TEST CASUALTY
SPECTATOR INJURED BUT WANTS TO SEE MORE
London, July 2. 'General Sir George. Kichardson, who was hit on the head by a ball while witnessing the Test match at Lord's yesterday, is in bed with a bad cut over the right eye, having been ordered complete rest.
A would-be interviewer was in- formed by her kidyship that her husband would be going back to Lord's as soon as possible, parti- eularly as he wants to see Mae- Millan hit another 6,

around the plans for bringing the "German Jack Dempsey" Max Schmeling, who recently chopped up the Basque Woodchopper, Pao- lino Uzcudun, into exchange of fis ticuffs with Jack Sharkey next Sep- tember.
By a ruling handed down to-day by the New York State Boxing Commission, Schmeling has been notified that he must fulfil his con- tract to fight for Humberto Fugazy, promoter, for the remainder of this
summer.
William F. Carey, head of the Madison Square Garden Corpora- tion, thereupon declared as soon as he was informed of the situation that he did not see how, under the circumstances, he could attempt to match Schmeling for a Madison Square Garden bout in September.
Fugazy is trying to arrange a battle between Schmeling and Phil Scott, the British heavyweight. Schmeling made known to-day that he would refuse any such propos- tion, or in fact anything else brought forward by Fugazy. He wants to be his own manager, hav- ing had too much experience with a variety of managers since arriving in New York with his pet dach- shund..
If Schmeling sticks to his refusal to work for Fugazy it will, accord- ing to to-day's ruling, result in his being held in high contempt.of the. New York State Boxing Commis sion, and consequent disbarment from further fights in New York.

It is understood that the British will not be represented by an Army team, but will be picked from Hurlingham while the American veterans, Webb, Milburn and Stevenson, will be replaced by the Hon. Winston Guest, Mr. Earl Hopping and one other of the younger players.
