NEW YORK, Aug 19 G.N.S).
Col. John S. Hammond, chairman
of the board of Madison Square
Garden Corporation, today issued
a blaring statement charging
wasteful management and extrav'
agance, and asking for the custer
of Col. John R. Fitzpatrick, presl'
dent, on September "a, when the
stockholders will have a chance
for the first time to vote on owner
ship of the corporation.
With the most expensive man
agement of any sport conducted
in the arena, boxing showed a
100000 loss in 1884, Hammond'S
statement pointed out. For the
past two years the profit was
$4,000, but that was due to Tex
Richards clause calling for the
winner of a championship to de-
fend his title for the Garden.
Only Money Bout
The Baer-Carnera match, fought
under this agreement was the
only item which pulled the Garden
boxing profits out of the hole.
Without the Baer-Carnera match
the loss for the period would have
been $4,000.
Profits from other sports out
side of boxing showed an increase
of 100000 in 1884, the statement
showed.
Drew 175,OOO Fans
Boxing, under Colonel Kilpat'
rick, drew only 175,000 spectators,
as against $4,000 in 1928, and an
average of $4,000.
1t was generally understood that
a complete reorganization would
be asked, and the custer, if Sue
cessful, would include Jimmy John.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-Who got

But Myer and Harris understand
each other. Myer is innocent OF
this rumor. He deprecates 1t sore

age any team it will be at fig
ure to my satisfaction. I'm not
going around looking for head
aches, especially Bucky Harris
headaches"
And that's the 1ow-down and
straight-acroSs on the situation
Harris has nothing but the strong
est admiration for Buddy. He is
not bothered by the reports, but
in all fairness to a manager who,
in my judgment, ranks with the
best in the game, Griffith should
call him into his office when we
get home and sign him for next
year, or maybe for three years at
q major league managers salary.
Evans May Go
The situation in Washington,
however, is not nearly as involved
in Cleveland. Lightning plays
around the head Of Billy Evans,
who for the last seven or eight
years has been general manager
of the Indians.
President Alva Bradley refuses
to clear the situation by a strong
stand or positive statement. BY
inference he places Evans on the
spot. When asked by this writer
if he would renew Evans contract
which expires late in November,
he said:
1--WE will cross the Evans
bridge when We come down to
it."
Hand In glove denials have
been issued by Alva Bradley and
Walter johnson on the subject OF
the latter returning here in the
capacity of vice president of the
club and general manager.
But with Evans apparently on
the way out, with Johnson as
popular as he is with Alva Brad
ley and his brother, with the
other stockholders and the united
directorate, the denialS may be
categorical, with the true inten
tions of the club owners masked

is an American Union club.
The need of another club was
made apparent in late 1888, as
pigeon racing organizations like
to keep their numbers down be-
tween Is and so for greater con-
venience. and to facilitate racing,
so the Greater Washington Rae
ing Pigeon Club was formed in
January, 1884. 1t soon attracted
some 30 lofts. 1t is member

The organizing fever struck
some is independent fanciers not
long after the Greater Washington
came into being, and so they
formed a fifth local association,
the East Potomac Club. So far 1t
has not cast its lot with any OF the
national organizations.
In the northeast section a group
of youngsters took an interest in
pigeon racing and decided to
band themselves together as the
Northeast Junior Racing Pigeon
Club back in 1882. A score of
boys are affiliated with it, but it
has not been very active this
year.

The local club has played
major role in shaping national
pigeon racing affairs.
One of the first to enter the In
ternational Federation of Ameri-
can Pigeon Fanciers, it was first
to break away from that organiza-
ton when it found itself at odds
with its policies, and it was the
club around which the American
Racing Pigeon Union was formed

of my ball club during the
season. Any statement 1
make regarding whether
Bucky Harris is to be re-
tanned as the 1886 pilot of my
club, will come after the sea-
son is over, not before"
Asked if he didn't think
the immediate signing OF
Harris for 1885 would stem
gossip and rumors to the ef-
feet that a manager of a
Seventh-place club wouldn't
be reengaged, Griff said:
"That is the worst practice
in baseball from the pennant

Bradleys, Of Cleveland, signed
Walter johnson for another
season, in the face of ru-
mors, and Immediately Cleve'

other year, couldn't possibly

Myer is going to succeed Bucky Harris as

Without the slightest foundation in fact, as
this writer sees the situation, the reports are
embarrassing to both Harris and Myer.
President Clark G. Griffith is the man who
can stop the rumors, and who should stop
them short, if they are false. He can emulate
the commendable example of COL Jacob Rup-
pert and sign Harris to contract as soon as
the team returns home. That contract should

by the same physician who
examined Max Baer's hands
recently, and the fact was
developed that a shoulder
had disappeared and a Sec
tion of it is dead.
The examining physician has
told Tow and his handlers, the
Messrs. Bob and Beverly May
wealthy Alexandria sportsmen,
who maintain fight stable as
a hobby, that 80 per cent Of the
operations, these are successful.
Knows His Stuff
The doctor who gave Tow
such assurance was a former
amateur boxer and has a pecul-
lar knowledge of stretched llga'
ments as they affect boxing.
Those Of you who saw Tow
at the ball park two weeks ago
tonight turning back Terry
Mitchell, may have noticed that
from the second round on
Bobby put up a one-handed
fight, using his left exclusively,
with his right cooked, but locked.
Tow threw his right upper
arm out of position in the Sec
ond round, the only round, Incl"
dentally, he lost, according to
popular opinion.
It was one of the finest dis
plays of unadulterated courage
that has been seen in a Wash
ington ring.
Tow WAS the underdog in
that fight. Few gave him
chance against the Terrible
Terry Mitchell before the bell
sounded.
Mitchell Sure Thing
Mitchell was brought to
Washington as a sure thing
to eliminate Tow from the
local heavyweight picture. He
may have accomplished this
purpose in case this mornings
operation is a failure and Tow
has to abandon the ring.
Matchmaker Jimmy John
ston, of Madison Square Gar
den, was so impressed with
Tow's defeat of Mitchell.
who is in high standing
around New York. that he
was negotiating with Tow to
appear on this weeks card,
which is to feature Jackie
Doyle and Buddy Baer in
New York.
Tow was in training for this
occasion against a sparring
partner in an Alexandria gym
nasium, when the arm locked
again on him, giving him the
same excruciating pain that he
encountered at Griffith Sta
dium two weeks ago tonight
in his splendid stand against
Mitchell, and which he first
suffered early last December
in a return engagement against
Tony Galento in Nework.
Youth In His Favor
At 81 years of age, Tow
should survive this ligament
operation which involves the
Sitting of his upper right arm
for about six inches and the

Of the ligament to the bone
