BELGIAlSPEEO .
DEMON BOOSTER
OF BOXING GAME
Arthur Duray Attributes the
Awakening of French Na
tion to Athletic Possibili
ties to Ring Sport.
By RINGSIDER.
Chicago, June 22. Boxing is paid
high tribute by Alfred Duray, famous
Belgian automobile driver, who is in
Chicago to enter the fourth auto
derby here. To it he attributed the
awakening of the French nation to its
athletic possibilities and the new
fighting spirit which is bringng glory
to ts sturdy people.
Duray tells entertaining stories of
athletes and sportsmen abroad, as
well as stories of the war, in which.
he haa seen much active service.
Boxing is an avocation with him
He loves it, he says, but did not learn
to do so until American promoters
introduced it among the French. He
has often worn the gloves, and has
met several notables In the boxinR
world, including Georges Carpentier
pronounced Ko-pon-sh-ay whom
he believes one of the greatest fight'
ing men in the ring, and out.
"I saw Georges just before sailing
from France for America," he said in
an interview- 1 "He was in Paris on
furlough ad seemed in the best of
shape. I spoke of boxing, but he said
he has put it out of his mind for the
present, although he has had the
gloves on several times in aviation
stamps to steady his nerves and keep
himself in condition.
"He would not take on any ring
matches, however, as long as the war
lasts, even if he could get permis
sion. Punches Lightly.
"To have had the honor to box with
him I consider a great pleasure, for
he is the greatest athlete in the world.
I believe. He never punches hard in
a friendly bout, but he caught me a
couple of what he probably consid
ered light ones on the nose what
power there was back of them I
"It is true the French people idol
ize .him, but it must not be forgotten
that they have other good boxers in
all the different classes. Many have
been taken by the war, but they are
all brave men and never hesitated to
take up arms 'pour la France.' "
Boxing, Duray said, has been
adopted in the French army as in the
American camps, and that is con
sidered one of the greatest relaxa
tions for soldiers.
Fulton In Training
The Fourth of July bout which he
is to put on with Jack Dempsey has
called Fred Fulton into hard train
ing. This means that the Minnesota
lanky's injured hand has healed, and
! that he is ready for action in earnest.
Most of his training his manager
Mike Collins, announces will occur
in New York, in order to stimulate
interest there in the. bout.
Dempsey's manager, Jack Kearns,
is hopeful, sending word from "some
where in the west," where the con
testant for honors is boxing daily,
that there is little work necessary to
make the fighter fit. Kearns adds that
Dempsey will tip 190 pounds when he
squares off in the rin?.
It is understood that in this bout,
which is a heavyweight elimination
contest the purse of $25,000 will be
split fifty-fifty between the men.
Lewis and Tillman.
Ted Lewis and Johnny Tillman,
Minneapolis welterweights, who put
on a welterweight championship bout
at Denver recently, have been invited
to St. Paul to stage a ten-round fight
the latter part of June. Acceptance
or agreement has not yet been made
public.
Boost for Cline.
"Skill? Well, he is one of the most
skillful kids I ever saw."
"Irish Patsy" Cline of New. York
was the subject and Nate Lewis was
speaking after watching the comical
lad go through a few stunts in train
in a.
You can afford to watch "Patsy,"
therefore, for Nate Lewis, who has
not only seen all the great boxers in
action in the last twenty-five years,
but has handled two of the chief con
tenders for the lightweight title Kid
Herman and Charley White knows
what he s talking about
Cline and hit manager. Harry Pol
lok, dropped into Chicago for an
afternoon to eive Patsv some ioint-
loosening exercises. He had boxed
Battline Thoroe and Timmv Hanlon
in Joplin, Mo., and Des Moines, la.,
and was on his way to Buffalo to take
on Jimmy Duffy of Lockport tor a
ten-round party.
Twenty Yearn Old.
Patsy is 20 years old and a boxer
for all of his years. He is said to
be coming into his own that he
was never content with being a great
boxer, but wants to be known world
wide as great fiehter.
And he's doing it, too. Back of a
fine, square, look-you-in-the-face jaw
there flits a whimiscal smile that
says, "I'm really good natured,
though here to fight." He is comical
in talk and is constantly turning a
auio or jest. He talks everything but
fight, which he doesn't have to talk,
because hit fasti Uk care of that.

KAUFF DELIVERS
GOODS IN MAJORS
DESPITE KNOCKS
Giant Outfielder May Never
Realize Ambition to Be
Champion Batsman, But
He Was a Star.
By JACK VEIOCK.
New York, June 22. Little Benny
Kauff may never attain his ambition
to become king of the batsmen in the
major leagues, for he has answered
the call to the colors, and is prepar
ing to take his part in the big world's
scries across the Atlantic.
But though Kauff may never enjoy
the realization of being the leading
batsman in base ball, he can find
consolation in the fact that he made
good as a major leaguer, despite the
prophecies of a good many of his
critics, who said he did not hace the
class.
Donned In the khaki of Uncle
Samuel'i national army, Kauff can
look back at his major league days
with a smile and say:
'Tproved myjright to a big league
job. I made good."
And Kauff certainly did make good
with the Giants, the club that he al
ways wanted to play with since' he
broke in as a bush leaguer.
Stands for Jibes.
During his Federal league days
Kauff's success as a batsman con
vinced him that he could deliver the
goods in any league. A good manyj
II .III Bu
eople thought he was swelled on
imself. and because he was often
misquoted by certain scribes the im -
pression gained strength. The result
was that Kautt had to stana tor many
a jibe and a great deal of kiddihg
that would have discouraged the
average ball player and ruined his
chances of sticking in the majors,
But Benny simply gritted his teeth,
. .i j . j
tAfttf tA.iin n mr inn mm in inn bbiq
to himself: "I'll show 'em I" And he
showed 'em.
Keeps On Plugging.
He found the pitching much better
in the majors than that which he had
been used to in the Federal league,
but it made no difference in his de
termination to bat and field hii way
to stardom. He just kept on plug
haa natural ability as . a
ivauu
hitter, fielder and base runner, and)
behind that he haa unlimited nerve.
He had always aspired to some day
usurp the thrones of such start aa Ty
Cobb and Tris Speaker, and he never
gave up.
Now that his base bait career has
been halted, temporarily, at least, he
will have to satisfy nit ambitious
nature by making good as a soldier,
and if we know anything about
Benny he'll make good, and then
some.

EFFECT OF HEAP
OVER SAND LOTS
Two Games End in SquabblesO
and Protests to Directors;-
Hot Games . for-Today.
By FRANK QUIGLEY.
The Murphy Did Its stepped info
the wrong pew by virtue or an error iv
last Sunday. It was reported that,,,
the C. B. Longeways received a whal-"V,
ing by the Krajiceks but just the op '
posite happened. The real score wa"-'
2 to 1, in favor of the Longewaysr
Said victory produced transportation
to position one for the LongewayO
In the future probably the Longeways,';.'
will be able to find one gent on their ','
squad who has enough pep left after,,
a tough struggle to call the. writer '
and cough up the correct score.
The game as turned in was slipped
to the gent behind the counter at the h
base ball headquarters and his koowl-
edge was utilized when several phone.?
calls failed to unearth a confirmation-'?
of the clerk's report. All team min-'t' .
agers are again urgently requested ,
to report their games on or-before
7 p. m. to Frank Qulgley at Douglas
