ALBRIGHT In SHAPE
FOR TURNER MATCH

Manager McGeorge. of the Lyceum
Theater, received word from Con Al
bright, the Rochester wrestler yes
terday, that he could be assured that
he would be in the best of shape for
the bout on Thursday night with
Joe Turner for the middleweight
championship. Albright claims that
on his last appearance here, he had a
bad attack Of boils which hindered
him 10 a great extent but that he be-
lieved that he is in better shape at
present than at any other time dur
ing his career and if beaten. will have
no alibies to offer.
Turner is working hard to get Into
the pink" as he realizes Albright is
one Of the toughest grapplers in the
game today. Turner is not afraid Of
making the weight limit Of l5S at ring
side. as he has on a number Of oc-
casion made this poundage and at
present is but a few pounds over the
mark. Fans who doubt Turner'S
weight will be given opportunity
Thursday night to see for themselves
as grapplers will weight in in full
view OF the audience just before the
match starts.

OF what was to have been q %
round fight here tonight. Fred Full
ton earned a clear title to a match
with Jess Willard.
Fulton exhibited speed. cleverness.
punching power and stamina that
few followers Of pugilism have given
him credit for. He took all that
Moran could send. apparently inten-
tionaIly. and then calmly and cleanly
knocked him out. The bout drew
$1,000; Fulton received 80 per cent,
Moran 30 per cent.
Moran and his manager. Ike Dor
gan, after the fight, came out
squarely in recognition of Fulton's
prowess," all that stands between
Fulton and the championship is a
match with willard" Dorgan said
with Moran's approval.
Fulton is a better man than
willard" Moran added.
Prevailing expert opinion locally.
however, is that Moran went into
the ring fat and far from the boxer
who met willard and Johnson.
Moran himself admits that he has
gone back or as he says, I'm get
ting old"
The first round was even. Moran's
aggressiysness earning him an
even break. Crowding the Min
nesotan closely. Moran was able to
score repeatedly to jaw and body,
but toward the middle OF the round
FuIton's left jabs opened up a big
cut over MOran's right eye.
Moran came up for the second
strong and rushing like a bull. but
left hooks closed the right eye in
thirty seconds, and after that Mo-
ran was at the mercy OF the plas-
terer. Holding Moran's left elbow
and turning his opponent partially
Fulton was able to sink a success
ney. The round was fearfully
bloody. and Moran went to his cor
ner a beaten man.
Mayor Behrman. of New Orleans,
called Referee Sammy Goldman to
the ringside and warned him
sGainst letting the fight go too far.
Moran jumped from his corner
when the gong rang for the third
round, but was soon blinded with
blood when Fulton opened up his
cut again and was tottering about
the ring. Fulton stepped back to
permit his opponent to clear his
eyes and when Moran came on again
Fulton dropped him with a right
uppercut. The sponge came flying
in. as Moran was obviously done for.
First round-They mixed in the be-
ginning. Moran sending left to jaw
and right to face. Moran landed an
other left punch to the jaw following

New York. Feb. e5.-There is a feel
ing among some OF the major league
baseball club owners that the PLAYER.
of the various clubs who refuse 10
sign at the figures submitted are as
soclated In an organized hold-out.
They also believe that the Play-

the fraternity has nothing whateyer

among the men on individual clubs
We do not doubt that various veterans

attempt to coerce through signatoty

terms.
Certainly in many cases there is
considerable justification for holding
out Some owners are making war
Tune conditions an excuse for tighten
ing the financial screws beyond en-
durance. The cost OF living goes up
steadily, but baseball salaries are be-
greatly concerned. II is argued that
the players can have no complaint
since the Federal League war Jackcd
salaries up beyond sense Of endurance.
How many men now in the majors got
appreciable or lasting benefits out OF
the organization OF the Federal
League?
Furthermore, when an American
League owner set q salary limit at
1900 there IS further ground Cor PLAY
ers to act in concert to protect their

be remembered that the major League

DABILITY.
TO TRAIN SELF.
Bryon Downey Works Near
Top of Welter List Be-
fore Learning.

1t is not often that a boxer works
three years and rises to a position
very near the top of his class with
out learning how to train. Yet that
is exacIIy what happened to Bryan
Downey. the robust young welter-
weight that Tom Jones hopes to
pilot to a worlds championship.
At the beginning of Downey's pu-
gilistic career some misguided per-
son told him that he should not. eat
heartily IL he expected to be a
champion. One meal a day. with not
too much OF that and only the light
est OF repasts on other occasions
was enough. this adviser said, for
any scrapper.
Downey swallowed the advice and
followed IL for three years. While
he was under the management of
Emil Thirty he lived where Thirty
could not see him eat, and hence
did not know the course his bat
tier was pursuing.
Then Tom Jones got hold Of
Downey. and about the first time
out he lost a scrap to Joe Eagen.
the rugged Boston mixer. Tom
thought Downey good enough to
beat Eagen any time, and said so.
What is the matter with you?''
Jones asked after the Eagen bout
q don't think 1 eat enough" was
Bryan's reply. and the whole story.
Of his three years Of abstemiousness
came out.
The first thing Jones did was TO
send for a beefsteak, He sat back
and watched Downey eat. Then he
sent for another beefsteak and
watched that disappear.
That ought to give you a pretty
good start" Jones declared, but
hereafter you come to see me when
it's feeding time. I'm going to give
you some eats that will make a real
fighter out Of you. How in the
world you ever got to be as good
as you are on that kind OF eating
will always be a wonder to me-"

Winner Of Wrestling
Bout to Meet Caddock

New York. Feb. 25.-EarI Cad
dock, the Western wrestler, who
won the championship from
Wladek Zbyszko, a few weeks ago.
Is willing to risk his title. The
soldier boy was offered a substan-
tfal sum to come to this city and
meet the winner of the match be-
tween Joe Stecher and wladek
Zbyszko, which takes place Friday
at Madison Square Garden. The
management made him a liberal
offer, which he accepted, but wires
he is afraid he will not be able to
obtain a furlough long enough to
let him make the trip from Camp
Dodge, Ia.
Under these circumstance It will
compel either Stecher or Zbyszko
to make the trip West to clinch a
match with Caddock. Rather than
forego the chance, the winner of
Friday nights battle will abide by
clash. The fact that Stecher and
Zbyszko never met on the mat adds
to the interest of the match. Both
adopt widely different methods in
action, and this meeting will give
each others system a thorough
trial.

JESS CAN GET
In CONDITION
Willard CamouRaging on
Being Out Of Shape and
Way Overweight.

Chicago. Feb. SIS Jess Willard
seriously preparing for a long title
fight this summer?
This is not a joke. 1t may sound
like one, when Wizards activities
for the last year or more are con-
sidered-
BUT!
Jess Willard right now doesn't
weigh over go pounds. within ten
pounds of his best fighting weight.
He has no paunch. He Is In prime
condition.
There have been dispatches from
here and there to the effect that
Willard weighs about 800 pounds; that
it would take him six months to
get in shape to stay twenty rounds
in the ring.
This may be camoufage on Will
lard's part. while he is playing hide
and seek with promoters angling for
the best possible offer. Whether 1t is
or not is not essential.
The fact remains that Willard does
not weigh 800 pounds. 1t would not
take him six months to get in shape.
With light training from now on
Willard would be ''in the pink" with
thirty days of fairly strenuous work.
That being the case it is fair to
assume that Willard is seriously con-
sidering a match with some title
contender.
Fred Fulton and Jack Dempsey are
the chief aspirants. Jess probably
feels that he has not much to fear
from either Of them. Dempsey, he
knows, lacks experience. Fulton
lacks a great many things. Jess has
not lost his fondness for the coin
of the realm and the colossal purse
that will be offered for a title bout
is bound to be tempting to him.
Willard was fat a year ago. He's
in shape now.
