u. S. CHAMBER TO SEEK
POSTAL RATE REVISION
Excessive Rates Have Decreased
Mail and Caused Loss of
Money. Committee Believes.

The United States Chamber of Com
merce has formulated plans for re-
questing a revision Of postal rates at
the coming session of Congress.
The postal service committee of the
chamber holds that excessive rates
have resulted in a decrease in the vol
ume of mail and a loss in revenues.
An overhauling Of the departments
bookkeeping system also is to be
asked, with a view to differentiating
between less-than-cost service and rev.
enue producing service, so that the
deficit, which the committee contends
the former produces, may be charged
to the general Treasury, and not be
borne by the general mail users.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, June 16.-Six prom
inent contenders for the world
lightweight championship and two
aspirants for the welterweight
crown, appeared at the Polo
Grounds Wednesday night for the
entertainment of Col. Charles Lind
bergh and 10000 spectators. The
affair was benefit for the Catholic
Boys Club which will receive
slice of estimated receipts of
$275,000.
Out of the melees of the aspiring
>title contenders came with the most
prominence Sergeant Sammy Baker,
Welterweight soldier from the flying
field at Mineola, and Sid ferris, the
wispy young lightweight from New
York's east side.
Baker became the outstanding
rival of the new welterweight
champion, Joe Dundee, when he cut
Ace Hudkins, the celebrated Wild
cat from Lincoln, Neb., to pieces in
seven rounds. The referee was
forced to stop the fight.
Terris furnished the drama of the
evening, when he knocked out his
rival East Side lightweight, Ruby
Goldstein, in l minute and AZ sec
onds Of the first round.
ferris was knocked down for the
count Of nine by a right hook and
barely rose to his feet in time to
beat the full count. He dashed into
a wild counter attack and found
Goldstein's jaw with a terrific right
uppercut that put Goldstein out for
almost five minutes.
The other headliners on the card
made only ordinary showings.

O'Reilly's Help
Bud OReilly, his amateur part
iner, never will get the credit due
him, chiefly because he was not al
lowed to help much, but Bud lent a
good lot of good moral support and
he certainly had the ball there
enough for Neal to take chances.
A young Elwood doctor, H. F.
Newcomer, came down with H. Wal
ter and treated the boys to mighty
nice tee shots. Walter played an
almost perfect last nine holes and
the pair turned in II. Along
came Ralph Stonehouse and Dave
Parry, with another II, which made
things more intricate.
It took a f1ve-hole play-off to de-
eide that Walters and Newcomer
were second prize winners, and had
not Stonehouse made the error Of

it might be, and used a putter while

No Surprise
for Many in
McGraw Plan
Some Believe John Will Give
Way to Hornsby Next
Year.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL


NEW YORK, June 16.-The an
nouncement of John McGraw that
Rogers Hornsby would succeed him
as manager of the New York Giants
did not come as great surprise to
New York fans or those in other
cities, who were familiar with the
inside affairs of the club.
McGraw in giving his vote of con-
fldence to Hornsby in st. Louis
Wednesday, did not mention any
definite time when he would turn
over the active management of the
club to his captain and star second
baseman. but it was taken almost
for granted that he would do it at
the end of the season.
Close friends said McGraw has
been preparing to retire for several
years and desired to remain in
harness only until he had completed
his twenty fifth year as manager
He is in his twenty-fifth year now
and his fondest ambition was to win
National League pennant and a
world series this year.
The playing of the team this year
was severe disappointment to
him. He spent lot Of money to
get Hornsby, Eddie Roush, Burleigh
Grimes, Al Devormer, Harper and
raft of high paid rockies and only
Hornsby delivered. The Giants
looked like ranking contender for
the pennant in spring training, but
they have failed to date.
The rumors Of dissension on the
Giant bench have been heard all
during the season, and, from relia-
BILE sources, there are reasons to be-
lieve they are true.
McGraw signed a three-year con-
tract last winter to continue as the
manager of the club, but that
doesn't mean that he will be held to
it. He is vice president and one
third owner of the club.
