their matchmaker, Billy Hoke, &C
companied by Nate Lewis, manager of
Charley White, will leave today for

championship bouts.
The Minnesota promoters passed
yesterday in Chicago, and it is their
plan TO go direct to New York, unless
they get some word from Tom Jones,
manager of Jess Willard, who is now
in Ohio with the Sells-Floto circus. 4
little more than a week ago they Offer
ed Willard a guarantee of $4,000 to
fight Fred Fulton at the Twin-Cities
motordrome. Jones asked for a week
to consider the offer. The time is
more than up and no word has been
received from Silent Tom" The pro
motors wired Jones at Marietta, Ohio,
that they would give him until 10
o'clock this morning to accept or de-
cline the bid.
Bill Shanks, the big Chicago heavy
weight who stirred up things bit in
the boxing game in the east by show
ing knockout wallop, is taking a va
cation in the Catskills, according to
letter received from Bill by a local
| friend yesterday.
The first of the local pugilistic brig
ade to answer the call to arms and 20
to the Mexican border for duty is
Danny Goodman, the lightweight.
Goodman was all dolled up his khaki
yesterday, plenty of chest expansion
being evident. Today he departs for
camp at Springfield as member of
the First infantry gattling battalion.
Word is received from Australia that
Les Darcy scored a knockout in the
fourth round on Alex Costic, the Ru-
manian heavyweight, in his last bat
tie. 1t also was intimated that Darcy
may be able to make trip to Amer
| lea in a couple of months, in which
case Mike Gibbons will have a lob on
| his hands.

WESTERN TEAMS
MAKE 1917 PLANS
Pacific Coast Athletes to Hold Invasion
of East on Even Broader Scale
Next Season.

New York, June 21.-The invasion
fields by Pacific coast collegiate teams
as eXemplifed by the California and
Stanford track athletics this season
will be conducted upon broader scale
next spring. Representatives of the
far coast universities now in the east
are planning for a series of competi-
tions in various lines of sport which
will surpass anything attempted in
this direction in past years.
Graduate Manager E. C. Behrens is
authority for the statement that the
Stanford university baseball team will
play a number of games in the east
and west during d tour to be made in
May and June. The Stanford squad,
consisting of about fifteen men, will
leave May 10 and play games with all
the leading college and university
mines, during its tour to the Atlantic
coast, including Michigan, Chicago
Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Har-
ward, Yale, Princeton, Cornell Penn
sylvania, Columbia and other institu-
lions. The itinerary of the team
which is now being arranged by Nat
Strong of this city, will include num-
Der of commencement day games in
| the east.
Coach Hiram Conibear of the Uni
versity of Washington crews, who has
arrived here for the intercollegiate and
Harvard-Yale regattas is planning tC
invade Poughkeepsie next June with
an eight-oared varsity crew which is
said to be the fastest ever developed
at Washington, so far as can be judg,
ed from the material and perform

son again in 1917 and it may be that
both crews will take part in the re-
gatta of next year, unless it should be
shown that one is considerably super
ior to the other.
The intercollegiate and Conference
Athletic association officials have been
given to understand that Stanford
California and possibly third Pa
cific coast university track team will
try for eastern honors in 1917 provid-
ed the athletic material in sight per-
forms up to the marks expected by the
coaches. A football game or games
between one or more of the leading
eastern elevens and a university team
from California or the northwest is
also among the possibilities Cores
pondence looking toward such a con-
test is under way and the indications
are favorable at this time

ILLINOIS STAR TO
GO TO THE BORDER

Urbana, ILL.,, June 21.-Bob Zuppke,
Illinois football coach, viewed the
prospective departure of the Univer-
sity of Illinois battery for the front
with much uneasiness. One of the ar
tillerymen is no less a person than
Bernard c. Halstrom of Chicago. Hal
strom was the star fullback on the
Illini eleven last fall and was expected
to be the successor to Clark and
Pogue as a ground gamer next fall.
Halstrom enlisted in the battery
when it was formed last year. Now he
may be fighting Mexicans instead OF
scoring touchdowns on Chicago and
Minnesota.
