The Columbia freshmen were defeat.

decidedly cleaner than the yearlings'

Some critics at New Orleans de-
clared that Fulton had announced be-
fore entering the ring that he was 90
ing to "outgame' Moran first and then
knock him out. According to these
same critics, Fulton actually stuck out
his long, pointed chin and allowed
Moran to swing his Mary Ann S''p~fq rirbt
on the button, and took the blows with
out batting an eye. He did this for
two rounds, as THOUGH to demonstrates
that the suffrage coors have no place
IN his makeup, and then started ia
batter poor Frank down with crushino
rights and ]cftS.
The very fact that no man has been
able to stand against Dempscv-and

IS pretty conclusive proof that Jack
may make whole mountain of trouble

oattie when the two contenders meet

"Goo' mornin', Jess Willard; howdy!
That Fulton boy was just here on the
corner, waiting to see you, and he
seemed mighty uppish. Said as how
he would take you right out before tho
whole class and punch you full Of
holes. And see that mark out there on
the road? Well, Fred said he would
be here in an hour and would dare YOU
to step across it. He'll be back to tell
you so himself
"And say, Jess, you remember that
Dempsey boy, don't you? That new
feller who just came to town? Well,
he was around here, too, and he seemed
awful mussy. Told as how he licked
that Brennan boy on Monday, and said
he could do the same thing to you
Looks like they are picking on you

happened at New Orleans and at Mil

Miller Higgins, the diminutive man
ager of the Yankees has notified the
local Office that he will be back on the
job to-day. Whether or not he has
been able to part Western clubs from
envied material, the head office will
venture no opinion. The head office
has been somewhat mysterious all win
ter. So far the announcement of not
single singned contract Las been
forthcoming, though it is generally be-
lleved that number of Yankees have
already signed.
According to the exchanges, Hug
GINS has been seen in Detroit. Cleve-
land, Chicago and St. Louis since he
quit this city at the time of the re-
cent big league meetings. If he has
made any trade or purchases he has
been unusually successful in keeping
the secret.
Higgins should be reassured by the
fine report brought back from Cuba by
John McGraw as to the physical con-
dition of Outhclder Armada Marsans
