paid higher than the other workers,
the average wage being S22 for SIS

and 60 on the day shift.
"Doffers and spinners get about
$40 a week. Doffers have to help

Chicago. Aug. P-Illinois box ing affairs will be administered after August 10 by group other than that composed by Paul Prehn. Sam Luzzo and Al Mann.
 Governor Louis l.. Emmerson yes terday requested the resignations of the present Illinois state athletic commission, with the brief comment that such a change would un- doubtedly be for the best interests of boxing in Illinois"
 The action came just before the Sammy Mandell- Tony Canzoneri lightweight championship fight last night and circumstances in connec- tion with distribution of tickets for the battle were believed to have been largely responsible. It had been known for some time that the governor was contemplating a change in the personnel of the com mission, and Promoter Paddy Har- mons protest against the alleged ticket g"ab, of the retiring com mission was believed to have has tened his action

"Bucky'' Charged With Saying

New York Aug. 3.-(P)-Bucky Harris probably is just as well satisfied that his latest visit to the enthusiastic playground of Connie Macks pennant- geared Athletics is all over.
 Bucky seldom makes mistakes but Philadelphia critics believe the De- troit manager pulled one" when he gave an interviewer the impression that he thought the Athletics were becoming a trifle high hat" over their present high estate in the American league race.
 Harris insists he intended to give no such impression. AS he pointed out, he has given the As all due credit for making a great race. Yet the populace was quick to leap upon him in the accustomed fashion when the Athletics were quick to jump upon the Tigers.

STAR SCULLERS
 ID MEET TODAY
Knneth Myers Hopes to Lift
 Title From Joe Wright

Springfield. Mass, Aug. P9- Kenneth Myers, crack sculler of tho Bachelors Barge club of Philadel- phia, has high hopes of turning tho tables on Joe Wright, former Cana dian and international champion. when they clash today in the cham- pionship single sculls, the classic event of the National Rowing asso- ciation's 57th annual regatta.
 They matched oars several years ago in national regatta and the famous Toronto bladesman defeated Myers so decisively that he has been yearning for revenge ever since. This pair of oarsmen. probably the swift est on the continent, were due to row against two other noted scul- lers. Russell S. Goldman of the Union Boat club. Boston, and w. E. Gar rett Gilmore, Myers clubmate. over the Connecticut rivers curved mile and a quarter course.
 Goldman and Gilmore completed in yesterdays competitions, as did Myers, but their performances were far below the standard he set when he defeated three Canadian charI- pions, Jack Guest and Johnny Dur nan of Toronto and Elswood Boles of Winnipeg. in the final of the as- sociation single sculls. This victory placed Myers in the championship sculling, an event closed to all but winners of the association race.
 Since their first meeting Wright has won the diamond sculls, which he lost to Dunthur of Holland last month at the British Henley, ard Myers has gained rowing fame by becoming the runner-up in last years Olympic sculling at Amster- dam.
 The regatta's second day pro- gran! included several other feature events such as the senior eight-oaced shells, which has an entry list con- taining seven crews, the senior 145- pound eight cared shells. the senior 145-pound double sculls. and the senior quadruple souls, the senior four cared shells without coxswain and the quarter mile dash for sin gle scullers.
 During the morning the delegates 10 the National Rowing association convention were to elect officers for the coming year and ratify the se- lection of Boston as the site for the next regatta.

SCHMELING IS ORDERED
 TO MEET PHIL SCOTT
New York Commission Again Re- verses It's Decision With
 Regard to EugaZy.

New York. Aug. 3 (UP)-The New York state athletic commission again has reversed itself.
 The latest ruling of New York S boxing rulers is that Max Schmel- ing. German heavyweight, must meet Phil Scott of Great Britain, and no one else, before he can return to the ring in this state.
 Two weeks ago the commission. charged with showing favoritism to Jimmy Johnston, Whose brother handles the affairs of Scott in this country, issued a statement declaring that they were interested only in protecting the rights of Humbert J. F'ugazy, who holds the contract for that fight, and that they were not requiring Schmeling to fight Scott, but any opponent named by Fugazy.
 Yesterday FugaW offered Tom Heeney, New Zealander, as a sub- stltute for Scott, with the word that Joe Jacobs, who is seconding schmeling, was favorable to such !. match.
 The commission at once reversed it's former decision, ruling that Schmeling, to regain the license re- voked last week. and to gain the right to fight in New York, must fight Phil Scott.

Detroit, tied with the As last week, found the pitching more difficult in the east and slipped to third with a mark of .3O1. Philadelphia had collected a season total of 63 } runs, and had restricted opposition to 377.
 Connie Mack's pitchers continued to dominate the hurlers working in turn, with Robert Moses Grove lay ing out the route. Grove won one against only two defeats. while Rube Walberg accomplished two triumphs to make his record 16 wins and five defeats. George Earnshaw's collec- ton was the same as Walberg's. Tom Zachary of New York won an- other game and brought his record to six straight victories.
 The team fielding leadership re- mained with Philadelphia which had a season average of .976, the same as q week ago. St. Louis, with .9T3. and the Yankees with .972. remained in second third places respectively with the same figures as week ago.

MANDELL EASILY
 DEFENDS GROWN
Tony Canzoneri Receives a Neat
 Boxing Lesson From Champ

Chicago Aug. 3 W0Tony Can zoneri the chesty one" has gone the way of all featherweights who become too ambitions and Sammy Mandell master ringman and boxer, still is the lightweight champion of the world.
 Attempting to achieve what John- ny Kilbane, Johnny Dundee and many other featherweight compa- triots failed to do, the flat nosed New York Italian gamely challenged the Rockford sheik for his heavier crown in the Chicago Stadium last night, but received nothing but neat boxing lesson. the decision go- ing 10 Mandell after 10 stirring rounds.
 Mandell won mainly by speed and boxing ability. After losing the first two rounds because of Tony's rushes and right hand attacks that caught him off guard, the champion calmly cuffed his rival with his long left and choppy rights to pile up de- cisive margin.
 Tony had a chance only in those first two rounds, and it was the best chance any challenger ever had against Mandell. But he couldn't follow it up. Manders defensive craft nullified Canzoneris fiery charges and as often as he landed the New Yorker saw his own punches fly into space.
 Mandells accurate left hand, call ed the best in the business, fired sharply and true to the challenger's face and at the final gong Tony's face was well puffed up. No blood was shed by the challenger, however even though Sammy concentrated his attack on the cut over Tony's eye suffered in his first bout as a light weight against Phil McGraw in New York three weeks ago. / Tony surprised by coming out in the first round and scoring a series of stiff rights to the face. Sammy was cold and he went into clinch when in danger. His left wasn't well oiled and absence from the ring had hurt his aim. As consequence l Canzoneri for time madeigood his boast of being able to Keep away 1 from Mandel's best weapon. The third was the turning point and in that session the feal Mandell went to work. Canzoneri didn't have chance thereafter,' but he did plunge in hoping to land one para lyzing wallop to the chin. Dave Barry, central figure in the much disputed fourteen count of the Dempsey -Tunney fight in Chi | cago. was referee and cast his vote for Canzoner. Judges Ed Klein and Phil Collins agreed on Mandell. Col lins was third man in the ring when | Mandell won the championship from Rocky Kansas here on July 4, 1926. | More than 24,000 witnessed the fight. An unofficial statement Of receipts placed the gross receipts at s165,O0. Of this sum, Mandell re- ceives 40 per cent and Canzoneri 20 per cent
 ,, The champion was far from satis-
 fled with his performance even though he won, while the challenger said he thought he had won.
 T just couldn't get started" Sam
 my said. q was cold at the start and
 not until the final round did I feel anything like my old self. But l won, and that was my plan"
 If Mandell carries out his an nounced intentions, he will next at
 tempt to get a match with Jackie Fields for the welterweight title. He outpointed Fields before he won the welterweight title and is confident he l can repeat.

Play will be continued in the city cham pionship series tomorrow aft ernoon when six of the seven teams engaged in the playoff will clash in three games. The contests will be staged at St. Mary's field, Willow Brook park and at the Percival ave- nue grounds in kensington.
 The Burritts will meet the Fal- cons at St. Mary's field Sunday. There is a natural rivalry between these two clubs that puts the inter- est in the game at fever heat. Large followings of both clubs are going to turn out to watch the battle. The contest will start at 3 o'clock.
 At Willow Brook park, the Cor bin Red Sox will be after it's second victory in the playoff. The Sox tumbled the Senecas last Sunday and Johnny Tobin is out after an- other victory. The team meets the Sollols and this means no easy op- position for the red-hosed crew. Tue Sokols threw a real scare into the Bufritts in their game last Sunday and showed surprising strength. This game will start at 3:15 o'clock. k kensington will entertain Johnny Cabay's Holy Cross crew tomorrow afternoon at the Percival avenue grounds in Kensington. This will be the first game in the series for both of these teams and there IS nlpptV of interest beiDp cbown in the play of both combinations. The contest will be at 3;15 o'clock.

 An incident of the series involved an attempt 10 present Harris a silk topper on the field but the Tiger pilot. suspecting a ruse, refused to emerge from his dugout when the gift-bearing fans requested his pres ence on the field for a ceremony. The uproar was great nevertheless.
 It was recalled that during the heated political and baseball days of 1928, Philadelphia partisans pre- sented brown derby to Babe Ruth, who somewhat discomfited the authors of the joke by immediately donning the headgear and even go- ing so far as attempting to go to bat with it. Few attempts of either fans or players to embarass the Bambino have ever been successful.
 There probably will be quite a re- union of the old Chicago Cubs and Athletics, rivals in the Worlds series of 1910, if the modern editions of these teams, now doing the pace setting, meet again in the Worlds series.
