WILLARD TO BE BARRED
 FROM FIGHTING IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec 22-Unless there is q change in the personnel of the Sta+e Athletic Commission with incoming of the new State Administration. Johnny Kilbane, Cleveland veteran whose worlds teatherweight title was declared vacated by the commission, will not be permitted to box in this state. Chairman Muldoon made this statement yesterday on behalf of the commission.
 Another statement made by Chairman Muldoon was that Jess Willard who ant who formerly held the worlds heavy weight title, will under no circumstances $ be permitted to box under the jurisdic- tion of the present commission. The az limit, under the rules of the Boxing Board, will keep Willard ineligible for. license here,\ it was explained. The fact that Willard has not been active In an ath etic sense the memorable occo- sIon at Maumee Bay in 1919 further mil itates against him
 Muldoon's explanation of the status of the two boxers followed -e1nrts that Xiii bane had, been matched ainst Eugene Criqui, French boxer who holds the Eu- ropean featherweight title and that Will lard might engage in bout with Demp- sey. KIbane, Muldoon said, had already had a reasonable chance to regain his good standing with the loca' commission, but he permitted the opportunity to pass unnoticed. - -.
 In the same category Muldoon placed Johnny Wilson, inactive Boston box H whose worlds middleweight title was de- clared forfeited for reasons similar to those which resulted in the action in tho case of Kilbane.

JOHNSON TELLS BASEBALL WRITER'S
 THAT COBB'S STANDING WILL STAY

Chicago, Dec. 23-(By the A. r.)- President Johnson. of the American lea EcS In a letter tonight to President F. C. Lieb, of the New York Baseball Writers association, in which he assert ed baseball official scorers ''in many cases arc grossly lacking in efficiency and re- sponSibility," advised the baseball writers association tput their own house in or dA- before sending me scurrilous and questionable complants' on the Ty Cobb hit controversy.
 The New York chapter of the Baseball Writers association recently forwarded to President Johnson protest against the latteT's action in discarding the box gcore os the official scorer in Detroit Yankee game, at New York last May. In substituting The Associated Press box score of the game Ty Cobb gained one more hit making his 1922 batting aver age .IS1.
 President IOhnsOzfs letter follows in part:
 ''Your letter of recent date. enclosing clipping from some paper of rcsoiu- tions passed by the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers association. was received knew nothing of the contro- VsrSy over Ty Cobb's batting average un- til 1t was called to my attention in the public press.
 Ar. Irwin Howe Is the official statfs- tician of the American league. When the Cobb incident occurred, requested re- port and the official score of the game ot May IS. MT. Howe had previously made a careful investigation of all facts surrounding the scoring of that day.
 'The official sheet was not signed. and was plainly in error in one other parti- cular that tended to make valueless tAr' pitching records. The Associated Pres score of the game of May IS was accept cd and with my endorsement. You SCOT ed the game for the Associated Press that day and credited Cobb with hit. Are we to believe that you reversed your judgment at this late date
 This office has no direct dealings with the official scorers. They are ap- pointed by the cubs in the various cities and experience has plainly shown that in many cases they are grossly lacking in efficiency and responsibility.
 Extending through period of sev- eraI years, this office has had much diff ficulty in securing the official scores, and h some instances none was received af- ter much telegraphlng and correspond enca"

 To replace this team and give the basketball fans Of this section a fast game the management of the Battery B team has secured Higgins All-Stars.
 Scotty Higgins, for eleven years cap tain of Willimantic, will be seen in action against the local team. Scotty is a fa- vorite with the basketball fans where ever he appears on the floor and is as clean player as anyone would want to watch perform. He is a wonderful shot ana 2 fine team worker and the success of the Emeralds was due largely to his coaching and team work
 He will have the Emerald flash. Leo Normandin playing forward position and 1t is worth the price of admission alone to watch this blond haired lad on the chaIked courts.
 Bill Reddy, Conn. Mills team star, is booked to play the other forward posi- ton.
 Blu has recently been appointed eoacr of the Southbridge Optical team whict shows his worth as basketball per. former.
 Higgins did not divulge the name: of his other players but the fans maJ rest assured that he will bring some snappy players.
 The Battery B five will probably line up as follows: Belair If, Davis and Jin Murphy If. Mills c. Jack and Deny Mur phy guards.
 There teams ought to furnish enouR1 fireworks to please the most ardent bas ketball fan.
 Remember at the State Armory ChriStmas afternoon.
