Bivins, . weighing 187$ opened fast to take the first five rounds from Murray an advan tage he needed during the latter stages of the fight. It waa the 14th consecutive victory for the Cleveland Negro since he dropped a decision to Bob Pastor here in the spring of 1842. The decision was unanimous but drew such a chorus of booing trom tne packed house, which coptributed more than $56,000 to me annual unnstmas toy fund sponsored by the Cleveland News, that a re-match seemed certain. Bivins appeared to be coast ing to ah easy victory over nis taller, 200-pound opponent until the sixth round, when Murray Jolted him with a powerful right uppercut which opened a bad cut over his left eye and both ered him through the remainder of the fight After that blow. Bivins alnuwd down considerably and was an easy target for Murray's right hand Jab, a blow he used fre quently in the latter stages of the fight after reverting to his natural southpaw style. ' Despite the cut, Bivins waged an aggressive fight, although he appeared helpless at times dur ing the seventh and eighth rounds. The only thing that saved him from a knockout was that the arm-weary challenger lacked the endurance to put over telling blow after setting Biv ins up for such a punch. The United Press scored the first five rounds for Bivins, gave Murray tne sixth, seventh and eighth and called the last two even. BIG TEN STARTS Chicago. Dec.

BRAMHAM AGAIN NAMED PREXY OF MINOR LEAGUES Opposition to Him and Lan- dis Squelched Small Loops Win Victories. Br Glaa Parkin (United Press Correspondent) New York. Dec. J. (U.R) The minor leagues, still stealing the fireworks from the majors aa baseball's annual mid-winter meeting prepared today to con clude one of the bitterest bat lea in diamond history by call- on Judge Keneeaw M. Landis, high commissioner of the sport. for assistance. Too action of the minora y terday was highlighted by the somewhat peculiar re-election of Judge William C. Bramham fo his third five-year term as pre sident of the National Associa tion of Professional Baseball Leagues the governing body of the minor circuits by a vote of 18 to 0. The much talked of opposi tion to Bramham and to Landis was so thoroughly squelched st yesterday's session that rival factions did not even propose the name of their candidate. Frank J. Shaughnessy, president of the International league, for nomination. Bramham. in reality, re elected himself and in his action forced the routed opposition to take their troubles to Landis, whom they also oppose, for a possible reprieve. Reverse Decision The czar of the minors put himself into office by simply reversing his own prior decision and ruling that the IS non operative leagues would be per mitted to vote at th-'j year's convention. In the uproar that followed, Bramham told ob jectors they could appeal to the floor if they wished. Headed by the three double "A" clubs, the American association, the International league and the Pacific Coast league, the opposi tion did appeal to the floor the same 18 clubs which the Judge had Just given the right to vote and who, quite natur ally, supported him all down the line. Shaughnessy said after the reversal that his faction would not take the decision "lying down" and appealed last night to Judge Landis. Landis list ened -to the argument for two hours and said he would an nounce his decision today, prob ably before- the minor league session reconvenes. Practically the only "victory" the upper class minors achieved was a recess until 10 a. m. to day so that they could rally their forces for a last ditch fight It was believed only re motely possible that Landis would reverse the ruling. Another victory for .the little clubs was achieved when the convention voted to retain the present major minor league agreement tor another year the document by which Landis holds his power over all organ ized baseball. A proposal that it be allowed to expire, submit ted by George Trautman, presi dent of the American associa tion, was voted down. Vote Sam Slate The opening of the major leagues separate sessions saw both circuits vote to play a 134- game schedule again this season, although the American league favored a compression of the season to 22 weeks, opening a week later and closing a week earlier. The National league favored the regular 24-week season, but it Is believed that an agreement will be reached today.
