By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 5.-The where
abouts of James Mullen, Chicago
boxing promoter, was the cause of
some concern among his friends
today after 1t was reported that the
promoter had not been seen since
Tuesday night following his last
fight card.
Mrs. Mullen said her husband was
out of town, but did not know where
he was or when he would return.
Friends Of the promoter said he
apparently disappeared Immediately
after his fight show in the New Mill
Stadium Tuesday night. That show
marked Mullen's entry into the field
of low-priced fight promoting and
was considered one Of the most sue
cessful he had carded for some time.
The Chicago Tribune today said
that at the time of his disappear
ance, Mullen was believed to have
been carrying most of the $4,000
gate receipts and that the fighters
on his card had not been paid. The
paper expressed the proba bility that
something sinister might have hap

PETERSBURG CLUB MUST
GIVE KONETCHY $1,000

CHICAGO. August S P).-One of
the largest minor league salary claims
to reach the base ball supreme court
in long time was granted today by
Commissioner Lands to Ed J. Ko-
netchy. for many years star at first
base for several National League
teams. Konetchy's claim was for his
1924 salary-s1, 050-as a member of
the Petersburg club Of the Virginia
League, and although the national
board Of arbitration Of the minor
leagues ruled against Konetchy, Ian
dis decided in the players favor.
The Petersburg clubs defense was
that it had understood Konetchy waiv-
his back-salary claim in order to be-
come a free agent.
Lands pointed out that he was q
free agent without waving this claim,
because Of the rule that no player can
be held on a ball clubs reserve list
who has back salary due and unpaid.

considerably brighter today.

Washington was taking both ends Of
q double header from the st. Louis
Browns, who occupy seventh place in
the standing.
Tho Boston victory was the teams
eighth in the last II games, and was
the third straight over Chicago. The
Red Sox are still eight and one-half
games behind st. Louis, but the
Browns are playing poor base ball.
Miller Higgins Yankees gave just
the faintest indication they are In
slump by dropping another game to
Detroit, 6 to 2. The Yanks today face
the task of winning the final game OF
tho series or losing their first series at
home. The New York club has lost
only one series this season, to the
Athletics at Philadelphia.
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig had
nothing to say in their home-run duel.
Ruth went htless and Gehrig collected
a double and single in four trips to the
plate. Owen Carroll, the Detroit
hurler let the Hugmen down with five
hits.

ZACH'S ARM SHOWS
NO SORENESS" NOW

Old Tom Zachary may have had a
sore arm while he was with the
Browns but it seems to have become
a very well arm since he joined the
Nationals. Zach has improved with
each of his four starts on the pitching
hill since he changed his style of uni
form and has TO his credit as
National hurler three victories and no
defeats.
He was not so impressive in his
work against the White Sox on July
20. when he made his season debut
as a member of Bucky Harris club.
Then he yielded II hits and . passes
for 3 runs before being relieved with
one gone in the seventh inning, but
he was given credit for the game. In
his next start at st. Louis on July -,
the veteran left-hander gave up y
hits for runs in going the route and
won.
But against the Tigers here a week
ago, he pitched remarkably well for
nine innings, allowing just three hits
and as many walks for two runs. lie
was reached for three hits and pass
that gave Detroit a tally in the tenth,
though, and after he was hit for
triple by the first man to face him
in the eleventh inning gave way to
Garland BraXton, who was named
winner.
zach's work against the Browns
yesterday showed that his fine nine
inning performance against the Tigers
was no fiuke. The old fellow evidently
is to be Of great help to the Nationals.
Sam West was feeling clipper
enough yesterday to don a uniform
and get into practice, but the young
National outfielder soNn was laid low
again when he hurt the same leg
that was so severely charleyhorsed in
st. Louis. Now he is apt to be on the
shelf for another week.
Clayton Van Alstyne. pitcher, re-
Gently recalled from Birmingham, was
expected to arrive today. He is mo-
toring from Dixie and probably will
do some more touring about the coun-
try before he is pressed into service
on the hill. as he is not to bother
about base ball until he has fully re.
covered his strength. Overwork while
with the Barons all but put the hurler
out of commission for the remainder
of the season.
Zach twisted his right foot when he
ran into the first sack in the fourth
inning of the first game yesterday and
had to retire temporarily. The acct
dent resulted in Fred Marberry being
accorded a great honor for him, that
of being made pinch runner. Fred
got as far as third base before the
frame ended, then the bandaged Zach
came back to his pitching.
