RING HISTORY NEVER HAS SEEN MATCHING OF § New York, March 19.—The possibili- ty that Jess Willard and Fed Fulton may mect in the ring during the pre- sent year, in a battle for the world's heavyweight championship, calls at tention anew to these extraordinary exponents of modern pugilism. Big men have by no means uncommon in the ring during past decades but nev- er in the history of fist-cuffs have two, boxers of the height and reach of Wil- Jard and Fulton faced in the squared circlue. The present titleholder is the big- gest man who ever won prominence through his ability to outpunch an opponent but, in this respect, he has very little advantage over his pros- pective competitor. In the matter of height Willard is just about one inch! taller than the former plasterer who} hails from Rochester, Minn. Previous to the advent of these Goliaths Jim Jeffries, standing 6 feet, 11-2 inches, Was the tallest man who ever held the heavyweight championship. Jim Corbett ‘and-Jack Johnson both grew into the six-foot or better class while twovof the greatest heavies the prize} ring ever knew—fitzsimmons and John 1. Sullivaa—were under six feet in height. Not In Height Alone It is not alone in height that Fulton and Wilard stand apart when compar- ed with the former champions in this class. They are also heavies and have Jonger reaches and in all prob- ability in the heat of action pack a more crushing blow, although ‘this is purely a matter of opinion because there is no way of comparing their punching power with that of fhose| who have gone before. Willard in his battle with Johnson : at Havana, in 1915, entered ‘the ring weighing about 240 pounds. Fulton has given his normal fighting weight! at about 225 pounds. If the pair meet for the championship it is likely that the titleholder will not rain much be- low 250 pounds, while his challenger will carry more than the sual amount’ of flesh, in view of the long battle that is generally predicted before a winner is evolved from the. flying fists of the NEW YORK CHAMPS WHO.

MAGNATES WAIT TO HEAR FATE International Meeting Next Mon- day Expected to Result in “Important Decision New York, March 19.—Minor league magnates are waiting with unusual interest the outcome of the meeting of the International League, schedul- ed to be held in this city on Monday, March 35, ‘Ihe conference will be the second siice the annual meeting of the league was adjourned late in Dec- ember. It is expected that at the coming session the clu) owners will decide delinitely whether the organiz- ation will continue ils circuit during the season of 1918 or abandon play for the duration of the war. ' Such evidence as is available in advagce would appear to indicate that the league will operate this summer. Several of the club owners have clearly intimated that they are oppos- ed to a continuation of play under the present unsettled conditions, incident- al to the war, Others stand ready to back baseball for another season at least, but just which side will hold the majority vote cannot be stated ‘be- fore the day of the mecting. If it is decided to discontinue the schedule there is a bare possibility that-one or jMore of the clubs will form a new: league by joining hands with other seasons been a part ‘of lower classifi- cation circuits. A decision on the part of the Inter- national League to drop out would be a severe blow to organized baseball for the association is one of the pi- oneers among the minor leagues and a steady and important factor in the :de- velopment of the game and of play- ers for major league. circuits. The j league was organized in 1892 and con- tinued without a break until the close of the 1917 season. ‘During the in- jitial year a two-season schedule was played but since 1893 ° the ‘pennant race has been along the lines: of the majors. Providence with six championship pennants to its credit leads all‘the cities, which’ have at. various times held membership in the organization. Rochester comes next with’ five ‘and Buffalo and Toronto are tied with four each while Binghampton, Erie, syracuse, Springfield; Montreal, Jer- sey City, Baltimore and Newark have each captured one titular flag. The outcome of the conference's likely to have a distinct bearing upon the decision of other minor leagues in relation totheir plans for the com- ing season. Several of these organiz- ations are in rather an. uncertain frame of mind regarding the financial outlook for baseball’ on the smalter circuits during 1918 and are likely to be swayed, to some extent; by the ex- ample.set by.the International League club owners. Upto the present time Jess than half-of the leagues which ; began the 1917 season have prepared and promulgated their schedules for 1918, t Even under the most favorable con- ditions. it is not expected that there wilt be the same’number of organiz- tions operating as was. the case twelve months ago. Phe records show that some twenty-three leagues open- ed the season a year ago and that, about ‘seventy-five per cent played ¢! through the season or the major por- ion of the same. In 1916 twenty- four leagues were in. operation -and the: year previous the number was five more while in 1914 the lists show more than forty leagues in the various classifications throughout the country. OLD DES MOINES MEN TO RETURN enveney Des Moines, Ja: Mar. 19.—Thomas Fairweather, owner. af the Des ‘Moines club of the Western league, has mail- ed contracts to ten members of last year's team, and it .is.expected they will be ready to report about April 1, Those who received contracts were Manager Jack Coffey, ‘Shanley, Hartford, Hunter, Murphy, : Moeller, Lreem, Spahr, Dressen and Ewoldt. ¢) iy Ewoldt, star first baseman last year®-g) will not be with the team as he is § in the National army at Camp Dodge, but Fairweather will keep him on the pay roll at $50 a month, “because ho is a good ball player and because he did so much to help us win the pen- nant last year,” as Fairweather ex- plains it. Manager Coffey is expected in Des Moines soon but he will devote some time to helping Capt. John L. Griffith, athletic. director. at Camp Dodge, in g getting ball clubs started at the can- tonment. Fairweather has : arranged for three exhibition games in April with the Minneapolis team of the American association.
