They insist that they were merely show- | \inz their appreciation to the judge for the good he has done for base ball. BY FAIRPLAY. EW YORK, February 5.—Now that the New York Boxing Commus sion has told Charlie Rosenberg to get busy and defend his bantam title, there is a great scramble among boys of this class for a crack at the champ. _ Frankie Genaro. who claims that he has twice beaten Rosey. wants Yet it is agreed by those who have followed the trend of base ball events that the National put a very powerful card on the tabie when it flung a challenge to the American League to come across with another candidate or mingle with the old circuit. parade. With the National pledged uncquivocally and without fetter or re- straint 1o Judge Landis, there might be a deadlock if the American should | appose him or if the National should oppose any eandidate offered by the American. In that event, it is held t i office until another were chosen It might be a lonz time before the deadlock could be broken. In Chicago. when Judge Landis was elected to the office, it was the Na tions1 whic the 1nitiative and practically forced the American into line. It is stated by one of the men Who were present at the joint confer. ence held between the owners of the leagues that 1t was Veeck of the Chi cazo Cubs who locked the door and izsied instructions that something had took to be done then and there or he would | Dot zua It is most in advocatinz that the National leazue affirm its dence in Judge Landis t that it has been largely his hard work that has brought the National League into the frame of mind to announce fis intention to support the judge be | rtee what the Cubs might do. lovalty and confi | 1d that Veeck has been fore: | i is week, and | hat the commissioner would continue | TOBIN ACCEPTS TERMS: TO GO TO HOT SPRINGS Johnny Tobin. veteran outfielder who was acquired by the Nationals along with Joe Bush in the recent trade that sent Jez Zachary and Win Ballou to the St. Louls Browns, has lost little time in aligning himself for service with the champions. Although the deal put through only last Monday. a wire today from President Clark Griffith, who is wintering at Tampa, advises that Tobin already has ac- cepted the financial terms offered landers’ lead by scoring six goals while their opponents were counting twice.

It will be recalled that when Rosenberg was out on the coast, Cali- fornia Joe Lynch gave him a good pasting. Yet. when Joe came East and tackled Bushy. he, in turn, was soundly trounced. ) Naturally Graham's friends and Eastern fans in general made a good deal of capital aut of th SOTHERN, LOCAL PLAYER, IS BOUGHT BY DODGERS Denny Sothern, W ter and outfielder f: club of the Blue Ridze Base Ball League last season, has been sold to Brooklyn and is expected to report at | the Dodgers’ training camp, Clearwa- ter, Fla., before the end of the month In ducking Graham the champion sugzested that Bushy first meet Chick Suggs for the privilege of try ing for the title.
