ATTORNE EYS- -AT-LAW
KELLY ONCE MANAGED FULTON
Baseball Manager Formerly Had
 Charge Of Minnesota Giant.

Mike Kelly, manager of the St. Paul baseball club, who has been in the game ever since he was old enough to play ball. is very much interested in -ho E-at game. It is not generally known, but Mike was mana ger of Fred Fulton tas Minnesota giant, who is matched with Jess Willard for the cOmilg fall. for about erght hours. It all Happened at Minnesota in 1914.
 Frank Force, the sport writer of that city was handling Fulton at that time but nu May -s he Was unable to at tend match that Fred was supposed tn .a-. with Charlie Nelson. a big lw0Eo. ar EuTeoU Wis. Frank called -.-" rr .- phone and asked him if hu Waul 0Eu"-e Fulton for the fight
 -i'L' said Mike, what is there E l and how much money are u-e tu .Ctg"
 Nothing doing in the purse Hne,' remarked Prank, "but I understand $500 on the result"
 Mike placed the money without any bother 'IoaEC it to tue papers for a decision. that suits me" said AEi%e.
 r.e proceeded to get in touch with Fulton immediately, put discovered that Fred did not have enough money fo pay his fare to Hudson. which was 90 miles away, so he gave him a S1O and sent him on ahead.
 Later on in Hudson. Mike discovered that the hackers of Neison were try ing to scare Fulton out of the match, but they did not succeed. The $500 was her g.t ught and Mike put up $ZN- of his own money. the balance being subscribed by some of the fans.
 When they got in the ring that night at Mike Collins arena. the Swede marched around the edges of 'he ring. pulled the ropes and shook the whole structure as if he intended 70 pull it apart He was trying to scare Fulton and it seemed for a time that he succeeded.
 However when they put up their hands. Fulton let go a left jab that caught tho Swede full on the nose and Inc went down. There were a few more exchanges and Q right hand waIIop t0 the body and 1t was all over
 Mike won his money all right. but he said afterwards that when he saw the big Swede enter the ring he would not have given a S10 note for his bet Now he is one of the biggest boosters that Fulton has and he really thinks that the Minnesota boy has a good chance to beat Willard for the heavy weight title.
 Give Fulton another six months or a year, and he will beat Willard sure in a finish fight" said Mike q un- derstard they are matched for next Labor day and while I am not so con fdent at this time, still I think Fulton will beat Willard.

Iris Speaker refuses to come down from his lofty perch, and is showing the way to the rest or the batters in the American League by fairly safe margin. He is rapping the ball at a .3S7 clip, and is thirty-one points ahead of Ty Cobb, wHo is peeved at his mark of merely .546 Charity of Washington, is second, with a mark of -348, compiled in eighteen games WahoO Sam Crawford is climbing in the averages, and his mark now is .324
 The New York Yankees have shot the chutes to sixth place in the team batting race while the rampant St. Louis Cardinals. owners of the sea- sons record for consecutive victories, are in seventh place.
 Cobb holds his place among the sluggers of the league, while he leads the base stealing brigade, and is third in scoring runs.
 These averages include the men who have played in fifteen games or more +n

 There are few veterans of the old Mackian regime left. Stuffy McInnis still remains as one of the old bull. warks. Ira Thomas and Harry Davis still complete with Connie the old ad- visOry board. The veteran Lajoie transpIanted from Cleveland enjoys a second lease of big league life, while Strunk and Rube Oldring, together with Murphy, are on the Athletic pay roll. Gone are Barry, Baker, Collins Murphy, Lapp, Bender, Coombs and Plank-the men who brought more than one flag home to slowtOwn.
 But Connie has a number of stars in the making. Witt. the Goddard ready. So is Pick, the hard-hitting third saClIer secured last fall from Baltimore. The league has few bet ter pitchers than young Myers who has already made a man of himself. Meyer, a hard-hitting and close back stop from Davenport, Iowa, has sue Ceeded the once popular Schang in Philadelphia's esteem. And Murphy, a catching recruit from Binghamton, N. Y, seems likely to make the back stop department of the Philadelphia club especially formidable.

How to Handle the U-Boat Pirates.

Under the laws of war, Germany may be justified in executing the. cap tain of a British merchant ship who tried to ram a German submarine that signaled him to stop. But what is to be said in excuse of U-Boat com manders who have torpedoed without warning passenger ships? Would 1t be lawful to shoot the commanders of the submarines that attacked the Lus- itania, the Arabic and the Sussex? Or would they be entitled to all the con- sideration which in normal circum- stances naval officers would expect in case of capture New York World.
