of the Washington NaNonal Guard.
The party was brought to Olympia

$4,000, 600 capitol building where pic
lures were taken of Governor Hartley
and the title holder.
1T is a pleasure to have the respect
and admiration of the people of this
state" said Tunney, land 1 hardly think
that 1 am worthy of the honor be-
slowed upon me.
ct is my first visit to the Pacific
and my greatest ambition at
this time is to become resident of
Washington.
81 am great admirer of your gov
ernor"
Governor Hartley during the audience
said that II have wished many times
that l had the ability of Mr.. Tunney."
He said the world likes fighter if
he fights square.
Il hope that I can absorb little
of the foundation that holds up this
said the governor, 80 as
to help me carry on in the state

Passing OF BerIenbach

Mike McTigue surprised by knock
ing out Paul Berlenbach, former light
heavyweight champion in four rounds
Is that to be regarded as a come
back on the part of McTigue, or a
complete reversal of form by Berlen-
bach? I am inclined to the later
opinion
Paul Berlenbach is through as a
fighter. Lacking a defense, Berlen-
bach succeeded in the ring because
of his indomitable courage and will
to win. In victory he invariably
took plenty of punishment.
The three or -four blows thai
Rerlenbach was willing to absorb
to get over one wallop have exacted
their toll. He is through. In his
last two or three fights chat fact
has been apparent.
Berlenbach has plenty of money.
He should retire. Fighters seldom
do at the proper time, Their hardest
lesson to learn is the fact that they
are through.

N. Y. Commission Probes
BahtOmweight Battle; :.
Dishonesty is Charged

NEW YORK, Feb S.-(R-To answer
charges that dishonesty existed in the
contract for their match last Friday
Charley (PhiD Rosenberg and Bushy
Graham, together with their managers
were ordered today to appear this Fri
day for q hearing before the New
York state Athletic commission.
All of the principals in the investiga-
tfon are under indefinite suspension in
the meantime, the commission an
nounced in addition to which the money
due both fighters for the bout has
been ordered withheld.
Through Chairman James A. Farley
the commission refused to elaborate on
it's investigation into the affair." but
it was disclosed that the honesty of
contract" entered into by Rosenberg
and his manager, Harry Segal, with
william j. Parr, Graham's manager,
was under question. Rosenberg won
the bout from Graham at Madison
Square Garden in Is rounds, but for
feited his championship by scaling
122H pounds, four and one-half pounds
over the bantam limit
Graham, chairman Farley intimated,
is regarded as an innocent party in
the situation, but it was pointed out
that he necessarily is involved in any
contract negotiated by his manager.
Graham came in under the class limit
at 1171a pounds.
Until the Rosenberg Graham affair
is Strengthened out, the commission Will
make no move to authorize an elimina-
ton tournament or otherwise deter
mine the successor to Rosenberg as
champion. 1t declined today to accede
to a request from Eddie Long, Fman-
ager of Bud Taylor of Terre Haute
for recognition of Taylor as champion

PLAYERS Rig GnmhIe

1t is surprising the interest that
men prominent in other businesses
take in ball players whom they be-
lieve have big league ability.
Connie Mack is the authority for
the sta cement that he has had players
recommended to him by men in every
walk of life. Incidentally, Connie
has never failed to answer one Of
these letters to express thanks for
the interest.
Digging up ball players is the
biggest gamble in the world" re-
marked major league scout to me
recently
Everybody is always offering tips
to you and they come from all sec
tions of the country. A scout would
need an airpIane to cover his ter
ritory if he tried to look over all
the players recommended.
"a majority of the letters simply
go into the waste basket and get
no further consideration"
AS a rule the scouts follow more
closely tips that come from men
who have a baseball background.
Perhaps it is a mistake.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 (P.-The Ma
tional league put itself on record to-
DAY as willing to go Commissioner
Landis one better i'll penalizing ball
players who make gifts to another
club as reward for performances
in any stage Of the pennant race.
The commissioner, as result ct
his recent scandal Investigations
urged regulation fixing years H.
iegibility as punishment for max
ing such gifts, but the National
league clubs in mid winter session
today recommended that the penalty
be increased to three years.
Testimony before the commissioner
in his hearings into the Risberg
Gandil charges at Chicago brought
cut admissions by members of the
White Sox that in 1917 they raised
Il pool to reward Detroit players
for beating the Boston Red Sox IN
a crucial series. It was generally
understood that this practice was
common a decade ago among pen
nant-contending clubs in the ma,
jor leagues.
The National league also put It's
full stamp of approval on the COM
missioners other recommendations
growing out of the scandal probe
These include:
l. A statute of limitations by
which charges such as those OF
Risberg and Gandil would be out
iawed after five-year lapse;
2. Inelgibility for one year for a
player who bets on a game other
than one in which he performed;
8. Permanent ineligibility for
player who bets on game in which
he participates.
The American league, aTso meet
ing here, deferred definite action
on these regulations. Acting Presl-
dent Frank j. Navin said they had
been tabled until the next meet
ing which is not scheduled until
nextx winter, but baseball men un-
derstood the proposed new code of
rules would come up tomorrow at
a meeting of the joint major league
steering committee"
Both leagues ratified the 1927

tober 2, one week later than last

Mandan has already beaten Dick

but it is a hard-fighting aggrega-

Maulc, experienced center, is a
mainstay Of the Midget team and
proved to be the chief thorn in the
Braves side in the last game. He
will be in again this Friday and
will do his share toward keeping
the score down.
Helbling's sickness is abot the
only casualty on the Brave squad
this week. He had q bad attack

GREAT BRITAIN
SENDS SEVERE
NOTE TO RUSSIA
Threatens to Sever Relations
Unless fragrant Violations
of Agreements Cease

London, Feb. 24-LP)-Great Brit
ain threatens to sever diplomatic
relations with soviet Russia "unless
the fragrant violations of the sol
emn agreements between the two
countries cease" and soviet authori-
ties call halt to Bolshevist propa.
ganda. A note to this effect has
been sent to the soviet government
through its emissary in London.
The note is couched in vigorous
language. 1t is described as one Of
the most outspoken diplomatic doc
uments ever formulated by the Brit
ish foreign office.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, the Brit
ish foreign secretary, makes the
blunt statement that the relations
between the British government and
the Union of Soviet socialist repub-
lies continue notoriously of an un-
satisfactory nature" He declares
that "thcrc are limits beyond which
it is dangerous to drive public opin-
ion in Great Britain" and that a
continuance of the breaches Of the
agreement sooner or later will cause
a break between the two countries.
Speeches Quoted
"Despitc the soviet governments
public protestations of friendship,
says the note 1.-THE highest officials
dcfamc and misrepresent Great Brit
ain" The foreign secretary quotes
speeches of NJ. Tchitchcrin, soviet
foreign minister, and other officials
and extracts from Bolshevik news
papers and manifcstos.
Sir Austen declares there has been
frequent violation of the undertake
ing Of the soviet not to support,
financially or otherwise, any move
ment designed to foment discomfort
Or rebellion in the British empire.
In conclusion the note says:
"The British government trusts
that this protest and warning will be
received by the Union Of Soviet So
cialist republics with the attention
they require, and that no further
cause for complaint may be given
Dissatisfaction Increases
For two years there has been in
creasng dissatisfaction in Great
Britain over Anglo-Soviet relations,
with political leaders calling on the
either to send strong
protest to the soviet or to
break off relations. There was par
bitter feeling when, during
the miners and general strike of last
year, large sums of money came from
Moscow to support the movement.
The protest, which is the sixth in
"A series. nowhere is expectd to affect
the conditions over which complaint
is made. The attitude of newspaper
except among the ex-
tremists Of either side, is mostly
whats the use?
