till Next Year.

Atlantic City. n. J.. Dec. 2S.-The
New Jersey Boxing Commission has
put temporary restraint TO a pro-
posed amendment for twelve-round
bouts in the present law, which lega-
Lies eight.
Although private expressions Of
fered, IL was announced for the COM
mission as a body that the time was
not considered ripe to seek the extern
sion. 1t was stated that in another
year the recommendation stood better
chances of being fayorably considered
than at present.
The commission decided not to
touch the matter at the coming ses-
sion of the legislature at Trenton. but
1t may possibly be advanced by legis-
lators themselves The northern end
of the state is said to strongly advo-
cate longer bouts.
The boxing commission met yester-
day to discuss changes in the present
law. A salary for the commissioners
and their secretary was taken up.
There will be a recommendation to
cut the presnt state bond of sic. 900
by the promoters to $500. and that
another separate guarantee of $1,000
be asked for the protection of con-
tracts
Assemblyman Underwood Cochran
of Atlantic County. will act for the
commission in introducing the amend
ments

RACE MEETING AT
CLEVELAND SOUGHT

Cleveland. Dec. 21.-AIthough Cleve-
land lovers of the bangtails would
jump at the chance to accord hearty
support to the running horse game
there doesn't appear to be much
likelihood that they will have their
wishes granted the coming season.
Men high in public and business life
IN the Fourth City make no bones
about liking the runners and stano
ready to lend their influence and f.
nancial aid but unless the Ohio legis-
lators take the question in hand there
is but doubtful chance for the run
ners to hold forth in Cleveland or its
immediate section.
II looks very much as If Cleveland
lovers of the horse game will be forced
to confine their affection to the trot-
ters and PAGERS. The annual meeting
OF the Grand Circuit stewards is set
for Philadelphia on January Is and
IA, and there Is every reason to be-
lieve that they are going to have a
real hot time before they get squared
away on their 1919 lineup.

men are good sportsmen and fight
ers was the unanimous opinion of
American army and navy boxers.
who arrived here from London
where they participated in the an
nual army and navy boxing tour
nament. The only semblance of an
excuse offered by the American box

by the British rules and that the
three short rounds did not give
''them time to get started"
Richie Mitchell, the Milwaukee
lightweight, said he lost on the
decision OF three English judges.
The Scotch referee decided in his
favor.
Pal Moore. the Memphis bantam

BAKER IS PROBABLY
ONLY ONE TO QUIT

Cobb, Speaker. Eddie Collins. Baker.
Mathewson, Fletcher-a group of great
players, and all but Matty still ac-
tive-have been mentioned in connec-
ton with retirement since the 1918
season closed. but the probabilities are
none of them except Baker will re-
tire.
In the case Of Cobb in particular it
would be a tragedy to lose such base
ball genius as his when his superla-
tive skill is still so far from being
expended. If he considers how the
public will miss him he will reconsid-
er. Baker, Speaker, Collins. Fletch-
er-why, those men needn't think of
retirement for another year at least
The powerful cudEels of Baker
Speaker. Collins and Cobb should not
be stilled while so many base hits are
left in them or while they can pro-
vide such thrills and expectancy for
the populace. Aside from all this, the
hardest thing the professional bali
player has to do-harder even than
making good-is to give up the life.

he belongs to two clubs and again
he will be informed that two clubs
say he does not belong to them. Traded
to the Yankees by the Browns a year
ago. Plank refused to report to the
Yankees. Miller Higgins announced
that the veteran southpaw is not his
property. because it was agreed with
Quinn that Plank and Cullop would
revert to their original clubs il
they failed to sign contracts in 1918.
However, Quinn counters Hugs
