FULLER NEARS
TITLE BOUT

BOSTON, Dec. % GN.S0.
Slugging Sammy Fuller, of Bos'
toms North End, was step nearer
a title bout with Lightweight
Champion Barney Ross today,
after gaining the unanimous de-
cision over Bossy Pacho. Pacific
Coast battler, in 10-round bout.
Fuller took six rounds. Near
the end of the tenth frame, Fuller
dropped Pacho to one knee for a
second with a sharp left. 1t was
the nearest approach to knock
down during the bout.
Buddy Baer, kid brother of
Champion Max, upheld the Baer
Surrette, of Leominster, in the
first frame of their scheduled six

est possible deal is proved
beyond question by the be-
lated report of the race COM
mittee.
Things Went Wrong
Yet things went wrong. BY
the committees own report
they made an agreement about
protests with Commodore Van
derbilt about which Mr.. Sop
with apparently knew nothing.
But the EngliShman was
racing, too. Sometimes it is
better to sit down and explain
matters to a chap face to face
than to wait three months and
then send him a written report.
There is such a thing as stand
ing too much on dignity.
I do not, Of course, refer to
the MeSsrs. Edmund Lang, E.
Vail Stebbins and Mackenzie,
or the New York Yacht Club,
when I say that the people I
have noticed in this world stand
ing most on their dignity had
little else on which to stand.
And I believe, too, that much
of the misunderstanding that
cropped up in the late and un'
lamented yacht race might have
been avoided if all hands had
been piped on deck at the out
set, to discuss the situation over
a cold American cocktail, or
hot dish of British tea.
At any rate, be sure and come
home in 1886, Uncle Tom, all Is
forgiven-we hope.
First Mate of Grew
Old DR.. William Macbeth,
that dour Scotsman of the turf,
and your ever bobbing and Weav-
ing correspondent were down at
the big shed of the Pennsyl-
vania terminal yesterday to bid
hail and farewell to the last of
the three musketeerS Of Bel
mont Park.
A. c. Brother Bostwick
was taking his world-touring
colt, Mate, to Santa Anita to
renew his five-year rivalry with
Equipoise and Twenty Grand.
Of this now, almost legendary
trio of the crop Of 1880, Mate
has been in some ways the most
remarkable.
He has raced from here to
EPSON and back again, and in
fact, was right off the boat, like
rare old Scotch of few years
back, when Brother" loaded
him onto the Broadway limited
and set forth again.
The big fellow had just begun
to get the feel of home at old
Westbury, and was undoubtedly
counting on an old-faShioned
Long Island Christmas, when
Bostwick whistled him to hand
and turned his head toward that
100000 Anita Handicap that
has the racing world by its ears.

BOXING SOLONS
To LIFT ROSS
CROWN
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Dec. % G.N.S0.
Mr.. Barney Ross, of the BouI

and even non compos mentis-by
the New York Boxing Commits.
sion.
To be brutally frank about the
matter, the august solons threat
en- to lift the lightweight crown
off Mr.. Ross noble brow and
give it as a Christmas gift to
some deserving Tammany Demo"
crat. If there is no such animal
as D. T. D., the commission
may even hook the crown.
However, it may be that Mr..
Ross is aware of the commits
sion's evil intentions toward him
and doesn't care a-well, you
say it-in which case Mr.. Ross
and the rest of the world are
as one.
But, hold, there is one out for
the champ. If he'll be a good boy
and agree to fight Lew AmberS
by January II all will be forgiven
and he will be entitled to park his
dogs under the commissions table.
And who, says you, is Lou Am"
bers? Well, if we must break right
down and confess, Mr.. Ambers Is
pretty fair preliminary boy who
has been licked four times in the
last year but who. nevertheless,
has been promoted to the No. !
contender spot.
And who promoted him? Why,
Mr.. Ambers and the New York
Boxing Commission!
Some Mix-up!
And what, you insist, has become

and truth demands that we tell
you they have been read right out

Mr.. Fuller because he Int in con-
dition and Mr.. Klick because he
too doesn't want to fight pre-"

nothing to rate shot with a first

Klick showed up with con-
tract to fight Ross for the lat"
ter's synthetic junior welterweight

Legion in Miami January 18. But

went through with it, they'd sus"
pend both him and Ross. mo"
body" said the commiSh, "can
fight Ross except Ambers. How.
ever, if Klick will agree to fight
Ambers, we'll let Ross right the
winner"
That left Klick in a sweet spot.
He can't break his contract unless
the Miami people let him and he
can't fight Ross unless he first
licks Ambers. Mr.. Klick retired
to think the matter over.

Indiana UniverSity's basketball
team came, saw and conquered
Maryland and George Washing

where it clashes with Temple in
the third game of its invasion Of

Last nights G. w. W.-Indiana game,
exciting from whistle to whistle,
witnessed the second victory in
two nights in this vicinity for the
visiting Hoosiers. The final count
was Indiana, As; G. W., Al. On
Thursday night Indiana won over
Maryland, 80 to Is.
The visiting Hoosiers last night
were forced to come from behind
to defeat a Colonel five somewhat
weakened because of the illness of
two stars. While 1000 wild eyed
fans alternately cheered and
groaned, the HoosierS and Colon
els offered a rare exhibition Of
basketball, considering the slippery
condition of the Roosevelt High
School floor.
G. w. Takes Lead
c.. w. took a 20 to II lead in
the first half, and until the mid
way mark of the final canto was
reached it appeared certain the
Colonials would exc out a win.
However, the visitors came with
a bang in the final minutes and
with deadly aim and beautiful
passing went into the van, and
protected their lead by superb de.
fensive tactics.
Walter Bakum, guard, and
Hal KieSel, center, each with a
slight touch of la grippe, or flu,
were not at their best for the
Colonials. Bakum, who arose
from a sick bed to play, was used
only at short intervals. Kiesel
played the greater part of the
game but was far off form.

their best G.. w. is a top quint.
Capt. Jim Howell, of G.. w.,

three free goals, for a total of

Sopwith, of the English chal-
lenger Endeavour, was wrong
all along.
But nobody will care much
now, not even T. o. M, who
forgot to smile when he told
us good.by last fall. The
doughty skipper Of the English
boat is reported to have mel
lowed considerably in the three
months that have intervened
since that evening in late Sep
tember, when we saw him and
his amateur crew chucking
things off the Endeavour onto
the yacht Vita in no amiable
frame of mind.
Indeed, Mr.. Sopwith is
said to have so far forgiven
and forgot that he is con-
templating a return try at "Ye
Olde Mug" in 1886. Apparently
Americas cup racing is like
eating olives and getting mar
ried off to blondes. After the
first three or four tries, a
fellow can't stop.
Had Better Yacht
Anyhow, we hope Mr.. Sop.
with not only comes back but
proves that he has the better
yacht. We also believe that
opinion is widespread and that
is what caused the diSsatiSfac.
ton in the minds of the public
over the outcome of the last
race. The majority felt that
the better boat was beaten. But
for that Mr.. Sopwith had only
himself and what is often called
typical British stubbornneSs to
blame.
He had a competent profes-
Sional crew that in all proba-
bility would have won the race
for him, and let it get away on
q minor matter Of principle in"
volving a few shillings a week.
After which he tried to muddle
through with a bunch of anna
teurS, who were willing enough,
but seemingly just didn't. In
short, he brought a crew of boys
on a mans errand. To hear
them tell it in a tap room, what
these young fellows didn't know
about yacht racing hadn't been
written in the books. But once
they got on the water, those pre-
cisely trained Swedes and Nor
wegianS of Commodore Mike"

I could tell, were exceeded only

Travel by Railroads

PARIS R.-France's cabinet minis

leaving their automobiles at home, as

iron horse
Competition between the rail and the
road has thrown Frances railroad sys-

the first call in what may turn into q
national movement, Premier CASTOR
Doumergue asked all members of his
cabinet to 60 by rail whenever pos

AS q result OF the war with road

amounting to 4,500000,000 francs
($300, 900, 900 at current exchange)
which the taxpayer will have to make
good.
The situation has become so serious
that the government stepped in and
ordered the railroad companies and the
motor truck owners to get together and
Coordinate their services. Negotia-
tions are now under way, but at pres
ent there seems little chance of the
railroad deficit being taken OF the pub

apparatus for receiving and displaying
the picture at the other end, called a
kinescope; and in between, the ap-
paratus for amplifying, broadcasting
and synchronizing, which we shall not
bother about.
The iconoscope looks very much like
motion picture camera. There is a
regular lens which can do everything
camera lens does. 1t focuses an
image on a plate exactly as an ordi-
nary camera does on a film But this
plate is made of very thin piece of
mica, by S inches, with a metal
backing; and on the surface of the
mica facing the lens there are several
hundred thousand tiny photo-electric
specks to the square inch, each one
separate frcm the next one. The
spots are light-sensitive, like the emul-
sion on Photographic film.
The plate with its tiny dots Is not
merely put in the camera like film.
1t is inclosed in the large end of a
sealed bottle or vacuum tube with a
big round bottom and long straight
neck, much like a laboratory flask.
In the neck of the bottle is cathode
ray gun, so called, and around the
