One promoter offers Willard a guarantee of $32,500 or | 45 per cent of the gate receipts and 51 per cent of the moving pleture rights, Another promoter offers the champion 332,500 flat guarantec and a cash bonus of $5,000 for siguing articles, while a third submits the tempting bait of $60,000 for two ten-round bouts. Moran, in the role of challenger, does not fare so well, but has been offered as high as $30,000 for two bouts, one of which shall be the af- falr with Willard. Apparently the pro- mioters do_ not regard prosperity as merely & prospect, but a reality right In the midst of the fight fans. Perhaps they are correct and the mill will attract a gate of nearly $100,000, but it does not seem that prize fighters are compensated away out of proportion. It will be re- membered that Corbett and .Sullivan fought for a purse of $25,000. Other great fights in the baloyon days of the prize riug: were staged for sums of similar ambunt and less. And they were to the limit, not mere ten-round boxing exhibi« tiohs. “And it was thought fighters re- ceived almost fabulous sums, too. It seems ‘strange, indeed, that a Kansas cow puncher—Willard—and a' Pennsylva- nia coal miner—Moran—should be able to command as great a sum for thirty min- utes of exhibition as an, ordipary man could for several years of hard- toil. e - The.year of <1916, ‘unless the dope Soes. mightly wrong; will bring forth a new set of champions, The field of pros- pective . candidates for championship homors is wealthy in every line of sport and it does not seem possible that the old ‘guard will rule another year.

GILMORE COMPLETELY OUT| Silk Hat Harry’s Divorce Suit - ('INWT‘KNQ LKE YU R Fed Prexie Who Created Such a Stir | Will Retire to Stationery Businesy. KICKED ' HIMSELF OUT OF :on} NEW YORK, Jan. %.—Having cut the | déepest mark ever inflicted on the side | of Organized Base Ball, James Gllmoro is preparing to wind up the gffairs of the | Federd! league and retire from the game for good. This will come as a surprise | to’'many of those who expected him to become president of the Chicago Cubs or to occupy an executive position with the National league. With Gilmore will go Harry Sinclair, the oil millionaire, who dropped close to a half million and is quite satisfied to let it go at that. Gilmore declares that Sinclalr, having tired of trying to buy info the Giants, Is quite willing to quit. He does not belleve that Sinclalr has any serious Intention of buying into the St. Louis Carllnals, the ofl man wanting a New York club or nothing. But the retirement of Gilmore is of moré interést. At his own suggestion he has helped to bring about ppace, thereby forcing himself out of a $15,000 job, There were whispers of a movement on foot to make Giimore president of the | National léague, but that is impossible in view of the contract héld by Governor Tener. Gilmore has a wonderf#® faculty of being able to dig up fresh money and would be a power In any organization. He may rise from oblivion later, but that is where he is going now. “What®will you do?™ he was asked “I guess I'll be an “object of charity around here pretty soon,” he sald with & laugh. “You pevér can tell.” It develops, though, that Gilmore is at the head of a big wholesale and manu- facturing stationery company in New York. To that business he witl devote his entire tim Offices S{lil Open. The Federal league offices are still open, but it is the plan to close them and sub-rent if possible. The offices are leased for a year. i “That lease might conwvince you, by the way,” sald Gilmore, “that we were sincere in our Intentions of placing a ¢lub in New York. We had no idea of quitting when headquarters were estab- lished here.” ““What do you intend to do about the Baltimore Federal league people, who feel sore over the peace settlement?’ was asked. “In what way?' “Why they say that they never agreed to any peace and that they will raise trouble uniess they are looked after.” “I've heard that before,” he said. *‘But they had a representative in the meet- ing who made several gpeeches, I was authorized to act for the league and I did so. Baltimore will ‘simply have to take its medicine like the rest of the league. They will get the same treat- ment ‘that other clubs get. If they ex- pect more than that they'll have to fight for it."

KANSAS OITY, Mo, Jan. 20.—After fourteen years of inactlvity as a place for the holding of prize fights, Conven- tion hall in this city will again be used for an arena, it was announced today. Louis W. Shouse, manager of the big auditorium, stated today that the first fight would be staged on February 10, under the auspices of the Central Ath- letio club, & new orgapization in the sporting game In Kansas City. ‘It is planned to fill the open dates with prize fights and G. Kauffman, head of the new athletio club, is negotiating with ‘several fighters for bouts. “The directors of the hall decided in 1902 that it’ would not be well to' ha prize fights so they put a ban on *it” sald Mr, Shouse, “but the ban has been lifted.” It will be a far ery from grand opera singers to prize fighters, it was pointed out, but the word has been given to go ahead with the squared circle entér- tainment. ? Convention hall will seat 15,000 persons, it is claimed. THIS GUN CLUB HOLDS SHOOTS AT MIDNIGHT The ““Furthest North” gun club is sit- uated at Nome, Alaska.

Has Its Gymnasium in Parish House An athletic club which has a parish | house for a gymnasium and club rooms | is the All Baint's Athletic club which is composed of two score young lads whe attend All Saints’ Episcopal church live near the church. The All Saints’ Athletic club was organ~ ized and is conducted under the director- ship of Morley Young, who was formerly one of Central High school's star athletes. The club meets every Monday evening in the parish house of All Saints’ church and Young a program lined out for his young chatges each week. | The club holds dances and other soclal entertainments and occasionally stag an athletic carnival to ralse funds for expenses incurred. In this way apparatus for the parish house-gym was purchased, a8 there are no dues attached to mem- bership. The club held one of its carnivals a week *ag0 Monday and so clever were some of the stunts that the Shriners have invited the lads to entertain them Feb- ruary 10. The boys have accepted the in- vitation. Some pretty clever athletes are num- bered among the youngsters. For In- | stance, Paul Jones, who admits of but 15 summers, is & wizard at high jumping. Young Jones leaped a heighth of# five feet ten inches indoors. This is a re- or | markable record as there are mighty few collegiate athletes in the country who can reach six feet even out of doors. There are a number of other youths in the club who can jump over five feet, but Jones holds the high mark. Everitt Mason is a youngster who holds & unque record. Mason jumps head-first over four chairs. He makes the leap with the chairs standing upright, too. By quickly ducking his head so that the force of the fall is on his back and by extending his hands to break the force of the fall, Mason is able to make his head- first dive without “‘cracking his sconce.” To Gordon Grout goes the lightweight wrestling championship of the club. Gor- don weighs about 120 pounds but he is some grappler and has the edge on all | his mates of similar weight. Ronald Bar- | rows is the heavywelght wrestling cham- plon of the association. As for boxing, there is the argument. Director Young says they are all champs. “If one of the kids should set himself up. as boxing champ,” sald Young, “the whole club would be on hand to knock his bloek off. They are all champs unless they happen to be unconsciows. Half of them even think they can lick Jess Wil- lard."” Edward Mackay is 8 half-mile runner who Wwill hold bis own with any half- miler of his age in_the siate, declares Young, while John Metzger bids claim to the sprinting championship. The All Safnts’ Athletic club is a pretty classy junior athletic organization even if it does use a parish house for a gym and some of its youngsters will be heard from when they grow older and enter into intersholastic and intercollegiate athletics, | 1DONT K oW GET ou Samew A GARAGE wou - ; T v (SN & (™ 700 PROUD ™ F BUT 1M GONNA ook INTY ™ THING= TOMORROW, |GRID PROSPECTS | ARE 600D AT UN (Continued from Page One.) est confidence for another soason, Seven qf those sixteen men who have won letters under the regime of Jumbo Stiehm can ‘boast of the benefit of two years of guidance under Stiehm.

HARD YEAR FOR AMATEURS |WATCH EX-FEDS CLOSELY It Will Be a Case of “Simon Pure” Under the New Laws of Golf Association. OTHER SPORTS FOLLOW SUIT NEW YORK, Jan. 2.~It looks like a rough sedson for '‘amateurs!” There is every reason to belleve that the pace set by the United States Golf association At its recent meeting in Chicago, in es- tablishing a definite boundary line, in- side which the amateur may roam and which 18 so restricted that the slightest misstep finds the amateur launched beyond the pale, will be followed by the United States Lawn Tennis association and the Intercollegiate Assoelation of Amateur Athletes of Americe. And that any such action taken by the Intercol- legiate Associetion of Amateur Athletes ot America will be followed by the Ama- teur Athletic union is' & foregone con- clusion. On the whole, then, it appears as if in the very near future amateurs in all branches of athletic endeavor will have a straight and narfow path blazed for them. That the action of the golfers is to good purpose cannot be gainsaid by any who stand for untarnished amateur sport. For too long now the definition, or rather the various nitions, of an amateur have been too elastic, with the result that too frequently the taint of professionalism has been injected as & punctuation mark in amateur sport. Some associations have been inclined to frown upon how another assoclation has Interpreted the rule, and what has been ground for disqualification in one asso- clation has been tolerated in another. The adoption of the rule passed by the golfers, phrased of course to cover the various athletic activities, would be the nearest approach to a stanuard rule that has yet obtained, and would be & long stride in the right direction. Tts adoption may work some bardships at firs But tids is to be expected., The passing of any rule so drastic is sure to be accompanied by hardships in some quarters, a condition due solely to the elasticity of the rules which have been and still are in vogue in some associa- tions. The rule passed by the United States Golf associationt Is not too drastic. It follows: ‘“‘Accepting or holding any po- #itlon as agent or employe that includes as part of its Jities the handling of golf supplies, or engaging in any business wherein one's usefulness or profits arise because of skill or prominence in the game of golf.” By substituting the words tennis and | athletics wherever golf is mentioned thi rule can be adopted by the United States Nationa! Lawn Tennis association, the Intercollegiate Assoclation of Amateur Athletes of America and the American Athletie union | EVANGELISM DIDN'T PAY FOR THIS BALL PLAYER Billy Crofoot, a player well known in the Canadian league and the old Interna~ fonal league twenty-five years ago, died recently at Toronto. In late years he 50t the idea that he was an evangelist and opened what he called & “gospel on” in Toron$, driving about from t to street, preaching to sinners and implering them to be saved.” Crefoot was regarded 4s & harmless character and died poor, never having had the Btr attended the work of that other base ball evangelist, “Billy” Sunday, Fans Are Anxious to Learn How Federal Stars Will Fare in Organized Majors. KEEN RIVALRY WILL EXIST NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—The work of the ex-Federal leaguers in the National and American leagues will be watched very closely by the fans during the coming season. In fact, the advent into Or: ganized ball ranks of the former outlaw stars is expected to furnish the highlight of an ynusual base ball yea ‘There is certain to be keen rivalry be~ tweéen the old players in the big leagues and the newcomers. The swar Organized ball twirlers will be on their metal when- ever Bennie Kauff, Lee Magee, lack, Rousch, Zwilling, Cooper or Campbell steps to the plate. - And Kauff, Magee and company will be equally anxious to hit-and show that, they are as capadle of solving the delivery of the National or American league pitching stars as they were of the defunct Federal league hurlers. This situation will create a tension that should result in the playi of the high- ect grade base ball seen in many years. That {8 why the National pastime has an excellent chance of regaining its old hold on the populace in one season. Wil Act as Stimulus, The knowledge that the base ball world is watching their work closely, perhaps & bit skeptically, will affect the various former Fed stars differently. To some it will act as a stimulus, spurring them on the heights they never before attained. It 1s very apt to make others over- anxious and prevent them showing to best advantage in the early days of the season, Bennie Kauff is one of those who will be stimulated by the knowledge that he is. belng. watched. It may make Bennle a bit anxious to swing at them all from the shoetops, but he will play good ball. S0 will Lee Magee. Campbell has been up before, and made good. He should have little trouble holding the pace.

Jumes Pugh of Chicago, former commes: | dore of the Chicago Yacht club, who has* been co-operating with officlals of thes | Navy department h connection with. plans for a fleet of motorboats to uct as submarine destroyers recelved plans for a» new crulser to be known as Disturber: V1. Commodore Pugh is the owner of< Disturber 1V, sald to bé the fastest motorboat in the world, The plans just’ received provide for a displacement boat® soventy feet long, with a freebowrd of five feet, designed to carry a thrée-inch disappearing gun and a torpedo 'tube and to develop a speed of fifty miles an hour. The boat will use gasoline for fuel, with the exhaust silenced and will have & | erutsing radius of 10,000 miles, with ae- | commodations for ten persons. Its cost is estimated at $0,000, Mr. Pugh ex- plained that the cruising radius of 10,000 miles contemplates the economical rather than the maximum speed. “The hull is new in design, a development of the hy~ | droplane lines,” he suid. “I will use the 1,800 horsepower engines that I had in Disturber 1V. The gasoline capacity will be 18,000 gallons. I am bullding it be- cause I want a craft that will take me | to Mackinac Island in six or séven hours and because in case of war the United States navy will need boats of that type. | The gun carriage and torpedo tube will conform to specifications of the Navy de~ parament.” Wifey Scolds When Hubby Hits Triple | Ed Koney tells this one: “A newly married ball player wanted. his wife to Ploneer League. wee B 64 300 Mulvahill 67 .372 | attend a ball game.
