JACK DEMPSEY MAY
MEET FRED FULTON
Now That Willard Fulton Bout Has
Been Called on.

Now That Willard Fulton Bout Has
Been Called on.
With the bout between Jess Willard
and Fred Fulton called off, hght fol-
lowers are beginning to turn their at
tention to a probable meeting between
Jack Dempsey and Fulton.
The reason is the result of the battle
in St Paul between Miske and Demp-
sey, in which Miske was given slightly
the worst of it by his sensational op-
ponent Miske already had met Full
ton and had held him practically even.
In fact, If Fulton did succeed in shad-
ing Miske it was not by so great n
margin as the defeat which Dempsey
plastered on Miske. Naturally, the
process of elimination leads directly to
a meeting between the most prominent
heavies, which in this case are Demp-
sey and Fulton.
Miske lost no prestige through
Dempsey's victory. The st. Paul ligh,
heavy is such tough bird, so thor
bout Miske has ability to spare. He
take If he ever consents to meet either
Fulton or Dempsey again in a shori
bout. Miske has ability to spare. He
is able to take punishment and hand
il out in return. With his toughness
he probably would be able to appear to
greater advantage in a longer bout.
In the same connection it might be
mentioned that Havana is making ef-
forts to land the Fulton mill
since so much opposition to the fraca.
has developed in this country. 1
purse of $4,000 has been offered. with
privileges that would make it decidely
worth while.

WRIST-WATCH SAMMY
BY KATHARINE EGGLESTON
Of the Vlallantes.

A bloated, boastful-looking man sat
at lunch table alone. Men came to
him occasionally. He made notes In a
small book. He was engaged in the
highly-useful profession of book-msk-
ing.
His bulging eyes caught sight Of a
wrist-watch on the arm Of a young
man In khaki.
'Humph! pretty Sammy and his
wrist-watch! All dolled up and don't
know how to fghtl Won't the business
end Of q bunch of Boche guns make
him run. Ought to have stop-watch
to keep record Of his getaway speed.
"These picture soldiers make me sick
Wonder what that wrist-watch Sam
my'll do when they send him over the
top. Poor boy!"
People around him burned at the IN
suit to the uniform. The lady with
the khaki-clad Sammy rose and went
to the check-stand. She returned with
a pair Of crutches. The Samny's right
leg was off at the knee.

them and the worlds democracy made
by that precious Wrist-Watch Sammy.

Loading Company's plant in Morgan

entertainment which will be held for
the employees OF that camp tonight.
The athletic directors at camp,
Homer Baker and Herman Brick
man, have gone to considerable trou-
BILE in order to secure some fast men
for the bouts and the employees of the
camp are to be given an entertain
ment which cannot help but please.
Any local fellow who wishes to go
on in a bout should apply at the main
gate between 6:30 and 1880 o'clock
and ask for Director Baker. who will
see what can be done in the way of
matching him up. II a suitable part
ner cannot be found for these men
they will be allowed to witness the
performances free Of charge.
Tonight's entertainment will be the
first of a series of similar affairs to
be held at the camp for the benefit
of the employees. Thursday night has
been decided upon as the best time
for the holding of these events.

ITO GIVE LIBERTY BONDS
AND WAR STAMPS As PRIZES
Expect $4,000 to Spend for Govern
ment Bonds and Stamps at Trap
shooting Event in Chicago.


Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps certificates will be generously
given in lieu of cash prizes in all or
the events that comprise the l9th
Grand American trapshoting handicap
tournament, which will be conducted
over the traps of the South Shore
Country Club, Chicago, Ill.,. August 5,
6, Z, and 9. -,
Just what division of the purse will
be turned into Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps will not be known for
a couple of weeks. The idea is being
worked out by Elmer E. Shaner, man
ager of the Interstate Trapshooting
Association, and as soon as he whips
the figures into shape they will be
given to the press and public.
In the neighborhood of $4,000 Is
awarded to the trapshooters in this,
the greatest of all American sporting
events. 1t is possible that two-thirds
of that sum will be expended for the
purchase of Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps.
This idea Of Libery Bonds and War
Savings Stamps as prizes works for the
benefit Of the trapshooters and the
government. The shooter gets the bond
and can cut coupons for few years
while the government gets the money
in its time of need.
This feature should add greatly to
the importance of the Grand American
trapshooting tournament. No sport
ing fraternity has been more liberal
in giving to the governm ent than trap
shooters. They have donated amou-
lances to the Red Cross, and these am
balances are now doing service in
France. More than 100. 900 trapshoot-
ers are enrolled in Uncle Sans All
American team; every gun club has
thrown open its doors to foster the
learn to shoot" idea, and in every
important trarshooting tournament
this year, and in many of the smaller
ones, too. Liberty Bonds and War Saw
ings Stamps are the only prizes

J0IE RAY CAN RUN
MILE AND ENJOY 1T
Chicago Ffeet-footcd Middle Distance
Runner Satisfies Crowd

Runner Satisfies Crowd
CHICAGO, May 23:-The ordinary
crowd at a track meet lenses when
the century sprinters are called to
the marks. The gun barks and some
one lets loose an excited yelp which
grows into a roar as the entire crowd
loses itself in the excitement Of a
close finish.
TSen there comes a mile race and
the crowd subsidies.
That's the ordinary crowd. The un-
usual crowd is found when Joie Ray
of Chicago runs the mile. Joie makes
the mile race an exciting entertain
ment By the time Joie has circled
the track on his first lap the crowds S
with him and at the finish he reaps
as much applause as the fashy
sprinter. He accomplishes this by
running as though he likes it, making
a race out of it and not a test of en-
durance.
He began training as soon as he
could walk. Something told him he
had to run SO he ran. He got up
feeling so good some days that he
ran five or ten miles just for fun. AS
matter of fact he still makes fun
of his training and perhaps that is
why he enjoys. and others enjoy his
racing.
Joie gained fame in 1915 when he
won the mile in the Panama-Pacific
games at San Francisco. The an
nouncer introduced Taber Kiviat
Wilson and Meyers, all we'll known
milers. 'Joie Ray will also rum" the
announcer finally said.
Joie was peevish. Don't introduce
me now; you'll have to when the race
is over" he snapped at the announcer.
What's more he made the prediction
Come-true.
Ray has won championship after
championship from the 1000 yard
event to the FIVE mile. He has beat
the best of them and he's still going
strong. He wants a world record
now.

Some managers, past and presen.
have insisted that their boxmen be
above the average in height.
John McGraw has belonged to this
class Ito his sorrow in 1910 when he
saw one of his cast-offs, Dick Rudolph,
who had been dropped from the Giants
on account of his small stature, lead
the drive which resulted in the Braves
beating the Giants to the wire by a
substantial margin.
But as general rule the great
pitchers have been men of the six-foot
class. Mathewson. Alexander, John

League sensation and George Foster
are the most noteworthy. These men
have been called diminutive, but none
of them is under five feet nine, which
in any other line would be considered
a fair height.
This brings up the question of the
super -pitchers-those ranging far over
six feet and their effectiveness.
This story.was suggested by the fact
that Slim Love of the Yanks is the
| most dependable of Higgins boxmen
this season.
Love sands half foot over six feet
and when he stretches out his long
left pitching arm he can almost tweak
the batter's nose.
Love is due to become one Of the
greats in the box game this season If
early indications do not miscarry.
