MULDOON RENAMED
N. Y. BOXING RULER

NEW YORK, January Choking
and wrestling circles were recovering
today from the shock of the reappoint-
ment by Gov. Smith of William Muidoon
of White Plains to the chairmanship
of the state athletic commission and
the resignation of William j. McCor-
mick from the chairmanship of the
state licensing commission, in which he
took over Muldoon's power.
The Governors action was gratifying
to many, who. like Senator James j.
Walker, sponsor of the boxing law,
have thought recently boxing lis shak-
ing at its foundations and needs a
Landis to save it, Others who COM
planned of Mudoons arbitrarinesS
when he held the reins were panied at
his return.
Nevertheless, it was almost univer-
sally agreed that Muldoon would
strengthen the sport, for while some OF
his orders were complained OF, his pur-
pose never was questioned
During the last eight months of his
tenure Mr. Mudoon was mainly a
figurehead. as the licensing commission
was appointed to supersede him.
Whether he will head both commissions s
or whether the licensing body will be
made subservient to him is a question
followers Of boxing are discussing.

GRIFf DENIES OFFER
OF BERTH TO BARRY

That the name of Jack Barry, former
member, with McInnis, Collins and
Baker, of Connie Mack's famous old
100000 infield. is on the list OF "possi-
bilities" for manager of the Washington
club today was admtter by Clark Grit

boss. the subject merely was broached to
Barry, for several years past coach of
the nine at Holy Cross Of which he Is a
graduate. Barry never has been in
Washington for conference, Griffith
added. no arrangement for one exists,
and no offer has been made to him.
"In fixing UP list Of possibilities

days ago. He told me he was uncer-
tain whether he was in a position to
entertain an offer if one were made.

since. Nothing definite yet has been
done about getting a manager

During 'the winter the pitching
rules were changed, and Eller, no
longer able to rub the ball on his
flannel knickerbookers, lost his
shine" From being one of the most
remarkable of pitchers he became a
loser.
One. evening he sat in his hotel in
, New York, the picture-and the
kpitcher-of misery: I cant make II
give up, but some day may be I'll go
after it to get back. My arm feels
all right, but the ball won't work
right"
Eller pitched his way around the
Blue Grass country in 1928. trying out
new wrinkles with which he hadn't
been familiar in his Cincinnati days.
-s He is booked to try again this
spring, and he is going back with
manager who will give him all the
dianapolis. He still has the speed.
If he can develop a little deception
Bush will be glad he gave him his
chance.
There's more to the story. When
Eller was pitching for the Mount
Sterling club in the Blue Grass
League he took in hand kid pitcher
named John Gross. Gross was a
likely pupil. He is reported to have
pitched three no-hit games in the
about him and signed him. Then they
decided to put him out for little
more training with Indianapolis.
So Eller and Gross, who were the
big factors in the success of the
Mount Sterling club in 1923, are to-
gether in 1924 and are going to try to
J burn up the American Association.
Should they prove winning pair it's
safe enough wager that they can't
keep out of major league ball in 1925.
There is many a clup that would like
to have old Hod back with his speed,
IL he has anything to go with it.

CHAPTER XIII.-Jack johnson

TVEN after the Gans-Nelson

- of ever getting into the game
as promoter. That, naturally, gave
me a lot Of publicity-unexpected
publicity. as l have explained-and,
to tell the truth. / was sort of
nagged into the game.
There had been much talk in the
newspapers about the rany offers
for the Jeffries- ohnson fight and
as to the location. All the pro-
moters, it seemed, were in a dead
lock.
Finally, an artist on a San Fran
cisco paper turned out cartoon
showing big jackass braying and
saying, ''Where is Tex Rickard:"
The intimation to me was plain. I
got tho idea that they thought me
sort Of an ASA fy-by might fellow.
1t sort Of nettled me. In fact, took
it as challenge. I think I can
safely say that but for that cartoon
I never would have gone into fight

go to Duluth. Mimi, to see Thomas
+. Cole, copper magnate, for whom
I had been buying properties in Ne
vada. He is a prominent man in
business affairs.
Tex" he said to me. why don't
you go after this Jenries-Johnson
was amazed at his interest. The
fact Of a man Of his standing sug-
gesting such a thing got me to think
ing.
On the way back I went to Minne-
apolis to meet Mr.. Piper. another
prominent business man. He asked
me the same question.
With these two suggestions on top
of that jackass cartoon l got my
neck bowed and started on the trail.

and started east without saying a
word to anybody.

1t occurred to me that the only
way to be sure Of a fight was to nail
one OF the fighters first. That would
be an ace in the hole. ! felt. of
course, that Jeffries had been tied
up In San Francisco by somebody
probably Sam Berger. his manager.
That later proved to be correct.
Anyway. I headed for Chica go.

pressed by tho evidence OF the
speeding UP OF development in this

yantages have resorted TO the ex-
tcnsive facilities now available. To
Maine readers the reading may have
suggested an inquiry whether our
State IL keeping step In this ad-
vancement in development. II so
what IL the answer?
II In reasonable to suppose that
quantity production In generating
electricity as we'll as In other lines
OF production is in some degree re-
lated to price; that II Maine had
facilities in readiness to produce
electricity in large quantities the
power could be sold at less rate than

mand.

dent Wyman OF the c. NJ. +. Co..

very clearly; his statement to the

Editorial Comment
BIackmailers Hold The Stage


There is crime, apparently. and
crime. Most crime that we Amer
leans are familiar with involves suf-
fering on somebody's part and not
infrequentiy n trip UP the river TO:
somebody else. But the English do
things differently. Take, for exam
pie. the blackmail case now bein.
tried in London while women faint
in the corridors aiding TO the court
room and small boys perch on trees
to Eet.ever so small a glimpse of the
proceedings.
The facts, as well as can be judged
at this distance, are these: \ gang
of blackmailers trapped an Indian
Ea jah and eXtorted a sum of money
from him, about S750,O00. The money
j., was then deposited in the name of
one of the gang, and other members
of the gang forged his signature to
check. defrauding him of his share
in the loot. He now sues the bank
to recover. and it is this pretty mess
that takes up the time of British
law court.
Certainly this is the most spectac-
ular piece of British melodrama since
