MORAN DODGES FRED FULTON
Pittsburgher Offered Twenty Round

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.--word comes from
New Orleans that Frank Moran has
turned down an offer to meet Fred Full
ton there over the twenty-round distance,
although the promoters promised him that
~ he defeated Fulton he would get the
chance to meet Jess Willard at later
date. Moran's reply was to the effect
that he would meet willard or no one,

corded the Pittsburgher in his home town

From all accounts Fulton is made to

like Coffcy. Is afflicted with a glass jaw.
Practically every man OF experience who
has faced him has been able to send him
to the floor at some time during the en-
gagement. At one time Fulton became
discouraged quickly and was apt to re-

gained much confidence In himself and

STATE FOOT BALL IMPROVES
Brand of Gridiron Game Displayed
This Year Shows Big Develop
ment Of Sport.
ALL-sTATE TEAM SELECTION

A decade ago the brand of foot ball
displayed by the smaller state colleges
of Nebraska was, to say the least, medic
ere.
A decade ago II a state college coach
was questioned as to the foot ball OUT
look of his team his answer generally
ran along this channel:
Pretty good. had six men out for
practice yesterday and expect seven to-
day"
II was a tough job in the old days for
a coach to get a full squad out for prac-
tice and he practically never had two
full squads so that he could order de-
cent scrimmage. And most Of the coaches
were instructors In the colleges. teaching
the young Nebraskan Greek and Latin.
and spending only his leisure hours at
gridiron instruction.
But It is different story today As
the brand OF foot ball exhibited by the
larger colleges and universities OF the
west has developed until II stands at par
with the best the east can show, so has
the great college game improved among
Nebraska's state institutions. 1t is really
an excellent quality Of foot ball that Is
new seen when Nebraska Wesleyan,

ALONG THE BASE BALL BEAT
National Board Awards Pa Rourke
$3.50 on Claim Against Spokane
Northwestern Loop Club.
AIEswoRTH CANNOT BE FOUND

Pa Rourke has been awarded the snug
sum OF $50 bucks by the national board
OF arbitration. Spokane is the club which
must pay out the coin.
1t will be remembered that a year ago
Earl Chase was given to Spokane and
Omaha was to get Win Noyes, pitcher.
Rourke was to pay an additional sum In
cash when Noyes reported here.
Then Noyes refused to report and
pulled the old stuff that he was a freq
agent. After much fusslng and fuming
Rourke told Spokane the club could keep
both Noyes and Chase for $3.50. Spokane
agreed.
But Spokane forgot to pay Rourke the
coin, probably as the Northwestern
league was about to blow up all season.
The loop weathered the storm, however.
so Rourke took the matter before the
national board and was awarded the
judgment. Now the national commission
and national board is hold ng about 500
of Spokane s money from TRAITS, sales,
trades and the like. and Rourke has been
promised that the $40 will be held out.
So he'll get 1t sometime this winter to
help tide him out.
Ainsworth Disappears.
One OF Pas new athletes has disap-
peared. His name is Ainsworth. Aims
worth Is a pitcher Pa purchased last
summer from Fort Wayne. Some thirty
or forty days ago he sent Ainsworth a
contract. addressing the letter to the lit
tie Pennsylvania town In which Aims
worth lives. Up TO date Ainsworth has
failed to reply and hasn't even acknowi-
edged receipt of the contract.
President Heilbroner of the Central
league, in which Ainsworth played las:
year, says he Is a good, reliable chap
and that Rourke won't have any trouble.
Heilbroner said probably Ainsworth
wasn't home when the letter arrived.
Name Not on Reserve List.
A peculiar occurrence regarding Aims
worth had Rourke frightened when the
reserve lists were announced. The name
OF Ainsworth was not to be found on
either the Omaha or Fort Wayne reserve
lists and 1t looked like the hurler was a
free agent. But Rourke luckily had a
copy Of his letter to Farrell. placing the
twirler on his list and he fixed the mat
! ter up at the recent Frisco meeting.
Rourke and Frank c. zehrung had a
conference here yesterday on Western
league affairs. It was the second time
Rourke had met the new president. They
merely talked over the general situation
and discussed advisable policies for the
league to pursue.
