PtrRFECTiorJ ' rIS believed around the Polo Grounds that the reason why Dick Ru dolph Is holding out Is that he wants to go to the New York Yankees. tfo majority of New York writers are sure that if the Braves' holdout can gat, his release he will Immediately appear before the metropolitan public la Yankee disguise. Rudolph recently offered to give Percy Haughton ,W0 for his unconditional release. Certainly a releabe In baseball Is not ginS for much unless It Is to give the plajer a chance to move on to wine ottmr ball club. Boston refuses to sell Rudolph's release because t lie club is badly In Mad of good pitching talent. However, the hurler has remained out this loo .and It Is likely he will continue to unless he gets u larger contract tNttn W000, the figure offered him. The Braves' management saj s It cannot py as high salaries as last year and that It will not give Dick what ho -Musts. In that event it looks as though Boston Is about to losu $10,000 and baseball a regular pitcher. V Last season Rudolph received $7200 for his services on the slub, and btvAgures that he would be even more valuable to the club this jcar than M was last. Tho consequence Is that he cannot see n chop in salary of $2200. t Another factor which enters into the matter Is that Rudolph lives in JjtW Tfork and he would like to be there half the playing teason. The Vutkes would probably give him about $6000, which he unquestionably Ufauld accept to be able to become a member of the home-lot club.

The regulations which have been promulgated by the commission wero formed to put boxing on tho highest level possible without working any hardships on boxers, managers or promoters. The rules ara easily lived up ,to, and even If they were not they "would bo enforced anyway, for Smith Is Mown who Is going to get exactly what he wants and when he wants it. jfc i'qt& la and will continue to be law among the boxing fraternity of Jry. o ' One of the main things which Smith is going to do is to eliminate ticket- sesJping. Tho commission will decide on the prices of all tickets and these figures will be printed on the pasteboards In large type. This will vir- Madly preclude the possibility of scalping. Every one connected with boxing, from the rubbers to the patrons, will W under the regulations of the commission. The patrons must observe att tho rules of decorum at the shows and those staging the fights will he laretd to make matches which will be .Interesting and without any trace flfjataiting on the part of the contestants. H Ok the whole, the boxing game and the fight fans of New Jersey are -jriJNmsly lucky to have a man of Smith's caliber at the head of the sport. ,tv ' Women Tennis Players Will Help in War W&MEN tennis players have taken It upon themselves to help win the war.
