Yankees and Giants Owners Will Lock Horns at Chicago Meeting

 With the failure Of the joint sehed- ule committee Of the two major leagues 10 come to an agreement at the adjourned Atlantic City meeting, followers of the national game here are beginning to stuff their ears in ans tieipation of the booming that they club presidents meet in Chicago next month to adopt schedule.
 In previous years the two schedules were made up without much difficulty and the February meeting generally was regarded as ratification and tea sipping affair. But. not so this year. Pros and antis are reported organizing to settle the dispute injected into the winter flaming by the New York clubs.
 The other seven National league clubs are reported behind the Giants in their demand that games be sched- uled for them at home on sunday thls year that will conflict with the Sun day home games of the Yankees. The American leaguers are opposing this charging the Giant management with mcrcenariness" and asserting that two contests may jeopardize the Sunday game in the metropolis.
 To force the Yankees to accept con- ricting dates or forfeit the games so scheduled. the Giants also must gain the support of at least six American league clubs which Ed. Barrow. busi- ness manager of the Tanks says Is impossible as two units of the younger organization already have rendered their support to the Tanks. A two thirds vote of each league. voting separately Is required to adopt the schedules.

GLENDON IS THROUGH
Veteran Who Handled Navy oarsmcn for 2l Years. VIII Not Consider Any Oners.

Annapolis. Md. Jan. 9.--Richard A. Glendon. who for 2l years coached naval academy crews. developing in his last three years here crews un- equaled in the annals of college row. ing. has coached his last college crew. according to his statement yesterday. At least that is the way he feels about it now and he thinks that he is not likely to change his mind. offers were made to Glendon by several leading colleges and he had expected to accept one of them, but in each case he would have been called upon to try to develop crew to defeat his old charges.
 T just could not bear the idea" the veteran coach said. T have had too much to do with the old Severn and it means too much for me to bring Q crew to race against the people who are so closely associated with it in my mind"
 G!endon. ST.. is spending week here and is consulting with his son Richard A. Glendon. who succeeded him as naval academy rowing coach. He likes the material on hand and be- iieves the academy will have strong crew, in spite of the fact that all but one of the regulars of last year were lost by graduation.

WILLARD WANTS ID
 BATTLE DEMPSEY
Jess Tells New Workers He VIII
 Be Ready Next June

New York. Jan, s,-fby the Asso- eiated Pressl-Interest in heavyweight boxing affairs greater now than II has been for months will be divided for a few hours between Jess Willard, the ek.ehampion. whose bulky frame blew into town last night. and Floyd Jehn- son, the young westerner who meets Bill Brennan the tried and tired war horse in a IS round bout at Madison Square Garden Friday night
 Later in the week Willard and Brennan will share the limelight with kearns. manager of Jack Dempsey, whose advent from the Pacihc coast has been heralded for several days. Harry Wills. the negro aspirant 10 Dempsey'a tiara also may crowd in when he hears that Willard has drawn the color line and won't fight him.
 To Meet With Rickasd
 For the moment Willard and hss 26b pounds hold the stage. Accom- panied by his manager. Ray Archer. he arrived last night for conference Wednesday with Tex Rickard the pro- moter. who is now in the middle west. Willard announced that he can be down to 23S pounds and ready for Dempsey or anyone else by the first of June.
 He said he has lost 20 pounds since be began light training last July and that through only occasional exercise. He went from 200 to 23s to meet Dempsey when he lost his crown in July 1919 at Toledo he said, and so he is not worried.
 Says He Is Only 30
 What Willard is concerned over however is the obstacle that prevent ed Bob Fitzsimmons one of the old time heavyweight champions from re- turning to the ring after he, like Wil- lard had yearned for the smoke of battle. This is Willard's age or his al- legged age. He said last night that he is 36 though some of the record books for years have had birth rate down that makes him from 30 to 42. The state law prevents men over 3S boxing in New York, but Jess said he was unaware of that until informed last night by reporters.
 To Attend Garden Bouts
 Willard will attend the battle at Madison Square Garden Friday night which gives some foundation to the story that he will meet Johnson be- fore he tackles Dempsey, it at all. Brennan has served as the spring board for several heavyweight aspir- ants and served them well. and gener- ally to the satisfaction of those wno pay to see him do 1t.
