On these terms Frank Kersey,
she TTaverly chief, withdrew his
threat OF an injunction to restrain
the Mohawks from meeting the
Apaches next Sunday, date on
which the Mohawzs had contracted
to play Waverly.
The naixup occurred when the
MOhaWks and Apaches postponed
their game scheduled for last Sun.

Kerrey made it clear that his
attitude in the matter had not been
that Of the dog In the naanger.

We thought would be the last
day We could have ct the parIk.

not treated fairly in the matter so
We took steps to look out Tor our
own interests. We've since learned
that we could have the park q

MohawIxs from playing the Apaches
N they are now scheduled"
Football - all over for some
athletes, but not the sandlotters.
In truth, their big time has just
arrived. At Iea&t two and perhaps
three Of their most important games
have yet to be played.
The championship warfare has
narrowed down to three teans-Mo
hawks. Apaclles and Waverlys.
If the M0hawks whip the Apaches
next Sunday they viii have yet to
reckon with the Waverlys. who beat
the MohawISa. TO 0, but lost a later
and fiercely contested game to the
big Indians, 1S to Z. Thus it is
figured that the Mohawls and
Waverlys are close to even in their
1eud. Anyway, they've booked an
other clash TO settle the matter def
nitely.
If the Apaches whip the Mohawks
and Waverly trims the Mohawks a
week later. an Apache-Waverly
game would be in order.
The Mohawks admit that Waiver
his team is the toughest they have
encountered this season. i
It seems odd that the Waverlys
and ApcI1es haven't met already
I'm the present campaign. They
have been rivals for several
seasons.
In the meantime. the Mohawks
and Apacl1es are taking full advan-
tage OF the extra week In which to
practice. The difference between
victory and defeat Sunday. when
translated into finances. will mean
3 difference OF 20 per cent OF the
gate, always an incentive for a sand
lotter to hustle. Couple this with
the natural and bitter rivalry be-
tween the Apaches and Mohawks
and the prospect for q hot contest
seems bright.

To overcome the boycott, CARR
gan could do no more than to pro-
duce a winning team. He did
that, thereby winning the ale
legiance of the fans.
To produce a winning team,
Carrigan had to smooth out the
squabbles within the club. He did
that with commendable diplomacy
and in 1915 and 1916 led his team
to pennant triumphs.
It was with shock that the
baseball world learned Of CARR.
gan's retirement following the Red
Sox victory over the Brooklyn
Dodgers in 1915.
Many efforts have been made
to coax him back during the past
ten years. All have failed until
now, Carrigan preferring to be Q

champion OF the world. His title
won from Deacon Tiger Flowers Of
Atlanta, Ca, here last Friday night
on the decision OF Referee Benny
Yanger, has been given the official
o. K, Of the Illinois boxing com.
mission.
The aromatic decision went to the
commission laundry on application
of Walk Miller, Flowers manager,
who asked for reversal Of Yanger's
award on the grounds that 1t un.
Justly deprived Flowers of his lucra-
| tive title. A large majority Of the
10000 persons who saw the fight
agreed with Miller's contention.
In upholding the verdict of the
man they had appointed to super.
wise the proceedings. the boxing 80
Ions agreed:
"That there WAS no collision
or crOOLedneSs on the part OF
the referee Benny Yanger), and
that this commission Is OF the
opinion that he gave his decis-
ion i'm this contest as he saw it
and in accordance with the rules
as promulgated and adopted by
this commission under the State
law"
However, to prevent recurrence
OF this situation. the commission
stated that after January ]. decis'
| ions will be rendered by two judges

Pennsylvania.
Only two members OF the com.
mission were present at yesterday 8
meeting. They were Chairman John

attend, nor did he vote on the
| Walker.Flowers question.
Walk Miller was present when
the verdict Of the commission
was announced. He took the
decision i'm much the same spirit
that Flowers took it last Fri.
day night-with a show OF good
spOrtsmanship. He said:
'While I am disappointed with
the finding of the commission, !
| feel they have exerted every eft.
fort to right the injustice that has
been done in depriving Flowers III
his title. The rules do not permit
reversing a decision.
TT is understood that Tex Rick.
ard will promote a return match
| In New York. feel certain that
Flowers will stop Walker when
they meet again"
Immediately after the meeting,
Miller left for New York without
making good on the Sensational
statements he threatened to make
