MULvIHILL MAY LAND BIG BOUT;
 TELLS COLONEL MILLER HIS PLANS

wait while and look around. have received a number of offers, some le- gitimate and others from men who are Joking for a little free advertis- ing.
 "Im not looking for any angel for the bout and would prefer to stage it myself. But wherever it is held, I will have to have some local people in with me. Friends of Mike Collins, manager of Fulton, have made me an offer of $135,0o to take the bout off my hands and stage it in Minneapolis.
 "There is not the slightest chance of the bout being held in New Jersey, In the first place that state allows only eight rounds. and, furthermore only eight ounce gloves can be used Such conditions would not create much interest"
 Connecticut would be the ideal spot to settle thes upremacy between the two gladiators, for the bout would draw flock of fans from New York. It Is less than a two-hour ride to New Haven, Bridgeport or Danbury on a special train, and the New York crowd would be willing to pay high prices for ringside seats, provided, o1 course, that the bout was for 1E rounds or more and to a decision.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-03-29

The coming battle between Jess Willard, the owner of the heavyweight crown and late circusp erformer, and Fred Fulton, the Minnesota plasterer, will probably take place somewhere in Connecticut. Col. Joseph E. Miller, who holds the papers" for the bout between the two giants of the ring, declared on his arrival in New York yesterday that if satisfactory arrange ments could be made the fight would take place in the East.
 Upon hearing these words uttered Joe Mulvihill, the fight promoter, of New Haven, promptly offered the Colonel 1000 to stage the bout in Danbury, Bridgeport or New Haven. Mulvihill also whispered to the Colo mel that there was no law against boxing in the state of Connecticut and that 20-round decision bouts had been held in New Haven in the past.
 Mulvihill added that ample seating capacity for the bout could be ar ranged for at the Danbury Fair Ground and at the ballp ark in Bridgeport. He has already talked to the officials of the state about holding the bout and they are going to give him his answer on Monday.
 'Mr. MulvihilPs offer sounds good" said the Colonel afterward, 'but I'll

PORTO STILL CLIMBING

Joe Porto, the Academy star of New Haven, entrenched himself in the lead of the state individual duckin tourna- ment in Naugatuck last night at the expense of Fred Teller, the Naugatuck premier bowler, when he defeated him seven out of nine games.
 Porto had perfect control over the little pill and scored above one hun dred in every game. He lost the first and last game to Teller. The above achievement is the first atttained in the state contest.
 His victory over Teller proved to be quite a surprise as Teller was look ed forward to win the series. The few New Haven fans who followed Porto to the home of the enemy had the time of their lives watching the little fellow take game after game, much to the disappointment of the large Teller delegation which turned out at the White Bear alleys. The score. Porto-103, 104, 106, 116, no, 1oS, It5, 132, 113. Total, 1907. Average, HIS.

PETERSON HELPS
 NEWSP PAPERMEN

Gents, step right this way and meet Mistah Albert Benefacto Peterson, the blonde duckpin annihilator of the, Newspapermen's bowling outfit! The boy who came across with three healthy scores lsat evening in the Holy Rollers league at Connie Lewis Park City alleys, thereby giving the Scribes a two to one victory over Dinnie Suli- vans Traffic Cops five.
 If it hadn't been for Pete's Stellar rolling goodness only knows where tho pencil pusher would have landed after the three games were over. Brothers Donegan and Magner were in there like a fish trying everything known to bowling science but failed to make anything that looked like score bet on the slippery lanes.
 It was certainly a big night for friend Pete. In the first game he was knocking 'en right and left across the boards and finished the tenth frame with a neat little 134 score. In the next game Pete registered a mark of 1O4 and pulled in an even century in the final game, making his nights total 33S. Here's hoping Peterson isn't claimed in the draft until the season is over.
 The City Hall bunch added a few more points to their standing in first place by taking the Twelfth District Republican club into camp by winning all three games. The City Officials total of 1499 broke the league record adding to wenty pins to the mark. Next week the Scribes will have it out with Matt Lucey's leaders while the Traffic Cops will take on the 1 Twelfth District club. The scores:

GIANTS START ON
 JOURNEY TO HOME.

Marlin, Tex, March 29-"Goo di, Marlin The Giants, big and little, finished the hard two weeks grind here yesterday and have started north to begin a series of toadhop- ping from one Southern town to an- other, until the final leap plunks them down in Gotham on April 14.
 Some of the rockies and one or two regular pitchers will remain in Mar lin over Sunday for a last loosening up. That done, Jack OnsloW, the big catcher, will lead a march to John Cancels training camp, at Parsons Kan, commanding a troop composed of Hubbel, Hogan, Johnson and Pitt. Baker, Hoyt, SwigIer and O'Neill will strike out for Nashville.
 Smith and Causey will be held temporarily. Hemingway is the only man who has not been disposed of il: any way. He may be kept with the team.
 With the exception of schupp and Sallee, the Giant twirlers are leav- ing in better condition than on any similar occasion Schupp's arm is un- questionably sore and his short ses- sion on the mound the other day did | not loosen it up any.
 Sallee was whipped back into the | arnica class unexpectedly because he tried to put too much on the ball al his last. appearance. It isn't like the old Sheriff to rush things, but the balmy weather hoodwinked Slim into believing that he could go at tor I speed for one warm afternoon al least. He is paying for his indis- cretion, and today sat on the bench with Schupp eursing pitching luck 1T general.
 The big fellows wound up the day | by playing an exhibition game fol the benefit of St. Joseph's church a

 . LEAGUE DISBANDS
 AFTER 2e YEARS

New York, March 29-The Inter national League disbanded yesterday, after being in existence for 26 years The meeting at which this action was taken was held behind locked doors and according to all the noises and oc- casional volleys of conversation which waited through the trapsom there was a wide variance of opinion about what should be done. When the club owners went into session Acting President Charles T. Chapin of Rochester told the club owners that the meting would differ from the netting of Wednesday, inasmuch as only one club owner would be per mitted to speak at one time. After being in session a short while, this rule was automatically suspended.
 The league disbanded by vote of 6 to 2. None of the club owners ex- cept MT. Chapin would say how they voted. The acting president held the proxy of the defunct Buffalo club and he cast the Rochester and Buffalo woes in favor of disbanding The two votes, in favor of continuing, were cast by Richmond and Newark.
 During the meeting MT. Chapin left the chair and Samuel Litchtenhein presided while the Rochester owner made the motion that the league dis band. First he stated that Rochester wished to withdraw from the league. The motion to disband was seconded by the Providence club.
 B. W. Wilson of the Richmond club then offered an amendment to the motion asking for the league to con- tinue and made an attempt to per- suade the club owners to hold the league together. No one would second MT. Wilson's amendment so when the original motion to disband was put to a vote, MT. Wilson of Richmond, and James Price of Newark voted against it. Baltimore. Montreal, Toronto Rochester, Buffalo and Providence voted the organization into oblivion
 When Jack Dunn of Baltimore was asked what was to become of all the International players he said that he did not think there were any players left in the organization, except per

|"BOB" SHAWKEy
 LOST TO YANKEES

Macon, Ga, March 29.-A big gap was torn in the Yankee pitching staff yesterday. Bob Shawkey hung his baseball togs in the closet and an- uounced he would leave for Philadel- phia today to enlist to fight for Uncle Sam. Bob intends casting his lot with the aviation branch of the service.
 Early last evening Shawkey re- ceived word from Washington that his sihcation had been transferrel to Class IA and that he had received No. PAY in the drawing, which practl- l acly made it a certainty he would be called soon. Shawl1ey is married, but on account of his being separated from his wife his classification was changed to IA Having liking for the aviation branch of the service and knowing that if drafted he might De assigned to another branch he decid- ed to enlist at once.
 | Shawkey's loss will be felt keenly by Higgins, as he had expected Bob would be one of his mainstays in the box. The none too strong appearing staff of Yankee hurlers now will have to be strengthened by the addition of some heavier to fill Shawkey's place The lack of certainty regarding Eddie Plank maves it almist Imperative that Huggins secure another veteran hurler.
 In the two and a half years Shaw key has been with the Yankees he has been shelled off the peak only twice Last Fourth of July morning Wash Iine+on chased him to cover. The only other time shawkey spilled the pitch er's burden for the Tanks was in 19l6 when he was yanked out of the boS lin a game against Cleveland. Witt a heavy hitting team behind hin every one looked for a big year fol Bob this season.

haps a few untried recruits. Presi- dent James c. McGin said that he came here with the intention of buy ing some of the leagues players, but much to his surprise, he found that there were no players for sale, as they had all been disposed of. If this is true, it will come as a great sur prise to many of the players who have been waiting patiently for the league to disband so that they could get other positions.
 One of the International League players said that if the club owners had disposed of their players secretly, knowing that the league would soon disband, the players would all proba- bly, seek redress from the National Commission. The fact of the leagues disbanding makes all the players free agents automatically and according to baseball law, the International League lso surrenders its territory. These mtters will be taken up immediately by the National Association and if there is any delay or complications about the matter, the National Com mission will step in and adjust condi- tions.
 There was more or less discussion yesterday that an effort would be made to reorganize the league under a new name and under lower classif- cation. If this reorganization is to be l tried none of the club owners of the late departed league care to say any, thing about it. By combining a few
 of the International League cities some of the New York State cities and l perhaps one or two Eastern League
 cities, such a circuit might be organ.
 ized, but from present uncertain indi-
 cations, such a league seems very un-
 likely.

GARDNER USED
 GOOD JUDGMENT

Instead of kicking over the traces when he learned that he had been sent to the Athletics by the Red Sox Third Baseman Larry Gardner sen- sibly reported to Connie Mack and is working diligently to help the team. Gardner hated to leave Bos- ton, where he was public idol, but he realized that he couldn't buck against the rules of Organized Base ball. Consequently he is aiding Mack by exerting his influence over the other players and in that way he is making a new army of friends in Philadelphia. The Red Sox may regret Gardner's departure before the season ends.
