SPORTS. €ONGRESSIONAL ATTACK NOW CONFRONTS JUDGE Resolution Proposes Investigation of Combining Base Ball and Bench—Judge-Rice “Trade” Peeves Griff. ~= BY DENMAN THOMPSO! KENESA\V MOUNTAIN LANDIS is obtaining increasing evidence daily that holding the exalted position of high commissioner of organized base ball, while rtaining his berth on the federal b:nch,_is gumg to prove no rose-strewn pathway. The complexities of the task of adjusting disputes in the national pastime, with its score of leagues, hun- dreds of executives and thousands of players, is an arduous enough job for.any one man if free to devote his entire attention to it, but when, in addition, he must weigh evidence and decide intricate points of law in holding court and contend with attacks on the propriety of the dual task hé is attempting, his hands surely may be said to be full. “ Landis has not vet fully embarked | upen his base ball assignment, in that he has vet to render any decisions in the:mountain of cases piled up for his consideration, but he already has ab- #erbed enough of the situation to ap- Preciate the enormity of the task co fronting him. Now, while establish- ing>an office and organizing a secr: tarial force to put the machinery in motion, he is made a target for con- gressional action for the purpose of fofcing him to relinquish his base ball compections or resign his judgeship. ¥ Wants Statas Probed. Representative Welty 2f Onto.a d¥fifocrat, is back of the latest move @against Landis, he nhaving introduced & resolution asking the House judi- ciary committee to determine whether Landis is permitted under law teacontihue as federal judge of the northern Illinois @istrict while acting ®a,Zarbitrator of organized base ball* at:an annual salary of $42,500. Repre- tive Welty also states he has \ m‘d Attorney General Palmer for an \ apimion as to whether existing laws sanction receipt by a federal judge of @moluments from agencies other than . tie:government. If not, it is pointed omt, Judge Landis would be subject to impeachment. Representative Welty awserts he does not wish to impugn tisomotives of Judge Landis in accep ted in good faith. but thinks the v ¥ ‘s action has decreased respect 1oF his judicial position. - hether Mr. Welty's resolution for am snvestigation 'will be passed by theedHouse is problematic, but that Landis will find all his wak- mourn well occupied by base ball s alone seems assured from the fimtufle of cases piling up for him.

The possibility of the Dempsey-Car- pentier contesi being held here was |revealed in a stutement issued by Rickard regarding the change in plans for the Dempsey-Willard bout. | In his statement Rickard said: “For various reasons I have decided to postpone the Dempsey - Willard match until Labor day, September 5. The surprising demand for tickets for the Willard-Dempsey bout clearly in- dicates that Madison Square Garden would accommodate but a fraction of s | those who desire to see the bout. “Willard's confidence in his ability to regain the championship has im- pressed many followers of boxing, and a demand has been created that he be matched with the winner of the Dempsey-Carpentier contest. 1 shall, therefore, erect a large open-air arena for the international contest, and stage a match between Willard and the winner of this bout, under the existing contract.” Work on the arena will be started in a month, Rickard said.

It is one of the sports that has many times been in the greatest dis- repute on its professional side, and whether these long years of eccen- tricities have so “queered it that no- body can satisfactorily control it is a question. But that question will be settled within the next few years, for the organized bodies today, like those above mentioned. and the men who are behind them, and who are in no way connected with anything sav- oring of the financial end, will leave no stone unturned to accomplish its thorough rehabilitation and the keep- ing of it on a plane where it may be recognized. Where formerly a man who attended a professional boxing vent was looked upon askance by many of his acquaintances. the day evidently has come when it will be possible for him to attend such af- rs openly without any suggestion that he is a sport rather than a sportsman.
