BLACK YANKEES 1. BLANK HEARTS IN
 EXHIBITION
McHenry, Spearman, and Thomas Stand Out in
 go Result

Two hits, a double and single, was the long and short of the Sacred Hearts contention for base- ball supremacy against the Black Yankees, one of the outstanding colored teams of the country which wound up so in favor of the well- trained visitors last night at Ham, ilton park. An aggregate crowd of 7,500 to 5000 people in and out of the field saw the game, which was preceded by an exhi- bition of trick baseball stunts led by Circus Country" Brown in which the fans were amazed as what can be done with Q base- ball handled by players unafflict- ed with butter" fingers.
 Early Start
 As expected, the Blackies went to work early and often, once the game got under way, with Me- Henry holding the Hearts hitless until the sixth inning Greatorex and Nebby Balinsky being the only boys to touch his delivery through out the game, and then for just one hit apiece, Greatorex double in the sixth being the first hit of the game insofar as the Hearts were concerned. Spearman, for the Yan- kees hit three triples and 8 single off Edmonds, Mulesky, and Hem nessey in that order while Jack Thomas at first base turned in a great fielding exhibition. Sonny" Pronovost registered the best catch of the game, one-hand grab of Thomas hit to deep center field.
 Report Later
 A financial report of the game was unavailable this morning and will be announced later by Presi- dent George Casey. Part of the proceeds from the game went to the Cleveland fund, which will send the Waterbury champions to the national amateur baseball championship tournament in Sep- tember. Another first class profess sional baseball club will play at Hamilton park in two weeks. Sum- mary:

New York, July 12-(UP)-Un- less one of its moon-struck mem bers manages to concoct a daffier idea in the next few days, the In- ternational Boxing Union of Paris. with headquarters in an anteroom of the Opera Comtque, will an- nounce a worlds heavyweight championship fight between Pierre Charles of Belgium and George Godfrey.

 According to the cable, it hap pened this way:
 Several months ago Charles, pro- tected by the breadth (3240 miles) and depth Give miles at some points) of the Atlantic ocean, is- sued, through the International Boxing Union, challenge to Max aBer, then champion of the world.
 The I. B. U. boys, full of Penrod and the rights of man, forwarded it on to Baer with the warning that unless he came over and fought Charles within 90 days, his throne would be vacated. Baer didn't make the trip so the I. B. U. wrote him 8 polite note, telling him that it regretted to announce he was no longer champion, and that it would hold a tournament to determine his successor.
 When the union closed it's books to prospective contenders yesterday only Charles was on the rolls. All the other contenders had neglect ed to enter.
 So there the union was with one fighter in its tournament, and when I call Charles a fighter, I'm giving him all the best of it. Sev- eral of the union members, after thorough combing of their spade boards and a few extra shorts of Penrod, were all for having SI1dIlC5 COuouCI O OAO~AAdh IO4A nament. But after heated argu- ment, which carried to the side- walk tables of the Cafe De La Paix cooler heads prevailed and it was decided that one-man tournament would be a bit too bizarre even for the union, and that the only thing to do was to secure worthy con- tender for the Belgian accordion.
 A scout was dispatched with the warning not to return without a challenger. He came back with or George, who since pork chop money got scarce in America, has been fighting. and wrestling all over Europe for the price of a square meal. Georges position as challenuger was strengthened when it was learned that he really had entered the tournament, but that mails between Bucharest and Paris. his entry had been lost in the Seems he had forgotten to address and stamp it.
 "It's too good to be true, by golly," George is quoted as say- ing when told he had been chosen to fight for the chamionship of the world. "Hot dawn, I'm gonna get my chance after 13 years of knock ing round. Wait'll dust off these spareribs and I'll be right with you"
 So George, op black George. who was clark menace" back in the early twenties, is going to get a crack at the championship. He's
