BENTON DISPUTE MAY
MAKE MAJOR MEETING
A LIVELY GATHERING
Charley Herzog, the Ac-
cuser, Is One of Those
on Hand.

New York, Feb. 13.-The determin-
alton of August Hermann, Cincinnati
club president, to force a showdown
on the case of left-handed Rubc Ben
ton threatened to precipitate some
trouble among the National League
magnates at their annual meeting to-
day.
The Benton incident, club officials
already in the city admitted, prob
ably will make warm affair out Of
what ordinarily would have been
rather a tame meeting. Hermann
refused TO discuss his contemplated
action before the meeting opened.
Charles Herzog Of Baltimore also
is in the city for the meeting. His
quarrel with Benton, which originated
in the unsubstantiated charge of the
pitcher in 1920 that Herzog had
sought to bride him to throw" a
game, is said to be at the bottom of
the row.
The 1923 schedule is to be ratified,
and a number of constitutional amend
ments which were adopted at the
December joint meeting are to be
acted upon.

Had il not been for Carpenter

man could hardly impress anyone
even the humblest peasant WHO tends
his flOcks under the shadow of the
Apprentices, as a championship con
tender now.
But Sikh has gained about as much
prestige as Carpenter has lost. The
French boxing authorities put him
on the shelf for a while but he has
not been there long enough to catch
the dust Of public forgetfulness. So
when any one speaks of the European
situation, the first thing that comes
10 mind is Sikh and then Immediately
afterwards, Dempsey.
Must Meet McTigue First.
Sikh has got a hurdle in March, a
bout with Mike McTigue, who ha,
been knocking them cold in England
for about a year. The mixup will
take place in Dublin. The Senegalesc
will outweigh Mike nearly 30 pounds
but experts who have watched the ne
gro in action think that n pugiliSt Of
McTigue's stripe can afford to give
the wild man this much weight.
