A few nights ago, when Cad dock wrestled Cyclone Burns in Bos- ton. Curley conferred with the cham pion and his manager, but Melady asked for S50.000. for bout in Madi son Square Garden. He insisted that Caddock was as good a drawing card either Carpenter or Dempsey and declared he would not agree to the match with Stecher for less money.
 On Friday morning Caddock. Me lady and Curley again conferred, this time in this city, and tho champion and his manager, after being offered $25, 900 for finish bout. declared they would consider the matter and give Curley definite answer no latter than Sunday. Last night Curley received the following telegram from Melady:
 "Caddock accepts your guarantee for match with Stecher on or about January 30, but I insist you must pos itively discontinue using Stechers s name as champion
 According to the agreement, the To- cal promoter guarantees a purse o1 S40,0O0 of which Caddock is to re- ceive S25,00O and Stecher $13,O 900. As one of the New Jersey boxing clubs already has arranged a good boxing card for January 30 Curley last night announced that he probably will stage the wrestling match in Madison Square Garden or in the Seventy-frst Regiment Armory a few days before that date or tho first week in Feb ruary.

Team, Apparently Weak at Opening of Season, Forces Machine Company to Play Iard-Stanlcy Works Win.

With Russell X Erwin's displaying it's best form of the season and the New Britain Machine company it's poorest, those teams played evenly Saturday night. A spurt by the Ma chine company in the last part of the game netted that team a two point lead and the game finished with a 1 1 to l2 score. The game was close throughout. Attempts at lengthy shots and inability to pass the ball was re- sponsible for the k. x k. teams loss. In the second game, the Stanley Works won easily from Hart x Hutchinson's, score 31 to IS. Lowell Pickup had a great night at center. landing six baskets and playing his usual speedy game on the floor. Ja- cobson and Harvey w oodford made up the scoring machinery for the losers in that game.

Z CHICAGO, June Logic is an ir-
resistible force when once Republican
national convention is assembled.
Logic picked Hughes in 1916 before it
was known whether he would resign from
the supreme court to become a candidate.
Logic will select the next Republican
nominee for the presidency and win re-
ject all aspirants except Charles Evans
Hughes, William Howard Taft, Herbert
Hoover, Leonard Wood, Governor Sproul
of PENNSYLVANIA and Governor LowdenI
of Illinois.
These six men are committed to the rati-
feation of the treaty of Versailles and
covenant Of the league of nations with
the Lodge reservations and are at the
same time in accord with the conserva-
tive and additionally vital principles of
Repubheanism. Senator Hiram johnson
doesn't come III that category on the
peace treaty and he is considered radical
on questions Of taxation and other mat
ters He will try to stampede the Repub-
lican convention but as witnessed in
s19R and again in 1916, the regular Repub-
slican national convention is stampede
proof.
Taking each of the six men mentioned
above and analyzing theiN respective
chances, the first ballots should disclose
a deadlock between Leonard Wood and
Governor Iowden. Prolongation Of the
balloting will mean the gradual elimina-
tion of both in favor of another set of
contenders. Herbert Hoover, former Jus
tice Hughes, and former President Taft
would profit BY the tendency to turn
