BOSTON RED SOX MAY LOSE MANAGER JACK BARRY—TECH READY FOR LEBANON FIVE FRED WILL NOT DO, SAYS JESS Willard Tells What He Is Willing to Do in Next Fight Chlcagft, Jan. 22.—"Fred Fulton won't do: 1 had hopes that he might loom up in the public eye as a worthy opponent for my title—that lie would show against other men of our class that he was the most logical contender for an opportunity to throw me, but he won't stand the test. His light with Billy Miske in St. Paul demonstrated that he can not lick a man of 168 pounds. "In his match with Carl Morris he quit cold and but for his seconds would have left the ring between rounds. I had hopes he might over come this, but it's not in him, and believe me his showing is a sad dis appointment to me for it kind of kicks my plans and I want to tell >ou X was and am absolutely sincere In my endeavor to give the lied <'ross or soldiers SIOO,OOO or more." This was the comment of Jess Wil lard to-day: Gives Up Hope. "X haven't given up hope of meet ing him, but before I do I want to Bet public assurance that they con sider him a worthy foe. I'm not lighting to make history for him or a name. 1 want to aid • the boys "over there.' He fights Tom Cowler in Denver February 1. I hope he an retrieve his lost laurels. "If the show draws SIOO,OOO I want that much to go to the sol diers. If it draws only $20,000 I •want to be sure they get it all. And to make Fulton's burden lighter I'll pay his training expenses, pay for ■the renting of the ring and other Incidentals. Two offers have been laade which got my consideration. < ne comes from Dominick Tor torich, of New Orleans, consenting to loan me his arena. The other comes -from persons at Fort Sheri dan, Illinois, saying that I can use that spot. Looks mighty fine in view of the fact that I am planning the fight for July 4."

WEDNESDAY EVENING, itAJRRJSBURG (fSjjft* TELEGRAPH JANUARY 23. 1918, BOSTON RED SOX MAY LOSE BARRY; NO FURLOUGHS ■' ' ~ J I%VS SSSVICB MANAGER JACK BARRY Boston, Jan. 23. —Manager Jack Barry, of the Red Sox. who is now a yeoman in the naval reserves and on duty at the Boston Navy Yard, will not be given a furlough for the summer in order to play major league baseball, and President Harry Frazee of the Sox, will have to look for a new manager. Lieutenant J. K. Park, Jr., athletic director of ftic navy yard, announced the de cision of tho department to-day. It also affects all major and minor league players now in both oranclies of the service. The Red Sox players affected by this ruling are: Catcher Wilder, Infielders Janvrin, Cooney and Bentley, Pitchers Shore, Pen nock and Bader, Infielders Barry, Gainer and McXally and Outfielders Lewis and Shorten. Others in Service Of the Braves: Maranvllle and Schrieber, shortstops, and Rico and AN ALL NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM LOOKS STRONG; ALEXANDER'S HIGH RECORD j New York, Jan. 23.—An All-Na i tional League baseball team, the se lection of which is based upon the j official records of the leading players for at least fifty games in their re spective positions, shows, almost without exception, famous stars at their accustomed stations. Accord ing to the system used fifty per cent, is allowed for the value of the player on the offensive and an equal per centage for his defensive work. The theory is that a player on such a combination should be equal ly strong at bat and in the field. As I a result high grade stick work and fielding are necessary to produce a place-winning average and this ap plies to all the players Including the pitcher, who, in addition, must league-leading ability in the box, al i though not caltfed upon to qualify | in the fifty-game class. | Under these conditions it is not ! surprising that Grover Alexander, | late of the Philadelphia Club, should stand out as the premier twirler of the senior league. Viewed from al most any angle Alexander's records prove his right to be selected for the position of boxman on an all star 1917 National League team. He led the league in number of innings pitched and allowed less runs per game than any other twirler. Alexander High Standard Alexander was also fourth in per centage on the games-won-and-lost basis and his combined batting and fielding averages produce a higher grand average than any of his rivals. Perritt and Schupp, of New York; Schneider, Cincinnati, and Vaughn, Chicago, are close competitors for the position but none quite ap proaches Alexander's standard. Catcher Killifer, who is Alex ander's battery mate and who was sold to the Chicago Nationals re cently with the pitcher, easily makes the place behind the bat. His grand average is .629, eights points better than that of Rariden, of New York. Gonzalez, of St. Louis, is third and Wingo, of Cincinnati, fourth.

"Dutch" Leonard, the famous southpaw, is now on his way east and will probably loin the navy here, as will "Tilly" Walker and Jimmy Walsh, outfielders. War conditions permitting, the Boston Navy Yard will have a line up that will read like a big league nine. Arthus Rico, of tho Braves, and Jack Leary, of Indianapolis, formerly of the Browns, are slated as catchers; Ernie Shore, Lore, Bader and Herb Pennock, of the Red Sox, and Chippie Gaw, of the Buffalo club, are signed tor pitcher.*. Del Gainer, Barry and McNally, all of the Red Sox, Will play the bases, while Walter MaranvVfi®, of the Braves, will be in his old place at short.

Chase has five points the better of the batting averages but Konetchy is eleven ' j points better in fielding with the net ! results that the Boston player Is I the choice for the bag. Another Boston player fits in on the midway sack for Rawlings' [ records at bat and in tlio field show to better advantages than either Cutshaw, of Brooklyn, or Doyle, or j Chicago. Of this trio Cutshaw has , J the best batting average but Rawl ings' fielding puts him to the fore | with a total of .616 to Cutshaw's .611 ' I and Doyle's .603. Grota at Third Base At third base Groh, of Cincin nati, leads the figld by a comfort able margin. He batted .304 and fielded .966 for a grand average of .635. His nearest rival is Zimmer man, of New York, who is thirteen , | points below the Cincinnati player, j Zimmerman's figures show that he 1 batted seven points below Groh and | fielded nineteen points below the season average of the winner of the I place. The position of shortstop is earn ed by another star, in the person of Hornsby, of St. Louis. He is twenty-five points better than his , nearest rival, Fletcher, of New York. Olson, of Brooklyn, and Maranville! ! of Boston, finished right at the heels I of Fletcher but neither threatens the | first place laurels of Hornsby. The latter hit .327 and fielded .939 for (the 1917 season, giving him a grand average of .63 3. For the outfield, Roush. of Cin cinnati; Wheat, of Brooklyn, and Kauff, of New York, form the lead ■ lng trio. Burns, of New York; Cary, of Pittsburgh, and Neale, of Cincinnati. show up well but none of them could wrest a place from the first three Roush is six points better than Wheat while Kauff falls three points below the latter's average. The personnel of the team, with the averages and grand averages for the season, are as follows: Hassett will probably use Gerdes and Houston, forwards; Ed. Sourbier, center, and Gough and Bihl, guards. The Bucknell Ave are building their hopes on Harrisburg and Mathieson, who are regar<Jed as two of the fastest collegiate forwards and whose clever floor work went a long way in de'feating Getytsburg College -last week. Hassett is strengthening their defense and is ready for anything the Bucknell boys may spring on them. Dancing will follow the game with music by Delone's orchestra.

PITCHER EDDIE PLANK St. Louis. Jan. 23.—Eddie Plank, veteran pitcher, and Derrill Pratt, second baseman, were traded to the New York Americans by the St. Louis Americans yesterday for five players and cash. The New York club gave in exchange Pitchers Shocker and Cullop, Catcher Nunamaker and In fielders Malsel and Gedeon. The amount of the cash was not stated. Cleveland and \V as,lln gt° n clubs {Jiavc been after Second Baseman Pratt, but the deal by which he was traded was hastened by Ills refusal to sign a 191S contract until his suij for alleged slander against President Ball, of the St. Louis Americans, was settled. Manager Huggins, of the New York Americans, assumed all responsibility for getting Pratt to sign a New York contract this year and for getting Pitcher Plank to return t obaseball. Plank quit the gatne last season. Business Manager Quinn, of the St. Louis Americans, said two other important trades may be made this week. Cullop With Indiana Cullop played with the Cleveland Americans in i 913, and during that season went to the Kansas City Fed erals. In 1914 his pitching in the last game against st. Louis allowed Chi cago to win the Federal League pen nant. Kansas City won the game and St. Louis lost the pennant by a very small margin. When tl.e agreement between the Federal League and organized base ball was made, Cullop went to the New York Americans. It is under stood that the latter team paid Harry Sinclair, Oklahoma oil magnate, who held an option, $12,000 for Cullop. Pratt's departure from St. Louts was hastened by a suit which he and John Lavan instituted last fall against Phil Bail, president of the Browns. Ball was quoted as saying that his players were "laying down and not playing their best. Lavan and Pratt immediately brought suit for damages. Pratt should have sev eral years before him as a major leaguer, as he is not yet 28 years of age. His batting has fallen during the last two years, but a broken wrist early last season undoubtedly affect ed his stick work. He was a normal .290 hitter in his early days with the Browns. He has always been a long distance hitter, one of those sluggers of the Pipp type whose real worth Is not shown in the official batting average. Veteran Eddie Plonk Eddie Plank is the oldest player in baseball. He was 42 years of age last August when he quit the Browns and returned to his home at Gettys burg. Despite his age, Plank showed great pitching form during the 1917 season, ranking third among the American League pitchers in effec tiveness. Though with .a consistent loser, he managed to break even, winning as many games as he lost. Plank was almost 26 years of age when he joined the Athletics back In 1901, and he remained with the Mack men until the winter of 1914-15, when he was • unconditionally released in the first rumblings of the debacle that broke up the great Athletics. Plank pitched in 1915 with the Feds and in 1916 and 1917 for the St. Louis Browns. Famous Indian Runner Dies Following an Operation; Started at Carlisle School Philadelphia.

International League Is After Two Farrell Towns Baltimore Jan. 23.—A1l fear that the International League would cease operations for the period of the war was dispelled when Man ager Jack Dunn of the Orioles came out with the announcement that the league would run in full blast. He stated that he knew whereof he spoke, and to prove this, he will act for several of the managers of the clubs in the circuit and visit Buf falo and Rochester to see just how things stand. Montreal and Richmond very probably will not enter the league this year, and Albany and Syracuse, both New York state cities, are strongly to take their place?. Syracuse holds a New York State League franchise, and Albany was for several years in the State League, but at present holds no franchise. In regard to Buffalo and Roches ter, Dunn says he can see no '-eason why they should not stick, due to the fact that both cities are located right near big training camps, Just the same as Baltimore, and ho is sure the teams would be able to dfaw many soldiery to the game every day in the week. Detroit Tigers Enlist to Fight For Uncle Sam Scranton. " Pa., Jan. 23.—Manner Hughey Jennings, of the Detroit TM gers, announced here that to date he has lost ten ballplayers through en listment or draft, and that several other Tigers, Ty Cobb included, have been placed in Class 1. Three of his pitchers, five inflelders, an outfielder and a catcher have decided to fight under Uncle Sam rather than with the umpires in Hughey said. The players lost by Detroit are: Pitchers Ehmke, Alten and Oldham: First Basemen Burns and Mills; Catcher Baker, and Inflelders Nichol son, Ellison and Fuller. Most of these players are youngsters who were farmed out by Detroit last season, but on whom Jennings had been counting s>r substantial aid for his Tigers in This season's campaign. Jennings has heard nothing more regarding the case of Ty Cobb, who was placed in Class J last week. However, he says he is confident Tyrus will be able to start the sea son and most likely finish the race before called for service in the Army.

Thompson, chairman of the Minnesota Boxing Commission, announced yes terday that the commission would In vestigate reports that Fred Fulton fought with a broken bone in his hand in the match with Billy Miske hero Fr'day night. Thompson said if the commission was satisfied that Fulton went Into the ring knowing the bone was frac tured, he would recommend that the boxer be barred from Minnesota bouts. The statement was made by Dr. Ed ward J. Clark, of Minneapolis, that cocaine he gav e Fulton to ease the pain In his hand rendered him unable to make the best showing against Miske. riw^s Among fight fans there is a general belief that some one is hounding Fred I'ulton. Now it is reported that he may be barred from lighting in Min nesota. It is said he fought Miske wltn a broken hand and his physician failed to report it. What Fulton needs is a good manager and trainer who know a thing or two. It is stories like that made public about Fulton to-day that are killing the fighting game. If the ring sport s to b 0 on the level there should be laws to prevent the public from being duped. This state should have a boxing bill that will bring clean sport. Charles H.
