Wilmington boxing fans will
be offered something new in
thrills tomorrow night when
Billy johnson, local colored boy
and claimant to the states
middleweight title, will meet
Neal Stokes of New York, lead
ing contender for the crown in
ITALIAN Hall tomorrow night.
The fights were originally
scheduled for last Thursday,
but had to be postponed to al
low time for the boxing COM
mission to investigate the pro-
posed card. The commission
found everything on the level
and gave the nod to go on with
the show.
Stokes, who has a good repu-
tation in New York as a fast
and capable fighter, has won ~
of his last 30 fights, FL of them
by knOckouts. Johnson, who's
been training diligently for the
fight, has lost only three OF
his last rs bouts. Most of them
he won via the kayo route. With
almost identical records against
the same kind of competition,
it would be difficult to pick a
winner. Which all goes to show
that THE fight will be a close
one.
Johnson has been training
under the watchful and capable
eye of his brother, James j.,

Connie Mack Sees Bette Baseball;
Greater Following In Postwar DAYS

PHILADELPHIA, July 81 Up
And when the war is over" Con-
Lille Mack penned, 'I look for bet
ter, more exciting baseball played
by more skillful men before great
er crowds than we ever have
known
1t was part of Comics own story
CT his so years as a baseball
manager. The games great will
help him celebrate at New York
Yankees-Athletics game here Fri
cay night.
Connie, writing for the Phila-
Gelphia Inquirer, recalled that
when I first took hold of the
Pittsburgh Clup'' in 1894 ball
players were rough, tough and
uncouth' and I'VE were not well
come in first-or second-class hotels.
'Third-class hostelries," he add
co, received us only when we
Iromised not to eat with other
guests"
AS players have progressed in
sociability, he said, "Just so has
baseball advanced in speed, clever
ress and appeal" until now "as a
group, today's players are faster,
smarter nd more skillful." IT am
speaking of baseball before the
war;" he explained.
Connie called the Jimmy Collins
es and iris Speakers THE Orville
Wrights and Robert Louis Steven
sens of the diamond and of a diff
ferent age" and said 1.-The Di Mag.
gios and the Ted Williamses are
the superbombers of a faster, more
mechanical age'
Attendance should soar' after
tie war, he wrote. even now
Baseball is making millions of new
friends, young friends and women
friends. Night games have done
much to popularize baseball.
Whether night games will be in
creased after the war, I don't
know. I feel that any team should
not play more than IA home night
games under the lights. Neverthe-
less I believe baseball will give
the fans what they want"
Connie recalled that he broke
Up my first great Athletics team
in 1914 because of high salaries
offered my players by the outlaw
Federal League and that he
broke up my second great team,
champions of 1929, 1890 and 1881,
because the overhead was so
great"
Many persons think I am rich,''
ne said. II am not. I have to make
baseball pay the same as any other
business man. l wish I even could
say that I am out of debt"

YARD
CLASH TONIGHT

There was blood in the collec-
tive eye of the Shipyard nine last
night as it announced it was rar-
ing to 90 against the Plumbers
in the setto at $3.50 o'clock at
Legion Field tonight which Will
mark the third meeting OF the two
teams in the current series.
Definitely, the Shipyarders were
promising a surprise for the fans
and seemed confident they will be
able to take the measure of the
team which has handed them two
close defeats in row.
Questioned as to who will pitch
for them tonight, the Yarders
were indefinite but indicated it
might be Averitte, their strong
man. Averitte, it is understood,
has suffered a minor hand injury
but there is a possibility he might
hurl tonight. If not, it is believed
Fish will be on the mound but
there was nothing definite on the
matter last night.
Equally indefinite were the
Plumbers who indicated Amman,
who Sunday defeated the Camp
Davis nine, might be on the
mound again. For man who
loves pitching as he does, the
Plumbers pointed out, pitching
two games that close together is
nothing at all. However, if he is
not on the mound it is believed
that either Moon or Lambert will
do the chores.

athletes as Ed Redunich, star
pitcher with Seattle about four
years ago; Charley Dykes, son of
the rollicking Jimmy Dykes, White

Messing who played second base
for Beaumont whom Detroit paid

ENKA employees
DENIED RAISE

ATLANTA, July 31-(REA trl-
partite panel of the 4th Regional
War Labor board recommended
today that general wage in
crease asked for employees of the
American Enka corporation at
Asheville, N. c., be denied, pend
ing review by the National War
Labor board.
Hearing on the case, involving
the corporation and the United
Textile Workers of America (AFL)
was held in Asheville June 9.
One of the questions involved
whether contract signed June 5,
1913, for duration of the war or
for period of two years, acts as
wage freeze for the duration.
The majority report of the pan
ell recommended that if the labor
board holds that the contract does
apply for the duration, that the
request for a general wage in
crease, for premium shift pay, and
for a paid lunch period for all
employees be denied, on grounds
that these issues are closed by
the contract.
