All Matters Settled for
 Fu|tOn-DeInpsey Bout
Former Squares Accounts With Draft Board, and Boxing Commission Puts Final O. K. on the Con- test.

New York, July 25-With the New Jersey State Boxing Commission sanctioning the condition of Jack Dempsey and Fred Fulton for their bout at Harrison tomorrow afternoon, and the local draft board No. 125 resembling the order to the Harrison board to apprehend Fulton because of his satisfactory explanation yesterday morning, everything is set for the bout to be staged as scheduled.
 Boxing Commissioners Smith and Grain journeyed to Long Branch yes terday to put the stamp of approval on Dempsey'S condition, and were highly eIated over the Westerner's work in boxing four rounds with Bat ting Jim Johnson and Clay Turner. It was the final workout with the gloves for Dempsey. He is now down to 191 pounds, and will rest until Sat urday afternoon, outside of a short jaunt on the road in the morning.
 Fulton appeared before the local Draft Board yesterday morning, and after giving a satisfactory reason for his not appearing when notified went back to Rye Beach to finish up his work. He boxed eight rounds with the Jamaica Kid and Jack Espen, tip ping the scales at 205. Fulton will return to New York Saturday morn ing, resting at the Hotel Endicott un- til early in the afternoon, when he will visit the ball park to try the ring out.
 There was rush for seats yester- day afternoon at Madison Square Garden, when 1t was announced that the local draft board had strengthened out Fulton's case, the lobby of the famous structure being swamped with fans eager to get choice reservations. There has been much speculation as to the outcome of the match; Fulton ruling 8, slight favorite, but it is ex- pected when the Chicago contingent arrives the favoritism will switch to Dempsey.
 Johnny Eckhart has been selected to action the capacity of referee of the big bout. Eckhart knows his business, having been a boxer himself, and he was agreed upon by both Dempsey and Fulton.

Johnny Evers Wants
 To Play With Giants

Don't be surprised to see Johnny Evers playing second base for the Giants tomorrow. The famous Cub player and, now Knights of Columbus secretary, whose craftiness in a game at the Polo Grounds in 1908 caused the Giants to lose the National league pennant. has suggested to Manager McGraw that he ask the permission of the Red Sox to allow him to play this game, which might be his last appearance on this side of the Allan tic.
 Johnny says his friends up in Troy have always wanted him to play for New York, and inasmuch as he al- ways has had the greatest admiration for McGraw and a fondness for the New York baseball public, he would like to appear in just this one game | in the Giants uniform.

SAYS CRUISER WAS HIT
Captain Declares San Diego Tor
pedoed by Submarine.
Navy Department officials Believe Ship
Hit Floating Mine-All of
Crew Saved.

Washington, July 22-The captain
Of the United States armored cruiser
San Diego believes that his vessel was
torpedoed by q German submarine
when it was sunk south Of Fire island
near New York. He has SO Off
cially reported to the naval authori-
ties.
However, the navy department off,
Gals here are inclined to believe that
floating mine, either one Of the har-
Dor defense scheme which broke away
from its anchorage or one of those
known to have been strewn along the
coast by the German submarines who
were here six weeks ago were respon-
sible. They base this belief on the
following conclusions:
"No torpedo wake was seen.
There is no conclusive evidence
that periscope was seen.
mo submarine appeared on the sur
face despite the fact that there were
three unarmed rescue ships on watch
in the vicinity for more than two
hours after the San Diego explosion
took place.
"The vessel was struck on the port
side, abaft the boom. This, however,
discourages somewhat the theory she
was struck by mine.

was smooth sea-"
New York, July 22.-All of the mem

Diego, sunk off Fire island, are report
