HEYDLER OFF ON
LEAGUE BUSINESS
Says There Will Be No Elec-
ton of Chairman.

NEW YORK, Jan. John A. Hey
dler, president of the National league,
left yesterday for Chicago, where he
will hold a conference with leading
stockholders of the Chicago National
league club today.
Heydler then will attend the joint
schedule committee meeting of Nation
al and American leagues at French
Lick Springs, Ind, on Jan. 3. 4 and s..
On Jan. 6 Heydler will represent the
National league at the annual meeting
of the national commission in CinCin-

talk over internal affairs with the Off
GERS of the club before returning to
New York for the joint conference Of
the two major leagues on Jan. Is.
Heydler said in view of the attitude
of the National league in favor of a
"one-man'' national commission, there
is to be no reelection of a chairman
of the national commission at the Gin
cinnati meeting.

Levinsky Takes the Count.

Another accomplishment of Dempsey
during the year was the knockout of a
man who never had been handed the
sleeping potion. That was Battling Lee
whisky. The punch that ended that
bout went over in the third round at
Philadelphia. ,
Some Of the other champions who
were engaged as boxing instructors at
army or navy camps or who were in
the ranks, managed to get into a scrap
or two, but these bouts were of little
consequence. Benny Leonard and
Johnny Kilbane were army boxing in
structors, while Pete Herman was in
the navy.
1t will be noticed that Jimmy Wilde,
the wonderful little British flyweight,
has been accorded the honor of title
holder. There are no flyweights In
this country classy enough to ever toss
a glove at Wilde, and his performances
across the water have established him
as the British champion. Being British
champion makes him champion of the
world, for America and other countries
haven't a scrapper of merit in this di-
vision.

How still across the fold,

The mighty thunder rolled;
Where through our restless, shaken sleep
We heard the hig shells sing,

Can it he that at last the rod
Has brought its final lash?
Where no more out the bloody sod
A hayOnet shall flash?

The final charge is through,
With flames of war forever past
Where life and love are due?

We dreamed of long ago
Where with the ghoStly shadows blown
Beyond the last grim fight.
Soft arms once moro shall hold their own
Across the silent night?

One of the biggest events of the year
was the interallied tournament in Lon
don, in which the British boxers de-
feated the American team on points.
Some of the greatest American profess
sional boxers who were in the army or
navy competed, among them Harry
Greb, Eddie McGoorty. Pal Moore,
Richie Mitchell, Cal Delaney and others,
while the star of the Britishers was
Jimmy Wilde. The British won the
tournament because the army, navy
and air forces were combined, while the
tives fought as separate units. Amer
lea won something like Is of % bouts.
Wilde showed his class by meeting Ban
tamweight Pal Moore, a topnotcher,
and was only Slightly o%utpointed.
The future of boxing seems an as
sured success with the government
sanctioning the sport among soldiers
and sailors in wartime. Illinois and
other states may pass bills legalizing
the ring game.
