INSIDE STUFF ON GOTHAM BOXING:
SLIP TWO HURLERS NO-HIT GAMES
Ringside Spins Yarn of How
Promoters Frame on Fred
Fulton in Order to Kill
Minnesotan.
By RINGSIDE.
Chicago, May 26. It is becoming
more and more evident why Governor
Whitman of New York, especially,
and itate executives in general; are
down on the fight game.
A case in Doint the insirle etr,r f
the recent Fred Fulton-Carl Morris
go, won Dy Morris.
Early in the year Fred Fulton's
stock began soaring. He was touted
by many as the only man who could
take Jess Willard's measure. In each
fight he showed up a little better
than before.
It was not long until there was a
clamor from the fans for a match be
tween the Minnesota plasterer and
the world's champion. The result was
a statement by VVillard that it was up
to Fulton to beat the best of the field
aspiring to the crown, and then he
, would talk business.
This Fulton did in ranid nrrW until
Carl Morris remained about the only
eligible left to tight. And here is
wiiere the story really begins.
Fulton, it seems, was willing to
wait awhile to see how Morris was
going, but some promoters down m
New York thought differently. They
not only thought he should fight
Morris quickly, but that Morris should
end for all time his aspirations for
the championship.
Thereupon they began casting about
for a go between Morris and some
other scrapper in which Morris would
put up a miserable showing. Fulton,
thinking Morris would be easy money,
then could be easily induced to enter
the ring with him.
Pick Mystery Man.
For an opponent the promoters
picked a mysterious person from no
where and began calling him the
money. He was a whirlwind, about
the fastest thing that had come to
' New York in a decade. So the fight
world, including Fulton, picks up its
ears and waits eagerly for the con
test. The night of the fight comes. Fred
Fulton and his manager saunter up
to the box office.
Do we need seats? they ask.
"Oh, no," replied the box office
man. "Special seats are reserved for
you. so r red and his manager, seat
ed by the ringside, glimpse the show.
Carl enters the ring. His belt is so
tight that folds of fat roll over him
and the fans begin to talk about it.
They don't hesitate to say that he
hasn't trained for the conflict, and
that he isn't a real scrapper, anyway.
ihats all right as tar as Larl is con
cerned, because he wants to create
an out-of-condition appearance.
Then in comes the mysterious no
body from nowhere. He looks the
money, and the fans have it settled
already.
The fight begins. In the first round
the mysterious nobody simply slaps
Carl all around the ring. In the sec
ond he repeats the dose. In the
third Morris does a little better, but
in the fourth his opponent resumes
the offensive, slams over a foul, Carl
crumples up and the bout is over.
Somehow or others the promoters
just ran into Fulton the next day.
They immediately began to talk lip a
match between Fulton and Morris.
Willard, they said, would insist that
he fight Morris just because the lat
ter was claiming the right for a whack
at the title, and, besides, Morris would
be easy money.
The outcome? There could be only
one. The match was arranged and
fought. Morris literally licked the
stuffin' out of the would-be champion
and sent him back to comparative
oblivion.
While Fulton went into the fight
with his eyes open, and there is not
much sympathy for him where- the
inside story has been known, the con
duct of the promoters obviously was
one that would tend further to blacken
the game.
Small wonder that Whitman and a
lot more governors have no love for
the ring pastime.
New Bantam Sensation.
With the bantamweight division
just now in the limelight, Harry
Hughes, a former Chicago newspaper
man, but now a New York traveler,
comes forth with a man he thinks is
going to do wonders among the pee
wees. "I want to make a bid for notice
for one of the scrappiest little scrap
pers that ever entered a ring," he said.
"That man is Toe Burman, the Chi
cago boy who lias been making good
with such a vengeance in the east
Iate,y- I t, c- i,
"His manager,- Dave Simons, has
commissioned me to challenge either
Pete Herman or Johnny Coulon. This
kid certainty is entitled to a crack at
the crown, for he is the greatest sen
sation in peewee ranks.
Willie Astey, cuiy r-uzsmimuus,
Young johnny Solsberg, Jimmy Mur
ray and Dutch Brandt have all been
included in the complement of lads
Burman has defeated. Brandt, it will
be recalled, gave Pete the battle of
his life, and yet against Joe Burman
Brandt was helpless."
Ritchie Mitchell may meet Joe
Mandot in New1 Orleans soon. Man
dot has been going along so well that
Promoter Tortorich has decided to
have the southern boy meet the Mil
waukee lightweight for a finish scrap.
The winner may then be matched
with Freddie Welsh.
fCicotte and Koob Sneak In
Hall of Fame While Door
Keeper Is' Pounding
His Ear.
By JACK VELOCK.
New York, May 26. Two pitchers
credited with no-hit games by the
official scorers in the American
league this season seem to have
slipped through the door of the Hall
ot fame while the doorkeeper was
puunanig nis nonoraDie ear.
Reports from St Louis indicate
mac naa not the scorers been very,
very lenient with Eddie fientt. .nH
Ernie Koob, their no-hit games would
nave gone cown in the records as one-
hit games. All of which indicates
inat tne omcial scorers, even in th
Dig leagues, are prone to concede
point here and there to help the
pitcners put over a hitless contest.
There wasn't much said regard
the game Eddie Cicotte pitched
against me nrowns on April 14, toi
the only batted ball that really re
sembled a hit, according to all re
ports, came near the end of the rnh.
test when Eddie was roosting on the
threshold of the coveted troal. and
tne scribes calmly marked down an
error when Jimmy Austin smashed a
hot drive :it Chick Gandil, which was
fast enough to have torn a leg off
mat eminent nrst sacker. It that
batted ball was as fast and hard to
held as one St. Louis scribe has hint
ed, then Eddie Cicotte's no-hit game
was in reality a cne-hit game and he
Dreezea mrough because ot the ca
pable assistance of the scribes.
rirst reports on tne no-hit game
credited to Ernie Koob gave him
credit for a one-hit game. Later, it
is said, tne omcial scorer, after inter
viewing the members of both teams
and the umpires m charge that day,
ucimcu iu give plood creuii tor s
no-hit game against his better judg
ment.
Called Hit at First.
Pirates After Altenberg
To Hold Young Lee King
The Pittsburgh club arranged a
deal for Pitcher Duster Mails to go to
Birmingham, but he said he couldn t
stand the southern climate, so that
deal was called off and he was
shunted out to Portland in the Coast
league. Outfielder Jess Altenberg was
released to .Toronto of the Interna
tional league, much to the surprise of
Pittsburgh fans, who rated him a bet
ter outfielder than some of the mate
rial Callahan is keeping. The choice
with Callahan lay between Altenberg
and Lee King and the manager de
cided to retain King.
Handicap Match Against
Bogey for Women Monday
The Omaha Women's Golf asso
ciation will stage a handicap match
against bogey at the Omaha Field
club Mondav. This is the second of
the association's 1 monthly competi
tions. Par at the Feld club for wom
en is 83 and bogey is 97.
The play in question came when
Buck Weaver crashed a grounder to
Ernie Johnson, who was second-
sacking for Derrill Pratt, and Ernie,
say the reports, gave it a most valor
ous battle. He fielded it first with
his chest and knocked it down. Th
he picked the ball up, and with
scarcely time to throw, let it slip out
ot his hand and over his shoulder.
Then and there, it is said, the scribes
had argument, and finally the thing
was recorded as a hit.
As the game wore on and Koob
went through inning after inning
without allowing anything that looked
like a hit, 'the argument that had
come up m the first inning was re
newed and the scribes had it out
with the result aforementioned the
official scorer changing his first de
cision. First Judgment Best.
The average season base ball scribe
will a.srree that in practically ten
cases out of every ten the best judg
ment on a play is the first impression
of it. The official scorers should fol
low this rule invariably. They know
what the scoring rules permit and
how far they can go. They know
that many a batted ball is left to their
judgment, and it seams that in the
cases of both Koob and Cicotte snap
judgment would have been that the
batted balls in question should have
gone as hits plain, unadulterated
hits and nothing more.
If the official scorers are going to
console themselves by saying: "It
could have been scored either way,"
many a pitcher will get by with
no-hit game that he isn't entitled to.
Itk is not that the writer has any
thought of detracting from the hon
ors of either Cicotte or Koob, for
such superb pitching deserves only
the highest praise, but the fact re
mains that a hit is a hit, just the
same as "pigs is pigs," and you can't
get away from it.
Bransfield Making Good.
Old Kittv Bransfield is getting by
admirably as an umpire, and indica
tions are that he -will continue to
hold down his berth as long as he
renders the service he is giving in
the National league this season.
Bransfield's return to public notice
this ytar recalls the fact that as a
player he was a member of one of
the geratest infields the major
leagues have ever seen, an infield
which deserves or deserved more
credit than was given it as one of
the best ever gotten together.
In speaking of great infields, the
base ball scribes always enumerate
Anson, Pfeffer, Williamson and
Burns; Tenney, Lowe, Long and Col
lins: Doyle, Reitz, Jennings and Mc-
Graw; Chance, Evers, Tinker and
Steinheld; Mclnnis, Collins, Barry
and Baker. In all fairness it appears
that the Pirate four of IW3 should
be mentioned also.
This great old infield was com
posed of Bransfield, Ritchey, Wagner
and l.eacli. mere was quality mere,
all kinds of it. The members of that
old infield could hit the ball and field
better than the best of their day,
and collectively they were as great
as any other, if we are to believe the
old-timers who knew them in their
prime.
Varied Program of Sport

UST off the coffin, boys, they're going to hang crepe on the box fight
Dimness in Mew lork next November, the geose that laid the golden
egg is about all in. It will be a long line of mourners that will
trek out of the nation's metropolis next fall to seek other) fertile
pastures where the sucker crop still flourishes. It will be a sad pro
cession, for the other pastures are not so fertile as the great jay way. When
ever a slicker had a scheme on which the simon-pure simps out in the un
civilized and unsophisticated bush refuses to bite, he hiked for the big town
and the big town broke its neck in the fall. But no more, at least with the
prize ring gentry. Salty tears will be shed when the grand old graft is laid
on the shelf and the gay life ceased abruptly. Migration to a few spots here
Famous Athletes Barred from Plattsburg for Physical Reasons
;Xj?- ill"
The news that three of the greatest
athletes in Harvard university have
been rejected by United States army
examining physicians came like a
bolt from the blue. R. Norris Wil
liams, national tennis champion; Bill
Moore, Harvard's second best
sprinter, and Eddie Casey, of foot
ball fame, were turned down and
will be unable to join the officers'
training corps at Plattsburg because
of minor defects in their respective
physical make-ups.
All of which calls to mind the case
of Melvin W. Sheppard, the greatest
half-miler of his time. Peerless Mel,
back in 1908, wanted to be a police
man. He was at the time a member
of the track team of the Irish-Ameri
can Athletic club, and therefore eligi
ble in every way to become a member
of the finest body of police officers in
the world. Then came the physical
examination, and to the utter amaze
ment of-every one, and to Sheppard's
deep chagrin, the examining surgeon
rejected the great runner because he
had a "bad heart."
It was just a few weeks later that
Sheppard showed the world how
"bad his heart was by racing to
victory against the best middle dis
tance runners in the world at the
London Olympic games, winning the
800-metre and 1,500-metre champion
ships from the cream of England's
vaunted distancers. That 1,500-metre
struggle, often spoken of by Peerless
on fiapponingj n the
WORLD ofSPORT
and there m the west country where they don t bite so easily and where they
little return tor their money, or the free lunch trenches n all
demand a
that remains.
It's tough, boys; it's tough.
Mel as the hardest race he ever ran,
was test enough for the best heart
on earth. f
There's many an athletic champion
on sport's roster who could not pass
the army medical examination.
Dozens of them there are who have
slight imperfections, such as the one
that barred R. Norris Williams from
going to Plattsburg. Defective eye
sight is quite prevalent on the track.
Several runners who have won dis
tinction on the American cindtrpath
have but one eye to guide them. Both
Homer Baker and Harry Hillman
could never start in a race without
their specs. The same went for Frank
Waller of Milwaukee, former national
quarter-mile champion.
Buckles to Battle Thomas -In
Benefit for Guardsmen
A clash between Guy Buckles of
Omaha and Jack Thomas, said to be
the ex-champion of the Panama ca
nal zone, will be the feature attrac
tion of an athletic carnival to be held
by the soldier boys of Company B
at Camp Hamilton, the government
reservation at the east end of the
Union Pacific bridge. May 30.
Buckles and Thomas will travel
ten rounds and as both have been- ad
mitting confidentially to their friends
what they intend to do to the other
a warm conflict is anticipated.
Al Greenwood will go six rounds
with Bat Garrison. Two preliminary
boxing bouts between militiamen also
will be held and John Filler, wres
tling champ of the Fourth, will tan
gle with Joe Worton of Omaha on
the mat
More grief confronts Ham Patter
son, who for a couple of years cn-
ducted his "choke-'em when they're
down" policy in the Western league.
A Fort Worth copper has sued Ham
for $20,000 for injuries alleged to have
been received when Ham attacked the
officer who had been ordered to banish
Patterson from the park. Ham is find
ing that wild and woolly tactics don't
go so well in lexas as tney aid in
the Western and Coast leagues.
Sunday major league games are to
be played in the east for the benefit
of the Red Cross. Some day law
makers of the eastern states will tre-
ti're from the bigoted stand they have
taken and give Sunday ball a chance.
If put to a popular vote there is little
doubt that Sunday ball would be
legaljzed by as great majorities as
wnen tne people ot tne west piacea
their approval on the Sabbath game.
It will mean a lot to base ball when
this day comes. And it is coming
sooner or later, the benefit games for
the Red Cross is a step in the right
direction.
St. Joseph scribes are barking about
how rough and barbaric is the con
duct of Omaha fans, asserting
Omaha's base ball enthusiasts are
given to throwing cushions, pop bot
tles and the like. The St. Joseph gen
tlemen should visit Omaha. No city
in the country ever had a more lady
like assembly of fans. A few cushions
occasionally have been thrown and
the oldest inhabitant recollects tne
time when an overjoyful youth did
hurl a dod bottle at a hound running
across the field. We know one Omaha
base ball writer who has been waiting
patiently three years in the hope that
he eventually would see an umpire
mobbed in Omaha, but he has given
up all hope. If all cities were like
Omaha the umpire's job would be
duck soup.
Now that the president has ad
vised American sports be continued
throughout the war period perhaps
some of those hasty and previous per
sons who took a blind shot and called
off the sport activities with which
they were connected, will realize their
rror. Lolleges and universities that
cancelled their athletic programs de
feated the 'very aim of their move.
Instead of developing the sturdy man
hood within them by providing ath
letic training, these schools are check
ing the physical progress of their stu
dents, making them bookworms in
stead of robust, capable chaps. When
this country. General loffre de
clared that if the young men of France
had been given athletic training that
American youths get, the results ob
tained by the French army early in
the war would have ben inestimably
greater. The president is right; our
sports should be continued.
