NEW YORK, Dec. With the ma for league magnates gathering for the legislative end of the baseball business in this city Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the principal interest centers on the long awaited showdown between Commissioner Kenesaw M. I.andis and Ban Johnson. The current question in the minds of many is: "is baseball big enough to hold them both?"
 It hardly is plausible to predict that Johnson will be forced out of office, but there is very likely possibility he will be warned to cease his personal con- troversies with the magnates. From advance indications, it would seem that the American league head will play a solitaire, while the magnates flock to Landies like bees to honeycomb. From an authoritative source, it is reported that Johnson's own circuit is preparing to pass a resolution indorsing Landis and his policies. The only probable outstanding vote will be that of Phil Ball, owner of the St. Louis Browns, and he possibly may make the action unanimous.
 Johnson Under Fire
 This resolution, if adopted would mark the first time since the appointment of tandis, that the American league has indorsed in writing the man Johnson has so consistently opposed. The scandal involving Dolan and O'Connell will form the basis for I the outbreak. Johnson undoubtedly will be asked to back up his charges against the Giants and to affirm or withdraw his criticism of Landis' handling of the case.

LIGHT LEAVES
 READY FOR BOUT
Tom Gibbons Reigns Big FavOrite Over Kid
 Norfolk

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Tommy Gib- bons and Kid Norfolk, with their train- ing finished, has nothing further to do but sit back and await the gong which will bring them together Tues day night in Madison Square Garden. Both profess to be in the best of con- dition.
 Gibbons reigns as 21h -to-1 favorite over his opponent despite the yaunted prowess of the Baltimore black, who on several recent occasions had proved his ability to stand his ground. Whatever his status as a fighter, he at least is regarded as so troublesome a customer by Harry Wills and other aspirants to Jack Dempsey's title that they have become proficient in the art of side stepping.
 Little To Lose
 For this reason Norfolk has little to lose either way. Gibbons, on the other hand, by a quick decision or a spectacular display at least can ex- ploit the outcome to his advantage. He held off Dempsey for 15 rounds at Shelby a couple of years back, and is trying to work up to the point where his clamors for another bout can be heard.
 In point of measurements both fight CTS are about equal. Gibbons who stands at six feet has 31a-inch ad- vantage in height but Norfolk has a four-inch greater arm reach. Their measurements in all other respects prac- tically correspond.
 Despite the efforts of the promoters to ballyhoo the fight as a match be- tween the country's leading light heavy weights, the sale of tickets has been slow.

Georgia Peach Introduced
 Heads-Up Baseball Playing g
Once Cobb Heard Hal Chase Boast, And Crossed
 Star First Sacker Up

ner had always been satisfied to ad- vance one base.
 At that time Hal Chase, greatest of first basemen, was with New York ana George Moritary, now an umpire, was playing third. Cobb reached first and Claude Rossman bunted a sacrifice. Cobb, who had taken a big lead on the litched ball, touched the inside corner of second and raced to third, the first time anyone had pulled a play like that.
 Cobb Hears Boast
 After the game Cobb was in the club- house. Next to the Detroit locker rooms were those of the visiting club. A locked door was between the two rooms, but above the door was a transon and it was open. Through this opening Cobb heard the voice of Griffith on the other side, bawIing out Chase and Moriarty for letting that crazy nut of Cobb" show them up by going from first to third on a sacrifice.
 "Never mind, we'll get this simp to- morrow if he tries any of his nut tricks on us again, won't we, Morrie?' said Chase. And Moriarty agreed that they would.
 Cobb thought the matter over that night and the next afternoon, before the game, he called Rosman aside.
 Will you bunt every time l get to first?"
 Sure, if you want me to-"
 "All right then, bunt every time"
 Cobb twice reached first base in that game and each time Rossman, coming up to the plate next, bunted. Each time Cobb streaked from first to third on the out. Each time, Chase and Moriarty, both set for just that play, failed to get him. Chase made a good throw, but the ball got to Moratity just fraction too late to enable h.ri to make the play. When Cobb pulled the play q second time in that game and got away with it, Moriarty, taking two steps toward the pitcher, threw the ball on the ground and reached down to get it on the rebound But before his hand touched the ball there came a roar of human voices. Moriarty turned and caught a picture of a human cyclone, headed for the plate. He hurriedly tried to grab the ball. He did manage to get it and throw, but his throw pierced cloud of dust at the home plate, for Cobb had beaten the ball by several feet.
 Walking into clubhouse after that game, Manager Griffith glared at Moriarty and then he glared at Chase. whose locker was several feet further on. That is all he did-glared Neither spoke word.

AMERICANS WIN
 FROM BRITONS
Cruikshank And Farrell Beat Duncan-Mitchell
 Duo, 3 And 2

TAMPA, Fla, Dec. 7.-Great Britain went down in defeat 8 and here today when Bobby Cruikshank and Johnny Farrell routed George Duncan and Abe Mitchell, who are tourning the United States, in 36-hole match.
 The British stars lost their game on the putting greens. Neither Duncan nor Mitchell could benefit by beauti- full long game when they neared the cup. The butts repeatedly refused to drop for them.
 Duncan got some small satisfaction out of his own game by tieing the course record held by Henry Bolesta, pro at the Palmacia club, where the match was played, with a 6S in the afternoon round, five under his morn ing play and two under the two 7Os which Cruickshank registered.
 The invaders outdrove the Americans on practically every hole, Mitchell in particular placing himself in a position good enough for a win on several holes. His drives averaged fully 25O yards, many of them touching close to 300 yards. On the fifteenth and sixteenth holes Mitchell's drive and approach put him about four feet from the cup. His butts were missed, both holes being halved as result and the game ended on the sixteenth green.
 Americans Lead
 The morning round ended with the Americans 3 up. In the afternoon the fourth and eighth holes went to the Americans while Ducan and Mitchell squared things by taking the fifth and seventh, Mitchell winning the fifth with birdie three and his countryman the seventh also with a birdie three.
 Cruickshank and Farrel played con sistent games. Both missed butts but never missed quite as many as did Duncan and Mitchell. Cruckshank in particular had an accurate game up to the greens. At no time was he in real trouble other than a little long grass of foic
