IhomaS A. Yawkey, president
OF the Boston Red Sox, who per.
Sonally refuses to consider the
game as anything but a whoop
de doc, is inclined to let those
who want to do so, play at
night. So far as he is concerned,
he will stick to baseball in the
sunshine, where he insists it
was intended to remain forever.
The Chicago White Sox are
also inclined to view the matter
with tolerance. Louis j. Comiskey,
president of the pallid hose and
his business manager, Harry
Grabiner, refuse to place them.

to other owners how to conduct

placed on a plane Of absolute
equality with the Three Eye, the

No change in front is seen
among those already in favor of
the night game, and the fight in
its behalf will be waged, probably,
by St. Louis, the Athletics and
Washington.

told this writer. "I've never seen

of the owners think that night
baseball is essential to their

down on them and say that they

ball in Boston," Yawkey con-
tinued. 1--WE have filled Fenway
Park, and we will continue to
fill it by playing interesting

Doyle No Match
For Buddy Bder
BY BILL FARNsWORTH, JR.

Dy D4AAA - EAASANO w ~AS = 1AS SASs
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Hand-
some Jack Doyle, who arrived in
America with a reputation for
fighting and singing, can return
to his beloved Ireland today with
his vocal chords unscatched, at
least.
Personal appearances an d
cinema shorts vouch for Jacks
tenor voice-but that's all. Buddy
Baer, Max's big brother, shat
tered handsome Jacks boxing
ability last night at the Garden
by scoring a knockout after 2:38
Of battling in the first round.
1t was another case of a baritone
trimming a tenor.
It was apparent at the outset
Doyle wouldn't survive the open
ing round. Buddy's booming
right thudded against Doyle's
thigh. Jack did a "Phil Scott"
in his own corner. But he got
up quickly when he discovered
Referee Billy Cavanaugh picking
up the timekeeper's count.
After few exchanges, Baer
drove Jack to the ropes with a
furry of punches and flattened
him with a long right to the jaw.
Doyle bounded to his feet but
Buddy cornered him again. A
right and a left floored Doyle for
five. 1t didn't seem possible
that he'd arise, but he did.
Hardly able to raise his hands,
Jack walked toward Buddy who
nailed him with a left and was
prepared to finish him with q
right when Referee Cavanaugh
intervened.

 After three weeks of instruction, Orr left the paper for greener pas lures, and Fred was told by the managing editor to "get out and get pictures" He did and he's been doing so ever since, subsequently with the Toronto Mail and Empire, and then with the Toronto Star.
 Davis accompanied the Prince of Wales on his tour of Canada in 1923, and was one of the few pho- tographers to get any shots what soever of the prince, who was travelling incognito as Baron Ren- frew. For 15 years, wherever big news has broken in Canada, Fred Davis has always been found with his ubiquitous camera, pulling off scoop after scoop.
