 Ban Johnson has been the president
 of the American league for eighteen consecutive years. He was elected in 1900 for a period of ten years, and
 on Feb. 15, 1910, he was reelected for twenty ears, with contract that still has eleven years to run. Since
 the American League was founded by Johnson in 1900, the National League has been ruled by six presi-
 dents. The late N. E. Young ended his term of eighteen years in 1902.
 The late H. c. Pullman reigned from 1903 to July 1909. John A. HeydIer was president during the remainder of 1909, when Thomas J. Lynch, his successor, served for four years The i Hon. John K.

 Warren in the third round at Phiia-i

 battle for Tommy, the native of Los. Angeles and adopted son of Louis. vile, who was the first man to hold
 the featherweight championship of the world under the Queensberryi rules. Little George Dixon, the great i est boxer of them all, could probabiFt have whipped Warren at his ,bess,

BOXING NOTES

: It certainly seems worth while for fighter to stick 10 the fighting ! game, providing he is a champion Of a class or a contender. For instance, Benny Leonard, holder of the worlds | lightweight championship, went over i to Philadelphia on New Years after ; noon and made S2,660 for his end for i boxing Paul Doyle, a former New York welterweight, a six round bout at the Olympia A. A. of that city. Benny received 85 per cent. of the gross receipts, which was the ineent- i've Leonard's manager, Billy Gibson, demanded to show Benny in "Philly." The receipts figured up $76,500, which broke two records for the club, one being the attendance and the other the receipts for a popular priced show, The club officials clean up close to $3,000 on the entertain ment.
 Benny Leenard's next battle will be another six7found no-decision bout at the Olympia A, A. of Phila- delphia on Monday evening, Jan. 13. Matchmaker George ERgel declared yesterday that he expects to use Benny on that date and that he is Joking around at present for a suita- lble opponent for him. Benny is also signed up to meet Johnny Dundee for eight rounds at the opening boxing show of the Sportsman's Club of Newark on the night of Jan, 20. Benny may realize over $3,5o0 from this scrap,

 The return battle between Clay Turner. the Indian light heavyweight, and Kid Norfolk, the colored heavy weight of Baltimore, will be fought ! at the ArTnory A. A. of Boston next Wednesday night. They will box 12 rounds to a decision, with Moffatt Flaherty the popular referee of New England, as judge of the contest. Ivy ! Lewis, matchmaker of the club wired the managers of the men yes terday that he had decided to stage the contest on Jan. 8 and for each of them to continue training for the i battle. Turner got the decision over Norfolk in their previous bout at the same club nearly two weeks ago. This bout will be held at the Grand Opera l House in Boston.

 mer Ponder when the young pitcher
 rejoins the Pirates at the opening of
 the season, for he has made all ex-
 cellent record as an aviator and earned designation as an ace just
 prior to the signing of the armistiee. Ponder, in his brief career as a Pi-
 rate, showed signs of developing into a very effective hurler, and Hugo Bezdek, who is proud of the valor- ous conduct of the youngster in Uncle Sam's service, will hail his re- turn with joy. The pitcher has not yet received his discharge from the Aviation Corps but expects to be sent home soon and counts on reporting to Bezdek at the Pirates training camp.
 J. C. Gillespie, known as 'Kid'' Gil- 1 lespie, a semi-professional player of New York, who has made quite a reputation for himself, has been

New York Dec. 1o.-Distillers

lions of gallons Of whisky and other
liquors from this and other eastern
ports before January Is, when the
national prohibition amendment be-
comes effective, but are meeting
with great difficulty in getting
learned today.
Shipping men declare that it is
extremely doubtful whether cargo
space can be obtained for more than
comparatively small percentage of
the liquors offered for export, al
though some have announced a
willingness to give preference to
liquor shipments to help distillers
and others out Of their difficulties.
Custom house official. state
heavy export movement already is
under way. Liquor exports have
been increasing rapidly for many
months, but the heavy movement is
said to have begun in October, the
latest month for which detailed sta
tistics are available, when the value
OF the exports Of distilled alcohol,
spirituous and matt liquors reached
VI ,307 .27o, ~ compared with only
S3o9,774 duringthe same period last
year.
Export Of liquor to Cuba is said
r be much smaller than generally
reported. It is pointed out that the
heavy import duty on liquor in that
country, combined with the fact
that the space in bonded warehouses
and storage plants there is greatly
limited, has forced exporters 10
seek other fields.
