G. Lieb, of the New York Baseball Writers' assoclation, in which he assert- 4 baseball officlal scorers “in many cases arc grossty lacking In efficiency and r sponsibility,” advised the baseball writers’ association “put their own house in or- d: befors sending me scurrilous and questionable complaints” on the Ty Cobbd hit_controversy. The New York chapter of the Baschall Writer's association recently forwarded to President Johneon a protest against the latter's action in discarding the box woore of the officlal scorer in a Detroit- Yankee game. at New York last May. In substituting The Associated Press box score-of tlie ‘game.

I' knew nothing of the contro- wersy over Ty Cobb's batting average un: il it was called to my attention in the Public press. Mr. Irwin Howe Is the officlal statis- tician of the American league. When the Cobb incident occurred, 1 equésted a re- port and the official\score of the game of May 15, Mr. Howe had previous made o careful jnvestigation of all facts surrounding the scoring of that day. “The officlal sheet was not signed. and ‘was plainly In error in one other parti- cular that tended to make valueless t pitehing records. The Associated Pres- score of the game of May 15 was accept- ed and with my endorsement. You scor- ed the game for the Assoclated Press that day and credited Cobb with a hit, Are we to belleve that you reversed your judgment at this late date ? “Tnis office. has no direct dealinks with the offiéial scorers. They are ap- pointed by. the c'ubs in the various cities. and experienfe has plainly shown that in many cases they are grossly lacking in efficlency ‘and responsibiity. “Extending through a pericd of sev- eral years, this office has had much. dif- ficulty in securing the official scores, and Insome instances nome. was received af- tor. much telegraphing and correspond- epce.” O'ROURKE GIVES CRIQUI HIS BEST TERM® New York, Dec. 23—Tom O'Roitke, New York boxing promoter, today cabled Bugere Criqui, European featherweight shampion, that plans to match him with Johnmy Kilbane, of Cleveland. world'a | Hpleholder, next Decoration day at the lo Grounds, would be cancelled un-| Criqui_agree to accept a guarantee #f $35,000 "or 20 per cent. of the gate ts.

Another statement made by Chairman Muldoon was that Jess Willard who ant. who formeriy held the world's heavy weight title, will under no circumstanc:s be permitted to box under the jurisdic- tion of the present commission. The ag: | limit, under the rules of the Boxingz Board, will keep Willard ineligible for a license here, it was explained.
