Commissioner DELAYS
Resignation After
PasqueI Denial
BY the Associated Press

| MEXICO CITY, Jan. pa long
distance squabble between former
Mexican Baseball League President
Jorge Pasquel in New York and
High Commissioner Alexandra
Aguilar Reyes here apparently has
cleared the air of some doubts as
to who runs the show, and the
league plans to resume its peace
talks with United States organized
baseball.
The commissioner, appointed last
fall for the dual job of pulling the
circuit out of piling deficits and
making friends north of the Dor
der, resigned Sunday on reading
newspaper reports here that Pas
quel wanted no peace and would
continue to raid United States dia-
monds for talent.
Yesterday, in long statement
explaining his resignation, Agui-
lar Reyes called Pasquel "dic-
tator'r and warned that Mexican
baseball never has fourished under
dictatorship" zarr.
Then came a telegram from Pas
quel denying the statements at
triblIted to him. The commissioner
announced he was withholding his
resignation pending a. meeting with
club presidents to hear Pasquel's
story.
The commissioner, often called
"the father Of Mexican baseball for
his accomplishment of encouraging
it from its old sandlot status to an
organized league, told the Associ-
ated Press he was communicating
today with Walter Mulbry, secretary
to Commissioner A. B. Chandler.
Mulbry came to Mexico represent
ing Chandler for preliminary talks
on baseball truce between the
countries. Main points at issue are
the Latin raids on United States
teams and the status of United
States players suspended for jump
ing their contracts to play south
Of the border.
Pasquel's telegram, sent from
Montreal, Canada, said in part:
90 Informs me you have resigned
as high commissioner because of sup
posed declarations Of mine in New
York. If this is true, I ask you pay
no attention to these absurd YER
sions, most Of which usually are In
bad faith and others ignorant. You
know you have my complete conf
dence and the league will be man
aged by you in accordance with our
conversations. Your decision to the
contrary would prejudice Mexican
baseball which today more than
ever is on the road to success and
complete reorganization.

Katz. .@a.~g e>asasr 4
|. Gino, brought here by Charley
Johnston of the famous Johnston
fight clan, fights ubest at around
1876 to 1877 pounds. - For the Katz
bout he ballooned up to 212 pounds
and got away with draw.
His eight victories include one
kayo, over George Bensick. Among
those he has outpointed are Jimmy
Carollo and Gene Gosney. Gosney,
a newcomer from Seminole, Okla,
had won all of his II pro fights
until he was outroughed by Buon-
vino in the Garden January 2. Gino
scaled 1877 for that hereunder.
Crawford knocked out Bernie Rey-
nolds in two rounds on the same
card.
Shapes Up as Good Bout.
The young italian lacks a real
knockout punch and tries to make
up for this with an endless stream
of blows. He keeps moving for
ward all of the time and appears
to take punishment well. The sharp
eyed boys in Stillman's Gymnasium
call him q "swarmer."
Since Crawford fights from q
classic stance and likes an incom-
ing target for his rapier left, the
fight shapes up as a good one.
The winner may get a shot at Joe
Baksi. That is, II Ollie Tandberg's
victim has come out of hiding yet.

Haithcock is from Macon, N. c.,

away.
An excellent ball handler and a
