IBANTAMWEIGHTS ID l BATTLE AT GARDEN
Joe Lynch and Midget Smith to
 Mix It Up Tonight

New York, Dec. 22.--The much dis. cussed Joe Lynch Midget Smith l6. round bout for the worlds bantam- weight championship will be held ir Madison Square Garden tonight There has been some doubt in boxing circles about Smiths ability to make the required weight of HIS pounds but the Harlem boxer pulled n sur prise yesterday by hopping on the scales and tipping the beam at the necessary notch. This is the first time that he has made the bantamweight
 limit, but he declared yesterday that he had had no difficulty In getting down to weight and that he felt on edge for tonight's contest.
 T am sorry have never made the weight before," he said, flor I have never felt more fit. This is an oppor- tunlty of a lifetime for me and I am going in there to finish the job as quickly as possible. Santa Claus haf been mighty good to me in the past week and hope he continues the good work in my behalf"
 Smith evidently had reference to the lifting of his suspension at the hands of the New Jersey boxing com mission in order that he might full flll his contract for the Lynch bout The lifting of the suspension was not an unmixed blessing for the Harlem battler,. however, as he underwent [ severe lacing at the hands of Irish Johnny Curtin in order to meet the demands of the New York and New Jersey boxing boards. Previous te Curtin contest the Garden offciaii announced that Smiths chance tc meet Lynch depended on his abilits to dispose of. Curtin. While he failed of this objective, Midget did give Cur tin lively tussle and Rickard recon sidered his first decision and decided to let the match go through as orig inally scheduled

|FRISCH SAVE HE IS l NOT DISSATISFIED
Giants Second Baseman Declares
 Club Has Treated Him Fairly

New York, Dec. 22.--Frank Frisch, the Fordham Flash, is all perturbed over the linking of his name with the the presidency. With his usual speed Frankie telephoned the Giants off, flee yesterday and tried In vain to set in touch with John McGraw, who was away for the day. In McGraw's ab- sence the Flash poured his tale of woe into the ear of Secretary Jim Tierney, the tale consisting of the fol- lowing statements: That Frank does not like the idea of his name being mentioned in connection with an of- flee in the union; that people may judge from that that he Is dissatis- fled with the way the Giants have treated him; that Frankie Is not dis satisfied and merely joined the union to stick with the other players. never dreaming that they would nominate him for president.
 However. 1t seems that Frisch's fenrs are groundless, for he now has a second rival for the leading office, be- sides which the balloting is said to be going heavily in favor of George Burns of the Cincinnati Reds. who was one of the two original nominees. The new candidate is Jacques Four nier of the Cardinals, and, although the outlying precincts are not yet in, it looks as if Frisch will run second to Burns, who is favored because of his longer term of service in the ma jor leagues.
 Fournier's name as presidential nominee appears on a revised list which came to light yesterday Here is the way the ticket lines up now: President, Frank Frisch, George Burns and Jacques Fournier; vice. president, Jake Daubert Cincinnati; Arthur Fletcher, Philadelphia Na- tionals, and Zack Wheat, Brooklyn; financial secretary, Billy Southworth, Boston Braves; Dave Bancroft, Giants, and Jimmy Johnson, Brooklyn: re- cording secretary, Cy Williams, Phil adelphia Nationals William Doak and John Lavan, St. Louis Cardinals
 On the board of directors each club but Chicago and Pittsburg will be rep resented by one player. The absence of those two clubs bears out the re- cent statement of President Heydier of the National league that the organ izers of the union met with little suc- cess among the Cub and Pirate play CTS. The fact that no player will rep resent either team is taken to mean that no members were obtained from those sources.
 The American league, of course. is, entirely unrepresented. Despite Ray Cannon's assertion that ninety players have been recruited from that circuit, no trace of them can be found. Every one of the ninety seems to be in hid- ing. The failure of Cannon and his associates to work among the Ameri- can leaguers is the most I11ystifying feature of the players movement. Either they intend to ignore the Johnson league entirely or else they plan to round up the National league faithful first and then start a drive in the junior circuit.
