COMMISSION TO DECIDE WHETHER WHITE LOSES COIN

NEW YORK, Feb. 1o.-The New York State Athletic association will decide whether Charley White, Chi cago lightweight, who was beaten decisively last night In Madison Square Garden by Rocky Kansas of Buffalo. must lose his s2,500 weight forfeit, claimed by Kansas, because his opponent entered the ring three quarters of & pound over the 1S5- pound limit.
 White late today filed a protest with the commission after the Buff falo boxers manager, Dan Rogers, refused to withdraw his claim.
 According to his manager, Ike Dor gan, White based his protest on the ground that Rogers made no com plaint at the time the boxers weighed in yesterday. waiting until 15 min utes later to do so. By this time White had eaten a bowl of broth and was unable to attempt further weight reduction before the time limit expired.
 He claimed that, If notified after leaving the scales, he could have worked off the extra 12 ounces.

 Unusual Grid Play
 The park was the home of the Twins" pennant winners in the late Alabama-Tennessee league. The park was the scene of Doc Cooks famous tragedy, when that ex-big leaguer, at the time performing with Lawrenceburg. Tenn. ripped his trousers in a slide into third base, and delayed the game 20 minutes while he had them mended.
 It was in the same park where the Florence football team pulled what was probably the most un- usual play in southern football. The fence was just behind the goal post, in the end zone. Dur ing a close battle with Albany High. the Florence quarter called for an on-side kick. He prompt ly punted the ball over the fence and then began merry scramble over the fence. after the pigskin.

 Work of raging the Y. M. c. A. baseball park, used for base ball and football games here for many years, has been started. Necessity for demolition of the grandstand resulted from the plans for construction of the Cooper-Wells knitting mill. just south of the street car barn.
 The park has been the scene of many historic contests, nota- bly among them being the defeat of the Birmingham Barons by the local Y. M. c. A. amateur team several years ago, when Roy Ellam explained the Barons.
 CarrolI's Long Hit
 It was in that game that Charlie Carroll, then utility man with the Barons, hit what was probably the longest blow ever seen here. He could have made as many home runs as he pleased on the hit, the ball never be- ing found.
 Carroll, however, was the indi- rect cause of the Barons losing the game. He had played prac- tically every other position on the team during the year, and was anxious to try his hand at twirling. His slants proved popular with the locals, and

OFFICIALS NOT ENTHUsIAsTIC

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Feb. 10.- Baseball officials here were not en- thusiastic in regard to the report that Jacksonville may be rendered q Lerth in the Sally league. The local club lost something near s10,000 as q member of the Florida state league last season and there is judgment of S2,400 standing against the ter rItory due the award of salary to Dominick J. Mullaney, manager of the club in 1921.
 Marcus Conant, president of last years club. and owner of the fran chise in the Florida State league stated today that he has no intention oi going into the 1923 season unless the judgment for Mullaney is re- considered.

y
 Pugilist kings considered to be in world crowns are: Jimmy Wilde of England, flyweight; Joe Lynch of New York, bantamweight; Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland, featherweight Johnny Wilson of Boston, middle weight, and Battling Siki of France and Senegal. light heavyweight.
 Favored to Stay at Top
 The other titleholders - Benny Leonard of New York, lightweight; Mickey walker of Elizabeth, N. J.. welterweight, and Jack Dempsey the top, but while the opposition in their respective ranks Is not consid- cred more than threatening, there is always the chance that any of them will receive 8 fatal tap on the chin.
 Chief interest promises to center upon Dempsey, who plans an active outdoor campaign after lapse of nearly two years since his memorable fight with Georges Carpentier. Sev- eral of his challengers may make 1t more than interesting for the cham pion, but the present prospect Is that he will successfully retain his lau- i. gels.
 wflde, who has been inactive for kome time. has been challenged for . title match by Pancho Villa, the ecrappy Filipino who took the Ameri- tan flyweight title away from Johnny Buff last year. Villa not only has i eaken the measure of the best Ameri- ; ban kyweights. but he has frequent r 'ty gone out of his class with decisive 2uooess.
 The Filipino is ambitious to dupn- pake Bufrs feat in holding both the Nywcight and bantamweight belts And has 2 following which would be { ready to back him strongly in a 6ftle bout with Joe Lynch. The lat ter faces two other formidable chal- Sengers in Carl Tremaine. the hard . hitting Clevelander. and Irish .ohnny Curtin of Jersey City. N. J.
 Kilbane to Meet Criqui
 Kflbane has agreed to stake his Reatherweight title against the Frenchman. Eugene Criqui. holder of the European championship, in a match at the Polo Grounds on Deco ration Day. Criqui, young and az gressive, will have much in his fa- vor against Kilbane, who has slowed up as a result of long period of inactivity.
 Wilson, another inactive champion will have difficulty in retaining his title if he accepts the challenges of several formidable 160-pound boxers including Tommy Loughran of Phila- delphia, Harry Gfeb of Pittsburg, who also holds the American light heavyweight title, and Bryan DOW ney of Cleveland. WilSon is not recognized in a number of states be- cause of his tactics in avoiding cham pionship matches.
 Siki's Contenders
 Experts believe either Greb, Gene Tunney or Tom Gibbons. the leading American light heavyweights, capa- ble of lifting the worlds title held by Battling Ski, who acquired 1t by knocking out Carpenter. The Senega1ese is still recognized In this country as the champion despite the ruling of French authorities depriy- ing him of the title because of all legged improper conduct. Reports have been current that he intends to seek several bouts in the United States during the summer.
 Benny Leonard faces several stron :; ccntcnders in the lightweight ranks Including Lew Tender of Philadel- phia. Sailor Freedman and Charley White both of Chicago. But the fact that he has previously conquered all three inclines critics to the opinion
