C0MISkEY COULD
 FIND NO CONTRACT
White Sox Owner Says Johnson
 Has no 20-Year Agreement

New York, Dec. 3.-Charles Comis- key, owner of the Chicago White Sox and vice president of the American league, yesterday reported to the ma jority directors of the American league that his researches in the Chi of the American league, failed to dis close any evidence supporting the claim of Johnson that he has 20 year contract to serve as president of the league at a salary of $25, 1000.
 Comiskey makes no bones of the matter. He states positively that he not believe such a, contract is in exist ence. In a statement issued at the close meeting at the Hotel Biltmore the fol- lowing para graph is included:
 MT. Comiskey reported that owing to MT. Johnson's illness it has not been possible to secure the papers in his custody relating to his contractural relation to the league. Mr. Comis1ey expressed the opinion that no contract of that nature exists
 The special meeting of the Ameri- can leagues board of directors was at tended by the usual quartet-Cols. Ruppert and Huston of New York, Charles Comiskey of Chicago and Harry F'razee of Boston and their at torneys. As in former meetings, Comiskey was made chairman of the session and Frazee secretary.

structlVe tactics of Ban Johnson.
 Ruppert explained that the work of the committee had been hopelessly tied up by Johnson's refusal to sit with him, his own appointee, in a meeting of the joint conference. The Yankee colonel also reported that the National league committee would not sit in the meeting with Johnson if he (Ruppert) was absent, and expressed the opinion that there could be no change on the commission until Johnson is rem owed or is forced to change his attitude.
 Joseph Heintzman, a Cincinnati at torney, was in the conference with the members of the board, regarding the results of his investigation of the con- tract of the Western Union company with the American league on the sub ject of ticker service. Heintzman in formed the directors that through the cancellation of a contract with the telegraph company in 1917 the Ameri- can league lost considerable money. This contract still had two years to go when it was cancelled by both major leagues.

FAVOR A NATIONAL
 BOXING COMMISSION
New Jersey Takes Initiative in Organizing Body to Control Sport

Trenton, \. J., Dec. Skew Jersey certainly is blazing the boxing trail. Following close upon the organization of the New Jersey Boxing Promoters association, as outlined recently, the New Jersey Boxing Commission has taken the initiative in the formation \ of a National Boxing commission to regulate and supervise the ring sport in this country.
 At the suggestion Ot Commissioner W. l.. Cam of Elizabeth the New Jer- sey Boxing commission met in Trcn- ton yesterday and adopted a resolu- ton faNoring the proposed National Boxing commission and outlining the system along which the proposed, commission should be formed.
 The resolution last night was mailed to all similar state and municipal box ing commissions throughout the coun- try as well as to public officials of
 states, counties and municipalities
 where boxing is permitted, suggest ing that representatives be chosen to g assemb in New York city or the Middle West for the purpose of or ganizing a national commission and adopting uniform rules and regula- tions to govern and safeguard the sport.
 Good Thing for Sport. If the idea launched by the New Jersey Boxing commission comes to a successful termination it will be the best thing that ever happened to boxing i'll America. The haphazard way the ring game has been conduct. ed in this country has been responsi- l ble for the things that have marred l the sport and frequently brought it l into dsrepute. A national standard l of weights and rules will be of in- 1 estimable benefit. It will pave the ] way for international standards. ] An agreement among the various 1 state boxing commissions and theHfor-
 mation of a national body is certafa
 to purify the game. The various 1 commissions probably will recognize the decisions of each other and box ! ers who simply have laughed when
 suspended in one state and gone along
 boxing in another, will be brought to
 a sudden halt. Every lover of the l manly art will rejoice in the initiative
 shown by the New Jersey Boxing
 commission and sincerely will hope
 the proposed national organization
 becomes g. reality. ..i

sented to this request with no little sense of satisfaction. Justice Green baum was asked today whether a hearing tomorrow morning will be sat lSfactOry to him. It was at the in stance of JohnsOn's lawyer, Stephen Baldwin, that the hearing was post poned until next Monday.
 The Yankees see in this request for an immediate hearing decided weak ening in the Johnson forces, and be- ieve no attempt will be made to hold the annual meeting of the league in Chicago if Justice Greenbaum grants the order restraining Johnson from holding such a session..
 Johnson's Call Made Public.
 The board of directors also made public the call for the league meeting in Chicago which Johnson sent out last Saturday. Departing, from the usual custom of calling the meeting at a hotel, JOhnson'S notice names the lea que offices at the Fisher building, Chi cago. Following the formal call John- sons proclamation reads as follows:
 "A notice sent out by Messrs. Com- iskey, Frazee and Ruppert indicates that their preference for the place of holding these meetings is New York city. The other five clubs have mani fested to me that their preference is Chicago. Two things have inclined me to call these meetings in Chicago. One is the fact that a majority of the club owners have indicated a prefer ence for Chicago, and the other is the annual meetings, With single exception, have always been held in this city. No business reasons are ap- parent for d departure from an estab- lished custom.
 The majority directors find much amusement in their call for meeting in New Yor1 being referred to as ''in- dicating a preference for holding the meeting in New York;
 To Meet at BiItmorc. The majority directors passed a resolution authorizing Ruppert to make, on behalf of the board, all nec- essary arrangements with the Hotel Biltmore for the holding of the annual meeting of the board of directors and of the American league at that hotel on December 1 0.
 Reporting on the work of the joint committee to recommend a new chair man for the National commission, Col. Ruppert the American league mem Der of the committee, reported that ] the work of this committee had 1 been deadlocked and that no further progress was possible through the ob-
