Cleveland, Feb.

21.The unconditional release of John P. Stuffy McInnis, veteran Ameriwn league first baseman, was announced tonight by the Cleveland baseball club, waivers having been obtained several days ago. The probabilities are that McInnis will go to the Boston Braves. McInnis came to the Indians from the Boston Red Sox fourteen months ago in a trade for Elmer Smith. George Burns and Joe Harris.

Previous to jelning Boston he hfOl been a member of Connie Macks famous Philaielphia. For a time it appeared as though the Braves would decline to waive claim to McInnis. It is understood that the National league club has made McInnis an offer, but that the veteran has not accepted. With the release of McInnis, the Indians have Prank Brower, recently acquired from Washington, and Louis Guist available for the initial sack. There also is a chance that Manager Speaker may give Glenn Myatt, for whom the Indians are said to have paid Milwaukee a trial at first.

Chicago, shaded Midget Smith of New York in the main event of the boxing show the Harold Thylor post of the American Legion before a north side suburban club last night. They scaled 120 pounds at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

The bouts were staged after Judge Ryner in Circuit court had granted an injunction restraining officials from interfering in any way. From the first tap of the bell these little warriors, who met for the fifth time, flew at each other like two banty roosters. Neither overlooked an opportunity to hit with either hand when they were in close quarters or at long range. In fact, there were few telling blows struck at long range, but damaging punches were landed when they were in close and each had one arm free. Trade Punch for ranch.

In fact, Smith would take a punch to got in close to hammer Joie about the body and kidneys. This was his style of milling throughout, although he stuck a few straight lefts in Burman's face and swung an occasional right to Joe's head. Burman used a straight left hand to good advantage. He jabbed the eastern boy as many as three times without returns. and at times played a tattoo on Midget's body when they were in close.

Joe tried hard to cross his right to Smith's jaw, but Midget generally managed to get out of barm's way, although Joe did connect a few times. Arldget Starts Strong. Smith had the advantage of the opening session, when he pounded Joe around the bldy in bang up style. The second session was about even, while Joe had the advantage in the third, when he used a straight left to advantage. Joe also had the better of the milling in the fourth, but Midget came back and took the fifth, when be socked Joe on the jaw with two solid right hand punches.

The sixth was one of the best of the contest, with both mixing at a furious clip. Burman was entitled to a slight shade. Honors in the seventh, eighth. and ninth rounds were about even, while Joe had the best of the final seasion. In the opening round Burman lost his balance on the ropes and partly fell out of the ring.

1 Good Bout All the Way. Both boys left the ring with slightly damaged features. Joe's lips were cut and he bled a trifle from the nose. Smith's lips were also cut and his body red from the many punches landed by the western boy. It was one of the best bouts seen in and around Chicago in the last year.
