 eHdeclared an international bank CTS conference should be called inn mediately and manufacturers and commercial men of all nations be in- vlted to send representatives. He said such a conference should pro- vide measures for standardizing cur rency and for the elimination of ex- change fluctuations which would re- suit in the restoration of confidence.

GEORGE BURNS IS NO H0LDOUT
 GIANTS CLAIM

New York, Feb. 13.---while admit ting that George Burns, the star out fielder of the Giants, had not vet signed contract, to play for the club curing the coming season, Joseph D. OBr1en, secretary of the club. .-yes- terday hastened to deny a report that Burns was a holdout. He said that Burns had assured him he would sign lie declared there was no difficulty over money matters, but admitted that there were some minor details Which required final adjustment
 Just what these minor details are is matter for conjecture. Burns, to- gether with all the other players on the Giants roster, was given an auto maLlc increase in salary this season because of the return to the longer playing schedule. When it was re- ported that the outfielder was a hold out 1t was naturally assumed that he was not satisfied with the salary off, fered him by the club.

Leach Cross Just 3A
 Years Old Today

Dr. Louis C. Wa1lach, doctor of dental surgery, was born in New York thirty-four years ago today. Dr. WaIlach was for many years well and favorab1y known to the fight fans of North America as Leach Cross, the most distinguished of the several scrappy members of the WaI1ach clan. Leach began fighting profes- siona1ly in 1908, and, as his first en- gagement was before club compos- ed principally of Irishmen, he did not consider it desirable, not perhaps healthfu1, to use his real Jewish monaker. On the spur of the mo- ment he adopted the name of Leach Cross. and three of his brothers, who are or have been fighters, have also adopted the name of Cross.
 Marty Cross is now the only mem Der of the family engaged in the Diff business. Leach was one of the gamest, squarest 1ightweights the ring has had in the last decade. He never took part in a suspicious con- test, and the fans always knew that Leach could be depended on to give the best that was in him. Leach made a small fortune out of the sport, and he earned it by the hard knocks he took
