New York, Feb. 12.-Oi has given racing and the thoroughbred-bre

Cosden of Baltim ore and Montford Jones of Houston, all have in the last fifteen or twenty years acquired their fortunes in oil
 production in Texas, Louisiana, Okla

 interested now in oil in other states
 There seems to be no limit to the oil

BAKER LIKELY
 ID JOIN TANKS
 LATER IN YEAR

Easton, Pa., Feb. 12-According to reports that reached here yesterday, there is a possibility that Frank (Home- -Run) Baker may wear a Yankee uniform this season. The representatives of the Yankees were unable to get in close touch with Baker on account of his family being sick and he is in quarantine. It is said on good authority that the Yan- kee owners asked Baker to recon slider his determination to retire and that the famous infielder has about made up his mind to don the spangles another season. If he does there Is little probability that he will leave his home in Trappe, Md, until the middle of March.

New York, Feb. 12-The racing dates for 1920 for the Eastern tracks, including those in Maryland and the metropolitan circuit, were awarded yesterday at a meeting of the Stewards of the Jockey Club in this city. The metropolitan season will consist of IA racing days, three more than last season. It will begin with the meeting at Jamaica on May 15 and close at Empire City on Oct. 30.
 Except for the additional three days, the season will be practically the same as last year. The announce

 that the racing season would be open ed May 1. Although it is possible un-
 der the law to have racing. here ear
 Her than the prevailing date, The
 Jockey Club has never made any eff
 fort to fill in the additional time and
 the added three days for the coming
 season merely serve to fill out the meeting so as to bring the opening: on desirable days. There is an open date in the metro, politan season this year, the date coming between the closing at Sara, toga and the opening of the Autumn ! meeting at Belmont park. Of the

 Conduct Only During War

New York, Feb. 12-The special committee of the Army, Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing Control which has undertaken the task of In quiring into the war record of Jack Dempsey, worlds heavyweight cham pion, will conffne its investigation and deliberations to the title holders ac- tivities during the period America was engaged in the world war. This policy was definitely adopted last night at the organization meeting of the committee, of which Albert L. EfariIIey, counsel to the board, is chairman The committee also decid- ed to admit representatives of the press to further meetings. The ini-
 fal or sprelfminary meeting, at last nights session was officially termed, was held privately.

Kid Lavigne Fought Great Battle With
 Myer in Old Days

Kid Lavigne knocked out Eddie Myer in the 22nd round at Dana, H., on this date in 1903. Lavigne, the future lightweight champion, was then a novice, but he had never been de- feated. Eddie Myer was a brother of Billy Myer, the famous "Streator Cyclone who had been whipped by Jack McAu1iffe in a battle for the lightweight title at New Orleans the previous year. The Lavigne-Myer contest was pulled off in the middle of the night, and was staged in the town hall. A big mob of sports were on hand from Streator to back Eddie, and many of the wagers were record ed, the Sucker state money being promptly covered by the Michigan admirers of Lavigne.
 Eddie wasn't the easy mark that the Lavigne following expected, and for a score of innings he held his own. If Eddie hadn't injured his hand in the fourth round, he might have lasted indefinitely. but the pain soon began to tell on him, and in the 22nd round Lavigne put over wal Top to Myers dome of thought that stretched him out. Myer tried hard to get up, but he couldn't make it in time. Eddie is st,11 living, and he declares that his head still aches from the effects of Lav1gne's knockout punch

BRONKIE GETS
 TWO OFFERS TO
 PLAY THIS YEAR


 Hartford, Feb. 12.-Herman Bron- kie. who has given up professional baseball to tend to his tobacco plan tatton in Manchester, is a much sought-after ball player these days. Since the announcement of his re- tirement from active baseball play ing, Dan Howley, manager of the local Eastern League club, has made an offer to him to play third base for the Senators and 1t became known yesterday that Arthur M. Johnson, graduate manager of athletics at Trinity. college, would favor Bronkie as coach of the Trinity baseball team during the coming season.

0UITdET WON'T
 BE CAPTAIN OF
 MASS. GOLFERS

New York, Feb. 12.-Francis Oui- met has decided definitely that he will not be captain of the Massa- chusetts State team this year and has suggested that the captaincy might better be an honorary position, to be turned over to a man well acquaint- ed with the capabilities of the golf CTS. Ouimet had the misfortune last fall to be unable to accompany the team to the National links for the Lesley Cup matches. The duty of se- lecting a captain will be attended to shortly by Bart Stephenson, the Massachusetts Golf association presi- dent.
 The Bay State organization is also interested in the movement toward daylight saving. At the annual meet ing it was announced that petitions would be sent out to all the member clubs seeking their individual as well as united support in the move ment. These petitions have been de- layed because of a new move to have the Massachusetts legislature pass a bill calling for saving for a period of seven months instead of five

GOSSIP OF BIC LEAGUES PICKED
 UP AT CHICAGO

Chicago, Feb. 12.-As in the De- cember meetings in New York, these were plenty of trade winds blowing, but most of them were hot air. Man agers were buzzing around in all cor ners, but that's all they dtd-buzz. Stoneham hasn't got his inf1elder yet, and Higgins and Bobby are still looking for their new outfie1ders.
 There was a reunion here of old Cubs - Eyers, Tinker and Mordecai Brown. Joe McGinnity, who. almost got into a fight with Chance in the famous Giant-Cub play-off game of 1908, famed with the former hated Chicago Roger Bresnahan, 1908 Giant catcher, also took part.
 McGfnnity came to Chicago to try to get protection for an industrial league in the Northwest. Iron Man Joe wants it fixed so that the minors can't take his players It is said that the minors don't look with particular favor on the idea, as the industrial and shipyard leagues have been re- cruited from minor league players.
 Johnny Evers has been offered $6,- 900 to manage the Rock Island club of the Three-I League, the biggesi salary ever offered a Class B leagu manager. Johnny is considering it, but doesn't like the idea of throwing his lot with the minors if he can pick up something better in the big cir cults.
 Big Bill James finally has been waived out of. the American League The White Sox shipped him to Min neapolis along with Robertson, a young pitcher. James had played with Cleveland, St. Louis, Detroit and Bos- ton before Chicago picked him up on waivers late last season. He pitched some good ball for the White Sox but his miserable failure in the last game of the 1919 Worlds Series cost i him his job. >

JOHNNY COULON
 TO BOX LED0UX
 IN FRANCE SOON

lon left his happy home in Chicago yesterday and will go to Paris to fight Char--y Ledoux, bantam cham pion of Europe, on March 8. Cou1on will sail from this port next Satur- day. Coulon announces that if he defeats Ledoux he will remain in France until Jimmy Wilde returns to England. Coulon was accompanied by his uncle, Fred CouIon.
 Ledoux is the chap who knocked out Jim Driscou a few months ago. Driscoll still is one of the cleverest boxers in the world, but his age beat him. Ledoux took a great trouncins g for fifteen rounds and then knocked out Driscoll. Coulons uncle does not seem to be well informed as to Le- douxs ability or he might cancel the bout

Woodruff May Be Head Of Commission Five Candidates In Race for Hermann Job But Chicago Newspaperman Has Best Chance-G Gentlemens
 Agreement With Minors

Chicago, Feb. 12.---Se1ection of a chairman of the National Baseball Commission to succeed August Herr mann, of Cincinnati, rested today with Presidents John Heydler of the Ma uona1 League and B. B. Johnson. of the American League and attention of the various league representatives here turned to efforts to effect a re- sumption of relations between major and minor organizations. Virtually all other business of the five leagues American, National, Three I, Western and American Association---which held annual meetings here, was com lpleted yesterday.
 Five men from whom a new ma tional commission chairman might be chosen were recommended to a joint session of the American National League by a joint nominating com
 mittee and their names were passed
 on to the two league executives. They were Federal Judge Kensaw Eoun- tain Landis and Harvey T. Woodruff sports editor of the Chicago Tribune and William Edwards, J. Conway
 Too1e and State Senator J. B. Walker, i the last three of New York
 Hermann announced he favored l Woodruff saying a newspaper man was especially acceptable. A high l baseball official said selection of Judge Landis was improbable.
 ] Two attempts were made yesterday | to hold a joint meeting of major and
 minor leagues heads. At the meeting called for today it was hoped to bring about a resumption of the relations 1 broken off three years ago. It was i iintimated from an authoritative source that the outcome would be a l 'gentlemen's agreement and that re-
 lations would be resumed without a ] written understanding.

Charley White Going
 Abroad For Fights

Charley White, the Chicago light Welght' IS planning to take a trip to Lonoon and Paris Left hook Char ley has been operating lately on +ba Pacific Coast. It will be interes+ine, to see what the English critics will think of White and his style. Char ley is not exactly their idea of what a boxer should be- He doas oo+ dance in and out with straight Iefts like the English boxers do, but waits and counters. While English referees may not award him many points, White still carries a tremen- dous thump in his left mftt, and if he happens to land it on some of Eng lands best, points will not cut much figure in the result
