know if I ever get the chance I will i whip him."
 Have Slavin or Mitchell as yet signi- fled their intention of acceptins?" asked
 one of the group.
 No. sir" I replied I'm afraid that
 one or the other might do so, as John l.. said it was a case of first come, first
 sery ed. And I want to get him first" Phil Dwyer winked at the others, and then turning to me, said:
 Jim, you seem like a pretty decent fellow, and from what we hear you are
 rather clever boxer I'll be frank with you and tell you that l don't think that you or any other man can whip John L. Sullivan. Just the same the gentlemen
 here like you well enough in this first meeting to take a chance on you" ,, That's right" chorused the others. And so,' added Dwyer slowly, you
 can announce tomorrow morning that
 you will accept Sullivan's challenge, and
 we'll see to it that you get to the post
 on time. Forget your worries about the financial end of it. We'll take care of the $10.000 side bet and all you need to do from now on is to get yourself into the
 best condition of your career to fight the champion
 No kid in the world ever was happier than I during the rest of the night and the next day. Immediately that I got back to Philadelphia, I told William A. Brady, my manager, of my wonderful good fortune, and at once wired John l.. that I would accept his challenge in it's entirety. The news was flashed around the country, creating something of a sensation-and mighty big laugh. The thought of youngster nearly 40
 pounds lighter than John L. trying con- clusions with him appealed to the sport inG public as a huge joke. I wasn't con- ceded even the ghost of a chance. l had been fighting professionally less than two years; John l.. was the unbeaten veteran of nearly 200 battles Yes. it
 did look-4to the world at large-that it
 was going to be "easy picking for the champ. But I had my own ideas about the affair-ideas radically different from the rest of the world.

I1 the Realm of Sports Hits and Misses Cleaned From Happenings of Interest
 Stove League Fans

Bob West, the genial secretary of the local club, was recounting some of the weird happenings in baseball the other day, when he pulled this one with a straight face, too. Down in the Cotton States one season Gene Demontreville was up against it for ball players, espe- cially was he needing first baseman. Gene, who was manager of the Hatties- burg club, went down to New Orleans to look over the field The first appli- cant for a job was a tall, husky fellow
 was the best in the world at the initial sack.
 Before meeting the demands of Hal
 Chase the second, Gene wired this mes sage to the league president: If a peg leg first baseman touches first with his wooden leg, is the batter out? Please give immediate ruling?" Here was the answer sent by the league boss: You and your player are both kicked out of , the league"
 Down in New Orleans Johnny Dobbs is getting an early start on the other managers in training lis squad The Pelican pilot is trying out two local products in Rezza and Miller pitcher and an infielder. Dobbs has very formidable twirling staff to start with consisting of Johnson, Robertson, Bai- ley, Miller, Smith and one or two others Ed Miller, who broke his leg last year is back fighting Red Bluhm for the first sack assignment. Bluhm will probably play short or third with Rezza holding down one of these positions. Cotton Knaupp the old reliable, will again look

 lnored around the campus that Mat lneWson's Reds were seeking a practice same with Auburn. but from the looks VI thihss' little has been heard of such game In official circles. Such a game would certainly show Coach Donahua what Kind of team he has to deal with thls year For this reason, such a game would be welcomed by the student body.

 Pitchers Uncertain

Auburn. March 17.-(Special)-The Au- burn ball tossers have been putting in some hard licks this week and things are beginning to shape themselves, al though the task before Mike Donahue is still a hard one. The squad has been divided up into two teams and in snls way Coach Donahue hopes to get line on his new material. With only two let ter men back, the task before the wiry little Irishman is by no means small and if he succeeds in building strong team around these two men, no small praise should be his.
 The pitching staff is still in the dark Quite number of promising freshmen are out among the boys whom are Page, Olinger and Johnson. However, such men as Johnnie Suggs and Milligan ire going to be hard to replace Motion, boy who has returned to college this year after one year out, is howing up good, as is Bridges. In a practice game this evening between the scrubs and the var sity, Bridges was able to mow them down with precision. With Duke Ducete behind the bat, and Anderson, new man, helping him out. the catching po- sition should be ably held down. Ducote has a good arm besides his hitting abil- ity.
 Coach Donahue was at loss to find a good first baseman this year, so he finally placed old Pete Bonner on the initial sack, and Pete looks like per manency on that bag. He is snaggins them all around, and although Auburn will miss Ivey Griffin, Pete is reliable besides being a 300 hitter.
 On second and short, two new men are cavorting. Fughum. solid built lad, Is showing a good deal of stuff as is Scott at short. Both are fast lads and fairly good hitters. At any time they may find their positions gone as Dowell and Sims on the scrubs are good men.
 On third, Sammie Barnes is fixture. The youth has had a good deal of ex- perience in fast prep school teams and certainly shows his worth On the scrubs Dick Neihardt is a good per former and may at any time beat some infield man out of his job.

FRAZEE MAKES
A WILD WAGER
Red Sox Owner Bets War
Will Be Over Before
Next Spring.

Harry Frazee, owner of the Red
Sox, is an optimist- Frazee has
wagered $1,000 on the proposition
that the war will end before the
baseball season opens, and he is
willing to bet some more that he
will win that bet. With IL Red
Sox, Jack Barry, the manager.
among them, enlisted, Boston is
anxious to know where il stands in
the American League, but Frazee
tells the fans to hold their horses
and mark time. He says he knows
that Barry will be free to lead the
club again, but will appoint a tenn
porary manager some time next
month.
Report has it that Billy Murray,
the veteran, who once managed
the Phillies and was connected with
the Newark Federals. will be Fra
Zee's choice, but such an appoint
ment is not likely. Murray is Fra
zee's teacher in baseball matters,
and a mighty successful one, too,
but we doubt if Billy the Yarn
Spinner wants to go back to active
management of a ball club. If Dick
service he is the leading candidate
for the job.
Should the war continue through
the baseball season Frazee does not
hope to get his enlisted players
furloughs. Most of them are in the
naval reserve force. The Boston
National League club already has
made known its stand in such mat

JACK DEMPSEY Is
AFTER FRED FULTON

Jack kearns. the boy promoter
from the Pacific Coast. has been call
ing our attention from time to time
to his youthful heavyweight title as
pirant. Jack Dempsey.
Dempsey has been pronounced by
some Of the best-posteu boxing critics
on the Pacific. Coast as the logical
successor to KetcheIl. Corbett and
Fttzsimmons- He Is said to be an ex-
ceptionally clever boxer for a big
fellow and Kearns wants to tell the
world fair that his protege possesses
q punch that no opponent can stand
up under for long.
Incidentally. Kearns rises to de-
nounce the claims of Fred Fulton as
the logical successor to Jess willard
Dempsey has beaten Gunner Smith
and Carl Morris. Morris, according
to Kearns, has admitted that the
submarine Destroyer Is the most
wonderful fighter he has ever met. So
Dempsey must have something more
than the average run of would-be
champions.
