NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Unless Jess
Willard consents soon to meet Fred
Fulton in a bout for the worlds
heavyw eight title, Fulton will have
to follow Wizards example and be-
come a pacifist fist wielder.
Fulton today holds an unQuestion-
ed victory over Gunboat Smith, al
ways considered among the most
dangerous heavies. He has beaten
the heavies all down the line includ-
ing Carl Morris. There isn't good
big man in his way now for chance
at the title. He has been willing to
slug his way to prominence.
Willard has stated there is no
public demand for his appearance
He has asserted Georges Carpenter
is the logical man for him to meet.
In that Willard appears to be wrong,
for Fulton seems to be the logical
man, and the public seems ready for
the bout.

WILL LAY OUT DIAMOND
Helping Authorities to Get Ready at
Army Camps for National Game
When Spring
Opens.

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 2S.-Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, premier batsman of
the major leagues, was in Washing
ton recently en- route to his home
In Augusta from the Maine woods,
where he put in couple Of weeks
of cunning. Cobb tarried only few
hours, but dropped in on Manager
Griffith for chat, which resulted in
his being commissioned by the local
pilot as lieutenant in the ball and
bat fund army.
At Griffith's request Cobb agreed
to undertake the work of laying out
diamonds for the members Of the
new national army in training at
Camp Hancock, which Is located In
Augusta, and to superintend distribu-
ton of the baseball equipment which
was shipped to the camp In care of
Captain A. B. Churchman. Jr., who is
in charge Of its recreation activities.
nearly three weeks ago. There are
$4,000 men stationed at Camp Han
cock, and to provide them with the
means for playing baseball Grit sent
twenty-eight complete outfits-one
for every 1000 men. .
The authorities in charge of the
camp at Augusta anticipate that the
salubrious climate of Georgia will
permit Of baseball being played prac-
tically all winter long, as in Ala
bama, Texas and the other southern
states in which environments are
located.
At one of the training points in
Texas, Camp Travis. where $4,000
men are quartered, f1fty-one dia-
monds have been or are in process
of being laid out. Equipment for
more than half of the soldiers there
to participate in the game already
has been sent in care of Major Gen
eral H. T. Cullen, and more will 60
forward as soon as it can be pro-
vided.
Much progress has been made by
Manager Griffith and his assistants
in the matter Of providing Uncle
Sans new soldiers with baseball
tools, but great deal more remains
to be done and Griffith faces the
prospect of working at full speed all
through the winter to keep pace
with the task he has tackled

TWO GAMES ON
THANK SEWING
In the East Only the Games in Penn
syIvania are Attracting Any
Considerable Attention
for Tomorrow.


NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-Pennsyl-
vania's two annual football contests
Pennsylvania vs.. Cornell and Pitts
burgh VS.. Penn State-are the only
Thanksgiving day games Of any
great Importance in the east this
year.
Pennsylvania, greatly favored to
win, will take on Cornell at Philadel-
phia. In view of the fact that the
Penn eleven downed Michigan, which
defeated Cornell, the home team has
the favor of critics.
Pittsburgh is expected to have only
passing trouble In disposing of Penn
State, although one of the years best
games is expected to develop in the
meeting.
Washington and Jefferson and
Washington and Lee will swing into
each other in Richmond.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Nov. IS
The heavier weight, longer reach and
greater height of Fred Fulton proved
too strong combination for Gun
boat Smith. In the seventh round of
his ten round battle with Fulton last
night, Smiths manager asked that
the bout be stopped to save the gun
ner from more punishment. Smith
wanted to continue his pathetic effort.

WAR GIVES BIG BOOST
TO GOOD ROADS BUILDING
Country to Profit in Future From
Highways Built for Ma
tiona1 Defense.

1t is the general opinion of motorists
arriving In Washington from all parts
Of the country that the war with Ger
many is acting as sharp prod to speed
up road building.
Whatever the war costs the nation
in dollars and lives. it will result in the
building of thousands of miles of
disable roads in all sections. for these
highways are now rated as one of the
necessities of warfare and defense.
Possibilities of an invasion are re-
mote, but now that it has been decid-
ed to send an expeditionary force
abroad it is certain that other thou
cands will follow hence the mobiliza-
tiuA II troops on the seaboard is some
thing not to be overlooked.
Railroads are up to their ears in
other work and have shown their lack
of equipment to meet ordinary de-
nnands of period of fast growth and
an attendant increase of consumption.
SO other means may have to be relied
upon to hustle the boys in khaki to the
ports. whence they will sail for the
front. For this purpose the motor We
hiclc is ready. and all it needs to add
TO its wonderful record of efficiency in
8 pinch is a system of roads which can
be travelled in safety and at speed dur
ing all seasons.
Here on the east, where the troops
viii be massed before sailing, good
roads are considered as of vital inter
ct to the nation. just as the raising

of vegetables in fields and yards which
heretofore have produced nothing.
Throughout the Atlantic area the
road builders are hard at it, and. in
spite of the urgency of the calls for
men for other purposes, help is being
enlisted in the cause.
An immense. amount Of road building
work Is being done in the south, and
in the central west thousands of miles
of roads are under way. these forming
the connecting link and making pos
sible hurried trips II such are needed.
Experts point out that automobiles can
take an army of 100000 from the mid
die west to New York in less time than
can the railroads. and when the high
ways are improved a great cut will be
made in the running time of the motor
cars.
The west is not overlooking any
thing in the way of road building.
There is not state In which 1T Is not
one of the big movements. even In a
part of the country which is least af-
fected.
What Virginia is doing is being IN
dertaken in greater or less degree by
many eastern states.

According to government experts there
are now in this country 100000 owners
of passenger automobiles that cost at
the time OF original purchase $500 or
less each: 100000 owners who paid be-
tween $500 and $1,000 for their cars:
1919 900 in the $1,000 to $1,000 class. and
23l 900 having cars OF which tho list price
was between 50 900 and $4,000. There are
also in use. OF course. many thousands
of cars that cost originally more than
$4,000. These figures measure the cumu-
