IDENTITIES OF TWO PLAYERS DETERMINED

Cincinnati June 2e.-The identities of two players were determined here today in finding handed down by the national baseball commission in which the supreme court of baseball reversed a decision of the national board. The finding in part follows:
 During the winter of 1s11-l2 the Mo- bile club of the Southern league, con- tracted with John H. Hanily for the sea- son of 1912
 "A dispute arose as to the identity of tkis player. The national board ruled that the contracting player was James F. Hanley and awarded his services to the Mobile club. He is left-handed pitcher. Player Hanily. who is right handed pitcher and whose name is signed tc the contract. submitted an affidavit setting forth that he is the party who signed with the Mobile club.
 James P. Hanley denied under oath that he received or signed this contract
 The signature of each player was se- cured and compared with that subscribed to the contract with the Mobile club with the result that there is no question that John H. HaniIy executed the con- tract under which that club claimed the services of James P Hanley.
 James P. Hanley did not sign the con- tract and. therefore. the commission over rules the decision of the national board and declares him free agent"

2O-ROUND BOUTS
 FOR LOUISIANA

Baton Rouge, La, June 26.-Twenty- round decision boxing bouts will be legal ized in Louisiana under the terms of The Gahagan bill, which today passed The senate with but one dissenting vote. It had previously passed the house by a Vote of 70 to 21. Governor Hall has not indicated that he will veto the measure.
 Under present statutes only ten-round no decision bouts could be held in the state.
 The new law, while authorizing cham piohsnip matches, stpulates that they must be held only under the auspices oi an athletic club, and the various mu- nicipalities of the state are given large latitude in regulating the bouts held with in their jurisdiction.
 It IS expected that a revival of boxing VIII follow the enactment of the law.
 Louisiana will be the second state in the union to legalize 20-round champion snip lights, having law similar to the one passed today.
