cessful Carnival on
Franklin Field
Philadelphia, April 10.—Final
drawings lor tlie Penn relay car
/Clival were made yesterday. Tho.
for championships, military and na
val nd college classes indicate a
record meet. ,
In all 301 teams were drawn for
the different events. All of these
are bonaflde entries with tne -
ception of about ten, that were put
into the draw by the relay manage
ment as the colleges had not been
definitely heard from, but it is con
sidered most likely that they would
send on their teams. By putting
them in the drawing, these teams
got their chance as otherwise they
would have to be considered post
entries and go on the outside.
This was the case with Cornell,
whose manager wrote some time ago
that they woiild probably enter the
one, four, the sprint, medley and
the freshman race. They were also
i,ut into the two and the distance
medley as they may desire to put
teams in one or other of
events. The relay teams from tne
First Naval district of Boston .and
the Great Lakes Naval Training sta
tion were put into the drawing for
the military and naval relay races
as both of these important camps
desire to compete if they can get to
gether the money for the expenses
of their men. The drawings follow:

Jess Willard Favors
Ten-Round Battle
WhenHeMeets Fulton
Now York, April 10.—Now thati
Jess Willard and Fred Fulton, the]
two most ponderous heavyweights, •
have entangled themselves by a set!
of articles agreeing to a battle for
the world's heavyweight champion
ship, it is to be suspected that Jsss
is looking around for a soft spot to
light. Ten round and eight round
laws, according to past performances
of the heavyweight titleholder.
should offer very attractive purses,
for they probably will be given a
great deal of consideration. If ano
decision clause is hooked onto the
law or the commission rules, so
much the better—for Jess.
Willard would wind up a career of
pacifist principles in an age of fight
ing should he agree to meet Fulton
in a no decision, short bout. The
only scrap he has engaged in since
he dethroned Jack Johnson was one
of that kind of fiascos and it was
just as unsatisfactory as it is possible
to make a bout. There is no reason
to believe that another of the same
length and description should prove
anv more thrilling to the fistic pub
lic.
Fulton Is Cajiable

Cleveland.—Fred Wolfe, purchas
ing agent for the American Gypsum
Company, was on a suburban car of
the Northwestern Ohio Electric. An
111-advised passenger gave loud ex
pression to his distaste for America,
and said. "One German could whip
twenty Americans." Wolfe, putting
on his coat again a little later, said,

lors and bowling alleys at Reading.
He is now at his home in Millvillo,
N. J. Yerkes is a good boy. He will
be in evidence at Steelton.
According to reports 80,000 base
balls have gone to France. This is
not all. Other equipment haa been
shipped and there will be some old
time baseball games in the vicinity
of Paris this summer. "Over there"
in the Paris league, all umpires will
be armed. It is a safe bet all games
will be clean.
Earue Kirby, former left fielder
for Scranton, is in charge of a hand

Mich. This boy will soon be throwing
some "hot ones'* in France.
According to correspondence sent
the St. Louis Sporting News by one
of the Texas League writers. First
Baseman Kraft, formerly with the
Wllkes-Barre team, is kicking on
the salary offered him by the Fort
Worth club of the Texas circuit
Kraft received a big salary from
Wlikes-Barre and Fort Worth is said
to have asked him to accept a cut.
It is said Eouisville would have
signed Kraft for this season but for
the fact that he is liable to be called
for army service within a few weeks.
Any old time Kraft does not have a
kick, there is something wrong. He is
happy when he can kick.
fully capable of of knocking out the
big champio Inside ten rounds, but
the public will smell a rat If the
fight is finally held under that pro
vision. Tha public, long-suffering
at times, probably will reach the con
clusion that Jess and Fred are going;
to fight for the honor of staging a
longer bout at some other day. Jess
has stated he wants no camouflaged
mil! when he takes on his chief con
tender, but really wants to go into
action for the purpose of defending
his title against the best of the big
men. The public certainly has start
ed pulling for Willard to make his
word good with a long fight and a
decision tacked onto the end.
Public Is Tired
The fact is thepublic is tired of
Willard's throne keeping. The fans
want to see some one else on the
crest of the white hope brigade. Jess
has been too much of a pacifist and
circus manipulator to suit the fight
follower. He wants more action.
That's why a majority of the men
who patronize the glove game are
pulling hard for a long fight, with
a decision. They figure that Fulton
can knock out Willard inside twen
ty rounds, or outbox the champion so
far that there will be no question
of his superiority.
FAIR PLAY RULES
FOR NEW JERSEY
Boxing Commissioners An
nounce That They Will
Play No Favorites
Trenton. April 10.—Speaking of
boxing under commission rule In
this state, John S. Smith, chairman
of the recently-appointed governing
board, says:
"We propose to administer the
Hurley law without fear or favor.
"We are an absolutely independent
body and will remain so through
out our three-year term of office.
We further propose to make Jersey
an object lesson to other states in
boxing regulations.
"There will be no politics In this
body. We will play no favorites.
We are fortunate in that nobody
in the state can claim a 'favor' for
their efforts in having the bill writ
ten into the statute books. Assem
blyman Hurley and myself and a
couple of others were all that 'back
ed' the bill. Not a penny was spent
stirring up agitation for it."
"Are you planning any particular
reform??" Chairman Smith was
asked.
"Well, none of particular moment.
We hope to profit by the mistakes
which other commissions have made.
For one thing, we shall pay particu
lar attention in the granting of li
censes. Phoney leases will not go.
Every club mtist have a bonaflde
lease for one year or own outright
the building in which it operates.
We will make it a rule not to grant
licenses until the second meeting
after the one at which application
for it is made. This will give us
time to thoroughly Investigate all
applications. lam in favor of hav
ing the commission appoint the ref
erees for every boxing show and
limiting the number of clubs.
"The small club, T believe, does
more harm than good, and we prob
ably will adopt measures to keep rhe
shoestring promoter out of the sport.
Atlantic City, I think, would support
not more than one club. Hoboken
is big enough fo'r only one. too.
Newark and Jersey City, perhaps,
could carry two. The law does not
restrict the number of clubs, but the
law does give the commission the
power to do so. At our next meet
ing we shall draft our rules."
"Have you decided upon your sec
retary?"
"No. There are Several appli
cants for the post, but all that I can
say at this time is that a Newark
man in all probability will be nam
ed."
It Is said that Assemblvman Hur
ley is a candidate, but it is not con
sidered likely that he will be chosen.
Many think it would be impolitic
for the father of the bill to have a
place in its administrating commit
tee.

Manager Hugh Jennings
Has Ace of Spades Mascot
Oklahoma City, April 10.—Oscar
Free, the black mascot taken from
Waxahachie, Texas, by Manager
Jennings, still accompanies the club,
with fine prospects of his going all
the way North to Detroit.
As long as the Tigers are winning,
Hughie, will keep the ace of spades
in tow, but woe be unto him if the
!club strikes a slump, Jennings has
i the players believing that Oscar was
born with the left hind foot of a
rabbit in his hand and a horseshoe
on the top of his head, and therefore
finds little difficulty in getting the
boys to cough up part of the expense
required for Oscar's transportation.
Oscar was chief rubber at the
Tiger barracks and paged the bag
gage • for the pilgrimage North.
!Donie Bush speaks of him as Oscar
I Oscar, when he doesn't wish to get
the son of Hani confused with
Oscar Stanage or Oscar Vltt in any
j discussion that might arise.

ANNOUNCEMENT
.
OUR Government has requested that we put at the disposal of
the War Department our entire output of the "makings"—
"BULL" DURHAM tobacco.
And we have complied—fully, gladly. For whatever the Gov
ernment wants, whatever it needs, it must have from us and from
you fully and with a generous heart.
We have been sending immense quantities of "Bull" to our men
at the front, and at the same time trying to supply consumers at home.
But now we are asked to give all our output: —36,000,000 sacks,
2,000,000 lbs., 100 carloads of "BULL" DURHAM every month.
This call means more than just huge figures to me and I know it
will mean more than figures to the hundreds of thousands of men every
where in the country who "roll their own" and who look upon that
little muslin sack of good old "Bull" as a personal, everyday necessity.
It means that the Government has found that our fighting men
need the "makings".
But, if "Bull" is a necessity to you, here, in the peaceful pursuit of
your daily life, how much greater its necessity to those splendid
Americans who have gone to fight for you —to win this war for you.
I know that you will think of them as I do—only of them. I know
there will not be a single complaint. I know that you will give up your
share of "Bull", however long you have enjoyed it, however close it is
to you, as you will give up anything you have if it is made clear to you
that our forces over there need it.
That the Government has requested the whole output of "Bull",
the night and day output of all of our factories, must make this abso
lute need clear to you.
And I know that you will not forget the little muslin sack —gone
for the present on its mission of hope and inspiration to our boys iii
the trenohes.
"Bull" will come back, with ribbons of honor. Have no fear.

Likes Scoop Tricks as
It Would Help on Chickens
Montgomery, Ala., April 10.—Hal
Chase was somewhat puzzled by the
closeness with which a sable citizen
clung around his heels ever since his
arrival.
The dark gentleman was first on
the ball field each day and sticks
closer than three brothers through
the practice sessions.
Finally, turning suddenly on the
admiring Negro, Hall asked him why
such devotion "Goodness massy
me, • Marse Chase!" the black boy
stammered. "Ah jest can't keep
mah eyes offen de way yo' scoops up
dem grounders and dem bad throws.
APRTL 10, 1913.
What Ah wants, Marse Chase, is to
learn de trick. Won't you show
me?"
"Sure thing, boy?" smiled Hal.
"You want to learn the trick so you
can play first on your ball club?"
"Nossuli, nossuh," explained the
African. "Dat scoop trick, Marse
Chase, would be de grandest thing
in de world for to catch chickens
as dey fiuttah!"
