BUSY BASKETBALL WEEK FOR LOCAL TEAMS-FRED FULTON IS AFTER WILLARD
BUSY WEEK FOR
LOCAL TOSSERS
High School Teams Have Hard
Schedule Ahead; Two
Home Contests
T-ocal high school basketball teams
will continue their schedules of games
this week with renewed energy and
ten more games will be played in this
vicinity during the week. Williams
port plays Tech High Friday in this
city. Hazleton High School, the team
that defeated Central in the latter's
opening game in the coal region re
cently, will come to this city Friday to
try to repeat. When Central lost this
game it was deprived of Rote, who did
not accompany the team. Hazleton
won the contest by one point and
McCord's five should be able to win
the honors. The game will be played
at Cathedral Hall, as Chestnut Street
Hall will be occupied by the pure food
exhibit.
One Tjcbsuc Game
There will be but one Central Penn
sylvania League game this week at
Vorlc. Coach Gaffney will take his
Steelton High to that city.
After a lapse of a week without a
contest the Academy tossers will re
new activities next Saturday in this
city with Gettysburg Academy. The
locals have been playing a fast floor
game on their own floor and should
be able to add another victim to their
list.
Camp Hill High will have a full
week, playing at Middletown Friday,
while the next evening they will line
up against Carlisle Tech at that place.
Camp Hill, it is said, has an even
chance to win at Carlisle Saturday, as
the Carlisle five is rather green at the
game.
A number of games are also sched
uled for the Tech interclass league.
The game that was scheduled for last
Friday afternoon between the Seniors'j
and Sophomores was postponed until j
this afternoon. It is likely that
"Wednesday will see the Seniors and
Freshmen In action, while Friday the
Juniors and Sophomores are sched
uled to get together.

man, new owner of the Chicago Na
tional- League Baseball Ciub, was ask
ed for the name of the banker who
is one of his backers.
"I can't tell his name," said
Weeghman, "but here is the kind of
a sportsman he is. Last Thursday
as the moment for the.transfer of the
Taft holdings drew near T found my
self shy $75,000 of the $500,000 pur
chase price. The checks of two men
who had taken stock had failed to
arrive, so I called up the banker.
" 'l've got to have $75,000 in the
next 10 minutes.' I told him. In eight
minutes he appeared in my office with
75 SI,OOO bills. The next morning the
checks arrived by mail."
Weeghman confirmed a report that
John R. Thompson, former city treas
urer, who owns more lunchrooms than
Weeghman does, had sent a check for
$25,000 for Cub stock. Weeghman
said he would try to accommodate
him.

Special to the Tclegrftph
New York, Jan. 24. —Melvin Shep
pard, one-time champion middle dis
tance runner and a member of the
Olympic team sent to Sweden, says
that the present system of scoring In
cross-country runs by the A. A. U. is
unfair. Sheppard is now the trainer
of the Millrose A. C. athletes. He
claims that the club that has the first
men to finish should be declared the
winner and not the club that scores
the lowest number of points.
He cites that under the present sys
tem employed In scoring a club can
have three of its men finish far up in
the race and two others after another
club finishes its five men and, yet win
the team honors.
"The best team." says Sheppard, "is
the one that finishes its men first. The
system of scoring at the present time
is splendid for a poorly balanced team
only."
Sheppard will make an effort to
have the A. A. U. take up the matter
of cross-country scoring in the near
future.
Cornell Retains Moakley;
Veteran Coach Is Popular
Special to the Telegraph

the new arrangement will go into ef
fect immediately after the champion
ships have been decided.
Trainer Moakley came to Cornell
seventeen years ago. and under his
supervision Cornell has won six in
tercollegiate track meets and four
teen annual cross-country meets. Since
the opening of Schoelkopf Field and

FRED FULTON IS
AFTER CHAMPION
If Montana Giant Wins Com
ing Battle His Chances
Are Good
Special to the Telegraph
New York, Jan. 24. lt would not
do to allow one day to flit by without
somebody doing something to furnish
one more twist to the Willard-Moran
fuss.
The gentleman to step into the
breach this time Is Mlchaele Collins,
who hails from Montana. Michaele
to-day wired from New Orleans:
"Will arrive in New York shortly.
Intend to challenge Moran on behalf
of Fred Fulton, the winner to get first
chance at Wlllard. Bout will naturally
depend upon outcome of Fulton's
match with Dan (Porky) Flynn
Thursday in this city."
Regarding the next move on the
chessboard, Jack Curley's word is that
the situation has now reached the stage
where Frank Morail will have to do
some fighting. There is not the slight
est doubt that Willard is the magnet
that will draw the monster gate.
It takes two men to make a fight,
but to get the crowd to separate it
self from the long green there has to
be a headliner, and Jess Willard is that
bird. ' Therefore, if Moran holds out
and makes too exorbitant demands, it
won't be suprising if he is cast aside
and another opponent sought.
If Fred Fulton happens to stage a
haymaker over one Dan Flynn, or
even if he manages to win a decisive
victory, he will become very prominent
in the figuring.
He can come here and demand that
Willard go through with his contract
of a few weeks ago, or he can insist
that Moran fight him for the privilege
of meeting the champion.

Demand for boxing commissions at®
increasing throughout the United
States. The public wants ring sport,
but in the past it has been mixed up
with so many fake exhibitions that pa
tronage fell off. The success of the com
mission in charge of boxing in New
York State, has brought ring battles
back to a high standard. There is ro
reason why tight promoters In Penn
sylvania should not have a State
governing body.
In Congress to-day William J. Carey,
representative from Wisconsin, expect
ed to offer a bill creating a boxing
commission for the District of Colum
bia. The bill requires bonds from all
tight promoters; the expulsion of fak»
fighters and no decisions. This, It Is
believed would mean clean sport.
