Yankees Ask More
 Time in Their Suit
 Against Ban Johnson

New York, Feb. 10-Before Justice yesterday Charles H. Futile, attorney for the New York American League club, applied for an extension of time Feb. , to March 15 to return the testimony of the commission which was appointed to take oral testimony of three officials of the Cleveland Baseball club. The testimony dealc with the possible connection of PreSl- dent B. E. Johnson of the American League with the Cleveland club and is part of the fight being waged against Cleveland club officials to be examined are President James c. Dunn, busi- ness manager E. S. Barnard, and Sec retary Walter McNichols.
 By consent the hearing of the ar- gument was set down for Wednesday morning next. On Jan. 30 Justice Vernon M. Davis granted an order di- rertinS that oral testimony be taken before Justice of the Peace Basil F. Johnson of Cleveland. The order di- rected the return of the testimony not later than Feb. 15. In his application for the extension of time Attorney Futile said because of the distance of Cleveland from New Yrk and the fact that the justice did not sign the order
 promptly on it's presentation to him t has been physically impossible to complete the eXaminatin and have the testimony ready for presentation tc the court on the date specified

Cline's gtaling Tactics Make Main Event Fizzle Cheer When It Is Announced That New
 Yorker Won't Be Paid

catcalls and all kinds of noises. Dave motioned Timekeeper O'Conner who rang the bell number of time. It was at this moment that Fitzgerald made his speech.
 Fitzgerald was right in doing so as he had repeatedly warned Cline about his stalling and holding. Bogash showed that he has learned quite a lot of new tricks since he fought in our town last. Louis did the best he could and the bout was his by long margin.
 @ After the second round the fans began singing and whistling which continued until the bout was stopped. It was announced that Cline would not receive a cent because of his fail ure to give his best services.
 The Mickey Travers-Sapper Cohen was the real bout of the evening. This fight really saved the day for Dapper Dan Hatfield. Travers received the decision after ten gruelling rounds Cohen was the happiest man in the world when he heard the bell at the end of the tenth round. Sapper is now the possess Or of the most beauti- fuI black eye ever seen in these parts.
 Both boys started with a bang. The boys put up such a good fight in the first round that they were roundly applauded when the bell rang. This round was very fast. both boys using left jabs to good advantage. In the fourth round Sapper's eye was com pletely closed. Mickey could only use his left hand but he certainly made a good job of it. Cohen showed his gameness when he stood his ground under Travers' terrific left hand smaShes. When Fitzgerald raised Travers' hand the Italian was given a great ovation. Cohen was also given a good hand.
 The Teddy Fabryck-Y Young Angelo bout was a grAt fzzle. Although Teddy landed a few hard punches he was no match for the speedy Angelo. Angelo played rings around the hero of the 18th, hitting him at will Teddy was fat and was a real set-up for Young Angelo. The referee stopped the uneven fight in the third round.

WINS NEW YORK POOL
 TITLE EASILY

New York, Feb. 10 - Edward F. Reynolds won the New York State pocket billiard championship of the National Association of Amateur Bill Hard Players at the National Recrea- tion Academy in Brooklyn last night. Meeting John J. Ma1oney in the play off match, Reynolds won by a score of 100 to S7. It was one of the most decisive trimmings administered dur ing the tournament, and the one-sided score can be accounted for in great measure by Maloney's nervousness He was away out of stroke, and at no time during the match was he able to get going.
 These two players finished the regu- larly scheduled games of the tourna- ment. Incidentally, it was Reynolds who had administered Maloney's pre- vious defeat, in the final game of the schedule last Friday night. It was then agreed to play off the tie last night. Until these two setbacks, Ma loney had shown excellent form. He had demonstrated a mastery of pocket billiards that many were prone to believe would be sufficient to carry him to the coveted title. Reynolds, conceded to be strong player at all times, had been beaten before meet ing Maloney, and the manner of his defeat caused his admirers to doubt whether he would be able to catch the fast playing Ma1oney.

May Ask Dempsey To Visit New York To Testify Before Army Boxing Board
 Regarding Charge 0f SIaCkerism

New York, Feb. 10-Jack Demp- sey, worlds heavyweight boxing champion, will probably be requested personally to attend the hearing of the Army, Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing Control Committee, which will tomorrow begin an investigation into the titleholder's war record It was declared yesterday by an official in close touch with the situation that DempSey's presence was considered absolutely necessary that the matter might be thoroughly investigated
 The initial meeting of the commit tee of nine selected to hear the cham pion's reasons for abstaining from military or naval service will be a closed affair, at which the commit tee will coordinate it's plans for sub- sequent activities in the matter. II will be officially determined at this meeting whether Dempsey attend ance in person shall be demanded in preference to having the champion submit afddavits detailing his side Ct the case.
 Dempsey just now is engaged on a moving picture venture, and a trip to this city for the purpose of pre- senting himself before the commit tee would necessarily mean an inter- ruption to his screen career. In his wire to the board, however, in which he requested a hearing on the oppo sition his lack of service has engeE- dered, Dempsey agreed to appear per- sonally or submit affidavits. The officials at tomorrow's meeting will also decide whether to have futurl meetings open or closed.
 Members of the committee select ed to review the situation include Alfred L. Maril1ey, counsel to the Army, Navy and Civilian Board oi Boxing Control, who has been ap- pointed chairman; Major Anthony J DrexeI Riddle, president of the Boarc of Boxing Control; Gutzon Borglum Dr. Joseph B. Raycroft, who durfns the war was chairman of the Wal Departments Commission on Train ing Camp Activities; Robert Edgren Roswell F. Easton, R. Breckenridgt Steele, Adam Empfe and John $ Smith, chairman of the New Jerse! State Boxing Commission.

 JOHNNY DUNDEE
 IN 9TH MEETING

New York, Feb 10-Several thous- and fight fans saw Benny Leonard, Hgh weight champion of the world, eGtpoint Johnny Dundee in an eight round bout at the Fourth Regiment Armory in Jersey City last night IL was their eighth meeting and as on previous occasions Leonard proved his superiority as a boxer.
 Leonard used every punch at his command, but could not send his op- ponent to the floor.
 When Leonard was about to win with a knockout, Dundee would rally and give as good as was sent The latter had his admirers stan1- ing on the chairs with his game ral, lies
 Leonard seemed to be bothered with his left glove He kept pluck ing att it with his teeth throughout the fight, and it developed after the bout that he had injured his left thumb
 Dundee started like a whirlwind, and in the first three rounds nao something on the champion Leonard seemed to be waiting his chance to nail Johnny with a single punch Dundees wild swinging and landed several solid blows to the jaw. Though his aim was true, Johnny re- fesed to be foored- They wers fighting furiously at the last bell.

XII BANE FEARS
 HE CAN'T STOP : BENNY VALGER

New York, Feb. 10.-Jimmy Dunn. ex-manager of Johnny KiIbane, worlds featherweight champion, is exceedingly dubious of the titlehold- CTS ability to cope with Benny Val ger, whom he meets in the ring Of the Newark Sportsmen's Club next Monday night. Dunn has not actual ly expressed his fears publicly, but his actions plainly indicate them. Moreover, because of them, Kilbane is receiving $1,500 less for the match than he could have obtained. He is getting @ flat guarantee of SS,50O. The club would have given him $10,- 900. Here's the story:
 Joe Jacobs, manager of Valger, who has long been pestering the champion for a match for his boy, some time ago commissioned the Newark club to offer Kilbane a guar antee of $10,000. Jacobs proposed to underwrite the match, take a cer- tain percentage of the gate receipts, and run the risk of the percentage the big guarantee and leave a profit for himself.
 Manager Dave Mackay wired the offer to Jimmy Dunn several times, but never received even the courtesy of a reply to them. The club then discontinued it's corresp and later Dunn and Kilbane parted.
 Having found it impossible to do business with Kilbane by wire, Harry Blaufuss, secretary of the Newark Sportsmen's Club, made a trip to Cleveland to personally negotiate with the champion. He was prepared to offer Ki1bane s10,000 for the match. As a 'tfeeler'' he first offered sS,500. Greatly to his surprise, Xiii bane accepted it at once without fur ther parlay. After the articles were signed Blaufuss asked Kilbane why ! he did not reply to the clubs pre- vious offers, not mentioning, how ever, the amount of the offer.
 'Who did you address them to? inquired KiIbane.
 "Why your manager, Jimmy Dunn, of course,'' answered BIaufuss. That's strange said KiIbane. CT did not hear anything about them.
 Jimmy never mentioned the offers to me.'
 Later Blaufuss learned from a cer- 1 tain individual in Cleveland who 1 holds the confidence of both Kilbane 1 and Dunn, that the manager ignored the overtures of the Newark Club, as 1 he believed Valger to be too formid- 1 able an opponent for the champion.
 It is an open secret in Cleveland thai Dunn is none too sanguine of Xiii 1 bane's ability to hold the title much i longer.

Pratt, Yank Second
 Baseman, Claims Hot
 Springs Helps Player

New York, Feb. 10.-Derrill Pratt, of the Yankees, who was in town the other day to see Col. Huston, is a be- liever in the merits of a few weeks at Hot Springs to prepare ball play CT for the long playing season. Pratt thinks that when a player gets to be around thirty years of age a few weeks of boiling out do him a world of good.
 John J. McGraw, of the Giants, also holds to this theory. In fact, that is the reason that he put up with the many inconvenience of Marlin Springs, Texas, for so many years.
 In fact, McGraw thinks so well of the Marlin baths that he would like to take the Giants back there for two weeks each spring and then jump to San Antonio or New Or leans to finish the training. In an other year he will probably put this scheme into effect
 Miller Higgins, the manager of the Yankees, however, is said to be op- posed to the boiling out programme. In fact, it is reported that Huggins's suspected aversion to Hot Springs is the only thing that may prevent Co.'s. Huston and Ruppert from sending Pratt and the older Yankees there for a couple of weeks this month.

Bob FitZsimnOns and Jim Hall Had Fake
 Fight 30 Years Ago

It was 30 years ago today that old Bob Fftzsimmons, whose son is now stepping into the Hmelight of the ring, fought his famous fake with Jim Hall in Sydney, Australia. AL though novice at the fight game, Bob had the best of the first three rounds but in the fourth Hall knockeh him out. Hall followed F1tz to Amer ica, and when Jim began boasting of his victory over the freckled fellow, Bob retaliated by confessing that the whole affair was a. barney. Fitz de- clared that he could have whipped Hall at any stage of the game, but that he had agreed to lose for s75, and lived up to his agreement If Fitz faked, he was certainly a good actor,
 for he deceived all the fight experts
 at the ringside. There is no doubt, however, that Bob was there when it came to acting---in the ring---for he often pretended to be groggy and all in, and his deception was so thor ough that his opponents were com
 pIetely fooled, and left openings which Bob was not slow to take advantage
 of. Hall, who died a few years ago, always declared that the Sydney fight
 was on the square, and that he had
 knocked F'itz to dreamland.

CONNECTICUT IS HOLDING UP BIC
 GOLF SCHEDULE

New York, Feb. 10-Until the Connecticut State Golf Association decides whether it is going to hold this years championship tournament over the Greenwich or Brooklawn links there will be no selection of dates made by the Women's Metro politan Golf Asso sociation. That at least is about how the situation looks at present.
 At their annual meeting held re- gently the golfers agreed upon the course of the Greenwich Country Club as the venue for this years championship. That matter was easy enough to decide, but when the off, cials of the w. NJ. G. A. came to look over the schedule they found that unless they selected the third week in June they would run into a con- f1ict of dates with the New Jersey State and Westchester County asso- citation, which have settled on the first week in June, or the Mems Metropolitan Golf Association, which is to take the second week of that month.
 While ovc<laps and conflicts such as these are Unavoidable in a busy season the women are anxious to dd their part toward keeping the sched- ule from getting into a tangle so far the title events are concerned at least. Should the Nutmeg State golfers go to Brooklawn this would open up the way for the women play ing their tourney at Greenwich tho third week in June, but if, on the other hand, Greenwich should be the Connecticut linksmen's selection there will be nothing for the women
 
 event during the days that the Vest chester and New Jersey champion ships are being decided, and this for the very simple reason that the third week of June already has been book ed by Connecticut.

Chicago, Feb. 10.---Whatever hope National League magnates may have entertained of an early, arnicable set clement of differences which threaten to disrupt the rival American circuit, and perhaps the entire structure of organized baseball, was soon dissi- pated in the early skirnnishings here yesterday. The revolutionary faction, represented, in the East by Colonels Ruppert and Huston and Harry H. F'razee, established headquarters at the Hotel Blackstone, and though they mingled with National Leaguers early in the afternoon, made no advances whatever to Ban Johnson or his "loyaP' five.
 The loyaIists, on their part, made no overtures to the revolutionists. It is known, however, that the Big Three are going into the American League meeting today loaded for b'ar''
 Messrs. Comiskey, Ruppert, Huston and Frazee held a war powwow all afternoon at Coniskey Park. They would not disclose nor even hint at their plans, but made it very clear they did not intend tamely to submit to such tfsteam-roIler'' tactics as they alIege Johnson and his supporters at tempted in New York last December. It is known also that these revolu- tionary three clubs: are prepared to join forces with the majority of the National League club owners in the joint meeting of Wednesday to force President Johnson to accept the resig- nation of August Hermann, chair man of the National Commission. Colonel Ruppert, of the committed appointed to select MT. Hermann s
 successor, declared he stood really to sponsor any man of ability and repu- tation who might be suggested fol
 the chairmanship as acceptable to the
 majority of National League clut owners.
 ! The board of directors of the I American League, at a special meet | ing in President Johnson's offices thi! afternoon voted to abolish all freal | deliveries at once. The emery ball i the spitball, the shineball, the knuckl' | ball and their ilk have been prac l tically plotted right out of the pie [ ture.
