Detroit American o der, :sserted tonight that he would nof port to th Boston Amerfcans un- arrangements were made to re- burse him for $3,000, which he tald it would cost him to niake the nove. The sale of Veach was an- nounced by Frank J. Navin, president of the local club, late today, but the wmount of cash Involved was not an- nounced. Veach, who has played for eleven vears with the Detroit club, eaid he hiad his home, property and business interests in Detroit and it would be a great expense to him to make the move to Boston. He refused to say what further action he would take in event he was refused compensa- tlon for the move. “That 1§ my business,” he asserted, Another announcement by the De- troft club was thai George Cutshaw, infielder, at his own request had been granted his unconditional release. A surplus of cutfleld talent is give as the reason for the sale of Veach. T Veteran was not used regularly ast season and Manager Cobb has indicated that he will use Helnie Manush, a youngster of promise, in Veach's position next season. Originally Was a Pltcher. Veach came to the Tigers from Indianapolis. Originally he was a vitcher, but when the Indianapolis club purchased him from Peoria it was decided to place him' in'the out, field to take advantage of his hitting ebility. ; When he came to Detroit Veach was only ordinary in defensive play, but_rapidly developed Into''a’ fast outfielder, and for several years was one of the best throwing. outfielders in_the game. Veach's strength, however, has al- ways been in his bat. Despite the development in recent years in meth- ods of batting, Veach has clung to nis original form of swinging from e shoulder and taking a_full cut the ball. He is always dangerous 1l does not change his style to meet the different pitching dellveries. It was announced several months sgo that a 1924 contract would be cftered to Cutshaw, who was out of the game most of last season be- cause of an operation.

Wills, according to Rickard, de- |clured his willingness to accept the |ofter, confident that he can dispose | of Firpo and earn a match with the | champion, for which he has been | seeking two years in vain. Mullins, | however, has balked at any proposi- | tion callifg for an elimination test, | insisting that Wills is entitled to meet Dempsey without further pre- {liminaries. Rickard's _refusal |agree to this has produced. a dead- lock which, it is believed, may keep | Wills in the background of the 1924 | heavyieight program, as he was in | 1922 and 1923. S What Rickard Guarantees. Rickard's offer calls for a guaran- tee of $100,000 to Wills for a fight with Firpo around July 4; if.the ne- | gro wins, a $200,000 guarantee for a title fight with. Dempsey In Septem- ber. Both bouts would be staged in the metropolitan district. It also was understood that Rickard desired ' to mateh Wills with George Godfrey, Philadelphia negro, for a preliminary test. Another bidder for a Wills-Firpo Wills-Gibbons_bout _entered the field tonight, when the National Sportsmen’s Club of Newark, N. J., announced it was prepared to stage either contest on May 1 and offer a guarantee of $100,000 to either Firpo or Gibbons, thus matching Rickard's proposition. After a conference with representa- tives of the Newark club Mullins ten- tatively agreed to tho offer on behalf of Wills, who would receive a sub- I stantial percentage for his end, but (It was belleved the New Jersey pro- } moters would encounter difficulty in | signing either Gibbons.or Firpo, both of Whom have agreements for fights ) With Rickard. Gibbons already had { consented to a match ‘with: Dempsey | here early in June, while Firpo last | year signed.to box Wills. elther in this country or the Argentine. Mulling Demands Plenty. Mullins was guoted tonight as de- manding $500,000 for Wills to fight Dempsey and from $250.000 to $300, 000 to meet Firpo under Rickard's management, in addition to a share of the motion picture and other rights. The negro's manager said the Newark promoters have & man in Buenos Aires seeking an agreement with Firpo and if the South American and Wills meet in Newark, the latter will sign a contract for a percentage purse. |MISKE LEAVES $2,450 1 ESTATE TO HIS WIDOW ST.
