HR.&MJ POINT BREEZE GETS BIG RACES World's Motor-Paced Titles at 50 and 100 Kilometers to Be Decided Here FIRST ONE IN AUGUST Through the untiring efforts of Tim Buckley and Jack Uoden, of tho Point Breeze Motordrome. Philadelphia has been awarded the honor of staging two of the greatest motorpaced races of the year. At n recent meeting the National Cycle Racing" Association, the control ling body of the sport In this country, acted favorably upon the request of the Point Breeze management to hold two world's ehamplonthlp events, the sixty five kilometers and 100 kilometers motor. pacea Dine races. These two eventp, which arc equivalent In the Hngllsh rule to fifty and sixty two nnd one-half miles, respectively, hitherto have been held on the I'arc Des Princes track In Paris. France. Due o the prevailing war conditions tho owners of the Paris-track did not bid for the titular event". It was then that Man ager Koden offered the use of the local wooden way Will Doot Sport Tho awarding of these two events to the Point Breere motordrome greatly will boost the sport In this tlty They will be decided during the months of August and September. Tj largo number of entries has made It necessary for Man ager Roden to split each one Into heats and semifinals Unless the entry list exceeds iy far the present exyectatlons It will take three weeks to decide the championship In each race. Boston has been given the honor of staging three world's championships, at twenty, thirty and forty miles. The dates, however, will not conflict with those of the local wooden way and all the best pace followers in the country will be on hand to endeavor to gain new laurels, including Percy Lawrence, the American champion : Clarence Carman, cx-Amerl-can tltleholder: Vincent Madonna, the Italian champion : Victor I.lnart, the Belgian champ ; George Cameron, of Scotland ; George Wiley, of America, and Ulmer Collins, the veteran six-day rider, who gave such a remarkable exhibition at the local track Saturday evening. For this Thursday evening's .pro gram Manager Jack Roden has ar ranged one of the best cards of the ear. The main event will be a special flfty-mlle motor-paced race with inter national flavor. It has been the custom to have but four riders in each race thus far, but a deviation has been made nnd five will start Thursday night Kach will represent a different nation Percy Lawrence, the Ameri can champion, will represent his na tive land, Australia; iarence Carman, the Red. White and Blue , Paul Suttle, Switzerland; Victor LInart, Belgium, and George Cameron, Scotland. Mav Camel Durack Tour Contrary to the prevailing opinion throughout the East, the trouble which has arisen between Miss Fanny Durack, the holder of many Interna tional swimming records, and the offi cials of the Amateur Athletic Union of this country has not been definitely settled, and from all appearances will not. An article In the latest edition of a coast paper to reach this section states that in all probability the purposed tour of Miss Durack and her compan ion. Mlna Wylie, will be canceled by the A. A. U. unless the Australian mermaid suddenly changes her pres ent stand. , William Unmack, of San Francisco, who had arranged all the plans for Miss Durack's trip, has announced that he has washed his hands of tho entire thing and will not promote the tour. According to Unmack Miss Durack Is being wrongly advised and the main trouble Is a financial one. Financial Trouble Unmack's statement follows: "The whole trouble between Miss Durack and the A. A. U is a financial one. On her request, "Wylle and myself, without manager,' were InvlUd to this country. She has known Iver' since last November that expenses for two only would be allowed. On her arrival she made demands for expenses for three and refused to go on with my arranged schedule. She also demanded $150 for expenses on the steamer, which is unreasonable and contrary to amateur rules." The rumor that Miss Durack would turn professional Is but nn Idle guess.

JUDGE MORGAN today granted a temporary Injunction sought by Con nie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Athletics to enjoin the National Base ball Commission from forcing Scott Perry to play with the Boston Braves. The suit filed by Mack and the ac tion of Judge Morgan Is expected to precipitate another baseball fight with tho commission. This JUIgation against the "National Commission virtually Is against the Na tional League. There are five members, two from the National, two from the minors and one from the American. Ban Johnson and the southern representative voted against sending Perry away, hut Tencr. Herrmann and Farrell contended that Boston had a Just claim to the plaver. The injunction seems to be quite Im portant and sets at rest-the rumors that Manager Stalllngs was willing to take another player if Mack wanted to keep Perry. It is believed now that Boston Insisted on taking the twlrler because the club is going good and more pitching talent Is needed. Just what tho outcome will be Is con jecture; but It looks as If there would be a big split In the ranks of organized ball If the case Is not settled nmlrshlv on both sides. Connie probably has the backing of President Johnson and the American League, and It Is believed the league vf 111 see him through to the finish.

The major Ip.ikups are marking time awaltlnc n tlpflnlto announcement from the Provost Marshal's office on his In terpretation of the tlght-or-work order vl(lch Is to bo Into effect on July 1. Tho order as It was originally framed Included all men ofrdrnft ago partici pating In professional sports and ex empted actors. Professional baseball considers thift Its calling Is also a pub lie entertainment, ana that they hhould be considered In the same class as actors. Ximerous baseball players In the ma jor leagues who arc' within the draft age, but who have been placed In de ferred classes because of dependents, will 'not know where they stand until further notice Is received from Wash ington. Such a notice has been prom ised some time thls'week. In tho mean time, unless the ball players are exempt the major 'leagues will have a difficult task c-n their hand rearranging their forces to enable them to play out the season. If the original order stands as It was first announced, both the National and American leagues will be so badly dis organized that a readjustment of both circuits may be necessary. The club owners have been busy making plans, and In case there is 'no exemptions from the order. It Is likely that the baseball season will be finished with only one league playing. It is believed by many club owners that the flght-or-w&rk order would. mean that both leagues would 'have to pool their players Into one eight-club circuit. In cities like New York, where pach league Is represented by a' club, the play ers left over would have to be formed Into one club. Minor league "players un der and over the draft ago and veteran major league players who have retired from the game would haVe to. be called upon to fill out the ranks.

VETERAN BRITON TO COMPLETE WORK HERE Former Welter King to Train at Jack O'Brien's Gym for beonard Bout Jack Brltton, one-time ruler of the welterweights, will be here the latter part of the week to complete his train ing for that engagement he has with Benny Leonard at Shlbe Park on tho night of June 25. Benny and Jack'' have met before in the ring, and Leon ard was tho winner in that meeting. Brltton had trouble In making tho weight, which was 139 pounds, biit now Insists that at 141 he will enter the ring strong. , Since last winter Brltton has been appearing regularly against ,the iesti boys in his class, while Leonard has been devoting hlstlme to teaching box ing at Camp Upton. Benny ha3 taken on weight and many Insist yiat he is not the boy he was when he beat Brit ton last fall. The veteran welterweight pas gone ahead and worked hard all season. Only last week he trounced' Byron Downey, rugged Columbus welter weight. In a ten-round battle In Bosto'n Brltton will be here either Thursday or Friday and will do his work at Jack O'Brien's gymnasium. There ho will have the aid of; some high class talent. Even Jack O'Brien wlir give a little assistance. The promoters have been trying to persuade Billy Gibtnn.to permit Leonard to do part of his work 'In this city, but It is doubtful If the champion's man ager will let his protege work any place but In Billy Grupp's gymnasium. "We have done our work at Grupp's for all the big fights and we would not feel "right If we made a change. It j looks like Grupp's place for Bennv until Jhe night of the battle," said Gibson. , A smart roll front style . COLLARS have exclusively ,. ' vfj "-"lsBBB ?
