JOHNSON MY

Jack Curley and Jack Johnson got tangled up yesterday In a fin little argument which may result In the calling off of the match between the cham pion and Jim Flynn. Johnson Is the balky party to the dispute, which Is all over the Flynn-Palzer battle, booked for a New York ring Feb. 15. Johnson claims Curley Is trying to "put one over on him." He says he had a verbal agreement with the fireman's manager whereby neither he nor Flynn was to fight before their July battle without obtaining the consent of the other. He is willing to let Flynn fight Palzer, but thinks Jim Is taking a chance with the Iowa bearcat and wants a sJice of the money before he will agree to the Gotham bout. " Curley and Flynn did make that verbal agreement In the presence of the writer, as Johnson alleges. But It was just before the signing of the articles in the Hotel Sherman a week ago last Saturday. When the articles ' were drawn up the agreement was omitted therein, and the papers read that neither man -was to box after May 1 without permission of the other. Johnson E A SHORTSTOP Cub Boss Finds L. Smith Active in a Game at Glendora. Monrovia, Cal., Jan. 15. Frank Chance has signed a new shortstop for the Cubs. He is L. Smith of Rediands, Cal. Chance saw the boy playing with a team at Glendora a few weeks ago and was impressed with his possibilities. The manager of the Cubs eaye Smith showed good indications of tiecoming a high class player. When seen at "Cub Ranch" this morning Chance looked the picture of ruddy health and said he's feeling fine. "The Cubs will begin training at New Orleans," he said. "Several years ago we tried southern California, but the results were not satisfactory. New Orleans is warmer and the players get into condition better. I can't ay what our prospects are for this year, as I do V

claims Curley tricked him amidst the excitement of the hotel gathering. "I have no abjection to letting Flynn fight Kubiak Wednesday night, because Tom Flanagan has the Toronto match and he Is a friend of mine," said Johnson last night. "Then Flynn Is taking no chance with Kubiak, anyway. But with Palser it is different. I will not consent to the Palzer match unless I get spme of the money.- If Curley goes through with that contest against my wishes I will call off my fight with Flynn. Curley - agreed not to fight without my Consent . and then tricked me- in the articles. I will not let him get away with it." .Curley, when "questioned about Johnson's stand,. talked as 1f he did not anticipate' any trouble. "There Is only a slight misunderstanding" said ' Curley. ' "The articles signed" by Johnson permit us to make the Palzer fight If we wish to.. I am not positive that he will yet, but Johnson, has no' kick coming. If we , do. I think masters will be amicably adjusted, though I don't see how Johnson figures he should get a' share of the money for that fight.' not know what new material the Cubs will have or what other teams hare developed. ' Guesses this early are no good. After playing a while in New Orleans we will work northward to open the season April 11." BLACKLIST PLANNED FOR LITTLE TIVE Big 8 May Sever Relations With Schools Sanctioning Professionalism. Trouble' between members of the College Athletic Conference and the ' Big Eight" universities over the question of summer baseball is the next development billed for the western educational institutions. The "Ltitle Five," which sanctioned the summer game at a meeting Saturday at the University club, may be "barred from competition with the athletes of the larger . body, conference officials declare. The move of the five colleges In letHarbor

ting down the bars to summer baseball wits a great Jolt to the University of Chicago authorities and other officials who are trying to keep the vacation sport out of the west. Professors ot the Midway school declared they were no-snprepared to predict the result, but that the "Little Five" athletes In track and other branches probably would feel the effects by going on the black list. Lake Forest, Monmouth, Knox, Armour Institute and Beloit are the schools affected. W. K. Smart of Armour Institute, a former Maroon star, who was active In Saturday's meeting, stated that the new rule would not lowBr the athletic standard In the collegeVonference.
