MILL CTY. MAN DOWNED IN JIG TIME Lanky Plasterer Has No Show Befcre Speed of St. Paul Pugilist SEE BOXING Reported that Receipts of Ap- proximately $20,C00 Were ‘Taken in. J 7,500 MILL St. Paul, Aug. 26.—More «than; sons, a record outdoor crowd ! for Minnesota, paid. approximately $20,000, cording to figures made pubile today, to see Billy Miske, St. Paul heavyweight, stop Fred Ful- ton, Minneapolis, in less than three minutes of fighting here last night. Although outweighed by nearly 20 pouds, Miske literally swept the lan- ky plasterer off his feet and Fred failed to land anything like a good ! puneh, With the round less than half over, Fulton went down for 'the count of seven and as son as he arose, Mis- ke sent over a vicious left and the Minneapolis. man was counted out. Immediately after the bout the state boxing. commission held an im- promptu: meeting in Fulton’s dress- ing room and after consulting — the referee, decided that Fred really was knocked out and had not, as many fans intimated, “quit cold.” Miske’s manager already has pro- mises of several important bouts for the St. Paul battler, and negotiations will be started for a meeting with Jack Dempsey, world’s heavyweight champion. ‘An investigation by the State Box- ing Cdmmission reported under way today into an aftermath of the Mis- ke-Fulton bout here last night, in which Mike Collins, formerly mana- ger of Fulton was the center of a set-to featuring Fulton and his sec- onds. While Fulton sat somewhat dazed in his corner after Miske had knock- ed him out‘after two minutes of fighting in the first round, Collins leaped into the ring and crossing to Fulton made a remark that prompted Fulton’s brother and second, Whitey Fulton, to rush at Collins. Close on Whitey’s heels came Ful- ton himself, his lon arms swinging like flails as he attempted to beat down Collins. Referee Barton, ring- side fans and police subdued the miniature riot and escorted Fulton to his dressing rooms. Today the boxing commission was trying to decide what it was al about and if they had any rules that might be brought into play for punitive purposes, and if so, against whom should they be used. be used. BABE RUTH PREDICTS HIS OWN RECORD Home Run King~Prophesies that at End of 1922 He Will Lead in Hits Chieago, Aug. 26—Way back, when his home run total was expressed in only ‘a single figure—and when sus- pensions, fines, and bleacher hootings were more of a daily occurence than a four-base hit—Babe Ruth said the 1922 season would end with him the champion home tun hitter of the major leagues. Tn those days, back in ‘May;"Babe and Mrs, Ruth seemed! to be about the only people in the United States confident of Ruth's comeback. To- day, Ruth’s challenge to Ken Williams of’St. Louis, whose home run hitting at the start of the season was a sen- sation, and Tilly Walker of the “Athletics, has begun to sound lik. the real thing. Ruth, with the close of the seasoa a'liitle more than'n month away, n| twenty-six homers to his credit, Wi liams ty, and Walker thirty The Bambino smavied out four this week, while the best Williams could do was a pair.

Ty Cobb, pilot of the Tigers is trailing Sisler with 400, and Tris Speaker, leader of the Indians is next with .370. The re- markable slugging of Harry Heil- mann of Detroit the past week had placed him among the first four witn an ‘average of .353. The averages in clude Wednesday's contests, Hauser, Connie Mack’s first sacke: although he has played in only sever ty-five ames, made a wonderfui showing during the past week. From a position down about twentieth ir the list, Hauser boosted his average from .321 to .351 by making seven- teen hits in his last eight games.

Hornsby is batting .382, while Big- bee of Pittsburgh, his closest rival, is hitting 363. Grimes of Chicago is just a point behind Bigbee. Horust has bagged twenty-nine homers, with Williams of Philadelphia as his clos- est competitor with eighteen. “Hack” Miller of Chicago, who has shown a liking for left-hand pitching, batted his way int. fifth place in-the list of leaders by evyineeting savel, eight times in his last four. games.

Jack Dunn, Baltimore owner and ;|manager, has done something that only one man befure him ever did— he’s developed “a team ~that's too strong for the company it’s in. , The Orioles must be scrapped, but the seraping will bring Dunn a handsome profit. Against his own’ wishes, against the wishes of Baltimore fans and against the wishes of a lot of basc- ball men around the country, Dunn|!in baseball. is being forced to dismantle the ma- chine that.won. three straight pen- nants‘and at this moment of writing has.a lea dof more than 15 games in the race for the ofurth straight flag.

Dunn Must Sell, Now Jack Dunn has been told by the other club owners*in the Inter- national League that he must sell at least three of his stars this ‘fall. They threatened to put the draft back on the league if he refused. He submitted. For two: clubs nearly every big league club has bidden for the star Oriole players and Dunn laughed. The Giants offered $150,000 for three’ players — Bentiey, Joe Boley (and Jack Ogden. Dunn laughed some more. But now they’re for sale. Bentley and Boley—$100,000 each. Max Bishop—$75,000.
