By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 22.--Ths New
York State Athletic Commission tomor-
row may consider the adVisability Of
suspending Gene Tunney, world heavy
weight champion.
The commission yesterday announced
receipt of a telegram from the champion
in which Tunney said he had signed
with Tex Rickard to defend his title
against the best available opponent as
soon as Rickard has arranged to sign
his selection and stage the contest"
The telegram, which was in reply TO
one from the commission, however.
failed to deal specifically with the
challenges now on file here. Of Tom
Heeney, Jack Sharkey and Johnny
Risko.
The commission, in its telegram 10
Tunney had informed the champion
that his six-month period of grace ex-
pired today and asked him what he was
going to do with the challenges.
Although the commission announced IL
would have nothing 10 say about the
situation until its regular meeting to-
morrow, il was learned unofEcially that
the boxing fathers considered Tunneys
reply evasive.
Unless something occurs in the mean
time to alter the situation. Tunney's

PITCHING TO DECIDE
FATE OF THE TEAM
Rhem and Farmhouse Crux
of ProbIem-CIub Is All
Set Elsewhere.
BY JOHN h. FOSTER.

AVON PARK. Fla. March 22.-The
st. Louis Cardinals seem TO be back
IN the running for the 1928 pennant
race in the National League and they
surely will be if their pitchers can only
pitch. There is the mystery of the St
Louis sphinx
The Cardinals would like to set Pete
Donohue. Cincinnati'S hold-out pitcher,
and they are willing 70 trade or buy,
Il they set Donoflue. he will make st.
Louis a sure pennant contender. Gin
ciIanati is unwilling 10 come to Dono-

and the management thinks he should
stand his Slice-but he won't.
AS the Cardinals pitching staff

Alexander Appears Fit.
Old Grover Cleveland Alexander says
he car pitch as well as he could in 1927,
or 1911. for that matter. and maybe he
can. There seems TO be no limit TO
that mans capacity for endurance.
There are also Ha!neS. Johnson, Rein

pitching staff. Haines may be a come
hack pitcher good enough to win q
pennant He is big enough. Sherdel

McLEOD-BARNETT TO PLAY
GOLF PAIR in BALTIMORE

Several OF the local clubs are realiz-
ing that Winter golf. while 1t has It's
drawbacks, is not at all an unpleasant
proposition. and have taken steps toward
draining soggy fairways and green's TO
make cold weather golf more enjoyable
Thing and draining processes have been
In progress at Washington and Colum-
bia, with the result that fairways which
have been soggy in other years are now
dry except in times OF exceptionally wet
weather.
II George J. Voigt continues around
Washington the same sensational brand
of gold he has shown In the South dur
ing the Winter. he will have much the
same triumphant procession through
the local Journeys that he had last
year
When Voigts record over the last
two years is considered, 1t Is sensational
indeed. and II is doubtful II any golfer
in the country has enjoyed the same
consistent success. In the first place.
Voigt has not lost q match play event
since September, 1926. when John C..
Shorey holed 35-foot putt on the
eighteenth green at Bannockburn to
trounce him in the final. He has re-
peated In the District amateur cham
pionship and has gone through the
high-class competition In the South as
hot knife through butter. Even
against Eddie Held. who has been
ranked for several years as one Of the
finest golfers In the country. Voigt shot
such sensational golf that he took the
measure of the st. Louis star by a
margin OF 5 and T.
His two major failures last year were
In the open and the amateur cham
pionships, in both of which he failed
to qualify. But this did not affect his
match play record. which still stands
inviolate since the Fall of le26--a truly
remarkable feat. since Voigt had taken
on all comers in amateur events. bar
ring none.
The only time he was really near
defeat last year In local tourney was
at Indian Spring. where Page Hufty
was 2 up on the Bannockburn star at
the eighth hole. but Succumbed to
Vojgt's steadiness on the seventeenth
green.
AT present unless Roland Mackenzie
elects TO play In the tournaments
around Washington this year. there
does not appear To be any local amateur
capable OF stopping voigt.
Washington professionals will meet
with members OF the paid brigade from
Maryland and Virginia Immediately
after the Richmond open TO arrange a
schedule OF events for the season, The
forthcoming Pinehurst and Richmond
events have thrown attempts TO hold a
meeting out OF gear but a schedule viii
be drawn up within fortnight.
Notwithstanding nnfavorabie weather
In the form Of high winds and rain, the
public courses are doing unusually we'll
this Spring. Both the courses report
unusually heavy play for this time OF
year. considering weather conditions.
