Zuna of New York (who was eighth today), in winning last year. It was 3 min utes fatter than the time Demar made as champion in 1911, which was itself a record.

Dempsey was with Joe Beckett, British heavyweight champion, and his usual retinue, while the king was accompanied by the queen and the princess. All the British money the world's champion has seen so far is a small bet he won today at the races, and on their return to the hotel Jack Kearns, manager of Dem-psey, said that no. tody has offered anything tempting yet. although several promoters are trying hard to arrange an, exhibition carnival. Tonight Dempsey will dine with Carpentier at the letter's training quarters in Maiden Head, and the world's champion expects to see Geonges box Ted (Kid) Lewis here on 'May 11. Dempsey is reticent con c ruing his favorite in that bout, but ir he is of the same opinion as some of his entourage he will be backina the Frenchman.

C, April 19. Professional baseball, as represented by major and minor leagues, operating under the national agreement, was attacked today in the' supreme court by counsel for the Baltimore club of the defunct Federal league, in arguing the sui. of that club for damages al leged to have been suffered when the Federal league disbanded under a "peace agreement" with organized baseball. The Baltimore club contended that professional baseball teams under their schedules engage in interstate commeice and that those which are parties to the national agreement constitute a monopoly in restraint of interstate commerce in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The court of appeals of the District of Columbia, reversing a decision of the supreme court of the district, awarding the Baltimore club damages of $240,000. had held that professional baseball teams .were not engaged in interstate commerce. "No statute can be construed as ap plying to combinations to regulate sport," counsel for the defendants said, "unless congress has plainly in dicated an Intention that this should happen." "The court must decide -whether or ganized baseball is abovo the law or the law above them," counsel for the Baltimore club said. of Newberg is on the mound and Earl Baird, also of Newberg, behind the bat.

Clayburn Carson British Fistic Stars Must Be Taken On Three at Time by Amer ican, Thinks Briton. NEW YORK, April 19. (Special.) The following exchange of cable grams between George Bernard Shaw and the New York World is self-ex Dlanatory: The World to G. B. S. Now that Dempsey is knocking at England's door, whom would you choose as nis next opponent to win a "moral vie torv" from him? G. B. S. to the World Unless Dempsey is prepared to take on our champions three at a time, his visit here will be one- of perfect peace. Before the big Jersey City fight last summer Shaw declared that the od'dsi should be 50 to 1 against Dempsey. After Carpentier's defeat the World sent Shaw the following cablegram: "Now, how about Car pentier? Tou never can tell, can you? Shaw replied then with tne following characteristic Shavian re tort: "I stand by every word of my article. Dempsey was morally knocked out in the first round, also in the second. Ask Corbett." In one of Its accounts of the fight the World said: "In the second round Carpentier clearly established what the 'British liked to call in the early part of the war the "moral ascend ancy.' In Corbett's story of the fight the ex-champion said: "In the first round it looked about even. In the second round Carpentier had Demp sey groggy, without any question. After that Carpentier got tired and could not stand the strain of rough ing it with Dempsey. It was the old, old story of the good big man beating the good little man." Apparently Dempsey has been "do ing his stuff" effectively for the benefit of the great G. B. S. and ap parently the great G. B. S. has availed himself of the divine right accorded the 'women and Shavians to change their minds. Lewis Offered $25,000. CHICAGO, April 19.

REDUCTION LEAGUE INDORSED. JURY STILL OUT NO AGREEMENT YET REACHED IN MURDER CASE. State, Unwilling to Dismiss Action in Face of Circumstantial Evi dence, May Hold Fourth Trial. At a late hour last night no indi cation of agreement had emanated from the lury room in which the fate of John I Burns, alleged murderer ol James H. Phillips, was being dis cussed. The jurors retired at 10:10 yester day morning to deliberate in the case, which has three times gone to trial in the circuit court. In the first two trials the jury was discharged with mir. having reached an agreement, Circuit Judge Stapleton asserted 'yes terday that he intended to give the jury ample time in which to reach some decision. The etate is unwilling to dismiss proceedings in the face of a circum stantial case which deputy district attorneys handling the trial believe is even stronger than that on which Dan Casey, alleged pal of Burns, was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. and should there be no agreement this time, a fourth trial probably will be held. Phillips was shot and killed by two boxcar bandits in a duel in the Al bina railroad yards on June 14. Casey was one of the pair and was shot in the hand. The etate produced evi dence indicating that Burns left his home, where his rooms were adjacent to those of Casey, in company with Casey on the night in question and expert testimony to the effect that a revolver found in Burns' room un der the mattress of his bed fired one or tne snots Killing I'niiiips. A strong card in the state's hand was a "letter to Casey, written by Burns in 'the county jail, in which an alibi was "framed" for both of them, according to the prosecution's theory The defense sought to prove that friends of Burns had -seen him around his home at 129 Russell street at the hour the shooting in the railroad yards occurred. Joseph L. Hammersly and George Mowry, deputy district attorneys, prosecuted the case. D. Ci Lewis and B. F. Mulkey handled the defense. COUNCIL TO VOTE TO PROVIDE BASE FOR GIFT STATUE.

Bill Limiting Millage Levies to Amount Available on Assessed Valuation Is Urged. SALEM, Or.. April 19. (Special.) Members of Marion county .Pomona grange at a meeting held at Ankeny today went on record as indorsing the legislative programme outlined by the Oregon state tax reduction league and censuring the . United States senate for seating Senator Newberry of Michigan.

"We further indorse the propose measure providing that .the taxes raised by the various millage levies, shall not exceed the amounts of money that would be available com puted upon the assessed valuations of the year 192?." It was argued at the meeting of grangers that the remaining seven tenths of a mill tax, based on the equalized assessments, will raise an amount of money nearly as large as Is realized from the present millage levy. Information was received here to night that J. C. Cooper of McMinn ville, president of the State Tax Re duction club, is dissatisfied with the action taken by a committee of the organization in attempting to reduce the millage levy and has threatened to initiate a ' bill at the November election eliminating the entire mil lage levy for the educational insti tutions.
