POLICE INQUIRE
into MYSTERY
in BOSTON CLUB
lBy Dispatch A. p. wlrel

BOSTON, July GA police investiga-
tion into some phase of the manage
ment of the Boston National league
baseball club is being carried on, it
was learned here tonight, after Judge
Emil E. Fuchs, president of the club,
and Manager Dave Bancroft visited
the Brighton district police station.
The club owner and his right hand
man were closeted for more than an
hour with Captain Anderson. The con-
ference ended with the summoning of
a special officer. The four left the
station and were gone all day.
Judge Fuchs tonight admitted that
an investigation was in progress, but
declined further comment. Asked if
the probe centered around any club Of
ficial or was the result of the disap-
pearance of funds, the owner replied
he had nothing to say at this time"
The judge left for New York tonight
to be gone until Friday, but declined
to indicate whether or not an announce
ment will be made before his return
Other club officials refused comment,
referring all questions to Judge Fuchs,
but one admitted that there's whale

Reds and Cards.

Cincinnati and st. Louis continue to
surprise in the National league.
With the season half over, these two
clubs are showing the way in the
senior organization.
What makes the play of the Reds and
Cardinals all the more surprising is
the fact that both have labored under
severe handicaps since the opening of
the season.
1t has been baseball precedent, more
or less, that a club with a rookie at
the all important position of short
stop, could not be given serious con-
sideration as pennant contender.
Cincinnati has been up against that
proposition. A recruit, Frank Emmer,
has held down shortstop, but the club
is out in front.
On the other hand, the ST. Louis
Cardinals have kept within striking
distance of the leaders, even though
the two outstanding batters of the
club, Rogers Hornsby and Jim Bot
tomley, have been way below form all
season.
If these two great hitters get going,
keep your eyes on the Cardinals. Their
work during the last two weeks. makes
it seem as if they were on the way.

a check for one dollar to compensate

handed to the Blisbee Daily Review

ion as to the whole affair and 1 Will

which will at least pay you in part

Sheriff McDonald's reply reads:

YOUR doing that" And with that the
question was dropped
Later I took a drink and here the
report comes out that Sister said she
would go all day without drink and
in half an hour she was drinking" p"
That is Just sample of the traps
thew set and the things they will use
to get a story.
AS for myself, I do not know what
TO say except Praise the Lord! l
know that Jesus Christ will bring all
things right in His own good time"
"You know" says somebody else,
"that Sister had 100000 people to well
come her the first time she came
home and only about half a dozen
when she returned the second time.
That was because Sister tried to
slim out and back again quietly and
she called nobody butt taxi driver
to take her and her mother home.
Sees Revival
think now that 1 realize what it
is. We are in the midst of an old
fashioned Holy Ghost revival. God
is in His workshop. Souls are being
saved. The old devil did not want
the money perhaps, so much as to
discredit Sister McPherson's story, to
cast a reflection upon her integrity
and upon her character. 1 think he
is a. pretty slick old fellow, and l
suppose the same hand that planned
this thing in the first place and scat
tered so much false report is the same
hand that is feeding the criminals
now.
1 had not meant to say a word this
afternoon about this. My business is
not to say anything about it, but to
preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and
get just as many souls saved as L
can. I realize I am good big target
for the devil and that I am in the
front line trenches. 1 should not be
surprised if the old devil tried to
finish me off one of these days and L
should be picked out to be a martyr.
Praise God, if should be counted
worthy for such a gravel The great
thing is to live every day for Jesus,
to see these affairs filled, to come in
with a smile, to take up the days
task and carry on. I see great cloud
of revival coming and I believe if we
could get to praying. and praising the
old devil would put his tail between
his legs and we would see nothing of
him for dust going down the road,
Everybody praise the Lord and let us
say
80, God keep us in your worshop
and have Thine own way"
And all the people said-"Amen."

Arizona Postmasfers To
Meet in Mesa in April
(l.y Dispatch A. F. wire)

PRESCOTT, July 6.-Arizona post
masters will meet next April at Mesa,
it was decided at this afternoons ses-
sion of the annual convention of the
Arizona Postmasters' association.
James A. Jones of Phoenix, president
of the association, in an address be-
fore the convention, said that "the
progress of the state cannot be better
judged than by the business of it's
postoffices." He cited that more than
$4,000 in cash is handled by the
Phoenix postoffice every three months.
ct is necessary to keep on hand more
than $6OO,OOO worth of stamps to care
for the activities of the city, he said.
The capital city, he added, may be
taken as criterion of the progress
of other cities in the state-"Arizona
is on the upgrade"
Thirty postmasters were in attend
ance.

nnne Takes Tumble.

If the Yankees had run true to the
form the experts predicted this spring
the American league would now have
great race on ITS hands
The Yanks proceeded to upset the
dope, put on two big winning streals
of 16 and eight games. and by playing
500 ball the rest of the time, have re-
tanned the advantage gained by the
two streaks of success.
Thus far it has been race for sec
ond place with the Yanks so far out
in front. The closeness of the battle
for the place position is also the re-
suit of form reversal.
Washington, the pennant-winner OF
last year and Philadelphia, the run
nerup, have come back to the rest OF
the field. Instead of playing up to
form, both have slipped considerably
from their showing of last season
Detroit has also faltered a. trifle
while Chicago and Cleveland have
about run true to form.
The chart of past performances has
meant nothing SO far in the 1876 pen
nant race in the American league.

LAST AMATEUR CARD OF
 FEAR TOMORROW NIGHT
Herman Fink and Gunner Gordon to Appear in Star Bout-Johnny Clinch to Lead String of New Brit ain Boys Into Battle-Star Battle Sure to Furnish Knockout Thrills--Next Show to Be Given At State Armory On Friday Evening, January T.

The amateur boxing season of 1926 will be brought to close at the state armory on Arch street to. morrow night when the Mohawk X. C. will stage, under the supervision of tho Connecticut A. A. L., one of the finest card Of bouts to yet bs seen in this city. Topping the eve ning's entertainment will be the clash between Gunner Gordon and Her man Fink of Hartford two lGO pounders while the feature of the evening will be the appearance of several New Britain boys.
 Johnny Clnch will be matched against an opponent in the 135- pound class and will be followed by five other New Britain boxers. Eddie Lewis will show his wares as will Joe Notter and Joe Cote Louis Dehm will also be matched in the card. Frank Frederick, the south- ern boy who last week lost his fight by disqualification in the third round, has been signed again this
 
 of his style. he should pull through with a win.
 The star bout of the evening be- tween Herman Fink and Gunner Gordon. will bring together two sluggers of heavy proportions. Fink. especially is being favored to win over his hard hitting opponent. He has kayood his last three opponents but he will have hard time to put away Gordon.
 Gunner has a row of knockouts to his credit that would be impressive ir any circles. When he stacks up against Fink tomorrow night. the bout should be a. tiercer one than that between Hall and Terzo of last week which ended abruptly in the first round when Hall connected several times with Terzos jaw.
 With two such heavy hltters meeting, one of them must fall and there isn't any doubt whatever that each wants to put the other out of the running. Both boys have been bowling over everything in their class and find now that one is an obstacle in the others way.
 The next show to be conducted by the club will be on Friday night, January and Matchmaker J. J. Whaler promises to have a record breaking card on for the opening show of the new year.
