Knockout Blow

P1TTsB URGH, Aug. 3.
Knocked out last night in the
ninth round after absorbing a
terrific beating from Eddie
Zivic, Pittsburgh lightweight,
Johnny Page, Of Chicago, was
still unconscious in the st.
Francis Hospital here today.
Page suffered a brain con-
cussion and was in a serious
condition, according to DR.. j. L.
Yon. Referee Fred MaStriat1 had
stopped the bout with a second
remaining in the ninth round
and as he did, Page slipped off
the ropes on which he had been
dangling helplessly, to the floor.
He lay stretched out on the
canvas for 10 minutes while a
physician worked over him and
then ordered him removed to
the hospital.

Pipp back there a dozen years ago.
It will be No. 1900 for the Titanic
Teuton this afternoon at Yankee
Stadium.
Probably the most surprised
man in the world was Jim Bottom
ley when he was informed that he
had been made manager Of the
Browns. If HornSby had to go
the baseball realm can welcome
Bottomley with open arms.
Charley Rulings face must
turn crimson when he thinks OF
the 1000 he demanded for pinch
hitting this year. His average Is
.194, and If it were not for De
Shong, Cohen and Appleton, he
would Just about fall out Of the
league.
Babe Dahlgren was turned loose
by the Boston Red Sox because
he was a first baSeman who
couldn't hit. But he is playing
third base for the Newark Bears
and hitting 1855.
Joe Mccarthy is wondering
whether or not the Babe can play
second base better than Don
Heffner, who looms now as success
sor to Tony LazZerl.
Tony is about to be placed as
manager Of one or the Yankee
minor league farms, maybe in
Oakland If the Rupert money is
not withdrawn from the Coast
League city.
Al Simmons is not hitting up to
his usual stride, but the Polish
warrior is playing q whale Of q
game defensively, and is driving
in his quota Of runs.
There is a real scramble among
major league clubs for Basin, the
Georgetown baseball ace, but Joe
Judge. coach of the Hoyas, insists
that the boy get his diploma be
fore going into the big leagues.

MOVE TO SLATE
CIV. HIGH GAMES
FOR NIGHT PLAY

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Aug. 8.
With q contract having already
been signed for the erection Of
noodlightS at the new George
Washington High School stadium,
athletic officials of the school are
making efforts to have six Of their
seven 1887 home grid games
played at night, it was learned
today. In the event their plans
work out, the annual clash with
Washington and Lee High, Of
Ballston, will be the only home en-
counter to be played in the day
time. This tilt, as is the custom,
will be played Thanksgiving morn
ing.
An elaborate dedication program
is being arranged for the first grid
game to be played on the new
field-that with Lane Ugh School
Of Charlottesville. The two teams
have been bitter rivals for a num-
Der Of years. Their meeting nor
mally would attract a banner
crowd, but with the new field
being dedicated, and the flood
lights in use for the first time.
their 1887 meeting promises to set
an all-time record for attendance
at a scholastic contest here.
The erection of lights was made
possible through q public drive,
during which 800 athletic tickets,
good for all home contests during
the next five years, were sold at
$40 each.
The st. Mary's Celtics, Northern
Virginia Semipro champions, are
booking games for the month of
August with strong teams in
nearby Virginia, Maryland and the
District Of Columbia having dia-
monds available. Interested man.
ayers are requested to call Theo-

Anderton Burke, young upset
artist, and j. B. Murphy, veteran
team member, will meet in the
final match for the Gazette Tro-
ply over the Belle Haven Country
Club course next Sunday, it was
announced by club officials today.
A 36-hole match has been Sched-
uled.
Young Burke advanced to the
finals by virtue Of series OF sur
prise wins over several Of the
clubs best golfers, while Murphy
was among the early favorites'
Despite Burke's brilliant play in
the tourney to date, Murphy's far
wider experience has established
him a pronounced favorite. and
he will be on the long end OF

JOHNSTON TO AIR
RING CAMP A|GN'
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The
WHISTLE" placed resolutely
against the pursed lip and emit
ting shrill, piercing blast, is
about to resound throughout New
York boxing, it was stated today
on what seems to be the very best
authority, this being said because
Promoter James j. Johnston, Of
the Garden, not only vouchsafed
the information but proposed to
do the blowing. He didn't say
Just when or where or in what
direction; only how.
1t will be plaintive, prolonged,
poignant. piteous-and very loud.
That's Mr.. Johnston. by the way.
Not always good, but loud.
Hitherto, he has been an extreme
ly articulate man, especially when
speaking in his native tongue, and
I must say that now that he's
decided to go in for music, it's
very late in life. However, the
whistle" particularly in the lofty,
idealistic endeavor known as the
boxing business, isn't difficult to
master.
All you need is the right kind
Of musical education - and the
wrong impulse. Even Mr.. John
ston, the proposed soloiSt, admits
that.
TARGET PRACTICE
ct know what they say about
whistle blowers" said he today.
But 1 know something worse.
That's the pOt-shOt expert.
Everybody's taking target prac-
tice around here nowadays and
/ seem to be the bulls-eye. It's
got to stop. I'll stop it."
Asked just what arias he plan.
ned upon his improvised piccolo,
he spoke airily of a campaign"
through several local newspapers,
failing to state which. AS mat
ter of fact, he didn't have to.
He didn't have to mention other
newspapers, either. For one thing,
it is not their custom to mention
him. It was equally unnecessary
for him to speak OF the boxing
commission, for it is clear as to
where he stands there.
Very Wrong
Rightly or wrongly, he stands
mostly on top Of his haircut, out
on the sidewalk. This may be very
wrong. In fact, it doesn't seem to
make much English, with John
ston representing the biggest in
door boxing arena in the country
and perhaps the world, but then
if really understood the prize
fight dodge, I'd be so good I'd
probably spoil.
More to the point, I might even
understand why Johnston has
waited 60 years before getting the
tin oboe all mixed up with the
melodeon.

definite proposal received serious consideration for long time last night and early today.
 c. E. Wilson, a General Motors vice president who usually handles labor rela tions, was summoned hast fly to the council chamber. He left after short time, apparently for needed data, and returned just be- fore the recess was taken until 10 a. m. today.
 A neutral party to the conferences described the procedure as follows
 To begin with, the three repre- sentatives of each side and the two mediators meet together. For Gen. eral Motors there is Knudsen, Finance Chairman Donaldson Brown, and General Counsel John Thomas Smith; for the United Automobile Workers, Lewis, Union President Homer Martin, and c. I. O. Attor- ney Lee Pressman.
 Murphy as Mediator
 Murphy is there as mediator and special representative of President Roosevelt, and Federal Conciliator James F. Dewey represents Secre- tary of Labor Frances Perkins.
 One side or the other puts for ward a feeler. This is taken up by all conferees. and all its possibil- ities are explored. Sonetimes it is diiscarded quickly and sometimes 1t develops angles which require the sides to separate. Murphy and Dewey then travel from one to the other.
 Thrice yesterday the conferees divided in this way.
 The confereeS seek basis for later discussions on wages, hours and working conditions. High union sources said serious consideration was given to one plan that pro- vided for resumption of production in all G. M. c. plants during col lective bargaining.
 General Motors spokesmen re- trained from any comment whatso- ever.

for industrial organization, and Will liam Knudsen, executive vice presi- dent of General Motors, fence fruitlessly over the issue of union recognition.
 Lewis insisted that the company recognize his automobile union as exclusive voice of its employees in collective bargaining. Knudsen re- iterated that the company could not do so in good faith to its non-union workers. It was the crucial point; if it could be settled or comprom- ised, the other points, including the evacuation of sit-down strikers from the companys plants at Flint, were expected to be relatively easy.
 Gov. Murphy Agreeable
 Murphy made a brief statement that everything was very agree able" and hurried to telephone the White House.
 He talked at length with MT. Roosevelt and rejoined the con- ferees at 1925 p. m., with the pres lQentS message.
 Two hours and 29 minutes later at 12:54 a. m., he emerged from the conference chamber and with buoyant optimism exclaimed:
 Under very difficult circum- stances the conferees achieved ex- cellent results tonight. We want that situation continued"
 He announced the conference would be resumed at 10 a. m., but General Motors sent word they would be late in arriving.
 Then you have made progress?'
 "Yes," Murphy replied, beaming.
 The peaceful way is the right way to solve the problem" he con- tinued. "The public will find out that this is the way to do it.
 Both sides are in earnest about doing the best thing"
 Hourly Contact
 Murphy said he was maintaining hourly contact with the situation at Flint" where 2,000 sit-down strik- CTS still hold three General Motors | plants.
 Twenty hundred occupants of Fisher Body plants Nos. l and 2 have defied two injunctions ordering them to evacuate. Eight hundred sit-downers in Chevrolet plant No are not involved in the injunction
 "The military and my other rep- resentatives there are acting as peacemakers," Murphy said.
 A crisis was avoided few hours at Flint yesterday after General Motors attorneys had announced in the morning they would ask Judge Paul V. Gadola for a writ to evict the sit-downers. But said later in the day that the move would be de- ferred until it was evident that the peaceful efforts in Detroit directed at clearing the plants would fail.
 The union had halted mass dem- onstrations at Flint and occupied plants were quiet. Flint officials held $500 doctors, lawyers, trades men and non-union workers in re- serve for emergency service as spe- cial policemen.
 Refused to Elaborate
 Murphy refused to elaborate on his statement that excellent re- suits" were achieved. The United Press was informed by high union official that the deadlock on Lewis demand for exclusive bargaining rights persisted and that there was no concrete progress on other points.
