Judge Landis Is Ready
 For Baseball Matters

Chicago Nov 24-RecoTdS of the old National Baseball Comm ission have been transferred from Cincin- nat to Chicago in preparation for the opening of offices here for Judge Landis as ruler of the major leagues. By a visit to Cincinnati last week Judge Landis familiarized himself with the workings of the old National Commission and soon is to begin con- sideration of baseball problems. One of the first important decisions ex- pected, according to reports, is the division of about S15,000 among members of the White Sox team which earned second place money in the 1920 race. Strong opposition has arisen in some quarters to the pro- posal to excclude from shares the seven former White Sox players un- der indictment for participation in throwing the 1919 worlds series.
 They played with the 1920 White Sox until the confessions of Eddie Cicotte and Joe Jackson which led to their definite suspension just be- fore the closing series of the season.
 The remaining members of the 1920 Sox team havev oted to split the sux into 16% shares, making about $500 apiece and excluding the seven suspended players This sett1em ent has been opposed on the ground that while indicted, the seven SoX have not been convicted. aud some of. them deny the charges of crookedness. Ar guments before Judge Landis as the supreme arbiter are expected to de- eide the settlement soon.

GRIDIRON TITLES
 STILL IN DOUBT
Princeton Had One of Great est Teams In East
 This Season

Two sectional football titles are still in abeyance as the season fades out.
 The title in the east, it is said. will go begging because of a triple tie for honors between Princeton, liar yard and the winner of the Pitt-Penn State game on Thanksgiving day. Yet there is a feeling among the critics that some team should be recognized.
 Princeton, according to censuses of opinion, wound up it's brilliant season as the strongest eleven this side of the Alleghenies- team that could have beaten Harvard or any other eastern eleven, Penn State included.
 There is a feeling, therefore, that if any team should be recognized it should be princeton. No one knows nor will they know, whether the Fig CTS. Penn State or Pitt is the strong est but sentiment in general is re- lected by Coach Bill Roper, of Prince. ton, who said: s,As t,4
 'I think that we could have beaten anybody on the day we beat Yale. I've seen Princeton teams. that reach ed their continuation two weeks be- fore the Yale game, but this year we 'culminated just right" t.s--- 7. .
 The outcome of the Pitt-Penn- State game Thanksgiving may have much or little to do with deciding the should be awarded. Should Pitt Ede- feat Penn State the Princeton ri gers could lay claim to the honor with few voices to say. nay, for Pitts tie game with Syracuse Snd hard battle with Penn would be arguments against her. whereas Princton's tie with Harvard is offset to a great ex- tent by a comparison.

Bogash Scores
 Third Knockout
Right Drive to Stomach Fin ishes Joe Mccarthy In
 Newark Semi-F1inal

Bridgeport followers of Louis Bogash, who went to Newark last night to see him in action against Joe Mccarthy of Orange, N. J., were loud in their praises of the local well ter who won the battle in the fifth round when Bogash knocked out his opponent by terrific right hand drive to the stomach.
 The bout happened to be the semi final because Joe Smith, manager of Bogash, was determined to square himself and Bogash with the Newark fans for disappointing them on previous occasion. It was hard bat tie all the time while it lasted and kept those in attendance in con- stant uproar. The Coliseum where the bout was staged was packed to the doors. Mccarthy proved to be a tough bird until he was forced to succumb to one of Bogash's hay makers.
 It was Bogash's third knockout in his last three fights and shows he is developing something with a kick in it just predict by Smith, his man. ager, several weeks ago.
