Only four-| yound bouts are allowed in Californta under the present’ law, but Coffroth expects to hold several boxing shows in Sap Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, in which such great box- ers as Ltonard, Gibbons, Ritchie and Kilbane will probably appear. Other boxing contests will be run in differ- ent parts of the country for the same purpose, OL. MILLER is coming East again, It seems the negotia- tions for holding the Willard- Fulton bout somewhere in the No Man's Land between St, Paul and Minneapolis bave fallen through, or t been ‘emporarily shelved for rus TORO’ For one oh the Minnesota au- thorities don't see why Col. Miller should insist upon having $10,000 of Minnesota money donated by the cit- izens of St. Paul and Minneapolis as an “inducement” to bring the battlers there, They think Willard shouldn't need an “inducement” to spend a few days in their fair State—beyond the $100,000 he hopes to cart away to Kansas early on the morning of july 5. For another thing, there have been many protests from’ people Who just naturally object to seeing two well- trained and famous fighters waste punches that might better be used on the Germans, Col. Miller has been communicating with the Governor of Minnesota, who has read the comments of the Gov- ernors of Nevada and New Mexico and doesn't feel very enthusiastic, Tn vain has the Colonel blithely called attention to the fact that the fight, held in Minnesota during a lull in the fishing season, would draw at least $160,000, of which the State would re- ceive $15,000 and the Federal Goy- ernment $15,000 in taxes, which, counting out Fulton's $20,000, would leave a mere $100,000 (and peanut, lemonade and picture money) for Jess. Bo the Colonel ts going to skirmish around a little more. He says he may not announce the battle-ground for a couple of weeks. But he's going to hold that fight if he has to hold it on his ranch out in Oklahoma and give & big free barbecue to bring a crowd. Yeesuh! He'll hold that fight and pay Fulton his $20,000 1f Jess doesn't get @ cent out of it, and if he has to fur- nigh the cattle for the barbecue out of his own pocket, so to speak. | Go that's all right as far Colonel is concerned, Jess been heard from, © hear that in spite of the doubt surrounding the hold- ing of the bout in that dear Minnesota, Jess Willard is keeping up the strenuous pace he set as soon as he began training. He knows that Fulton js in wonderful shape and that chopping down and destroying wooden supports when we were busy wreck- ing a German trench, but I have usod it tn the fighting too. An axe can beat a bayonet every time, If you know how to use the axe.

Hit for Quarter Million © By Draft of Ballplayers Loss of Alexander and Killifer Makes Chicago Nationals Heaviest Sufferers, but Nearly Every Other Club in Both Circuits Has Been Affected by Calls to War—Benny Kauff May Quit Game Any Time Now. ITH seventy-odd ball pinyors either in the national service or having received the of- fictal notification of their draft sub- ject to momentary call, the National ead American Leagues have lost nearly @ quarter of a million dollars worth of major league timber.

According to this announseement, the Chicago Cubs are the heaviest sufferers, having pald upward of $50,- 000 for Alexander and Killifer, Is- timates of the losses to other clubs cauged by the draft are as follows: Red Box, $15,000; Athletics, $16,000; Braves, $12,000; Tigers, $8,000; Reds, $8,000; Yanks, $7,500; White Sox, $7,600; Giants, $7,000; Cards, $7,500; Senators, $6,000; Browns, $6,000; Phil- lies, $6,000, and Pirates, 6,000.
