St. Paul, Minn., April 22.—The Min- nesota boxing commission, after a con- ference with Promoter J. C. Miller late today, voted umanimously to approve the proposed Willard-Fulton fight at St. Paul on July 4th. The. commission and Cnlo;.\qv%(fl:; agreement - whereby' and ‘Fulton will receive’ their share of the fight in Liberty bonds bought at par in the Twin Cities. ler ‘agreed to give 12 1-2 per cent. ‘of the gross receipts to the Red Cross or the government recreation fund and he also agreed to donate 35 per cent. of all money received from the fight pictures to the war recreation fund. In addition to these donations Col- onel Miller will pay 10 per cent. of the t have Phoenix|grnss fight receipts to the state tuber- culosis fund as required by law. There also is a government war tax of 10 per cent. on every ticket sold. Gross receipts of a capacity house were estimated at $150,000. If the pic- tures yielded similar returns, the war recreation fung would be $37,500 from the latter income, while the same fund, or the Red Cross, would receive $18,750 from the fight. state would get $15,000 in tax receipts and a like sum would go to the gov- ernment, in addition to the tax on the shiowing of the pictures. According to the tentative terms of agreement the title holder and his tow- cring challenger are to meet in a ten round _contest for the championship of ‘the world, the pre- mier titular honors of pugilism to go with the decision of the referee, in case both- boxers -are on their feet at the end of the thirty minutes of battling. ‘Whether ' Willard holds lightly the laurels so ably defended in the past by Teffries, Sullivan, other heroes of the ring, or has su- preme confidence in his abllity to suc- dessfully defend thessame under any and all, conditions, the fact remains that never in the history of heavy- .| weight pupilism has a titular bout been fought under such an agreement. In order that there might be no mis- understanding upon this point. Willard was asked if he agreed to stake his championship upon a referee's decis- jon in a ten round bout and in reply sald that he would like a longer bout thar the ten rounds scheduled with Fred Fulton to decide the world's championship. “However,” he continued, “the short route’ with a referee's decision may I would prefer twenty, although I am confident I can retain the title in any circumstances.” 1 the rendering of such a decision by a duly appointed referee, the contest will ciffer from any titular glove battle between big men of the ring’'so far as | rvugilistic history shows." night that Jim Corbett knocked out John L. Sullivan in twenty-ene rounds at New Orleans on September 7, 1892, there have been sixteen battles for the heavyweight championship. These contests have ranged from twenty to forty-five rounds with a de- cision in case a knockout did not ter- minate the battle before the final bell. In but five of these did the victor drive home the winning blow in less than ten rounds and the average for the full seventeen battles was 13 10-17 rounds. ‘Willard, himself, holds the record for it took him 26 rounds to stop Jack Johnson, Sharkey 25-round battle a close sec- At Middletown, Conp.—Weslean vs. Bowdoln. vs. Stonington High School. at Ston- STANDINGS OF THE CLUBS. ‘ISAAC S.

He drew seven- ty-five bases on balls. Heinie Groh of the Reds stood second with seven- port baseball club. Waller died about three years ago from tuberculosis. Dennis Murphy of Taftville, former member of the Lawrence Eastern League club, is now catching for the Newport Naval Reserves. He played basketball during the winter with the Fairhaven Naval Reserve team but was transferred to Newport a few weeks ago. Larry Doyle’s big bat is getting re- sults just now. The popular second baseman received a royal welcome ‘when he first showed with the Giants. Fred Luderus, the Phillies’ clever first baseman, is on the job as usual. doing his best to help Pat Moran. Luderus is one of the players who never make trouble for their em- ployers. Bob Harmon, who has returned to the Pirates after spending last year on his Louisiana plantation, pitched great ball in 1916, but became dis- gusted when the Pirates dropped into the cellar. Branch Rickey says he will sup- plant the Cardinal holdouts with youngsters, He also, states that he does not intend to be held up by star ball players and will not sell Hornsby uan- der any conditions: The Memphis club of the Southern Association has two gigantic pitchers. One is Bill Thweatt, who is ¢ feet 6 inches tall and weighs 215 pounds, while the other is Ed Wilson, 6 feet 2 inches in height, who tips the beam at 205. Charles Street, battery partner of ‘Walter Johnson and for many years and later a catcher with the Yankees, has given up baseball to go into the army. He is now Sergeant Street of Company D, Thirtieth United States Engmeers. -« They. say Tom Sharkey is now an armed- guard at a-New Jersey muni- tion. plant. Tom works six days a week, carries a rifle, wears a uniform and is- called Lieutenant Sharkey. The reason is that the former ring star is broke. Since that day in 1%¥8 when Sharkey, the unknown sailor lad, fought four rounds with Jack Gardner he has had a wonderful experience. Gunboat Smith will quit the boxing game. The crack Californian, who has made Brooklyn his home, announced in the big town that he intends quitting the game for good after this month. Smith has not been meeting with the best sort of luck and his friends be- lieve that this is the cause for his de- cision to quit the game for all time. The recent trip to the coast was a dis- astrous one for the Gunner. Manager Fred Mitchell of the Chi- cago Cubs says he will have no pea- nut parties on his bench. Mitchell's description of a peanut party is a bunch of players gathering at one end of the bench and munching goobers while a game is on, paying no attention to what is doing on the field. Such indifference, says Mitchel, stamps a player as worthless and the first time he catches any of his men in such a “party” it will cost them the price of a thousand bags of peanuts. With the Giants's manifest superior- ity in National such that they sheald again qualify for the world's series, equally so is the present strength of the White Sox manifest in the race of the American league. With the lone exception of the Red Sox, there is no club in Ban Johnson's organization that has a possible chance, judging on dope and statistics, to beat last year’s world champions to the wire. Of all the clubs in the American league, the wonderful machine Comiskey built up with years of careful selection and purchase of stars is practically intact, no club in the organization suffering from the army draft. “Hey, Heinie, how’s Collins?™ shrieked one soldier lad at Heinie Zim during the Camp Kelly}game with the Giants. There was a laugh. ‘Pin yer ears back, Zimmerman, so we can see the bone better.” On the Polo grounds Zim would have turned around and delivered a few choice re- marks in rebuttal. But on Kelly Field he just laughed and bounced his bat a bit grimly on the plate. This bat- bounding should have been a warning to friend pitcher. When Zim bounces his bat look out for squalls. The sol- dier twirler didn’t know much about him. And, besides, he had slipped over two strikes on Heinie. Baltimore although _fallen to the level of a minor league town, is a city of historic interest and deep fascina- tion to the student of baseball history. Good ball clubs have been numer- ous at Baltimore, and the diet of oysters and terrapin to say nothing of Baltimore rye, seems to have made the players hailing from that town always fast, gingery and scrappy. Un- der thc guiding hand of Hanlon, great- est of all the Baltimore teams, was the one which won the National ~League pennants in 1894, 1895 and 1896. This club was not only the greatest ever seen in Baltimore uniform, but one of the grandest in the records of the game. Ned Hanlon picked and drilled the men, and had the fortune to assem- ble good batsmen and fast base run- ners, who were also of the scrappiest and most waspish temper on the fleld.
