Rochester giant. Instead, Manager
Jones notified the Milwaukee pro-
moters that such a bout was out of
the question at this time. Wizards
contract with circus begins on April
20. and Jones will not take on any
engagements which might jeopardize
the $150,0OO contract with the tent
show. So Jones wired Tom Andrews
that the bout with Fulton was off.
Jones was to have gone back to
Chicago yesterday, but stayed over to
fix up the final details of the pictures
Of the Willard Moran bout. He left
for Chicago today.
Fulton may be seen In a New York

decided upon, there is talk that the
Pittsburgher may be matched with
Jack Dillon before local club after

the Hannibal boosters have asked that
body to meet with them tomorrow at
Hannibal.

matter Of deciding the eighth club for
the Three-Eye league will be held up
another day. If Galesburg and Mon
mouth cannot get together to accept

Unused over the possibility of class
B ball, and the boosters there have
raised nearly $4,000 to assume their
end Of the responsibilities.

Island Southern will be expected to do
its part in financing the Galesburg
Monmouth team proposition. In Mon
mouth strong committee of repre-
sentative business men has been
