Since the time limit in which he cxuld aign articles for a bout under the S-uling of the commluion expired last, night.

Wilson's tiUe automatically became forfeited as far aa New Yotk fcl te is concerned. The official statement of the commli-aion, covering both the featherweight and title situations, la as follows: No effort having been made or deal p. expressed to accept the challenge of Johnny Dundee for the title of champion featherweight held by Johnny Kllbane. this (commission considers that Kilban is eliminated from ail right and title, as far as this State Is concerned, to the fraU.rweight championship. frank matchmaker of the.

The. fact that Kllbane had completely Ignored the challsrtae of Dundee, which Was submitted to the local commission wlthl an accompanying forfeit of $200. reetgSed In the commlsalon declaring Ms title void as far as the Empire State i was concerned.

At the meeting of the board It developed that Kllbane had not communicated directly with the commission since Its announcement of Dun- title challenge. In" the case of "Wilson, however, the situation was dif- ferert. Wilson signed a contract to box Harry Greb at Madisot Square Garden last Winter, but subsequently refused to go through with the contract. For, 'this be waa susoended indefinitely er tU such time as be agreed to honor the Contract. The commission recently sec a time limit, in which Wilson could for a bout.

At the meeting yester day It was reported that indications pointed to Wilson's acceptance of the Ores match. For this reason the com mission qualified the forfeiture of the middleweight title, with the understand ing. 1 however, that the championship wooM be declared open for competition If Wilson did not aign up before mld- zugza tasx nignt. 1 Seeks Benefit 8 pert. The motives back of the Commission's latest ruling.

Chairman Willi am Mul-dooit said after the meeting, are for the benefit of the sport here and through the country in general. We have decided Ho compel cham pions to defend their titles, and to1 ilmraate the taint of commercialism which, fast is attaching to ring championship, said Chairman Maldoon. in discussing the situation. The impression la held In some quarters that we are. arbitrarily, taking titles away from- some boxers and presenting them to ethers.

Such an impression Is al- ioreuerroreign to the motives which prompt our actions. Titles are won In the ring. They are not conferred upon or presented to anybody. We are not declaring anybody a champion. We simply are enforcing the rules which specifically state that champions must ueiena tneir title at regular.

Intervals against legitimate challengers. "In the case of Kllbane. hi title has been declared forfeited, as far as this State Is Dundee, beta caaueager ox mipano. muat now box JwxmT ruin. wno was tne last man to pox Jiuaane.

and who challenged efter Dundee. The winner of this bout will be recognised to New Tork State as tne featherweight champion and will be compelled to defend hi title. If Dundee doea not live nn ta ih. rhal. lenge, he will be regarded la the same light aa Kllbane.

and Frush then will be compelled to box one of several other contenders to determine the championship. Wilson baa until midnight to come through. If not he will be discarded automatically. That would leave Greb as the first challenger. Rosenberg to- cay cnauengea him and posted a ror felt.

The situation, accordingly, demands a meeting between Greb and Rosenberg, and the winner of the contest would be regarded as the champion. as far as this State la concerned. As the situation now stands the feather weight and middleweight ranks are without champions. The old champions are eliminated. The first bout between the foremost challengers in the two divisions will determine the successor to the championship, which, hv aaid before, is not the personal property of any athlete, but simply an honor conferred by the public.

Dundee notified the commission that was pepared to battle Frush for the la. It is likely this bout will be ar-kged as an attraction at the Veto-I me In August. Indicationa point to Lout btween Rosenberg and Greb for middleweight Utle. being held at Eb--ts Field. Brooklyn.

GOOD LUCK KILBANETS REPLY. Boxer's Rejoinder to Commission's Action Is a Brief One. CLEVELAND. June 2. When told of the action of the New Tork State Boxing Commission In ruling that he had vacated hi title of world's featherweight i champion by not accepting a challenge from Johnny Dundee of New Tork.

Leo P. Flynn, manager of Bill Brennan.

HAY SETTLE WILLS AND DEHPSEY BOUT Kearns and Rickard Expected to Discuss Terms for Match at Meeting Here Today. "Whether Jack Dempsey. world's heavyweight champion, will defend his Utle against Harry Wills.

New Orleans negro heavyweight, probably will be known today, with the arrival here of Jack Kearns. manager of the title-holder. Kearns is returning from a visit to Los Aageles and will be followed shortly by Dempsey. It is understood Kearns plans a conference with Promoter Tex Rickard for the purpose of discussing terms, for a prospective Dempaey-WUls' bout. When in this city, upon his return from abroad, Kearns talked over the heavyweight championship situation with the promoter, but on that occasion Kearns' a demand for a Cat S500.0UO was termed ridiculous by Rickard.

Rickard has not receded from that stand. Possibly the action of the State Athletic Commlaaioa. in accepting Wllis's challenge and dowiandiag of Dempeey that tte recognise tne utcfl. will have some effect in inducing Dempsey to enter the ring uefense of his laurels, fiunce accepting ills challenge, how-aver, tne couunission haa reottived no word front eitner Dempeey or his manager. 'in.

iempsey-Wills situation was not discussed at yesterdays meeting of tiie CKOimiaaiob. Jp'oilowing the session, however. Chairman Muldoon declared uia rcadinesa to set a time limit in which the heavyweight champion can sign for a Wills bout, unless Dempsey shortly responds to the communication of the cojpmiaaion on behalf of Wills. In tne meantime Paddy Muilina. manager of Wills, is sitting back awaiting Developments.

Mulllns plans a conference with Kearns this afternoon in an effort to close a match between Wills and Dempsey. Reports preceding Kearns from the Mid-West are to the effect that Dempeey has signed for a bout with Bill Brennan. to be held In Michigan City on Labor Day afternoon. Such a matcn, if it has been dosed. Is news to Leo P.

Flynn. manager of Brennan. Flynn declared yesterday that he had signed Brennan for bouts on July 4 in Catietts- burg. aad on July 11 in New Orleans. but had received no offer for a bout against Dempsey in Michigan City.

Flynn added that he had no intention of signing for Brennan unless the finan cial inducements were up to his expectations, but he declined to ssy what he would demand for Brennan In a clash with the champion. Brennan la ready to right the champion or fight anybody else In a cam paign leading to a championship match." said Flynn. He doesn't draw the color line. He'll fight Harry Wills any place aad any time, ir any promoter will guarantee me S4O.000 for hia end. I Brennan will right Jess Wlllard for 25 per cent, and I'll guarantee he'll knock Wlllard out Inside of five rounds If Jess can be Induced to risk a bout with Brennan." Dlspatchea yesterday quoted Wlllard as accepting terms submitted by Promoter Rickard for a bout against Dempsey.

but Rickard professes Ignorance of tne matter. CONTROL OF INDIANS VESTED IN MRS. DUNN Husband's WUl Makes Her Chief Owner and Asks That Speaker Be Kept in Power. CHICAGO. June 20 (Associated Preaa).

YANKS BREAK LONG STRING OF DEFEATS Hugmen Triumph Over Indians by 6 to 5 After Eight Suo- or cessfva Setbacks. RUTH IN ANOTHER ROW Babe Has Verbal Battle With Urn plre Dlnneen Before Qame Double Play Savts Champions. 'pedal to Te Neao Tor Tims CLEVELAND. June 20. After losing eight straight games, the Yankees found themselves today and won.

They defeated the Cleveland Indians by a score of 0 to In nine Innlnga It was the sixth game that the Yanks have won since beg Inning the present Western trip. They have lost nine. Today they will finish the Invasion and start back East. The game today was more or leas of a secondary affair. The feature was the row between Babe Ruth and Umpire Bill Dlnneen before the clubs went to grips.

Babe had been suspended Tor three days after yesterday's row with the arbiter, but the Bambino took batting practice with hia team matea prior to tne game. nen Utnneen stepped Into the Indiana' dugout Kuth followed him and they exchanged greetings: in fact, it la said that Kuth spoke rather aharply to the umpire. Tonight It was rumored that Dlnneen bad sent a special delivery letter to President Ban Johnson of the American League explaining in detail Just exactly what naypenea. ana there was no way or telling whether Mr. Johnson would sdd to Babe a sentence or not- In other words.

Babe and the Tanks had to alt pretty and wait for word from the league's headquarters In Chicago. Just what Ruth had to say to IMnrveen or what Dlnneen had to say to Kuth Is not known. Neither or them would divulge confidences tonla-ht. So it was extremely difficult to state Just whet action Ban Johnson might take. It is known, however, thst Miller Hoggins had a conference with Huth after the game.

The manager evidently wanted to now what Babe bad te say to the umpire and what the umpire had to say to him. Close to Defeat Again.
