NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The Baxter
mile, normally the foremost feature
of the New York Athletic Clubs in
door track and field meet, will share
the spotlight with the Toussaint
2-mile in the 10th renewal of the
games tonight at Madison Square
Garden.
The man responsible for this turn
of events is Gil Dodds Of the Boston
Athletic Association, who is switch
ing to the longer distance for the
first time in his comeback campaign
after making shambles OF the
mile races in other meets this year
In the 2-mile fixture, Dodds
looms as likely threat to snap the
victory string of Forest Efaw, the
Oklahoma veteran who holds the
national AAU indoor 3-mile title
and has won all four of his 2-mile
starts this season.
He will be shooting for the world
indoor 2-mile record of 8:51, held
by Greg Rice, hoping to add a new
mark at this distance to his world
indoor mile record of 4:06.4.
Dodds' absence makes Tommy
Quinn of the New York Athletic
Club the favorite in the Baxter
mile. Quinn ran second to the Ne
braska-born preacher in all three
of his mile starts this season.
But with Dodds and his killing
pace out of the way, all five Baxter
starters probably will run entirely
different races. At any rate, the
Baxter should be q closer contest

Robinson Bribe Case
Decision Due Monday
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The New
York State Athletic Commission will
announce it's decision Monday in
the case of Welterweight Champion
Ray Robinson, charged with failing
to report to the commission a pur-
ported $4,000 bribe offer.
In its second hearing within a
week, the commission yesterday took
the testimony of Robinson and his
manager, George Gainford, on an
incident which they said occurred
last August while Robinson was in
training for his scheduled title bout
with Marty Servo, who was cham
pion at that time.
The commission last week after
a hearing revoked the license OF
Middleweight Rocky Graziano fol
failing to report two 100000 bribe
bids to throw fights.
Robinson testified a man "stocky
and we'll dressed" came to him afte,
a training session and said "Ill bet
you $4,000 you don't make the
weight"
"I jumped up from the rubbing
table," Robinson testified, land told
him I've been waiting five years
for this title shot-why shouldn't
I make the weight? I'll make the
weight if I have to go in on one
Ileg.' Then I walked into the
shower"
Gainford testified the man then
said don't get sore-it's simply a
sporting proposition"

Fusari Looms as Title
Threat 10 Robinson
After Larkin kayo
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Charley
Fusari didn't get up to help Pop"
on the milk route over in Jersey
this morning because Charley had
done his delivering in Madison
Square Garden last night.
The Sicilian-born swatter from
Irvington, N. j., had delivered so
we'll that today he could boast 48
straight victories. And his nine
round job of flattening Tippy Lar
kin, the Junior welterweight cham
pion, moved him far up front and
center among challengers for Sugar
Ray Robinson's welterweight crown.
This was clouting Charley's 34th
knockout in his never-beaten career.
And with it he really arrived"
among the wefterweight glamour
boys. Brought along slowly since
he started punching for pay back in
1914, he has been managed mas
terfully by Vic Marsillo, the little
gagster who admits some of his
jokes may have killed vaudeville.
F'usari, foored his fellow jersey
man five times before Referee Ar
thur Donovan stopped the sWatting
at 2::49 of the ninth. Fusari, at 146,
had a 4-pound advantage.
Practically the entire population
of North Jersey came across the
river for the clam bake, SO the
garden hung out its "SRO" sign
for the first time in a year and
8,494 customers played a $115,4 Ass
tune on Promoter Mike Jacobs
cash registers.
Larkin had the edge in expert
ence, and this told in the third and
fourth rounds when he tied Fusari
up, scored with contemporaries and
speared Charley with jabs as if he
were spearing olives out of mar
tinis. But there's no answer for a
solid clout on the whiskers, as they
say in the fight game, and 21-year-
old Charley had an arsenal full OF
those. He f1oored Tippy once each
in the first, second and seventh
rounds and twice in the ninth. The
last time, Tippy was still trying to
get up, but the referee closed up
shop.

the $25, ,000- added McLennan Handi-
cap at Hialeah race course today
in a field of IA eligibles for the
richest purse thus far of the Florida
thoroughbred season.
Top-weighted at 100 pounds, the
Calumet speedster will be out for
his third triumph-and third ap-
pearance-of the winter running,
pitted against one of the best fields
of the year.
Although the dusky gelding is the
unquestioned favorite, Dan Chap
pell's Lets Dance-winner of the
Santa Anita $4,000 San Pasquel in
January; Shamrock Stables West
minister, and Aksel Winchfeld's s
Cable, to be ridden by veteran
Jockey Ted Atkinson, ranked high
in the overnight figuring.
Jacob Sher's Frere Jacques, which
knocked two full seconds off the
1/16-mile track record a week ago;
Gustave Rings entry of Respingo
and Lord Grillo; Statesman, War
Watch and Eternal Reward, also
are sturdy challengers for the rs
mile feature for 3-year- -olds and up
The field is rounded out by Rings
Prefect, T. D. Bulbs Air Sailor, W.
L. Huntley's Top Reward, and
Porter Roberts Eternal Reward.
Hialeah President John G. Clark

hand for the biggest purse thus far

Win Over Kings Point
Is Model for Cards
Against BuckneII
By Lewis F. Atchison

F., The Collegiate Hit parade spot
| light shifts 20 Catholic University
tonight when the Cardinals, still
smarting from their A tie with
Georgetown, battle Bucknell at $3.50
If the show generates a fraction
of the excitement stirred up last
night by Maryland and Kings Point
it'll send your blood pressure zoom-
ing. The Terps padded the Marin
ers, 6-2, but that doesn't begin to
tell the story.
AS expected, the 155-pound bout
between Maryland's Ed Rieder and
Stan Wheatley featured the affair
A ton of dynamite exploded under
the White House couldn't have cre-
ated more excitement and it ended
with Rieder fiat on his back. The
Old Liner was so FAR ahead on points
bank teller couldn't have COM
puted the score, but after using
everything in his arsenal he didn't
have enough to put Wheatley away
Right to Chin is Telling Blow.
They stood toe to toe and ex-
changed what should have been
knockout punches in the first round
Then in the third, with Rieder dead
on his feet, Wheatley caught him
with a hard overland right on the
chin. That was the finish.
Equally surprising was Johnny
Favorite's TKO over Maryland S
Bob Gregson in the 1866 pound bout,
which Gregson was doped to win.
Favorite, however, fought cool,
smart fight and drove home a
hard right that sent Gregson to the
floor in the third. Twice the Old
Liner arose, but it was obvious after
the third trip that he was through
for the night.
AL Salkowski of Maryland ended
Ed Coletta's winning streak at four
bouts in the opening 125-pound
skirmish, but lasted just long enough
to get the nod. Andy Quattrocchi
also ran into a Tartar in Bob
Thomasian of Kings Point in the
13o-pound scuff1e, but the outcome
never was in doubt. 1t marked the
first fight the Marylander hadn't
won by kayo.
Malone Wins Close Bout.
Ken Malone got the nod over Bob
Grower in the 175-pound match,
but it was close all the way and the
jolly Irishman's early lead stood him
in good stead in the final round.
Feature of tonight's G. U.-Bucknell
match probably will be the heavy

Lanier Is Holding Out
As Pasquel Tries 10
Ha|ve $4,000 Pay
By the Assoeioisd Press

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 15.-South-
paw Max Lanier, who jumped the
st. Louis Cardinals last year to play
in the Mexican Baseball League.
nov is holdout because he has been
asked to take so per cent cut from
the $4,000 he was reported to have
received in 1916.
This was disclosed today as Jorge
Pasquel, Mexican League president,
said he planned a trip to Cuba on
Wednesday to try to break up a re-
ported mass holdout of United
States, Cuban and Mexican players
who played in the league last year.
A source close to the leagues
inner council said practically all of
Mexico's 120 players in Cuba, four
fifths of the total league, had Joined
one of four holdout groups. He said
the groups were: Cuban players
headed by Tomas De La Cruz; the
United States whites led by Roland
Gladu and Jim Roy; United States
Negroes under Lloyd Davenport, and
the Mexicans commanded by Ro-
berto Avila.
These groups are trying to get
increases on their present contracts
with the Mexican League, he said,
or in isolated cases are defending
against reductions suggested by Pas
quel. He said Davenport, for eX-
ample, was insisting on so per cent
increase over his $4,000 salary last
season, while Lanier Is fighting
against a $1,000 cut.
Lanier was the National Leagues
leading pitcher when he jumped
from the Cards to the Mexican
League for a bonus and the $14, 900
salary-generally regarded to be
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year more
than that paid him by st. Louis.
He was accompanied south by
Second Baseman Lou Klein and
Fred Martin, highly touted outfield
rookie.
After reaching Mexico. Lanier
