CONFLICT MILLER
 RETICENT ON BOXING

Syracuse, N. Y, Nov: 5-Judge Miller was asked about what he thought of the Walker boxing law and he said he had been So busy with the campaign for the last few months that he had not even had time to study the law and therefore was not i na position to talk on the subject vet. He added: T don't think it will be advisable for me to comment upon the Walker boxing bill inasmuch as am not familiar with it. I have not had an opportunity to study it and naturally prefer to withhold comment until I have examined carefully the provi- sions."
 Those in touch with the Governor elect picture him as a friend of sports and they say that he will not inter fere with boxing while it is run in a clean manner. Not very long ago Judge Miller was a clever baseball player and every chance he gets now he takes in the big league games.
 The Governor-elect's six daughters are all keenly interested in athletics, the oldest ones being especially so in horseback piding, golf, tennis and swim ming.

By JACK VEICK.

New York, Nov. 5-The Dempsey Carpentier fight will be staged In New York city, according to well authei,ti- cated reports in fistic circles here. me promoters apparently have realized at last that New York offers the only spot where the battle would give promise ofb cling a financial success.
 Big as Jack Dempsey IS. Georges Carpenter compares pretty favorably with the champion In size.
 When the rival battlers met with their managers and the promoters at a recent conference here Jack and Georges could look almost straight into Dempsey's eyes. There was a difference of height, and that small ! one, that marked the contrast between them; and Dempsey's dark complex ion and burly build from the waist up { also contrasted strongly with Georges blond complexion and more slender build.
 Dempsey smiled like a big, friendly boy as he stood there with Georges. He didn't give 0 hint of the demon he can be fin the ring. and after sizing Carpentier up he remarked:
 "You are plenty big enough. I can't see any great difference. When we get In there we'll fight as hard as we can. Outside the ring we can be friends"
 Georges smiled that sunny smile of hls and come right back with:
 'Veree good, Veree SOOu' III LlIc ring we do our best to ween. Outside It Is different, We can be friends"
 And they shook hands,
 Both fighters are in pretty good shape right now. Dempsey has been training aboard the Granite State, 0 naval training vessel anchored near Ninety-sixth street. in the Hudson river, He boxes there with Bill Tate and Sergeant Ray Smith nearly every day and he does a lot of road work In Central Park.
 He is plump around the jowls. Is Jack, but that's all, His wa1stllne IS just what Is should be and he is as hard as nails, His clear eyes and ,healthy complexion indicate that he has been taking fine care of himself, and when he gets into the ring With Carpentier he will be as good as he ever was, if not better, for he has only attained his full growth and IS somewhat morem ature now than he was when he met Willard,

President Dan O'Nei1 of the East ern League, left Hartford yesterday afternoon for Kansas City where. on November g, the minor league base ball moguls from all over the country will gather in what will undouotedly nrove the most important meeting they have ever held.

NAME CoLLEGE BoY JUSTICE.

New. york, Nov. 5.-For the first time in the history of Princeton a elected a Justice of the Peace of the borough. Yesterdays ballots resulted in the. naming of James McCauley Landis, a senior, to the office. There was no thought of the undergrad uate's candidacy until two days ago, when several fellow students and some townspeople began to push him for the office. His name had to be writ ter in the personal choice column, which, no doubt, lost many votes. His earnestness and non-partisanship won the day.
 Landis war born in Tokio, Japan, the son of an A nj erican missionary, and is one of the seniors to hold a, Phi Beta Kappa key.

Differences that have existed be- tween the Browns owners and James T. Burke, manager, came to critis last summer in a dispute between Burke and Bert Gallia, pitcher. Burke accused Gallia of not doing his best, and the latter then entered a com plaint higher up.

Never theless, for the amount of pepper which he was able to instill into his team- Burke was highly popular with fhe fans.
