BOXING LAW TO BE TEVTEO
C'lilvaso I'rtinioters lo Go Attend
With 30-Round Bout.
CHICAGO. May 1. Plana are on foot
by local fight promoters to test the Illi
nois boxing law. A match la being ar
ranged between boxers of recognised
ability. It Is proposed to advertise the
bout for 2 rounds, to ofler a purse and
charge admission.
In this way tne promoters announce
they are sure to encounter opposition
which will at least bring the matter
Into court. As a start an application
for a. charter for a boxing club has been
forwarded to Springfield.
Those interested In the renewal of
boxing believe that the state law, which
forbids contests of the kind, msy wither
under a court decision sufficiently long
for a new law to be enacted which
would permit It- In the meantime It Is
their Intention to carry on the sport.

BY JAMES H. CASSELL.
It was a case of too much Fullerton
at Vaughn-Street Park yesterday aft
ernoon, the twlrlcr who was pounded
from the hill on Monday coming back
so strong that the Potlatch Bugs won.
1-1, shoving the Colts to fourth place
by virtue of a series of three straight
victories over the Portlandera.
However, while Fullerton pitched a
magnificent game, holding the Colta
to five hits, only two of which were
of the slmon pure brand, Colt misplays
were largely responsible for their third
consecutive defeat.
Had Eastley had the support ac
corded Jack Barry'a mounaman the
summary would have read 1-0 in favor
of Portland.
H coring All Karly.
The work of the opposing slabsters
was so effective that the scoring of
the game was limited to the first two
Innings, with the Seattle runs of the
non-earned variety. The margin of
hits was one in Fullerton' favor, with
the strikeouts even, four each, and
Kastley walking only one batter against
three passes charged to his liug oppo
nent. The tussle was an Interesting one.
with the Colts invading the paths just
often enough to keep the tension at a
high pitch, with promises of runs which
would tie up the game or return ttat-m
winners. Several times men reached
second, where a elngle would have
evened the score, but Fullerton was In
vincible when that quality spelled sur
cess, and prospective rallies were
nipped in the bud.
Mensor's Great Speed Counts.
In the very first inning Eddie Mon
sor, speed marvel of the circuit, beat
out a bit to short, was sacrificed to
second, stole third, and scored on Fries'
intield out-
When the Bugs came to bat Weed
singled past Coltrln. Barry attempted
to sacrifice, but was safe at first when
Kastley Juggled the bull and finally hit
the runner In a ninth-hour effort to
retire Manager Jack. Chick slammed
out at Jlonsor. who suffered a momen
tary disconnection of mental machinery
and tossed the runner out at first, when
he had Barry at second by the pro
verbial mile, snd a double play was
imminent. McMullIn then drove one
towards Strait, scoring Weed. The
outfielder returned the ball to Kastley.
Hurry pulling up at third. The pitcher
shot the sphere to Mensor In sn effort
to nip the oncoming McMullIn. but
Kddle let It trickle through his fingers,
and Barry scored with what turned out
to be the deciding run of the game.
Colts Often Dasgeross.
In the seventh, eighth and ninth the
Colts loomed up on the scoring norlxon
but failed to make the circuit. In the
seventh Strult walked, wss sacrificed
to second and went to third on Kibble
hit to Chick, but by that time two men
were gone and Coltrin failed to come
through with the pinch wallop. In the
eighth Mensor doubled down third base
line, but failed to go farther than the
base hit entitled him to. In the ninth
Williams took first on McMullln'e bad
peg. the only Seattle mlscue of the
game, and took second on Harris' In
field out. With two gone Otto Moore
was shoved In to bat for Kibble, but
grounded out to Barry.
In the ninth Inning the Bugs were
twice nipped at the plnte. Weed, the
first man up, walked. Barry attempted
to sacrifice. M-nsor dropping Eastiey's
toss, and the runners advancing a base
in the melee. Chick drove one to Men
sor. who forced Weed at the plate, and
Barry succumbed a moment later when
McMullIn failed to bunt the ball on a
squeexe signal.

SLUMP OF TEAM WORRIES
Evrliig and Ish Stir Deader to Use
Every Effort to Strengthen.
Men Fall to Hit and Ex

BV HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN" FRANXISCO, May 16. (Special.)
With the Seals playing losing ball,
steadily sliding dow n the percentage
column: with the knockers busy and the
attendance falling oS, coupled with the
failure of the owners of the club to land
talent that would brace the ciub, it's no
wonder that J. Cal Ewing. Frank Ish
and Dan Long are stewing around,
catching at straws to save the situation.
Of all the men connected with the
local club. Dan Long is probably the
most worried. It is generally under
stood that Dan is on probation as man
ager this year. He must produce a
winner, or a near-winner, or he will
give way to another leader. Long has
not been successful the past few sea
sons and he has exhausted the excuse
book.
Itesnlts Only to Count.
Results only will now count with
Messrs. Ish and Ewing. and, judging
the Seals on their performance in the
first six weeks f the season and com
paring them with the other teams In the
circuit, a miracle will be wrought If
they produce the results that will keep
Dan on the Job.
They need to be strengthened and ail
effort is being made In that direction.
But that's a hard thing to do. A thou
sand other teams are also trying to
strengthen, and there Is not enough
good talent to go round.
What's the rriatter with the Seals?
All summed up. the answer is, "They
aren't there." They are not hitting. At
first It was explained they Had nara
luck In their hitting and drove the ball
into the handas of the opposing pitcher.
Well, a great batter once defined the se
cret of batting- as "hitting 'em where
they ain't." The Seals may be hard
luck, hitters, but it looks rather that
they are weak hitters. All the other
teams occasionally come through witn
one of those Inspiring old-time hitting
bees. But never the Seals. They
haven't a regular player hitting In the
.300 class.
Team's Fielding Fair.
In the inatti;r of fielding the team
compares pretty well with the other
teams. A good defense keeps the other
slile from winning, but '.t requires also
a good att.tr-k to get enough runs to win
for vour side. In baserunning the team
Is inferior to all others in the league,
for the very good reason that there are
but one or two even fairly fleet run
ners on the team.
Furthermore, the Seals don't play the
game like winners, nor make the most
of their chances. They lack dash and
spirit and a leader to Instil this Into
them. -They work like hired help. In a
sort of that's-enough-for-me-today
manner. There lies the biggest fault.
Those qualities that make a winner
which now are lacking in the San Fran
cisco team mav be gained later in the
season, but It's doubtful. Class tells
and the class don't appear to be there.
