untouched after several
hearings had been held by the sub
committee.
Chairman Boies, of the sub com
mittee, said his group could easily
reach an agreement upon a recon-
mendtaion" but that he felt it was
unnecessary in the face of action
upon a similar measure at the last
session
Proposals for a referendum and
modification of the Volstead act will
come before a senate judiciary sub
committee, while measures to tighten
up enforcement, will be considered by
the house judiciary committee

Ninth Baseball
Week Begins to
Show Club Status
By PAUL w. WHITE
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 7.-Thc ninth
week Of the baseball season finds
the National league tightening up
and the Yanks continuing to hold a
wide lead in the American league.
In the senior circuit one of tho
closest races in years is forecast,
with only AZ games now separating
the first place Cincinnati Reds and
the sixth place st. Louis Cards. In
the junior organization II games
separate the Yankees from the Clcv-
Gland Indians and Detroit Tigcrs,
tied for fifth position.
One of the principal features in
tho National league pcnnant chase
is the return to form OF the Giants.
MrGraw 5 men are once more rCgu-
larly and with a long home stay
ahead of them may be expected to
furnish the western clubs some cred
liable opposition.
With only one percentage point
between the Brooklyn Robins and
the Cards and the fifth place Giants
somewhere in between, each day is
certain to make changes in the
standing and slips are sure to be
costly.
The batting leadership in the Ma
tiona league has been captured hy
"Kiki' CuYlcr within the past
week. The Pittsburgh cloutcr is
smuggling at il 500 rate and is closely
followed by "Babc' Herman, the
Brookivn sensation, with .36l.
Joe Dugan continues at the top
of the American league batting aver
ages but he has been out of the game
almost Il month. Babe Ruth is close
up on the heels of his team mat
with a. 800 percentage against the
40 mark Dugan set before he spit
one of lis fingerS.

frey, the negro giant of Lcipervillc.
in the feature bout of the week for
Southern California.
The pair are scheduled to go 10
rounds at the Olympic auditorium
Wednesday night.
The bout looks like one Of the
best heavyweight battles that has
been lined up in this section since
boxing became legalizcd in the stat"
Wiggins is capable fighter who
has never shown symptoms OF t
glass chin,' the most prevalent
affliction among fighters Godfrey
has met here. Godfrey has only
been given one good fight in the
southland and tnat was by Martin
Burke, of New Orleans and George
toyed with Burke.
Wiggins has had more experience
than Burke and he is considered Il
much better boxer. He has become
known as Il nemesis for fighters vino
weigh over POO pounds.
Godfrey has not fought for more
than three months. He has been
acting in the movies at Catalina Is
land But at the same time he has
been training with sparring part
ncrs on the island and is in good
condition.
Imperial Valley press., 1926-06-07

that has been fixed up for Friday
night Of this week.
Heading the bill IS a ten round
row between Dick Hoppe, who needs
no Introduction to Imperial Valley
fans, and Bus Barrie, the clever San
Diego scrapper who has been here
ON several occasions.
Shortly after the war, when bouts
were being held in the old Tulane
thcatcr here, youngster went into
the ring one night and took lick
that he had the house with him
from start TO finish. That was Dick
Hoppe, who fought here for several
years aftcrward, until called to the
coast by bigger money.
Dick has met them all-JOhnny
Adams, Tommy O'Bricn, Tommy
Carter, Ace Hudkins, Tommy Cello,
and every good lightweight that has
ever amounted to anything in coast
pugilism in the last six or seven
wears. He hasn 4 always won, but
he has fought every time, and the
crowds never have been disappoint-
ed when lie crawlcd through the
ropes.
Big Drawing Card
Time and again efforts have been
made to get Dick down here, but
something always put the kibosh on
the plans and he has not shown here
in the past two years. He is still
rated IA topnotchcr on the coast and
is a big drawing card.
in Barrie he will meet tough
rugged youngstcr, who shoots from
the south side Of his anatomy and
shoots hard. Bairic has always
pleased the crowd here, and is "a
mighty good drawing card.
Second only to the interest in
the Hoppe Bairic ruckus, is the re-
appearance in the ring of Tony Es,
calantc, the clever CalcXico boy who
ran string of victories up last
wear that made him the king pin of
the fcathcrwcights i'll this neck of
the woods Not once was Tony set
down with AN adverse decision
against him. and he fought some Of
the toughest birds that the directors
could dig up for him. There have
been many howls for Tony this year,
bat the clever Mexican lad hung up
his gloves during the winter and
did not intend to take them down
again, having a good job in Il com
mericial house AT CaleXico and he de-
cidcd to stick to it.
Lure of Ring Wins
The lure of the ring proved too
strong, however, and Tony has been
in strict training for the past month,
getting into shape for the first avail
able job in the boxing line that the
promoters could arrange for him.
And the promoters have picked a
tough one for Tony to hop over in
staging his comeback, the tough
party being none other than Fran
Lie Argor, fcathcrwcight champion
of Mexico. The title is not flukcv
one, as Argon won it in the same
tournament at Mexico City that
gave Joe Brown his lightweight
title in the southern republic. Ar
pou went ont from CalcXico three
years ago, without any reputation as
"A boxer and is now able to demand
being addressed as "Champ.'
This f.scalantc- Argon bout should
he Il RATHER from start to finish and
is exciting almost as much talk
among he fans as the main event.
For the balance of the bout "Cap y
Stevens is picking the preliminary
BOYS with considerable care. Follow
ing last week S excellent card, when
the fans yelled themselves hoarsc
over four good scraps, "Cap' wants
to keep up the good work and he is
planning on having four first class
fights this week.
