PROMOTER OF FIGHT
SK|PS WITH CASH
Backer of Canzoneri-WoIfe
Go and $50, 900 Missing
After Battle.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW ORLEANS, La, September
M 21.-A wide search was inau-
VI gurated today for frankie
i Edwards, promoter of the
Canzoneri-Wolfe lightweight
bout here. who faded out Of sight last
night during the ring battle with some
$4,000 of the gate receipts.
After waiting many weary hours for
the promoter to appear at the pay-off
window, small army Of creditors in
GLIDING the principal fighters. Tony
Canzoneri and Eddie kid" Wolfe, took
their case to the Louisiana Boxing Com
mission, who in turn carried it to the
district attorney.
The district attorney requested the
police to bring Edwards in, but ad-
mitted he did not know whether the
boys who fought and worked around
the arena without getting their pay had
anything against him except a civil
suit. Edwards left behind enough
money to cover the Government amuse-
ment tax levy and paid some of the
preliminary fighters.
While Wolfe and CanZoneri were
mauling each other in the ring to the
wild cheers of the spectators Edwards
vanished from the park. His next
known stop was his home, where his
wife said he called and drank cup
of coffee and went out saying he was
going to call on some of the boys. That
IS the last that is known to have been
seen of him. Mrs. Edwards said last
night she felt sure he would come in
during the night, but late today ex-
pressed some concern over his disap-
nearance and suggested he may have
met with foul play.
First alarm over his sudden departure
was raised by the so policemen who did
special duty at the park during the fight
with an agreement for remuneration.
They were met by the sad miens Of the
fighters managers, who said they had a
little matter" they wished to see Ed
wards about Canzoneris manager said
he was due $4,000, while Wolfe's man
ager said they were due SIS 800 and were
dead broke in New Orleans, as they de-
pended on the purse.
Oficial cognizance Of the affair was
not taken until midday today, when the
boxing commission brought it to the at
tention of the district attorneys office.
IT was never treated this way before
IN my life" walled young Wolfe through
swollen lips and with bruised and cut
face, II took all OF this beating for
nothing"
Canzoneri departed for Chicago and
left his manager and his father to fight
out the financial settlement.
Friends of Edwards still maintain he
will come back and pay of everybody.
He had to hide out, they said, to dodge
collectors and touchers.' But the boys
who have been left holding the bag
don't take much stock in that line.

Tommy Loughran's bid for heavyweight
fame against Jack Sharkey by forcing
two postponements of Humbert j. Flu

EbbetS Field in Brookland. This show
will be put on Monday. Campolo,
toughest and most promising Of the
seasons mammoth developments, con-
tracted a pain just where his area Is
widest, the back, and elimination Of the

Sharkey Gets Another Chance.

which didn't help him any.
Then along came Max Schmeling,
colorful, easy to ballyhoo, with some
physical resemblance to Dempsey, of
which the most was made, and with
speed and punch. After his match
with the fading Pauline, he looked like
a natural. He wasn't quite as good
as they said he was, but he was good.
But then Tommy got the breaks;
three OF them In row. Jimmy Brad
dock had been coming along like q
prairie fire. He had busted opponents
Jaws and knocked likely looking rivals
kicking. He was fast, durable, am
bilious and his right hand was sup
posed to be pass to any hospital
With Tommy making weight, they
said that Braddock would take him
before the bout was half over. Lough-
ran not only gave Braddock a boxing
lesson, but threatened at times to
knock him out.
Schmeling Gets in Wrong.
Meanwhile, Schmeling refused to
box Phil Scott and got himself barred
In New York. Then he ran out on
the Garden, which, to keep its con-
tract with him, was preparing to take
his match with Sharkey to Detroit.
That barred him with the Garden
1t also gave Loughran his chance.
When Carey called Tommy in and
offered him the match with Sharkey,
he almost cried with JOY. He told me
that. after he got away he had to keep
telling himself that it was true, that
his chance had arrived.
So, when he climbs into the ring
with Sharkey. there will be no doubt
as to Loughran's effort to give his best.
And Sharlyey is Just annoyed enough
to fight one Of his good fights.
This should be quite a battle.

GREENTREE EASILY
WINS POLO TROPHY
Whitney's Four Upsets Col.
legiate Old Aiken Team by
18 to 8 Score.

season, was abruptly checked
today by the galloping Greentree team.
In an Unexpectedly one-sided climax
to brilliant high-goal season, Jock
Whitney's outfit overwhelmed the ma
tional junior champions. 10 to 8, and
thereby captured the Monty Waterbury
Cup, handicap trophy named for O star
of the original American Big -Four"
Old Aiken, benefited by a 2-Roai
handicap concession, started of at q
fast clip, leading by 40 after q few
moments of play but thereafter the
youngsters were badly trimmed by the
smashing Greentree attack, featured by
the work of Winston Guest, young in
ternationalLst, and Eric Pedley, the
stocky California ace. Guest tailed
goals and Pedley in an individual
scoring bee that furnished almost the
only competitive feature of the game.
Guest Outstanding Star.
Guest, a star at Yale before he
gained international fame, and a 9-goal
rating, showed the younger college gen.
Grafton how polo is played He was all
over the field, breaking up Old Aiken's
curacy, particularly in the first half,
during which he scored of his 8 goals
and was the main factor in the Green
trees margin of 1916 at half time.
Pedley came up from his No. 3 posi-
ton in the last half to pick up the at
tack where Guest left of. The Cali
fornian shot three goals in rapid sue
cession in the seventh chukker. It was
a rout after the third period, when
Jimmy Mills tied the score for the last
time. The team play and hitting Of
the junior champions, so sensational In
conquering Tommy Hitchcock's four last
wednesday, was completely lacking. In
fact, so badly outplayed were the
youngsters that they failed to score
again, from the field until the last
chukker.
Rathborne Scores for Losers.
Then it took a wild scramble for J. C.
Rathborne, back, to drive the ball
through. Twice previously he scored
on foul shots.

ALIENS LAWYERS ASK
CIVILIAN TRIAL BOARD.
RECORDS SHOW
PREJUDICE,
THEY SAY

1t is impossible, in view Of
the present sentiment towards
Policeman Robert j. Allen on
the part of other members of
the police department, for him
to secure a fair hearing before
the Police Trial Board, his
counsel, H. Ralph Burton and
Tench T. Marye, stated in a
letter sent today to the Dis
trict Commissioners. 7 h e y
asked for a civilian trial
board.
This prejudice is almost unani-
nous in the department, the lawyers
charged.
LAS shown by the records of the
police department, Private Allen has
been involved in the past in various
controversies TO which the depart
ment as a whole and practically
every member thereof have been
parties either directly or indirectly,
the letter says:
Has Many Arrests
The records mentioned include
several appearances OF Allen before
the trial board before. as we'll as
numerous arrests by his fellow Of
ficers for petty traffic violations.
The majority of the latter were dis
missed by Traffic Court judges.
The first occasion on which AL
len broke into print in a manner
which displeased his fellow officers
was almost two years ago when, be-
fore a meeting of the Policemen's
Association. called for the special
purpose Of considering Congress
sional criticism of the department,
he demanded reform from the in
side" and charged that prisoners
were being treated brutally by mem
bers.
A few months ago Allen was
called before the trial board in con
nection with the shooting of q
colored man. The man was shot in
the heel as he fled from a crap
game and refused to halt a the Of.
ficer's command.
JuuSfncHt ONeTIuleu
Despite the fact that manv such
| shootings had been held 'in line
Of duty" the trial board recon-
| mended that Allen be dismissed
from the force. The District Com.
missioners overruled this verdict.
Another instance Of prejudice
cited by the lawyers concerned a
report made Saturday to the De-
partment of Justice by a ""nl".-,
tary committee" of the polic' de-
partment. The report the result
Of a lengthy investig alton, it was
said, was purported to show that
ribbons representing military serv-
| ice which Allen wore on his coat
were faxed and that he wore sew
eral to which he had no right.
1t is expected that Aliens trial,
| scheduled for Wednesday. will be
postponed for at least a week.
