FISTIC HISTORY

Fred Fulton, who is hot after Jess
Wizards heavyweight title, is TWEEN
ty-seven years old today. Although
the big bruiser considers himself a
citizen of Rochester, Mimi, he is, like
Willard, Kansan by birth. Blue
Rapids, in the northern part of the
Sunfiower state, was the scene of
Fulton's first appearance on earth, on
April IS, 1891. He has been active
in the ring about five years. and has
defeated most of his opponents, al
though he was knocked out by AL
Palzer in 1914 and has on other occi-
sions not shown up as well as he
might. Fulton is six feet four and d
half inches in height, which up to a
short time ago seemed to be his
greatest recommendation as a fighter
Fred proved that he has a punch
when he knocked out Jim Flynn in
the second round of bout in Mil
waukee in March, 1916, but his great
trouble seems to be lack of conf
dence, so that it is very hard to tell
just what he will do until he gets
into the ring. He has issued vari-
Gus challenges to Willard. and may
be before long something will come
of it if Jack Dempsey doesn't get
there first.

Crawford's Birthday

Sam Crawford, the veteran who this
year entered the list of ex-big-
leaguers, will celebrate his thirty
eighth birthday today. Samuel, as
every educated person knows, is a
native of Wahoo, Neb., and he has
has long had the reputation of being
an "old war-horse." Up to a little
while ago, however, he delivered the
goods, and delivered them in large
quantities, but now his diamond days
are over.
Crawford was apprenticed to a bar
Der when he was a kid, but the ton
serial profession did not appeal to
him and at the age of seventeen he
got job as pitcher for semi-pro
club at West Point, Neb., playing the
outf1eld when not scheduled for box
duty, for which he received the mag
nificent honorarium of $50 per
month. After two seasons with va
rious semi-pro clubs in Nebraska he
received an offer in 1893 from the
Chatham club of the Canadian
league. In mid-season Sam landed
with Columbus, Ohio, and was i'm
mediately transferred to Grand Rap
ids, and towards the close of the sea-
son he was sold to Cincinnati. He
remained in Redland until 1908, when
he went to Detroit. His subsequent
history is known to all.

BAKER WRECKS
| SENATORS HOPES
Famous Wagon Pole Weld
er Hits Sacrifice Fly That
Wins for Yanks.

Washington, April 1S.---Frank Ba-
ker refused to let Walter johnson
hand him a base on balls in the
twelfth inning of yesterdays game
between the Yankees and Senators
while ball game swung in the bal
ance. With runners on first and third
bases Baker took a swing at what
Johnson meant to be the third ball of
an intentional pass and drove it into
deep centre field. 1t proved to be
sacrifice fly which enabled Derrill
Pratt to race in from third base with
the run which gave the verdict by 8
to 7.
Throwing johnson for loss twice
in the space of three days is a nota-
BILE distinction for the Higgins troupe,
1t became necessary to spike the big
gun in the gathering darkness last
evening or take a second trimming in
two days and the hard hitting Yanks
were equal to the task, despite a con-
| tinuation of the bad pitching which
| had marked their previous efforts
here. Johnson arrived on the battle
ground at sour minutes before seven
o'clock, replacing Earl Warrington.
1t was 1885 o'clock when taps were
sounded on the carnival of run-get-
| ting.
The New Workers opened up like
easy winners. They collected four
runs before the home team got a
chance to do any scoring, and a
pitcher who knows that five runs are
necessary before he can be defeated,
usually goes along with some conf
dence. Herb Thormahlen, Higgins S
young southpaw, may have had the
confidence, but he positively was
short on control. He didn't last to
the end of the first inning. He pitched
to five batsmen and the dope sheet
shows that he walked three and hit
another Huggins as aging fast be-
cause of his pitchers.
Then came big Slim Love, who got
back into uniform yesterday after be-
ing in the Red Cross tent with grippe
during the engagement here Tuesday
For a while it looked as if Slim was
going to carry the Yanks along as
Higgins hoped. but he weakened
enough in the eighth to pass the first
batsman to face him with the score
7 to 6 in New York's favor, and Hug
gins used the derrick. 1t was NO
gridge who did the moonlight work
during which the Senators stopped
and the Yanks rode to victory.

BARNES BLANKS
DODGERS, z TO 0.
Giants New Moundsman
Hurls Shutout Ball
! Against Brooklyn

Henry Zimmerman of the Bronx
started running the bases backwards
at the Polo Grounds yesterday, just
where he left off in the worlds SER
les last fall when he lost heat to
Eddie Collins. During a smart, snap
by game, in which the Giants polish
ed the Brooklyn Dodgers by a score
of to 0, Heinie happened to think
that he hadn't tried out his sprinting
talents for some time. He was on
first base at the time, and it could
easily be seen that his plan was to
sprint from first to second in about
three or four seconds.
Zim was on first in the second inn
ing by virtue of a genuine base hit.
With the turn of Jack Coombss aged
arm, Heinie started for second. Mil
Ter caught the ball and whipped it
down to Schmandt at second SO fast
that the Dodger stood waiting with
the ball like the chairman of re-
ception committee. When Zim saw
that the ball had arrived long before
him, he changed his mind about
stealing second and started back to
first with Schmandt in pursuit. There
was something faulty about Zim'
strategy, Tor Wnen ne got DdCk "
first there was Daubert with the ball
and he tagged him out. Schmandt
crossed Zim, because Heinie figured
that the new second baseman would
chase him without throwing the ball.
Tim is never at a loss for new ideas
about running bases.
In praying this game from Brook
Ign, McGraw trotted out his newest
pitching commodity, Jess Barnes. He
negotiated the shutout with the aid OF
gilt-edged fielding support from his
club mates. The Giants fielded fault
lessly. and supported Barnes's fling
ing with twenty-one perfect assists
Even George Burns, in the outfield
took part in two of the plays which
cut down the Dodger runners on the
bases. The Dodgers got more hits of
Barnes than the Giants did off JACK
Coombs, but his alright support hello
his performance intact. Some day!
it takes as long as two hours to bea
Brooklyn, but yesterday it took only
an hour and quarter.

Young Jake Defeats Coch-

envy in New York for several DAYS
came to close last night with Schae-
fer the winner. The son of the IA
nous wizard lost only one game in
the event, that to Cochran last night
by score of 800 to SO. Cochran. on
the other hand, was beaten by both
Schaefer and Yamada, and had to be
content with second place and Yama
was third
The play yesterday provided two
surprises. In the afternoon Yamada,
who has been in miserable stroke
ever since he came from the west,
suddenly struck his stride and Coch-
iran was the victim. The japanese
won by a score of 800 to So, and es-
tablished an average of AZ ST, which
compares favorably with the best
performances by Cochran and Schae-
fer. In the evening game Schaefer,
who has twice defeated Cochran, was
forced to give way before his rival.
He could not command the worries
for any large runs, and when Co
| chran clicked off 1877 and 81 to
close out his string, Schaefer was
| left far behind.
