LOOKS LIKE PBZSS W0EK New York, July 22.-Why does Fred Fulton claim the heavyweight title? he asks in .the opening of a cir cular letter, and then answers his own question in his own wayi The rest answer probably is that a scheme is under way to stall off adverse criti- ciim of the one-sided affair which is to be pulled off at the close of the circus season. Aa the matter stands, no one ex cept the two fighters and their back' era wants this match, which look! to be no more promising now than it did last year at New Orleans. Something must be done to pull the wool over the eyes of the public or the match will be laughed our of existence again ai it wai laat spring and this is it. If Fulton were in earnest and really believes that he had a chance of laining something more than a fat oser'a end. he would soend the sum mer months disposing of some of the live contenders, so that when Wil- lard's hsnds are free in the fall he would be in a nosition to. demand the match as his right But nothing is more clesr than that f ulton hat no idea of attackmi a good man. AI though there are at least four heavy weights whose records are by long odds better than Fulton's none of them is thousht to be a fair match for the champion, so it is hard to see where he comes in. According to Fulton, Harry Sher man. tha Minneanolis nromoter. of fered purse of $50,000 for the bout, fif this turn Fulton would have re ceived one-third, which explains his desire to enter the ring with the champion. One-third of $50,000 is mora mottev than Fulton is likely to earn in a year boxing setups of the type ot those wno aaorn nis rccora. B-.iiVi.

Score, 6 to 3. The Brandets misplays were di rectly responsible for every run scored by the colored men while Khoae wn toiling on the slab. The Giants were also guilty of a few faux pass, but were fortunate in having them orcur when there was little danger. Rhode pitched a good enough game to win sny battle, permitting but six scattered hits and did not isshe a pass. He uncorked a couple of wild pitches, however, that resulted in runs, ilia opponent, alick bam Simpson held the Brandeis in check with the exception of the seven, when wallops by Novitsky, Lawler and Sutej intermingled with a pair of mis- cues resulted in three runs for the local semi-pros. Olson Goes In. The Giants manufactured two runs in the third on one hit and counted two more in the sixth without the aid of a safe hit. Olson relieved Rhode in the seventh and yielded one run.

OLD HAN WAGNER STILLHOLDS ON Veteran Honus, In Forty-third Tear, Continues to Keep Up With Major League Face. REAL BASE BALL WONDER New York, July 29. Wagner, in his forty-third year and twentieth in uni form, betokens no going back or slip of the veteran to date. He still has an eye for the ball, evidenced by his improved stickwork in 1915, when he batted .276 and gained twenty points r 1914. His record, when he batted JOO or over for seventeen con secutive years, was surpassed only by Captain Anson, and a big part of that hitting was not in the National league. Six other great hitters trailed Wag: ner in consecutive batting. They are Dan JSrouthers, Willie Keller, Hugh Duffy, Jessie Burkett and Ty Cobb. Wagner's sensational fielding has brought fans into frenzies. Ihe Dutchman covers ground wonder fully, i Business Manager shettsltne of the Phillies told of a play by Wagner on the Phillies' grounds and calls it the greatest he ever saw. One man was out and the Phils a run behind. With Magee on. Honus clayed for the plate. Lobert hit a fly twenty feet behind second. Wagner scooted back; he couldn't turn and the ball arched itself in front of him. But he ran with the ball that he could not see. The great base ball instinct that directs his every move took him to the spot and he stretched out his hand. The ball fell in his grasp and he turned a complete somersault, but held the ball. Magee was twenty feet down the line, but seeing Wag' ner s arm ooised for a Jhrow. he treated and scampered back to third, for the Dutchman's throw was as true as a die. The ball traveled on a line and went straight to the plate in Gib- by s mitt. He threw trom a sitting posture and the catch waa made blindly. Chief Meyers' Tale. Chief Mevers relates a thrilling nlav in New York in 1911. Uevlin was on second, Meyers up and a new white ball in play. Meyera streaked one like lightning past tnird. scoot inor in lentr strides. Honus dived, smothered the ball in his .glove and threw it back-handed and blindly sauare in Byrne s glove. JJevlin slid intn th- hall. "Most daziling fielding stunt in the game's history, and .there'll never be snnthar Wianar." aaid MeverS- A lot of amusement grew out ot tne story that Matty watches the feet of Honus. when he pitches. Honus was cartooned in many amusing batting postures. They had bis big. brogans rnnrmled in wash boilers, 'buckets, paper bags, burlap bags and every known creation, as nonus went. bat the crowd yelled, "Matty,, watch h! fMt ." Honus wiggled his left heel amus ingly at the crowd and is.uuu uotnam game lovers roared with laughter. Mattv ont Honus in a hole. The ball shot like a cannon ball and banged a siirn in deeo left, three feet trom the top of the fence. The ball came near going into Eighth avenue, and this would have made a world'a record, as it never had been done. FABZE BACK IN; THE. BOX Chicago, July 29. Chicago gained two full games on the league leaders today when the won a double header from Philadelphia, 6 to 1 and 6 to 4, while New York dropped two games to St. Louis. Everv Chicacro run in the initial game was helped around by an error, though Myers' wildness was a big factor.

Tulv 29. Less Darcy the Australian champion and sensa tion of the boxing game, will not meet an American fighter on American soil until the European war is over. Tucked in his jeans are tickets for his passage to this country, but it is teamed from Jack Kearns, the San Francisco manager, who was to nan' die the .treat Australian in this coun try, that he will not come right away, and the real reason will not be known until the Sonoma, the boat on which Darcy was to have sailed, reaches this country. "I have Just received a cable from Darcy," writes Kearns, "that it ia im possible for him to leave the country at this time. He was to have Bailed on the Sonoma on June 21, bnt it was probably the military conditions, which hold all Australians between the ages of 18 and 45, from leaving their country. . : - "Darcy first cabled me that he could arrange to set away, and so I fixed it up with Harry Poliok, the manager of the Washington Park Shooting club of Brooklyn, to get the great fighter here to meet Jack Dillon. Tickets were sent the Australian. But I will not know the full particulars until the Sonoma gets in.

Freddie Welsh is becoming more shameless every day. His latest offense was to match himself with that oldelic of the ring who flourished when Terry McGovern still was fighting in good form, Tom my Murphy. This hears out the opinion that Welsh deliberately goes out of his way to look for roasts. Adverse criticism is the only kind of advertising Welsh can hope for, so the more he roasted the better he is pleased. The only thing he fears is that he will be forgotten and not receive any mention whatever. Welsh is not the only fighter who finds it profitable to be unpopular, but he is the only genuine champion who has been forced to descend to such methods. Al McCoy, while not a regular champion, .makes capital out of his ludicrous attempts to act like one, the fans always turning out in tne nope ot seeing the pretender flattened for the full count. Welsh Drobablv has no idea nf an. ing through with the Murphy affair. He knows very well it would not draw enough to pay for the preliminary bouts. Welsh's obiect mav be to stir un interest in another local bout with Benny Leonard. Tudgint; bv the press stuff that has been sent out trom the headquarters of late the way is being paved for another no-decisinn affair. There is no doubt that Welsh fears Leonard as an opponent in a decision bout, but there seems to be no particular reason why he should advertise the fate unless it is to in crease the receipts when they meet at Washington park in the near future. Mystery Around Bout. There was a great deal of mvsterv connected with the proposed match between these men which was sched uled a few weeks ago. When Leon ard tried to call it off on the ground that he was matched with Johnny Dundee, Welsh's manager appeared before the boxing commission and obtained a ruling in his favor. Yet Welsh evidently had no idea of fight ing, for he never did a day's training and was in such poor shape thit he' probably would have been knocked out if he had gone on. It was also clear that the bout would have been a financial failure, because it was billed for the same week as the Leonard-Dundee match at the Madison Square Garden. The club continued to advertise the bout right up to the day of the Dundee affair, and then immediately loJt in terest and let the matter drop. It looked as though some one was vent ing his spite against the Garden club. After the Dundee bout Leonard's manager tried to force Welsh to go through with his agreement, but this time the boxing solons were looking out the window and lilion received no encouragement It was a remark able reversal of form and no explana tion has as yet been ottered to clear up the mystery as to what was actual ly going on under the surface.
