TITE 3IORXIXG OHEGOXIAX, 3IOXDAT, FERRUART 12, 1917. 13 FULTZ REAL FIGHTER Even-Tempered Head of Frat Like Buzz Saw When Going. PLAYERS SWEAR BY HIM Magnates Think Talk or Strike Is All Bluff, but Tbose Who Know Dave Best Say He Is Dynamite When Bumped. BT FRANK G. MENKB. YORK. Feb. -11. (Special.) Harken to a magnate discoursing? on David Li. Fultz and you'll picture a person ornamented . with horns and cloven hoofs and other devilish quali ties. Meet Dave Fultz ace to face and what a shock you'll get! The most conspicuous figure in the sporting: world today is a medium sized chap, quiet mannered, quiet voiced, grentle: the last person in the world that you'd imagine would head a revolt until you had a chance to study his face, and then you arrive at a different conclusion. Dave Fultz Is a handsome chap the kind that would win him 100 perfumed notes a day had he chosen the stage or the movies for his means of live lihood. Finely chiseled features, dark hair and dark skin, blue eyes that's the face of the prexy of the ballplay ers' frat. Not a fighting- face, you Bay? No. But note his jaw and his chin. "Goad me not," they seem to say. The wise man would heed their warning-. The mag-nates probably won't. And something Is likely to hap pen soon. Temper Always Even. Dave Fultz never uttered an abusive word in all his life, as far as anyone knows. Nor did Dave Fultz ever lose his temper in the way that most men sometimes do. Always calm, cool, self possessed that's the man who is fighting- the baseball magnates now In behalf of the men. But some day some body or something might get Dave sort of angry-like. And then "Davey Is something like dynamite," one of his friends asserted. "If dyna mite isn't monkeyed with it's quite in nocent and quite harmless. But' begin tossing it around, hammer It a little too much, and " Back in the bygone days, when Dave went to Brown University, many folks learned that Dave Fultz was a perfect cyclone. . He was a footballer then; one of the greatest that ever romped over a gridiron. Brown still sings the songs of "Fighting Dave," of the man who never quit when once he began to fight. After his graduation Dave was of fered a job as a major league base foaller. He accepted it, and the name of Dave Fultz is written in Indelible letters In baseball's hall of fame. "Chain-Lightning Dave" is what they called him in his day, because he was ranked as the fastest man in the game. He could hit, too, and as an outfielder be was a wonder. Army Amlti Foltr Order. Some years ago Fultz decided to re tire from baseball to take up the prac tice of law his real profession. At odd moments he was a T. M. C. A. In structor. At other times, to relieve the monotony of legal work, he offi ciates at the similar football combats in the East. For Fiiltz, you know, ranks among the foremost students of the college sport. Some years ago. when the' ballplay ers decided to have a frat, the question was asked: "Who'll we get to preside for us?" "Dave Fultz," was the unanimous answer. Dave took the job and soon pushed up the enrollment from a mere hand ful to more than 1300 baseballers. "That's Dave's army and quite a formidable one it is." remark Dave's friends. "They're ready for fight and they'll fight when Dave gives the word. The magnates think Dave and his boys are bluffing. But they're not. They have heckled Dave a long time, sneered at him, ridiculed him. Dave has been patient, long-suffering. "But Dave Fultz is beginning to get mad; quiet, unassuming Dave, who never uttered a cuss word in all his life, is close to losing his temper.- If he does well, we don't want to be in the immediate neighborhood." times Bresnahan asked him to explain himself. He knew that Chance did not need him on the Cubs. Frank declined to answer, merely continuing his re fusal to waive. As a result of this stand "Itube" was enabled later to Join the Los Angeles club. m Kmll JVfeusel has changed his views of life. When the fraternity, fuss was first kicked up he announced his in tention to strike if Fultz gave the or der. This sounded strange, coming from a player just drafted from the bushes, and to get his chance in the majors. Emil is young and it is presumed that he spoke hastily. Now he declares that he will gladly play with Los An geles if the Cubs decide not to use him this season. The fact that Jerry Coleman has signed with Hamilton Patterson, of the Dallas club, will result in the case be ing carried to the National Commission. Thomas J. Darmody, of Vernon, con tends that Coleman had previously ac cepted terms with Vernon. Billy Burke has rejected an offer to train Detroit, according to word re ceived here from Salt Lake. The con tract offered by the Tigers carried with it only a little more money than he is receiving from the Bees. J. E. REID IS HIGH 21 TAKE PART IN PRACTICE SHOOT AT TRAPS.

JUST what Frank La Roy Chance's plans are for the future are a sub ject of" conjecture. With Maggert and Killefer in the gardens he has the nu cleus around which to build a strpng outfield. He is known to regard Jack son as a player with some latent pos elbilities. Mickey Schilz showed the Los Ange les manager enough last year to war rant serious consideration for'the com ing season. With the veterans Killefer and Maggert, the P. L. probably will feel justified in carrying two other outfielders, these to be picked from among Jackson, Schilz and Meusel, pro Tiding that the latter can be secured from the Cubs. That Phil Koerner and "Rube Ellis are assured of jobs for the season with San Francisco, provided they meet with no unforseen setbacks, is news re ceived with gratification by the fans. Koerner hit .276 last season. One of the reasons that prompted Chance to make the recent big swap was the fact that b needed a southpaw "Curly" Brown never has had a fair chance to display his wares as a pitch er on the Coast. Pitcher Brown was handicapped at San Francisco by the cold weather. Then, with Justin Fitzgerald crippled. Wolverton was forced to use him in the outfield last season frequently. "Curly" won 13 and lost 14 games, and allowed an average of 3.17 earned runs per game, which is far from impressive on the bare face of the. returns. Southpaw Brown's record is about all that could be expected when one pauses ana contemplates that he participated ! in 95 games, 52 of which were in the box. All the evidence - shows that - "Curly" was an overworked pitcher. Frank Le Roy .Chance has pulled off two of the biggest trades in the history of Pacific Coast League baseball. . While "Rube" Ellis doubtless would prefer to play in Los Angeles, that ctty being situated more conveniently in re lation to his orange ranch, he will have no difficulty in detecting the fine and friendly hand of Frank Le Roy Chance in keeping him in the league. ' Several years ago when "Rube" Ellis was with the St. Louis Nationals, Roger Bresnahan took a dislike to him for no reason in particular, and decided to hip him to the Southern League. "Rube" - wasn't adverse to leaving the majors, but he preferred the Coast League because his home is near Los Angeles. , Getting wind of the scheme, Frank Le Roy Chance held up the deal whenever Bresnahan asked for waivers. After the P. L. refused to waive a few ALU! SOOII DUE SchoonenJJrings Copra and Is to Take Out Lumber. DAVID EVANS IS OVERDUE A SPECIAL match will be rolled Tuesday night on the Oregon Bowling Alleys by the M. L. Kline quintet and Blaney's Kandy Kids. Jack Welmer was the star last Thursday night in the City League games by rolling a 276 and totaling 680 for the three contests for an aver age of 227. , Tom Dempsey,- the big six-foot pln emasher of the Guardian Casualty ag gregation, will be out of the game for several weeks because of an injured ankle received recently.

CHICAGO. Feb. 11. Twenty - two riders, paired into 11 teams, got away at 10:30 tonight in Chicago's sixth an nual six-day bicycle race. The event will be finished next Saturday night. Clarence Carman, of Long Island, and George Wiley, of Syracuse, N. Y.. were forced to withdraw, as Wiley was at tacked with pneumonia. There is a chance Carman will get into the rare later, as some of the other contestants may be forced to drop out. Reggie McNamar, ' an Australian, and Francisco Verrl. of Italy, are re garded as favorites. Percy Lawrence and Willie Hanley, of Ban Francisco, who won the six-day event in Chicago two years ago, are regarded as strong contenders. Furious sprinting marked the first hour of the grind. Verrl shot into the lead at the start and maintained it un til Worthmitten. of Davenport, la., after a five-lap sprint, took the lead. The riders, by covering 26 miles and eight laps, established a world's rec ord for the first hour. NICIIOIjAI wtjts big trap event Victor at Kansas City Shoot Gets a Parse of $1575. KANSAS CITT.
