BY HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Dec 12.-(UP)- Jimmy Johnston sat in his office to-day and over cup of tea played like he was supreme dicta- tor of boxing in America, not just pugilistic wheelhorse for Madison Square Garden. 4.
 ''I am sick and tired of these damn choosey fighters, and you may quote me ante bellum,' said MT Johnston, who has a distinct l flair for foreign languages. "All day long I sit here trying to make l matches and what do I hear? This guy won't fight that guy and that guy won't fight this guy. Every | manager has his little red book of suitable opponents and won't let his man fight anybody that isn't just so wide, just so high, cuts his hair a certain way, and has a mole on the right shoulder. wish l was Mussolini just one day." Before we could tell MT Johnston how swell he'd look in a plumed hat, reviewing the campfire girls, he went on:
 "Yes sir, just one day with Mus solini's power and all this talk about boxing being dead would be through. I could make a dozen Ired-hot matches in the heavyweight division alone. I'd snatch Camera out of Italy and yank Baer outa that Broadway 'hot-spot, throw 'em mugs That'd be my first official of the mint. That scrap would d ha1 r,oi11sAp Dy-iy1 Max won't do business. They'd rather pick up little quick money signing and dancing and mugging for camera.
 Real Money?
 "Sharkey and Baer'd be good for $20O,0OO; Camera and Loughran would do $100,000 and Baer and Schmeling again would draw $150,- 900. Baer and this big Impelli- tiere would hit around $75,000, and Camera and the Imp would do even better. For other good match es you could use Loughran and Neusel, Levinsky and Impy, Levin sky and Neusel, Hamas against Baer, Neusel or Levinsky and an- other go between Sharkey and Loughran. But try and sign these matches. The boys all claim to be fighters, but they won't fight"
 According to MT Johnston, the same situation exists in all the classes, right on down to the fly- weights. He admits. however, that there are few exceptions. One of them is Tony Canzoneri, ex- lightweight champion, and when you mention, Tony's name, brother Johnston's face lights up, and hes off:
 There's a real fighter, that Canzoneri. Even when he had the title he went about looking for trouble. He's put it out in the middle of the ring, rolled up his sleeves, spit on his hands, and says, Come and try to take it away from

HIGH SPOTS

As a. result of taking three straight games from Beardslee,s slipping Sportmen, Drexler's All Stars climbed up to a tie with O'Meara's Commercials who took two out of three from Geigere's Business Men in the weekly tilt of the "Y" Mems league. Drexler's boys were not so hot and won their three games because their opponents were little poorer than they themselves were. Al Drexler and Al Dostaler hit 325 and 322 respectively for the winners while Big Bad Bill Wookey with his 322 score showed the way for the Sportsmen.
 Frank Phelan with nice 357, Howard Hickox sporting 344 and Captain O'Meara with 339 were the big noises in the Commercial vic- tory over the Business Men. Cap- tain Geigere of the losers was ab- sent and Booth and Merkle were left to carry on. Both hit well oyer 300 but it was not enough to balance the brilliant work of the winners.

Brother Wally Wookey who resigned from the league some time ago for the reason of il lhealth, has fully re- covered and has joined up again with the Professionals, Both he and Captain Nelson were bit off color Monday night and Davis crew unexpectedly grabbed a straight victory. Roy Hallock was high scorer for the victors with a 331 total, while Les Brown and Captain Diver with scores of 325 and 312 respectively added their weight to the tide that beat down the oppo- stiion slowly but surely.
 Frank Phelan of the Commer- cials had high single for the even- ing, scoring 140 in the final game. He also took high three honors with a 357. total.

Prosecution Is Not Spar.
 ing the Screen Actress
 in Proving She Stole Marian Reeds Husband

Hollywood. Sept 1-tUP)-Ro- nance which Claire Windsor and dashing young broker found lurking aboard q transcontinental train was painted in vivid colors today as attorneys for Mrs Marian Reed resumed their prosecution of a Sl00,000 alienation of affections suit against the actress,
 Love letters, glowing with tender phrases, were p0raded before the middle-aged jury in the plaintiffs attempt to show that her home life was wrecked when the act ress accepted the love of Alfred Read, Jr,
 The screen actress claims she did not know Read was married when she first accepted hls kisses and then she understood he would be divorced as he continued show ering her with them. One of the letters Reed wrote after he left her in New York in 1881, was read by Attorney Walter J. Little, representing Mrs Read, Tt said;"
 1T have your picture with me -. I only wish l had those beautiful, eyes and long eyelashes now. Hope SVht aHhtN le bttbVAs What you need Is another rub down from someone that is very much in love with you. ..." "Does that mean" the attorney inquired, that Mr Reed was in the habit of giving you rubdowns?"
 Well" said the actress, "he rubbed my ankle 6 or 6 times af- ter I had sprained it." Again Little consulted the pile of scented letters from one he read n passage expressing the desire of the writer to "reiax in your arms" "Did you relax In his arms?" he asked.
 "I kissed him many times" said Miss Windsor.
 The attorney waved the answer aside and repeated the question. "Welr he held me in his arms. "
 "But did you relax in his arms?"
 "Not." replied Miss Windsor that I recall"
 The spectators leaned forward to a man when Little introduced another letter written by Reed to the actress.
 Darling" 1t said, "just came In and found letter from my beauti. ful sweetheart. l could hardly walt to open 1t. I am so happy to know that you really miss me, and thought of me when you came back to your room last night"
 T would give anything to have you here Just for little look at you and maybe kiss and q hug, You mean everything to me. dear, and I want to always bear that In mind. Do keep writing and let me know that you are we'll and hap py, All my love, AL"
 Mss Windsor spoke up from the stand.
 "You understand, of course" she said, that these letters were writ. ten on the premises that Mir Reed was to return to me q single man. Little produced a number of photographs, showing the young broker embracing Miss Windsor,
 Those" she said, "were just notion picture poses"

Following his experiments of rs year ago in which he demonstrated that tree growth was hastened by manufactured gas. Carl C. Deuber assistant professor of plant physi. ology at Yale, has now concluded further experimentation with man. ufacured gas and other vapors and has succeeded in hastening with them the germination of several types of tree and plant life. 1t is reported in an article by Profes- sor peuber, appearing In the cur rent Issue of the American Gas Association Monthly.
 The illuminating gases used In tho experiments were supplied at the laboratory outlets by the New Haven Gas Light Company and by coke oven gas supplied by the company during the summer months, Professor Deuber states.
 "These experiments were prompt. cd by previous work which showed that Illuminating gas may act as stimulant to dorman trees" Professor Deuber explains in his conclusion. This study shows that some dormant seeds may be accelerated In their rate of ger- imitation and that some seeds without a well defined dormant period can be caused to germinate promptly by treatments with H. luminating gases, ethylene and the vapors of ethylene chlorhydrin, The biochemistry and physiolog1 involved in acceleration germina- ton of the treated seeds awaits in- vestigation.
