Jes started something when ba tnnounrtj that ha would bus any man la tha world (or th championship, tha antlra proceed cf tha contest to g to tha lied Croaa. Sine b!a original announcement alorleg kae been coming thick and faat from all direction regarding bla offer. Mike Colltna baa bla own Ideaa about Wlllard and In Iba following letter he eta forla bia tlrat of the heavywetsbt championship. Ja Wlllard In particu lar and h e own protege. Fred Fulton: Millard Held Afraid, t W 1 1 lard had a Jl-dir notice prior to l'i.tmbr 20 thit Fulton would claim the title If Wlllard refused to niet bint. It u not a question of iinnr, a we know Wlllard ha had plenty of nrfer to bo Fulton, offer ranging from 1)0.000 to 171.000. Through (car he la-oorei all offer. In a way we think ,he used very Kood Judgment. Anyhow, on Iecember 17 three di)'i before hi ao-callcd title wj claimed, ba aaw himself going Into ob -urity and aaw Fred Fulton a. chain pion. He offered to box anyone In the world. providing all proceed in to the lied Crou. 1 Immediately answered fcim that Fred Fulton would bos Jeaa lil.ird. the entire proceeds to Co to the Red Proa, also we would fctve him all the t me be wanted to net ready and we wer willing to agree to any other term ha demanded. We mad only one aimpla demand Wlllard muit larn articles on or before December 110 and poat a forfeit, a w did. to prove bla sincerity in the matter. Did ba do It? No. And there 1 only one.an awer why he did not. So. after doing everything that waa necessary, trying every way In the world to coax Wlllard Into the rin with Fulton, we put up a forfeit and rave Wlllard 30 daya to agree to fight Fulton or Fulton would claim the title, same aa we did on I'ecember 20. and now aa champion I feel that In the fu ture Fulton must have soma voice In dlctal.no; terms. C ban plea Warta $300,000. W especially take exception to a statement given out In Chicago by Wlllard since December 20, saying that Fulton waa a slacker, not a good ciU in. etc.. becausa he could not afford to give all his end to the Red Cross. "Speaking for Fulton. I will say he I., not a wealthy man. In fact, ha has no money. To my knowledge ho has boxed on three different show for the lied Cross and other soldiers' benefit within the last two month. Also we paid our own transportation, hotel bill, and Fred Fulton gladly gave his service complimentary. Now, Mr. Wll lard. what did you ever do for tha Ked Cross or any other benefit? "Aa we sea your case, you are re ported to bo worth about 1300,000. It Is also rumored that you never did any thing for the Ked Cros or anyone else outside of yourself. If I remember right, when you had your wild circus In Brooklyn. N. Y.. the Red Croaa had a benefit show arranged at Madison Squar Garden and wa sorely In deed I of fundi Ail high-class actors and actresses gladly donated their services and an Invitation waa sent to you at Brooklyn, asking you to please come over to tha Garden and box an exhibi tion with your sparring partner and if you did not -care to do that, to please come over and be Introduced, aa It was for tha Red Cross. If I remember right they sent a machine after you. What did you doT What did he say? "Now If you really are setting liberal In your old days and are really sincere In becoming friendly to the Red Croaa, I would suggest that you glva the Red Cross a check for f 10.000 out of that 1100.000 bank roil of yours. m iliar Nat la Army I X. Tt miarht be well to remind Jess 'Wlllard that h sent a personal wire last Spring to President Wilson, say ing thfit he was ready and wanted to join the United fitalea Army and fight for Unci Sam. lis got a lot of pub licity, etc- and. much to his surprise, he received an Invitation from the United states Government, saying they could use him. L'ld anyone since ever bear of Jeaa Wlllard Joking the Army or even at tempting do so? "We bava 1J00O to bet Jes Wlllard at even money that Fred Fulton atops Jess Wlllard Inside of 20 rounda We kindly ask Mr. Willard to take this bet and sign up for a decision right with Fulton or acknowledge Fulton aa cham pion, as we claim him to be at this time.

The latter pari i or early In January sees the executive board aret together ana appoint com mltteea. From present indications there will ba no championship tournament In tha East and the chances are in dutiea of committeea will be light. An official high In the ranks or tne golfing world says that every golf club In the country enouia eucourajr mi fimt among th lunlor members. Last scaaon th juniors were practically th only set of golfers who were encour aged to maintain the competitive siae. Th Pacific Coast clubs held their rhmmnlonshlDS and all were well pat ronlsed. A majority of the Eastern and Middle West club canceled their com netitlve events, but It Is now felt that all clubs should encourage competition. especially among their Junior members. It la from th boys of today that th chamrlon of tomorrow spring, and nn less th lad receive proper Incentive there soon will be a dearth of material here, a 1 th case In the British Isle. It has never been customary In Eng land to provide for the younger ele ment, and that may account for the fact that the champions and the plus men over there rarely are developed until long past the "kid" age. Tha one brlaht exception was A. O. Barry, a col legian 20 years old. who won tha ama teur crown at Preatwick In 1905. On th other hand, a goodly portion of the championship winners In this country either have been collegians or young players. This baa been more particularly so since the first promis ing lot of th younger school were de veloped, and began in 1902. when Ixui Jamea sprang a surprise by winning at Glen View. Two year later, U. Cband ler Egan, a student at Harvard, who now resides at Medford. won the ama teur crown, and he repeated the fol lowing year. Then there was Robert Gardner, who first won th National tltl while at Yale. Jerome Travera. when he first won the V. H. G. A. amateur championship at Euclid In 1907. waa only 21. while Francla Oulmet had not reached hi majority when h eclipsed Vardon and Ray In that memorable play-off of the National open at Brookllne. Charlea Evana, Jr.. won many honor aa a youngster In the West, although It waa not until 11 that he finally won the amateur title at Merlon. Taking It all In all. therefore, tha golfer In this country make tnelr mark at a much earlier1 age than their cousins In Great Britain. WAR HITS FOOTBALL RECEIPTS University of Pittsbnrg to Adopt Policy of 'Retrenchment. Successful aa Pittsburg's football season waa from a sporting standpoint, th receipt showed a falling off from previous years. War conditions, of course, were responsible and the result will be a general policy of retrench ment, sine proceeds from the gridiron sport, as with other Institutions, an nually are relied upon to provide sinews for the conduct of other sports. There will be the usual basketball schedule, this Indoor game being some thing of a producer Itself. There la a probability, however, that there will be no wrestling and that baseball will be conducted only on an Intramural plan. Handball Game Is Close.

Tcunmy Simpson, the Oakland and Emeryville boxing impresario, whose tented arena In the former home of the race course Is the envy of fight promoters the state over, is going to make the trip to Portland with Battling Ortega. As matters stand a,t present, Ortega Is scheduled to box in Portland on January 25, and Simpson figures on getting away from her about Janu ary 17. Tommy doesn't talk as fluently as soma boxing managers and. promoters but he's equipped with a lot of first class Ideas and if you dig down below the akin you. will find him worth while This announcement by the Emeryville man of hia plan to go to Portland mean his arena will be, shut down for a'couple of weeks. If not longer. While he doesn't say so. It looks as if Simp son thinks a rest would be a mighty good thing for his constituents. His game has been fairly good since he re opened the arena, but he hasn't made any big money and there la none In sight. This Ortega boy ought to make a hit with Portland followers of the game. Hs Is aggressive and of the boring-in type. It you like action and plenty of It. the Battler is the boy for your money. He is. always trying, never stalling, and that means a whole lot. Ortega, as you may have surmised, is not particularly clever, but he is same to th cor and can hand out a good punch. Th only chap in these parts who ever handed th Battier a good stiff beating was Willi Ritchie and. aa you know, Willi Is well above the average. a Doubtless you read In the California dispatches that Willie Ritchie may have to abandon his post as a boxing instructor and go m with the rest of th boys In the National Army. Now that's to a certain extent misleading. It Is possible, of course, but highly Im probable. The situation briefly is that the local draft board haa insisted on placing the former lightweight champion of the world In the first class. When- Willie sent down his questionnaire from Camp , Fremont, be stated that he waa In the military service as a civilian employe of th Government. He didn't claim exemption, but merely stated facta. Some on of that draft board prob ably had a distate for fighters. At all events, the remark was passed: "If ha wants to fight, let him be a real fighter." , And then Ritchie's nam was placed up In the front ranks. The fighter took it philosophically; said he was willing to obey orders and if bis country wanted him to go Into the Army, all well and good; he would be glad to do so. Just before he left for the north, Ritchie made this statement: "I'll go where my country tells me to so. I didn't make any claim for ex emption, but merely stated that I was employed by the Government, Person ally, I would like to remain with' the 91st division and think I can do more for them as a boxing Instructor than in the trenches. However, that's up to my superiors to decide. I will go aa I am ordered and go cheerfully." According to Information here, the only way Ritchie can obtain any change is by an appeal to the district board. Or, if he so desires, he can take it up with the President of the United States. Quite likely It will be handled through high Army officials at Gamp Lewis. Ritchie Is well known and pop ular with the commissioned officers. I happen to know from conversations I have had that they are favorably im pressed with the work he has accom plished. They want to hold him, and the chances are the local draft board will discover that the Ritchie case is taken out of their hands. Certainly. Willie didn't seem to bother to any great ex tent while In San Francisco bvej the outlook. we discovered the other afternoon. A year ago San Francisco bad a popular four-round scrapper by the name of Walter McDevitt. He battled at the Association Club and on rare occasions at Dreamland. Then he disappeared. Nobody seemed to know just where he had gone. The mystery was solved this week. McDev ltt took a course in barber! ng and has blossomed forth as a full-fledged ton sorlal artist. R. B. Benjamin, manager of Willie Hoppe, and aS'tlreless talker," as some of the press boys say, has a new scheme .for forcing Jess Willard Into the ring. Benny's idea 4s' to force all cham pions, no matter In what branch of sport. Into action for Red Croaa He would give a week or more of big stunts at Madison Square Garden, New York, and In that way believes he could raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is his Idea to appoint a committee of the sporting editors of some of the leading papers of the country to act as a committee. They would vote as to logical opponents. Say they picked Fred Fulton to meet Jess Willard. Then they would politely invite Wlllard to aonate his services. If Wlllard should refuse for any rea son ihey would stamp Jess as no long er a champion. Benjamin believes the newspapers the country over would agree to such a scheme, and that they could whip into line any reluctant title holder. The plan Is to have one night for billiards and pool, another for wrestling, a couple or three for boxing. and so on down the line. It wouldn't be necessary to hold all these championships in New York, ac cording to Benjamin, but they could be scattered around the country. The All fighters do not stay fighters, as SKATERS' ROW PATCHED TJP. The threatened rupture be tween the Western Skating As sociation and Its parent body, the International Skating Union, failed to materialise when Secre tary Frank M. Kalteux. of the W. 8. A., received word from Pitts burg that the troubles of the skaters in that town and the Eastern Skaters' As saclatlon had been patched up. Dr. P. M. SexSexias, governor of skating in Pennsylvania, was giv en a place on the board of con trol, with other representation in the Eastern governing body, thereby satisfying the Pittsburg skaters and recognising the W. 8. A. for the year 1918, on account at the membership cards already having been Issued before the trouble came out. President Charles A. Dean, of the National A. A. U, aided the skaters la Pittsburg to straighten out the trouble. In One Game Pirate Outfielder In Ten Innings Amassed Total of 1 0 Put-Outs Jacobsen, of St. Louis Browns, Is Good. friends of Max Carey, the fleet looted outfielder of the Pittsburg Pirates, are up In arms again. It al ready has been shown where by scor ing in violation of the rules he has been beaten out of stolen bases to which ha was entitled, and now comes Ernest Lanlgan to show" that Max was .getting the grand snub when Irwin M. Howe waa hailing Oscar Felsch, of the White Sox, as the busy outfielder of all times In the major leagues. The honors for chances accepted by an outfielder really go to Carey. The fielding records of the Ameri can and National leagues show these figures for 1917: Q. Po. A. E. Max Carey 153 440 28 10 Uscar Felach 152 440 24 it is a remarkable coincidence that the two record holders made the same number of putouts Felsch in one less game than Carey played. Carey, it will be noted, had four more assists and he also bobbled three more chances than did felsch. Jacobson Puts Out 401. Bill Jacobson, of the- St. Louis Browns,' had 401 putouts in 141 games in tne outlioid In 1917, according to the official American League record, but it seems to be pretty generally agreed that Jacobson's putouts at first base were recorded in his "outfield" work so that Carey and Felsch stand alone as in the "400" class among major league outfielders last season. Detailed data on the work of Carey and Felsch show that the White Sox outfielder played seven games In which he did not have a putout, while his Pirate rival played in five games where he did not gather a chance. Carey's large days were the same In number as Ms lean ones five. Hia largest afternoon's work was that of August 20, ' at Brooklyn, When he amassed ten putouts in a game that went ten Innings. Frank Miller, of Pittsburg, pitched that game and he shut the Robins out 1 to 0. Two days later. In the record breaking 22-inning game between Broolclyn and Pitts burg, Carey had seven putouts and one assist. Carey raked in seven flies In the game of April 21 with Chicago, the team not getting into overtime. Miller was on the slab for the Pirates, but lost, 2 to 1. Carey Break Record Miller and busy days for Carey seemed to go hand in hand, for against New York on June 16 Carey had six putouts and one assist, the Giants win ning, 4 to 1. The one 1917 record broken in the fielding line in the National League was by Carey. The greatest number of putouts by National League players In one season, from 1901 to 1917, in clusive, are as follows: Pitchers, 89. by Willis, Boston, In 1904. Catchera, 729, by Meyers, New York, 11(11. First basemen, 1(132, by ivonetchy," Boa- ton, in lull. Second basemen, 450, in 1912. Third basemen, 229, delphla. In 190!. Shortstops, 407, by Maxanvllle, Boston, In 1914. Outfielders, 440, by Carey, Pittsburg-, In 1917. . The greatest number of assists in the National follow: Pitchers, 141. by Mathewson, New Tork, In 190S. - Catchers, 214, Moran, Boston, In 1903. , First basemen, 152, by Tenney, Boston, in 1905. Second basemen, 623, by Hug-gina, Cincin nati. In 190S. Third basemen, 871, by Leach, Pittsburg, In 1904. Shortstops, C74, by Maranvllle, Boston, In 1914. Outfielders, 89, by Mitchell, Cincinnati.

Apparently it is the one way In which there can be any action so far as chaps of the Wlllard type are con cerned. Most pf the champions willing ly will do their bit for the country. Wlllard seems to want to eat his cake and keep It, too. - The allied promoters are giving the four-roond game in San Francisco an other whirl. They started a week ago and plan to bring the game back to its own. Their scheme is to use local tal ent, keeping down, the price of medals and build up favorite sons. Instead of Importing Easterners and handing over all the receipts to them. So far the shows have not made any coin for the men behind them, but they feel certain that -given a month or so fistina will be on its feet. San Francisco must have some sort of amusement, and good fights will draw. It's not absolutely essential to have headliners. The spectators want fighters and are willing to hand over their coin for the right sort of programme. WHITE. 16. 17. 22. 81: KING. 18. Black to play and win. PROBLEM NO. 597.
