DECISION FROM
JIMMY SLATTERY
Buffalo Boxer Drops His
Light Heavy Crown to
Philly Slugger.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Tommy
/. Ioughran of Philadelphia is the
world s light heavyweight champion,
no strings attached.
All the punches Jimmy Slattery
of Buffalo had in his bag could not
;. knock off the crown adjusted on
kLoughran s head by the New York
State Athletic Commission.
In l5 rounds of furious battling
at Madison Square Garden last night
Loughran withstood Slattery's sem
sational assault in the early rounds
and fought on to win the referee 8
decision.
At the end there were many emf
rent boxing authorities who thought
Sattery had won.
However, Tom Donohue, president
, OF the National Boxing Association,
which picked Slattery as its champi-
on, was satisfied with the decision.
"The National PoXing Association
recognized Loughran as the l75
Iound champion as "A result Of his
victory over Slattcry, Donohuc
p said. "It was a great fight. Slat-
terry perhaps landed the most punch
IS, but Loughran carried thc most
steam
Slattcry weighed 165 IL against
Loughran' 173 IL. 1t was an un-
usually low weight for the Buffalo
10y.
slattery went great early in the
fight and many believe he would
have won the decision if the bout
Lad gone only 10 rounds.

bles for the United States Davis
cup team leaves the United States

problem.
Tilden announced he. and Hunter
would participate in the Wimbledon,

previous announcement in which he
said the American players should be

Julian S. Myrick, chairman of the

abroad said the committee was pre-
pared to carry on the campaign for
regaining the Davis cup without

are possibilities for the team, al
though they have not announced
their decision to compete.

Davis cup squad last year were
George Lott Jr., of Chicago; John
Hennessy of Indianapolis; John Van
Ryn of East Orange, N. j.; John
Doeg of Santa Monica, Cal, and
Lewis n. White of Austin, Texas.
Edward Chandler of California
and Wilmer Allison of Fort Worth,

TRADING SISLER
CHIEF SPORT AS
MAJORS CONFER
Ball Admits St. Louis Is
Ready to Swap Star For
Right Consideration.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dee. 13.-A trade
which would take George Sisler,
some seasons ago rated as about the
most useful ball player in the Am
erican League, away from the ST.
Louis Browns, was in the air today
as major league magnates, managers
and majorites settled down to the
second day of the annual meetings.
The National League opened its
meeting at the Waldorf Astoria,
with little except routine matters
to discuss. But it was an impend-
ing trade in the junior circuit, in
volving the star of Phil Ball's club,
which most intrigued the interest
of the baseball world.
Ball was reported ready to send
Sisler to the highest bidder and the
rumorcd trade for the erstwhile
most valuable player overshadowed
the formal affairs of the day.
President John Heydler's report
presented to the club owners of
the National League, dealt with
prosperity.
The league, said Heydler, had en-
joyed the presence of more cash Gus
toners than ever before during its
53 years of existence.
The steering committee, composed
Of Colonel Jake Rupert, Phil Ball
Phil Neeck, Barney Dreyfus and
others, had spent a five hour scs-
sion discovering the way to a peace
ful outcome of all the troubles of
organized baseball as far, at least
as the major leagues were concern
ed.
Two Leagues Friendly
Just what response the ma aior
leagues were to make to the chal
lcngc of the minors regarding the
draft rules remained undecided.
Between themselves, the two ma
jor circuits were friendly as ham
and eggs.
Meanwhile, Phil Ball, Connie
Mack, Billy Evans, the new bust
ness manager of the Indians; Com
iskey on behalf of the White SoX;
George Moriarity of the Detroit
Tigers and others of the American
League were going around and
around the old trading post-every
car cooked for a seasonable bargain
Evans was in the market for a
centerficlder. with a preference fol
Harry Rice of the Browns. Connie
Mack would not refuse an outfield
cr himself.
The Sisler trade however, was the
hottest piece of gossip. Ball let IT
be known that George was available
if the proper offer were forthcom
