Willard or Fulton after their championship match. Many fans believe Billy Miske, left, beat Fulton in
their recent 10 round battle. Jack Dempsey, right, stopped Carl Morris in six rounds, a feat that Willard

SPORTSMEN'S associations In 2S
Rtates have selected dates for
their trapshooting championships.
These and the dates of other im
portant trapshooting competitions
have been announced by the Inter
state Trapshooting association in Its
1918 list of registered tournaments.
Tournaments registered thus far
number exactly 300 ; 61 others have
been applied for. including 25 state
tournaments, and when matters are
adjusted these tournaments will be
registered. The number of tourna
ments does not compare with those
of last year or the year before
when more than BOO were registered
but It Is a wonderful number con
sidering the conditions under which
we are laboring.
Many Are la Service
Trapshooting was the last sport
to be affected by the war. More
than 100,000 trapshooters have - en
tered the service, and with such
numbers doing their best for "Uncle
6am and democracy, it Is only na
tural that the number of tourna
ments should decrease.
The tournaments as they arc listed
by months are : March, 5 ; April,
2.4 ; May. 85 ; June, 70 ; July, SO ;
August, 30 ; September, 28 ; October,

Wars Big Help to Baseball
HIGH TIDE OF GAME
American System Superior
New York, March 30. This Is
certainly the occasion when all good
men should dash madly to the as
sistance of the party the baseball
party. For, when this war is over,
an event which has always over
taken every war, baseball Is going
to be sitting up and taking nourish
ment with an enthusiasm never be
fore duplicated.
The long, hard summer that looms
ahead Just now is just one of the
hard points which must be taken
into consideration as the cloud with
its silver lining gets nearer. If

that are due to bust fore and aft it
is going to crawl forth from this
world's series wearing a brand new
laurel wreath and cjinklng a lot of
dollars' in the old 'pocket.
CItII War Gave Start
Every war. as has been stated
many a time, has helped make the
popularity of baseball. Tjte Civil
war, in fact, gave the national game
its start on the high road to fortune.
And the Spanish-American war
came along and gave the thing a
push that settled it for once and all
right at the top of the list of Ameri
can games.
But those things are going to
fade into insignificance, superlative
Insignificance, when the Job of ex
terminating kultur ds finished.
Baseball, as was told by the United
Press in a series of stories on the
training camps, is being played so
extensively that practically every
American soldier is getting some
training at the game he heretofore
has been content to sit off and cheer.
When these youths get back from
Germany they're going to know so
much baseball and are going to be
so enthusiastic about it that they're
going to crowd every baseball park
In the country minor league and
major league.
Coaldn't Hold Crowd
Just think it over for a while and
Imagine a world'a series under such
conditions. Given two of the largest
parks In the country, with two popu
lar teams to form the attraction,
and there would be no limit to the
attendance. The mark set in 1916
by the tremendous crowd which
crowded lnself into Braves Field In
Boston would have to fall. There
would bo nothing else for It to do.
Never In the history of the United
States has sports been so popular.
Never in the history of the world
has a nation thrown Itself lno
sports training so systematically and
thoroughly as has the United States.
Germany's Turnverelns and the
stupid gymnastic ' system of condi
tioning men is not to be mentioned
in the same breath.

FOOTBALL
TO REVIVE,
IS BELIEF
-
Activity in Other Forms of Sport
and War Department's Sanc
tion, Moving "Big Three."
NBW YORK, March 30. The resump
tion of boat racing, baseball, track
and other sporta at the bigger univer
sities of the east foreshadows a return
of football when next fall rolls around.
The terrible blow that was dealt col
lege sports in 1917 probably will not be
repeated this year. At any rate it may
be stated positively that the impetus
given sports by the spring and early
summer events already given sanction
will give sports a start for the winter
that should branch Into something real
before the end of the year. t
Idea Is Tremendous Oae
War or no war, it has been found
that athletics must be carried on. The
attention the war department Is pay
ing to sports has had some effect in
producing this feeling, but the cry of
the public and the athletes themselves
has had more to do with It. College
mentors have come to -the conclusion
that, arbitrarily cutting off a man's
chance for physical development and
concentrating time on other things
reads like the old proverb : "All work
and no play makes Jark a dull boy."
War-time football, therefore, may be
looked forward to. No less an authority
than Coach Robinson of the University
of Pennsylvania, believes that the ad
vent of another autumn will find east
ern colleges going along at the same old
pace. Pennsylvania, by the way, was
one of the few big eastern colleges that
Ignored the troubles Incident to the war
and went right ahead with Its athletic
problems and no one can say that
Pennsylvania has not done its share of
war work.
Football Suffered Maeh
Sports suffered through the lack of
big games last year. Football was only
a half-way sort of game with the splen
dor of Harvard and Yale, Harvard and
Princeton and Princeton and Yale. There
Is no use to surround the Issue with
camouflage. Yale, Harvard and Prince
ton uphold the torchlight which leads
football.
Without these big games football Is
only bo so. These games are to foot
ball what the world'a series is to base
ball. They bring a climax of glory,
gritty determination, and drama to the
end of the football season. The army
and navy always have supplied a color
that was sadly missed last year. This
big game, however, seems definitely
abandoned, but the array and ravy rea
sons are far more important than those
which emanated from Cambridge and
New Haven when hostilities broke out.
West Point will play 21 baseball
games. The annual contest with the
Navy nine will take place June 1.

JACK DEMPSEY LUCKY
BIRD NOT TO CONTEST
WITH LEAK PLASTERER
Mere Fact That Slugger Is Hanging Around Waiting for Chance
Will Mean That Fulton or Willard Must Meet Him Soon.
After Championship Is Fought on July 4.
EW YORK, March 30. Jack
all. A match with Fred Fulton would have been a bad thing
for the young meteor who has been whipping the cream and
other parts of the heavyweight brigade. Chances are Fulton would
have given him a licking at his present stage of development, and
these would have been nothing but a' lot of glory and some excel
lent press-agenting material if Jack had been so unfortunate as to
get himself into a match with Jess Willard.
There is no doubt that the public wanted to see Dempsey-and
Fulton in action. In view of the fact that the public makes 'the
bouts and popularizes matches, it may be considered that Fulton
and the promoters went wrong in not pulling off a Dempsey bout.
But there should be no wail from
the Dempsey camp, for Dempsey la
progressing in nice, easy fashion,
.setting himself ready for a cham
pionship bout In the future that will
mean a lot more to him than a bout
of that size at present
Will Have to Fight Seoa
With a man like Dempsey on the
horizon Fred Fulton will have to
fight soon, provided he is successful
in wresting the championship from
Willard. And, if Willard success
fully defends his title against Fulton
he will be forced Into a match with
the West Virginia-Utah slugger.
Keen competition In the heavy
weight ranks la stirring up a lot of
favorable talk. The fans are eager
for the thing to be threshed out and
started all over again. Even In
these war times, the bouts that are
in prospect look like record-breakers
in the matter of gate receipts
and attendance.
Horaa Coaeeded Small Chaaee
When Jess Willard fought Frank
Moran In the only bout he haa con
descended to enter since he defeated
Jack Johnson, Moran waa conceded
only a very small chance of win
ning. The bout waa only ten rounds
a mere exhibition affair in the
ranks of the heavyweights, yet that
bout drew more than $100,000. Madi
son Square Garden held one of he
greatest crowds that ever saw a
boxing match. With these facts In
mind. It seems safe to assert that,
with a popular challenger like Ful
ton going lnte the lists for a bout
longer than the degrading ten rounds
that have been prevalent, the re
ceipts and gate will overstep any
hlng ever seen.
There won't be the chance for
advertising and bitter argument
that existed In 1910, when Jeffries
was defeated. But the people are
eager to see the bout, and there will
be a fair amount of pre-flght talk.

delphia girl who as a result of In
