Brown was unable to make himself feel at home In the flret half, but after devotlnytlio twenty minutes Intermis sion to getting acquainted with the hall he cut loose on the tap-off for the second stanza and scored his second field goal two seconds after the half started. The Beth Israel nulntet, through the heroic work oLDoo Newman and Dessen. had managed to keep right on the heels of the Saints up to this time, but the re mainder of the contest was a runaway for the league leadens. The tlnal score was 36 to 13, That "jou can't keen a good team down" was further demonstrated last night, when the Glrard Alumni, 'after plajlng Indifferent ball for two weeks, struck Its proper stride a few minutes after the second half started and de feated the Y.

Harrv Kiaee, president of the Ited Sox, iatrt jesterdav before leaving for New' York that Connie Mack It ery much mistaken In his statement that he gave Stuffy Mclnnls to the Boston team He remarked that Connie Is not In the gamo for the love of It and that Mack li not getting the worst of It. When queried regarding stories from Philadelphia In which Mack was quoted as sajing that he virtually had pre sented Mclnnj to the Ited Pox; Krazee said, '.stuff and nonsense; ridiculous." Then. Just as he was boarding a train to i etui n to New Yolk for several dajs, I'ra7ee added: I hope It's true. If Connie sajs so there must be something to It, but I will havn to be shown. I will sav the same as he did when he denied that I paid fGO.OOO to him for Bush, Sthang and Stiunk. No one will believe any such arn as Mack Is tiylng to put over. Mclnnls Is the property of the Boston club now. Theie are only a few things to complete the deal, such as delivering certain plajers to the Philadelphia club. As jet I don't know what plajers will be turned over, but I have a good Idea. Hon ever. It Is something for me to de cide, and cannot be done right away. "But to get back to Mack presenting .Stuff j' to me, jou can pay that the Ited So are out to give Boston a winning club, and thatls the reason I obtained Mclnnis You can bet Mack will get what he Is after. He Is not In baseball for love. You can say that for me," concluded the Bed Sox magnate I'razee has another project In view which will bring a star Infielder to his club. He would not Intimate the plajer In a lew, but ntnnd ready to give up plajers and (ash to bring him to the fold The plajer In question Is thought to be Uevrlll Pratt, of the Browns. NATIONAL COMMISSION PERMITS BARNSTORMING Reverses Previous Attitude at Urgent Solicitation of Club Own er?, Official Report States The National Commission has re vered itself on the question of barn storming plajers. The commission has decided that hall plajers may take barn stouulng trips at the end of the season If they have the permission of their club owners. The commission Investigated a game plajed In Kansas City last fall where Alexander and Johnson met In an exhibition contest, backed by two teams calling themselves the All Nationals and All Americans. The commission Investi gation revealed the fact that several club-owners had given their players per mission to play in this game. The commission In Its report says: "This change In the system waa made at the urgent solicitation of the club ow ners." Whether this also changes the poltoy of the commission in regard to world's series plajers participating in exhibition games the commission bulletin does not saj.

But despite all of this he had a defense which It was -virtually Im possible to penetrate. Patsy hit straight from the shoulder and made the better showing. No mat ter where his blows landed thev Im pressed the spectators. He landed many wallops on Johnny's anatomy, but the majority of them hit Tillman's arms and shoulders, with an occasional) Lilt on the chest. He seldom missed.

But he landed as many blows as Cllne and put more behind them. Tillman Goes to Mat Johnny got off to a had stait and was trailing at the end of the third stanza. He was swept off his feet by the rushing New Yorker, and before he knew It was running a bad second.

Cllne slowly but surely lost his lead, and at the end was a -very fired person. He stopped many wild wallops with his chin and twice was shaken considerably bj hard lefts to head. It was a good, scrap and the clubmen agreed that a pleasant time was had. Cllne weighed 137 pounds, while Tillman scaled In at 159'i.
