FULTON IN AGAIN
He Sees Another Chance to Get
a Crack at Willard.
Will Push Claim if He Wins
From Dan Flynn.

New York. Jan. est would not
do to allow one day to fit by without
somebody doing something to furnish
one more twist to the willard Moran
imbroglio.
The gentleman to step into the
breach this time is Michael Collins.
who halls from Montana. Michael has
wired from New Orleans:
"WilI arrive in New York shortly.
Intend to challenge Moran on behalf
of Fred Fulton, the winner to get first
chance at Willard. Bout will naturally
match with Dan Flynn in this city
Thursday
The outcome of his twenty round
battle means a lot to Frederick Full
ton. If Fred leaves the ring with fly
ing coIors lowered it means that Isaac
Dergan can boost his demand for
Moran to fight the champion.
Regarding the next move on the
chess board we have the word of Jack
Curley that the situation has now
reached the stage where Frank Moran
will have to do some figuring There
is not the slightest doubt that Willard
is the magnet that will draw the mon
ster gate. 1t takes two men to make
a fight but to get the crowd to sepa-
rate itself from the long green there
has to be a headliner and Jess Willard
Is that bird. Therefore, if Moran
holds out and makes too exorbitant
demands. it won't be surprising if he
is cast aside and another opponent
sought.
If Fred Fulton happens to slam a
haymaker over on Dan Flynn or even
if he manages to win a decisive vic
tory he will become very prominent in
the figuring. He can come here and
demand that Willard go through with
his contract of a few weeks ago or he
can insist that Moran fight him for
the privilege of meeting the cham
pion.
So you can see that until the Fulton
Flynn battle is over there will be no
final action taken on the contemplated
tango between the two heavies. The
whole wrangle has now reached the
stage that the more notoriety it at
tracts the more it will affect the draw
ing power.

FRESHMEN WILL FIGHT
Washburn Yearlings Refuse to Give
Up Their ''W'' Sweaters.

War between the members of the
freshman football team at Washburn
college and the College Athletic as
ISOLATION has been declared. And the
freshies are prepared to put up a bit
ter fight, they say.
The trouble arose over the size of
the VS. on the sweaters that were
awarded the members of the yearling
team. These ''W's" by some mistake
were ordered as large as the official
varsity W. and with the 49, num-
erals above them made very classy
looking garments.
After the sweaters were given out
in chapel members of the varsity team
set up a holler and the matter was
brought before the athletic board. At
a meeting Monday afternoon the
board ordered that the freshmen must
take off the big VS.
However, the freshmen declare the
sweaters are now their personal prop
erty, that they were ordered by the
coach and presented to them in a reg
ular way, and that they will see the
color of the upper classmen's eyes be-
fore they give them up. Some have
announced that they will send their
sweaters home for safe keeping if an
effort is made to take them away by
force.
The freshmen also claim that they
voted for ''W's'' that would have come
within the regulations, and that they
are in no manner responsible for the
blunder. Therefore they should worry.

Savage Picked Him as the Best
Man for the Job.
He Did Much of the Managing
Under Jimmy Jackson.

r. J. baltimore. for the past two
seasons captain and second baseman

to fill the vacancy caused by the
jumping of Jimmy jackson to the
Wichita club.
baltimore was chosen by John Saw

ago after scores of applications had

sideration. However. his acceptance

records show that he was brought
here by Dale Gear on June 5, 1914.

been one of the best players on the
club. and last season he was conceded
to be the steadiest and most consist
ent second sacker in the league.

The 1914 records show that during
the season he batted 2S9 and fielded
for a percentage of .963. Last season
he was one of the four Savage players
who batted 800. and his reliable field
ing won him more admirers than his
batting. Also, during the whole of
last season he acted as field captain.

fans that Jimmy jackson never made
a change of players during game

However. many of the fans are not
aware of the fact that baltimore did

Jackson received really belonged to
him.
This. along with his intimate knowl-
edge of the league and his sterling
qualities as a player were the princi-

the coveted honor over applicants
from the big leagues, ex-Federal

Manager baltimore will probably
come to Topeka a week or two in ad-

in outlining the policies the club will
