AWAIT THE CALL
Inch-Postponed Battle Is
Due to Be Staged at Har
rison This Afternoon
IERMAN TAYLOR TALKS
IJy JAIES S. CAUOLAN
After many postponements, delays,
Setbacks, disappointments and other ob-
latructlons tlrat even threatened to call
loft tho bout at the last minute, Fred
niton, the rangy Minnesota plasterer,
and Jack Demp-ey, the coast contender,
are due to come tojtether nt Federal
League ball park, at Harrison, X. J.,
about 0:30 this afternoon. All Fulton
has walked Into Is one cancellation after
another. It all started when he was
matched with AVIllard, but public senti
ment was against tho bout, and after
nuch wasted effort all attempts to put
Ion tho heavyweight act were abandoned.
Dempsey was not having much dilll-
oulty to keep busy, but the moment he
was lined up with Fulton his troubles
began. They wero chased out of tho
West, camo to urJdReiwrt, Conn., ready
to entertain, but failed to Impress. They
next moved to Haltlniorc, but there tjiey
not only rulieu to get a permit, but
caused the olllclals to clamp the lid on
ill kinds of boxltiR entertainment for
the duration of the war.
Mocked at First
Their first attempt to appear In Xew
Jersey was mocked, unatrman Kmltn
bclnR quoted as sainK; me bout never
vould ro. However, a few weeks nsx it
received official approval. Just when the
boys had everything clear the Minnesota
Iran, otllciais nutted in ami claimed mu-
on never uiijicuicu wneii "ititu-u m u-
lort for physical examination. I reil-
ard then was forced to work overtime

Unless something develop1? between
iOW and li:.iu me noys win get to
other. Tho bout will Interest, for It Is
etween two of tho best men of their
eight In the world. Tho winner doubt-
ess will oe matcneu iu meei inara
henqver the public demands a meet-
ng. Hut a wiiiani uoui win not enter
nto the limelight until after Fulton and

romoter Talor Speaks
"Take It from mo, all the boys ad
vertised to appear In the all-star show
t Shlbo Park on Tuesday nignt win ne
here." said Herman Taylor, one of the
promoters of tho big boxing program
scheduled for next week. "It Is it tough
job to keep a lino on eight, but we have
heir forfeit money nnu contracts. I'.vcry
man will bn in tho city by tomorrow
night nnd complete the work here. Xono
t them will tauo pari in any uoui until
after Tuesday night."
The fuct that Jackson engaged in a
out In Koston last eunesuay nignt
after ho hud signed to uox nere on
Tuesdny aroused tho wrath of the youth-
ul promoter. Any Kind or an accident
would havo caused tho promoters em
barrassment and much added labor.

Baker Will Not Enforce
Work-or-Fight Order
Until September 1
237 MEN ARE AFFECTED
WnshlnRton, July 27.
Major league baseball was saved from
Immediate demoralization yesterday and
granted a teprlcve until September 1
under the "work-or-f.ght" order of Gen
eral Crowder.
Secretary of War Baker, In deciding
tho appeal of the National Commission
and major league owners that they be
allowed to complete the current reason,
denied tho application for suspension of)
General Crowder's order until October
15, but agreed to continuance of tho
i-pnrt until September".
Secretary Haker announced his ruling
In the form uf a memorandum to Gen
eral Crowder. It follows In full:
"A petition has been filed for an ex
tension of time within which profes
sional baseball players shall seek essen
tial or productive employment, and the
order asked Is one which will extend
until October IB, 1918. As grounds for
this request it Is nllcged that there aro
only 237 persons affected by tho so
called work-or-flght order; but that, In
spite of this small number, their taking
would lead to the Immediate breaking
up of the entire game.
"It Is further said that the notice Is
loo short to allow the leagues to adapt
themselves to the ruling nnd that the
failure of the clubs to adapt themselves
to the ruling is due to the fact that the
Secretary of War caused It to be known
through tho newspapers that the question
of the application of the order to base
ball players would not bo decided until
an actual case arose.
, "A hearing has been had on this sub
ject by the provost marshal, general, who
reports to me that It Is not clear to him
that the game will havo to be discon
tinued, even If tho order Is mado Im
mediately applicable.
"Tho purpose of the work-or-flght
order, so far as tho War Department Is
concrned, Is to strengthen the military
forces of the countryand not to control
ths lahor sltuntlon. 'incidentally It will
undoubtedly have tho effect of adding 4to
the number of persons usefully em
ployed and decreasing the number of
persons uselessly employed. In this way
the order will strengthen the military
forces by making It less necessary to ex
empt for Industrial reasons men who
otherwise would bo taken Into the mili
tary service. This Is an Indirect result,
but one of very great Importance, and If
exceptions are mado or postponements
are to bo made. In the enforcement of this
order it will require a very careful study
to deteimine whether those exceptions
ought to be tho persons In whose behalf
this petition Is filed or some other group
out of the largo number affected by the
order, many of whom have already com
piled with It. and brought about a read
just ntnt of the trades and occupations
which they had previously followed,
"I am Impressed, too, by tho repre
sentation made that tho baseball players
may have been put In a less favorable
attitude by reason of their reliance on
my statement thnt the question of their
Inclusion In tho terms of the order would
not bo decided until a case liad arisen.
"For these reasons It seems to mo en
tirely proper and fair trt.extend the time
during wjilch tho readjustment can tako
place, merely In order that Justlco may
be done to tho persons Involved ; and I
do, therefore, direct that the application
of the order bo made to date from Sep
tember 1. Tho order for the extension
to the 10th of October Is denied.
"NEWTON D. BAKER,
"Secretary of War."

C. B. BUXTON MAY PLAY
IN MIXED FOURSOMES
Local Champion Has Been Asked to Snhstitule in
Cross Match for Norman H. Maxwell. Who
' Is in the Draft
lly WILLI .M H. EVANS
Cameron II. Buxton, the Phlladei- -
phla amateur champion, and at pies-,
cut one of the big railroad men of the j
country, has been aked by the Golf As-
soclatlon of Philadelphia to play In the j
mixed foursome affair nt the 'phlladei-
phia Cricket Club on Saturday. August ,
10, for the American lied Cross. It he ac
cepts the Invitation ite will tako the,
place of Norman It. Maxwell, the for
mer North nnd South champion, who Is
one nf the million youngsters who at
tained their majority on or before the
first of last June and are now subjict,
to tho new draft. Maxwell was -very
anxious to play, but he 1m so uncertain
about his future movements that he de
cided to withdraw. Because of this un
certainty he will not be able to play in
tied Cross matches at Boston and Provi
dence and In the amateur-piofesslonal
matches next week.
Maxwell Can't Play
Maxwell says there Is nothing that
would give him moro pleasure than
playing In the match of August in. but
ho ha5 not the faintest idea whether be
will bo in town or i-amp on that date,
and rather than put the committee to a
lot of trouble to And a substitute at
the last minute he thought the best thing
to do would be to withdraw from It.
If Buxton can find time to play he
will be partnered with Miss Mildred
Caverly, tho national llnnllst and the
Philadelphia champion, against Miss
Alexa Stirling, the national champion,
and Bobby Jones, the sensational
youngster from Atlanta. Tho other
fotirsomo will, be made up of Miss
F.lalne Bfisenthal, former western cham
pion and runner-up last year for tho
title, and Perry Adair, also of Atlanta,
against Mrs. Ronald II. Barlow, twice a
national finalist, and Max Marston, "a
former national semlllnallst.
How They Do It Out West
Max Marston, who, paired with Os
wald J. Klrkby, defeated Chick Evans
and Warren K. Wood at Flossmoor last
Sunday, says a sum In excess of $22,000
was raised for the Bed Cross by tho
match. One. of the ways In which this
was done was by sending each member
of the club five badges of admission.
The members were allowed to pay what
ever they saw lit for these or they
could sell them to their friends. In
many cases some of these badges
brought a hundred dollars or more. A
very attractive scoring caid proved a
big seller, and, In addition, soft drinks
were sold and other souvenirs were dis
posed of to the gallery, which was laige
and enthusiastic.
There ought to be a large crowd at

There's a golfer out In I'hicago dis

not only for his golfing ability but also
for the witty remaiks that punctuate
ills ririv.s, approaches and putts. His
name Is I 'at Mcfunn, and oil the green
ho reigns supreme, for his putter, tried
and true, has taken the heart out of
many an opponent.
A few month-; ago Pat was playing
in a four-ball foursome. lie and his
partner wero 1 down at the eighteenth
tee and they eyed the distance to the
Hag with determined looks, (load drives
and excellent approaches followed, with
Pat the nearest to the pin by several
feet. Three putts were missed and Mc
t'.inn walked up to his ball with a confi
dent smile.
He lined up the putt and then set him
self for tho i-hot that would turn the
tide in his favor. He studied tho putt
fully fifteen heconds and then suddenly
straightened up and glanced behind him
Ills eyes fell on an Industrious rohln

He stared at the disturber, then set
himself for the putt and shot. The ball
ran to within two inches of the cup, then
glanced off and passed it. Pat remained

again rested on the zealous robin.

DOUBLE-HEADER
Two Defeats at Hands of
Reds Will Cause Tie for
Fourth Place
M E E T MATTY'S REDS
Christy Mathewson and his crew of
big leaguers, representing Clmvnnatl,
moved Into this city today to engage
our "peploss Phils" In a battle or some
thing for the possession .f fourth place
in the National League social standing.
The visitors arrived with a do-or-dle
spirit prevailing. They had quite a hard
time of It up In Iloston. getting walloped
twice yesterday by the overwhelming
scores of 11-5 nnd 12-3. As n result of
this double reverse and the Phillies" tri
umph over the league-leading Chicago
Cubs the home talent Is lending the Iteds
by a twr.-game margin.
This inaigln, however, may be wiped
out by an afternoon's work, or, as some
would say, nonessential woik. The lteds
and Phils are due to engage In a double
header at the local hall yard today, the
first gamo starting nt 1:48. Two de
feats for the home tribe, and the visitors
will be on equal footlnc with us.
Kven though the Phils lnoke even
with the league-leading Cubs during the
series Just completed, .Manager .Moran
and the faux arc far from Mtllsflcd with
tlie showing of the team. The men ap
pear to have lost their ambition and
pep. They go out on the field with the
idea of not caring when I ho game Is
over and who wins. Perhaps we have
the wrong idea, but several persons have
confessed that the listless play of the
Phils has permitted them to enjoy a
short nap nt the hall grounds.
