MURPHY BELIEVES
 INTS WILL GIVE UP

New Haven, March 21,-Danny Murphy, manager Of the New Haven baseball club, will attend the meeting of the International League to be held in New York next week. Murphy has reason to believe that the Ints will formally disband at that time and that the managers and club-owners will be falling al over themselves in an effort to dispose of their talent.
 Murphy had his eyes centered on two pitchers which he expects will form the nucleus for a strong pitching staff here next season. Murphy last night refused to divulge the names of the men he is after but expressed the opinion that they will prove consist ent winners for the locals. Both are right handlers, it is understood
 Owner Jim Collins made a hurried visit to Norwich yesterday and dis cussed local conditions, in general, with Murphy. Murphy seemed well satisfied with the conditions as a whole. He expects to be in New Haven on Monday night to witness the 15 round battle between Johnny Dun- dee and Willie Jackson.
 It was announced at local baseball headquarters last night that the sign ed contract of Earl Simpson, star left fielder has been received. Stimp- son expressed satisfaction over the contents of the contract and will be here in due time to get into shape for another campaign. He is working | in Detroit, Mich.

FAILS TO
 SECURE RELEASE

Toronto, March 1,-Announce- ment that Napoleon Lajoie, manager of the Toronto club of the Interna- tional Baseball League, would not be released under any consideration was made yesterday by J. J. McGaffrey. President of the club. He said La joie's claim that he should be classed as a free agent was absurd under baseball law. McGaffrey riterated his opinion that the International League would operate this season. Lajoie wanted his release so he could accept the management of the Indianapolis team of the American Association.

ROBSON WINNER
 OF TIN WHISTLES

Irving S. Robeson of Rochester won the championship of all the Tin Whistles at Pinehurst yesterday, by leading the field of II players by a margin of five strokes at the end of the third days competition. He fin ished with a total of 79, 80, S0-239. for the 54 holes. Leslie Deane Pierce of Ekwanok, who was tied with Henry c. Fownes of Platsburg for third place at 163 Tuesday night, four strokes be- hind Robeson, moved up to second place yesterday and finished in S3, 80, S1-244. Dr. George T. Gregg of Pittsburgh, who was in second place Tuesday at 161 for the 36 holes, had a 90 yesterday and dropped back into tie for third honors with Henry c. Fownes at 261.
 Louis A. Hamilton of Garden City came next at 257 for the 54 holes Yesterdays round was played on the difficult No. course and a heavy rain which fell at intervals helped to play havoc with the average scoring Robeson's 80 and Pierce's S1 were the only rounds recorded under S7.

WILLARD TO SIGN
 PAPERS TUESDAY

Chicago, March 21-Final artl- cles of agreement for the worlds championship fight between Jess Willard and Fred Fulton, July 4, will be signed here next Tuesday, according to an announcement made yesterday after a conference at which the details of the fight were discussed.
 'HThe terms and plans for the fight are satisfactory to me-" said Willard.
 "We expect at least three bids for the fight.'
 W. H. Herk, local theatrical manager, announced he would off, fer $125, 900 for the fight. Herk and his partner are said to have leased a part of Collins boxing club in Minneapolis and will hold the fight in the open air if their bid is accepted.

INDEPENDENCE DAY MAY PROVE
 UNLUCKLY ONE FOR JESS WILLARD

quit to the Sapulpa giant.
 Shortly afterward, however, Fulton beat up Sam Langford so terribly at Boston that the ''Tar Baby refused to leave his corner for the seventh round. This was a great boost for Fulton, as no other boxer had ever treated Sam so unkindly.
 The public began to wake to the fact that Fulton was rapidly forging to the front among heavies. When he knocked out Gunboat Smith and forced Carl Morris to quit inside of six rounds, the Rochester man seem ed justified in demanding a battle with the champion.
 Last December, through his man. ager, Mike Collins, Fulton threatened to lay claim to the title unless Willard accorded him a chance in the ring. That brought Willard out of his hole. He hemmed and haWed lot, but he could not very well put off Fulton much longer.
 Meanwhile Fulton kept right on. He lost to Harry Tate on a foul, but came right back and put Tate away in two rounds. He failed to stop Billy Miske in 10 rounds at St. Paul, but came back with knockout of Frank Moran.
 In some quarters there has been a doubt of Fulton's gameness. Particu- larly have New York writers hinted at yellow streak" and yet in his whole record nothing serves to color this suspicion. Al Reich, a hard hit ter landed on Fulton and came close to stopping him, but the Minnesotan came back and handed out the sleep punch himself.
 In his bout with Moran at New Or leans Fulton took 26 of Moran's best prove he could endure punishment. Then he stepped in and dropped Moran in one round.
 Last Monday at St. Louis Tom Cowler dropped him for the count of nine in the opening session, but Full ton came back and knocked out the Englishman in the fifth. These ex- amples do not savor of cowardice or of physical weakness. Wise ring followers bank much on condition. They argue that a boxer | cannot keep in the best ring condition playing round with exhibitions on a circsu stage. They say he musto get into a ring with a real opponent once | in a while or lose all his skill. This l is the argument of those who believe 1 Fulton will win on July 4 from Will 1 lard.
 | Willard won the worlds champion ship from Jack Johnson on April 5, 1915, almost three years ago. Since then he has met but one man, Frank Moran, boxing 10 rounds with him ir i New York on March 25, 1916.
 Fulton has batt1ed 30 times in the same three years, meeting every avail able heavyweight in the country. He has kept in condition by fighting, moi by training in a gymnasium. Because of his constant boxing his admirers can see nothing but victory for him when he steps into a ring and faces Willard.

 OVER ON DEMPSEY

John Relsler, known better as John the Barber, who managed Jack Demp- sey during the Western heavyweight S stay in New York last year, yester- day obtained an injunction from su- preme Court Justice Hand restrain ing Dempsey from taking part in any more bouts. Reisler produced a con- tract for three years signed by Demp- sey. Jack Kearns and, it is under stood, Jack Curley are handling IDempsey's affairs now
 Dempsey will now institute proceed ings to dissolve the injunction, failing which he will have to accept Reisler as his manager or stay out of the ring for three years.

REINA MAKES BIG
 OFFER TO BENNY

New Haven, March 21-Vincent Reina, who is promoting the Johnny Dundee Willie Jackson 15 round bout at the Arena here next Monday night, last night tele- graphed Lightweight Champion Benny Leonard a guarantee of $2O,O0O to meet the winner. Reina would stage the titular match Me morial Day, provided Leonard could obtain q furIough from his boxing duties at Camp Upton, u. l.
 The promoter feels justified in offering Leonard this large sum, inasmuch as the champion and a local drew over 10000 ih recent bout in this city. Jackson Will arrive today to finish his training, while Dundee is getting into con- dftion in New York city.

On July 4, 1910, Jack Johnson knocked out James J. Jeffries; until then the retired and undefeated cham pion, in 15 rounds at Reno, New, for the undisputed championship of the world. Just eight years later, on July 4, 1918, Jess Willard, of Pattawatomie, Kan, is destined to clash with Fred Fulton, of Rochester, Minn., for the title wrested from Jack Johnson's grasp at Havana, April 5, 1915. And because Jeffries failed to defend his honors successfully, some profess to believe that Independence Day will prove just as unfortunate for Will lard. They think Fulton will emerge from that contest the new champion of the world.
 Just where the title clash will be held is now the question vexing the two great pugilists. Handsome offers have come from New Orleans, Dem ing, New Mexico, Las Vegas, New Mexico, and Cheyenne, Wyo., but it is possible that Havana may be the scene of the battle for the fstic crown. It is desired to have the bat tie staged at place convenient for the largest throng to attend, and this will have lot to do with the final ar engagements.
 When Fulton and Willard climb through the ropes on the Fourth of July, it will be their second meeting. On May 14, 1915, when Fulton was hardly known outside of his own townspeople of Rochester, Minn., he battled four rounds with the Kansas giant, the newly-crowned king of heavies. It was an exhibition for Willard, but it came close' to being more serious than that.
 On that May day in Rochester, Minn., Fulton was picked to be the "easy victim of the new champion, who was picking up some easy money in short exhibitions. But the big plasterer chose to upset the dope. In- stead of boxing like a dub, he turned out to be clever. Instead of receiving a beating, he started right in and handed out some stiff medicine ito | Willard.
 In one of the nnixups Willard hit the carpet. Fulton has always claimed that his left hook bumped the cham plOl OIl IIIS SIllIl iici U ClIOoSll IO D4 1lAS1 about his fall. Willard has always claimed that he Slipped" and fell tc the floor However, Fulton's showing was so good that he and Willard were matched for the title, Tommy Burns agreeing to stage the bout at New Orleans, March 4, 1916.
 Meanwhile, Fulton, who really was a green performer, made such a pool showing against Dan ''Porky'' Flynn the Boston heavyweight, on January 28, 1916, that the proposed title bouf was called off. Fulton claimed tha' i he was sick at that time, but his frs chance had gone glimmering, anyway

Joie Ray, the Illinois A. c. runner and holder of the national'1 900 yards indoor championship, last night created a new indoor record at three quarters of a mile in the special race at the annual games of the John Wanamaker Commercial Institute in Madison Square Garden last night. The sturdy little Westerner, making pace that killed off his rivals in the final two laps of the race, was clocked in 3:04 4-5, erasing the pre- vious worlds indoor record of 3:O7 made in 1917 by Joe DriScoll.
 Ray continued right on to the mile mark, after his record breaking per formance at the three-quarters, in an effort to create new figures for the major distance. His effort fell short or achievement, however, for the watches showed AHA 4-5.
 The race was one of the best seen on the board floors in recent years. From start to finish, however, the su- perior ability of Ray was always manifest. Lined up against the stur- dy little Illinois A. c. flyer were Mike f Devaney, Boston Navy Yard, Nation | al half-mile champion; Eddie Fall, ! Great Lakes Naval Training Station ! Conference champion and record holder; Willie Gordon of Pelham Bay Naval Training Station, and Jack Sel- : lers, unattached.
 Starting away at the gun-fire, De- | vaney went into the lead at a fast clip and soon opened up a gap of about fifteen yards on Ray, who was sec ond. Then came Gordon, Sellers and Fall. The order remained the same on the second lap, but on the third lap Fall pulled himselif into fourth position.
 Devaney still led the field on the fourth lap, and there was no appre- ciabIe slackening in the pace of the stout-hearted lad who wore the col ors of the MiIlrose A. A. before be- coming one of Uncle Sans blue jack cts. Late in this lap Ray was displaced from second place by Gordon, but the Illinois flyer quickly regained the po- sition with a sprint that was really the beginning of his record-break1ng whirl about the track.
 Entering the fifth lap Ray went into the lead and thereafter he went like the wind. It seemed as if his pace increased with every sweep of his flying legs. Devaney held close tt the Illinois runner from start to fin ish of that fifth lap, and for a par of the sixth lap, too, but the pace wa / too hot for Mike, and near the enC of the sixth lap he began to falter Ray kept merrily on his way, circlins the track with no letup in the pace to the finish, where he led DevaneJ by twenty-five yards.
 Fall hoped to retrieve himself fol his poor showing last week, agai1 disappointed. The conference cham pion did not run up to his reputation for from the start of the race he wa hopelessly out of it. He finished tn full hree-quarter-mile distance, how ever, though a. very poor third.
 Gordon and Sellers started prima rily as pacemakers, but had no op portunity to act in this capacity. Cor don did, however, jog about the tracl with Ray in the latters futile effor to smash the one-mile figures.
 When the official time was announc ed Billy Rossbach sang out S:O5. Thi declaration was greeted with deafen ing applause. Shortly afterwar6 however, Rossbach announced tn time as 3:e4 4-5, and the din threaten
