Schoen's Protest
Denied by League
State Association Rule to
Limit Salem Teams la
not Liked
Discussion of the State Softball
association's ruling to this year
allow Salem but one team in the
state tourney and the lodging of
official protest of a ball game by
I Schoen's Bakers were principal
I items of business at a Salem asso-
elation meeting yesterday noon at
the Golden Pheasant.
The state ruling, brought in by
Vice President Cliff Parker from
State Association President Harry
Collins, was not favorably receiv
ed. It was voted to invite Collins
and State Director Dwight Adams
to confer with the Salem league in
an effort to get the rule, which the
local association intimated it
would not countenance, changed.
Decision Protested
Schoen's protest was upon the
third base decision occurring in
the -game in which they were de
feated by Golden Pheasant, 3 to 2,
in 12 innings. Manager Bob Well
er lodged the protest on the
grounds that the contrasting urn
plres decisions had violated i
rule.
The executive board of the as
soclation unanimously voted to
disallow the.protest, stating it was
the board's opinion no rule had
been Violated.
Brought up as a controversial
subject by the action of the Wait's
management last Thursday night,
in forcing Dealer Pitcher Henry
Singer to peel out of a sweat shirt,
it was' voted by the association to
sanction all uniforms in the
league as they are.

by mastering the schoolmaster's

Recovery
Mauler Seems
Much Better
Infection Found Is not
Serious; no Truth to
Planning Rumors .
By GAYLE TALBOT
NEW YORK, Jane 30-tfV
Though still weak and sick from
an emergency appendectomy per
formed last night, former heavy
weight champion Jack Dempsey
appeared well started on the road
to recovery tonight.
The old Mauler, who was strick
en with what he termed a "regu
lar Dempsey family stomach
ache" while playing cards with
friends, was able to summon a
I smile and shake hands with his
secretary, Ned Brown, when the
latter visited him at Polyclinic
hospital this afternoon.
No Immediate Danger
Soon after Dempsey 's pretty
wife, the former Hannah Wil
liams, left Jack's bedside for the
first time since the operation and
went home to tend to their two
little daughters. She appeared to
be in good spirits and convinced
that her husband was in no Imme
diate danger. She did not have a
room at the hospital.
A bulletin issued late in the af-
ternoon said:' "Mr. Dempsey is
quite comfortable. His tempera
ture is 101.2 degrees, his pulse,
82, and his respiration 24. '
A report from Jack's room said
he slept most of the afternoon and
seemed slightly improved.
Scores of Dempsey's friends
throughput the country called the
hospital during the afternoon to
inquire of his progress. Brown as
sured each of them that Jack was
"doing as well as could be expec
ted" and told them not to worry.
Operation Takes 85 Mimates
Dr. Robert Emery Brennan,
chief of the Polyclinic surgical
staff, who performed the opera
tion, had not yet pronounced
Dempsey out of danger and was
not expected to do so for another
72 hours. He revealed that the
appendix had been removed before
bursting and that drains were tak
ing care of the infection that was
found. The operation, performed
under a local .anesthetic, required
35 minutes.
There appeared to have been
no real substance to various
alarming reports during last night
and today, one of which gave
Dempsey only a "50-50" chance
of surviving.
It was recalled that Dempsey's
great friend and'patron, Tex Rick-
ard, died at Miami just 10 years
ago from peritonitis after an op
eration similar to Jack's. Demp
sey was with the famous promoter
at the time. It was he who in
duced Rickard to undergo the op
eration. Dempsey, like Rickard, dreaded
the knife and has been putting off
an. operation for at least a couple
of years. He had-an appendix at
