CADETS MAY HAVE CREW
Authorities Have Matter of Resump'
 tion of Sport Under Consideration

New York, Dec. 15.-(By the As sociated Press) Eight cared racing shells manned by West Point cadets may be seen on the Hudson within a few years.
 Although Army athletic authorities declinedstoda to confirm the report and limited their statements to the positive assertion that the military academy would not be represented in rowing next year, it is highly probable that this branch of aquatic competi- tion will have a recognized place on the Army athletic schedules.
 With broad reaches on the Hud- son sweeping past the point, rowing has been under consideration for years. The appearance of the naval academy eight in the winning role at Poughkeepsie last June and the likely return of the sailors as championship defenders next spring, have given in centive to the proposal.

TURNS DOWN OFFER
Benny Leonard, Through Manager Billy Gibson. Declines to Accept Tex Richards Terms for Bout.

New York, Dec. 15.-Benny Leon ard, worlds lightweight champion, will. not consent to defend his title at the recognized lightweight limit for Tex Rickard in Madison Square Gar den, regardless of the inducements the Garden promoter holds out to the title-holder. This flat statement was made yesterday by Billy Gibson, man ager of Leonard, in reply to the publt- cation of Richards latest offer to Leonard for a lightweight champion ship bout against a rival of recog- niZed ability.
 Manager Gibsons response to the latest Rickard offer follows:
 Tn answer to stories published in various papers stating Tex Rickard has offered Benny Leonard 50 per cent of the gross receipts to defend his championship in Madison Square Garden, l wish to state that Leonard will defend his title at the stipulated lightweight limit, 135 pounds at p. m, for any pomoter or organization in the United States, but not for Tex Rickard. Benny Leonard's name seems to be used extensively every time Mr. Rickard has lightweight contest in the Garden. The winner is always to be matched with Leon- ard for the title. To make myself not sign Leonard to box any one even if he were willing to give the cham pion all the receipts"

FRICTION EXISTS
 IN AM. LEAGUE
Johnson Still at Odds With
 ComiSkey, Ruppert, ct al.

New York, Dec, 15.--The civil wal of the American league is not over The row which started with the ac. quisitlon of Carl Mays by the Yankees in 1919 hasn't died down so far as Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri- can league, is concerned.
 That year q board of directors composed of Charles A. Comiskey Jacob Ruppert, Harry H. Frazee and Frank NaVin, blocked him in his and he apparently has registered a solemn VOW that never again shall ComiskeY, Ruppert" and Frazee exer- else majority power in the board.
 Tn 1920 there was d Johnson ma jority in the board. Col. Ruppert was offered a place but declined it because Messrs. Comlskey and Frazce were left off. Yesterday, when every one expected that the best of feeling would prevail, MT. Johnson caused surprise by appointing Messrs. Navin Ball and Griffith, his strong sup porters, to three places and offered lne lOuTll to tOl' huppeft.
 Again Col. Ruppert declined and in his place Thomas Shibe of Philadel- pha was named.
 The thing which is causing much comment among the western men in the American league is why James H. Dunn of Cleveland didn't get place on the board. It was his turn, they say but the rumor is that Dunn hasn't been on speaking terms with Johnson since the American league president decided two protests made by Iris Speaker, in hot games with the Yankees during the season against the Cleveland team
 When Johnson and Dunn meet on the street now the latter says John son ducks" into barber shops and seed stores to avoid meeting him.
 The insurgents" Messrs. Ruppert, Huston, Frazee and Comiskey, are not viewing with alarm" the clash in the ranks of their foes. They be- ieve the time will come when they will be able to win not only Mir Dunn, but other of the Johnsosn 'orces to their side.

 The advisory council, however has the authority under the rules that govern everything in the national game to amend the national agree meet as the occasions arise from time to time. Judge Landis' attitude and the injured looks of the magnates when they spoke of high prices for minor stars were taken to mean that they would use all their powers to bring the "recalcitrant" minors to terms.
