The commission head declared that he had not changed his opinior that Willard is beyond the age limit and that the former champion can not work himself back into fighting trim “Willard's talk of returning ring to box Dempsey yhody else is ridiculous,” said irman Mu! doon last night at his home in Fur chase, N. Y. . “He and those who ar discussing Willard's proposed returr to the ring overlook the fact that Willard has no license as a boxer in this state, and that the former cham pion cannot secure a under our age Mmit. Willard says his age is 86 years. I am perfectly satisfied that he is past 40. This nge was es- tablished to my satisfaction some time ago.” w ne to the license, Other States May Act What effect this action by the local board regarding Willard will have re- mains to be seen. It is altogether likely that other boxing commissions through the country, which work in harmony with the Empire State offi- clals, will adopt a similar policy under the terms of the agreement which exists between the various state boards.

J, Jan. 10,—=The Prineeton basekiball team inaugurats ed the 1 intereoliegiate series here this evening by & cleanout triumph over Columbia. 83 to 21, The Tiger quintet won the championship last year, and is this season defending its wn with practically the same team which downed all comers in 1922, The playing on both sides was mediocre ast night, Princeton jumped into an carly lead and was never headed, Ioth Prineeton and their metropoll- tan rivals were slow in getting start. ‘ Wue and White took the ag- gressive at once and for the first few minutes of play showed up stronger than the champions, As in every game this season, the air-tight guarding of the Tigers prevented effective shoot. ing, however, and Columbla could not get near the basket. Both teams in- lulged In long shots from near the senter of the floor with rather poor SUCCEsS, Sam Strom was the high scorer of the evening, chalking up twelve points, or more than half of the total Columbia score, He tossed the two fleld goals, Mel Dickinson, making his ond apeparance on the court since 1, threw five goals from diffcult [ s on the floor, He was the only man who had much success with long- distance chance shots, Art Loeb was high scorer for Princeton, making 11 points, four being on fleld goals. o Tohnson ...

Willard's plans for his current visit here were unchanged yesterday. The tall Kansan, at the McAlpin, was as much reticent on matters pugilistic as he was upon his arrival here Monday night, but he reterated his determin- ation to press his claims for another chance at the world’s title now held by Dempsey. The former champion has two im- portant conferences scheduled for to- day. He expects to see both Tom O'Rourke, matchmaker of the Repub- lic A. C., which operates at the Polo Grounds, and Promoter Tex Rickard of Madison Square Garden in regard to prospects for a ring bout. Whether he will adhere to his plan of seeking only a match against Dempsey, Wil- lard would not say. He repeated his earlier assertion, however, that he would box anybody seuected for him if it was ne ry that he demon- strate his physical fitness for consider- ation as a rival of Dempsey. O'Rourke yesterday telephoned Wii- lard in regard to a proposition the Polo Grounds matchmaker previously had submitted ' to the, former cham-| plon by mail. Willard pleaded press of other business in refusing to discuss terms with O'Roure but stated that he expected to see the Polo Grounds matchmaker this morning. Through Chasing Champion O’Rourke made no attempt to con- ceal his irritation at the failure of ‘Willard to give him a hearing. The veteran matchmaker declared that he was through chasing the former champion, declaring that if Willard intended to give the Polo Grounds of- fer any consideration the former champion knew where the club's of- fices were. “He has my proposition for a fight | against Dempsey or anybody else, | provided he can convince the press and public that he can regain fighting | form,” said O'Rourke. “In my letter to him I informed Willard that the Republic A. C. was the only outdoor place with a license which was avail- able for a bout in which he would be a principal. My offer and the ad- ditional information I thought neces- sary are before him. He can take it or leave it as he prefers. “If he decides to box for me I am sure I will be able to hold the bout. I do not think that age limit of the | State Athletic Commission would bar Willard. I have been advised on the highest legal authority that such a ruling is unconstitutional and there- fore cannot be enforced.” Rickard is expected back in town from Columbus at noon today. Willard plans to see the promoter at Madison Square Garden just as soon as Tex arrives. Willard spent a quiet day yesterday. He gave his attention in the morning| to satisfying the demands of an army | of photographers who snapped the former champion on the McAlpin| roof. In the afternoon Willard visit- ed Madison Square Garden and there | posted for a picture with Matchmaker Frank Flourney. SHEEHAN LEADS PITCHERS Has Low Average of 3.01 Earned Runs in American Association Chicago, Jan. 10.—Pitcher Sheehan of the St. Paul club led the American association twirlers ,ast season, ac- cording to the official averages an- nounced.

He won 18 games and lost five for a mark of .783. ‘Sheehan scored the most victories, 26, Claude Jonnard of ' Indianapolis, who is owned by the Giants, was the nominal leader in both lists, having & won-and-lost average of .875 and ‘an earned run mark of 2.16, but he ~ pitched only elght complete games. ternational league heavyweight | ¢ \WINDSOR IS ADMITTED club. Springfield will receive cash and players for thc Cuban. The price paid by the Inter- national leaguers was not announced It is understood to be about $7,500. Most of this will be paid through the transfer of players. The identity of these players is not known. It has been agreed between the clubs that Toronto will give Springfield a list of men whom they have on their roster and that the Ponles will select the players wanted trom this list. This selection wiil be made after investigation of the ability of the men offered. The amount of cash the local club will receive de- pends on the number of players it takes from Toronto. Player value in this deal will probably be based on the International league waiver price of $1,500. Manager Patsy Donovan, who has several trade irons in the fire, was well pleased last night with the sale. He believes that Toronto has mater- ial enough to plug up the gaps left by the going of Nagle and Gonzales and that if they have not this material the cash the Ponies will receive will allow the purchase of players needed.
