DEMPSEY VS. FULTON
Heavyweight Champion and Niinnc- Sota Plnstcrcr May Clash in New
 ark, N. J., Ring Early in December

New York, oct 2S.--Followers of boxing will probably have an oppor- tunity to see Jack Dempsey, worlds heavVWcight champion, in action next month Negotiations for match in which the title holder will be a par ticipant carried on unostentatlously for the last several weeks, were brought to d head this afternoon at a meeting scheduled for the Claridgc Hotel, when Dave Maclay, Newark, N J., promoter, and Jack kearns, manager of Dempsey, got together for the purpose of discussing details of d match.
 Maciay, who promotes bouts at the First Regiment Armory, Newark, as the headquarters of the Newark Sportsmen's club, plans to conduct the prospective bout at his club on Dec. S. Who the Newark prom oter has selected as DempSeN's opponent is not definitely known, but it is un- dcrStOod Mackay is eager to arrange a return meeting between Dempsey and Fred Fulton, the Minnesota plas- tcrcr. who fell a victim to the Dcmp- scy punch when the Utah mauler was battling his way 10 a match, 1T ar ranged, will be for eight rounds, the limit permitted in New Jersey under the Hurley law.
 Dempsey, tired of the footliGhts and the show business, is eager to re- enter the ring and battle with any who questions his right to the title he took from Willard. The big Salt Lake c Citv lad abhors inactivity, or at least tho kind that carries with if no action for a fighting title holder. For this reason 1t is expected that match will be arranged this afternoon 1T the Inducements offered by Promoter MucknN are reasonably attractive.

 Daily Attacks Weekly.
 The Yale Daily News yesterday contained a. communication which treated a tremendous amount of campus excitement. The letter.
 written by Cadmus Gordon, varsity baseball right fielder, was a thrust at
 he policy of the Yale Alumni Weekly
 Pporting editors in condemning the
 playing of the Yale football team and
 he character of the coaching system.
 The Weekly has been decidedly Dhostii- to the football program, and,
 $ c lrdon said, seems to have re-
 umed 'its perennial policy of ablis- |ve destructive criticism in regard to University teams.' He cities quota
 ions to prove that the sporting pub
 ie has been led by the disloyal Yale
 Publication to assume a decidedly lln- favora ble impression Of the situation.
 Gordon wound up his communica-
 ion with the following:
 "Let the entire ldent body show
 hat 1t does not st I'd for 4 such #lttitu1e as that displayed by the Mum i Weekly, which has proved
 hat 1t will not support a loser under 7lny circumstances. The university has not lost it's faith in the ability of &he 1919 team to come through sue .fessfully under the system of Dr. 4Sharpe and his assistants, in whom i've have every reason to place the Utmost confidence, be the Alumni M Neekly's opinion what it may.'

LACK OF TEAM WORK
But from the outset the team wobbled.
instead of the perfect teamwork that has
always been feature of Red Sox play,
the Bostonians seem to strive for indivi-
uual honors. 1t became increasingly APP
parent that some of the players were not
at all Keen about assisting others in get
ting their names and pictures in the paper
as heroes. Some pitchers got support,
others didn't. Erratic baseball became
the rule. And lower and lower slumped

AT last Ed Barrow was moved to action,
which resulted in the trading of some of
the players and in the discplining of 9TH

will not put the sox back into the fight
The old fighting spirit of the remaining
players in gone SO far as 1919 is concern
ed. The tail end of first division is the
best the Red Sox can hope for.
If the law of baseball applies to the
Bostonians, as it has to other clubs that
reached greatness and then slipped away,
it will be many years before another Red
Sox outfit climbs to the absolute cres.
of the baseball world. The Pirates were
great, once. They skidded and never have
come back. The same is true of the
Tigers, the Athletics and, in a certain
sense, with the Cubs. 1t was years before
John McGraws Giants got into stride
again after the decay of 1906.
They've had their day. the Red Sox,
been great and gained glory. But now
comes others to take their places in the
sun of public acclaim.
