President Ban Johnson of American
 League Opposes Efforts to Dust Garry From National Commission.

New York. Jan. 3.-At the request of President John A. Heydler of the National league, the annual meeting of the National commission sched- uled for Cincinnati on Monday has been postponed until Thursday, Jan. 8. MT. HeNdler says that the only reason for the postponement is that he has some business to finish before going West. After the meeting of the commission, President Heydler and Johnson will get to work on the schedules for next season and a ten tatiVe draft of the games will be drawn up so that it can be placed in the hands of the joint schedule con- mittee as soon as possible.
 There has been much speculation about the coming meeting of the com mission because of the attitude of Chairman August Hermann. MT. Hermann announced to the National league club owners last month that he would voluntarily retire from the chairmanship in thirty days. As that thirty days will expire on the day the commission meets in Cincinnati, it is possible that MT. Hermann will abide by the wishes Of his fellow club own CTS and refuse to serve again.

FAVOR CHANGE IN
 HOME RUN RULE
Baseball Writers Association Will Discuss Plan at Annual Meeting

New York. Jan. Eff a recom- nlendation Of the scoring rules com mittee O. the Baseball Writers asso- citation is adopted by the joint rules committee of the major leagues when it meets in Chicago next month, a batsnlan will receive credit for a home run no matter whether the clout comes in the first inning or the ninth.
 AS the rules now stand, if play CT hits d ball out of the lot in the ninth inning and the hit sends in enough runs to win the game the Eatsman receives credit for only as many bases as he can get before the legal ending of the game. For in stance, if a man hits the ball over the fence in the ninth inning, the. score tied and three runners on the bases. the batsman would be credited only with q single. That seems to be nanifestly unfair.
 home run is the most spectacular individual play in baseball, and it seems no more than just that when player can hit such ;t drive and win d game he should get full credit for the feat.
 Babe Ruth of the Red Sox would have hit thirty-one home runs in- stead of twenty nine had such rule been in effect last season. Ruth's longest hit of the American league season was said to be a drive over the right field fence at Fenway park, Boston on which he got credits only for a double. A man was on second when the ball was hit, and as the. score had been tied the game ended when the base runner crossed the plate.
 Many Home Runs Lost.
 It is figured that between fifteen and twenty home runs are lost by big league players each season by the fact that they happen to park the ball in the ninth inning with the minors, semi-professional and alma teur ranks hundreds of players lose such home runs each year. It al ways takes half of the joy of win ming the game from a player when he stops to contemplate that his "victory' hit is scored only as a single or . double.
 Many practical big league men are heartily in favor of the suggestion. among them being Col. Huston of the Yankees, Clark Griffith. new president of the Washington club; Harry Fra zee of the Red SoX. whoN naturally wants abe Ruth to get all the home runs that may come to him; Connie Mack and others.
 Naturally the players are unani- mously in favor of such a suggestion, and the sooner it is put into the rec ords the happier they will be. If Ruth had his way the rule would be made retroactive, so as to include those two drives of last season when home runs were denied him.
 Sherry Magee, when he was with the Phillies, once won the game in the ninth inning with a drive into the bleachers, coming with the bases full and the score tied in the ninth. Tt ruined my whole evening"" said Sher- wood. when I thought that 1 only got single for that wallop."

BRITTON TO FIGHT
 AGAIN FOR TITLE
Former New Britain Boy to De-
 lend Championship in Spring

New York. Jan 3.-Jack Britton, we1terweight champion of America,
 will meet Johnny Basham. welter- | weight champion of England, for the worlds title in London next March if Basham beats Kid Lewis in their bout for the English title this month. If Lewis beats Basham he and Britton will clash in title match here next spring.
 Dan Morgan, manager of Brtton made this statement in answer to a cablegi am received here yesterday from Charles Harvey. the manager of Lewis, who is acting as representative for Barry, the London promoter. Har- vey's cable to Morgan was: '"Promoter Barry offers 2,500 pounds to Britton to box winner of Lewis Basham fight. Wants Britton to meet winner in March. Cable answer imme- diately. Charles J.. Harvey. Strand Palace hotel, oLndon, England"
 While Morgan is willing to take Britton to England to meet Basham the bout may not be staged under ! Barry's auspices. C. B. Cochrane, the noted English promoter, who is here angling for a sey-Carpentie match. has guaranteed Morgan S20.- 900. American money, and expenses, for a bout between Britton and Bash am. As the English pound now is worth less than S3.S0 Cochrane's offer tops Barry's considerably and Morgan prefers to have the bout held under COchrane's auspices.
 Prefers to Stage Bout in T.. S.
 Morgan'S reason for desiring to have the Brittan-Lewis bout take place in America is that he thinks he can get ,nCre money for the bout in America than he can in London. Lewis it will be rem embered. renOunced his allegi- ance to the king and became a Ameri- ca citizen. In some quarters in Eng lcnd lewis is unpopular i,ecause he refused to shoulder gun in the world war for his native country. Morgan is afraid that the unpopularity may grow and seriously affect Lewis draw ing power in England.
 If Lewis should win the English welterweight title from Basham, as I think he will,' said Morgan, "a bout between Britton and Lewis for the worlds title here would go big. know a twenty round. fifteen round or even a twelve round bout to a decision here would net the winner at least ESQ., 900.
 "I already have been guaranteed S25,00O win, lose or draw. for such a bout here, provided Lewis wins the British title from Basham. I couldn't turn that offer down for any such money as the English promoters have offered.
 "In my mind Lewis should prove an easy winner over Basham. The Bash am-Wells and the Lewis Wells bouts offer good criterion to go by. Basham was given a close decision over Matt Wells in a. bout over which opinion was divided. Lewis, the other hand, knocked Wells out in the four teetnh round after giving him a ter rife facing all of the way. II certain ly looks to me like a worlds welter- weight championship battle between Britton and Lewis here in America in the spring.
