i he main bout of the evening is be-
tueeu Battling Kunz and Al Bates,
or Daubnry. This is scheduled to go
ten rounds. Kuhn and Bates are
clever lads, two of the best in this
caution, and they'll put up a first-
clnss bout without question.
the semifinal will be as good as
the main go, and will be between
Bobby Gnir, of Brooklyn. and Young
Schumoker. of Sheepshead Bay. Both
boys have a long record of wins and
‘ should make every one of the eight
rounds lively. -
The other two bouts are between

club, and Eddie Gill, of Bridgeport, and
Pete Virgil, of this city. The prelimi-
naries uill be six- round bouts. The

that this action seals the doom 0!
the project. which it was hoped would
bring international League baseball to
this city, was the opinion offered by
men identified with the sport here.
Representing the interests 01‘ the
New York State League and the ow-n
ois ot the various component clubs.
Air, Earrell sought the postponement,
tlirough the office of Frank J. Miller,
attorney for William 1’. Quinn, trus-
tee in bankruptcy.
William Rubin. representing dual
interests, agreed to the postponement
of the sale when it was made clear
to hint, that the State League club
owners had taken a positive stand
against permitting the International
League to acquire the Syracuse prop-
erty rights of the State League.
According to Mr. Rubin. who repre
sents Burchell, of the defunct Syra‘
cusce club, the postponement of the
sale was asked for in order to defeat
the lnterndtional League proposition.
