Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

FIJI, no, hum! We haven't opened q
bottle of wine with box-fighter in
six days, come this morning, and those
two spendthrifts, "Ferocious" Freddy
Fulton and demon" Dempsey, located
right in the suburbs, too.
Did you happen to notice, Aunt
Eleanor Ann, where Fulton is doing
his training? AT place called RYE
Beach. Mike Collins, Freddy's man
ager. mentioned long list of seaside
resorts to "Ferocious" as nice places
in which to train but Frederick never
batted an eye until Mike came to Rye
Beach, and then the "precocious
plastecer" gulped three times and al
lowed as he liked the "given" name
of that place, it had such FRIENDLY
sound. But don't misunderstood us.
We don't mean to insinuate that Full
ton is training on Rye (Beach). No, he
is working out on the beach at Rye.
Which is an awful difference, as the
Kaiser said on Thursday morning of
last week, when he started running
back to Berlin.
Dempsey was less particular as to
where he trained He asked Jack
kearns, his ring nurse, orly one ques-
tion when Jack named Long Branch as
a suitable place. "How often do they
put the feed bag on down there ?" And
when Kearns assured the demon" that
the Long Branch natives had regular
habits in that line, Dempsey packed
his grip and asked to be led to the
dining room.
Nothing to Do but Fight
Now that these important details
have been settled, the only thing left
to do is for Jack and Fred to fight
Saturday evening in the Federal League
hall park out in Harrison, N. j., but
whether they will or not is something
else again.
WE never had trouble in getting a
tight when We were young fellow the
age of these two birds, but it just does
seem as though the neighbors would

nasty
"'Work or flght!" say the government
authorities.
Gosh, amt that what we've been
TRYING to do these last two months!' y
say Jack and Fred in chorus, unison
and unanimously.
We haven't seen Jack Dempsey in
the ring since he amounted to a hill
OF llma beans, and we have seen Fred
Fulton deal out some wicked punish
ment with that pile driving left hand
OF his, so ordinarily we would favor
| Fulton to win this fight But we have
hunch Aunt Nelly. Some umpty-
umph years ago, when we wore those
cute little romper suits, our big
brother, Jack, used to lam the tai
out OF us, and since then we never
could get the idea out of our head
that every time Jack and a Fred put
up their hands, poor little Freddy was
IN Tor good old-fashiored beating.

Just after finishing that last epic
paragraph there came "long dis,

Golf Notes

William Scott, the professional of
the Raritan Valley Country Club, of
Somerville, N. j., and who was for
merly the professional of the Mont
clair Golf Club, made a new record of
" for the Raritan Valley course the
other day while playing with Senator
Frellnghuysen. Scott had been doing
the course lately in from "a to II, and
that morning he did a Is. So the Sena-
ator said: ~ should like to see YOU do
some of these rounds IN the seventies" :"
The course is 5000 yards long and
the par is 70, hard par, which had
never before been beaten and eoualled
only once. in 1916, by Martin OLough-
lin, the professional of the Plainfeld
Country Club. Scott had no idea of
lowering the record, but he had been
playing steady golf and felt quite con-
tdent of finishing under so.
He started off we'll by playing per-
feet golf and making the holes in par.
He went out in the par of 36 and kept
up his good work, coming back in &C.,
one stroke under par. His score was:
in.' @ 5 4 4 ; 3 s-sS-7a s-sS
Robert Thompson, professional of the
Glen Ridge Country Club, fell and
fractured his shoulder recently. In the
hospital they put him up in plaster of
paris down to his waist.
One of the most important golhng
events of the season will be the anna
teur tournament of the Deal Golf Club
the first three days in August.

-Four amous
Athletes Join
Y.M.C.A. Forces

Four names stand out IL the grist
which came to the mill Of the depart
ment of physical directors and sports
leaders of the overseas recruiting drive
OF the Y. NJ. C. A, according to the
chairman of the committee, Herbert
l.. Pratt. Mr.. Pratt stated that after
the list of volunteers had been sifted
it was found that among them were
Tom Sharkey, onetime heavyweight
pugilist; Jack McAuliffe, who retired
with record of never having taken
a beating from middleweight; Walter
c. ("Dutch") Carter, Yale '96, greatest
college baseball pitcher Of his time,
and William ("Bill") Roper. whose
name will live long in the history of
Princeton football.
If Clutch" Carter can overcome an
attack of rheumatism in the legs, and
if Bill" Roper can arrange his bust
ness affairs in Philadelphia, both men
front to lead the fighting men in all
sorts of games, from football and base
ball to swat tag and leap frog. Sharkey
and McAuliffe combine such variety
of talents that it will be difficult to
determine where they can be used to
best advantage The latter has made
a considerable reputation in vaudeville
and also has several reels of unusual
film which he has placed at the dis
posal of the Y. NJ c. A.
"The result of the campaign for lead
ers in sports has been very successful" !"
said Mr.. Pratt eve asked New York
to give us 100 men capable of leading
those homesick boys in France in
healthy outdoor play. Platt Adams,
who has had active charge of the re-
cruiting and will go to France soon,
reports that he obtained seventy-five ex-
cellent prospects during the week and
expects to exceed the hundred desired
before the end of this week.
"But we must have many more men
in this department. Our soldiers are
landing in France by the tens of thou
sands and we must make it as much
like home az possible for them. There
are not enough there now, and the
wounding of Jack Magee, of Bowdoin.
a few days ago is a loss that will be
felt.
"The injury to Jack gives me an op-
portunity to make point which many
have overlooked. Secretary Daniels
phrased it mighty we'll the other night
when he said that every man in this
country who was not doing his full
duty was Stacker, whether he was
Of draft age or not"
Mr.. Pratt was loud in his praise of
Miller Higgins and the Yankees for
lending themselves to the drive.

WHERE ARE THEY?
What Has BerOmc OF the Blucbirds
Who Formerly We're the Har-
bingcrs OF spring?

A bird lover, Rudolph Rau, is won
dering as is possibly the case other
people are as to what has become OF
the Dllebirds those former harbingers
OF spring--who are not in evidence
this year Said MIR. Rau:
Early In the eighties the bluebirds
suddenly turned up missing. and for
two years none We're seen. 1t was
explained by observers at that time
that II very severe winter had evi-
IDENTITY caught the bluebirds mapping
as thousands Of them were found
frozen in hollow logs and other cover
to wht- h they had fled"
To-day is would seem that some
thing has again happened to the blue
birds. even as in the eighties. 1t may
be false alarm" but far fewer of
these delightful creatures have been
seen this spring than usual. Several
bird students tramped the vast
stretches os Bartlett park week
ago, for instance, and failed 10 see a
single bluebird--whereas dozens would
have been noted in past years.
No reports have been received from
out in the state. and it may be that
the dearth Of bluebirds is local. II
So 1t Is well.
To lose the bluebirds, and to have
10 wait q number Of years while they
propagate and renew their strength
Of numbers would be considerable
disaster TO those who enjoy the out
doors for the acquaintance It gives
them with the winged wonders.

THE LOG ROLLED
And Crushed the Life out of tho Body
of \. j.. Cow of
Holt.


Information reached this city two
weeks ago Of the death of \. J. Cow
4 OF Holt, Mo, father of w. G..
Cow, the we'll known st. Joseph 6usl-
ness man, but no detail was available.
From the Rustler printed at that place
the following account is taken:
/ "A. J. Cow, one of Holt's best known
I and most highly respected citizens.
/ was accidentally killed Tuesday.
/ "Mr Cow was trimming up walnut
/ tree tops in the Thompson timber,
east OF town. He had partly trimmed
Ia tree. and the supposition is that he
cut off limb. causing the log to roll,
and a large limb struck him, crushing
him to the ground.
when Mr.. Cow did not come home
at supper time, Mrs. Cow called her
son, Claude. who lives near the
/ Thompson place, and asked what was
the matter. He Immediately started
search for his father, calling some
of the neighbors to his assistance.
THE body was found by Misses
( Cora and Myrtle Shugart about 1880
O'Clock. They Immediately got assist
ance and the body was removed from
under the tree and brought to the
home in this city.
"The body was found in a sitting
position. with the head and chest bent
4 forward upon the ground. and was
held by the weight Of the tree. the
combined efforts Of five people being
required to remove IT,
From the marks and contusions
about the head and body it is suppos-
ed that Mr.. Cow was killed almost
instantly. although there is no means
Of knowing when the accident o.
CURED Evidently it was some time
before noon. as he had not eaten the
lunch which he had taken with him.
THE authorities at Liberty were
notified OF the accident but deemed
an inquest unnecessary, taking the
settlements OF those who found the
body as clear evidence of the manner
in which Mr. Cow met his DEATH"
