From the way the sulg Jeot is discussed in some quarters one might think the job was one of Prest- @ential importance.

ATELY State Senator Jimmy ‘Walker of New York, Harvey Woodruff, a Chicago newspaper man, And also Collector Bill Edwards Rave been mentioned as possible chairmen of the commission. We don't know how Woodruff stands. He may De the ideal man, but we doubt whether Walker or “Big Bill" would even consider the proposition. - _ Walker has too big a political future right here in little old Naw York to himself up with bickering baseball . fear eeiee he was reapon- for the ation which made Sund: y baseball possible here, but. that’s no reason why he should eee, Sunsets from the politica) i, where he shines natur- ally and brightly, just to keop six- teen or more belligerent club owners from muasing up one another. How- ever, the mention of Walker's name _ yim connection with Garry Herrmann's duties can't be distasteful, Instead, a) ‘to keep him tn the limelight, and accruing publicity of tre eat ind can’t hurt, 8 80 much, The genial collegtor has unusual foresight. He is _ admittedly a polftician and a big man intellectually. ‘The political outlook may not bo so promising to him. He ‘may (84 hid way clear to accept ‘the honors. Harry Frazee, discussing the sub- fect. of the National’ Commission chairman, said it was a job for a nationally known man and he didn’t think Scator Walker enjoyed that feputation. Maybe Edwards fulfills Brazee's requirements. ' tor Bill Edwards, we can't say HE lot of the poor big league baseball player is gotting harder each year.

Meanwhile, instead of playing to handful of fans, as in the “old days, when there were no financial returns to the club owners, they will be kept om their toes before big Southern erowds to whom league teams are quite an attraction, and the money will roll in, In other words the wrain- ing games this spring will be money mekers for the club owners. ‘They i more than pay expenses which formerly were gladly assuthed by the various managements, but the poor players won't figure in the changed conditions, “ ARPENTIER has accepted Fox's offer to fight Jack Dempsey here."" “Tex Hic rd will get the fight,” says Descamps, of Carpentier, “I have an option on Carpentier and he can't fight for anyone else," asverts, Charles Cooliran.

Hagen has twice won the national title, at Midlothian in 1914, and at Brae Burn in 1919, Barnes never seems to catch his best game in national championships, and has failed to connect with the premier title. But in the Western open and other tournaments Long James is @ clean-up performer.
