MONDAY EVENING, WILLARD WANTS TITLE CONTEST Negotiations Now on Not For Publicity Y Heady For Fulton Chicago, Dec. 31—The latest state ment from Jess Willard is to the ef fect that ho really wants to stake his title against any heavyweight in the country. "There Is one thing I wish to make plain," said Jess, "and that is the heavyweight title will be at stake in the bout. There was a story in some of the papers to the effect that I said my title would not be risked, but it is untrue. If the man I box knocks me out he will be heavyweight champion of the world. He will have won the title and 1 will be the first to congratulate him. "There was something in the pa pers about the Red Cross rejecting my offer because they cared nothing about handling the proceeds of a boxing bout. I don't believe it. All year the Red Cross has accepted money from me, and as I earned everything I have through boxing, I can't see where there should be any discrimination. If the Red Cross turns me down, any war charity like the tobacco fund, athletic fund or anything else which will benefit the soldiers and sailors can get all or part of it, as it sees lit. No Publicity Scheme "This is not a press agent dream. It will not help me in business, be cause I will not go out on the road next year. The circus will stay in the South this season because it would be foolish to try to transport equipment while the railroads are all tied up. That means I have all of the time in the world to get in shape for the battle, and the sooner the better. "Now about Fred Fulton. He seems to be the best of the heavyweight contenders, and it is up to him to accept or reject my offer to meet him. If he backs out of the match, then it must be someone else. Ful ton has been making some rash statements for the last year, and now he Is called. • If he really means all he has said, everything can be arranged satisfactorily, for there will be no question of weight, size of the purse or anything else. The next move must come from Fulton. "I favor Philadelphia for the bout, because I know I will get a fair deal there. With honest men at the ring side there will be no chance to put anything over, and there are some people who are looking for a chance to get back at me." Patrolmen Are Scheduled For Volleyball Contest; For Volleyball Contest Patrolmen and businessmen will meet in a volleyball match to-mor- i rom afternoon. It will be a battle! royal. This contest is scheduled to take place at 3.15 in the Y. M. C. A. I gymnasium. It is part of the big! program arranged for New Vear's! Day by C. W. Miller, physical direc- j tor.

The boxers who fur- I nished the region with fistic battles' | have gone either to the military j service or the munition plants and as a consequence there hasn't been a bout in Mount Carmel or Shamokin this winter. Among the boxers who have gone to the Army are: John (Hunky) Williams, John Gdariic (Shitty Doughnuts), George (Paw nee) Hinkle, Stanley (Kid> Baylor, Walter (Lefty) Thomas and a half dozen others. Kid Shgeler is at pres ent located in Maryland and Har old Jones has retired from the game. Efforts on the part of managers from other places to stage bouts in this region have failed, due to the lack of intercity boxing rivalry, brought about through the departure of the favorites. Amateur Teams Will Aid Soldier Athletes Cleveland, Dec. 31. —Sand-lot base ball may be called on to do its share 1 for the war. j Clayton Townes, president of the i National Federation of Baseball, made up cf amateur ball teams in Toledo, Chicago, Dallas, Birmingham and numerous other cities, an nounced to-day that lie would confer witn Joseph Raycroft, secretary of the United States Training Camp Athletic Commission, in New York, with a view of staging games next summer between soldiers and teams in the federation. Townes, with Frank P. Coles, of Toledo, vice-president of the federa tion, left for New York to-day. They propose to raise-half a million dol lars from the proceeds of the games to buy baseball equipment for the soldiers. Former Tri-State Umps to Quit Baseball Game Shamokin. Pa., Dec. 31.—John J. j Kelly, once famous in the Tri-Stata, New York State and American As ! sociation Leagues as "Mope Up" Kel 'Mey, umpire, is out of baseball for all time. Kelly has accepted a posi tion as a cotton inspector at Savan nah, Ga., and has written friends here that he is through with the na tional pastime. In his day Kelly was one of the most celebrated um pires in the state, having received his early training in the art of umpiring from no less a personage than the lamented Tim Hurst, who was a na tive of Ashland, and received his training for the big leagues in the, I old Anthracite League. BASEBALL By John K. Tenor President of the National IjOnpic (From Philadelphia Inquirer, Sun day, December 30.) There is no good reason why our! national game of baseball should not: prove to be as popular as ever dur-' ing the season of 1918, notwithstand-j ing the universal anxiety centered in: the terrible conflict now being wag-1 ed on the European battlefields for world-wide democracy. I am confi dent that the Americaif people >vill loyally support their national past-1 time and that baseball will be even more popular when this awful enter-1 geney shall have passed into history. It is generally admitted that the! best means of obtaining physical re-j creation' is to seek and cultivate some outdoor sport. The inclination fori some form of sport in the open by I youth and adult is as old as the ; world. This was true in Greece and later in Rome when the great em pire was in outward form a republic. | In our modern day the greatest sport loving people in the universe jire those of the English-speaking race,! on which the sun never ceases to shine, and in whom the spirit of! liberty is more strongly implanted ] than any other people since the! dawn of creation. The American game of baseball! YOU BRING A SMILE TO A WOUNDED SOLDIER'S FACE WHEN YOU SEND HIM TOBACCO "Our. Boys in France Tobacco - Fund," is in receipt of the following J interesting story from the well i known author, Julian Street, who J; cites its closing paragraph as an in * i stance of the* need that will exist ® | among our American soldiers for the ; solace of a smoke. "My cousin, Edmund R. Street, of ; Toronto, was a young officer in the British regular army at the time of ■ j the Boer YY'ar. In that war his health ! was injured. He retired from the army. When this war broke out he j offered his services because trained '! officers were, as you know, greatly "| needed. He was gazetted to the regi j ment known us the Sherwood For s esters, in October, 1914, as a eap „ i tain. He was in the early hard light- 11 ing when the British held on so s j magnificently against superior num [ | bers and artillery. On July 3, 1915, he was awarded the Distinguished i Service Order—'for conspicuous good I work under heavy fire between May .113 and IG, 1915, near Le Touquet, | and for going down a gassed mine to , | assist in the rescue of men.' He went j! to Buckingham Palace where the or | der was given him by the king. He ; had by then been promoted to the I rank of major. "On August 21. 1916. I wrote him j sending him a check for sls to be applied in any way he wished for , < the benefit of the soldiers. Shortly ,I after the middle of October i re j ceived news of his death. I "He was wounded October 14, by . j machine gun fire, while encouraging . his men in an assault upon German , I gun pits opposite their trench. A | letter from a fellow officer says that • I after he fell 'he continued to carry sj on as commander of his company, .| reading and dictating messages, and I apparently giving no thought to him i i self, until the doctor ordered his re- J moval to the hospital.' There he died ™ next day. "Some time after getting this news ! I received a letter which had been ; found among by cousin's effects after ; I his death. It was dated 'ln the Field, I October 5, 1916/ and referred to a | number of things. I had mentioned my great liking for the French. " 'Apropos the French,' he wrote. |'l, too, like them immensely.

It seems that this game of our own invention includes and embraces every essential that stimulates the mind, creates the ex hausted faculty, amuses the jaded sense, revives the sluggish blood, makes strong the weak muscles and impels a vigor and health to the body that no other form of exercise combining the element of sport can accomplish. Thousands of young Americans engage in the game of baseball either as a means of pleas ureable exercise and recreation or as a means of honorable livelihood, while millions witness the playing of games, both professional and ama teur. When the benefits to be derived from the game of baseball are taken Into consideration there is added in centive for its continuation during the coming season. It is td meet this urgent necessity for recreation and relaxation from lime to time in this crucial period of our national exist ence that clean, wholesome sport is needed and I know of no game that fulfills such requirements better than baseball. For these reasons and be cause of these conditions baseball is certain to form an important part of our recreative life in the trying days which are apparently ahead of us. don't know!

NEW HOLDER OF LIVE-BIRD TITLE William B. Clegg, Philadel phia, Wins Championship by Defeating Davy Paul Winning by two birds from Davy Paul, holder of the Pennsylvania State live bird championship, Wil liam B. Clegg, of Philadelphia, se cured undisputed possession of the tiUe Saturday afternoon when he defeated the champion in a twenty five-bird shoot over the wind-swept traps of the Eagle Gun Club, at Ma noa, near Philadelphia, by a score of 25 to 23. Paul won the champion ship from Joseph Brennerjnan, at Lancaster, last April. The annual contest for the state championship and Harrisburg trophy will be held in this city February 22, Washington's birthday. Clegg's tally of twenty-three birds, under the weather conditions, stamps him as a champion wing shot. With a gale blowing at thirty-seven miles an hour and the mercury hanging around zero it required nerve, stam ina and skill to brave such elements in an attempt to win a titular event. Despite all the adverse weather, Clegg gave one grand exhibition of marksmanship with his double-bar reled gun, hitting his birds squarely and making instant kills. Davy Paul, who held the title be fore the big shoot, was the first man to congratulate the new champion. It was a case where the challenger beaj. the challengee. Challenge Title The Pennsylvania State champion ship is a challenge type. If, for in stance, Clegg won the title at a spe cial shoot, another wing shot could issue a challenge to him upon the placing of $25 and the titleholder would be forced to meet the gunner wanting a chance at his coveted hon or. The champion, however. Is privi leged to name the day for the match, the place and time. A silver trophy is the state prize. Both Clegg and Paul are Philadel phians. Clegg grassed his first thir teen pigeons straight. The fourteenth, | a straight driver, made him miss. The next bird sprung from the trap was bagged, but the sixteenth also flew out of his range, a right-quar tering flier. From then on Clegg tiifished his quota without a miss. Paul had the misfortune to fall | down on his tirst bird trapped. His tenth trip to the trap resulted in an other miss, but yet Davy plugged I along. At the sixteenth round both ' men were tie away with two misses each. After that frame Paul drew several hard duffers and two light quartering flyers went sailing out of sight, giving him but twenty-one kills. The men shot from the twenty seven-yard mark.

Masonic Temple. In addition to election of officers, re ports of the retiring officers will be made and steps taken to make the season of 1918 the most successful in the history of the club. Sport Leaders Have Optimistic Views Optimism is the keynote struck by leading men in the various branches of sport in discussing the outlook for 1918. It is satisfying, to say the least, that men who have made a par ticular study of their own sports and the conditions which con front them should be practically as one in urging and recommend ing that everything possible be done to stimulate a wide and gen eral participation on track, Held and water. These expressions carry the ! more weight in coming from such J men as John K. Tener, president I of the National League; Julian S.

Judging by the breaks they make whan taking exception to a referee's decision, some spectators at Satur day night games care only for the dance that follows the contest. "Just wait until we get going," is Steelton High's cry, and it is a safe bet that the cage stars from the neighboring town are going to cut some figure In the scholastic game. You must hand It to that Steelton bunch when It comes to real sport. One local baseball fan writes: "What will Harrisburg do in base ball next year?" He ought to ask something easier. Just now there are other sports that need attention. Some time during February baseball interest may begin to sprout.
