PRAISING
F. FULTON
Nlinnesotan Won Right to Be
Classed as Ready for Willard
by Beating Moran.
By Jack Velock
N1
EW YORK. March 25. (I. N, S.)
VrtiA Fulton won more than, the
right to be classed' as ready for Willard
when he beat Frank Moran.
The ponderous plasterer set the fistic
population of the country to jabbering
about him, and he has turned up with
a great many more admirers than he
formerly had.
Fulton accomplished In three rounds
what Wlllbrd failed to do in 10, when
he won a technical knockout over Moran.
Frank's seconds would never have tossed
the sponge into the ring had they
thought there was a chance for their
man, so there was nothing in theway
of an alibi left for the blond from Pitts
burgh. Moran Aggressive
According to the story of the bout
by rounds, Moran had the better of the
going in the first two sessions. He went
out to meet Fulton and banged him
around with everything he had.
Then Fulton came back, and, zowle!
with two solid wallops he took ajl the
stamina out of Moran. In previous
bouts Fulton showed an unmistakable
sign of hating punishment. He had a
habit o f complaining to the referee con
tinually, that did not make a good im
pression at the ringside.
But apparently he has gotten over
this fault. loosing it meant everything
to him In a pugilistic way, for the fight
fan doesn't like that sort otthlng.
Woald Be Good Boat
Since he beat Moran, Fulton Is en
Joying the knowledge that at least 60
per cent of the bugs who formerly fig
ured that there was some ochre In his
makeup have perished the thought and
are now conceding him a good chance
with Willard.:
Fulton's chances against Willard, as
the writer sees them, depend on two
things!
-vOne is his confidence in himself when
he . eventually stands facing Willard,
awaiting the bell for the first round.
The other is what Williard can do
in the way of getting himself into fight
ing trim, and how highly he values his
title. .
A fight between these two battlers,
with Fulton supremely confident and
Willard determined to hold his crown,
would be well worth seeing.

DEMPSEY
IS CLASSY
RING MAN
Coast Heavyweight Boxer Has
Class Sticking Out All Over
Him, Says Easterner.
NEW YORK, March 25. (I. N. 8.)
Jack Dempsey has class sticking
out all over him, says an eastern
writer.
There has not been a newcomer in
heavyweight ranks for years who could
hold a candle to this shifty, hard-hitting
boy from the Pacific Coast, who
has the whole country talking about his
chances of wearing the world's heavy
weight crown. "
Dempsey Is a bear. He Is there in
so many different ways that It is hard
to believe he will not punch his way
to the championship within a remark
ably short length of time, and if he is
coached properly he will be a champion
one of these days.
But, good as he is, he can stand a
little more seasoning. Every battle he
gets under his belt will boost him along
toward the title, but he should not be
pushed too fast.
It a Youngster
Dempsey is a youngster. He has the
best years of his life before him and
he has quite a bit to learn. His ability
to handle himself in the ring is remark
able for a boxer of his proportions, for
he is fast enough to make some of the
old-timers conjure up pictures of Bob
f itzsimmons ana ne can mt like a
pile-driver.
But Dempsey has one habit that may
hold him back for a while if he should
happen to run Into an opponent who
packs a strong enough wallop to out
punch him coming into close quarters
and has the heart to use it.
He is a fighter who likes to bore
into his man. He doesn't use as much
headwork as he might use in protecting
himself, according to all reports, and
for this reason the aged Jim Flynn
managed to slip a knock-out punch
over on him when he was Just budding
into a top-notcher. But as Dempsey
goes along he is going to improve, both
in science and ring generalship.
Has Fighting Heart
The - fact that he was knocked out by
Flynn and then came back and wiped
out the stain of that defeat with
llean-cut knockout of the Pueblo fire
man proves he has a fighting heart
And that will 1 go a long way toward
landing him the title.
To all appearances Dempsey looks
like the future heUWWPlFht rhamninn
of5 the world, for the reason that he has
youth and all of the other requirements.
A knockout or two means nothing in
his young life. And that's the kind of
a fighter who gets to the top.
Mumps Is Controlled
In Camp Lewis Army
Camp Iewis. March 25. (I. N. S.)
The weekly health report Just issued and
giving the health of the camp up to
midnight Friday,, shows that while the
number of new cases of mumps Is 218,
the backbone ol the epidemic evidently
has been broken as the number la de
cidedly leas ' than that shown In the
previous . week's total. Measles claimed
36 victims, while scarlet fever had 30
as its total. The Incidence of the other
diseases was comparatively minor as
there were but four cases of German
measles, nine of lobar pneumonia and
one of erysipells.

They will not be released for publica
tion, however, until April 7.
A new championhip was also ap
proved. A doubles "contest will be held
this year for the "father and son"
championship of the United States. Last
season 240 championship tournaments
were held. The decrease this summer
is due to the fact that many of the
clubs where only a transient population
takes part have suspended title games.

would have to be members of the of'

matter was lert to be decided In in

It is likely that some change will be

Town Chance to at Least Break Even If It Is Admitted)
. Sullivan's Terms Considered Too High for Newcomer. :T
By R. A. Cronin
ASEBALL may enter Utopia in the great north
west if Judge William Wallace McCredie of Port
land has his way with the Aberdeen request for a
franchise in the Pacific Coast International
league. : . .
Judge McCredie believes the weak should be
protected by the strong, and he will carry Aber
deen's burden in the meeting of the league in Se- 1
attle Wednesday night. If Aberdeen comes into
the league, it will be with the understanding that
the stronger clubs financially give succor to the
weaker organization so that il will not be continually fighting to
keep from the breakers. In other words, the judge may try to
put over his favorite scheme of
league and dividing them equally
Aberdeen made its first plea to
McCredie Saturday afternoon and
asked hlnfto get la touch with Billy
Sullivan, the old Chicago White Sox
catcher. This task the judge duly
performed and Sullivan and Mc
Credie were closeted Sunday after
noon In Portland. The Judge laid
Aberdeen's cards before Sullivan and
asked the latter what he could do in
the way of salary.
SalllTan's Pries High
Billy must think that the war is
over and baseball In a normal con
dition, or else his apple orchard, near
New berg. Is too important to leave
for the national pastime, for he
named a figure that Aberdeen could
not meet and one that any of the
larger towns would hesitate over
even in more prosperous times.
That, in McCredle's opinion, will
eliminate Sullivan.
Aberdeen's baseball boosters asked
McCredie to visit the Grays Harbor
metropolis in the Interest of organ
ising a club. The same request oame
from from President Blewett, anda
the Judge will leave this afternoon
for that place.
"The Northwest league, like many
other leagues, has been a bit too
selfish in the past, and if it wants to
succeed and prosper It will have to
take care of the smaller towns. The
league has no right to expect Aber
deen business mem to come into the
league and make a sacrifice of from
$7000 to $8000 a season. If the league
will make its arrangements so that
the towns of smaller population will
have a chance to at least break even,
It will not have to seek new terri
tory every year. There are enough
sportsmen everywhere to back an
enterprise for sport's sake, even
though they do not realize on an in
vestment, but you can't continually
ask them to make up losses. And
this Is particularly so when we are
all contributing to beat the Huns. ,
80a them It Example
The Southern league is the finest
example I know In the line of
business strength. It never makes a
fortune nor does it lose any money
because of its good business manage
ment. If we could put the same
business measures in force in the
Northwest, it would make baseball
more substantial.
"I have always thought there 4s
too much greediness among mag
nates. They see only their own gates
and do not realize the big idea of
keeping the smaller cities going. My
idea would be to pool the receipts
and divide them evenly. Of course,
this would hit the man in the big
town hard, but he ought to be sports
man enough to see that in the long
end it will better his own business
and make the sport end stand oat
more prominently."
