The statement was reprinted _ 4m patriotic newspapers all over the country, It had its result, for late reports from Minnesota show that Col. | Miller has responded Mberally. He has offered to give, beside the 10 Pex cent tax to the State and the 10 per cent. tax to the Federal Govern- | ment, an additional 10 per cent. of the | grbss receipts to the Minnesota State ‘Tuberculosis Fund, 12% per cent. of the gross receipts to the Army and Navy Athietio Fund, and 2% per cent. of the moving picture receipts to the Army and Navy Athletic Funds. In all, he offers to give 424 per cent. of the GROSS RECEIPTS, and per cent. of the picture recelpts. msidering that out of the remain- ing 57% per cent. of the fight receipt and 75 per cent. of picture receipts he must pay Fulton a cash guarantee of $20,000, pay all expenses connected with running the show, and give Wil- lard 75 per cent. of what “net profit’ may remain, Col, Miller bas shown that he is no tightwad. ‘The 12% per cent. of the gross re celpts given to the Army and Navy Athletic Funds should amount to at Teast $25,000. That $25,000 would buy | @ lot of athletic material for the boys ip our training camps, and the newly _ drafted troops have practically noth- ing at all in that line. There is a great . demand for boxing gloves, baseballs and other goods. The Commission on * Training Camp Activities ts doing all it can to raise money for the purpose of outfitting the camps as soon as posible. The moving picture money ‘gight amount to $25,000 more, Iin- agine what a boon to our soldier boys this $50,000 worth of athietio material would be, SEE tn tho despatches that “100 ministers and women” marched to the Capitol yesterday to pro- test to the Governor against allowing the bout to be held in Minnesota. Are these hundred ministers and Women going to subscribe $50,000 to the Army and Navy Athletic Funds, 4nd perhaps $20,000 to the Minnesota Tuberculosis Fund? If not, thelr ac- tlon is designed. to deprive the sol- diers and the sick of a very great al they can easily have. ~ AM against exploiting the big contests run purely for personal profit between men who ai emi- mently fit for army service, But in this case Col, Miller and Willard and Fulton, by giving liberally from une gate receipts, will be doing a far more useful thing than they could do! in the trenches. This is a time when every man must do the best work he ‘ean for his country. The Minnesota authorities reserve until to-day their sdecision on holding the bout in Min- nesota, although the Boxing Commis- sion is'tn favor of it, The bout should be held. [oiettiat tse ts another provision 1s that the boxers will be paid , their share in Liberty bonds at par, In other words, all of the money taken in, except actual expenses and the 10 per cent. to the Tuberculosis Fund and the 10 per cent.

ASEBALL magnates, who are at their wits’ ends over the in- evitable drafting of some of their star players, are finding them- selves face to face with an equally as perplexing problem in the matter of transportation and botel accom- modations, Fewer trains and the de- termination of the Government to minimize passenger traffic so far as possibie, as well as the constantly filled hotels with their exorbitant prices, are giving the big league magnates their fill of worry these days. With an exhibition game scheduled for Sunday with Jack Dunn's Orioles, Secretary John B. Foster of the Giunta. is having the hardest kind of @ time arranging shelter and fare for the atbletes at #026 Baltimore hos- telry. One hotel manager declared that the best he could offer was a rate of $6 per day, which would set the Giants back about $188 for their few hours on the initial heath of their crafty chieftain, All the larger Baltimore hotels are filled to overflowing at this time owing to the concentration of inter- national interests at Washington, which i# only about an hour's ride away. There are 60 many visitors in the Nation's capital at this time that Baltimore and other nearby cities have had to accommodate the over- flow. However, hard-working Secre- tary Foster expects to complete sat- isfactory arrangements for the ex- hibition game even if, as he sald to- day, he has to buy a hotel. While the schedule of hotels pat- ronized by the Giants in all the N: tional League cities 1s believed to be still intact, the management of each hostelry demands from two to three weeks’ notice in order to make the necessary reservations for the mighty men of McGraw. All the hotels have with Prankle Fleming, the Canadian ohampion. ‘The lade will clash thie Friday night im « ten- round bout at Hamilton, Ontario, Low ‘Teodier, who hag been gubstttnted for Irish Pateay Cline and will take on Willie Jackion in @ twelreround bout at the Temple A, O. of New Haven, Cona., on Monday night, is to ro. cette © guarantee of $2,500. with an option of 20 per cent, of the gross receljta Jackson is ala to receive @ quarantes of £2,600, which will cost the promoters close to $7,000 to run the show, Charley Harvey, manager of Widte Wallace, the Brooklyn Ughtwelght, i# very angry to-day over the reports went out after Wallace's fifteen-round bout at New Haven on Monday night to the of- feot that Wallace had been knocked down twice during the contest, “Wallace wasn't floored even once,” said Harvey, “and the decision waa given Brown because he did the better work in the last round.” Harvey claime that Brown 140 pounds at 8 P, M,, while Wallace wa pounds lighter, Frankie Callahen bewan training to-day at « qmnasium in Brooklyn for bis six-ronad #0 with Korey Kanme the mated Butfalo liehtweiht which will be staged at the National A.

St. Louis, which 1s warm in winter 4nd hot in summer, offers very ltue variety in the matter of summer comfort, but the Giants have made themselves as comfortable as pos- sible at the Buckingham Hotel. The Avon at Cincinnati and the scheniey at Pittsburgh are the other hotels patronized by the champions on the road. At all these places the hotel managements will have their own troubles keeping quarters for the Giants this season, Tho management of the Giants ts not losing any*sleep over having to make untoward plang of defense from the selective draft, As the matter now stands, the Giants are in danger of losing only Kauff and Barnes, The former has been put in Class 1A, but Pitcher Jess Barnes, while available or the us mot yet been siassified, although ho may receive offictal notification almost any day. As a whole, the Giants are a much married club. There .are only five bachelors on the team. These are Kauff, Barne mith, Rodriquez and Young. Of these, Kauff and Barnes are the only ones available for the ft. Smith 1s the sole support of a widowed mother and two unmarried sisters, and has been put in Class 4A. Rosa Young, being only twenty years of age, ts still under the minimum age of the draft. Rodriquez, a citizen of Cuba, is wholly exempt from the draft.
