BY HfcNRY L. FARRELL. YORK, March ,5. After failing to agree on the proper to follow in deciding the opponent tor Jack Dempsey in a heavyweight cliam- tigiit, the New York boxing will put it up to the champion to make his choice of the challenges filed by Tom Gibbons and Harry Wills, It was learned today Some time ago the commission decided to suggest that Gibbons and vvills meet to dt'Cide the logl- challenger for the title and ar- rangt nients were made to sign the match as the feature of the annual outdoor show lor he benefit of the New York milk fund. Gibbon.s said he wa.s ready to accept terms, and Wills replied that he would have to fake on Gibbons if he could not get Dempsey.

When the plans were all about set, Jame.s A. Farley, one of the commissioners, bolted and said he was in favor of Wills or no one and the commission ha.s been trying to promise ever since. arlion 1., 10 bo taken at the of the commission tomorrow. The challenge.s filed by Gibbons and Wills are to dropped ujton the table and the comml.Hsion will have to find a way out of what is admittedly a tight place. If the reported plans are carried out, the commission will slip out of the hole and Dempsey will be squeezed In.

Kane Expects Howl. should happen to choose Gibbons, I know there will be a howl from Eddie Kane, manager of Gibbons, said today. "But what do. agree to tight vvills before the date for the Dempsey fight and if ills beats Dempst-y will have to tight him. Wills will get more money out of a shot against Gibbons than he would against Dempsey because it takes a lot of the receipts to pay the champion.

He also has the chance for two shots instead of Kane received a telegram last night trom E. Sant weir, Los Angeles promoter, who has been trying to a Dempsey-Gibbons bout. Kane told him recently that he would sign as soon as he got signature. Sanfweir wired him that Dempsey said he would not be able to get into shape to defend his title until Septemner. Santweir wsnt.s to stage a (iib- bons-Tunney ttglit in Los Angeles and Kane wired him that he would accept if there is enough money in it.

Even if the commission does not suggest that Gibbons and Wills meet to decide the priority of their challenges it is unlikely in view of recent developments that they will be matched to meet In June in the stadium. Tex Rickard has obtained the boxing privileges at the stadium Stokes Going Good ART STOKES. FORT MEYERS. 4 Art Stokes, former Des Moines and Lincoln Western league pitcher, has been showing unusual promise in the early spring workouts at the Philadelphia Athletics training camp here. Connie Mack has had a ho.st of oflier fllngers and catchers here for over a week.

Stokes Well Liked Here. Stokes wa.s one of the most popular players on the Lincoln State and Western league teams here for three year.s.

Last I Art was procured by the West- I ern league club. Art pitched good Wakefield.

Solon manager, did not think so and Stoke.s was cast aside. Des Moines Immediately signed Stokes, altho Tulsa. Wichita and St. Joseph were all after the ex-Solon. Art finished the season with the Boosters, earning the title of the pitcher of the circuit.

At the conclusion of the season Stokes was sold to (he Athletics for a handsome price. Brooklyn also made a bid for the former Link when Wilson was signed early last August. At Training Camps. Catalina work now is on the program of the Cubs. Manager Killefer drove his men hard yesterday and ordered a stiff workout for today.

Grlmra, newly acquired first sacker, developed a bad blister on the heel and Killefer ordered him to the hotel. Shreveport, Eight players are fighting it out for the shortstop job with the White Sox. John Butler, who played with Wichita last year, is making an impressive showing and indications are he will give Bill Barrett, regular shortstop, his hardest fight. Orlando, Fla, work of Pete Donohue on the mound yesterday pleased Manager Jack Hendricks. Pete used his fast ball and change of pace and the hitters could do nothing with him.

Hughey Critiz and Curt Walker are the latest ar- at the Redleg camp. Stockton, Calif. relieve the tedium of training drill. Branch Rickey has inaugurated several frolic stunts for his squad of Cardinals. The latest is a left handed infield composed of several regular outer gardeners.

Augusta, Ty Cobb spent his first day in uniform Wednesday, directing play of the Tigers from the field. Practically the only fight for a position seems to be at short, here Tavener, Texas league recruit, is pushing Rigney for a regular job. Wlngo, Manush and Heilmann have not arrived. Tarpon Springs, a full crew on hand, the Browns have settled down to hard work.

HUDKINS IN GOOD WITH COAST FANS Papers Playing Ace up as Real Him as a Lightweight Champ Possibility. Ace Hudkin.s is keeping in the lime light in The fight fans on the coast are boosting him as the coming lightweight champion of the world.

The Los Angeles Times In Its column under the caption has the following to say of the Nebraska lad: "This young man Ace Hudkins certainly Is coming along nicely In his drive for a crack at the lightweight championship. be a big figure If he won the title and would be Just what the fighting game needs real hometown hero. Considering that Mr. Hudkins blew In from the wilds of Nebraska not long since, It does sound a little foolish to call him a hometown hero for Los Angeles, but just what be. Hudkins rolled in here along with a lot of other live stock disguised as pugilists.

But Ace was different from the rest of could really fight. He started in without much tooting of trumpets and really so seriously regarded until a couple of months ago. when he gave Tommy Carter a trimming and removed the coast lightweight crown from his noble dome. Los Angeles Claims Him. "But Ace is local in the fact that he came here an absolute unknown as Ad Wolgast did many years developed into a real championship possibility right under our eyes.

Ace may have done most of his fighting In and around Nebraska, but he'll always remember that It was in Southern California that he really became a prospect for Benny much-wanted lightweight title. Hudkins has many of the attributes of a champion. He can take on the chin and body without flinching and he hands out a beating that not everybody would care to absorb. On top of that he is a natural lightweight, making 135 pounds without having to weaken himself very much. a big advantage to a man who has to fight at the limit.

He's strong at the proper weight and he can demand weight of the other fellow. Benjamin-Hudkint. "The Hudkins-Benjamln trouble will unquestionably be settled before very long and a huge crowd will turn out to see It. Benjamin Is sure to draw well, chiefly because there are a lot of people who like him and who hope to see him beaten. Nobody knows this better than the Stockton sheik himself, and he rather glories in the WEIR MAKES RECORD.

Ed Weir, Husker star hur- dier, made the low hurdles on the indoor track at the stadium Wednesday night in 6 seconds flat, equalling the record for the event.
