Crore RUN, Work italiane Worth St °* HE Governors of Nevada and New Mexico having given out | the information that their States can struggle along without the Willard-Fulton bout, it is now up to | Colorado. When Promoter Col. Miller | was in New York, seeing what might | be done in the short-bout no-deciaion | lune, he said that he rather preferred Colorado, where there was “no chance | of interference,” ! F the Governor of Colorado echoes | the sentiments of the Governors of | Nevada and New Mexico there'll be only one way in which Willard and Fulton can box on July 4 They oan offer thelr services to the Gov- ernment. They can show that they are not “slackers” at heart by fighting | for a moderate percentage apd lotting bulk of the gate money, and all moving picture money, go ped the | Army Athletic Fund of the Comm! sion on Training Camp Activities. ‘This, a» James Coffroth, the tamous Promoter, suggests, would bring in| enough money to buy boxing gloves | and other athletic goods to outfit all! the training camps in America. And if it didn't bring in enough it would | at least give the commission a good start. Other bouts between well known boxers would raise the rest of tho money needed. Perhaps Gov. Whitman would favor holding a Willard-Fulton bout in New York State if overy dollar of the net profit was turned over for army camp use. OVERNORS have 4 trick of fol- lowing eacb other's example. When Gov, Whitman barred) Les Darcy from boxing in New York | the Governors of other Stat where Les had matches treated him in the same way. Gov, Whitman, probably misinformed as to the circumstances, bad called Darcy @ “slacke! Bo other Governors branded bim ‘slacker too, Probably not one of them knew that Darcy wasn't a slacker in any sense of the word. They didn't know that he was the sole support of @ crippled and bed- ridden father, @ mother and ninw younger sisters and brother will under twenty-one years ‘of age when he left Australia; that he had twice tried to enlist, to be rejected necause of the above circumstances, and that his intention was to fight three or four matohes in America, send the money home to support his family and then enlist in Canada and go to the war, After Darcy's death it was found that his estate amounted to anly about $5,000. ‘BEST Record in South Was Beating Boston Braves Seven Out of Eight Games, etl playing in their proverbial ig hard luck, FF now they have arranged for playing the Brooklyn olub in a sort of pre- liminary to the opening of the big league season in New York. The ele- ments have invariably interfered with their clashing, or when they have met it has been #o cold that the practice has done the players more harm than good. ‘This is introductory to saying that the Yanks are scheduled to play the Robins at Dobets Field this afternoon —and of course there won't be any By Alex. Sullivan. looks aa though the Yanks are MEMICA {ts now In the war. Fred Fulton, according to the published records, was born April 18, 1891. He is married and has ® family to support, but must have made a fairly comfortable fortune in the ring In the past two years. Jess Willard’s record, as given, reads lke this: “Born Dec. 29, 1887, Pottawa- tomie County, Kansas, He ts mar- ried and has a large family, also a fortune reported to amount sev- eral hundred thousand dollars,” m OTH Willard and Fulton are men in the prime of life, unusually powerful and well trained ath- jetes, and far better fitted for sol- diering than nine men out of ten who have gone to the front, They are physi- cally as fit as Darcy was, And they have the money Darcy lacked for support of dependents. Under the circumstances it’ would not be surprising if other Governors followed the éxample of Gov, Boyle, who telegraphed from Nevada: “Wil- jard and Fulton cannot fight In Ne- vada on July 4 or any other date, They have my unqualified permis- sion, however, to go to France and | fight the Boche any time they are ready,” HERE can be just one reason for holding a Willand-FPulton fight at the present time—and that iy the willingness of Willard @nd Fulton to turn their great draw- ng pewer to a patriotic use. They tan do it by fightin: to get money to furnish athletic equipment or sol- dler camps, If they do that they ehould welcomed by the officials in any part of the country HE onx wants a basehall club and a franchise in the International League, It 1s slightly handicapped by the fact that the n.ajor leagues have split up the vasebull patronage of the country, J now declare that the Bronx is 1e personal property of the nd the Yanks, Question: What is a TRUST?
