attached. so Wlllard'a newly acquired
heavyweight championship la really In
the balance.
On that aame date, December 10. the
name of Wlllard'a prospective opponent
will be announced to a palpitating; popu
lace. And many varirgatel faces and
forma paa In review before our mind
eye aa we peer Into the future and try

I'rank Moran. Jim foffey and Fred Ful
.on have been exploited aa the "logical"
opponent for Willard In the forthcoming'
lattle. And at once we are Impelled to
eliminate the names of foffey and Ful
ton, for there la nothing In tho record of
either to warrant a match with the cham
pion. And this In spite of the fact that
It looks aa If Fulton will ultimately he
selected aa the other principal In the big
bout.
Coffey and Fulton, If we go on their
records, practically eliminate themselves,
even before they are considered. There
re several reasons why Coffey Is not
deserving of consideration. "The first Is

three rounds; the others don't count.

Fulton has done all of hla fighting,
such as It Is. In the middle west, and
with Indifferent success. It took him
fourteen rounds to atop Arthur Pelkey,
nd It was a technical knockout at that.
Fulton dropped Pelkey twelve times In
this last round, but could not muster one

the referee stopped the tight. And Oof fey

Moran. well. Frank la a good-natured
big fellow, but we have our doubts If, ho

that reason may not bo given considera

nd the promoters will have an eye on
the office when they gather to nme Wll
lard'a foe. He must be a good drawing
card In New Orleana before he can hope
to get the n atch. Willard has no say In
the selection of his opponent. The pro
moters attonded to that end of the mat
ter. They have empowered themselves
to name any man of their liking.
It must be remembered that Domlnlck
Tottorlch and Tommy Burns are running
this affair. Tommy Burns Is Indirectly
responsible for Willard holding the cham
pionship today. He Is the same Tommy
. Burns who relinquished hla title to Jauk
Johnaon some years ago. And now Burn
Is promoting a match with the champion
ship Involved.
Haras May Try.
.A lurking suspicion here enters our
cupola. What Is there to prevent the
same Tommy Burns from being Wlllard'a
opponent? Uurna la courageous enough
to try It. And he Is vain enough to at
tempt It, too. Little Burns had no fear
of big Johnson, and did not yield bis title
to the burly black until after fourteen
rounds of furious fighting.
Another angle that strengthens the sus
picion thut Tortorlch and Bums nay

twenty rounds, and there Is a deoiatoa

Ritchie Admits He
Is a Welterweight
NEW YORK. Nov. W.-Wlllle Ritchie,
former lightweight champion of the
world, haa been convinced by the sport
writers of the eaat that he has put
grown th lightweight division. Ritchie
therefor la willing to sail under welter
weight specifications In the future, pro-,
vlded he la not asked to waive the pro
verbial pound of flesh with hla opponents
at the heavier ' weight. '
"I still can make the lightweight limit
r aa least go as far towards It as most
of the men who pose aa llghtwelghta,"
said Ritchie. "But still I realise that
I can fight better, perhaps. If I do not
get down that fine. Wherefore, I am
ready to challenge for the welter
title. Leclttmate llghtwelghta object to

It is a safe bet that there la going to
be a whole lot of dissension among the
foot ball experts when It comes to choos

Amerlcan eleven.

fewer entries than this year, there was a

of a new star In . Johnny Ertl has

th doings of the midgets creates little
excitement Aa a rule their bouts are
harmless affairs, and until lately Kid
Williams so completely dominated ths

But of late Williams has suffered sev

From what has been seen of Ertl he
Is likely to make a very satisfactory
champion. He Is a most Interesting little
fellow of the purely fighting type. If he
were a lightweight or even a feather he
would be a tremendous sensation. Even
for a bantam Ertl Is ridiculously small.
He Is a full head shorter than the or

While Ertle's marfner of coming Into

FEDS WILL HAYE TO HURRY
If They Intend to Erect Base Ball
Plant on Manhattan Island
Before April.
DEAL IS QUITE A MYSTERY
NEW TORK. Nov. If the Federal
league erects a base ball plant on Man
hattan capable of seating 56,000 people, as
Mr. Gllmore announces, and has It ready
for the opening in April. It wtll have to
hustle.
Several of th leading real estate men
who have been dickering with Captain
Huston and Colonel Ruppert on a site
for the Tanks' park, say that no transfer
of property has been mad to ths Feds
and, as far as they have! been able to
ascertain, they hold no option. Mora
over, they claim that there art but three
! accommodate a plant of that sise and
thnt optlon, hav, jeen aeoured a
thu h in...t.
The spots referred to are Manhattan
field, on which the Giants have a claim
under their lease of the Polo grounds;
the vacant land at 145th str et and Lenox
avenue, and a block of property near the
foot of West Forty-second street.
Of course, there are any number of
available sites In the Bronx and on Long
Island, but Gllmore stated specifically
that the new park would be on Manhat
tan Island.
Still, these Feds have a way of doing
the most unexpected. Fans will remem
ber how the Warda erected a plant at
Washington park, Brooklyn, In a hurry.
A surpilslng detail of Mr. G.lmore's
announcement Is that "Jitney" prices will
prevail at Manhattan, despite the fact
that Phil Ball haa decided to discontinue
them at 8t. Louis. Men who understand
the financial difficulties of those things
say that It will be Impossible, to pay the
Interest on an investment of that magni
tude in New York with admission prices
ranging from ltf centa to 60 cents. The
Giants could not do It and neither could
the Yanks. And air. Gllmore claims that
the Fed players will be paid as much
money as those In ."the other two major
leagues." . .
There appears to be considerable my
tery attached to the , ownership of the
New York Federal league, club. It Is
understood that Harry Sinclair, with the
aid of some backers heretofore unknown
to the game, wants to undertake th Job
and keep his Newark plant, at the same
time. .One of the plana la. for the New
York. club to play Sunday base ball by
transferring those games to' New Jersey.
It la not admitted, however, that Mr.
Sinclair Is to be the New York magnate
and fans await the formal announcement
wun considerable curiosity.
