Scotch-Wop Just Shades Phil Bloom After Fast Battle. New York, Dec. 3.—A speedy rally and a succession of telling body blows in the tenth round of their ring con- test last night at;the Pioneer Sport- ing club gave ' Johnny Dundee a “‘shade” over Phil Bloom of Brooklyn. The contest wds practically a rep- etition” of their former bout at Brooklyn club ten. days ago, only the margin -of Dundee’s superiority was not quite so pronounced as at the meeting of the pair. The ‘“‘fans’ itnessed a fast, clever contest with lots of action. Tt was one of the best battles between ligheweights this season and brought out all the best the boxers could produce. Dundee’s baffling style of boxing kept the Brooklynite busy guessing his opponent’s next move, and and as the claimant for lightweight hon- ors assumed his crouch. Bloom set himself to receive the full force of Dundee’s blows. Bloom showed {im- proved form over his previous en- counters with Dundee, and during the early stages of the contest experienc- He jabbed Dundee with a stinging straight left which straightened up the receiver of the blow and occa- slonally varied his tactics by swing- ing his right. MONEY IS PLENTIFUL, South $32 New Orleans, Dec. 8.—Jess Willard will box Fred Fulton of Rochester, Minn,, in a twenty-round bout here March 4 for the heavyweight cham- pionship of the world, according to an announcement last night by promot- ers of the match. Willard signed articles here several weeks ago to meet any white fighter the promotors might name by Dec. 10. Efforts were made to arrange an elimination bout between Fulton and Frank Moran of Pittsburg, but, ac- cording to the promtores, Moran re- fused to hox the Minnesota pugilist, and was notified that if he did not agree hy Dec. 1 to do so the match would be given to Fulton. Fulton previously had signed articles' to box ‘Willard in the event Moran refused the elimination bout. Willard’s contract calls for $32,500 win, lose or draw. ‘Terms arranged with Fulton were not announced.

Chicago, as noted on his entry blank. The board sustained a previous ruling by the district championship committee, which was takéen before the National A. A. U. and referred again to the central. The board of managers ruled that Richards must give back the medals he won in the July meet, when, competing for the Illinois Athletic club, he took first place in the fifty-six-pound weight event, second in the high jump, and third in the discus and javelin throws. Richards is now a student at Cornell university, count were Jack Morgan, Jack Lewis, Tom Logan, Arthur Pelkey, and An- dre Anderson. Sporting men pointed out last night that physically Fulton compares fa- vorably with the champion. His fight- ing weight is about 220 pounds against Willard's 240. ‘Although Wil- lard’s height of six feet two inches is greater by two inches than that of Fulton, the Rochester fighter's reach of 841 inches is longer by one inch and a half than that of the Kansan and is said to be the greatest of any of the present crop of boxers. indoor ! a | ed little difficulty in holding his own. | The Suspense Incarnatc. !

New .York, Dec. 3.—Captain Hus- ton yesterday said that there was no truth in the report that the Yanke would continue to play indefinitely at the Polo Grounds. He emphasiz ed the fact that it was the intention of the Yankees to build a ball park of their own, and that they were not influenced by any action which the Federal league might take in this city. The Yankees, he said, would not oppose the Federal league plans or be influenced in any degree by them. Huston had just returned ; from Wilmington, Del., where, with Bill Donovan, he had a conference with Home Run Baker of the Ath- letics. The fact that there was a con- ference th Baker led to a rumor that some arrangement had been made whereby Baker would join the Yankees next season.

In the story on the meeting of thg | alumni several nights ago, it was re- | ported that the nanie of Senator George W. Klett, was mentioned as president of the proposed cowncil. A Herald man talked with the senator Thursday afternoon, and in the dis- cussion that followed, the senator ap- peared like “Barkis, willin.” Sena- tor Klett spoke of the fine prospects there appeared to be at present fer the building of a permanent home for | future athletic teams. The senator said that he felt that a suitable par- cel of land could be purchased at a reasonable sum, and for a time con- ducted so that a fine revenue would be obtained thereby aiding the organ- ization to build a suitable grandstand and other necessities to the field. Sen- ater Klett favors the estabfishing of a half mile track, inside which would be laid out a baseball dia- mond in the summer and in the fall this could be converted into a foot- ball gridiron. The field could be | rented to outside parties, which would mean that a neat sum would be de- rived annually, which could be paic! off on the mortgage. . Asked by the reporter if he would accept the place as president, Senator Klett said, “Well T was somewhat surprised. to hear of my name being mentioned, but you can say, that I will do all in my power to assist in thg project, if it is taken up." There is probably no more better fitted man for the place than Serfator Klett. Always evidencing a keen in- terest in' athletics at the school, he is also an ardent baseball rooter. Dur- ing his school days he was a mem- ber of the football, baseball and the track teams. On the latter he star- red as a half mile runner, his mem- orable victory over Hine the speedy runner of the Hillside High school which was a rival of the local schgol in the '90’s, is still remembered by many of the graduates to (4> prese\: time. In speaking of the proposed bazar of the alumni, Senator Kistt was heartily in accord with the p- g ‘ct, but thought that the affair should be given in a public building, and in ghis manner encourage the public to attend. It is said that business’ men have offered to start a fund for the projecy several announcing that they would contribute sums of $100.and over. | SHUMWAY TO LEAD BOWDOIN.
