EYES ON DENvER|HE'S A PLUCCER
Miller Probably Will Give Mile
High City Big Bout.
He Thinks Baseball Park Will
Be Suitable Arena.

New York, April 2.-The worlds
championship heavyweight scrap be-
tween Jess Willard and Fred Fulton
will, according to present indications,
New Haven, Conn, with the balance
considerably in favor of the western
city.
Colonel Joseph C. Miller, who
matched the ponderouS mitt-wielderS,
as a matter of fact, is seriously con-
sidering becoming the one and only
commander-in-ch of the forces who
will stage the bout, inclining to Den
yer because he believes he can get
sufficient local backing to make the
affair success.
Use Baseball Park.
Denver possesses two suitable places
for the bout-one indoor stadium and
a huge outdoor enclosure. The in
door spot has practically been passed
up, so, if the bout goes to the mile
high city it undoubtedly will be in
the Denver baseball park.
This park is of major league pro-
portions. 1t has a grandstand that
can comfortably seat 10000 persons,
with small sized bleachers off to one
side. Around this could be erected
temporary seats to accommodate 49,
600 or 20, 900 more persons.
Colonel Miller is confident the at
tendance at the fight will amount to
just as many seats as he is able to
group around the ring. Prices may
have to be run up, he declared, to
hold the attendance down to the ca
pacity of the arena.
Il haven't talked a lot about Of
fers," Colonel Miller said, because a
lot of small town offers have been
made simply to get advertising. This
bout is not being auctioned off, at
all. In fact, I rather believe 1 want
to do the whole thing myself with

That Is One of John McGraW'S
Greatest Assets.
Started at 5 a Month, Now
Makes $4,000 a Year.
BY JACK VEIOCK

New York, April 2.-They call him
the Little Napoleon of Baseball. He
is all of that.
Rather short and stocky, inclined to
be portly, and carrying generous
Sprinkling of silver in his hair, John
J. McGraw is perhaps the most inter-
esting figure in the National game.
Ever since he discarded knicker-
bockers for his first pair of ''longies"
McGraw has been part of baseball.
He started playing professionally
with clean in the New York State
League back in 1890. He was a strip
ling then, but the same dominant
spirit that has won for him the most
enviable managerial berth in the
major leagues was uppermost.
Makes $4,000 a Year.
McGraw's history as a player is
to stardom, his high rank among the
fielders and hitters of his day and his
connection with the great old Balti-
more Orioles needs no recounting
here. Suffice it to say that from a
$50 per month job in the bushes he
has played and fought his way to a
position which brings him close to
$4,000 a year.
As manager of the Giants he has
won five pennants and one world S
National League champions OF 1917
lost the worlds championship to the
White Sox, and the result was hard
blow to McGraw. But he has come
back fighting again this year despite
criticism from some quarters for the
way he handled his club.
A Plugger by Nature.
McGraw is a plugger by nature. His
square jaw and steely blue eyes leave
no doubt of that. Naturally of a fiery
nature ne has often taken the often
sive at the drop of the hat. His
trouble with Umpire Byron last year
was an example.
On the field he never quits fighting
to win. He is inclined to drive his
players, but he has a way of doing 1t
that seldom causes trouble. AS a
judge of players McGraw ranks with
the best, tho he has never de-
veloped a great number of stars.
Off the field Mack is quiet, con-
genial and rather retiring fellow to
meet He is generous, a point-blank
conversationalist with few comments
to make. He impresses those who
meet him as a mild-mannered man of
power-but that is off the playing
field.
McGraw's aggressiveness has shown
itself in the hit-and-run style of base
ball. After forty-five years he is still
the kind of fellow who wants to
bust that ball.

FIGHT AT FUNSTON
Army Champion Will Meet Kansas
City Welterweight Tonight

Manhattan, Kan, April 2.-What is
expected to be one of the niftiest
fights ever staged at the post. is the
ten-round bout tonight between Navy
Rostan, champion welterweight of the
army, and Paul Roman. Kansas City
welterweight- The boys in khaki are
placing their coin on Rostan. whom
they know, regardless of what Roman
might be. The soldiers believe in the
Illinois lad and are willing. to stake
their last dollar on him.
Rostan has had fourteen battles on
the reservation and has never been
knocked off of his feet. He was vic
torious in all of these bouts, and adj
ministered a sleeping potion to twelve
of his opponents. He has punch like
the kick of a Missouri mule, and feels
confident of winning tonight's battle.
If he succeeds in getting the decision
over Roman, Rostan will have a
! chance at Kid Ted Lewis, former title
holder.
Some good preliminaries will COM
