situation to berate the young man.
This. in the last analysis. seems to
be the most effective way to fight
a fight.
With the decision all but blown,
they sent Slattery out sprinting
again in the fourteenth, at which
point Loughran already had seven
rounds in his favor. It was an
emfnently proper move, but 1t came
too late. For the last part Of the
fourteenth, which was even, James
fairly dazzed his man with speed
and, throughout the fifteenth. he
was well in front. But this was !
l5-round fight. They don't nav off
on a round and a half.

Washington's Palace five has no
more league competition now until
the sturdy Fort Wayne team shows
up here next Sunday night for the
first two games. However, the ath.
letes will be kept busy with ex-
hibition contests and practice ses.
siOns in the hopes Of hitting q WIN
ming stride before it is too late.
The Palace team won a thrilling
victory last night from Detroit, 80
to q. 1t was their second triumph
of the season and the boys are
feeling better today as result.
With less than a minute to
GO Detroit was leading. "a to 26,
Johnny Beckman having sunk
two free losses. The end seemed
at hand but the Palace lads
meant business. They were not
quitting. Suddenly Saunders
grabbed pass from Meyers and
shot q field goal, the bali rolling
around the rim before settling.
That put Palace in front and,
just to make IL more binding,
Conaty shot another field goal.
George Marshall shook UP his
team before the game started.
Saunders relieved Grimsted at CEN
ter: Kennedy and Carey went to
forward and Conaty and Ripley
were the guards. This makeup
flashed some snappy stuff, though
the loss Of Bob GrOdy via the per-
sonal foul route proved a heavy
blow to Detroit's hopes.
The home quint got away to a
flying start and at half.time en-
ioyed a neat lead, % to IL. But
Detroit took the play away with the
opening of the second half and
succeeded in getting out in front
by a single point with a minute or
so to go. Then came those field
goals by Saunders and Conaty and
victory for Washington.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-ThA
annual winter gathering Of the
baseball clans swings into its Sec
Ond day this afternoon with the
meeting of the National League a.
the chief event on the program. A
board Of directors was to be
elected and the annual financial re-
port and other routine matters were
to be taken up.
Although managers and magnates
have created a bullish trading
market in the various hotel Hobbies,
no swaps have yet been engineered.
While the steering committee was
steering safe and sane course
behind closed doors. the managers
steered the conversation away from
proposed trades with equal eau
ton.
Most Of the trading talk
centered on the st. Louis
Browns and Detroit Tigers.
Manager George Moriarty, Of
the Tigers, put Heinie Man.
ush and Lou Blue ON the
block for outfielder Harry Rice
and George Sister or . st.
Cleveland offered to trade out
fielder Homer Summa and Pitcher
Frank Miller for Rice and Pitcher
Elan Van Glider, but the Browns
declined.
1t was considered a certainty
that Sisler would be traded, possibly
to Washington in a three-cOrnered
deal with Detroit. The Indians,
who need first baseman, were
unable to get Sisler or Blue. The
st. Louis Club, having decided to
let the sizzler go, also will need
q first sacker.
The Athletics and the White Sox
also would like to obtain Sisler.
However, the offer of the Sox to
swap First Baseman Clancy and a
pitcher for the former St Louis
pilot met with little or no enthusi'
asm.
Cleveland is in the market for a
second baseman, as Fred Spurgecn
has broken his arm and may not be
able to play next season.
The Yankees met with q chilly
reception when they made OF"
fers for three pitchers - Uhle
and HudIin, Of Cleveland, and
Ruffing, of the Red SOx. New
York trading material consists
Of PaSchal. GazelIa. Merchant
and possibly ShOcker and an.
other pitcher.
Little trading talk was preached
by National League managers, most
of whom are content to stand pat at
present. The Cardinals will trade
Flint Rhem il they can get one OF
three pitchers they are seeking.
The American League will meet
tomorrow and the two leagues will
hold a joint meeting on Thursday.

They liked what they saw but
apparently they didn't like what
they heard. Personally, the writer
regarded the verdict as a bit finely
drawn about the eyelids but, at
that, Loughran won, if anybody
did. Certainly. the way I saw it,
Loughran didn't lose.
However, that is neither here
nor there, because when the

sour, they stay called and no

Of the occasion, the intelligcntsia

James was just q quarter horse

But, in the stretch, It was Stat

going and, just because they almost
passed each other on the way, the
button-hole makers went yammering
into the night.
1t was LOughran's speed In
the middle Of the fight that got
him the nod. Slattery was
clearly ahead at the end Of 10
rounds, having weathered some
heavy punching to the head In
the early rounds and then
coming along to take the play
away from his man by left
handing him out of position.

Enlisting in the Union army as boy of 17 from his home in lI"h- mondville, \. Y, James Tanner was soon made corporal, a title which clung to him even after he had been United States commissioner on pen sions and ComInander-in-Chiof or the Grand army. While serving in the EiEhty-seventh New York Volun- teers, Corporal Tanner, at the age Of IS, was wounded so seriously in both legs at the Second Battle ot Bull Run that his legs were amputa''d above the knees, Thereafter he used artificial legs.
 He had fought through the penin- sular campaign under General Phil Kearney, taking part in the engage ments at Warrenton, BristoW station and Manassas. Returning to New York, the maimed soldier was ap- pointed as an employe of, the state legislature at Albany, where he studied law and was admitted to the bar. His war experience and legal trainingihelped to make him an in tluential factor politically and he was a nominee for minor offices in Brooklyn, where he was defeated. For q time he earned his living as a book canvasser and finally was employed in the Customs house in New York, where he rose to be deputy collector of customs.

 Meanwhile, Corporal Tanner had become a familiar figure on the po- litical platform. His political iniIu- ence was enhanced by successful speaking campaign in Indiana in support of the presidential candidacy of Benjamin Harrison. His appoint ment as commissioner of pensions came after Harrison took office in 1889.
 In the practice of law in Washing ton Corporal Tanner prosecuted the claims of many soldiers against the government, fought in their inter ests before congressional commit tees and obtained the passage by congress of measures giving pen sions Of S100 a month to soldiers who had lost both legs or who had been blinded.
