August Herrmann, chairman of, the national rnmmission. cave out the following statement today 'relative to the work or fight" order as it concerns baseball: ' "My judgment is that the two major leagues should put the matter up to the proper authorities at once to find out whether we will be given a reasonable time to adjust, and if necessary, close out our business, or whether we shall close at once. "The players, without doubt, will follow the order to a man, but, after all, I believe they should be given time to puttheir house in order and to seek essential occupations. In my opinion, no .action should be taken until we know positively whether we are to be given any time in which to comply with the order or whether it is the wish of the War department that the men between the ages of 21 and 31 be called away from baseball on the instant , Cleveland Quits.

Chicagp, July 2,0. While the big fight these days is the one on the other side, still, every now and again, a real worth-while affair is pulled off over here. While such things as the promised Dempsey-Fulton fight flavor somewhatto Americans as does Hin denburg's promise of a dinner in Paris mere talk there is no reason to moan over such worth-while tourna ments as the one staged by the Ueve land A. C recently. The Cleveland club were out after monev for their fund to provide ath letic equipment for various camps and cantonments, and financial success it was. for it brought i $11,000. Not one dollar was misspent or misappro' priated by the club. There were ten hents in an, engag ns the greatest battlers of the coun try, who gave their services an out gratis, as their contrtoution to tne war via the route of athletics. The program was witnessed by thousands of spectators who came across won. derfully well. Paid Own Expenses. Some of the fiKhtinsr men. among them a world's champion, declined even to permit the athletic club to nay expenses, throwing that much into the general pot for the soldiers, With the exception ot tne one exni bition between Ted Lewis, welter. weight champion, whom nobody would fight, and the ancient but still lively Jack Sullivan, every one of the contests was a real one, in which sev eral knockouts"' might have been scored, but four rounds shortened the bouts. . The fighters included Benny Mc Coy, New York, who was beaten by oe Burman of Chicago; jonnny tui- bane, of Cleveland, who outpointed Larry Hansen of Denmark; Benny Valger of France, who outpointed El mer Doane of Buffalo; Matt Brock of Cleveland, who was beaten by Johnny Dundee of New York all m the bantamweight class: Rockv Kansas, of Buffalo, who was bested by Cal Delaney of Cleveland; Willie Jack son of New York, who won' from Young Christie of Buffalo; Barney Adair of New York, who gave up De fore Charley White of Chicago; Vin cent Pekonv of Cleveland, who ob tained a draw from John Griffiths of Akron, O. Johnny Still "There." v , Johnny Kilbane. world's champion, in no shape for what he had agreed to do and worrying deeply over his camp troubles, indicated completely that he is still master ot tne gloves. He took on Larry Hansen, a Dane from New York, who is about the toughest bundle of humanity I've seen in a long time. Larry took many a chance and slashed away from bell to bell. Johnny held the mastery al ways in his inimitable manner, and in the second round hit Hansen so hard on the side of the head that it looked for a few seconds as though it was a knockout. -Larry rallied and stalled for the moment, then weath ered the storm. Boxer Writes Song.' What with this "work or fight" or der going the rounds, and no one but Crowder knowing just where it will end or when, is it any wonder "fight ing men" and fighting instructors are looking for some essential work to dabble at as an avocation? Not so, at least that is the opinion of Ferd Dyer, boxing instructor to Uncle Sam's rookies at Camp Grant. Rock ford, 111. ' Fred wanted to do something that would liven up the spirits of his boys, as his a, b. c's of manly self defense are livening up their bodies. So he sat down and wrote a song a song of America and the war, and everything patriotic and fine. Nor was it a dabble, either. ItAwas a hit such os George M. Somebody might well wish he' had written. Like George, it's got into vaudeville, thar song, and carried down the . house where the soldier boys took respite in 1 ' ' I - : : -T w I t - " Xx M3 T:ki Cobb fa 3 - 2 yvMtottstr SUNDAY MORNING, JULY Manage Detroit Tigers management of the liaers will be of' fered to Tyrus Raymond Cobb. The Georgia Peach is very popular in De troit, and undoubtedly is the greatest base ball player the game has ever known. .His recent exploit, batting his way to the top of the list from 16th position in one month,, was nothing short of sensational. The from shooting at imaginary Fritzies, or, as they say, "Heinies." Out near Chicago, and in it, for that matter, has grown up the idea that lightweight fighters are light in deed, especially when it comes to looking for trouble. Fans of the ring are asking themselves the question: "Why are these lightweights backing and filling when Sailor Freedman's name is mentioned; and to tneir question comes back an empty echo. It's something like this on the sur face, but what's underneath no one knows. Sailor treedman, Bin by giv en name, had had three years' good training in the navy before this war broke out, and during those three years he's boxed about a bit. Now that it looks as it soon ne n De ;oo busy a-Germaning to prize fight, he wants a few more bouts before he does. And, though John Wagner Racine, Wis., promoter, is eager to match him, there's apparently no one wants the honor, v . Freedman has , been cleaning up pretty strong, and perhaps that is the reason. Harvey Throp said he was too busy to meet the youth; Jimmy Han Ion and all the rest of them offered their excuses. So it looks like a dull season for Racine, for Freedman's the only one there who will draw the fans, but apparently he can't draw the fanners. Some Real Humor. Humor is not left entirely to the humorist, apparently. Sometimes it creeps even into the ring. When it does that, if the Occurrence which we are about to elucidate is a sample, it is the Dromoter. or manager, or somebody who wears the glum looks normally attrmuten to tne joKesmun. It's a serious business when a new comer into the ring aspires for hon ors, and that's where the humor is. Charley Murray, who ran a few big fichts the other dav in, Buffalo, is authority for that. He had a curtain raiser to a regular show, and one of these birds just, knew he was right there in fact, every swain from the country round where he did battle said so. Drifting into Buffalo, where he un derstotid every one was laying to trim him, he harkened with a goodly hark to the warnings of his staunch supporters. He demand.ed of Murray who was to be the referee in aggriev ed tones, and Murray let him have a left-hand mental jolt in his assertion "Wha do vou care?" "Well, I got a right to know," shot hack the boxer. "If vou're not satisfied with Kelly. he's the man, we can easily get sub stitutes." Very well. The young hopeful shut up and the fight commenced. True to the oredictions of his enthu siastic backers, the nobody from No Man's Land was putting up a good show, knocking his ' antagonists all over the lot When, bing something went wrong with the engines below stairs, and the lights went out.

REDS' DOWNFALL A MYSTERY WHICH NONE CAN SOLVE Started Reason in Great Style; Now Not Even Pennant con tenders; What's the Vj Matter? By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. New York, July 20. The downfall of the Cincinnati Reds is one of the biggest mysteries of the base ball season. Last April, as the teams lined up for the start of the National league pennant race, the Keds stood out as one of the clubs that jooked sure of a first division berth, and there were a few writers who went so far as to pick them as the pennant winners. But the Keds today are not even pennant contenders in the full mean ing of the word, for they have , per mitted other clubs to build up big leads against their chances. Matty had a ball club at the start of the season that looked like a sure winner. In Roush, Neale, Sherry and Lee Magee, Chase, Wtngo, Groti. Blackburne, Griffith, Toney, Schnei der, Regan and a few others, the Old Master had the nucleus ot wnat looked like a hard-driving club, espe cially with the bats and in the pitch ing division, tor the nuriers men tioned here are all three noted for a capacity for work. Then came the big pennant drive a slashing, bril liant drive at the start for the Reds and the slump that followed. No one has offered a satisfying solution to the predicament the Reds have got ten into; and the problem remains unsolved. But in justice to the oustanding players on the club, and to Matty himself, it seems timely to say that the Reds are a much better ball club than their standing indicates. Their plight is just another instance of a good Ciuo going wrong. One of the best things that could possibly have happened to the Amer ican league has been the rise of the Washington club to a position of prominence in the pennant race. Clark Griffith's boys have been mak ing themselves felt, and their play ing has awakened Washington fans to the point of genuine enthusiasm over the Senators, a thing that has not been shown for years. Washington today is filled with war workers whq will remain there for the duration of the war. A generou percentage of the war workers are I . .. e t J a base Dan tans irom cities ana towns outside of the major leagues, and they never miss an 'opportunity to attend the games. The result has been grat ifying from 'a box office standpoint, and the influx of thousands of people in the capital has had its share to do with increased pattronage, yet, the playing of the Senators has been the main latiur in i cawciKcuiiiK imcicai. No Small Task harmony every day. The shooters must be souaded, they must be gotten to the traps, and the traps must al ways be kept .working or the tourna ment will not "finish in the allotted number of days.
