DUNCANNON CLAIMS UMPIRE ROBBED THEM; WITHDRAWS FROM LEAGUE; RAIN A FACTOR WORLD'S CHAMP HAS HARD BATTLE t, iJohnnv Kilbanc to Meet Joe Fox, English Boy at Phila delphia, Monday July 28 Philadelphia, July 21.—The first International boxing match that has been staged in this country in sev eral years is down for decision at the Philadelphia National League Baseball Park, next Monday night, with the principals Joey Fox, the featherweight champion of England 7 and Johnny Kilbane, the world's title holder. While the match has been made at * catchweights it will really he a championship battle inasmuch as * neither of the two main actors will scale above the featherweight limit. Kilbane is in Philadelphia putting on the finishing touches to his training ,at "Philadelphia" Jack O'Brien's i gymnasium while Fox is keeping on edge at Hermann's studio. Both re port as bein gready to step into the ring right now and the loser will : not have the consolation of being j able to give lack of condition as an ( alibi. Yesterday Kilbane weighed . 125 pounds and Fox Just teetered the scales when the mark was set 126 j pounds. * Kilbane Is Silent Fox is satisfied that he has a per fect defense against any of the cham pion's piledriving blows and is now engaged in perfecting an attack with which he hopes to land the honors. Kilbane is not saying anything for publication, but from the way he is i conscienciously preparing himself it is evident that he does not underrate j the Englishman. Kilbane and Fox will be preceded by four bouts which look to be full . of fight, at least on paper. Jack Dempsey, when the latter was train ing for his fight with Willard will meet Kid Norfolk. Norfolk has an idea that he can beat the champion y and as a first step towards recogni tion frbm Dempsey he intends to put over the K. O. on the Jamaica Kid. - A bout which is sure to be full of action is the one scheduled between Max Williamson and Battling Leon ard. They have been bitter rivals for several years and their bout will undoubtedly be a fast one. Cal De laney. the Celeveland light weight, who is Kilbane's sparring partnef, is down for six rounds with Joe Welsh of Philadelphia, and the open ing bout will be between Willie Han son and Whitey Fitzgerald.

Tris Speaker Is Now the Leader of Cleveland Team Cleveland, July 21.—Tris Speaker the sterling outfielder of the Cleve land Indians, was appointed man ager of the team by President James C. Dunn to succeed Lee Fohl, who resigned his post as leader of the team. Fohl's resignation, it is said, was because of the dissatisfaction of the public of his management of the team. In tendering his resignation to President Dunn. Fohl said: "I feel that the fans are not for me and as I have your interests at heart first and my own last, I think it best for all concerned for me to step down and out. The team has a chance to win the pennant and I don't want to appear in a light of being a hindrance to them. I hope they will win the pennant." Fohl wili be retained on the pay roll in some capacity, either as coach or scout. President Dunn said.

SNOODLES By Hungerford i . . , . , *7* f MV /f\ RnV I ( BLACKB6RRY \ fIL W: W DUNCANNON HAS QUIT D-P LEAGUE Blames Umpire For Loss of Game on Saturday; Hear Charges Tomorrow Duncannon has withdrawn from the Dauphin-Perry League! This startling piece of Informa tion was announced to-day by Pres ident E. E. Knauss, of Harrisburg. Dissatisfied with their defeat by M&ryaville on the Duncannon field on Saturday, because of alleged poor decisions by Umpire Hawley, Dun cannon officials made known their Intention of withdrawing their team yesterday. The decisions of Umpire Hawley cost them the game, they allege. Stone Umpire So angered did the Duncannon fans become after the game that Umpire Hawley, without the aid of police protection, was forced to flee from the ball field to the Pennsyl vania Railroad Station. Stones, green apples and other missiles were hurled after the fleeing arbiter by the Dnucannon mob. made up large ly of young boys and men. Play ers and officials are said to have had part in the affair, according to the report received by President Knauss. With the game almost over, Marys ville fans started for the Pennsylva nia Railroad station in order to catch a train, then almost due. As soon as the last man was out, the Marysvllle players made a line for the dressing rooms and few Marys vllle people were on the field at the time of the occurrence. Officials Meet To-morrow The matter will be thoroughly threshed out at a special meeting of the Dauphin-Perry League, sched uled to be held to-morrow evening in the store room of Shenk and Tittle. Market street. The meeting will start at 6.30 o'clock. Duncannon will not be represent ed at this meeting, according to a; statement of President Stewart Dun can. made to President Knauss yes terday afternoon when he made known his Intention of withdrawing the Duncannon team. Should Duncannon continue the ; stand it has already taken and re-1 fuse to send a representative to the j league meeting to-morrow evening, the franchise of the organization will be forfeited and action be tak en at once to secure another town to take Duncannoh's place. Other Towns Wsnt In Little difficulty is expected to be experienced in replacing Duncan-1 non. Several towns, formerly rep- j resented in the circuit, are anxious to get back, according to reports j that have been In circulation for; sometime. Halifax. especially, is i anxious to join the circuit, accord- j ing to one league representative, j while Dauphin is also believed to be | ready to come back. A third town, | it Is understood, would be glad to | break into the Dauphin-Perrv ranks, i Duncannon was literally robbed ] of Saturday's game. according to statements made to President Knauss. Decisions of Umpire Hawley permit ted Marysvllle to score her first run in the seventh inning and played a big part in the ninth-inning rally, which resulted in Marysville's vic tory, according to the statement of Duncannon officials and rooters. Aided Marysvllle, Claim In the seventh inning, the infield hit of Ellenberger, Marysville's rifiht fielder, was a foul ball, according to the Duncannon men. This ball was a pop-fly along the third-base line, which Pitcher Strieker, of Duncannon, attempted to field. Strieker struck the ball with his gloved hand and the ball went into the foul territory. Umpire Haw ley maintained that Strieker hit the ball while it was still in fair terri | tory. but Duncannon claims that he I did not strike the ball until it was across the line. Ellenberger later scored, after he stole second, was sacrificed to third and came home on Moor's single. Again in the ninth, Hawley is charged by Duncannan with fav oring Marysville. After Ellenberg er had driven out a clean single, Ger des was safe on an Infield hit. Dnu cannon contended that the ball struck Gerdes on the foot and rolled toward the center of the field, af ter Hawley had ruled that the ball was fairly hit. Both Gerdes and Ellenberger, scored later, when Rut ter hit. Attention Drawn to Score In the contention that Umpire Hawley cost Duncannon the game, attention Is drawn to the official score of Saturday's game. Marys vllle had ten hits as compared to an even half-dozen for Duncannon; four Marysville men walked as compared to three for Duncannon; and eight Duncannon men struck out, while but half that number of Marysville men whiffed. Duncannon this evening is expect ed to givo an official tone to Presi dent Duncan's withdrawal of his team from the circuit. A meeting of the Duncannon fans has been called for this evening, when it Is understood that they will give of ficial sanction to the withdrawal.

Newport at Millersburg. Ninth inning finishes won out for Marysville and Newport over Dun cannon and Millersburg. Saturday. Two runs were scored by each team. ] Marysville winning from Duncannon at Duncannon by a 4-2 score, and Newport downing Millersburg at Newport with the tallies standing 5-4. ' "Kid" Strieker, premier hurler of I the West End team of the Harrisburg West End Twilight League, and formerly on the staff of the Newport team of the Dauphin-Perry, was on the mound for Duncannon, and was bumped hard by Marysville. Striek er's defeat on Saturday was his sec ond in three starts, Newport bumped him for ten hits and a victory in his debut, but on Saturday, July 19, he held Millersburg to six hits and scored a shutout. Marysville hitters jumped all over Strieker's delivery and drove out ten safeties in the nine rounds of play, in addition to which three men were safe on bases on balls. But four batters were retired on strikes by Strieker. Biever Goes Strong Harry Biever, forty-year-old Marysville hurler, was just as good as he was twenty years ago and had Duncannon clubbers buffaloed throughout the contest. Six hits were scored off his delivery, but they were kept well scattered throughout the I contest. Four men gained their bases lon balls, but double that number were*retired on strikes. Duncannon had Marysville blank ed until the seventh inning. The steel town lads jumped off to an early start, scoring one tally in the initial period. After Waltz and De Haven had been retired, old "Pi" Hunter went to base on four balls and scored when Strieker doubled into deep center. Another run was scored in the sixth. Marysville started her scoring in the seventh when Ellenberger was safe on an infield hit. He stole sec ond and went to third on Rutter's sacrifice, after Gerdes had been re tired. He came home a moment later with Marysville's first run when Captain (Moore singled. The tying run was scored in the eighth when J. Lightner worked Strieker for four balls, stole second and went to third on Killlnger's infield out. He scored a moment later when Harry Biever i drove the horsehide into left field, fifteen feet back of thirdbase. Biever advanced to third and was credited with a three-base hit while Duncan non players were hunting for the ball. He died there when Stees was out. The game was iced in the ninth on successive hits by Ellenberger, Gerdes and Rutter. The work of Harry Biever feat ured the game. In addition to his sterling work on the mound, already mentioned, he gave a high class ex hibition at the bat, driving out three of the ten hits collected by the Marysville contingent. Paul Ellen berger again justified Manager Stees placing him in right field and. col lected two safeties and crossed the platter with half of Marysville's runs. Both teams played a high-class game in the field, not an error being re corded for either team. Millersburg got off to an early start in her game with Newport, scoring three runs in the first and one in the third, and stayed out in front until the ninth when Newport scored two runs and won out. "Bob" Bowman, who created a sensation in the Dauphin-Perry in 1815 while on the mound for Mil lersburg and who has been clubbing the ball hard and playing first this year in great fashion, essayed to pitch for Millersburg. His work was high class throughout and with bet ter support from his teammates, tvould have won his game. While ten hits were made off his delivery, all were well scattered. Only five men were fanned by him, but New port was forced to drive many balls to the infielders. Bowman, who had been leading the league at bat, featured the con test with his hard clubbing by secur ing a trio of safeties, half of the total collected by his teammates. "Lefty" Wertz, on the mound for Newport, contined to work in the sensational manner that he has shown in several previous games. But six hits were secured off his delivery and they were kept well scattered. Millersburg could do little with him, except in the first inning when he was somewhat unsteady and walked several batters. Ten Millers burgians were retired on strikes. Newport Fielded Well The Newport team played a sterl ing fielding game, handling many difficult chances without a miscue in the nine innings of play. Millers burg did some good fielding work as well, but was somewhat unsteady at critical moments. The pitching of the two hurlers was the outstanding feature as were the clubbing of "Bob" Bowman, for ' Millersburg, and "Ken" Kepner for Newport. Each had a trio of safe ties. Wallower, a youngster in right field for Millersburg, brought the crowd to it's feet when he made a sensational onehanded stab of a line drive. The lineup and summaries. NEWPORT AB. R. H. O. A. E.

Georges Carpentier Knocks Out English Champion Paris, July 2*l.—Georges Carpen tier, the French champion, knocked out Dick Smith, former English champion, in the eight round of a twenty-round bout Saturday. It was Carpentier's fight all the way. Smith was offered as the victim to Parisian fight fans in celebrating Carpentier's return to the ring after a five years' absence. He was com pletely out-classed, Carpentier domi nating the situation throughout. The fourth round alone was about even. Smith was down for a count of seven in the third, and took a count of eight in the fifth. Car pentier finished his work in the eighth with a left and right hook to the jaw. The French seemed anxious for a prompt knockout. He fought fiercely, leaving openings which might have been taken advantage of by a clever opponent. appeared a little short of condition, and some line was obtained on this evening's showing regarding his chances in a gruelling banttle. Fred Fulton challenged the win ner. The assembly was more spectac ular than the fight itself, beautiful women in georgeous gowns and men in evening dress cheering Carpen tier, Fnock and Nungesser, the aviators, when they were Intro duced. It was more like a social function than a prize fight, and the crowds went homo happy as the French idol had not been dethron ed.

Repayment of this loan is not to commence until 1030, It is only by rapidly build ing her mills that Belgium can hope to pay back this loan in the produc tion of her manufactured goods."
