The thunder shower put a.l nd to th proceedings on the District League grounds yesterday when Aloysius was vainly struggling for a victory over Ninth. The Sunday School leaguers had the game well under cover when the tain fell in the laf.t half of the third, when the score stood 5 to 0 in Ninth's favor. A most unusual set of plays was made by Ninth in the second, wnen the first three Aloysius men occupied the bases and were caught off thp ba tlm next man stood at bat.

Sullivan was caught off third, and Hlnes and Boo Kummer were put out Between second and third on a relay of plays. Ten assists were credited to thee three put-outs. Boxing Commissioner In New York Replaced NEW YORK. Aug. 12.

Bartow 6. Weeks, recently appointed by Governor Dlx as one of the three commissioners to supervise boxing in this State under the terms of the law recently passed, has declined the place, James E. Sullivan, for many years the president of the Amateur Athletic Union but now its secretary-treasurer, has been named to All the place on the State boxing commission left vacant by Weeks refusing to serve. Governor Dix has notified his secretary of the change in the personnel of the commission. This action of Weeks was not a surprise In pugilistic circles.

Ever tlnce the tender of the place by Governor Dlx Weeks has been non-com-mital as to whether he would accept or decline it. A few days ago he had a conference with his old-time athletic friend. James E. Sullivan, on the eubject Weeks told Sullivan that he wa6 unable to accept the office, much as he would like to serve, and that he thought Sullivan could fill the bill. After several conferences on the subject.

Salllvan decided to accept the position if it was offered by Governor Dlx. Weeks thereupon sent word to Governor Dlx that he would not be able, because of business engagements, to All the berth, and suggested Sullivan as the best man for it. Governor Dlx thereupon appointed Sullivan. The other men offered the honorary position to State boxing commissioners. Major Dixon and F.

S. O'Nell, have accepted. With Sullivan re to accept the commission can officially begin work next week. As soon as thev take office the Frawley boxing law will go into effect. Philadelphia Golf Title Won by McDermott PHILADELPHIA.

l.t off this honor. Bob Kummer occupied the mound for Aloysius and fared pretty well until the third, when singles by Steele and Litz and doubles by Charlie Broome and Harley shoved four runs over the block. Then came the shower that Aloysius welcomed. Unless Aloysius shows a reversal of form In the post-season series they will hardly be close contenders for the District honors. In the exhibition games during the past few days, witn American Security and Ninth, the District League champs have not displayed much pep.

Brammer let his hit get by him and lost It in tho tall grass. Liverton made the circuit, but did not touch second and had to go back to first. Miller made a nice catch of Hlett's line drive to left, saving the Hamline team from getting the fast boy on bases. Robinson started a lightening double play when he copped Miller's line drive and erased Woodward off the second bag- Liverton made a nice stop and throw of Rawilngs grounder, getting his man with a big margin. He also connected for two hits and was on third with Meyers up when the rain stopped the proceedings.

Rain broke up the Manhattan-Kendall game in the fourth Inning with the score 4 to 2 In favor of Kendall. It was Manhattan's half of the Inning and two men were on base with none out. Had the game progressed it would undoubtedly have been a very poor exhibition, as neither pitcher was showing anv kind of form In' the first half of the fourth Kendall found Rawilngs for three hits, tcorlng three runs.

That 11 is no easy matter to start a league from a financial standpoint has been found out by the league officials, but they have paid off nearly all of their Indebtedness, and are now on a firm footing.

In addition to being well off financially, they havo the best accom-mcdatloas for spectators of any league In town, according to their own statement. The Olvmpia League Is a fixture. The games have proved popular with the fans around the playing grounds, and a good-sized crowd has always been on hand.

try. That the good roads movement, already most active in the South, will receive a great stimulus as a result of the tour Is a certainty, and indications are for a large and representative entry list of individual owners. The route selected embraces ten States, and besides being highly interesting from scenic viewpoint, it affords a veritable lesson in early American history. It passes the battlefields of Gettysburg and Antietam and also the revolutionary battlefield of Guilford courthouse, and follows the Shenandoah valley, which is replete with wartime sites and monuments. Emerging from this beautiful valley the route passes directly rfcross the famous natural bridge of Virginia and south, of Roanoke there Is mountain scenery a plenty, while here one gets in intimate touch with the hardy Virginia mountaineer.

Tha famous tobacco region of northern North Carolina is traversed and fine macadam roads lead through this section south through the cornfields of South Carolina and into the cotton-fields of southern South Carolina. Cotton mills are to be found in most of the towns along the line and a prosperity undreamed of a few years ago is everywhere evident. The tour will not be complete without a stopover in Washington, and it is believed the American Automobile Association will consent to include this city in the itinerary of the tour. The Automobile Club of Washington and the Chamber of Commerce are working hard to have Washington made one of the night stopping places. David Bruce-Brown and Caleb S.

The Abbott-Detroit agency, for which a number of dealers were negotiating, was placed yesterday by B. U. Traub, traveling representative of the Abbott Motor Company.

The name of the new agents will not be announced by Mr Traub for several days. The Abbott-Detroit car has been in the limelight for several months on account of the great trip now being made by Dr. Charles Perclval in the Abbott-Detroit "Bull Dog" car. This machine has been driven over 30.000 miles in the last few months, and is scheduled to complete 1CO.00O miles before its tour Is ended. The car Is now en route for Alaska.

Dr. Joseph Wood Is the latest purchaser of a Krit runabout. The sale was made by the Wilson Company, and Mr. Wilson Is authority for the statement that the sale was the quickest he ever made, being effected In less than five minutes. "Del" Gainer Out of Game for Month DETROIT, Aug.

12. "Del" Gainer will be out of the game for another month, at least, with his broken arm. It may be six weeks. This statement was made by Dr. G.

S. Gilberg, specialist on fractures, and who was called Into the case by Dr. W. R. Keane, the club physician.

There is a callous between the two bones in Gainer's wrist, and it is necessary that this be fully worked out before the player is able to use his wrist with any freedom. "Gainer had a simple fracture, but It healed with a callous between the bones," said Dr. Gillberg, Thursday morning. "In his case It Is simply a case of waiting until nature relieves him. We are doing all It is possible to do with modern appliances, and the effects of the fracture are yielding slowly to our treatment.

"I do not believe it possible that Gainer can get back into the game within four weeks. There is considerable stiffness in the wrist and he would not be able to throw a ball with any degree of accuracy. "His throwing would contain 90 per ment of luck that Is, if he did get the ball straight it wouldn't be from any particular effort on his part. "Gainer Is optimistic. He wants the wrist to neal strong.

I am confident It will. I have cautioned the' player against exercise, because he is liable to undo all our efforts. But I have no hesitancy in saying If our advice is followed that the wrist will heal to the same degree of strength evident before Ihe accident." Gainer has been having light workouts every day with Catcher Wilson, secured by Navln from Bowdoln College. Wllspn Is a husky, and the two young players have gotten real chummy. "Gainer doesn't think he will be able to play at his proper gait before next spring," said Wilson, this morning.

"When the accident occurred he was told he would probably be back in the game in two months at the outside. "The two months have passed, and still the wrist Is stiff. He is working out every day at the park, and he seems to be getting some of the stiffness out of it." Wilson and Gainer are considerably concerned over the condition of Mori-erty, Cobb, and Delehanty. The two players, who are now in their first season of big league ball, look up to the stars on the team the same as does a small boy.
