uted to him that he gave "Stuffy'

"Stuffy is one of my best friends

against him as against anyone else"
Boland said today.
what / said or at least what
Intended to say was this:

give the batters a chance to boost
their batting averages. | did not say

ing batters were able to increase

day announced his refusal to go
through with championship bout
with Bushey Graham, of Utica, N. Y,

letic commissions sanction for post
ponement.
Rosenberg desired TO put off the

sion by the Illinois and New Jersey

to use the date for a bout between
Tod Morgan, junior lightweight cham
pion, and Phil McGraw of Detroit.
Morgan must make his class limit.

attic boxer also is obligated to fight

The team from the west side won q
close and hard fought battle after
two Vickery & Hill men We're re-

Basketball is the real sport In Au-

the fast brand of ball displayed has
aroused the fans to point where
they want and demand basketball.
The players mentioned in the list
above are capable of stepping out
with the best of them.
Pick your own winner. If Berry,
Gannetts' sensational scorer breaks
loose, it means lot of baskets and
the game will be tight one If the
Vickery & Hill team gets their high
ly touted passing game going, the
battle will also be a tough scrap.
Johnny Redman will handle the
whistle and assures, the crowd that
the game will be a clean one. This
is the only sporting attraction in the

be the last game until December 81,

DETROIT. SEEKS
| SHOWDOWN FROM
JUDGE K. M. lands

Detroit, Dec. 24--(P)-The reported
attitude of Commissioner Lands
whose failure to make q ruling in the
present baseball case was said to be
due to the opinion that none is need
ed inasmuch as the principals, Cobb,
Speaker, Leonard and Wood are all
out of organized baseball, is striking
no responsive chord among Detroit
baseball fans.
After an impromptu meeting OF
friends of Cobb here last night.
telegram was dispatched to the COM
missioner by Joseph Benjamin,
prominent merchant, criticizing his
failure to make known his views.
Reciting that lands has spent
weeks gathering evidence in connec-
ton with the alleged thrown game 70
1919 and that three days have now
passed since the statements were
given out, the message declared it
was time Lands told the public whe-
Their he thinks Cobb and Speaker in
nocent or guilty. The message con-
cludes:
"You conducted this investigation
and the public is entitled to know
your opinion. II you have sufficient
proof that Ty Cobb and iris Speak
en- are guilty of the charges. then
please let the world know. If you
are of the opinion that Leonard in a
spirit of revenge, sold out his former
leader by reading into letter ideas
that were not therein contained, then
in justice to the men who have given
their all to baseball, please tell the
baseball fans and the people of
America. Are these men guilty, or
do you believe them TO be innocent
of the charges?'

ard has given his heavyweight fistic
deck another shuttle, bringing to the
top Knute Hansen of Racine, Wis, and
Paul Berlenbach. former light heavy

tournament, will meet his Boston foe
early next year.

While Richard has been moving his
heavyweight pawns with one hand, he
has been lining up welterweight and
featherweight entries with the other
His next show on New Years night
