ring down the curtain on boxing in
Baltimore for the duration of the

put a ban on the game. When the
announcement came that the New
Yorker. who had been in Baltimore
in the afternoon. had flown. the

COMISKEY OPPOSED

The Braves experiment with
twilight baseball, which is to be
tried III Boston today, accord
ing to dispatches from the east
does not interest the White SoX in
the least. President Comiskey last
night declared himself opposed TO
the idea OF setting back the start
ing time three hours or so and add
ed that he believed other American
leaguers shared his opinion.
Twilight ball was tried by the
American association this season
and was not a success" Commy
continued. 1T has failed before
too. One great objection Is its IN
certainty. In nearly every instance
where twilight ball has been tried
iunumerable postponements have
been rendered necessary by lack Of
sufficient light. I think the custom
airy starting time is the only logi-
cal hour to begin baseball games

JACK and FRED
GOING TO FIGHT
Match Probably viii Re Staged at
Minneapolis May
Promote Battle.

Chicago, July Fired Fulton
and Jack Dempsey are going to
scrap it out in spite of the opposl-
ton that developed at Baltimore,
where the police commissioners re-
fused to grant a permit. This was
made evident last night when the
writer received word from Mike
Collins, manager of Fulton.
Collins wired from Albany, \. Y,
that he would be in Chicago yeSter-
day. The object of his visit is to
get in touch with Dempsey and
Jack Kearns, the Submarine De-
stroyer's" manager. Collins will
run into disappointment on his ar
rival for apparently he does not
know that Dempsey and his man
ager are now in Tulsa, Okla, where
on July l Dempsey hooks up in a
battle with Jack Mccarthy.
Fulton's manager hints he is go
ing to stage the bout between his
man and Dempsey at Minneapolis,
and it looks as if Collins is plan
ming to act as the promoter of the
contest as well as manager of one
Of the fighters. He says he will be
here at 10 o'clock this morning, pre-
pared to make Dempsey a good
guarantee for a fight in the Gopher
City.
Collins does not state when he
can stage the bout. but it is the
general belief that if the contest is
held it will take place within the
next month.
If Spike Kelly gets away" with
Soldier Rostran at Fort Riley on
July 4 he will be matched for a
Labor day bout there. with either

gram informed Kelly's manager
