Fulton brushes through hl "turn" without o m'vb aa n mawinf hi hair.

Ant let it be known that from now a Mister Collins, who la attaining fame as manager of Fulton, wisbea hla protea- known aa tha "fighting baavy weicnt champion of tha world." That sounds like pretty goi stuff that word -fighting. Collins saya Wiiiard is the bunk and that -Kernel' Miller Is "bunkier." If there la any auoh word. Aa l-na; aa you talk nhoat Fulton to Mike Collins, whose home town Is win r.-ap.jlie. you can draw a amile from th Irishman's "phjrslo." but once you K't off the trail and mention the name of Jr.it W II lard or Promoter Mil iar o i are choosing an aritument for ourself. While we were putting the "why and -wherefores' to Mister Collins i in-s.-ertger rushed Into the conference with a t-legratn front Kddle Cochran, of the Kansas City Journal, who la holding tha 1:00 forfeit posted by the boxers to guarantee their appearance In a rinc July . asking Collins what disposition he wished mad of tha forfeit. "When we slgn-d articles for tha f!nt ea-h. fighter posted a check for $! a a guarantee of good faith, said Collins. -.Vow Cochran wants to know what I want to do about It. What can I do Z The money la a minor con sidratlon with us. What Fulton want la to get that big dub In a ring. J re Mdeatea Meetlag. "I kai positive Information from tha Fast that Willard haa been trying for the tat three weeks to ret Into shape for the fiatit. hut v-as forced to Siva It ur In disgust. Whether or not hla attempts were slntere Is a matter of conjecture. m firmly convinced that Willard had no Intention of ever fight ing Ki"n. -Colonel Miller has dilly-dallied long with tha proposition of selecting a place for -aha bout until he drew tha wrath of everybody In the country. There la no question In my mind but vhat the irfer of Tortorl. h and Hinkle at New Orleans for II. ..SO was a bona tile off-r and Miller should hate if rented It If he wanted Willard to fight luilon. Fulton today claims the "ishting heavyweight championship of lie world and I open to fight anyone at any place. They tan bring on Jack lenipr. Willard or anybody else and we olll take him on." Fallen Real Flakier. Fulton 1. next to Jens Willard. tha IiIWi boer we have seen. He is taller than Jeffries. Corbett or Johnson and weighs about 2 1 1 pounds. In his soarring exhibition yesterday at Pan taze it waa Impossible to get a line n hi ability because Kendall, who 1 boxing with him. Is a mtnue quin ttty as far aa ability with the mitts go. Fulton handled himself yesterday a If he knew all the ropes of the came, hut one cannot pass on the abll. t'v of a fighter by watching him per form with a boxer of Kendall's ability. Manas-r Collins takes exception to the siorie that Fulton bas not done his share toward boxing for patriotic causes. If Collins statement Is correct the Minnesota tliant hss taken part In l benefit performances without ask Ing for any publicity and has paid all of the expense incurred by himself and party, such as transportation, etc., out of hi own pocket. -We had a little Jam In San Fran-cIs-a with the promoters, hut were en tirely In the right. Fulton was bound by his contract with Colonel Miller rot to appear In any contests unUI hi bout -tth Willard. If It was Just an exhibition bout they wanted in San Franctoo it would have been all right, bat they wanted a real fight. The promoters even telegraphed Colonel Miller for permission, but he turned tciem down. Fulton has done a thou sand times a much for the cause as the people who took pleasure In pan ning him for not appearing In the San Francisco bouts." Rill I .card.

Next Sunday night the Buckaroos start out on their first road trip, play ing against the Tacoma Tigers at Ta coma.

Portland fans are interested in the showing Lee Dempsey is making with the Seattle Club. Dempsey is a recruit first-sacker from Rock Island, III., dug up by Pete Lister and recommended to Portland as being a major league pros pect.

Wash., May 13.- Washington State College defeated Whitman College in basketball here to- It was some drubbing! After hold ing the Franklin hitters to six hits and one, run for eight innings, Ichabod Knudson, star hurler of the Lincoln High School team, blew up in the ninth after two men were out and al lowed five hits. This, coupled with a few errors by the outfield, gave Frank lin six runs and the game. 7 to 0, Yesterday's loss cost Lincoln first place and probably a chance for the cham pionship, as it has three more strong teams to meet. Ed Thompson's pitching and "Nig" Gallo's fielding were the features of the game. Tne big Quaker twiner struck out 14 of the opposition and allowed only two hits. Both of them were made in the fourth inning. "Nig" Gallo, the third baseman of the Rail splitters, made some wonderful stops of hard liners and his throws were bullet-like. Franklin started the scoring in the first Inning, when Thomas scored on Rogoway's overthrow of third. Thomas would have been an easy out had not Rogoway thrown the ball a little too high. From that inning until the ninth the game developed into a pitchers' battle. . The Franklin team played like a bunch of major leaguers. They took advantage of every misplay made by the Railsplitters and clearly outplayed their rivals. Lincoln I. Cole.l.... G. Cole.. . . Knudson. p.. Heimke.l. ..

Vuited States Navy, as its president, and electing Dr. Horace Betts. of Wilmington, DeL; Ralph L. Spotts, of New York, and Edward H. Morse, of Hartford. Conn., as its vice president, the member of the Ameri cas Amateur Trapshooters' Association acted wisely. Aa sportsmen they are of tha finest type. - The American Amateur Trapshooters' Association has been in existence two years, now entering upon it third year. and In that time it has done a wonder ful good for trapahootlng and trap shooters. The Interstate Trapshooting Association really in the National or ganisation of trapshooters. for it con duct and keeps track of trapshrting tournaments and promote shouting championships In the same manner' as the Amateur Athletic Union promotes track and field athletics. The A. A. T. A. Is working along line that doesn't interfere with the work of the Interstate Association and yet the idea of the A. A. T. A. is to become the National trapshooting or ganisation. Any time any. other or ganisation cares to take over the work that it has been doing for -6 years the Interstate Association will gladly go to the background, for It Is the desire and ha been for many years of the Interstate Association that the trap shooter take complete charge of the sport, revise the rules of the sport to uit condition a they exist today, and to have more men interested in the promotion of the sport. And the A. A. T. A. hopes to "go over the top" with all hands shooting. While the A. A. T. A. la a National organisa tion, it has no state organisation, does not hav any annual conventions. . no big gatherings yearly like the goTT and tennis associations but state organi sations and annual gatherings are coming. The plan at this time Is to form a state association of the A. A. T. A. In very slat In th Union, and In each of the Canadian provinces. Ah effort will be made to get every trapshooting, gun and hunt club to become member of the state organisation, have them elect officers yearly and make known what they want In a trapshooting way. With an organisation In every state delegates could be chosen to attend the National convention, which could be held during the time of the Grand American handicap without inconve nience to anyone for every shooter who is anyone attends the Grand Amer ican. At this ann,ual gathering trapshoot ing rules might be amended and pro vision made for bettering the condi tion of the sport. Practically all im provements to the sport these days, promotion work, etc., is done by the Interstate Trapshooting Association. There is a great field for the American Amateur Trapshooters' Association, and with the new officers much should be accomplished this year. This is the third term in offare for Lieutenant Sousa and Ir. Betts. Ralph L Spotts. second vice-president of, the organization, is the best shot in the New York Athletic Club, and twice has been the 200-target. 16-yard champion of America. He was a member of the squad that broke 497 of the 500 targets at Maplewood two years ago a record performance.' E. H. Morse, third vice president. Is the treasurer of the Hart ford Gun Club, a big game hunter of exceptional skill, an expert with all firearms and though - shooting at the traps only three fears he is ono of the best shots in the Kast. The officers chose Harold A. Knight, of Syracuse, N. Y... as secretary-treasurer, and I W. Hutchlns. of New York City, as the general manager. It will be up 10 those two to put the A. A. T. A. over. Mr. Hutchlns. until he became connected with the A. A. T. A., was the editor or All outdoors, and Air. Knight, too. was a newspaper and 'magazine writer. Hutchfns is rear commodore of the American Canoe Association. There is every reason to believe that the A. A. T. A. will have a membershin of upwards of 100.000 members when father Time rings in a new year on us. Vernon. . 23 .423 Boston... . Cleveland. . Chicago New York New York. Chicago. . itt.sburR. .

Represent ative Gillett, of Massachusetts, acting Republican leader, directed the atten tion of the House tcrday to a published account of a speech delivered in New York last night by George Creel, chair man of the committee on public infor mation. Quoting; Mr. Creel as saying in reply to a question from the audi ence as to whether all members or Congress have loyal hearts: 'I do not like slumming, so I will not explore into the hearts of Congress." What do you think of a public offi cial who would make a statement of that kind?" asked Mr. Gillett, addrcss- np Democratic Leader Kitchin. "I would rather see It verified by Mr. Creel or some one else before I accept it as the truth," Mr. Kitchin replied, "but if Mr. Creel made such a statement he is not worthy of the re spect of any member of this House or any patriotic citizen of the United States." .
