CAGE CLASSIC IN
 NATIONAL TOURNEY
Nations Finest Teams to Compete for Title In
 Atlanta
By CLIFF wHEATLEY

That the basketball championship tournament of the United States, scheduled to begin at the Atlanta Ath- letic Club on March TO- and to last through three furious days of heavy action. will be one of the most sue. cessful ever held in the country, is guaranteed in the large number of ac ceptances being received at headquar- ters of the arrangement committee at the Auburn avenue clubhouse.
 Cage game fans of the nation have sent word that they're coming" and to say that good basketball will be the principal menu for these devotees is not telling enough. Cham pionship organizations of the various sections have announced their intention of try Ing for the national honors and that every contest will be a struggle to the death is a foregone conclusion.
 With a national championship at stake, the fans have something in store that has never been recorded before. These games won't be the efforts of men inexperienced in the lore of bas- ketball. Practically every team will bring players to Atlanta, famous for their knowledge of the game; speedy

 Pre-series dope is useless in trying to arrive at possible winners. For the south, the Atlanta Athletic club looms as the best team to carry off the hon DTS for this section. In the east we find Rutgers, conquerors of the fastest cage teams in that part of the coun- try From the Pacific coast comes the Los Angeles Athletic Club, though west of the Rockies to be the best basketball aggregation in the United States. And so 1t goes all down the list. Every section of the country will be represented at the tourney.-At- lanta Constitution.

QUESTION IN N. '. IS SETTLED Boxing Commission to Se- lect Official for Big and
 Small Bouts

New York, February 27.-(Special)
 the referee question in New Jersey. The state boxing commission recently settled a dispute between the pro motors and Johnny Kilbanc. feather weight champion, regarding the third man. for his bout with Benny yalgar and as result the commission has taken upon itself the job of naming all referees in the future.
 For his scrap with valgar. Kilbane wanted Pop" O'Brien to referee. Val gar did not want O'Brien because he figured the Philadelphian to be too good a friend of Kilbane's. Then the referees in New Jersey set up a long and loud howl. The politicians took up the cry and then the state commis sion jumped in and took stand for home talent. Jim "Slim" Brennan of Jersey City, got the assignment and he got 1t with the admonition that un- less the feathers were forced to put up a good scrap his license as ref cree would be revoked.
 Ever since the New Jersey law went into effect the referee question has been a warm one. There was big fuss over the selection of a referee for the now historic meeting between Fred Fulton and Jack Dempsey. when Jack stopped Fred in jig time, and after week or more of ouibbling, Johnny Eckhardt, another Philadelphian, got the job.
 The commission in taking over the appointment of referees will be doing the game a favor because it was through just this issue that the sport has been dragged into politics on sew eral occasions. The commission will not only appoint the referee but will set the price for his services. All referees will be registered with the commission in the future, and novices who desire to break into the third man" game will be obliged to undergo rather severe examination, both writ ten and practical. New Jersey fans are rejoicing that Kilbane created the dis turbance. At one stage Kilbane ad vised promoters he,> would not appear unless O'Brien was named to referee, but when the commission advised him he would do as the commission said or lose the scrap, the Clevelander changed his mind and wired he was satisfied when Brennan was named.

Magec is ere of the finest. cleanest and cost intelligent fellows that ever walked uJon the Giamond. He is aggressive, alert and fearless. He has made enemies, and scme litter ones. But as an offset ke has cul'.N ated many war ! friend ships.
 Baseball has treated Magee kindly, and yet unlSindly. Since 1914 he has drawn down one of the best average salaries paid to any baseballer. over a sweep of like four seasons his baseball earnings ranked among the high sal aries of the game. But in the end Magee, with still three or four years of major league ability in his system, has been let out. And it looks as if henceforth his connections will be with minor leagues.
 BEGINS CAREER AT 17
 Born in Cincinnati in 1889, Magee began his baseball carea al the age of IT. He started as a third baseman for Meridian, in the Cotton States League. In 1907 he was with Springfield in the Three-Eye League, but finished out the season with Waterloo, Ia. His work with that club during 1908 earned him a job with Seattle in 1909. He was sold to Louisville in 1910 and served as 8 second baseman. Early in the season the St. Louis Cardinals pur chased his release for $50. In 1911 Ma gee was a substitute player; in 1912 he became a regular, officiating at second, short and in the outfield.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-02-28

Magee remained with the Cardinals un- til the end of the 1914 season. Then he went on the baseball tour of the world. Upon his return he was offered, job in the Federal League, accepted and became manager of the Brooklyn Feds His sal ary, under 6 three-year contract, was in the nelghborhood of $100O0. It was while with that club that Magee became a base ball sensation. He fielded in spectacular style and hit go
 SOLD FOR $12,500
 When peace came in the baseball world Masce was sold by Harry Sinclair to the Yankees for $22, soc Much was expected from him, But somehow or other Magee could not get started. Everything broke against him. So poor Was Magee s work In 1917 tbat he was released to the St. | cuis Browny in 8 trade for Marsans. Magee showed but little improvement there, was let out by that team in 1918 and joined the Cincinnati Reds. He ''came back nicely and was one of the best as- sets of the Rhineland Club. But he had a disagreement with Garry Hermann at the beginning of the 1919 campaign over salary and was traded to Brooklyn. Then he was shifted to the Cubs, where he finished out the 1919 season.
 Magees work with the Cubs was more than uniformly good, but the club officers decided they needed him no longer, and Magee, a reigning sensation only four seasons ago. has been labeled through.
