CHICAGO BOWLERS
WIN DOUBLES TITLE

Cincinnati, Ohio. March II. - H.
Steers and Fred Thoma. of Chicago,
won the two-man championship of
the American Bowling Congress tour
nament This became certain today
after the last men bowling in the
event had finished their games.
While the bowling was exception
ally good today, yet none of them
could overcome the leaders. A. Planer
and G. linden, OF Milwaukee. rolling
into sixth place with I.254. This team
topped all of those who bowled to-
day, but they were closely pursued
by G. Fritz and J. Mccormick, of
Toledo. who assumed seventh place
in the final standing with 1.24g. while
E. Dewey and ]. Blohme. of James,
town. N. Y. landed twelfth with 1,2l.
The Aquillas, OF st. Paul. were
returned the winners of the fve-man
team events when the last shift of
bowlers failed to overcome their to-
tai of 3.o22. made last week. The
Aquillas not only win the highest
donors in bowling circles. but draw
down first prize, amounting to $50.
The nearest approach to the leader
in many days occurred on the last
shift in individuals when F. Reich
man, of Milwaukee. bowled eS5 and
went into second place, seventeen
pins behind the winner, c. Styles,
OF Detroit.
Thus officially ended the American
Bowling Congress tournament, to-
night being devoted to a sweepstakes
roll-of by Cincinnati men.

FRED SHOULD
FIGHT DEMPSEY
Salt Lake City Boxer Has
Been Forging to Front
Lately.

Y ther II be held in New Or
leans, where they can go twenty
rounds to a decision, or in some
other place where bouts Of that du-
ration are permitted. or even IL the
mill is held in Milwaukee, and linn
tied to ten rounds, the next bout
in the ranks of those who are after
Jess willard's heavyweight title
must see Fred Fulton and Jack
Dempsey in the same ring.
There has been more or less talk.
since Fulton disposed so easily OF
Frank Moran at New Orleans last
week OF the Ferocious Freddy ig-
noring Dempsey and taking on VIII
lard in his next battle. Fulton. too.
is said to have intimated that
Dempsey will have to wait for a
bout with him until after q Will
lard Fulton meeting.
II seems doubtful whether Fulton
made such a statement. or that he
will stick to IL. in the fact of the
criticism that is bound to be made
of such an attitude on his part
Dempsey. on his record of the last
few months. is fully as well quali-
fled to face. the champion as Full
ton. He has done everything that
has been asked Of him, and done IL
in a most workmanlike manner. In
fact, IL is possible that the latest
of the heavies to create a sensation
by his consistent work in the ring,
has -.iven too flagrant a demonstra-
ton of the deadly punch he carries
in either hand to make either Full
ton or willard feel comfortable
Personally, we believe that Fulton
will defeat Dempsey. be the bout held
within the next few weeks, or post
poned for a year. 1t is a truly remark
able record, of knock-outs that the St
Paul giant has compiled in the last
year. Billy Miske is the only man
who has been able to stay ten rounds
with Fulton, those going down before
his terrific punches being Tom Cowler,
Charley Weinert, Carl Morris, Sam
Langford. Porky Flynn, Jack Moran.
Bob Devere. Gunboat Smith. Tom Nc
Mahon and Frank Moran.
Some of these men, while not ac-
tually knocked out, either fouled Full
ton to prevent such a contingency. or
else forced the referee to stop the
bouts to save them from the sleep
dose. Willard himself could have
done no more, nor did he ever set up
any such record. Until a few months
ago there would have been no other
logical opponent left for Fulton ex-
cept Willard, but now things are quite
different
Dempsey, only . years old and
never regarded seriously until the last
twelve months, has steadily forged
his way past all obstacles unkil he
stands today on the same step o. the
ladder that Fulton occupies Jack
showed up Carl Morris in q four-round
bout in Frisco. and did the same thing
to Gunboat Smith.
Shifting the scene of his activities
to the East. Dempsey fattened Homer
Smith and Jim Flynn. made Norris
quit in six rounds and beat K. o. Bill
Brenan into a state OF helpIessness in
the same period last week in Milwau-
kee. The new battler is said to have
developed wonderfully in point of skill
and punching power from the time
when he first came to New York, an
unknown, some two years ago.

ARMY ANDNAV
PLAN BASEBALL.
Commission Estimates from
$4,000 to 70, 900 Horse
hides Will Be Used.

Baseball will be played on an extern
sive scale in the army and navy train
ing CAMPS this year. There are more
than 100000 men under military train
ingan the country today, and the COM
missions on training camp activities of
the War and Navy Departments which
have the supervision of sports in the
army cantonments and naval stations
want every single one of these men
to play baseball And it is likely every
one will. for what average American
can resist the call OF the diamond?
This means that more baseball will be
played this summer than ever before.
The season is already under way in
most of the camps. The soldiers and
sailors waited for no official inaugu-
ration, and the snow had barely left
the ground before games were in prog
ress on camp athletic fields and pa
rade grounds. In fact, in places fav-
ored with a mild climate the men have
played throughout the winter.
Plans for the organization Of camp
teams and camp leagues are being for
mulated by DR.. Joseph A. Raycroft,
general director of athletics in the
camps, under the supervision OF the
training camp commission. Before an
other month passes the soldiers will
have their company, regimentel and
divisional teams. and these teams in
turn will form company and regimen
tai leagues. No divisional leagues are
contemplated because Of the scattered
locations of most of the cantonments,
but where travelling conditions permit
games will be arranged.
Similar plans for the naval stations
are being made by Walter Camp, who
Is general director of naval athletics.
Each station will have a representa-
tive team, which will be selected by
elimination. and will play out sched-
ules that are being drawn up with
amateur. professional and college
mines from adjacent cities. 1t is also
possible that the sailors may play
teams from nearby army camps and
engage in interstation contests, as the
stations are much nearer one anoth-
er than the army cantonmentS
1t is estimated that approximately
5000 balls will be used up Official

HERALD TEAM WINS
TWO OF THREE GAMES

The second match game between
bowling teams Of the Star and Herald
was won by the Star quintette after
being tied up on the total number of
pins. The Star team lead in the first
game by sixty-three pins but The
Herald boys came back in the sec
ond game and picked up thirty-five
pins and in the third game picked up
thirty-fiFe more pins which tied up
the total pins at !, As for each team.
In rolling on the tie the Star men
nosed out by the small margin Of four
pins as they spilled the naples for a
total OF forty-eight while The Herald
team fell four short with a total of
forty-four pins. This is the closets set
the two teams have rolled in their
matches.
Sutton had the high game for The
Herald team when in his third he
spilled the naples for lis pins. Bill
Byerley. of the Star team, had the
high game for his team when in the
first he rolled 129. Dave Mccarthy, of

JACK POWELL
TO COME BACK
Big Pitcher to Try Unique
Feat in ST. Louis
Camp. .

An unusual and interesting feature
of the spring training OF the St Louis
Americans Is focusing the attention
Of the fans upon Shreveport, La, for
there Jack Powell, fat and middle
aged, is attempting what, IL success
full, will prove one Of the most re-
markable come-backs in the history
OF baseball.
Powell. who twirled for the st.
Louis club during the teams first
year in the American League, and
who left major league baseball in 1872,
Is paying his own expenses during the
training season, SO confident Is he of
his ability to outdo Father Time.
Fielder Jones, manager of the st.
Louis Americans. while making no
promises to the veteran, has express
ed his willingness to permit Jack to
see what he can do in the business of
puzzling batters.
Although never a whirlwind as a
winning pitcher. Powell was rated as
a valuable mound man during the
years he served in fast company. He
was probably one of the best Of the
group of pitchers which relied for its
success upon the ability to make the
batter hit the ball into the air-easy
outs for flelders. His best major
league year probably was in 1903 when,
with Bill Dineen and the late Rube
Waddell. he kept the st. Louis Ameri-
cans in the pennant race until the
fag end of the season. During that
year Powell was the iron man OF the
team and repeatedly pitched on sue
cessive days in his attempt to keep
the team on top.
Late in the season Detroit and st.
Louis met in the crucial series OF the
year. Harry Howell shut out Detroit
In the first game. and in the second
Powell repeated. pitching what is con-
sidered the best game of his career.
The next day Waddeu was knocked out
Of the box and Powell relieved him.
The following day. playing a double
header. Powell again attempted to
bring victory to his club, but Ty Cobb
broke up a tight battle. and after that
St Louis had little chance for the
pennant.
After four more years in the Ameri-
can League, Powell. although still able
to fool the batters. could not last out
a game because Of weak legs. In 1913
he went to Louisville and then drifted
to Lincoln of the Western League.
Just how old the veteran is must be
guesswork. Powell, however, was a
veteran when Bill Dineen, Ed Walsh,
Nick Altrock. Bill Donovan. George
Mullin and other star twir1ers were in
their prime.
Powell is well aware Of the old say
ing, They never come back" but he
keeps jogging along Shreveport's roads
in an effort to take of some of his
220-odd pounds. Jack insists that he
can come back, land Fielder Jones.
while not optimistic. hopes he can.
