31ST K. o. FOR RETZLAFF
Hub City Fighter Had Been Ad-
vertised as a Battling Heavy
weight From Boston

st. Paul, Aug. 8.-(F-Ricardo Ber-
tazzola, advertised as battling
heavyweight from Boston, fell down
twice last night during two rounds
with Charley Retzlaff. the much
mentioned walloper from Duluth,
MINI.
AS a result, Retzlaff was today
credited with his 31st knockout in IS
starts-and the Boston battler was
suspended by the Minnesota boxing
commission.
This suspension means automatic
similar action by the National Boxing
association, of which the Minnesota
group Is a member.
Bertazzola went down near the end
Of the first round without being hit.
In the second, when Retzlaff aimed
q blow at him, the Bostonian fearful
began falling. BY the time Retlazz's
glove reached where BertaZzola was.
only the fringe of his shoulder was In
reach.
The third time Bertazzola gave
gravity q break was when Retzlaff
shot a couple Of punches with both
hands, the Bostonian rallied on his
stomach for a while, then got up on
his heels and sat there until the
count reached nine. At ten, the ref
cree Ed Shave waved Retzlaff to his
corner and proclaimed him victor.
After the suspension, the Mime
sofa commission nevertheless voted
to pay the fighters in full.

St. Louis Standing
In National League
Is Laid to Hurlers
PhiIs Are Betting Less Lively
Ball at Great Rate Without
Getting Anywhere
(By The Associated PreSs)

One Of the great contrasts in base
ball is found in the first and seventh
place teams of the National League,
the st. Louis Cardinals and the Phil
lies. For a couple of years the Phlls
have been considered as a great team
except for its pitching staff while the
Cards have put mound work a bit
above the other departments Of play.
This year, a less lively ball was ex-
pected to bring some sort OF change
but the Phils continue to belt the ball
at q great rate without getting any
where while the Cardinal hurlers have
put St. Louis far ahead.
1t took great exhibition of hitting
by Chuck Klein, star slugger of the
Phils, and dismal pitching display
by Clarence Mitchell to give Phila-
delphia l3 to victory over the New
York Giants yesterday. Meanwhile
the Cards, with about the same
amount Of hitting, coaSted through to
an easy 8 to 0 triumph over the Chi
cago Cubs, behind the expert mound
work Of Burleigh Grimes.
Grimes victory. his 18th of the sea-
son. put the Cards egiht games ahead
of the second place Cubs and nine up
ON the Giants.
Brooklyn got some great pitching
from Hollis Thurston for eight in
nings but 1t didn't last through the
ninth and they lost a 3 to 2 decision
to the Boston Braves.
PittSburgh's Pirates settled the
fourth National League clash in short
order when they fell on Red Lucas
and Owen Carroll Of Cincinnati for
seven runs In the first inning and
went on to trOunce the Reds 9 to 3.
The Chicago White Sox, with Ur-
ban Faber on the mound, chalked up
their ninth victory in IA games with
the st. Louis Browns by pulling a to
0 victory out Of tight pitching duel.
The other American League teams
had an open date.

in 104 games. with Washington second

the fascist marching song because Of
his official or his personal relationship
was not established. At any rate, Tos-
canini refused, declaring that the COM
position in question was not "gooo
music" just as Carl Muck refused to
play the American national anthem
it had not then been so declared and
established by law, as it has since been,
but it wAsJgenerally recognized as such
on the score of its musical deficiency.
Carl Muck was wrong, decidedly
wrong, in his refusal to play the selec-
ton that stood for the American ma
tional spirit, unless he felt that to do
so was a betrayal of his German
allegiance. In that case he had no
ground for complaint. He forfeited his
position for the sake of his national
spirit. Toscanini was under no obliga-
ton whatever to play the fascist
march, because requested by a group
of political partisans, or because of the
presence in the audience of Mussolini's
daughters father-in-law and enc Of his
undersecretaries. He is perhaps to be
admired for his discrimination as a
musician. He might easily have COM
promised, however, for the sake of the
higher interest of his art, even though
the music "; rubbish. The artistic
temperament would not permit such a
concession. He suffered in body and
probably will have to quit his work in
Italy, as long as fascism rules there.
Italy is really the loser from such
absurd political fanaticism.

Musical Art and Politics.

The experience Of Arturo Toscanini,
orchestra conductor, in his native Italy
at the hands Of indignant fascist is
reminiscent Of a happening in this
country during war time. The Teutonic
leader of the Boston Symphony Or
ch3stra refused u play The Star
Spangled Banner" at a concert On the
ground that it was not god music "
Public indignation was highly aroused
and shortly afterward the Teuton left
the country for a more harmonious
cline. In Toscaninis case there was
no real justification for attack, GER
tainly none for physical onslaught.
Prior to the recital at Bologna he was
met by q delegation Of fascists and
requested to play the marching song
of their political organization as pre-
Jude to the concert. This was because
a certain person was in the audience,
an undersecretary CT the ministry and

Surely he can do these things, but

American Comment United
Against War Debt Changes

Germany has to pay the allies only
about three-fifths of a billion. Even
considering the fact that the popula-
ton of Germany is only half that Of
the United States, this country has
about its neck what one European,
speaking Of Europe, describes as .
milestone"
Europeans, whether they be Ger
man, French or British, asserts the
Milwaukee Sentinel, "have learned
great facility in bringing the blame for
Europe's plight to the doorstep of the
United States. This nabit of theirs
could be tolerated good-humoredly If q
were not for the fact that an uncon-
scionable number of Americans take
the accusations for their face value and
reproach their Government with its
hard policy of collection. They tax. a
just mans patience. Less than half
Of the annual German reparations pay
mentS to her former European enemies
goes toward liquidation of war debts"
Taking more favorable attitude to
ward European proposals, the Clevelap
Plain Dealer comments on the economic
situation involved: "In the light Of tie
change which has come over world co.
nonic conditions since the fundAg
agreements were entered into, it Is
hardly logical for the administrations
washington TO Insist That the debtis-
sue is closed. Before the depression
came and prices declined so shaply
there was much sentiment favorabl to
debt revision downward in the intrest
of business stability and international
good will. AS a result of the rcent
economic changes the case for sucl re-
vision Is stronger than ever before -

Der of the funding commission, sug-
gestS, with any downward revisjn In
the debt obligations Of our formerallies
would properly go the stipulatio, that
expenditures for ornaments be rduced
at the same time. When a iormer
member of the commission join those

engraving. He died yesterday at Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, at the age of seventy
nine, after a long illness. He was
almost the last Of the gravers.
The world little recks the sacrifices
entaled in progress" Especially in
the cultural works, which offer such
slight opportunities for reward and
profit. Timothy Cole had the misfor-
tune to develop skill with the BURN
only shortly before the development Of
new methods of illustration. Just as he
attained his artistic majority the art
began to fade as a means of reproduce
ton for printing. He had the good for
tune, however, of possessing quality
Of stroke that made his work excep-
tional and that won for him continuing
patronage, even though his art had
ceased to command its former market.
Some wood engravers, when the new
methods of pictorial reproduction sup
planted the old, took to other lines of
work and learned to command other
mediums of art. Cole, however, stood
by his block and graver. His persist
ence, founded upon faith in the surviv-
ing value of engraving as an art form,
was rewarded, though there were lean
times and hardships. Luckily mar
ket for his exquisitely beautiful repro
auctions of famous works of art was
provided by a magazine, which alb
sorbed the greater part of his product
for considerable period. Eventually
the tide of taste turned back to the
almost discarded mode of block print
ing and Timothy Cole found his wood
cravings welcomed at prices which en-
abled him to maintain himself in COM
fort in his declining years.
There was one popularity about Tim
othy Cole that set him apart from most
Of his fellows of the graver tools. He
could not draw. His art lay in the pre-
cision and the delicacy and the color"
OF his line. But he was never able to
lay down his sketch upon the wood,
relying at one time upon the draughts-
manship of others to sketch upon the
wood and later upon Photographic
process to prepare the block for his
steel. He eventually used the photo
graphically prepared block for engrav-
ing from the painting itself. This limi-
tation did not in any degree lessen the
actual artistry of Coles work. His
blcclIs were full OF feeling, vibrant with
meaning, pulsing with atmosphere.
Timothy Coles little home at Pough-
keepsie, where he lived for many years,
was mecca for artists. From the
quiet little man with the twinkling eyes
that never lost their keenness from the
passing of time and the demands upon
them Of an exacting task, they gained
inspiration and helpful philosophy.
Many there were throughout this coun-
try who merely knew his name as the
creator of beauty and who knew nothing
OF his circumstances. Now he is gone, and
there are few remaining who are ca
pable Of carrying on an art which once
was highly appreciated.
