all. They forged to the front after this
tie, regt9tering three baskets and as
many free tosses. Temple was not to
be denied and tied up the score again.
In the last minute of play Miss Baker
Gagged her free toss after two attempts
at the basket, thereby breaking the tie
and winning the game for the visitors.
Some of the best team work and guard
Ing seen here this year was displayed
by the visitors and the home crowd was
not far behind. For the home girls
Misses Simpson. Reh and Siebold play
ed the best game, showing some good
passing. while Miss Seibold was an adept

FULTON HAVE
EDGE OVER WILLARD?

A number Of the fstic critics have be-
littled the claims Of Fred Fulton since
he broke into the spotlight But, al
though the lanky Frederick has never
battered down a real top-notcher, or al
least fighter recognized as a touch
customer he has about as much right
to lay claim to class as Jess Willard.
Before he met Jack johnson and won
the championship at Havana who did
Willard beat that ranked as a first class
ring warrior? II We remember correctly,
the dig cowboys record was anything
but wonderful when he was signed to
battle johnson. and since he won the
title he has fought and won q no-deci-
ion ten-nound bout against Frank Moran.
Figuring that Jack johnson was
through" when Willard met him, we
can see no reason for placing big Jess on
such an altitudinous plane in comparison
to Fulton. It's only fair to give the devil
his due, and Fulton has demonstrated
at least, that he can hit and knows how
to handle himself in a sixteen-foot ring.
II Fulton Is a mythical hero, Jess~wiI-
lard Is in a class closely related to him.

Ever hear OF pitcher who struck out

hit. issue a pass or hit a batsman, and
yet saw four runners score7
Well, listen to the story of Clint Rogxa,
American Association pitcher.
Back In Rogge's college days he had
a catcher who was too light to hold him
up, and one day this baclxstopper dropped
a third strike on three straight batters,
filling the sacks. The next man also
tanned, but once again the third strike
got away. and q run sifted over the plat
ter. Trying to square himself for such
loose catching. the backstop decided he
would nick the runner on first base, and
he made q hasty peg which went wild
Before the ball was recovered three run
ners came galloping across the pan.
You can't beat this for a pitchers hard
luck tale. but Rogge says It is true. and
stranger things have happened in base

OUR FATHERS FELL
FOR THIS YEARS AGO

In these days of militarism. higher
education and open plumbing. 1t would
seem that the old-timers had some queer
notions Of sport.
For instance, at Shenandoah, Pa, thir-
ty years ago. there was a contest in
which Peter Haley won the horseshoe IT,
tie by turning out 10 horseshoes in !
hour 81 minutes Il 1-2 seconds
At Ottawa. Ontario. a quarter of a CEN
tury ago there was a tug-of-war for the
worlds professional championship. which
was won by the Enslish-Canadian team.

day walking matches. and such star Pc
