FULTON'S LEFT LANDSK. 0.BLOW Cowler Aggressor Until Fifth, When Fulton Got in His Swing St. Louis, Mo,, Mar. 12.—Fred Ful- ton knocked out Tom Cowler of New York in the 4ifth round of a sheduled eight round bout here last night. Cowler up to the moment in the fifth round’ when Funlton landed squarely on hig jaw. with a left hook, had been the aggressor and in at least three of the rounds had the ad- vantage. In the first round Cowler caught Fulton squarely on the chin and the Minnesota :challehger was groggy. Cowler followed with a blow which closed’ Fulton's right eye, and ‘the round ended with honors for the ‘New Yorker. Fulton was still suffering from his punishment in. the second round but raltied and sent Cowler to| /,, the mat for the count of eight. The thinrd and fourth rounds were almost even with Cowlet favored ‘because of his aggressiveness. Fulton throughout the fight. played for Cowler's jaw and early in the fifth round he: swung a left hook that sent Cowler down, The: latter was up at the count’of eight but: was sent down again and was counted out. Fulton and Cowlet met on January 9, 1917, in New-York, the latter be- ing knocked-outiin. the first round. NEAR DROWNING AT VAELEY CITY Lad Goes Through Ice While Crossing.

TY BEG BY PAUL PURMAN Tyrus Raymond Cobb will Segin his fourteenth year as a major league ballplayer April. He is now in his thirty-first year. For many ye he has reigned supreme as the greatest player in baseball. For years he has been THE super-ballplayer. ‘He has had no serious rivals in his many fields of endeavor, Now and_ then some star has come along and chal- lenged him, but in the end Ty has al- ways emerged at the top. Even when Tris Speaker took the batting lead from him, he remained ahead in so many other lines that his supremacy was not questioned. But the time has come to seriously contemplate the day when Cobb can no longer outdistance all his team- mates. The super-star has not yet be- gun to fade but it has passed the mer- idian and must gradually grow dim- er. Will there be another super-ball- player to step into Cobbs shoes as the idol and wonder of all fans? * Before going into this let's analyze the qualities a supervallplayer must possess. He must be young. He must have baseball brains and be a lightning quick thinker. He must possess a great throwing arm and must be fast on his feet. He must have an accur- ate batting eye. But he. must have more than this. He must have the ambition to push himself ahead. He must have tho tenaciousness which will not admit de- feat in spite of odstacles, ‘He must have self-confidence enough to KNOW he is the greatest ballplayer in the world, without ‘being egotistical about | it. | There, is one young ballplayer | who has’ most of these require- ments and is rapidly developing the others. j George Sisler, pitcher, first } baseman, outfielder, baserunner, .350 batter, is the future super- ballplayer, IF he retains his ambi- tion and IF he can get more fire into his play, « Cobb is the most dangerous ase- {runner in ‘baseball, not because he is the speediest baserunned, but be- cause he. has the determination to JESS WILLARD TO ° steal bases.

FAMOUS TROPHY UP Lexington, Ky,, March 12.—E.

Although it was not stipu- lated that this race should be run at Pimlico, nevertheless Mr. Bradley has written the Maryland officials that he desires the vase shall be part of the Preakness attraction. MERMAIDS TO PULL OFF SOMETHING IN BIG DETROIT MEET Detroit, Mich., ‘March 12—One of women that has been-staged in the United States is to take place in De- troit on March 30. Miss Thelma Dar- by, the young flyer from Indianapolis, Olga Dorfner of Philadelphia and Claire Galligan of New York will meet in the tank of the Detroit Athletic club. Swimming experts have had many controversies as to the merits of this trio. Miss Darby flashed into promi- nence a few months ago, but not until recently when she began to defeat seasoned veterans, was she considered ready for “big league’y-contests. In the recent Central A. A. U. meet here, Miss Darby won four events and local swimmers are still talking about her performance, YU The eastern swimmers have achiev- ed international fame and it is be- lieved that D. A. C. tank records will fall when the three meet.

Detroit, Mich., ‘March 12.—The keen interest in which Detroiters have tak- en. in swimming this winter has de- veloped a number of speedy tank art- ists. Women ag well as men have been prominent in indoor meets but it is doubtful if any class of swimmers has shown as much improvement as a score or more of girls of less than 16 years of age. Detroit now has a nunrber of mer- maids of from 7 to 12 years who are preparing for competition.
