REPUBLICAN CLUB

Lincoln Day Dinner Planned
to Combat Gains by

Determined to combat the "headway
made by the Democratic campaign TO
discredit the President ana the Repub-
lican party" the National Capital Re-
publican Club, sponsored by the Repub-
lean National Committee, will hold It's
first Lincoln day dinner at the Willard
Hotel on February II.
This is designed as an answer to
number of Jackson day banquetS re-
Gently held by Democrats.
Robert H Lucas. executive director
of the Republican National Committee,
In an open letter to Republican leaders
throughout the country urging them to
hold Lincoln day dinners, said:
The time has come for party leaders
to make a concerted drive to revive the
interest and enthusiasm OF the Repub-
licanS of this country in the welfare OF
their party and of the Nation. The
vicious and SlanderOuS mllllon-dollar
campaign of the Democrats to diScredlt
the President of the United States and
to destroy the usefulness of the Repub-
lican party has had its effect. Their
propaganda to lay the troubles of the
world in the lap of the Republican party
has made some headWay. But the tide
has turned The people are beginning
to understand Republican leaders are
beginning to fight. We are not going
to take this Democratic assault lying
down We are not going to let them
trample us underfoot We never have
and we never will"
Senator Hatfield of West Virginia will
act as POSTMASTER of the dinner here
and addresses will be made by Secretary
of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur and
Senator James E. Watson. Efforts also
are being made to arrange an address
by Mrs. Edward E Gam, sister of the
Vice President.
Tickets may be secured at Room al

N YEW YORK, August 3.-One

human endeavor What brings you
Joy brings me PAIN in the words of
that old refrain. For example, the in
jury to his left elbow, which has forced
Billy Petrolle to postpone his bout with
Tony Canzoneri for at least six weeks,
is a smashing blow to himself, to Can

On the other hand, Petrolle's mishap
Is blessing to the Arena A. c., which
Is promoting the Jimmy McLarnin- Lou
Brouillard bout for the Actors Fund of
America, at the Yankee Stadium tomor-
row night. With no show in the
Garden bowl on Monday the Ebbets
Field organization, which has Benny
Leonard paired with Paulie Walker. and
Billy Townsend matched with Bat Bat
talino week from tonight, also will
benefit to a great extent. Fate stepped
in to relieve a congestion of entertain
ment brought about by the refusal of
the promoters to exercise harmony and
Judgment.
Even in the million-dollar days of
the sock market it was ruinous to run
off two such projects as the McLarnin-
Brouillard and Canzoneri Petrolle
brawls within space Of five days. In
these times, with the dollars no longer
jingling so merrily in the fans pockets,
thousands of customers who would have
liked to see both shows would have had
to pass up one in the interest Of eS-
sential economy.

SHIRES' FATE UNCERTAIN
Fired by Manager McKechnie, but
Fuchs Delays Final Action.

BOSTON, August R.-Arthur
(the great Shires appeared to be rid
ing the sluiceway of base ball today,
but whether the belligerent bad boy"
Of the majors would flop into the minors
or into the prize ring was a matter
for conjecture.
The first sacker, whose colorful pen
chant for self-praise earned him the
sobriquets What A Man" and I'm
Great" was fired by Manager Bill Nc
Kechnie Of the Boston Braves yester-
day, but final decision on his imme-
date future was delayed.
Shires got fred when he wrathfully
objected to the managers plan to trade
him into the minors whence he came.
President Emil Fuchs, on the road
seeking another to cover the initial
sack, sent word to hold of Anal &C
ton.
Shires has been of his game of late.
and there has been talk of friction be-
tween him and the management.
There was a lot of guessing as to
whether Shires, If given an uncondi-
tional release, would return to the
minors or again essay conquest in the
prize ring, where some time back he
attempted to cash in on his famed
pugnacity.

In fair physical condition, although

against picked crew from Newberry.

give him the payof and he's still a
drawing card.
1t was during his playing days in
the Carolinas that he gained the name
"Shoeless." Joe claimed the spiked
shoes hurt his feet and he couldn't
run in them. He played in his bare
feet and burned up the path around
the bases

that Reynolds intended to enter suit
for damages as a result of the blow
struck during the first game of the
July 4 double-header in Washington
and that a warrant charging him
with assault and battery also might
be sworn out against him.
These possibilities, 1t was said, prob
ably would lead the New York club to
protect Dickey to the extent of keep
ing him away from Washington while
the Yankees were there for their last
visit of the year.
Dickey was not with the Yankees
as they reached Chicago last night,
having left his club in~Cleveland only
four days before. Up to that time he
