Alexander Holds Off.

Chicago, Mar. 13.-Cub fans were ex-
pecting notification today that Alex
apder the Great had consented to come
to their baliwick. When IS Cubs left
Chicago late last night for the training
camp, the impression was that Grover,
meeting the train at Kansas City, would
be offered a compromise settlement on
his $4,000 share of his purchase price.
Manager Mitchell has authority to close
a deal and it appeared he would not let
$500 stand in the way of a real pitch
ing staff.
Pete Kilduff, shortstop and holdout,
also was to meet the train at Kansas
City. Since there is a difference of only
$3.50 between the Cubs and Pete, it
was assumed he would make the jour
ney to Pasadena.
Otto Knabe, Phil Douglas and Nick
Carter were left behind. i'll.

BILLY hISKE WANTS
BOUT WITH Willard
Claims To Have Defeated
Both FuIton and Dempsey
and Wants Chance
By H. @. Hamilton

Omitted Pres Staff Correspondent
New York, Mar. 13.-Billy Miske of
st. Paul, a fighter of toughness, wants
to know where he gets off in this Will
lard-Fulton- Dempsey thing.
In a letter to the United Press sport
ing editor, Pearl Smith, manager of
Bill, wants to know why Bill ism It be-
ling given some consideration.
"Although Fulton and Dempsey are
first class men, l can't see why you
overlook Billy Miske, who has defeat
ed Fulton twice. remarked Smith, I'M
der a letterhead which proclaims Billy
the worlds heavyweight champion.
In seventy bouts,' Smith ambles
on, 'Aliske has never been knocked off
his feet whereas Dempsey and Fulton
have been knocked out. L have been try
ing to get Dempsey to meet Miske, but
to date have not succeeded.
"Bill may be lighter than these other
two, but he, like Bob Fitzsimmons, has
the goods. 1 think Miske is a second
Bob in both build and fighting quail
tiles"
Smith is the first man recalled just
at present who has designated Billy
Miske as the world IS heavyweight cham
pion. He claims it through Miske s
"victory" over Fulton in St. Paul. The
bout was ten rounds, went the limit and
no decision was given.
AS a matter of fact, Fulton and Miske
should settle their troubles, and Jack
Dempsey should eliminate Miske before
setting himself up as the equal of Full
ton. A Miske-Dempsey bout would be
worth a big gate.
st. Paul, Mimi, Mar. 13.-Billy Mis-
Ike and his manager, Pearl Smith, parted
company today. Billy assigned no rea-
son.

Fulton Hints Match.

Chicago, Mar. 13,-Although Fred
Fulton and his manager are headed fol
a Willard gabfest today in Kansas City.
they are considering offers for another
iabfes5 in the near future. The slam
ming given the might mud mixer by
old Tow Cowler caused one Chicago
promoter with a spare $4,000 to offer
that amount for a match with Jack
Dempsey.
1t is believed here that Jess Willard
will argue that Dempsey should have a
first shot at Fulton, Dempsey and his
manager want it because they believe
such a meeting would mean the west
erner would take Fulton s place as VII
lard's opponent for the title.

STAND IN SENATE FIRM
AGAINST EIGHT-HOUR DAY
Conferees Will Be Encouraged to
Hold Out Against House
1nsistence.

The conferees on the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
will meet in a day or two to take up
the items remaining in dispute between
the two houses. including clerks pay
and the Borland eight-hour amendment.
Sentiment in the Senate is strong
against the Borland amendment. The
Senate conferees will be encouraged to
stand out against 1t.
1t Is pointed out by senators that the
House insisted yesterday upon reten-
tion Of the amendment by only a small
majority. with many absentees known
to be against 1t, while in the Senate on
one roll call. when the same amendment
was pending. the vote was to 1
against 1t.
The feeling in the Senate is that this is
no time to apply such a drastic rule to
government workers, especially as ample
power is lodged in the heads of all de-
partments to require of the clerks eight
hours or nine. or as many hours as they
may deem to be necessary for the per-
formance Of the war work.
1t Is felt that with the summer coming
on, all the governmental buildings crowd
cd to capacity and with housing Conditions
unsatisfactory, actual impairment in the
service would follow application Of an
eight-hour rule to all branches Of the gov
ernment work.
