3-S Even the Sturdiest Fall Before the Blows Old Father Time Delivers THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 1, 1917. Fred Fulton Bobs to Surface Again; Jim Flynn Retires From Prize Ring Sunk by Carl Morris, Minnesota , Giant Refuses to Stay Down and Rises Again by Mur dering Langford. By JACK VEIOCK. New York, June 30. Lock who' here! The pcr'ucope registers the map of one Frederick Fulton bobing around on the horizon nor' by nor west. Bubbles on the water indicate that Frederick has come to the surface bristling with chatter and ready to start something rough. He has an armload of moths ana is ready to toss them on Willard, Morris, Moran or anybody else who thinks he has class as a heavyweight. Every one thought that Carl Morris, the big Oklahoma submersible, had .. Fulton sunk for good when he took a decision from the plasterer in New York. The pathway of Morris looked as clean as a bald head, and he was toting a pair of mauls labeled "For Jess Willard" when up bobs Fulton with a knockout victory over Sam Langford and gums up the works. The night that Fulton hung his trowel propeller on Langford Jess Willard must have been convulsed with merriment. Jess was probably glad to hear the news, for as a result of Fulton's unexpected comeback he can stall off the would-be heavy weight champions for a while longer. The fact that Fulton knocked the Boston Tar Baby out has not eoverjd him with championship class by any manner of means, for Thamroy was fat around the equator and as grace ful as a sack of sugar when they met. But the victory does pave the way for Fulton to put in a new , chirp, and he is already warbling for a return bout with Morris. Achieves Unprecedented. Fulton accomplished something none of the other heavies has been able to do in the fifteen years that Langford has been boxing, for in all his days Tham has never before taken a deep sea dive or the count. Gun boat Smith tried his luck with Lang ford and succeeded in getting the bet ter on points in their first meeting, only to come back confidently and lose via the knockout route. Langford has challenged everybody but Jim Jeffries during his career in the ring. He was too light for Jeff when the big fellow was in his prime, but when Jack Johnson took the title in tow Sam was right on his trail, and he offered to fight anybody, black or white, at any time or any place. The fact that the white heavies with the execution of Smith sidesteooed the Boston chocolate drop is proof of. what tney all tnougnt ot nis aDiiuy. Prefers Long Route. So now comes Fulton with a clean victory over Langford and a chance to horn into the front ranks of would be champions again. A return match between Fulton and Morris will be the next heavyweight attraction if Fulton has his way about it He wants the big Oklahoma engineer and he wants him quick. He claims he can offset his poor showing in New York inside of ten rounds, but he would rather get Carlos over a dis tance route if possible. Fulton surprised every one in the Morris bout by his poor work. He didn't fight ana he was just about as awkward as a barrel of molasses on stilts, He kept protesting to the ref eree while Morris bored into him, and when the end came in the fifth round the crowd was satisfied, for the bout was a joke. But with all the panning that Ful ton got there is a chance that the public will welcome him back as an opponent for Morris, and as Fulton is perfectly willing it's all up to Carlos now. Pollok Vindicates Leonard, Harry Pollok, manager of Freddie Welsh, has come to the front in de fense of Benny Leonard against charges made recently regarding Leonard's weight the night he won the title from the Welshman. A short time ago one of the New York promoters who has been trying to get Leonard as an attraction for his club came out with the statement that Leonard weighed around 137 pounds the night h met Welsh. The charge, could it be proven true, would rob Leonard of much of his glory, be cause of his boast that he is a legiti mate lightweight who can scale at 133 pounds ringside. Pollok's state ment gives Leonard a clean slate. It follows: "On the night of May 28, 1917, about 10 o'clock, Freddy Welsh and Benney Leonard were weighed by one of the official inspectors of the State Athletic commission in a dress ine room at the Manhattan Athletic club. Leonard weighed 133 pounds and Welsh some fraction over 136 I cannot remember the exact fraction. I know these weights are correct, be cause I was oresent and saw both boys being weighed. I understand the inspector in question has made t affidavit to practically the above. He is absolutely correct. While I still maintain, as I did im mediately after the contest was stopped, that the referee erred in not fiving Welsh the benefit of a count, am certainly not in sympathy with the unsportnianslike attempt recently made to besmirch Leonard's claim to the title." Larry Doyle May Be New Manager of Pirates Pittsburgh, Pa., June 29 A report was published here tonight that over tures have been made by the Pitts burgh National League club for the services of Larry Doyle, of the Chi cago Cubs to succeed James J. Calla han as manager of the local team. It has been perisstently rumored that a change in maangement of the Pittsburgh team is soon to be made. Barney Dreyfuss, president of the club has refused to discuss the mat ter. . , Rourkes to 'Play at Home Tuesday and July Fourth Pa Bourke's de luxe athletes return home Tuesday for a three-game series with the Lowly Links from Lincoln. The three games will be played Tues day and Wednesday, with two games Wednesday, the Fourth. One game will be played in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Thursday and Friday the Rourkes play at Sioux City, returning home again Saturday for a fifteen-game stretch on the local After Seventeen Years of Serv ice the Pueblo Fireman De cides to Call It a Day and Quit. By RINGSIDE. Chicago, June 30. The oldest ac tive boxer in the business is about to quit and live on the interest of his in vestments in Liberty bonds and other gilt-edged securities, His name Is Jim Flynn, and he is known as the Pueblo fireman. "Terrible attack of neuritis in this shoulder." Jim said to us the other day, indicating his left side. "If it had been on the other side I would have fought Gunboat Smith and would have done well with him. But if you haven't got a left you'ra gone. So I just naturally passed it up. "I'm through after this year to a certainty. I've got some little invest ments that'll keep the wife and kids. I'm going home as soon as I get this shoulder rubbed down at Excelsior Springs. "I believe I'm the oldest boxer in actual service. Seventeen years of it at it hammer sn4 tongs fighting the big and the little, tough ane easy, and never getting many of the soft Ones. Thirty-eight years old and still going. Bora in 79 and started in lyou. "Funny, too.

Can't neat (hat much I If more fighters got managers they could trust and then trusted them the game would be batter," Jim probably will bt able to swing those hams in good shape for five years mere if he so desires. Ertlt i Slipping, Johnny Ertle, who laid claim to the bantamweight title by virtue of a foul in the fifth round of his battle with Kid Williams at St, Paul, Sep tember 10, 1915, has joined Johnny Couion on the down grade. Not vet 21 years of age, Ertte's quick retro gression is one pi the mysteries o the ring today. For the past year or so, in spit of the fact that Ertle has not fought himself out, as did Bat Nelson or Terry McGovern, Ertle has been knocked and buffeted around, and nowadays almost any third-rate boxer in his division beats him or holds him even. If Ertle had traveled the routs there might be some excuse for his slipping. In some circles it is said that Ertle's handlers have been tak ing him along the gay white way where the lights burn brightly, and jf this is the case it is quite easy to see the reason for his being burned out just at the time when he should be at his best. Only a couple weeks ago Kid Bar one, a third-rater from Pittsburgh, beat him in a six-round battle. Ertle's performances in the last year have been most disappointing. He was outpointed by Abe Kaufman in Philadelphia in six rounds. Dick Loadman beat him by a comfortable margin in Baltimore, "Pekin. Kid" Herman held Ertle even in Milwau kee, and now Barone holds hit own with the former terror of ths bantam division. Decisions in Cincinnati. Fifteen-round bouts, with de cisions by referees, it to be the new rule in Cincinnati, Mayor George Puchta has approved the plan of the boxing commission to strike ten round bouts from the books, and the first scrap will be at Redland Field July 3, between Johnny Ertle and Sammy Handlow, bantams. Kilbane Aided Leonard. The terrific beating doled out to Freddie Welsh when he met Johnny Kilbane in New York probably is as much responsible as anything for the fact that Leonard is now lightweight champion of the world. Kilbane hit Welsh everywhere ex cept on the spot that Welsh always had covered until he met Leonard. If Kilbane had been given the same op portunity for victory that presented itself to Leonard he probably would be wearing a crown in each angle of his curled locks. "The only thing I am sorry for," said Johnny, after he had seen Welsh uncrowned, "is that I wasn't in there instead of Leonard, I don't want to take any credit from Leonard. He's a grand little scrap per. But I certainly believe I would have finished Welsh that night. I started Welsh to oblivion and Leonard finished the trick." Jimmy Dunn, Kilbane'i manager, declared Johnny was a much better ring workman like Benny. "Kilbane is a one-punch knocker out," quoth Jimmy, "and Leonard is not. It Kilbane had been in the ring with Welsh you wouldn't be hearing any arguments as to whether the ref eree erred in not counting over Welsh. Freddie would have been on the floor, and he would have been carried to his corner, if Johnny had landed on his head. Believe me, that's right. If you- don't believe Kilbane hits that hard, you might ask George Chancy." All of which is a moot question until Kilbane and Leonard clash in the squared circle.

Madam Rumor has it that ap proximately $150 changed hands dur ing the Townsends-National Cash Registers fuss. Money has been of fered by the backers of various teams as an incentive to snag the bacon. It was said that Mayor Dahlman offered the pitcher of the Dahlman Knights a five spot if he succeeded in whipping the Brodegaard Crowns, formerly the Tradesmen. Mr. Trimble, backer of the Trimble Bros., recently was very generous during the Trim ble BroB.-Dahlman Knights jamboree. One of the pillars ot the national Cash Rearisters attended the Regis ters-Omaha Bicycle Indians contest and deposited some of his dough with the players. Other similar incidents, although smaller amounts were of fered, which are too numerous to men- .: ' I I I ciA tc woke up the directora of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association and as a consequence an amendment was added to the constitution to prohibit a player or players from accepting public donations. If found guilty the penalty is suspension for thirty days. The protested game between the Dahlman Knights and Trimble Bros., wai ordered to stand as olaved. Pro tested parte between the Townsends and Walnut Hill Merchants, which was forfeited to the gunners by the adjudicator during the sixth inning, waa ordered replayed. The Beddeos protested their last mix with the Krajiceks, but the protest was referred back to the Metropolitan league tor action. In a written communication to the association, Manager Wiig of Alpha Camp, Woodmen of the World, requested that a rehearing be granted him because of the, decision of the board of directors, that his team should replay a game it won from the Western Union. When the decision was made, supposed to be competent witnesses testified that Wigg agreed to replay the game in question and the board ruled he should follow out his original intention, although it seemed nonsensical that Wiig should make an agreement of that kind unlr-ai the words were spoKcn wnen a trine warm under the collar. The same committee appointed to investigate the Keber-Lacey gstic encounter was instructed to call on Park Commis sioner Hummel and ask that Rrber be if 1 lii u,aa scratched off the books tor the balance of the season, could not be reinstated. The investigation unearthed the facts that both were equally guilty. League Meets. Last week the big guni of the American league congregated. It was agreed between the various managers to sign up players to aggregate their total to a dozen on or before Monday, July 2. A motion passed unanimously to allow Holland, who is recognized as one of the best Class A kinkers in or around this neck of the woods, to join the Townsenda, It was reported that Carl Lutes, captain and third baseman of the Townsends and also a leather egg warrior with some rep., has joined the navy. To date this season the fans have been treating the players all right, but not quite often enough. Naturally the fans sometimes think that amateur base ball is made up of what they don't want and what they can't get. Excitement generally serves to satisfy their appetites, and, as barrels of it have already been served and the re frigerator of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association is bubbling over with it. in all probability the majority of the tans will be well repaid for their interest in the amateurs before Old Man Wir.ter pays his annual visit. It Is up to the second division war. riora of the Greater Omaha league to pull down the squads higher up this afternoon. At present the Melady Mavericks are the leaders because they have played more games than the Armours and Ramblers. These teams are even as far as games lost are concerned. Battle or Poaltion. .

At Riverview oark the Brodegaard Crowns and Dahlman Knights will put pn a show worth walking block to WsV" iu)ni rijaWeVvata see. and country blocks at that. At the nreient writins the Crowns are holding down roost one in the Booster league and tne Knignts are close on their trail.
