to fit the ham-like fists of Fulton or
Dempsey would weigh mighty close to
eight ounces.
There are any number Of bosKy dells
in Jersey where Fred and Jack could
have their little tete-a-tete. Eight
rounds seems pretty short m which to
obtain a satisfactory ending TO bout
between big men, but both Fulton and
Dempsey have been knockin' 'em dead
in their recent fights in less time than
that, and it might happen again.
1t is a matter Of common report that
several New York promoters are ready
to grab off Dempsey-F Fulton bout and
start the boys fighting at any one of
the places mentioned. but all these
plans, of course. will be knocked
galley-west if Wizards chalIengers de-
eide to go twenty rounds at New

city. But think how the Jacks and the

Boxing News and Notes
FRED HAWTHORNE
BY FRED HAWTHORN

There is going to be lot OF high
and lofty bidding among the various
fight prom oters in The vicinity Of New
York within the next few weeks or we
miss our guess, because there's going
to be something worth bidding for. We
don't have to tell you that we refer to
a bout between "Fierce" Frederick Full
ton and Jack Demon Dempsey? OF
course not. so VIC won't.
There does not seem to be any way
in which Fulton can avoid a meeting
with Dempsey before there is any def
mite talk of either man fighting VIII
lard for the heavyweight title. We do
not know that Fred actually has struck
Jacks name off his telephone list, but
such are the reports. 1t won't do, Fee
rocous, it will not do.
Now that we've waited so long for
anything like an opponent qualified to
give Jess rub for the championship
it would be a pity. having TWO such
men, not to pit them against each
other and then let the survivor of such
a bout try and knock the circus freak
from under his title crown.
Right here is where the bidding
comes into this story. There are
number of towns and cities within e
few hours ride of New York where a
limited round bout between Dempsey
and Fulton could be staged. Baltimore,
for instance, where fifteen round bouts
to decision are held. is not SO mac
cessible that goodly number Of Man
haitian devotees would not make the
pilgri mage.
New Haven must not be left out Of
the reckoning, either. when it comes
to selecting a meeting place where
Fred and Jack can mingle. New Haven
is a live town for the boxing game, and
has the facilities for handling a big
bout. Let's go!
II, as seems probable. Governor Edge
signs the new boxing bill in New Jer-
sey, the home of the malicious mos
quito will be able to stage eight-round
bouts with cight-ounce gloves. The
latter clause should not worry the
boxing bugs any, for any glove built

Plan Advocated by Myrick
Would Give Large Clubs
More influence
BY Fred Hawthorne

Now that the threatened discord
over the election Of officers Of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association for 1913 mas been smoothed
out and harmony once more reigns, it
is probable that other matters upon
which there has heretofore existed a
decided difference Of opinion between
certain factions in The association will
also be settled in a satisfactory man
ner. Recently both sides have shown
a commcndable disposition to get to-
gether" for the good OF the game,
burying all differences Of the past.
Some weeks ago in this column we
gave an outline Of l.. II. Waidner's
IDEAS for the equalization Of voting
power in the association. AIR. Wald
ner. who IS the president Of the West
ern Association, advocated a system of
voting through eleven sectional dele
gates, claiming that this plan has
worked out admirably in actual opera
tion and has done much for Lawn ten
mis- in the sections where the plan has
been tried.
Julian S. Myrick. vice-president Of
the United States National Lawn Ten
mis- Association, in at interview yes
terday presented his ideas as to what
constituted perfect equalization Of
voting power. The system advocated
seems to follow somewhat along the
same lines used IN the Electoral Col
legp at Washington by which the Pres
ident is elected.
Speaking on this subject, Mr.. Myrlck
said "While in California last sprlng

Motor RACING
Season Starts
Memorial Day

Devotees OF automobile speed racing
are not to be denied their favorite di-
Ycrsion this year. Plans were COM
pleted last night for the holding of a
series Of championship events this sea-
son at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway
by William H. Wellman, who conduct
ed races at the track last year. The
first date probably will be Memorial
Day, Thursday, May 80, with a crack
field of American and European start
ers.
1t is planned to hold three meets
during the year. The final and feature
event of the season will be the Hark-
ness Cup classic, which drew over
IS 900 people to the Bay last Septem-
Der. The distance will be announced
later for the first contest. Louis Chev-
rolet, who won the Hardness Cup last
season, probably will be one of the
starters this yea-
Ralph De Palma. the snort distance
speed king and holder of the world S
six-hour record. will renew his racing
feud with Chevrolet. Dario Resta, who
emerged from retirement for one race
in 1917, is itching to get back into the
game again
Johnny Aitken. runner-up to Resta
IN 1916, has signitied his intention of
starting again this year. Ira Vail and
Ralph milford, the Brooklyn repre-
sentatives, are getting their cars
ready. and Gil Anderson, Eddie Hearne.
Earl Cooper and a score of other
lesser lights will be seen chasing the
gold and glory.
Four European stars will brave the
U-boats to compete on American tracks
this year. They are Rene Thomas.
Jean Chassagne, Arthur Duray and Al
bert Guyot. This quartet has not
raced in America for several seasons,
but all of them have regulations that
put them in the front rank.
The popular priced policy that was
insugurated by Promoter Welman last
year will again prevail. The approval
of this plan that was voiced by the
large attendance at the two meetings
last year doomed forever the high
priced schedule.
Numerous aviation features will also
be introduced. Ruth Law, Katherine
Stinson. De Lloyd Thompson and Jean
Domenjoz will be seen during the sea-
son in contests and exhibitions.
