PROSPECTS FOR TITULAR
CLASH BETWEEN WILLARD
AW FULTON BECOME REMOTE

Chicago, Feb. 3. After a long period during which
it seemed Jess Milliard and Fred Fulton might be drifting to
gether for a match that would settle Fulton's status as a cham
pionship contender, the tide has apparently now turned thei
other way, and prospects of a Willard-Fulton match seem more
remote than ever. The rock on which the negotiations came
to grief was the Fulton-Miske fracas at St. Paul last month.
CHANCE IS GONE. Q
Had Fulton defeated Miske decis
ively, as most fight fans believe he
should have done,' it Is not unlikely
that Willard and the big Minnesota
trowel manipulator would have 'got
ten together in Chicago the week of
January 20-24- and talked business.
Such a conference Awas planned, but
after the fight at St. Paul it fell
through. x
When Fulton, failed' to put Misjce
away or even to matte an impressive
shewing with a man more than thirty
pounds lighter than himself, Wiilard
immediately came forth, with a state
ment that he did not understand how
'Fulton could continue to call himself
'a "topnotch heavyweight. And Big
Jess made it plain that he was not
desirous of entering the ring with a
second-rater. '
Mike Collinsrthe enterprisingtnan
ager of Fulton, camouflaged his cha
grin over the showing of his battler
by doming forth with a statement
that he did not see any use in talk
ing business with Wiilard untjl Wii
lard announced a definite basis on
which in neo-ntiate for a chatnninn-
ship match, inasmuch as Wiilard hadN
repeatedly announced he would fight
at any time on one condition that
both contestants give their entire
earnings for the fight to the Red
Cross, Collins statement appears to
be without much foundation.
One Chance Left. .
There is one chance still remain
ing, however, that may bring Wiilard
.and Fulton together again. If Fulton
should omt out a decisive victor in
his bout with Frank Moran, at New
Orleans, some time this month, Wil
Urd might reviie his opinion of Ful
'ton's fighting ability. The Moran
bout looks like Fulton's chance to tt-n
liabiliate himself in the heavyweight
ranks. ,
After reports of the Fulton-Miske
fight tend to minimize the showing
made by Miske. Although critics
agree that Fulton did not fight as he
had beenfexpectcd to, it is also agreed
bv many.competetit judges that Miske
did not come anywhere near outpoint
ing Fulton. Many sports writers who
saw the fight believe that Fulton had
a shade the better of it and that
Misktf was lucky to stay the full 10
rounds. , . '
i Joplin Holds Record.
Fifteen years of continuous public
, boxing, entirely .uninterrupted in all
thattime, is the remarkable record
mng up by Joplin, Mo. It U believed
no other city in the country has' a
record equaling it.
' In almost every city where boxing
has flourished in the Tast 15 years
there have been intervals when the
sport was forced to suspend. But
Joplin goes merrily on with absolute
ly nothing to halt the even tenor of
its pugilistic way. ,
And in all that time and this is
the most remarkable part-there has
been but one promoter in Joplin. He
is Jimmy Brohson, and he runs an or
ganization ' known as the Southwest
Atiuetic cjud. i lie chid nas a mem-!
bership ofl 4,500.
Joplin's method of running the
game probably could be .tried to ad
vantage in other sections of the
country. The big business houses of
.the ton support the club. Member
chips are sold for a dollar and this
monejr may be applied upon a ticket
for any of the entertainments during
. the year. Of course the prices of the
tickets run higher than that, but one
must - have an original membership
card to get in.
f Commish Directs. ;
the mayor appoints a commission
of 'three to run things and the mem
bers serve without compensation. Box
ing, wrestling and all other sports
are out of the state's hands and under
the commission's control as -far as
Joplin concerned. Tom Douglas, a
wealthy mine owner, is hairman and
other .members are Henry Connolly,
a prominent. tailor, and judge u ai.
Walden. an attorney.
' 'Th city collects' a license fee of
$10 for each show and 15 rounds with
. otft decisions are permitted.
Bronson says that he has sold as
hfch as 500 memberships at' once to
uusinesslfirms, who use them for ad
vertising purposes.1 Ihey consider it
Rood business and an ad for the city.
Joplin 1tas had some excellent bouts
in the last 15 years and boasts of a
state record for receipts at a boxing
show. The Carl Morris-Jim Flynn
match drew $11,000 and several others
lave approached that mark.
New Alibi
Ervan Downev. whom middle west
ern fieht fans regard as one of the
test, welterweights in- the country,
has a riew atibi for losing to Joe
Egan of Boston in their recent fight
at Milwaukee. Bryan says it was a
tooth that lost him that battle and
here's his tale: ,
, "Just a few days before, I met
Egan," says Downey"I boxed Jack
Dempsey,. the Pacific coast heavy
weight, a-few rounds in the gym
nasium as a part of my Training. Now
Dempsey can hit- and he outweighs
me about 50 pounds. We mixed
things pretty lively for a while, and
Jthen Dempsey swung one that caught
me .square on thenfouth.

last week, two boils appeared on Tay

Despite the boils', Taylor made
short work of Miller, who was herald

wise to cancel his bout with Pesek
for the time being, at least. I
"I will wrestle Pesek," declared
Taylor. "But I know how tough
John is, he's a lot better than most of
the Omaha fans think, and I'm not
going to wrestle him unless I'm in

as tough as Caddock and I wouldn't
any more Jhink of trying, to wrestle
him when not in the best of condi

Getting RUn Over by One That
. Weighs Only 5000 Pounds
Is Nothing in His
, .Young Life.
Brother Bill Gleason, shortstop of
the old St. Louis Browns when they
were in the habit of winning pennants
back in the "80s , recently was runP-
over by a 5,000-pound fire truck in
St. Louis and pit ked up for dead. He
came to and is now on tle road to re
covery. Despite his 50-odd years he
has a constifcationXJike a cement
foundation. , .
Friends called on Bill'to offer con
dolences and prepare fo 'tfee. wake if
necessary. They found him with both
hips crushed, but talking about getting
put in a few days.
' A little hing like being run over
by a fire truck is nothing in my life
said Bill. "Why 'I've had as much
happen to me on the ball field as this
and would be back in the game next
day, but of course I.m a little older
now jmd hot sa tough.
"W h v once in Hoboken a gang of
them Jerseyites rougn-housed me as
bad as this and I stalled long enough
to help-old Chris ,Von Der Ahe save
the gate receipts.' , .
"You c, it was this way:" We
were playing in-New York and along
came a Sunday. We players had
planned for a day at the beach, but
hibition game across in Hoboken for
our Sunday off. We were sore at that,
so we planned to give the Hoboken
people plenty. I was selected to do
the heavy work and we arranged to
uiu yum uV uu niiwuiu
spill true beans when I came to oat.
"Up I come in the third inning
and I got a base on balls. I started
for second, after faying the first base
man out with my fist. I dug into
'second, cut down the secon baseman,
got up and made for third. We met.
I put the third sacker to sleep and
started home, meaning to run for the
club house. But that Hoboken crowd
beat me to the plate. - :
"And then we had it. AVe beat 'em
off with our bats, and got on our bus
and made our get-away. I had my
face cut up, one ear torn loose, one
eye xblack and a thumb dislocated.
Some of the other boys were beat up
pretty much, too. -
"We were cussing Chris for ot:r
trouble when we got jto the hotel.
J And who was there when wejjent up
to the room but old Chris, ana he
had a pile of money satcked on his
I bed and was counting it. f
Ub boys, he said vy for did you
make that riot? I hear, 'em coming
and I shust had time to stuff the
money in my pockets and get mo a

but he didn t keep the promise, -and
I think we had to pay our own doctor

was unusually proud whan he landed

DODE PASKERT
WINS FRAY WITH
OLD DADDY TIME
Outfielder Traded to Cubs. Re
tains Speed of Youth De
$rite Thirty-Six Years - '
on Earth.
By JACK VEIOCK.
New York, Feb. 2. Dode Paskert,
recently traded to the Cubs by the
Phillies for Fred Williams, is a mar
vel among outfielders ot, the major
leagues. .
At the age of 36, Paskert still ranks
as one of the speediest gardeners in
the big show, which, is unusual for a
player of his years.
The average outfielder begins to
"lose his legs" aft,er he passes 30. The
nimbleness that enabled him to cover
"acres" of ground when he first won
his spurs begins tot disappear, and he
shows plainly that he is slowing up.
Not.-so with Paskert. He has al
ways ranked as one of the fleetest of
outfielders, and though he is several
steps slower than he used to be, he
can fctili cover ground with the aver
age fielder. I i
Many base ball writers gave Fred :
MitcheH the laugh when he made the ;
deal for Paskerf, allowing a young i
player like Williams to get away from ,
the Cub fold. But Mitchell contends
that he profited by the swap, and if J
Paskert has a good year he will prob- J
tMy be vindicated.
Mitch needed a right-hand hittery
for the Cub. outfield, and there are j
few fielders with Paskert s ability and.j
experience who could do the Cubs !
more goou. ;
Paskert began playing professional i
base ball in 1914 with the Daytop club j
of the Centril league. After three ;
years at Dayton he spent a season
at Altanta and then came to the Cin-1
cinnati Reds in J907. He was a mem- i
ber of the Redville aggregation for
four years and has worn a Philly'
uniform for seven seasons. That he
is,stilf good eiiough to attract the
eye of a" manager wha is stretching
every point to, assemble a cnampion-,
qualities. '"'
Mamaux Clad He's Traded.
A1 Mamaux, who figured in the re-!
cent trade between Vjie Pirates and!
Dodgers, is glad to become a. mem- j
ber of the Brooklyn club. He was ;
quoted recently as saying that he felt :
sure of having a good year, ana ex
pressed the hope that "Uncle Robby'
jtvill send him against the Pirates as
often as possible.
Mamaux was the lowest ranking
pitcher in the National league last
season in the matter of effectiveness,
but he is only 24 years old and has
many years ahead of him as a pitcher.

Kansas City Players Are
Hard Hit by Hickey Fines
President Hickey of the American
association has issued an interesting
statement of fin 'assessed on associ-
"Stion players last season. Kansas
Lity players were hit hardest, tne total
assessed for misbehavior being $205,
Cocreham and Wagner were hit for
$50 each. Louisville paid fines of $170
and $150 of this was assessed against
Manager , Bill Clymer. Joe Tinker
was stung for a similar amount The
four men named were in fights on the
fieldand that accounts for their heavy
penalties. Three clubs went through
.the season without a player being
fined. They were Indianapolis, io
ledo and Milwaukee and yet Bresna
han and Hendricks were two of the
"fightingist" managers in the league
when it came to demanding their
rights. ' ,
Butte Exhibits No Interest
In New Pacific Coast Loop
Though Butte has not shown any
great amount of enthusiasm -over the
tender of a franchise by the new Pa
cific Coast International (Northwest
ern) league, the promoters of the
league hope that BobBrbwn as their
missionary to the Montana city has
done his work so well that Butte will
reconsider. Butte always has stood
with Great Falls and the action in de
nying a "franchise to the latter city
causes criticism. Sopkane also is not
so certain to go through with the
league in its plans, according to re
ports. It is said the eastern Washing
ton city favored laying off for a year,
with . Butte, letting the league be a
four-club circuit, but representatives
of the other cities' insisted that-would
not do. : i'
Magnates Are Not Keen
To Carry Many Players
There is nothing to indicate that
any American league club, in. spite
of the lifting of tha player limit lid,1
is keen to enlarge its roster. The most
of them, according to all reports, will I
take less.men than the law permits i
to training camps. Even Miller Hug- j
gins of. the New York Yankees, who j
.was supposed to want to look oVer j
a lot, of players, is said to plan re-1
ducing his squad before thi training ;
peripd opens. He worked successfully
with a low limit in the National j
league and thinks it can be done in ;

New; Angle' to Division ;
Of Coin May Make Trouble i
Under the new plan of dividing ;
post-yason receipts second division '
clubs engaged in a series do not havel
tOyContribite to a pofc"Under such an J
arrangement a Chicago series might j
net more coi to the participants than
the teams in the world's series would j
get for their work. There has been a
lot of palaver about clubs working
extra hard to get into the first divi
sion. Some of thtm might, possibly,
wish to loaf so they could stay in the
second division, if one wants to con
sider all the angles. .
.Weeghman Pays High So
He Wants to Sell High
President Charley Weeghman talks
in big figureSywhether he is buying or
selling. For instance, he offered
Rookie Leslie to Portland ff r the mere
pittance of $2,500 and now it is stated
that Los Analcs proposal to buy!
Harry Wo.lter has been blocked be
cause the head ot the Chicago ciud
wanted too much money for him. Just
because Weeghman has a million or
so behind him he seems to think every
other magnate is similarly supplied.
Hendricks Howls Lustily
For a Good Second Baseman
"dh for a good second Baseman,"
sighs Jack Hendricks, manager of the
St, Louis Cardinals. "I have Patrlctte
on first, Hornsby at short and Baird
will do at. thirds but may the gods
jend me a second sacker. ' The. Car
dinal candidates most considered,, are
Red Smyth and Bruno Betzel, neither
of whom has yet proved that he is a
real major leaguer. Hendricks wants
a man ol poise and experience and he
thinks he may -have to gO(to the
American association old man s home
to get the kind heVeeks. Steve Yerkes
is the man he has in mind, in spite of
denials. ,
