Frazce Has Other
Deals in Mind?
I--.. II In n.ioran. the
firmer Philadelphia third baseman,
obtained by the Ked Sox in a trade
which sent Roger Teckinpaugh to the
Washington club, probably will be
iransferred to shortstop for next
mason's play, Manager Duffcy said
today.
With Eddie Foster to cover third
I'Ese, Boston is protected at that
corner, but the recent transfer of
Everett Scott to New York left a
gap at short. .
The fact that Boston chose Frank
O'Rourke, regular . shortstop for
Washington most of last season, as
the other player in trade for Peckin
paugh, caused consideration by local
writers of the possibility that Presi
dent Fazee had anohtcr trade in mind,
'i he New York Americans had
offered $50,000 to Philadelphia for
Dugan and with O'Rourke available
to complete the Reo Sox infield, it
was thought Dugan might be made
trc subject of another transaction.
Coach Perfects
Five-Man Defense
An impregnable five-man defense

After seeing his cagers trim Sut

promise of developing this defense to
perfection than any squad he has had
under his wing in several years.
This week the coach is working
them overtime on the same defense.
No shifts in the lineup have been
made as a result of the initial game.
Keyt and Reynolds are performing

Square garden on March 17. 1922.
"With all due renpect to Mr. l-ul-ton
and li manager," said a nice
looking gentleman as he read of thff
announcement, "I hope the Irish will
arise in a body and prevent the
desecration of the birthday of Ire
land's patron saint by the bringing
off on that day of a fight such a one
between Fulton and Dempsey would
be, provided it was pulled off on th
kvel."
The gentleman did not stop there,
but went into almost a frenzy at th?
idea of any such battle being pulled
off on St. Patrick's day.
There are others who probably feci
as the good old Irishman did about
it, but they will probably not be 0
open in declaring themselves.
Fight Wouldn't Dra.
As a matter of fact, there appears
no reason on earth why Fulton and
Dempsey should be matched again.
There is no more reason why they
should fight for the heavyweight
championship of the world than that
there should be a meeting between
Dempsey and any other unknown
fighter. A-fight between Dempsey
and an unknown, in fact, woud havs
a far better chance of drawing a
crowd and obtaining some newspa
per notoriety than a fight between
Dempsey and Fulton, for they have
met before, and on that occasion
they proved that Fulton had n
more ohance against Dempsey than
has the proverbial snowball in that
warm place.
When Dempsey and Fulton last
met Jack sent Fred down in 26 sec
onds, and once down Fred took
good care not to get up again.
Veteran fight writers like Eat
Masterson declared the entire affair
a deliberate fraineup, and all sorts
of people declared it a regular lay
down on the part of Fulton.
Fulton Wise Guy.
But they were probably mistakeu
about that.
When Jack delivered his first
clout, Fulton probably discovered
that he was no match for his op
ponent, and for that good reason
laid on his back the first opportu
nity and stayed there until the ref
eree had finished the count.
. Fulton, who had up to this meet
ing with Jack beaten several good
men, was one fighter whom Jack
Kearns, manager of Dempsey,
looked on as an easy mark for the
champion.
Night and day Kcams toiled to
get Dempsey in the ring with Ful

claiming the championship.
Kearns was always certam Demp

Tony Stecher Comes to Bat

Business With
By RALPH WAGNER.
LIKE has ceased to be a bed o( sweet jmiMnjr rose for
Joe Stecher, former world' heavyweight wrestling
champion, and one of Nebraska' "popular wrestlers.
It's all because (Jene Melady, manager of Earl Cud
dock and "Fat" McGill, wrestlers, and "Farmer" Hums, man.
ager of Charlie Hansen, have said unkind thing about Joe
and Brother Tony.

match with Joe Stethrr. That chal

champion, and McUdy knew it.
Second :
Says Joe Ran Out.
Melady, in a published letter, say
that Stcchrr ran out of a match
with Karl Caddock, another former
champion, because he (Stecher)
would not content to grapple un
der the rolling and pin fall style of
wrmtling. .
The truth of the matter is. gentle
readrr, that if Stecher hadn't re
fused to wrestle under the above
mentioned terms, Caddock would.
So there you are.
Because Stecher was first to re
fute to wrestle under the rolling
fall system of mat work, Melady
takes advantage of this and declares
that Joe ran out of a match,
Melady's announcement that
Stecher ran out of a match with
Caddock, didn't hurt the Dodge,
Neb., wrestler until he returned to
his home.
Once inside the city limits of
Dodge he was made the target of
much criticism. His friends had
read Melady's letter and wanted to
know why Joe was afraid 'to wres

Joe and Toney hopped a local and
came to Omaha.

After Hall ended hostilities in the

He called The Bee sports editor.
"Hello," came a voice over the

round. And by the way, how did
Logan and Schlaifer come out?"
This was a shock to the sport
editor. Regaining his composure,
he asked:

"Just hit me on the jaw," was the
frank reply.

Thus, did Brother-manager Tony

Now for Melady and Burns.

two ribs caved in. Hall had been
"tipped" to this, and when in the
fourth round the Iowa battler put in
a terrific jab to the ribs, "Kappy"

tactics, and in his pain, grabbed his
injured side. Hall took advantage
of his guard being lowered and shot
