GREATEST PLAYER
IS HANS WAGNER

WOW in New York
Carnegie. Carnegie! What's in
|Carnegie?" asks the cub sport
writer.
That's the place that has the
honor of housing the greatest ball
player that ever wore a pair of
spikes" answered Barney That's
the town, you know, where Honus
Wagner lives"
oh" exclaimed the cub.
There have been other great ball
players" continued Barney. and
there are some great ones now, but
l always will feel that Wagner was
the greatest. In his prime he could
hit. throw. field and run with the
best of them. other players may be
were a little better on the whole
average, but one thing you must re-
member-Wagner was out there try
ing day after day. We never had 10
fear that he would get excited dur
ing a crucial series and do things
that would result in his being sus-
pended for a week or two-suspend-
ed just at a time when we needed
him most.
I'VE always can count on Wagner
playing 1874 games a year unless sick
or disabled. We always can depend
upon him; always knew he would
be with us when we needed him.
And SO, because of this greatest
virtue of all. and because Of his
terrific hitting, his great fielding.
running and throwing, l believe that
Wagner always should rank as the
greatest player the game has pro-
duced."

FULTON To HAVE
FIRST CHANCE To
WIN RING HONOR
WIZARDS Manager Insists
That less Will Keep Agree
ment-LOoking For Club
to Handle Affair.
BY Sam II. Hall.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Fred Fulton
is going to get the first match with
Jess Willard.
Tom Jones and the heavy weight
champion both told us so Sunday
night. II New Orleans does not
want them there are other places
tina do. One OF the other localities
will get II, too, if Promoters Tor
torich and Burns insist on running
out OF their agreement 10 stage this
pair of big fellows in a 20-rouno
fight to a decision on March
Jones and Willard got in early in
the day from New York Not until
Jones picked up a morning paper
did he discover that New Orleans
was talking about substituting
Frank Moran for Fulton on the
Mardi Gras heavy weight bill. This
stirred the wrath of Thomas Ed
ward, who Immediately got in touch
with Mike Collins. Fulton's guiding
hand, and informed him that Will
ard positively would give Fulton the
first whack at the title, no matter
where the contest takes place.
You can put IL down in black
and white that Fulton is the first
man that Willard will fight" de-
clared Jones I'VE have signed arti-
cles with him and posted forfeits
and will keep our word. Collins and
Fulton have gone to a whole lot OF
trouble and are due this much con-
sideration.
IF New Orleans passes up the
match there are other spots that
are laundering for it, so we should
worry about Tortorich and Burns.
Tommy Burns is the party who is
causing ell the trouble He breaks
away from Tortorich and then gets
back in the fold with him so often
that he is keeping their club in hot
water all the time.
you know Milwaukee has offered
$25, 200 for 10 rounds between this
pair. That proposition looks good
to willard and me in case the New
Orleans deal falls through | know
of two other places that will pay
good money for this fight.
II have wired Tortorich and told
him TO take the match or leave it;
that We are going 10 box Fulton first
and will go elsewhere if necessary.
l am awaiting his reply"

PENCIL SKETCH OF
PROPOSED CITY HALL

Among the planks In the platform
which was adopted by the mass con-
vention that nominated the present
city officials. was one In favor Of
submitting TO the electors of Mont
peIier the question as 10 whether or
not bonds should be issued for the
purpose Of erecting q suitable city
hall, fire station and jail.
While the mayor and council have
not been unmindful Of the fact that
they were pledged to submit this
question to the voters Of this city.
they have not done anything on
this matter yet. for reasons which
they deem good and sufficient. How
ever. It IL likely the question will be
submitted TO the voters early In the
new year, SO that II the bond propo-
sition receives the required majority,
the contract for the erection Of the
building can be let In time for con-
struction to begin o. soon - the
weather will permit In the spring.
With this In view Mayor Sneddon re-
Gently requested Boyer a. Rogers.
architects Of Pocatello. to draw .
pencil sketch Of a building which
would answer the purpose Of a city
hall, Jail, fire station and such other
uses as are generally required Of city
buildings. The Pocatello firm com
piled with the request and there il
now on exhibition at the present 80.
called city hall a rough draft Of
building.
This draft calls for a two-storl
building 70x9O feet. and TO cost ap
proximateIy $4,000. When n
mayor and council take this matte
J up for consideration. they may deter
; mine that . building, such as tn
! pencil sketch calls for, would he %
elaborate for the present day need
E of the city.
Right here we will state that
: frequently happens that those VII
!. have to do with erection Of publ
buildings make the mistake Of builc
ing only for the immediate needs {
a city, county. state. Or even @ Co
Il poration. We have several sue

WOOL GROWERS
GATHER AT COKEVILLE

The annual convention Of the Linz
coin County. Wyoming, Wool Grow
ers association, which was held at
Cokeville on Monday and Tuesday of
this week, was largely attended by
the fockmasters of that county.
There was also quite a sprinkling of
Bear Lake county sheep men present.
Since the organization Of the associa-
ton in 1908 the annual meetings
have alternated between Cokeville
and Kemmerer, and both towns have
always entertained the members and
invited friends in royal style. How
ever, we believe that this year the

all their former efforts in the way.
Of entertainment, and set a mark
that 1t will be hard for Kemmerer
to beat next year.
The big event on Monday night
was the barn dance" in the wool
warehouse. Preceding the dance q
ten-round boxing match was pulled
off between Eddie Black Of this city
: and Pete Hansen of Salt Lake. and
it was without doubt the liveliest
J ten-round bout ever seen in this neck
o. the woods. Before the first round
ended it was evident to everybody
: that h e two men were evenly
} matched, and they didn't lay-of |
0 second during any one Of the rounds
!. While the contest was declared |

e best of it SO far as points were con
