Baseball Officials of Puritan States Circuit May Be Haled Into Court to Answer Bill in Equity. The Eastern league may be haled into court within a few days to an- swer to a bill in equity on behalf- of creditors of Joseph P. Sullivan, who operated the Lawrence baseball fran- c up to Aug. 1 last summer. At- torney John C. Toomey is counsel for certain creditors who have demanded @ ehow-down, and Attorney Toomey says he is planning the above move. The principal item in the account is for repair work dope on the fence and grandstand just before the opening of the seaSon. ~ When Jack O'Hara came here as manager in August Attorney Topmey made an attempt to collect the biil from him, but the attorney claims Mr. O'Hara informed him he had a clear bill of sale and was there- fore not responsible for any debts con- tracted previous to his coming. Attorney Toomey further claims he has a letter from President Daniel AT PITTSBURGH O'Neil of the Eastern league stating that the club had been sold. Later it developed that the franchise was not sold, but was being run by the league gue Schedule, 1917 AT CINCINNATI AT CHICAGO and that O'Hara was manager under salary here. In the bill in equity the petitioners will, it is understood, ask for a thor: ough investigation by the court of af- fairs in connection with the Lawrence club last season, and if the evidence warrants will pray for judgment against the league as a whole. SPORTING NOTES. Les Darcy clalms after seeing Fred Fulton muss of Charley Weinert so quickly in their ten-round no-decision bout over in New York that he would rather tackle Jess Willard for the heavyweight title than Fulton. Darcy thinks that big Jess is too £0od na- tured to give a contender a real beat- ing, while Fulton has no sympathy at all 'in his makeup. Whatever doubt ever existed as to the right of Fred Fulton being class enough to meet Jess Willard for the world’s heavyweight crown has now been dispelled. The big plastering champion has done everything that the critics have asked him to do. What is more, his quick defeat of Charley Weinert has stamped nim as naving every chance in the world to beat tne cowboy champion, Frank Cavanaugh was to Dartmouth football what Percy Haughton was to Harvard. He perfected the well known Dartmouth football shift which piayed almost as fmportant a part in the col- lege gridiron as the Haughton system for the Cambridge team. His sudden resignation from Hanover footbail cir- cles was in the air for some_time, but it was hardly expected that Cavanaugh would be lost with another season yet to run on his contract. New Britain, Conn., Feb. 13.—Luman C. Beckett, a private in the Sth Liver- pool King’s infantry, home on a fur- lough, sald tonight that before he left Verdun the “wireless of the trenches’ had brought news of the death of eGorges Carpentier. The pugilist had been killed three weeks ago by shrap- nel, said Beckett, who added that the “trench wireless” was reliable that the censor doubtless would not let news of carpentier's death become known. Beckett ran away from his home two vears ago to enlfst. He is vears old. THE WORLD’S CHAMPIONS. “Who are the world’s champions in the various fistic divisions?” demand. a correspondent, to which we make re. Ply to the best of our feeble ability as_follows, to wit: Flyweight, Jimmy Wilde of England. Bantamweight, Johnn Ertle of St. Paul. Featherweight, Johnny Cleveland. Lightweight, Freddy Welsh of Wales. Welterweight, Jack Britton of Chi- cago. Middleweight, Al McCoy of Brooklyn. Light heavyweight, Battling Levi sky of Bridgeport Heavyweight, Jess Willard of Kan- sas. Maybe we are open to correction on the proposition that these are the world’s champions, but at ail events they are the only world’s champions we know of.

Of course we have never seen Jimmy Wilde, who must be a very wonderfui little fellow, judging from all accounts, but of the title holders who have appeared in America, Kilbane stands out far ahead.
