ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. "a veteran
combination comes here today to play
the Navy basketball team when tn"
stevens Institute team takes the
floor in Dahlgren Hall. Stevens has
been beaten once in two~years. and
that was recently when the Delaware

As Delaware defeated the Navy by
a lop-sided score early in the season
IL Is almost foregone conclusion
that Stevens will prove a better team
today. Hope is held out, however,
by the fact that the Navy lads played
Princeton to 20 to IS score We'd

COMMISSION WILL
GATHER THURSDAY
Ban Johnson Is Known to Want
Garry Hermann to Remain
At Its Head.

At the request OF President John A.
Heydler. of the National League. the
annual meeting of the National Com
mission scheduled for Cincinnati on
Monday has been postponed until
Thursday, January g.. Mr.. Heydler
says that the only reason for the post
ponement Is that he has has some
business to finish before going West
After the meeting of the commission, n,
Presidents Heydler and Johnson will
get to work on the schedules for next
season and a tentative draft of the
games will be drawn up so that Il
can be placed in the hands of the Joint
schedule committee as soon as pos
sible.
There has been much speculation
about the coming meeting of the COM
mission because of the attitude OF
the attitude of Chairman August
Hermann. Mr.. Hermann announced
to the National League club owners
last month that he would voluntarily
retire from the craftsmanship in thirty
days. As that thirty days will expire
on the day the commission meets in
Cincinnati, II is possible that Mr..
Hermann will abide by the wishes OF
his fellow club owners and refuse to
serve again.
However, President johnson. of the
American League, is known to be
strongly in favor of retaining Mr..
Hermann as chairman, and II is be-
lieved that he will prevail upon Herr
mann to take the office again. II
johnson should vote for Hermann
and Heydler should refuse to vote
for him again. the election Of chair
man would result in a deadlock, and
Hermann would continue to serve as
a hOldOyer official.
Johnson has never been in sympathy
with the National Leagues effort to
oust Hermann from the commission
Since the commission was established
in 1908 Johnson and Hermann have
served continuously, and the Amer
lean League head argues that, after
his long and faithful service, ii is not
advisable to depose the chairman.
However, Hermann himself has ad-
mitted to his fellow club owners that
neutral official would be advisable
for the welfare Of the game, so the
National League club owners expect
that next week Hermann will an
nounce that he will not serve on the
commission any longer. It is believed
by those who are in close touch with
Johnson, however, that his influence
with Hermann is stronger than the
influence of the National League club
owners, and that Herman will not
retire as he has promised.

hasn't much to say about the fact
that Dempsey stopped Fulton In Jig

No Legitimate Excuse.
.To my mind there Is no legitimate
excuse that Dempsey can give for
refusing to meet Fulton. He mas
said that before he fights Carpenter
he will engage In few bouts with
such men as public opinion may
point to as logical contenders Tor
the title. But his manager Jack
Kearns now stipulates that the pub
iic must pick other men than Full
ton. He has said that he can see no
reason for giving Fulton another
chance with Dempsey as the former
accomplished nothing in England

Fulton beat every man that entered
the ring with him in England IN jig
time. He also offered to meet Beck
