Caucus Delays Action

Progress of compromise negotiations
in the Senate have been halted until
after the Democratic caucus Thursday
when the minority Senators will elect
a permanent leader.
Senator Underwood, Of Alabama, who
is Senator Hitchcock rival for the
position, called at the White House to-
day and later declared he was assured
of election.
81 will be elected Thursday" said he.
II will then retain Senator Hitchcock
chairman of the Democratic members
of the Foreign Relations Committee
and l would have no thought of dis
placing him in the treaty fight
Senator Hitchcock's position of re-
fusing to agree to any compromise pro-
posal that does not have the sanction
of President Wilson has caused Sena-
tor Underwood's followers to believe
thot he has gained support Of several
Democratic Senators who want to have
the Senate act on the treaty with c'1t
regard to the President and then sub
nit the result to him for final action.
Underwood Stands for Action
Senator Underwood has taken the
position that the President should not
be consulted on every point of COM
promise, and that the Democrats should
make the best bargain they can to Sc
cure ratification in the hope that the
President will accept it.
The "middle ground" Republican

upon Senator Hitchcock. Nothing

crats agree upon definite program

at the polls apd take the views of the
people upon it and use what the people

would involve fourteen months delay
and there is a very earnest desire on
the part of the Senate, generally, /
think, to reach some decision now it

Il have said repeatedly on the floor
and in the newspapers, and / repre-
sented at the time, that If modification
could be proposed which would bring

IN hope that we may reach a point
where we can get the necessary sixty
four votes, but you must remember
that slxty-four votes are necessary.
That is the practical question. l had
some little experience in finding how
difficult it was to get forty-nine Sena-

and, of course, to secure sixty four

That is what is being done, and that
is the only way that we may be able
to reach an agreement and see if we
can find a common ground. l think
there is very eeneral desire to avoid
the delays which would necessarily en-
sue from ,remitting the whole question
TO the election in November. and l
can only repeat that those who form
ulated the reservations which were
adopted by the majority of the Senate
will be very glad indeed to consider
any modification proposed and then de-
eide what we can accept and what can
not be accepted, and try and reach a
common ground. Efforts are being
made in that direction on both sides
of the chamber to-day"

before the vote was taken on the treaty

at is very difficult matter to COM
pose the differences of the various
Senator's on reservations, although
eighty Senators want the treaty rati-

MAYOR NOT TO STOP BIG BOUT
 IN NEW HAVEN

New Haven. Jan. 8 - Mayor Fitz- Gerald, when asked yesterday if he would take any steps to prevent the holding of the Leonard-Dundee prize
 fight in this city on Jan. 16, said that he saw no reason for his interfering, but if any complaint was b, ought to him he would give 1t a hearing.
 Nobody has ever been turned away
 from my office who has a complaint to make" the mayor stated, land no one will be in this case. Chief Smith has been the city's police chief long enough to know what to do and be- neve the people have confidence in him and should have. I feel sure the chief will not allow any violation of | the state law on prizefghting, and if ! the Leonard-Dundee fight is against | the law I would not permit it to go on | myself. Personally, I have never seen | a prizef1ght, and don't know a great | deal about them"
 l When asked if he intended to at l tend this fight, his honor said. '1
 haven't any desire or intention ot | going to 1t.'

COCHRAN GOES WEST TO MEET
 DEMPSEY AGENT

New York, Jan. 3---Charles B. Coch- ran, the English promoter, who came Ito this country for the express pur- pose of securing Jack Dempsey to fight Georges Carpentier abroad, left -esterday for Chicago. Cochran said his trip to the Western city was to
 meet Jack Kearns, the manage- of
 Dempsey, and endeavor to sign arti-
 c1es calling for the international fight
 Kearns in said to be on his way from Los Angeles and will meet Cochran
 within a day or two Cochran still asserts he is the only promoter that holds a contract calling for Carpen- tiers appearance against Dempsey. A few days ago Nate Lewis, the well known fight manager, declared in London that Cochran's contract with
 Carpenter expired early this month
 This Cochran indignantly denied. A close friend of Cochran, however. claims to have seen the contract and | says it runs out the 18th of this month
 This would bear out the assertion of Lewis. If such is true then Cochran will be compelled to hustle to draw u final arrangements.

Brookes, Australian
 Tennis Star, Declares
 U. $. Excels England

Norman B. Brookes stated in a re- cent interview given after his return to Australia that tennis in the United States was booming and that the play was far superior to tennis in England. The superiority, he thought, was due to the public schools par ticipation in the game in the United States and he added that while in England he was successful in efforts to induce the English public school authorities to introduce the game into the public schools.
 The Australians superiority over the Americans in doubles he attribut- ed to a closer study of the game by the former and better tactics. But in singles the case was different, ow- ing to the large population of the United States from which to draw first class players. Speaking of the Davis Cup he thought that Australia would retain it in the coming matches with England beginning January 1 6 but ii so the Americans would send down one of their best teams in 1920 in or der to win it. Brookes said that he
 expected to play in the forthcoming Davis Cup matches provided he was in good health and good form.

New York, Jan. 1-The Yankees yesterday started to unload a lot of excess baseball talent to make way for the youngsters who are to be tried out on the Southern training trip. Last season Manager Higgins took back a number of players who had been with the club every Spring for the last few years. He has now come to the conclusion that even af- ter their prolonged minor league sea- sonfng these players are not yet ready for major league service.
 Dazzy Vance, the pitcher, was re- leased to Sacramento; Everett Bank ston, an outfielder, was sent to Dal- las; Curtis Walker, an outfie1der, was released to Augusta; Alex Ferguson, the promising pitcher. will spend next season under Wild Bill Donovan's wing in Jersey City; Cliff Markle, the pitcher, goes to Toledo; Lute Nelson, the finger who was with the club last season, will also go to Toledo under Roger Bresnahan. Toledo also gets Paul Carpenter, a pitcher, Roy | Sanders, the pitcher, has been claim | ed by the St. Louis Browns by the l waiver route.

 After the bout Saylor admitted his inability to do what countless hun dreds of other fighters have unsuc- cessfully attempted to do, defy Father Time.

Jack BrittOn To Box
 English Title Holder
Champion Receives Big Offer From London Promoter to Meet Winner of Ted Lewis Basham Fight---Jack
 Prefers to Have Bout In U. $.

New York, Jan. 3-Boxing enthu- siasts today had their attention di- verted temporarily from the proposed rpentier-Dempsey bout by reports that Jack Britton, welterweight cham pion of America, would meet the winner of the bout between Kid Lew is and Johnny Basham for the Eng fish title this month.
 English promoters have offered Britton $12,500 to box in London in March. Britton also is said to have received an offer of $20,000 from c. B. Cochrane, the English promoter now in this country, to box the win ner of the Lewis-Basham affair.
 Dan Morgan, manager of Britton, made this statement in answer to a cabIegram received here yesterday from Charles Harvey, the manager of Lewis, who also is acting as rep resentative for Barry, the London promoter. Harvey's cable to Mor- gan was:
 Promoter Barry offers f2,5 to Britton to box winner of Lewis-Ba- sham fight. Wants Britton to meet winner in March. Cable answer inn mediately. Charles J. Harvey Strand Palace Hotel, London, Eng. ' 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 Dempsey-Carpentiel match, has guaranteed Morgan s20,' 900, American money, and expenses for bout between Britton and Ba i sham. As the English pound now i
 worth less than $3.80, Cochrane's of fer tops Barry's considerably ant Morgan prefers to have the bout helG
 under Cochrane's auspices.
 | Morgan's reason for desiring tt have the Britton-Lewis bout talk place in America is that he thinks h. | can get more money for the bout il l America than he can in London Lewis, it will be remembered, re
 nounced his allegiance to the Kin, and became an American citizen. Il
 some quarters in England, Lewis i | unpopular because he refused t
 shoulder a gun in the world war fo
 his native country. Morgan is afrai'
 that the unpopularity may grow an
 seriously affect Lewis drawing powe | in England.
