FULTON FINISHES FLYNN, © Minnesota Plasterer Knocks Out Bost ton Miller in Four Rounds. New York, July 6.—Fred Fulton, the Minnesota Giant, scored another last night, when he knocked Flynn of Boston the at the Clermont Sport- victory out Porky fourth round ing club. "The settling blow, a heavy right hander to the jaw, was delivered thir- ty seconds after the fourth round was started. I'lynn fell on his face in his own corner and was counted out. Flynn never had a chance and was a punching bag for the big plasterer. Fulton had Flynn on the floor in the first round, the Bostonian taking the count of nine. In the second ses- sion Flynn braced up and delivered several body blows that made Fulton wince. In the third round Fulton battered Flynn all over the ring, hitting him with short left hooks in the face and peppering him in the body with rights. Flynn was about done, for when he came up for the fourth and after Fulton had Jjabbed his man in the face several times with the left the Boston man became wabbly. Ful- ton then steadied himself and feining with the left for an opening syddenly shot the right to the jaw and Flynn hit the canvas. in JIM SCOTT TO EINLIST Chicago, July 6.—"Death Valley Jim" Scott, pitcher for the Chicago Americans has applied for a place in the officers’ reserve training camp at Leon Springs, Texas, it was made known here today.

Billy Dudack, who has been ing with the Pioneers since his re- turn from Muhlenberg Academy, will take the mound next Sunday after- noon against his mates, when the M B. Schenk team of Meriden, cham- play- BILL DUDACK. pions of the Silver city in 1916 will line up against the locals. The sight of watching Bill throwing 'em over against his mates, while strange, will be watched closely. The Meridenites were the sensation in the Industrial league of that city last scason, and did not taste defeat until they came to this city to meet the Pioneers. On that occasion, Dudack was assigned to the hurling task against Brown, the former New York State leaguer. The locals won the game which was a thriller, mainly through the clout- ing of Bill who rapped out two home runs and a three sack clout. In the visitors lineup will be found some of the fastest semi-players in Connecticut, Dunlop, formerly with New Britain in the old Connecticut league, Gilhooley, the Trinity captain in 1915, Gandette, of Colonial league fame, Corkins Hayes and several oth- ers. In looking around for a worthy opponent to give Dudack a battle, the Pioneer management has located a fast twirler, and have hopes of landing him for Supday’s game. This contest is one of the best that has been contained in the Ploneers sched- ule this season, and should attract a banner crowd. HENRIKSEN FREE AGENT., Boston, July 6.—Olaf Henriksen, pinch hitter and utility outfleider for the Boston Americans, was given his unconditional release yesterday. Henriksen objected to going to To- ledo, of the American Aassociation, where it had been planned to send him, and In view of his past services it was decided to make him a free agent.
