" DEGISION. FIGHT ON AGAIN With Appointment of Two New Box- ing Commissioners New York Expeots to Get Law Through. EVERYBODY IS AFTER WELSH By RINGSIDE, NEW YORK, Dec. 4=The agitation for Peterees’ declsions in New York bouts §s to be revived shortly. For a while It appeared as if the fire would be smoth- ered, as there was no one to feed fuel fo the conflagration after Fred Wenck, shairman of the State Athletic commis- slon, retraced his steps after coming ou in favor of permitting officital verdicts. The boom was in a mendicant state for several months. And it migut have dled & natural death from lack of-nourish- ment. But since Governor Whitman ap- pointed two new commissioners as a'des to Wenck, thus completing the commis- sion as originally intended, another agi tation s about to be launched by local promoters. <. In midsummer, when the Boxing com- Mission was almost depopulated by the resignation of Jim Price and the ousting of Frank O'Nelll, the matter o1 empower- ing the referees to render official ver- dlcts was suggested to Governor Whit- Mman. But he preferred to lea~e the mat- ter to the boxing commissioners. Then Fred Wenck was appointed chairman of the governing body, and the proposition Was put up to him. The idea found favor with him, but he decided to bide his time until two new commissioners ‘Were appointed.

But as soon as the “fight- i lightwelght champlon left for other the feeling began to wane until it nearly nil.

PITCHES A NO/HIT COMBAT By FRANK G, MENKE. NEW YORK, Dec, 4—Dave Davenport of . the 8t. Louls Feds ranks today as one of the greatest pitchers the game ever produced. And Davenport's star is still ascending. You haven't heard much about him In & general way because when he was with the Cincinnat! Reds he was so wild that he was just mediocrs, and since his jump to the Gilmore circult his achieve- ments seem to have escapéd country- wide attention, Davenport is six feet and six inches fall, He welghs about 210, h an arm like & steel rod, a hand ti simply smothers the ball and & physique that wouid enable him to pitch every other day in tho season, If necessary. lavenport broke into the majors a few years ago through the Cincinnati Reds' route. He showed blinding speed from the start, and he had a dasaling assort- ment of curves. But he was shy on con- trol. Whey he let go of the ball no one knew just where it was going to land. “It Davenport ever learns control he'll be a pitching wonder,” declared the Cin- cinnatl oritics. And then Davenport jumped to the Bt. Louls Feds and into |1 the walting arms of Fielder Jones, one of the greatest developers of pitchers In the country, Jones Taught Him Control. Jones labored long and patiently with Davenport in an effort to curb that wild streak.. When Davenport started off the last season he had better than falr control~but he wasn't perfect. Jones kept comching him throughout the sen- #on, and when the latter part of August came around Jones figured that his serv- jces as a teacher nu longer were neces- wary. “I guess Davenport ls ready to show the boys some real pitching,” sald Jones “He can handle the ball ndw." On September 7 Davenport pitted his mighty right arm against the Chicago club and held them hitless. On the he allowed Newark only two hits; the 17th he ylelded but two Brookiyn; on the 224 Baltimore secured cnly thres hits off his delivery, and two days later Davenport let Buffalo down with three hits, Cne no-bit game, two two-hit games and two three-hit games in one month—that's Davenport's record. Adding to the glory ot Davenport's 1015 work is the fact that on July 81 he allowed Buffalo only one bit, shutting them out, and on April 18 he allowed Chicago only three hits. During the season Davenport pitched nine shutout games in the forty full Menke's | | Here are the men selected for the All- American team by Frank (.

I8 MAKING A RIG MISTAKE NEW YORK, Dec. 4.~Word comes from New Orleans that Frank Moran has turned down an offer to meet Fred Ful- fon there over the twenty-round distance, although the promoters promised him that ¢ he defeated Fulton he would get the chance to meet Jess Willard at a later date. Moran's reply was to the effect that he would meet Wiliard or no one, &8 he was of the opinion that he had al- ready established his right to the match. Moran seems to be making a big mis- take. Jils contention that he established his right to meet Willard in a champlon- sbip mateh by defeating Jim Coffey is gnmes in which he participated. In ad- dition to those forty full games he acted us relief pitcher in fifteen others, worle- Ing in fifty-five games altogether. In one of the rellet games he went in in the third inning and allowed only one hit during the remaining six innings. In five other rellef games in which he worked an wverage of four innings he did not allow & hit Davenport's record for the season shows fifty-five games participated in, twemty- two won and elghteen lost, for an average ot 650, Lost His One-Run Gamon, Davenport is a “hard luck" pitcher. The breaks never favor him. He never can count on luck ¢s a factor in bringing Km victory, It he wins it is by sheer pitching power alone. Almost one-halt of Davenport's defeats last year were by ove run marging. At least three times Le held the opposition to one run through- out the nine innings, only to lose because Eis team falled to score. A oconsiderable pitcher is Davenport, ond if he begins the 1916 season where he left off this fall, the opposition batters probably will move to have him excom- municated from the league. CHAMBERLAIN PLACED ON M'LEAN'® ALL-AMERICAN Malcolm MacLean of the Chicago Post placed Guy Chamberiain of Nebraska at left end on his All-American eleven se- lection, Lean also gave the other end to & tern man, Baston of Minne- sota, and says these two wing men are the best in the country. contrary to general oplnion of the sub- ject. As o matter of fact Coffey is merely a local idol and is practically a stranger to the fans of other cities. That Morap's victory was not regarded very kighly in other sections of the country was made apparent by the reception ac- corded the Pitteburgher in his home town recently, Instead of showing pride In the burly blonde Pittsburgh's fans caused him much embarrassment by Inquiring why he did not clear little Jack Dillen from | his path. If Moran was wise he would make haste to dispose of Fulton, who is rapidly be- coming more dangerous as he gains ex- perience, Unless the Rochester glant proves to be a false alarm it will not be long before he has more followers than the Pittsburgher and the latter may find humself sldetracked when Willard's next cpponent Is selcted. From all accounts Fulton is made to erder for Moran. It appears that Fulton, like Coffey, is afflicted with a glass Jaw Practically every man of experience who has faced him has been able to send him to the floor at some thme during the en- gagement. At one time Fulton became @lscouraged quickly and was apt to re- main on the canvas, but of late he has gained much confidence in htwmself and no longer gives up hope when stung by a blow, In time Fulton may learn to keep his chin out of the path of his opponent's haymakers, but just at present he prob- ably would have little chance of dodging Moran's deadly right, and as the latter would gain considerable prestige by de- feating him, besides removing a danger- | '1cus rival from his path, it looks as though Moran was overlooking a bet striking while the iron is hot. in not Reporter Goes to Coursing Meet and Says Humane Society is Right The reporter was languishing at his basking in the gentle heat Vel diffused by an adjacent steam radiator.

STATR FOOT BALL IMPROVES Brand of Gridiron Game Displayed This Year Shows Big Develop- ment of Sport. ALL-STATE TEAM SELECTION A decade ago the brand of foot bdll displayed by the smaller state colleges of Nebraska was, to say the least, medio- cre. A decade ago if a state college coach was questioned as to the foot ball out- look of his team his answer generally ran along this channel: “Pretty good, I had six men out for practice yesterday and expect seven to- day.” It was a tough job in the old days for & coach to get a full squad out for prac- tice and he practically never had two full squads so that he could order a de. cent scrimmage. And most of the coaches ‘were instructors in the colleges, teaching the young Nebraskan Greek and Latin, and spending only his lelsure hours at gridiron instruction. But it is a different story today. As the brand of foot ball exhibited by the \[larger colleges and universities of the west has developed until it stands at par with the best the east can show, so has the great college gamie improved among Nebraska's state institutions. It is really an excellent quality of foot ball that is new seen when Nebraska Wesleyan, Kearney, Hastings, Grand Island, Doane and such colleges battle. ¥ Team Represents School.

The men on the team are given the consideration due them. And as a result foot ball in the state colleges of Nebraska has been ele- vated to a plane 100 per cent higher than it was five or six years ago, and there is absolutely no comparison to he made with the foot ball of ten years ago, And Nebraska foot ball has a rosy future. It will improve as the years go on and it will be but a short time whcn (Nebraska can truthfully boast that the foot ball of its state colleges is as good as that of any other state in the union. An Al.State Team. The colleges of the state this year hal & number of mighty good foot ball players on thelr teams. An all-state eleven would pretty nearly contain eleven men who could make good on Nebraska or any other Missouri Valley team. Tak- ing Wesleyan, for instance, that school could be depended upon to play Drake, Washington, Missouri, Kansas Aggies, all Missourl Valley conference schools, and give them a run for their money and probably would return victor from two, or even possibly three, of those schools. An all-state team which is chosen from selections made by coaches of state col- leges and officlals who judged several of the contests, is as follows: Name. Poaition. Shields . E. Rosene . Lesh .

AINSWORTH CANNOT BE FOUND Pa Rourke has been awarded the snug sum of 260 bucks by the national board of arbitration. Spokane is the ciub which must pay out the coin. 1t will be remembered that a year ago Barl Chase was given to Spokane and Omaha was to get Win Noyes, a pitcher. Rourke was to pay an additional sum n cash when Noyes reported here, Then Noyes relused to report and pulled the old stuff that he was a fres agent. After much fussing and fuming Rourke told Spokane the club could keep both Noyes and Chase for $20. Spokane agreed. But Spokane forgot to pay Rourke the coln, probably as the Nortawestern league was about to blow up all season The loop weathered the storm, however, #0 Rourke took the matter betore the national board and was awarded ths judgment. Now the national comunission and national board Is hold ng about §,0.0 of Spokane s money from urafts, sales, trades and the like, and Rourke has been promised that the $20 will be heid out. Bo he’ll get it sometime this winter to help tide him out. Alnsworth Disappenrs. One of Pa's new athietes has disap- peared. His name is Alnsworth. ~Ains worth s a pitcher Pa purchased last summer from Fort Wayne. Some thirty or forty @ys ago he sent Alnsworth a contract, address.ng the letter to the lit- tle Pennsylvania town In which Ains worth lives, ‘Up to date Ainsworth has failed to reply and hasn't even acknowi- edged receipt, of the contract. President Heilbroner of the Central league, in which Ainsworth p.ayed las. year, says he Is a good, relable chap and that Rourke won't have any trouble. Hellbroner said probably Answorth wasn't home when the letier arrived. Name Not on Reserve List. A pecullar occurrence regarding Ains. worth had Rourke frightened when the reserve lists were announced. The namo of Alnsworth was not to be found on either the Omaha or Fort Wayne reserve lists and it looked like the hurler was a free agent. But Rourke luckily had a copy of his letter to Farrell, piacing the twirler on his list and he fixed the mai- ter up at the recent Frisco meeting. Rourke and Frank C. Zehrung had a conference here yesterday om Weatsrn league affairs. It was the second time Rourke had met the new president.
