The colony reached its zenith in
January of last year. At that time a

pride to the growing opposition which
proved to be house of cards.

O ROuRKE NOT T|M|D

Manager of Fred Fulton Tells
British Heavyweights They
May Meet Minnesota Giant
ALI in Same Night.

Tom O'Rourke, former manager of
Tom Sharkey and of George Dixon, is
sponsor for Fred Fulton, the husky
mauler from Minnesota, who is now
battering his way to a competence In
England. And Tom is not tempering
his language in the attempt to collar
all the paying engagements possible.
His challenges are full-toned and out
spoken.
Very recently Fulton applied sleep
ing potion to Gordon Coghill Of AUS
tralia in the third round of 15-round
battle. IL was F'red's second X. q.
in London. Coghill was the only
heavyweight who had seen fit to tackle
him since his first. supplemented as II
was by O'Rourke's loud defy to all

No further dates looming. Thomas
stood at the ropes on the night of the
Coshill bout and issued ringing chal-
lenge to any and all wearers of the

posed that Fulton would fight every
first class heavyweight boxer in Great
Britain, bar none, especially not bar
ring Joe Beckett. the champion. Not
only that. but he proposed that Full

another. In the Same ring on the same
evening.
Next morning o'Rourke spluttered

prints. Unanimously the critics, in
their serene Anglo Saxon way, polite
ly accredited the Irishman as wise
and enthusiastic manager, but declared
that the proposition just enunciated

LUQuE TOLD TO Do
NO WINTER PITCHING
Cincinnati Club Forbids Cuban
Slab Artist to Use Old Wing
During Off Season-Com-
ment of Otto Floto.

Word comes from Havana that Mr.
Adolph Luque of that city has been
advised not to engage in any baseball
games played on the island this win
ter. Mr.. Luque Is the Cuban gentle
man who adorns Pat MoraIfs pitch
ing staff of the worlds champion base
ball team. Hence Patrick and his en-
ployers feel 1t expedient to keep Adolph
III good shape for next season. His
home is in Havana, and he has regu-
larly kept the wolf from the door in
winter by using his whip in local
games.
Now the Cincinnati club holds Luque
on contract only for the American
league season, and the question arises
Is Luque obligated to forego his win
ter job at the behest of the Reds? Or
do they slip him little something to
help out on meal tickets i'll return for
his compliance?
Concerning the general practice of
big league stars playing all winter
otto Floto hands down this learned
opinion:
1.-The ball player is the most grasp
ing of all individuals that follow sport
for a livelihood. He will play with
snow shoes attached to his feet and
earmuffs about his head il the old
round dollar but rolls his way. He
needs checking or there is no telling
to what lengths he might go. Still IL
the magnates wish to absolutely con-
troll the players movements during the
winter time so far as his playing stat
us is concerned, why not give him
yearly contract instead of one calling
for only six or seven months labor"
