Lieb, ational president of the Baseball Writ- e’ amsoclation and the New York. scor- »r who credited Ty Cobb with a doubt- ful hit in an Associated Press dox. acore, @eclared In a formal statement today that “the American league had no au- thority to accept the unofficial score of the New York-Detrolt . baseball game, played hera May 15, 1923, In preference to the officlal score.” Cobb was credited with the disputed it thereby gaining an average of more than 400 for the third time, as & result of a decision by Ban Johnson, presi- dent of the American league, Who as- serted. that The Associated Press box wcore was used in preference to the of- ficlal score, which, he added, was not son_enough for this curtallment. The statement also declares that the Herald was pledged to Keep away as far as possible from the “tiresome re- counting of the politics of profession- al baseball,” asserting that the “forc- ed and highly artificial yarns about their business meetings do not have real merit as sport fodder.” ] CARPENTIER AND SIKI WILL, BE BARRED IF GUILTY Georges Carpentier and his managsr, Francpls Descamps and Battling ik and his manager, M. Hellers, will be permanently barred from. operating_un- the big league magnatels will do at; authenticated. “My failure, to agres with the officlal seorer in the disputed play,” sald Mr. Lieb, In making clear the circumatances around It, “was due to the fact that it was a Talay afternoon and John F.

Chalr- man Willlam Muldoon of the commis- slon made this statement in discussion of the cabled dispatches of the campalgn in behalf of Stki, who now is under a suspension of nine months by the French Boxing Federation. The fact that the parties entered into a consplracy, ¥ such is proved, will make all four equally culpable, Muldoon sald. He added that if- there is truth & the allegations contained In Sikl's ac- count of the conditions surrounding, the Seneghlese boxer's bout against Carpen- ter, there Is no room for either Carpen- tler or Siki, or the respective managers of the two boxers, in New York.boxing circles. Siki now is under suspension here. The enforced idleness of nine months which was Imposed on the Sencgalese boxer as punishment by the French federation, au- tomatically made Siki ineligible here. for a like period undey an agreement Which the Empire state board has with iis contemporary Europeans body.. If, in his campaign for reinstatement,and the title, Siki confesses and proves his allegations that the Carpentier bout was a frame- up, Siki will be permanently barred hece, and Carpentier will suffer similar pun- ishment, Muldoon said. “It 18, of course, impossible for uy over here to judge ‘the conditions fn France or to pass judgment on the situa- ton in which Siki and Carpentier find themselves,” sald Chairman Muldoon. “We must rely on the cabled reports of acti- vities over there for our information. The dispatches which have been publish- ed in the newspapers here, however, fn- dicate that Siki and Carpentler entered into a conspiracy to decelve the public and impose a fraudulent bout on thoso who support boxing abroad. “Siii, w the dispatches, is credited with having confessed his part in the o | affair. He convicts himself, therefore, of being a man who .would engage in u collusive contest. 2% involves Carpenti- er as the man who engineered the al leged frameup. 13 ‘this is true, then all four of the parties concerned, Siki and his manager and Cappentler and his manager are equally guilty and will he permanently barred here,” the four of them. Chairman Muldoon pointed to reforms and {rprovements which have been car- ried on by the State Athletic Commis- slon. He disclosed a plan whereby box- ers are compelled to condtict themselves above reproach in and out of the ring have thelr llcenses revoked. on - the ground that their actions are detrimental to boxing and a menace to the sport. Another refosn under which the com- mission has strived to eradicate some of the evils of the past is the institution of what Muldoon termed his “bad boy list.” The list is kept as a corrective and precautionary Influence for boxers who suddenly come into prominence and then 3¢ the world's lawn tennfp team cham- | become careless of their training work Ip, has been nomin ullan 8.

JOHNSON-LANDIS QUARREL CHILDISH SAYS HOUSTON The quarrel betwee Ban Johnson and "Judge Landis over the date and place of the annual baseball meetings is child- ish in the extreme, in the calm and rea- soned . judgment of Colonel Tillinghast Huston of the Yankees. The magnate re- fused to specify which party to the dis- pute was guilty of the infantile behavior Dbut he was none the less emphatic in his opinlons anent the latest unpleasant- ness in the ranks of organized baseball. “When two men holding the important positions of Mr. Johnson and Judge Lan- dis have a question to settle, it seems to me that they get together and talk it over,” sald the Coionel. “Their of- fices in Chicago are only a few blocks apart. Why doesn't one walk around the corner, call on the other and get these things settled? This business of waliting for the other fellow to do something and then blocking him doesn’t look to me like good common sense or good business.” With this opinion off his chest, the Yankee magnate stated that Me would not attend the American lefigue meeting m Chicago on Dec. 14—not.because he ob- jects to Johnson's sudden action n switching the place. but becaused personal matters will keep him in this city. Co!- onal Jacob Ruppert will represent the Yanks at the conterence, with the assis- tance .of Business Manager Ed Barrow. “If youre in this city then, you can go toJudge Landis’ foint meeting on the 14th,” it was suggested to Colonel Hus- ton. 'Not on your life,” he retorted. “What | would T do there alone against eight Na | tional Leaguers? I don’t want to be a { hopeless minority all by myself. It looks Tike a physical impossibiiity for the Am- erican League owners to get back from | Chicago for Landis’ meeting. Their own conference won't start until noon Wed- nesday, and the Twentieth Century leaves at 12.40 P. M." = | - If no American Leaguers are present | at the Landis meeting, it will be a joint conference only between the Judge and the National League magnates. Thoy could take no action by themselves. For that reason baseball men believed yes- | terday that the meeting was doomed when Landie déclarel in Loulsville that he-would stick to the hig original plan, Johnson or no Johnson. Landis, however, may take the occa- sfon while in this city to begin a sharp fight agains{ the American League head. basing it oh the fallure of the joint meeting. If there is going to be a base- ball war, as the signs point to now, it | may begin at that time, involving Lan- dis. and the National League on one side and Johnson and the American League on the other. There are plenty of war clouds on the horizon and no lack of warriors, and the battle may settle down to a personal one between the Commis- sioner of Baseball and the only man who has appeared thus far to dispute his su- premacy. .
