Revolt Fails to Materialize.
BARCELONA, Spain, December Is
R.-Expectations of a general strike
in sympathy with a republican revolt
failed to materialize here today and
there was no walkout in any trade. Btu
siness and transportation facilities con-
tinued normal, but the authorities took
precautionary measures to prevent dis
order.
Only few republicans, most of them
comparatively unimportant, have been
arrested, and the general impression
was that the artillery revolt at Jaca
Saturday would have no serious re-
percussion here.

BAKER IN SERIOUS
SHAPE FROM BOUT
SO Badly Battered by Cans
He CoIIapses and Now

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, July 3-Sergt. Sammy
Baker, the veteran New York welter-
weight campaigner, was in serious
condition today from head injuries suf-
fered in a lactng at the hands of Baby
Joe Cans of California in their H.
round fight at Taylor Bowl last night.
Baker collapsed in the last round and
was taken to st. Alexis Hospital, where
an X-ray was ordered today to learn
whether he was suffering from a hem
orrhage Of the brain or q fractured
skull
Baker, Keeling from Cans onslaught
and at the limit of endurance from
eight knockdowns, staggered backward
and sank to the canvas after q minute
and 35 seconds of the final round. AS
Referee Matt Brock tolled nine, the
New Yorker gamely pulled himself to
his feet to face another two-fisted fail
ing from his Negro rival. He sank to
the canvas once more and this time
Referee Brock ruled 1t q technical
knockout.
The stricken fighter was carried from
the ring, moaning in delirium and half
unconscious, and was taken to the hos
pital in an ambulance after first refus-
ing to leave his dressing room.
Baker won only three rounds. the
third, fourth and eighth, although he
twice felled Cans. Nearly 1000 spec
tators alternately cheered and booed
the pair, who some time ago fought a
vicious 10-round draw at Madison
Square Garden.

Displays Title Possibilities
in Defeating Risko in

HICAGo, July S.-Gerald Am
brose Grifiths, the aspiring
heavyweight hope from Sioux
City. Iowa, has changed his
ring monicker from Fluffy" back to
Fighting for the position he once held
as heavyweight of championship
caliber, Grifhths sienced his ohiding
critics at the Chicago Stadium last
night by giving "Rubbery" Johnny
Risko, the big cake baker from Cleve-
land, a sound thrashing in 10 rounds.
1t was his third victory over the no.
torious despoiler of championship hopes
and by far his most impressive.
Casting aside his usual care, Grifhths
carried the fight to Risko from start
to finish, winning nine rounds decisive
ly. He outslugged and outboxed his
rugged rival and cracked him almost
at will with his shower of lefts, rights
and hooks.
Risko, veteran of many q tough bat
tie against even tougher fighters than
fluffy" stood upright through it all,
however, and never was in distress.
Riskos best round was the second, when
he made Griff1ths back pedal with loop
ing hooks to the head and body. Crit
flths had some trouble eyading his rush.
but came back in the next round and
stayed in front.
From a financial standpoint, the
match was far from a success. Less
than 10000 watched it and the receipts
only totaled approximately $4,000.
In the preliminaries, Paul Swiderski,
the Syracuse, N. Y, heavyweight, out
pointed Frankie Simms of Cleveland in
10 rounds and TAFT Littman, Milwaukee
lightweight protege of Richie Mitchell,
won the decision in eight rounds over
Ted Ross, Chicago slugger.

BUELOW'S DEMAND
REFUSED BY BOXER
SChmeIing Won't Go on With
Sharkey Scrap Unless
Given Release.

By the Associated Press.
n EW YORK, July 3.--A COM
N plicated financial argu-
l ment in which Joe Jacobs
and Arthur Buelow appear
to be endeavoring to outwit each
other, has suddenly terminated
the plans for a return bout be-
tween Max Schmeling and Jack
Sharkey at the Yankee Stadium
in September.
Yesterday Madison Square Garden had
Sharkey's name on a contract, and had
hopes of getting Schmeling's signature
through Jacobs, when Buelow, the Ger
mans deposed manager, bobbed up with
an eight-page document that was en-
tirely unsatisfactory to Jacobs, who now
Is in charge of Makes interests.
Release Is Demanded.
When Schmeling first offered to give
the Boston sailor a return bout, he did
so with the proviso that he be given an
out-and-out release from Buelow, 10
whom he is under contract until October
ID of this year. Sharkey agreed to see
that Buelow got his rs per cent of the
net gate receipts, but in his lengthy
document Buelow retained the right TO
sue Schmeling for any other renumera-
ton he thought might be coming.
And upon that clause hangs the fail
ure of the match to go through, as
Jacobs said nothing doing Schmeling
must have a positive release.
In the office at the garden, awaiting
delivery, is check for 331a per cent,
the managerial cut of the June fight
between Sharkey and Schmeling Seven
and one-third per cent of this amount
is due Jacobs under an old agreement,
while the remainder goes to Buelow.
BuelOw Goes to Law.
Buelow already has taken legal steps
TO recover from Schmeling his share OF
the Germans earnings since his fight
with Pauline Uzcudun last July. Since
that time Make has appeared in a
moving picture and made an exhibition
tour Of the United States and GERMANY.
1t seems that BueloW is willing to
waive his right to his cut in ali OF
Something's ventures except In his June
fight with Sharkey Jacobs is willing
that Buelow get his rs per cent cut OF
the September fight, If there Is one,
and which Sharkey viii pay, but he
wants Buelow to forget about the check
being held in trust by the Garden.

question. Anyway, Vernon O'Mera, who

Far be 1t from me to answer yes

this year it will be because of
McGraws smart trades with Cincin-
natl, which brought Hughie Critz,

the teamwork and defense that was

NEW FOUL RULING
IS HELD ILLEGAL
Lawyer Son of White, Ref
cree, Says It Conflicts With
State Boxing Law.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The legality
of the Boxing Commissions edict doing
away with the disqualification of a
boxer for landing a low punch is ques-
toned by Charles White, an attorney,
son of the famous referee of the same
name. White has appeared in many
cases connected with boxing and has
made study of the boxing law of this
state.
ut is my opinion" said White in
discussing the no foul" edict, that
the law itself specifies that the bouts
In this State shall be conducted under
the rules and regulations adopted by
the Army, Navy and Civilian Board Of
Boxing Control
These rules are practically the same
as the Marquis of Queensberry code and
provide for the disqualification of a
boxer who disables his opponent by a
blow delivered below the belt.
THE State Athletic Commission is
not empowered to change the law itself
and that is what is done when the
rule on fouls is so changed. The
Legislature, and not the commission,
has the power to amend or alter the
law"
In looking up the law it is discov-
cred that paragraph 20 of the act reads
as follows:
Weights, Glasses and Rules.-The
weights and classes of boxers and the
rules and regulations of boxing shall
be the same as the weights and classes
and rules and regulations adopted by
the Army, Navy and Civilian Board of
Boxing Control, Inc, and the Interna-
tional Sporting Club of New York, Inc"
In view of the specific declaration of
the law itself 1t is possible that boxer
could go into court and upset the COM
MISSIONS mo foul" rule, even though
any contestant entering the ring first
will have been obliged to sign q con-
tract including clause waving the
right to claim a foul.
The new rule, hastily framed, will be
amended to clear up some doubtful
points when the commission meets next
week, Chairman James A. Farley stated.
