MAY SEE BOUT
Wizards Manager Satisfied
with Prospects to Fight
in Monumental City.

Baltimore. March 27.r-Jess Willard,
heavyweight title holder who is here
for the purpose Of dIsposing of horses
from his circus, went into conference
with the police board, Police Marshal
Carter and the deputy marshal today
and for half an hour talked over the
possibilities of holding the fight with
Fred Fulton In a local arena on July 4.
At the conclusion OF the conference
Col. Miller. Willard's manager. de-
clared that he was perfectly satisfied
with the prospects for the bout in this
city, and that If proper accommoda-
tions and inducements were offered
local fans could have the pleasure of
seeing the battle for the worlds SUI
premacy.
1--WE are satisfied and will welcome
an opportunity of staging the encoun-
ter before a Baltimore audience IL the
patrons Of the city show a disposition
to countenance it."
Col. Miller said after the conference:
willard was enthusiastic about the
prospects. 1 am as satisfied here as
at any place that l have visited yet.
The city Is located ideally, and from
what l have learned the required ac-
commodations can be arranged"
Gen. Lawrason Riggs. OF the police
board, made the following statement:
While have no personal feelings in
the matter. think that public opinion
would NOT stand for the bout. Mr..
Willard and Col. Miller came to ac-
quaint themselves with the local laws
regarding prize fights, and told
them two permits were required. one
from the mayor and one from the
police board.
IF either refuses TO countenance
the contest that would be the end of
1t. I was frank TO tell both of the
gentlemen that l did not think that
the public would want to have them
stage the Willard-Fulton fight in this
city. There's a decided difference be-
tween the short bouts staged under
the direction of the police depart
ment and a SO-round bout between
heavy-weights."
Gen. Riggs said that he would de-
fer making a decision in the ma alter
until formal application had been
made for a permit.

WIN BALLGAME
Catholic University Goes
Into Extra Innings with
Ganaudet.

Catholic University and Gallaudet
battled for twelve innings yesterday
on Brookland field for supremacy in
the ball game which was won in the
last half OF the inning by to 8
count.
Togo, who did the hurting for the
Brooklanders. was SO stingy with his
hits that the Kendall Greeners did
not reach first base until the fifth
inning, when Hartin opened the ses-
sion with a clean single. Bouchard
sacrificed him to second and he scored
on Ferguson's long single to center
field. Gallaudet was blanked from
the fifth to the ninth. but in this m
ming. without hit but costly error
together with a fielders' choice and
the squeeze play, two runs were over
the plate, which tied up the count at
three all.
The Brooklanders were the first to
score when in the second inning
Rooney was issued free transportation
to first. Swartz sacrificed him to sec
ond and he came all the way home
on Longs hit. Swartz hit a single in
the fourth, but was left as two were
down. and Glascott was forced at
second on Longs easy roller to short,
Heupel, who hit for Rubal in th&
twelfth, singled and stole second but
was left as his mates were easy outs.
In their half of the twelfth Catholic
University punched two hits together
with a costly error which allowed the
winning run to get to the initial bag.
Griffith was substituted to run for
Swartz. eastman singled Griffin to
second and he scored on Pat Rooneys 8
hit over second base, which was too
slow for the flelders to handle and
make play at the plate.
Ferguson, who was selected to do
the hurting for Gallaudet, did a good
piece Of pitching. as he kept his hits
well scattered and was steady
throughout the game. He issued but
two free passes and only one resulted
in a score. He retired five men by the
strikeout route. Hartin, in right
field for Gallaudet, was the most con-
sistent sticker for his team. as he got
two hits out of five trips to the plate
and made the fielding catch of the
game when he speared Rooney's
drive in the fourth.
Togo did not seem to have very
much on the ball but he held the
Gallaudet batsmen in the palm of his
hand as in only the sixth were they
able to bunch hits on him. He re-
tired thirteen men by tanning the air
and issued one free pass. Rooney
swartz and Galscott got three hits
eacn during the game. The score:

Lynch Follows johnson.
Adrian Lynch followed the Kansas
cyclone on the hill. The new shine
balF' foater which Griff has his
pitcher using proved a real puzzle
to the 10th, as the Iowa String
Bean did not allow a hit in four
innings and set the soldiers down
in one, two. three order, excepting
the fifth, when Layan booted Web
er's easy grOunder. Earl Yingling
took up the dutses in the sixth. and
although he was hit for five bingles
he would not have been scored upon
with alright support.
Lefty Schofield, formerly Of the
Woodlawn team fOf the Belmont
League. of the Quaker City. started
the hOnOTs for the 'Sammies'' and

KID WOLFE GIVEN THE
DECISION OVER FRUSH

Baltimore, Md, March 27.-In one OF
the most uninteresting bouts ever
staged in this city Kid Wolfe, of
Cleveland. was given the decision to-
night over Danny Frush, local battler,
at the end OF a setto of fifteen rounds.
Frush. persistently refused TO stand
and fight and occasioned many boots
and catcalls from the throng that
packed the hall by his tactics. Wolfe
repeatedly would make overtures to
warn him to encourage a mixup. but
Frush refused the issue and contented
himself with pure defensive tactics
and running. Wolfe showed rather a
clever exhibition, but his efforts were
dimmed by the refusal of his op-
ponent to exchange blows. Frush had
been touted as championship material
out his performance tonight did not
show it.
