NEW YORK, June 4.-United
States amateur boxers today boosted
a decisive victory over Italy's 1928
Olympic champions. but the Anna
teur Athletic Union was undecided
regarding the value OF amateur box
ing as q developer of international
good will.
The Italian American interna-
tional series, staged at Madison
Square Garden Wednesday night,
brought Italy'S first team competi-
ton defeat in more than three years
the Americans winning by mar
gin of five matches to two-but was
marred by prolonged and as
founding display Of bad temper
which did little to cement friendly
relations between the competing
nations.
The demonstration followed a de-
cision giving Louis Salica of New
York victory over EdelweiS Rodri-
guez, 112-pound champion of Italy,
IN the opening bout. Salica had a
decided edge in the first two rounds
OF the bout and in the opinion of
r1ngside boxing experts was en-
titled to the decision, despite Rodri-
gue2S strong rally in the final
round.
When the verdict was announced
Rodriguez dropped to the canvas,
kicked his feet in the air, bit at
his glove and shouted in protest.
His seconds joined in the protest
Gallery spectators, overwhelmingly
Italian in sentiment, Joined in the
uproar, booing the officials and
Showering the ring with coins, pa
per. cigar stubs, lemons and other
debris. Spectators who believed
the decision justified, attempted to
cheer down the dissenters and the
uproar continued for more than half
an hour

BengaIS Beaten in Is Out of
II Starts; Two Star In
fieIderS Are Out With
Injuries.
BY LEO II. PETERSEN
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 4.-Handi-
capped by injuries, the Detroit
Tigers have been unable to shake
off the slump which has buried
them deep in the second division of
the American League and it ap-
peared probable today that Man
ager Bucky Harris would return to
active playing in an effort to bolster
up his team.
Harris, a great second baseman
when in his prime with the Wash
ington Senators, has been condi-
tioning himself daily and unless the
Tigers start winning, probably will
return to the lineup although he
has taken part in only few games
the last two seasons.
Injuries to Dale Alexander and
Charley Gehringer, youthful first
and second basemen, respectively,
are held accountable for Detroit's
poor showing, although the pitching
staff has been more or less cratic.
With Alexander and Gehringer, two
of the best hitters on the club out,
Harris has shifted owen, a short
stop, to first, with Koenig at second.
Drop Seventh Straight
The combination has not been
functioning any too satisfactorily,
however, and many close followers
of the Tigers believe Harris will be
playing second before the end of
the week.
Detroit dropped It's seventh con-
secutive contest Wednesday to
Washington, to /. 1t was the
Tigers fifteenth defeat in their last
seventeen games. The contest was
a hurting duel between Bobby
Burke and Vic Sorrell. Burke did
not allow the Tigers hit until the
seventh, while the Senators scored
two runs off Sorrell in the first, but
could do nothing the remainder of
the game.
Two Of Connie Mack's "big FIVE"
Lefty Grove and Jimmy Foxx,
teamed to bring Philadelphia its
second straight victory over Chi
cago, to l. Grove allowed only
six hits, while Jimmy Foxx's home
run provided the deciding margin.
1t was one of the seven hits allowed
by Ted Lyons.
VOsmik's Homer Wins
The st. Louis Browns went on a
batting rampage to defeat New York
to 6. The Browns pounded three
Yankee pitchers for sixteen hits.
four Of them going to Melillo and
four to Levey. Walter Stewart
yielded ten hits, but was effective
in the pinches, striking out eight
men.
Joe Vosmiks nome run in the
eleventh inning gave Cleveland a
to 4 victory over Boston and
stretched the Indians winning
streak to nine contests. Vosmik also
got two singles. The Indians had
things their own way until the
eighth, when the Red Sox tied the
score at four all.

BUS FIRM FAVORS
FEDERAL CONTROL
Greyhound Company Official
Believes Regulation Might
End Certain Evils.

Federal regulation of passenger bus
operations. although opposed by some
motor transport interests, has the ap-
proval of the Greyhound Corporation,
one of the largest passenger bus oper-
ators, Ralph Began informed the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr..
Began is vice president of the Grey
hound lines in the East.
Testifying before Leo j. Flynn. ex-
aminer, during a recent hearing on the
coordination of rail and motor trans
portation, Mr.. Began said Federal sg-
ulation as to Standardization of weisS'ts
and sizes and rates and schedules OF
motor buses would remedy some Of the
existing evils
Assailing what he described as wild
cat" operators of small interstate bus
companies, Mr. Began said the devel-
opment of passenger bus transportation
had been hindered by the continual
rate-cutting of such lines. He cited
one case where a small operator be-
tween New York and Boston had cut
his rates on that trip to the extent OF
charging half of the established rates
of the Greyhound Line, operating be-
tween the two cities.
Plans proposed for the coordination
of rail and motor transportation and
for the restriction of motor trucks to
terminal work had the possibility of
success, in the opinion of Mr.. Began.
He opposed the direct operation of
motor buses by railroads as undesirable,
but he said that it probably was ad-
visable that railroads operating in the
same territory with bus lines obtain an
interest in such lines
Warner Tufts of the National ASso-
citation of Motor Bus Operators denied
the contention of practically all of the
railroad spokesman that the bus and
truck lines we're not paying their share
of highway maintenance and conStruc-
ton costs. Taxes collected by the States
from truck and bus operators for Ii
censing and registration alone had in
creased 20 per cent since 1925, he said
Contending that taxes paid by these
operators for road construction and re-
pair were already too high, he asserted
