f NEW YOKK, April 29.
TUB first net In the $2I,000 sweepstakes

tntdst. The Minnesota Riant, or Rochester
rlpsnorter or the punching plasterer, or
Whatever he Is, walloped Al Kelch nil over

I'-.uIton won tho
battle becauso he
was not qulto ns bad
as Itelch. Ilelch was
worse than Fulton
and that Is the only
reason ho lost. Out
side of that, little
need bo said about
n. w. MAXWELL the relative merits of
the pair of battlers.
"A couplo of old ladles sot by with n

ns he tore up n $10 seat check nfter the
.performance. "I have seen many flffhts
In my time, but this Is without exception
, tho worst of tho lot, Fulton might bo
. good, but ho will havo to show more than
ho did tonight to convlnco tho public that
hel o tho logical opponent for Jess ."WIN
Inrd," J
A Very Sad Affair
Nat wnB right. The two heavyweights
put up a slow, sluggish battle, which was
so sad that oven tho sightseers who paid
tneir good money to bco a "prizes fight"
j, for tho first time, put on their coats nnd
hats and left tho thcatro beforo tho fuss
' Was half over.
If you can Imagine a boxer working out
! In a gymnasium against a stuffed dummy
' hanging on a rope and trying out every
piinch In tho book on Bald dummy you will
get an Idea of last night's burlesque.
Reich was tho dummy, and ho just stood
up and took tho punches. Only n dozen
times did ho attempt to hit back after tho
.first round, and then It was In a half
hearted manner. Ho acted llko ns lamb
undergoing an operation at tho hands of n
kind-faced butcher.
Whlfo Fulton Is credited with .1 techni
cal knockout, he was luoky to emerge
from tho ring whllo still standing on his
feet. A good, game boxer would have
stopped him early In tho battle, something
that "Shetfp" Reich should havo dono In
the first or fifth rounds. In tho opening
session Al landed a hard right flush on
Fulton's jaw and had him all but out. Ono
more, punch would havo finished him, but
"Sheep" refused to follow up his advan
tage and Fred weathered the storm. It
was tho samo in the fifth.
Has Good Left Jab
To Fulton's credit, however. It must
bo said that ho has a good left jab and
knows 'how to uso It Ho keeps sticking
It in continually In his opponent's face,
ah'd while it has little force behind It.
. the blow keeps the other follow at a dis
tance. In the first flvo rounds Frod jabbed
Reich hundreds of times nnd only raised
a lump over Al's right, oye. Fulton uses
his left llko a lightweight and Inflicts as
much damage ns a 133 pounder.
Several times tho plasterer crossed his
right to retiring Al's Jaw, but nothing
happened. Al remained on his feet, cov
ered up nnd took somo more punishment.
' All of which shows that Fulton cannot
hit and hls'long list of knockouts (not In
tho official records) must have been made
when he was wearing a horscshoo In
his glove for good luck.
Reich ,won only one round nnd that was
the first Ho stood up nnd allowed Ful
ton to pepper him with that long, rangy
left for two minutes without oven at
tempting to lead or fight back. Fred
smiled to his seconds, tho crowd and the
footlights, and was preparing to enjoy
a pleasant evening when Reich's right
EUddenly shot out and caught him flush
on the Jaw, Fulton's knees Bagged, his
eyes grow glassy and he tried to clinch.
Reich soaked him again In the same
place nnd It looked as If the now "bono"
had' exploded In tho very first stanza of
, his world conquering tour.
Reich Has Enqtigh
But Reich decided that he had clone
enough work for one evening and allowed
Fred to hang on and stagger around the
ring until the bell Bounded.
In the second round Fu.tm resumed his
jabbing tactics and Reich waa through.
Every one ut, tho ringside knew Fred was
In bad shape and Reich had a chanco to
win by a knockout, but Al refused to fight.
It looked ai If he was In there to take a
beating and ho was doing the best he
could.
The samo thing happened round after
round, with the exception of the fifth,
, when Reich landed another right-handed
smash, but It was only a flash In the pan;
It caused, a thrill, among the spectators for
, a few seconds, but that was all.
In the meantime Referee BUI Brown was
begging and pleading with Reich to please
do something besides covering up, and
when the "Sheep" refused he stopped the
uninteresting battle after the ninth round
had progressed one minute.
This! Is the first opponent selected for
Fulton by a syndicate in this wise city,
i The next will be Coffey, and If successful,
Fred will take on Frank Moran. All Fred
Will have to do Is to win from the blonde
Irishman and he will bo matched with
Wlllard.
Fulton' is said to be guaranteed $25,000
for 'the three battles. He gets 125,000
more If he knocks out all three opponents.
From the looks of the first bout, however,
the Jast $25,000 Is perfectly safe, as Fred
has Just as much chance to finish Moran
and Coffey as Frankle McManua or Johnny
O'Liury.

OFFICIALS ON
FOOTBALL FIELD
ARE COMPETENT
Gridiron Situation Dis
cussed by Dr. J. A. Bab
bitt at Board Meeting
NEXT SESSION IN MAY
Tnklng nd-nntago of tho number of
visiting athletes In town for the Pennsyl
vania Relay Carnival, tho central board
of football ofllclals held forth last night
nt tho Bellovue-Stratford and discussed
flvo Important topics relating to the Vari
ous ofllclals employed to take chargo 6f
the bit college games In tho East next
fall. Not only were there managers, ath
letic directors, deans of tha various uni
versities on hand for this meeting, but,
most Important of all, the lending gridiron
coaches of tho great eastern colleges
turned out en masse.
"Speedy" Rush, of Princeton famo;
Glonn Warner, whoso name has become as
sociated with the Carlisle Indians, and
Pittsburgh: Rob Folwell, Pennsylvania's
now gridiron tutor; Pat Cavanaugh, the
coach of tho Rig Green Dartmouth team;
Big Rill Hollenback. whose duties will be
Willi Syracuse University next fall; By
Dickson, who will bo assistant coach nt
Franklin Field next year; Keeno Fltzpat
rlck, the Princeton trainer, nnd R. C. Har
low, tho I'enn State general, wero all on
hand and had an Important role In the
proceedings of the conference.
Dr. James A. Babbitt, chairman of the
Central Board, addressed the body at the
beginning of the meeting nnd discussed
Important topics, which ho said he be
lieved to bo vital for tho betterment of
the football game. He first discussed tho
need of good ofllclals for college football
games. Then he dwelt upon the subject
of the need of good and competent foot
ball managers, His third remark dealt In
brief with the methods employed by the
Central Board In choosing various offi
cials. .
Officials Competent
He also discussed the present football
situation In American colleges today, stat
ing that he believed It was the conseusus
of opinion that officials in college foot
ball games today were more competent
than ever before. His last point was In
regard to the Rules Committee. He said
this body was so certain that the officials
were competent that, In case any new In
terpretations were needed In regard to
the present rules, It would not be neces
sary for that body to send out supple
mentary literature, by reason of the ability
of officials to get together nnd thresh the
matter out by themselves.
In regard to the possible elimination
of a number of Inactive officials from
tho list now in the hands of the board,
much discussion ensued, In which a num
ber of the most prominent coaches pres
ent took an active part. Rush, Cava
naugh, Folwell, Warner and several
others suggested methods whereby this
list of more than 1100 men could be
materially lessened, It was brought out
In the meeting that out of this number
only about 175 men were actively engaged
each week last fall,
A new plan Is to be launched, this year
by the central board In the form of a
meeting, which Is to be hold .either In
New York or Boston, composed of man
agers of the football teams of the 12 lead
ing universities In the East. This body,
together with coaches and other advisers,
will submit a list of officials desired at
vurlous big games next fall. It Is pro
posed that ..by this methoa the central
board and 'the colleges can accomplish
greater results by this personal confer
ence. The date of the meeting was not
decided upon 'definitely, but It will In all
probability be held during the week of
the intercolleglates In Boston.
Folwell'a Motion .i
Th'e only motion of the evening's busi
ness which was proposed and acted upon
was that of Bob Folwell, in which he
recommended that the central board con
tinue to make the selection of officials for
the coming year as It had previously done.
No action of final nature was taken In
regard to cutting down of the central
board's list of ptilclals. In all probability
this matter will be given final considera
tion at the final meeting In May.
All of the big moguls had a little "get
together" meeting at the close of the
business meeting, and football was the
main trend of the conversation. White,
the Syracuse captain, who won the 56
pound weight throwing event In the relays
yesterday, attended the meeting. Many
other football players from various uni
versities, including former stars, also
were present, and it U safe to say that
1 it has been Quito some time slnpe such
a prominent ouncn or gridiron stars hu
been assembled together at one time.

MEREDITH PREDICTS VICTORY
FOR PENN'S MILE RELAY

Tho West sends on nnothcr great mid
dlo distance runner In Harvey, of Wlfy
consln. Harvey Btarted behind mo in tht.
mlddlo relay and caught Stout and my1
self as wo camo to tho hend of the
Btrctch. He must havo run a very fast
CC0, for ho was right up at that polni.
This far first pan told on his sprint,
however, and he was Just beaten out Dy
Stout for second place
Stout was n very deceiving runne
to trail. I never ran behind a man who
you could tell bo llttlo about. He has
lots of spring and Bhown no distress whnt
ovcr. I was waiting for him to show Bomu
signs of tlreness or sprint beforo I dla
anything, but ho never gave ono, ana
had not Harvey camo up with his rusn
I think wo would havo gone down tho
stretch without changing our gaits, As
It was, Harvey drove mo into a. sprint
which carried me home.
Berry's win In the pentathlon did not
surprise mo n bit. Ah I said yesterday.
Berry outclassed tho men against him In
every ovont. He hns mado a record which
will be hard to beat ; It Is seldom you find
a fellow with his abilities. Most of the
men who go In for nil-round competition
are big fellows, who fall down when It
comes to tho sprints nnd long runs: Berry
Is best In these, besides being n good man
with the javelin and discus. Ho Is In n
class with Jim Thorpe and Roy Mercer,
and It Is hard to tell which one would bo
tho best In this event
White again won tho BG-pound weight,
but he had to go a llttlo to beat Richards,
of Cornell, who was second, Just 7 Inches
behind.
I cannot understand why Yale did not
turn out for tho long medley relay. They
have a very good -team ror this event, nnd
I expected to see them win It, but they
did -not even go In the race. They are
saving their men for this two-mile race, I
presume, hoping to break Princeton's rec
ord made last year.
Burke, of Wisconsin, was a second be
hind Ferguson's record of 65 seconds In
the quarter-mile low hurdles made last
year.
This event has been taken up with
great Interest by the colleges and makes
an Interesting race. It is a grueling
race, as could be seen by the spectators.
The men could hardly drag their feet
over the last hurdle, and 56 seconds Is
really fast time for this event.

Philadelphia Lad Meets

Semi This Morning
MAY FACE HERRESHOFF
LAKEWOOD, N. J.. April 29, The sue
cess of Sidney E. Sharwood, of the Mer
lon Cricket Club, In the Invitation tour
nament of the County of Lakewood. has
taken the starch out of some of the repre
sentatives of the metropolitan district.
When he won the medal for the Jow score
In the qualifying round they were asking
who waa Sharwood. But now they know
that he Is a pretty useful golfer who
should not fall to get Into the final round.
This morning he was pitted against the
veteran, J. M, Batterbon, of Fox Hills, and
It was generally conceded that the New
Yorker would have to play fast golf in
order to defeat the Phlladelphlan.
The winner of thla match will meet
Fred Herreshoff or W. N, Paul, and al
though the former Is the favorite. It would
cause no great surprise If Paul comes
through. He has played very consistent
golf In the tournament bo far, and It Is not
at all unlikely he will prove the ultimate
winner.
The weather was just the kind to bring
some classy golf out today, as the greens
appeared this morning to be In fine condi
tion. Swigler Again to Face Vale
Penn's baseball team left this morning, at
8 o'clock, from the ilvudlne Terminal for New
Haven to play Yale. .Coach Tbomas will use

smashed ycBtorday by Carter, of Illinois,
with Ivory, of Pennsylvania, Just one
quarter of an Inch behind. This, too, Is a
new event for tho collcgo men, and the
performance was good considering how
llttlo time they gtvo to It. This is tho
only collegiate meet In which they will
strlko this evont.
McCormlck, of Cornell, sprang n Bur
prlso In tho hammer and won easily. Ills
throw of 150 feet 2 inches was fnr be
yond any of his competitors. The closest
mnn to him was Roborts, of Harvard,
who threw 13G feet Vi Inch.
Mathews, Penn's weight man, was n big
disappointment. He could not hold his
form nnd fouled twlco while his other two
throws wero fnr-below his work ' prac
tice. Tho Bchoolboy relays proved very ox
citing. Friends' Central sprang n sur
prise on Penn Charter and Kplscopal and
just beat them out for tho lnteracadnmlc
chnmplonshtp.
Today's meet will prove far moro Inter
esting than yesterday's, for today the
throa big Intercollegiate relay champion
ships' of America will be decided. Every
collcgo which has a team of any ability
at all will bo suro to nppear and try for
this Utltl,- J, .
Cornell Is here ready for the four-mile
race, and I think will win this event.
Yalo Is my pick for' the two-mllo rnco
and oursolveB for tho one-mile tltlo.
. It Is undecided whether Berry will run
on our two-mile team or not. Conch Roy
Thomas, of the baseball team, wants to
tnko him to New Haven to play against
Yale, and wo want him to run, so thero Is
a deadlock. Should Berry run, wo will havo
a good twov .lie team, but without him we
stand a poc chance.
The shot-put will como off today, and
Mucks, the big Wisconsin Btar, Is here'
for this. Ho should win without much
trouble, but will find Maxfleld, of Lafay
ette, and Spears, of Dartmouth, two good
men.
Tho prep school championship will bo
a good race today. Mercersburg has a
team capable of doing 3:28. Exeter has
a good team entered, and SLAIbans School,
with Brewer running last, should show a
fast mile.
Everything points to a good day, and If
the weather Is clear good times are sure
to be hung up. The track yesterday, In
spite of all tho rain this last week, was
In fine shape, nnd It promises to be much
better this afternoon.
PENN OARSMEN
ARE READY FOR
THE NAVY RACE
Red and Blue Crews Take
Pinal Work-outs This
Morning
FIRST EVENT 4:30 P. M.
ANNAPOLIS. Md., April 20. The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania crews finished up
their last hard work-out prior to tho races
with Navy with a short trial this morning.
Coach Wright put his men through a
stiff practice yesterday in the morning and
afternoon rows. In the forenoon he took
both crews over the mlle-and-nve-slx-teenths
course at a leisurely gait and fin
ished up with a hard quarter-mile sprint,
the varsity winning by half a length. In
the afternoon, a half-mile race was held,
and again the first eight could not shake
off the Juniors, finishing but halt a length
to the good. The first boat had great dif
ficulty In getting the stroke high enough
at the start and was unable to keep it up
for the short distances.
The Freshmen arrived late In the after
noon and were taken over the Severn
course In order to acquaint them with
the conditions there. They finished up
with a half-mile time trial. The, water
In the afternoon was rougher than the
oarsmen have experienced on the Schuyl
kill, but this did not seem to bother
them much.
The Annapolis first boat averages two
pounds to a man heavier than the Penn
varsity, while their other crews are about
the same weight as Penn. The races will
tart at 4:30, but as yet the order of events
has not been decided, upon. In all prob
ability the varsity race will be held first,
the Junior next and the freshmen last.

ALVIE MILLER MAKES DEBUT
HERE AT NATIONAL TONIGHT
Meets Worthy Opponent in Frank Mc
Mnnus Four Other Star Bouts
Philadelphia fans have an opportunity
to seo Alvle Miller, aspirant for Johnny
Kllbano's title. In the Loraine, u., teatner
welKht's first Eastern appenrance when
ho shows at the National Club tonight.
Ho v.111 meet a clever opponent In Frankle
t 'Manus, who ha proved his class here
J one pf tho leadlnff boxers of his weight.
lo-i Hirst, fresh from a win cn,er Henry
Hauber, will box In his second scrap In
three days when he palm oft with Johnny
Tillman, In the other set-tos Tommy
O'Ksefe, takes on Patsy CUne. Mickey
Gallagher and Young Cohen clash and
Youns Fulton tackles a tough foe In Lew
Stinger.
Pat nradley. who was conceded to be the
toughest and most agsresslve battler here
about a year ago and who has developed him
self In crack-a-Jack condition after his long
lay-oft, will muka his return appearance In
tha rlne ut tha llroadwuy next Thursday night,
Mike Cosier, who should make Pat step fast,
has been selected as tha other BU per cent, of
the match. Two other star numbers, part of
what Mucgsy Taylor considers a triple wind,
up. will ba between Al Nelson and George
Illackburn and Darby Caspar and Frankle
Donahue. .
Thera Is no doubt about Benny Leonard
being- the most sensational lightweight at the
present time. Ills terrlnc right-hand punching
ability, coupled with his cleverness, mskes
him even u better boxor than Cbajjcy White.
In tha latter' s match here wlsT Charley
Thomas he showed wonderful ablly. but was
unable to stop the tough Kid, A Anockout for
Leonard Monday night at tha OUtnpta would
satisfy local fans as to Ilennjsa superiority
over white, but Cbarley ears Ue will fool the
New Yorker. '

You probably did not keep tho desired
