18 XING d Wilson: Must Fulfil His Contract | to Fight Greb for Title. STATE ATHLETIC COM- MISSION at its meeting to-day refused to lift the suspension of Middleweight Champion Johnny Wil- son until he shows an inclination to #0 through with his original contract to fight Harry Greb at Madison Square Garden. The commission heard Marty Killilea and Promoter Tex Rickard in complying to the former’s request for a heariix and arrived at its decision without much delay. Killilea left the meeting very much incensed. He felt that he had not been given a square deal, and said so Hoisily even behind the closed doors of the session, He had gone to the boxing headquarters accompanied b: Rickard, with the ‘ansurance that the latter's willingness to waive the Greb contract if Wilson would agree to fight some one else, like Mike Gib- bens or Mike McTigue, would square thhygs all around. The commission however, took a directly opposite view of the s‘tuation, ovidently be- lieving~that <ceb, the disappointed challenger, was entitled to some con- sideration. HEN Rickard left the office of | the commission he declined to | say anything beyond express. ing the belief that Wilson will ulti- mately meet Greb. After all, that | seems to be the only thing that the champion can do if he wants to con- tinue fighting as a means of making a living.

CITY EMPLOYEES TOTAKE UP SPORTS ONGCANTIC SALE Municipal A. A, Organized and, Big Programme Planned for Coming Season. By Robert Boyd. OR the express purpose of tering athletics among different municipal departments, Will- jam W. Cohan, Honorary Deputy Chief of the New York Fire Depart- ment, called together each of the athletic representatives of the city employees at the Army and Navy Club last night and outlined his plans for a comprehensive Municipal A. A. programme for the coming season ‘This is the first time in the history of New York that such a gigantic step has been taken to encourage the | city employees to take up a eport of some kind. In speaking of the aims of the new organization, Mr. Cohan said: “This | idea is the outcome of the dual inter- | city skating meet between the schoot boys of Chicago and New York last winter. Both Mayor William Thomp- son and Mayor Hylan discussed the need of a larger athletic programme among the city employees of. the two greatest cities in the country, owing to the necessity, of physical recreation among the members. If we can bring the school boys of Chi; cago and New York together in skat +; ing meets and baseball games, wh can't we have the city employees of both Chicago and New York compet- ing against each other? We are not seeking to develop champions. We will discourage that as much as possible. What we wilt strive to do is to interest every one of the 80,000 members employed in the municipal departments in some sport, such as swimming, basebali, boxing, running, golf, tennis, &c. We will promote interdepartmental meets fos between, say, the Fire and Police De- partmgats. Our first big set of games will be held in Madison Square Garden Feb. 28. After that we will have some- thing going on throughout the entire year in the sports in season. The athletic programme wiil not in- clude merely men.

Jeans the so-called National Boxing "8 : in ADMISSION FEES FOR Association voted him suspended sixteen other States which come un- der its alleged ji tion. The lat- ter punishment is the result of his bout with Bryan Downey at Colum- bus, when the champion was said to have been saved from a knockout by his own referee, Jimmy Gardner. REB contracted to fight Wilson, posted money to make weight | believed to be a notch below that at which he can do his best, and im leaving nothing in the way of the bout, cancelled several other matches | _which meant good money to him. T is well known that Chairman Muldoon {s a stickler for fair play. He also has a one-way mind when it comes to considera- tion of champions who, as he inter- prets their actions, think themselves bigger than the sport of boxing. He believes thein as much subject to the law and order of the game as the lowliest novice. He is also bent on| correcting the conditions under which some of them would make their titles family heirlooms. He would institute a system of making them defend their honors, not against men whom they themselves might select but against rivals worthy of a chance to win, as judged by public perform- ances. UGH, for instance, as Mr. Mul- doon and his associates might have wished to reinstate Wil- son, so that he might earn the liveli- hood to which he seems entitled, they could not overlook the fact that the champion in wanting to sidestep Greb acted in a manner unbecoming a title-holder. In other words, the commission could not be fair to Wil- son and Rickard, even with the lat- ter relenting to some extent, and deal out no balm to the Pittsburgher, who al in good faith. Inder the circumstances we couldn't blame George Enge, manager of Greb, for asserting himself as he did to us as follows: “Although I have remained silent ever since Johnny Wilson announced that he would not through with his contract to fight Harry Gi I have decided that it is high time for me to say a word or two. It was ru- ‘mored that the Boxing Commission ;would lift the suspension it tacked on Wilson when he ran out of the Greb \match if the middleweight titleholder will agree to box either Mike Gib- bons or Mike McTigue, “Wilson has cried from time to time that he has been the victim of “raw deals.” I would ike to now just what sort of deal Greb would get if Wilson was ome to crawl out ls manager made for him, and box either Gibbons or McTigue, simply because he feels he fan beat this pair and knows Greb for Greb match wes that the latter is a light heavyweight, he knows full well this is not true. I posted $10,000 to guarantee that Greb would weigh under 160 pounds for de Bg even aiered te make the “tigh Pounds, but was told the commission would not permit this.” ATTLAING LEVINSKY says Tun- B ney might wear Carpentier down with body punching, which the Freichman doesn't like, How does the Battler know that (arpentior doesn’t, like body punch- ing?

When he learned what the judges bad done the referee tendered his resignation to the Boxing Commission in disgust. He claimed it was one of the worst decisions ever handed to a fighter. The crowds also booed it for fully five minutes, Dun- dee had seven of ten rounds.

During the national championship at Merion considerable agitation developed that writing daily accounts of matches was stretching the amateur status too far. Sentiment expressed to the nationat association favors a proposed amend- ment of the amateur rule which would prevent players from writing signed reports of tournaments, The new wording provides that a player would lose his amateur standing “by permitting his name to be advertised or published as thor of daily re- ports of tennis tournaments or matches, While the Amateur Rule and Executive Committees believe that such writing should be discour- aged, they have no inclination to stop the writing of general articles describing the strokes or strategy of the game, The educational value of these MID-WINTER WORD Frazee has given the gate to Hu; have given them the bleachers and like he'll need ‘em. old town has changed, oe ‘Ty Cobb's lege have slowed up, march on the other clubs, the standing.
