'CHAMP CONSENTS
TO DEFEND TITLE
AGAINST FULTON
After Three Years of Watchful
Waiting, Big Jess Finally
Agrees to Enter a
Ring.
BY RINGSIDER.
Chicago, March 17. Jess V::'ird
is going to defend his title after .note
than three years of jaunting; around
the country with a circus and rue
fully avoiding everything that looked
like a light.
Willard's financial astuteness has
never been questioned, and tin- .act
that he has piled up a fortune !nce
he knocked out Jack Johnson at Ha
vana while engaging in only one fight
speaks well for his anility to accumu
late and guard the kale. There is lit
tle doubt but that Jess' motives in
wanting to tight now are not inif. red
by a thirst for battle o much as a
desire to garner to himself wads of
wealth, duly large and attractive
There is more activity in the henvy
weight ranks than there has be?n in
months, if not years. The result of
this activity has set the promoters
bidding, and heavyweights are now
4 holding- the spotlight.
Talk of big money penetrated the
solitude with which Jess surronii.it tl
himself and caused him to cast a )iec
ulative eye upon the heavyweights
most entitled to consideration as.
championship contenders.
The field of men eligible to meet
Jess in a title bout narrowed 'down to
two. Elimination bouts left Fred Ful
ton, the Minnesota plasterer, who has
been knocking at the door of the
heavyweight throne room for moiuhs,
and Jack Dempsey, recently from the
far west, who is a big noise in the
heavyweight ranks.
Fulton and Dempsey.
The logical procedure would be a
match between these two and !-i the
winneY take on Jess. Attempts to
make this match have been made and
Dempsey has stood willing to go
through.
Dempsey has been wading throt'gh
the lesser lights of the heavyweight
field with exceeding- ruthlessness His
victories have been knockouts, most
of them in short order. He has
shown that he has a punch capable
of toppling over any man who fails
to keep out of his reach.
Fulton, since he knocked out Frank
Moran, believes that he is in a posi
tion to meet Willard without going
further, and he evidently has the
situation sized up pretty well. Realiz
ing that any man who gets in the
ring with Dempsey is liable to be
rocked to sleep by his wallops. Ful
ton can hardly be blamed for wishing
to avoid Dempsey until he has taken
his crack at the champion.
There has been some pressure put
on Willard by Dempsey's friends and
barkers to persuade him to insist that
Fulton meet Dempsey before either
of them get a crack at the title. Jess
has listened to this talk, but has not
. come forth with a definite statement
vof his attitude. He has intimated,
however, that he thinks Fulton the
logical contender.
Greb Declares War,
There is going to be a new middle
weight champion of the world one
with a clear title to his crown be
fore the present year is over. Take
it from Harry Greb, the Pittsburgh
buzz saw.
Greb is supremely confident that
nothing in the world outside of the
army or sudden death can keep him
away from the title. He expects to
clean tip every middelweight cham
pionship contender as fast as they
come, and to stand out as the undis
puted champion before 1918 closes.
One of the things that Greb intends
to do to prove that he is champion
ship material is to take on Eddie
McGoorty, the Oshkosh battler, who
is preparing to enter the ring after
a year or two of inactivity. Negotia
tions for the match are in progress,
and the bout probably will take place
within the next 60 days.
As to McGoorty.
McGoorty, before he went to Aus
tralia, was one of the toughest mid
dleweights in the works. He fought
some of the best and came through
with a first class record. Whether he
has gone back far cannot be forecast
until he steps into 'the ring against a
good opponent, but Eddie is confident
he is as pood as ever.
Greb also believes a bout with Mc
Goorty will give him a real test. If
he can beat the Oshkosh wonder he
believes he will be recognized as a
formidable opponent for any man in
the middleweight ranks.
Greb and his manager, '"Red"
Mason, disagree with newspapers re
ports that Mike O'Dowd had the bet
ter of their resent' fight at St. Paul.
Greb thinks he won, but blames de
cisions of the "home town" variety
for the reports that he was beaten bv
O'Dowd.
Greb is in great fighting shape and
can make 155 pounds with ease, he
says, and is not getting bigger only
better.
Welsh Hears Call.
Guess who is thinking of doing a
comeback. None other than Freddy
Welsh, who lost the lightweight
championship under the smothering
attack of Benny Leonard.
Welsh is desirous of regaining the.
lightweight championship and thinks
he can do it. He declares he has a
nromise troni Henny Leonard that
his first 2(l-round battle after winning
the title would be with Welsh, and
that he expects Leonard to keep the
promise.
"I gave up three chances at the
championship and you finally landed
it," Welsh told Benny, after the light
'n which the title changed hands.
"I've been fair, now what are you
going- to do for me?"
"You certainly were good to me,"
Welsh claims Leonard replied, "and
you want to tight again you may
have the first 20-round fight I take
part in."
Now Welsh is feeling an urge to
hold Benny to his promise and has
asked Harry Pollock, his manager, to
see what he can do about getting a
match with Leonard.
Pollock declares Welsh is in fine
shape and able to enter the ring on
short notice.

LIMBER OP FOR
COMINGSEASON
Managers Issue Call for Prac
tice for Next Sunday; Two
Early Birds to Start
Today.
By FRANK QUIGLEY.
Next Sunday if Mr. Winter decides
to take his annual vacation the local
municipal lots will be decorated with
stars, spavs and youthful timber lim
bering up for the ensuing season.
Most all of the teams have mustered
together at least twenty gents, a
dozen of which the Omaha Amateur
Base Ball association will allow to be
retained for service when the bell
tingles. During the few Sundays al
lotted for preliminary work the man
agers of the various contingents will
brand a dozen with the stamp of ap
proval and take a chance on these
dudes gloming the grapes.
If the largest shell ever manufac
tured exploded under Frank Jacobs,
president of the City league, the jolt
would have been more welcome than
the news that greeted hiin when he
presided at the meeting of the City
league last week. It wasn't enough
for the Greater Omaha league to cut
the wire entaglements and capture the
Murphy Did Its, so for good measure
it waltzed away with the Stags, leav
ing the City league in a sadly de
pleted condition. But before the
meeting was over the league was bol
stered and the following teams, with
one franchise on the market, comprise
this classy R organization: Central
Furniture store. Walter G. Clarks,
National Cash Registers, Morris &
Co. and Woodmen of the World.
Any team wishing a franchise in this
league should commune with Frank
Jacobs over Colfax 11J6. At the next
meeting, one week from Thursday,
officers will be elected.
Higgins Leads Class A.
A surprise was sprung on the local
fans when the magnates of the
greater Omaha league elected Earl
Higgins, president and Abner Kai
inan, formerly the president, secre
tary. Both officers were unanimous
ly elected. The following teams will
compose the Greater Omaha league
this year: C. B. Longeways, C. B. Im
perials, Holmes White Sox, Armours,
Murphy Did Its, Krejiceks and
Stags. The reason for seven teams
is to allow each team a Sunday off
every six weeks to combat with
neighboring country town aggrega
tions. Again the Inter-City league goes
over the top with eight clubs, namely
Athletics, Daily News, Social Settle
ment Juniors, Montclaires, Phillips
department store, K. & Ms., Krajicek
juniors and Dresher Bros. Patrick
Boyle was re-elected president of this
league and Lewis Reisnick was
elected secretary. It was agreed
that each team should deposit $5.00
as a forfeit and play two times a
round. At the next meeting, Friday,
March 22, a schedule will be adopted.
Six Teams in Booster.
To date the Booster league can
only boast of six teams, namely:
Trimble Bros. Homesteads, Victor
Roos. Ramblers, Townsends and T.
M. Rozgalls. Two franchises are still
open. At their next meeting, Friday,
March 22, officers will be elected.
So far five leagues have been or
ganized, and it is a safe plunge that
another w ill be in the harness soon. !
Six leagues comprised the association
last term and it will unquestionably I
start on the same footing this ye;:r.
Early Birds Today.
If climatic conditions are such that
the robins can chirp this afternoon, a
p.iir of early bird aggregations will
unlock the cates and spill out their
wares at Thirty-second ami Dewey
avenue. Every day that Jack Frost
has been in seclusion during the last
month the members of thee two
bands have been petting into condi
tion for their initial bout. It is not
expected that a debate of the cham
pionship caliber will be on the menu,
but it is a lead pipe that a battle with
miscues and boneheads and rival-v of
the keenest sort will be dishel up.
This argument will be between two
recently organized teams. One is
known as the Willard. backed by
the Nebraska Storage Battery com
pany, and the other utilizes the
monicker of Victor Roos. If the
battery kids are well charged the
Roos recruits ought to have thei.- mo
torcyclcs on the job.

i
Penn Relays, Track and Field!
Championships and Huge '
Rowing Regatta Are Pros- j
pects Ahead.
By JACK VEIOCK.
N'ew York, March 16. With the
l'enn relays, the track and field
championships of the International
Association of Amateur Athletics, the
big American regatta on the Severn
river, at Annapolis, and the usual
college and prep school athletic meets
scheduled for April and May, the
prospects for war-time athletics this
year are bright.
Competition which will decide
championships in nearly every
branch of college athletics has re
ceived the stamp of favor bv a big
majority of colleges throughout the
country. Interest which lagKe,l he
cause of the introduction of "informal
athletics" last year is being revived,
and the colleges which fail to ap
preciate the fact that it is considered
hy the poverument as a patriotic duty
to foster and encourage athletic
competition in every way possible
will be bound to lose prestige.
Following in the footsteps of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
association, which was the first big
organization to take a firm stand in
favor of continuing its peace-time
programs, every national amateur
and collegiate body has come out in
favor of the old-time policies that
governed sports before the war. The
only big sport body which has no!
restored championships is the I'nited
States Golf association,
No Curtailment.
Arguments pro and con have been
made in a few instances for curtail
ing sports, but the sentiment which
rules the majority is a sentiment
which impels the solons of sport to
go ahead as far as they can; to con
duct athletic events on the largest
possible scale and make no provisions
for war-time restriction until they
are met.
Perhaps the most unexpected, and
one of the most welcome moves met
by a college organization, was that
of the American Rowing association,
which is planning to conduct a great
American Henley at Annapolis. In
order to make it more democratic, the
rowing solons invited schools in the
middlewest and far west which
foster rowing to enter crews. It goes
without saying that the interest in
rowing is booming, just as interest in
college sports of all kinds will boom
with the restoration of champion
ships. Buck O'Neill Will Coach
Syracuse Eleven Again
Frank J. O'N'eill, known in the col
lege foot ball world as "Ruck," has
been reappointed head coacn at Syra
cuse for next season, which assures
the Salt City institution ot another
high class eleven. Last year with a
limited amount of material, O'Xeill
developed a strong team at Syracuse
which had a record that commanded
much attention.
Next season Syracuse plans to eo
through with its regular schedule, i:
attempting any policy of informal
teanis. O'N'eill will again he. assisted
by C. W. P. Reynolds, as field coach:
Hill Horr. as line coach; Dr. A. II
