' FULTON AND MORAN { Ike Dorgan ‘Accepts Offer’For Twen- ty Round Battle in New Orleans, January 28—Frank dn Training. New York, De 31.—Frank Moran and Fred Fllltor’ last night were matched to fight twenty rounds to a { declsion 'at New |Orleans on Monday, January 28. Ike Dorgan, acting for Moran, announced that he had come to’ terms with Dominick Tortorich of the Tulane Athletic .club in the Cres- | cent City and that he had wired { Moran to begin training immediately. Moran is boxing instructor at Camp Spartanburg, 8. C.,, and Dorgan said that Moran would work at the camp until the week be- | fore the fight. Tortorich debated some time as to whether he would of- fer Moran or Carl Morris the chance against Fulton, and finally decided in favor of the Pittsburg heavyweight. Moran has not fought much since his bout with Willard. His last en- gagement was a_ ten round affair with Gunboat Smith in Brooklyn some ecight months ago and ‘after being outpointed by the Gunner Moran went into retirement. He will have to show a lot more than he did against Smith to be accorded any kind of a chance against Fulton, who is not very ag- | | gressive but the cléveret heavyweight in this country. Before meeting Mor- an Fulton will take on Harry Tate once more®at Joplin, Mo., on Janu- | ary 10. v | RELEASE FOR REULBACH. | Boston, Dec, 31.—Pitcher Ed Reul- | bach of the Boston National baseball fteam was Saturday given his uncon- | ditional release.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 31.—Al Ma- maux will wear a Red uniform next season if Christy Mathewson, man- aged of the Reds, has his way about it. Matty said today that he would like to have him and will bid high for him. New York also is after him, and the chances are that McGraw will route.

And the not persuade Dreyfuss te part with him. The Red leader will attend the next National league meeting and Matty <~vs he can correct Mamaux’'s one pitching fault, that of putting every- thing into earlier innings and saving fothing for reserve, with the result that he usually is belted all around about the seventh inning. Matty also declared himself strong- 1y for the retention of Sherwood Ma- gee on the Red roster. ‘“As near as I can figure out,” -said Mathewson, ‘“Magee hit .324 during the time he was with the Cincinnati club. Any ™~n who can rap them that way is too valuable to be dismissed. He can’t be slowing up to any great ex- tent when he can drive the ball for that sort of a percentage. “I was surprised to hear that Ma- @ee was to be let out, and will confer with Mr. Herrmann on the subject. Of course I realize that we must trim our sails and exercise economy ' next season, but I don’t think we pught to let go of Magee.” The Red leader smiled when asked if he would go back to the firing line next season, but did not deny that he might do so if it became absolutely necessary to help out a short-handed team.
