he opened his theater and pre-
Sented a show for the benefit Of
charity.
All patrons were permitted to
enter the Magruder show house
free. A collection for charity
was taken UP inside, some Of the
patrons contributing more than
the regular ticket price.

the different theaters gave their
services free and the traffic divi-

opened long lines Of patrons had
formed and were waiting to get
inside. Many Of these were
women and children.
Receipts of the unemployment

tions given by numbers of persons
who, although in sympathy with
the cause, could not attend tne
performances. One man who said
he came from Dorsey, Md, left
five $40 bills at the central police
station.
One tragedy marred the day.

MINORS TD MAKE
 REPLY ID MAJORS
Open Warfare Promised Between Big and Small Ball Leagues

Chicago, Aug. 5.-lP-The reply Of the big minor leagues to the major leagues u!-matum demand ing acceptance Of the universal draft was In the making today.
 The minor organlzations-the American Association. Internationa. league and the Pacific Coast league had planned 10 meet to consider q renewal Of the modified draft agree ment which has governed relauIs between the majors and the minors since 1923. but the recent demand by the former, that the universal dratt be accepted. destroyed the original issue
 At recent joint meeting. the American and National leagues de cIded that all player relations with the three big minor orga anizatIons. as well IS with tho Western and Three Eye leagues. would cease afr- cr December l, unless the universa, draft WAS accepted
 Promise Of open warfare was gIv- en when the International. Ameri- can association and Pacific Coast groups, decided 10 fight the demand President Thomas J. Hickey of the American association expressed the opinion that the difficulty would be "threshed out when the minors met in joint session, but this was considered doubtful and an open break loomed.
 The so-caiIed non-draft minors claim that the majors are to blanc for the situation, and that the ulti- matum was a repudiation of the greement of 1921. The majors in- sist that their relations have not been good because the minors have ignored their pleas for a readjust- ment of the player situation.
 The present, or modified draft agreement was made in 1923 after the majcrs had withheld players from the leagues in question for one year. Under the existing plan, only players who have been "up," may be drafted from the International American association, Pacific Coast Western and Three Eye leagues.

CHOCOLATE MAY
 FAIL 0N WEIGHT
Experts Figure Cuban Can't
 Give Away Poundage

Nev York, Aug. 5. R)-The ques- ton of weight, considered a big fac tor in Sammy Mandell's recent knockout defeat at the hands of Al Singer, has bobbed up again to con- pliCate the arguments over Kid Chocolates ten round joust with Jack (kidD Berg at the Polo grounds Thursday night.
 In Mandells case the question was whether Mandell could make the lightweight limit without ap- preciably weakening himself; in Chocolates case. it's whether the flashy Cuban Negro fcatherWeight can afford to give away eight or ten pounds to the human windmill, Berg. Mandell failed, whether be- cause of the weight no one can tell, and the gambling fraternity is will ing to wager to that Chocolate will fail too.
 In his own division--for the Cuban is a natural featherWeight Chocolate has been invinCible. He "j4lptu 'Dl44Stl dL I-o pcul4uS anu waded through an imposing list of other high-C class feathcrweigh 10 clearly demonstrate his class. A box ing marvel with speed to burn, the Cuban has a punch in the bargain.
 But in Berg, he will be meeting another great fighter and one to whom he will have to conCede a big bundle of weight that may cast the deciding vote in the ten round struggle. The Whit itechapel Hebrew has established just as brilliant a record among the lightWeights as Chocolate has in the featherweight division. A tireless puncher, Hers has not felt the need of a punch in any of his bouts thus far. A ripping tearing battler, always on the move, punching from any angle, Berg has won the big majority of his fights simply because the other fellow was too busy defending himself to do any attacking himself. With such an ad- vantage in the weights as Berg will enjoy, few of the experts believe Chocolate can win except by a knockout,

 Rosenbloom was credited with six rounds. Dix with three, and one was scored as even. The bout was fought at sizzling pace.
