But someway, the thing fell through. Fulton Gets Bumped. Eventually the ai'compliitlimcnti oi Fulton and those of Dempsey became such that the two stood foremost anions Willard'l challcncrrt. An elimination battle was staged in Har rison. X. J., in July, 1918 and Dempshey bumped Fulton into state of coma in 14 seconds. Soon afterward Fulton yelled, "I was double-crossed." He insisted that it had been arranged that he and Dempsey were to play a brother-in law game just stroll along through 10 rounds so as to pave- the way for more money through the medium of a return dash. "Hut Dempsey worked a double cross by rushing in and hitting- me with everything he had, maintained Fulton. I wasn't prepared for the onslaught, and, of course, I went down." . Afterward Fulton started out to "redeem" himself. He knocked over a half dozen second and third-raters. Then he went to Europe and whipped everyone there who would fight him. When he came back he clammored for another crack at Dempsey, who had risen to championship greatness by that time. "The match might have gone through if Fulton hadn't been lured by the gold involved in a fight with Harry' Wills, the giant negro. Fulton was knocked overboard in a few rounds and once more he was con sidered down and out. Kept on Showing. Fred Fulton kept on striving. Refusing: to be discouraged by his defeats, he proceeded to build anew. By hammering cuckoo a rather im posing collection of the fistic gentry, he once again reached a place where he commanded attention whenever he yodeled: I wanna fight Dempsey. There was then a chance that he'd get it despite the fact that Dempsey had polished him off once with ridic ulous ease and that Wills had made of him a punching l)ag. For Ful ton's poor showings always seemed to admit some alibi. There was always the thought in the minds WGHSCHL BASKETBALL C'arelton Town Team. Wins. . Carleton. Neb., Jan. SO. (Soecial.)

Jail. 30. (Special.) The Plymouth basket ball teams defeated the Alexandria squads at Alexandria. The Plymouth boys detested the Alexandria boys. 23 to 8. and the girls defeated the Alexandria girts, 36 to 0. tn tne rirst half. The Alexandria girls refused to finish, the game. of iom that maybe Dempsey had executed the criss-cross on him; that Wills actually had won by foul lac tio. as Fulton charged. Heyond those two battles, Fulton had shown up wonderfully. In most of these a flairs of the fists, he had done all that was asked all that had been hoped for by his moct arden admirers. lie had what was regarded as the best left hand in the buMiiess;he had defensive cleverness, at least fair speed and a powerful right hand maintained it wasu t a lack of cour drive.. 1 1 is scoffers said he didn't have a fighting heart; his friends ttf that it was ill luck." And to the debate continued un til the night, a few weeks ago, when lie took on Hartley Madden. Madden No Setup. Fulton wandered into New York early in January and then and there was Jramed the plan whereby he was to be fed on setups with Madden as No. J for the purpose of buildine him up for a return battle with Demp sey. But .Madden, with nothing but lion-hearted courage and ability to take punishment, wrecked the plans. Madden, outweighed 35 Bounds. and a midget in size compared with Fulton, made the giant plasterer look like a laint-hearted novice that night. He bumped and belted Fulton all around the ring. In the 10th round, the "punchless" Madden smacked rulton on the chin and nearly knock ed him overboard. Only the wild eagerness of Madden.vho shot wild punches, instead of steDoinir away and planting one or two well-chosen ones in the right spot thereafter, saved Fulton from being knocked out. : ' And when the 12-round battle was over, the echo of the bell meant noth ing more nor less than the death knell of Fulton s hopes of ever Bet ting another battle with Dempsey and ended for all time consideration of Fred Fulton as a top-notcher in the heavyweight ranks.

Griffith did not say whether the money was paid to Boston or Phita delphia, or whether it was split be tween them. The impression pre ails here that Philadelphia got most of it, if not the entire sum. Two Considered for Lead-Off Job New York, Jan. 30. John Mc- Graw, leader of the world champion Giants, has gathered a great squad for the 1922 campaign, but he is beset with a worry that never bothered him before he parted with George Burns. - "Yes, said McGraw, before he left for Cuba several days ago, "tell me who'll I use for a lead off man. I've got plenty of hard hitters, including Groh, Frisch and Young, butT want to use 'em in the cleanup spots.. "Groh lias had leadoff experience, ut when he swings at a ball he sel dom misses. I need him at bat when men are on the bases." McGraw said he thought Frisch, free hitter, was best suited for the third or fourth niche and that Young was always good somewhere around the cleanup position, leaving Bancroft as a possible leadoff man, for Meuscl and Kelly are not being considered, and the Giant leader doesn't want to take a chance on any of the new men. ' . So it's a toss up between Groh and Bancroft. Catcher Dilhoefer Critically N 111 From Typhoid Fever St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 30.

"StraiiRler" Lewis- and Renato " Gardini, the Italian heavyweight, will meet on the same card "Zibby" Threw Caddock. Caddock nd "Bisco" wrestled at Des Moines, November 7, 1921, and the champion won in two falls, win ning the first in 1 hour and 20 'sec onds and the second in 24 seconds. The Iowa pride was many pounds lighter than the Pole, who won after sapping his lighter foe's endurance. Melady argues that the new rules under which they meet Monday will offset weight differences and that Caddock will have a much better op portunity to throw Zbyszko by his superior speed and variety of holds. Caddock Much Lighter. Earl will enter the ring weighing around 183 pounds, while Zbyszko's avoirdupois will be between 230 and 240. ..

Coif j a hobby and is not comparable with baseball, Ilicte ani other icutiuirnK were expressed before the city council cf the whole this morning by tity com missioner J. U.

Van Duten stated that the city could not legally impose fees for Using the Public links, but that nominal charee miuht be made for cards, button and for regulation of the links. Golf a Hobby. This charge auain-t colters would be a discrimination. Why not charge the baseball players who ue the diamonds in the parks?" aked Commissioner Butler. There is a difference, replied Hummel. "There ball aamcs in the parks provide entertainment for the public. Thousands attend these games every season. Did you ever see a crowd following a golf player at the links? ' Hummel explained lus position that golf in the parks is a special privilege and the players should pay for this privilege, which he referred to as a luxury. Mayor Dahlman announced that he would just as soon vote for an or dinance to abolish the public golf links, as to vote for an ordinance to make a special charge for this privi lege. He took the position that the parks are for the public and that the golf links are for all who care to play golf under reasonable icgulations. The park commissioner's plan is to assess an annual fee and also a small charge per game, which plan lias been adopted in various cities, he stated. 5,000 Used Links. -Last year 4,000 golfers were issued season cards and buttons :or me public golf links and there were nearly 1,000 additional occasional players, making a total of 5.000 who manifested an interest m the public links. The citv commissioners decided to hold this matter in abeyance until the committee of the whole next Monday morning, when they will re sume their deliberations on this im portant question. 'oint Giving in Tennis Disproved New York, Jan. 30. Deliberate throwing awav of points in a sports manlike effort to correct supposed mistakes by linesmen is to be dis couraged during the tournament ten nis season. I ne 4 ennis umpires as sociation will discuss the matter at the annual meeting of the United States Lawn Tennis association here next Saturdav Outlining the umpires attitude R. Clifford Black, chairman of the as sociation, said: ' Why should a player striving to win. deliberately give poiuts to ms opponent if he thinks a mistake has been made m his favor by a lines man or umpire? It is undoubtedly due to the fine sporting ideals of ten nis. The practice probably dates back to the visits of the Dohcrtys to this country SQme years ago. The lining was poor in those days and the galleries applauded the players' action as evidence of good sports manship.' Our players, copied them.

We have only been married six days, and we motored to New York on our weddinsr trip. Tonight we're goinyr to go the rest of the way bv mnon- iglit to visit some relatives in hew Haven." "I've 'of a fine idea." exclaimed 'ick. "I'm a newlywed, too, al though not so short as six days. Sun- pose you rule out my wav, on the route to New Haven. I live in the suburbs in that direction, and you an stor at our dovecote for din ner: afterward you and I ean talk business and our wives chatter about Iroiisfeas and all that kind of stuff!" Why that's very kind. Could we tart up now? It's after S, you know. and I don't want to worry little love-dovey." Just as soon as I telephone my witc, and in another three minutes ill was confronted with the horrible ews that unexpected guests would be there in less than an hour. By the time they had made the trip by automobile, however, the little home was looking its best. "What pretty flowers!' exclaimed the blushing bride, after the intro ductions wer over. "Oh, and they're bridal roses!" "Yes. indeed! That's the onlv kind we grow in our garden." said proud Jack. "Jill raises all kinds of osies though: shes an expert nor- st. Our vegetables come from the kitchen parclen, too. T maf'e a mess of it until she took charge." They were soon seated at the hie. and the guests raved over the delicious soup, as Jill looked a lit uncomfortable. "Jill is a wizard w ith soun, there's no denying." admitted Jack, as chesty as though he had cooked it himself. Ot course, they re our po. tatoes." . "And such a wonderful roast of beef!" chuckled the bridegroom a little later as he passed his plate for the third time. All went well until the dessert course. ' They had fruit pie a la mode. "Jill is the most wonderful little pastry cook in the world and she has a babv freezer that she makes her own ice cream with too," ex t'laincd proud Jack. Jill looked at him. wjf.li an intensity .which should have meant something, but Jack con tinued blissfully: "Oh, my little per fect wife is a shining example in this village." The guests tried .to eat the pic, but only Jack could make the effort suc cessful; even that was a task, and the farewells, with the big honeymoon ear on its way. Jill took Jack's arms nd looked at him nervously, "Darling." she said. "It was all right to praise everything but the no. 1 hat was a bad break. I bought I it !

Tobe Mosclcy'a clock has run down again and is now at a com plete standstill. Though this clock has been in the family for a long lime it never has seemed able to keep up with the rapid march of time. Sidney Hocks arose the other morning and thought Wednesday was Thursday. Tobe Moselcy says anybody that loses track of as big a thing as a day certainly is not a very close observer. But the days do look alike sometimes. Common Sense By J. J. MUNDY. Are You Planning to Branch Out for Yourself? Perhaps often, the thought comes to you. when you have to hustle to your place of employment so as not to be five minutes late, that you ought to be your own" boss, with none . to tell you when you should come to work. But have you ever done any branching out for yourself? When you have thought ahout it, it has been the likelihood of being tied down to one place, and the big chances of losing what you might put into an individual concern which have kept you out, not thought iof worry and care. Isn't it true you have thought of another man doing the burdensome part, other men assuming the anxiety of the business management, and yourself wholly irresponsible for re sults, just to work your allotcd time and keep going? Thus you have drifted from year to year. Now, without any special qualifica tions, do you think you should have control of a business, and with no special effort on your , part, you should be out of the clock ringer class? ; If you did have a. business you would work longer and harder and worry more. ' If you did have a business you would have to be on hand early and late to keep things going right. Don't go into business with the expectation you will have an easy road to travel.
