FISTIC MEN PUNISHED
FOR 'FOOLlNG' PUBLIC

NEW YORK, February 1s.-Because
the public was not notified until a
few hours before the bout last Friday
night between Pancho Villa and
George Marks that it would not be
a championship affair. because Marks
was four pounds overweight, the
management of Madison Square
Garden, where the bout was held, will
be unable to conduct boxing pro-
gram arranged for February o5.
This was the chief suspension of a
batch issued yesterday by the re-
organized state athletic commission.
The commission alleged, though Tex

Cenleu II. that the promoter had
tailed TO keep sufficiently in touch
with the lighters To know whether
the fight would involve title, as it
was billed to do. and that he had not

weight forfeit.
Rlckard asserted that two days be-
fore the fight an examination reveal
cd Marks only one pound overweight
and that when he learned the after

his handicap. was an innocent victim
of the commissions punishme mt, as
his manager, Frank Churchill, was
suspended for sixty days for refusing
TO take the $3.50 weight forfeit Of
Marks. Both Marks and his manager.
Charley. Cook. received sixty-day
suspensions.
The precedent for suspending a
club management was set some time
ago. but it was the first time that
the Garden, under Rickard, had run
afoul of the commission.

Babe Ruth has spent some years of

New Orleans are pralines, excellent

goes south to shake his fat and get

The field at New Orleans is likely
to be a little rough in the early part
Of the season. but il is fast and the
light is splendid. Batting is almost
always good. The field has been hung
with horseshoeS for the New York
Americans because they win there
about as often as they go and con-
tinue by winning championships when
they arrive home.
In the right field bleachers there is
an enthusiastic assemblage each aft
ernoon on which Ruth plays who
stand up when he comes to bat and
point knowingly at the right field
fence. daring him to hit it over. When
he does they cash their bets and when
he doesn't they do likewise.

fce practically all Of his claim to a
share of the gate receipts. Harry
Greb, for instance, had to do that to
win the middleweight championship
from Johnny Wilson. Mickey Walker
was in a similar fix when he defeated
Jack Britton.
Looking the field over. 1t seems
that Jack Dempsey is the only one
at whose title anybody can have a
shot. 1t takes a lot of money for
that. though.
Unless the champions show more
desire to defend their titles the box
ing game is sure to take a bad
slump. 1t may be that our method
of making money for the boxers has
spoiled them.
Everybody wants to see a cham
pion in the ring. They are willing
to look at Others but unless the big
gest men in a sport show themselves
often the interest is bound to dwin-
die. After all, 1t Is the opportunity
of seeing world championship
change hands that draws people into
the Garden or any other place.

down and think things out right.
Folks want amusement, and they've
got the money to pay for 1t. They
love fighting. Give them the right
kind of fights and they will pay high
for them"
OF course, the catch is that few
people can think things out right.
and sometimes it is impossible to
furnish the right kind OF fights. AT
my friends request I then wrote
down the following recipe. which l

IL. STANDS FIRMLY
AGAINST The DRAFT

NEW YORK. February 1.-THE In
ternational League adopted sched-
ule of playing dates for next season,
revised the constitution and defeated
efforts to restore a modified draft at
the third and final session of the an
nual schedule meeting in the Commo-
dore yesterday. This finished the
business before the meeting. and.
following adjournment. the magnates
scattered to their homes with signs
of relief over the termination OF
long and bitterly fought session.
Opposition to the restoration OF a
modified draft was SO powerful tina :
the question was not even brought
up fo- vote. An Informal canvass
OF the club owners showed that only
Toronto and Syracuse favored the
draft and. in the face Of the opposi-
tion OF a majority of the magnates,
the question was tabled for another
wear Jack Dunn and President John
Conway Toole led the fight against
the draft.
The International League next sea
son will be the only class IA organ
ization still holding out against the
draft The American Association and
Pacific Coast League voted to accept
a modified form of the vselective sys-
tenn at their meetings in Chicago last
December. AS result OF this action
these two leagues will get the cream
of the players sent out for seasoning
by the major this spring, and the
International League will again be
cut off from the player supply from
the big fellows. The National and
American have already placed many
OF their athletes with the American
AsSocia tion and Pacific Coast League.
The playing schedule adopted yes
terday was a compromise between the
rival drafts offered by Jack Dunn aHf
George StallingS. This question caused
more difficulty than any other matte"
before the inagnates. The differences
centered around the great number OF
double-headers on the Dunn schedule,
but the trouble was Smoothed over al
a conference OF these men with TooIe
The revised schedule calls for 16S
games, opening on April Is. day be-
fore the majors. and closing on Sep
tember IS. The opeIrng day will find
Rochester at Jersey City, Toronto a.
Newark. Buffalo at Baltimore and
Syracuse at Reading. The same clubs
viii be opponents when the northern
teams open their home seasons April
80. The new schedule lists twelve
double headers. all coming late in the
season. The club owners will be en-
powered to decide the holiday pro-
grams for themselves and to deter
mine whether the double-headers will
be played morning and afternoon or
Just in the afternoon.
Revisions in the constitution were
mainly technical. President Toole
said.
