would be the annual payment.

SAME TITLE

An interesting dispute will be
settled Tuesday night at the Port
ner Arena where Sailor Billy Lam
ders lays his chin on the line, so
to speak, in the windup of the
Alexandria Day Nursery boxing
card against frankie McKenna,
Baltimore bantam.
Both boys claim the bantam
weight championship Of the
South. McKe mas manager.
Fred Barth, can't for the life OF
him see how Landers figures the
title belongs to him.
"Of course, if Landers wants
to dispute Jack Dempsey'S de-
cision which frankie gained
over him at Portsmouth, it's all
right with me. 1t will only
make him more foolish when
McKenna beats him again."
Since Tony Barbara, handler
of Larders, has tried repeatedly
to get a return shot with NC
Kenna during the last year and
has failed, he states the only
thing he could do was claim the
Southern title for LanderS.
Not since McKenna whipped
him at Portsmouth has the sailor
been on the short end of a de-
cision. He was whipped by
frankie De Angelo and Dick
Welsh, but both boys outweighed
him seven pounds. The De Ang.
elo and Welsh decisions at that

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Rogers
Hornsby, manager of the Chicago
Cubs, today said he would make
an announcement before nightfall
concerning the disposition Of
Hack Wilson, former Cubs home
run king.
Boston was favored to get Will
son in exchange for group Of
players whose names were not
divulged. However, the st. Louis
Cardinals also were bidding for
him in the dickering at the joint
major baseball league gathering,
as were Brooklyn and Cincinnati.
Hornsby said he wanted players
rather than cash.
The Braves will trade Ed
Brandt, stellar pitcher, to- the
Cubs for Hack Wilson, one-time
home run king, according to re-
ports. William L. Veeck, Cubs
president.
At the formal joint league ses-
sion tomorrow a proposition will
be submitted whereby reserved
seats for the entire seven games
in the world series will be sold
in advance, Instead of only for
six games, as heretofore.
Radio broadcaSting of major

sideration again today. Many

would improve if the fans could
not hear the contests over the
radio.
BrOadcasting for 1882
The American League magnates
last night decided there should be
no interference with broadcasting
in 1882 but that no contracts
should be made for 1888.
Banging of artificial double
headers was approved, and it was
voted to prohibit intraleague
games during the exhibition sea-
son.
The four clubs having repre-
sentatives on the board of direc-
tors next season will be Chicago,
Cleveland, New York and Boston.
The American League passed a
resolution of sympathy in the
death of Charles A. Comiskey.
Only Wilson Wanted
The National League went con-
trary to the American circuit in
deciding to countenance syn
thetic double headers. The mat
ter was left to the option Of the
home club.
At the joint session of the
leagues tomorrow, there probably
will be balloting on the double
header proposition.
Outside of the speculation about
Hack Wilson's future, the trad
ing prospects were dull yesterday.
