WILLARD MUST FIGHT :FULTON OR DEMPSEY | Or Lose All Public Respect—Is a Sel- fish Gold-greedy Sportsman?

Wiliard's declaration that he can got more’ money for boxing ten rounds in the east than he can for fizhting 100 rounds in the west and that he is not in the boxing game for his health dis€loses the selfish attitude of the man. Unless he quickly ehanges his manner Jess eventually will become the exact antithesis of John L. Sul- livan who was the most popular cham- bion in the history of pugilism. Jt would be an excellent idea for the promoters of the Fulton-Dempsey match which doubtless will take place in Milwaukee, to appoint three experts to judge the points, and if the bout goes the limit of ten rounds let the selection of the opponent for Willard hinge on the verdict of the judges. On the form ‘shown by both Fulton and Dempsey the bout should prove to be one of the most interesting in history., If Dempsey can defeat Ful- ton there is small question of the abil- ity of the Salt Lake boxer to at least outpoint Willard in tén rounds and thus foree the title holder to a longer bout for the championship.

America’s Shrewd Manufacturers Are Beginning to Apgreciate the Worth of the Shotgun Game as Recreation For Employe: By GEORGE W, PECK (The Original “Peck’'s Bad Boy.") Are we destined to become a na- j ton of trapshooterst § That truly American sport ‘is fast j assuming proportions which would seem to spell domination at no distant | day, when every other sport, Ameri- can or alien, will have to retire to a secondary place in the ranks of pop- ularity. 3 It is estimated that the Star-Span- gled Banner waves over upward of 500,000 active trapshooters,” the ma- Jjority of* whom regularly "face . the horizon “somewhere in America,” and by velling Pull! dare some hidden trapboy to shift an angle which they cannot connect with while the balance, equally as defiant, enthusiastic and destructive, gather at shouting clubs or enjoy the same exhilaration with portable hand traps as often as condi- tions, business and otherwise will permit.

Clubs Being Formed Everywhere. ‘Where oniy a few vears ago trap- shooting was a minor sport, with ac- tive clubs today few and far between we find it today on the crest of the wave, with new clubs being organized daily within city limits as municipal concessions, at yacht clubs and coun- try clubs, while the wonderful hadd traps ‘have carried the sport to the farm, the country home, the yacht, the tonneau of the flying automobile, the roor of the skyscrapper, the deck of the battleship, and even tc'the wings of the airplane. In fact, the possibilities for indulg- ing in the sport seem unlimited, and Young America, with Young-old ‘portunity to live up to oft-proven tradition that his country produces the best marksmen on earth. It is said that the United States dustries are turning their attention to trapshooting as a sport to be includ- ed in their schedule of pastimes which will make for the general betterment of employes and department heads alike. Great department stores, mail-order houses and manufacturing concerns have awakened to its importance, ana soon we will see trapshooting tourna- ments in full swing between employ- es of rival and competitive industrie: which in turn will mean a closer and friendlier commercial relationship.

While Dan has noth- ing particularly new to offer as to the prospects of the Eastern operating the coming season, he does think, the same | as everyone else, that the Internation- al organization is simply stalling. In President O'Neil’s opinion the International is as dead as’ it possibly could be‘'and that all there is left to be done to bring on the embalminz fluid. Had the league voted Monday dent O'Neil, “and they pursued a pol- icy which they haq a perfect right to pursue and probably the only legiti- mate one.” Thinking that the league . would vote to suspend operations, club own- ers and managers from the American association and other minors. were in attendance. They went to New York from far and near ready «o snap up eny and all players that they could get hold of. The action of the Inter- national moguls in postponing the fu- reral stepped on the plans of the|. eager buyers.
