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.

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.

Jimmy Wilde, world champion flyweight, who can't make a match

prize ring. In a return match wit h Pal Moore, the Memphis, Tenn.,

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.

Soldiers from the United States !

to the game Wednesday at Island !
Park, when Connie Mack's Athletics i
will play the Klein Chocolate Com- I
pany team. Manager John Brack- j
cnridge will arrange to-day to have '
the soldiers brought from Carlisle
to this city.
Inquiries regarding this game in
dicate a large attendance. It prom
ises unusual interest as the Klein
team, will include several stars who
have been up against the Athletics
this season. Mellinger who is slat
ed to pitch has been working out
for a short period each day on sev
eral new curves which he will try.
He has the speed and is anxious to
make good. The work of the Klein
team will be watched closely as
Manager Mack is looking after new
material.
Work on Diamond
The game will start at 3.45. Man
ager Brackenridge will announce his
lineup and umpire to-morrow. The
admission fee will include the war }
tax. Work on putting the diamond
in shape started to-day. The out
field is in good shape. It will be j
necessary to trim the grass about;
the bases.
While rain is promised for this
week, it is the belief that there will
be sunshine for Wednesday. Local
teams have had hard luck because of
the daily down pour and postponed
games are piling up. No games were
played Saturday. The Dauphin-
Perry League had two contests. Both
the West End and Allison Hill

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.

they will carry their reconstruction
program through to a successful con- j
elusion. I notice an intense cultlva- j
tion of the soil which will result in i
the next crop being nearly equal to
pre-war crops.

Bad Breaks Is Cause of
Trouble in Red Sox Ranks
80.-ton, July 21.—The world cham
pion Red Sox, now in seventh place
in the American League standing are
out in a statement signed by virtual
ly every 1 member of the team, deny
ing that the team's failure was due
to dissension or mismanagement.
The poor showing is attributed In
the statement to "a combination of I
bad breaks, the failure of some of I
the regulars to perform up to their I
past standards, weak pitching and j
I continual bad luck on the field."
Manager Edward Barrow is said to
have "treated his players in a man- !
ner could not be improved ]
upon" and the statement adds that !
"the players are in complete harm- i
ony with themselves and with the !
manager."
Carl Mays, the star underhand 1
pitcher who quit the team recently, I
will be treded, according to an an- |
nouncement by President Frazee. !
He said that almost every team in !
the league was seeking Mays, and
that deals now pending might in- ;
volve two other teams, with the Red !
Sox obtaining one or two other play. I

"It is estimated that the loan of
500,000,000 francs which American
bankers have agreed to extend to
Belgium will go a long way toward
reconstruction. It also will have a
beneficial effect upon the purchase
price of the franc which at the pres
ent time is very low. 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."
Mr. Morgan said it was estimated
that the Germans had carried away
one-third of the Belgian live stock.
Experts of the United States De
partment of Agriculture have ar
rived from America to aid the Bel
gian Ministry of Agriculture in ship
ping breeding stock to Belgium.
"It is my understanding," added
Mr. Morgan, "that preparations now
are underway for sending a fleet of
thirty vessels, each carrying live
stock."
