Some of them stopped on the way to exchange views on prohibition, while others took their reflections with them to the movies. It was a hard game for the Engi neers and Firemen to lose, for with Connors pitching the kind of ball that gets less gifted flingers bigsalar. ies from big city clubs, it seemed as though they must win. The Motive Power players secured hut two hits off Connors, who went lame when he wrenched his knee. He was fling ing them across the plate exactlj' as one Mr Hoyle tells how to play pinoche and other alluring games with the cards.

But the going was too good and Connors was obliged to retire in favor of Eveler when he sustained the accident to his knee. The Engineers scored twice in the first inning. Waltz, first up, got his base on balls. Boss, who followed, slammed a hot one to Stewart after he had changed bats. Stewart fumbled the hit and Boss got first. Waltz going to second.

SNOODLES By Hanserford R~R- GOSH< y/ri \ ( \niskt IWUZA 1 hNows /VEIO _ \ \ /^g~\ 2g s ) I (K°/) -> Fortune For Jess Willard Whether He Wins or Loses; Biggest Purse Ever Offered in Ring r "t7 • - boXins with Hem Pe - one of Ms huskiest partners. Hempel is shown ducking one of Willard'si (C) Underwood and Underwood. With everything: set for the world's i championship pugilistic gonfalon on [ Friday next, there is keen interest to ! know just what the financial end means to the various participants. There is no question but that this ! feature was the first discussed, for ! it is certain Willard would never j have chucked up his business to en- ! ter the ring again had the reward j not been something beyond the ordi- I nary. Willard stands to-day with the ' capital chance to become really a rich man. By winning from Jack John- ! son at Havana, Cuba four years ago, ; Willard was placed in a position to ! begin building up an immense for- j tune, and should Dempsey capture the title there is no telling how much wealth he may accumulate in these days of high finance, when sport pro- j moters talk of the "sky" as the limit ! for big events. Aside from the actual purse money 1 of $127,500 signed for by the two ; pugilists, $lOO,OOO of which is guar- i anteed to Willard. win, lose or draw, i the enormous amount of cash which ! will be handled in connection with j the coming bout dwarfs all previous j ring contests into financial oblivion. : The "gate." from the sale of tickets and concessions, is expected to pass the one million dollar mark, which j would make the receipts of previous ; fistic carnivals look very small in j comparison. RJcknrd Deals In Rig Figures. Tex Riekard, the daring promoter j who is bringing the two men together j in this bout, generally does things on a large scale. He secured the j Johnson-Jeffries fight for a gurantee ! of $105,000, and at Reno his receipts amounted to $270,000. Of course, the I promoter was at an enormous outlay HARRISBT7RG TELEGRAPH in bringing that contest to an Issue, j having been forced almost at a mo | ment's notice to move from Califor | nia to another State in order to se j cure a battle ground. Rickard's out i luy for the coming battle, including | guaranteed puree, cost of arena con j struction, advertising and other ex | penses, will amount to a vast sum. j The casual observer might.think that i the promoter will still have a big margin of profit out of the charge ! for admission. At first glance this I seems reasonable, but Rickard is go ] ing to pay the regular war tax of ten | per cent, on all tickets purchased and has guaranteed the local authorities I percentage also. The United States Government, however, will have a big i claim for income tax, so that when i I everything is deducted from the ; "gate" Rickard's margin of profit j | probably will fall far short of the results be attained in some of hi 3 pre j vious ventures. Some changes have been made in j the conditions governing the bout ! since the original articles were 1 signed, the most important being the ; limiting of the contest to twelve | rounds and the reduction of the size j of the ring to twenty feet square. ' Originally the men were to have gone twenty or more rounds and the inten l tion was to have, a regulation twen j ty-four foot ring. Otherwise the agreement stands as signed by Rick ard. Willard and Dempsey, each be i ing entitled to a third of the mov -1 ing picture privileges. Willard is i guaranteed 1100,000 and Dempsey j $27,500. Ulg Following For Fach ' j When the two men step into the ' ! ring on Friday each will have a big | following of partisans. Those who ' i rely on Wiilard's retaining his title j insist that he is invulnerable to pun ' 1 ishment and that Dempsey will fail | j to reach his burly opponent with an ' j effective blow. Many of them also i claim that Willard has never hit a 1 human being with the full force of | which his huge frame is capable. It j is said that once during his prepara | tion for a previous contest Willard j lost his temper on being stung by the j blow of a sparring partner. Then I the big fellow landed a vicious swing j which swept his opponent and one of ! ths ring posts to a spot several hun j dred yards away from the ringside, i and that the "partner" needed medi cal attention for many days after ward. Dempsey's friends, and they are legion confidently state that no man, however big and strong, can with stand the impact of a full weight hook or swing from either of Jack's fists. They look for a quick ending, with Dempsey a winner. They say that Jack can land on Wiilard's Jaw just as effectively as he did on Fred Fulton's last year. They rely on Jack's fearlessness as a big asset, in conjunction with his heavy hitting power. Dempsey's youth also is one ; of the arguments his adherents ad ! vancc as being a decided factor in | his favor, as Dempsey is 24 years old. j There are conflicting statements as | to Wiilard's exact age, but it is gen , eral belief that the Kansan has passed j the 40-year mark. Dempsey has taken part in many ring contests during the last four I years, while Willard has fought only | twice within that period. Jess won j the championship from Johnson at | Havana, Cuba, in April, 1915. That j battle lasted 26 rounds. 'Just 11 ; months later Willard met Frank Mo ran, for 10 rounds at Madison Square j Garden, New York. This was a no j decision contest, but Moran was so far outclassed on that occasion that tljere was no question as to Wiilard's having won decisively. Since that time, March 25, 1916, Willard has not defended his title. Thousands of fis tic patrons believe that this protract ed absence from fighting has a de teriorating effect on the big cham pion's abilities, while Dempsey, hav ing been in ring action almost con stantly, will be in much better con dition. Dempsey a knoekerout Dempsey fought 16 ring battles last! year and scored 13 knockouts. One of these, with Arthur Pelkey, went fifteen rounds; two of them ended in the sixth, Carl Morris and Bill Bren men being the victims, but eight were abruptly finished in the opening round. In addition to the three men tioned pugilists. Dempsey scored knockouts on Fred Fulton. Jim Flynn. Tarky Flynn, Terry Kellar, Battling Levinsky and Gunboat Smith.

"Cooties, Prohibition and the Flu," All We Got From the War Just a moment before Don j Wertz, the phenomenal pitcher of Motive Power team, slammed out his homer last evening, winning his own game, two fans back of third base got into a fierce wrangle about what "America got out of the war." The heavy jowled, bulging eyed rooter maintained that wo saved democracy and the rest of the world, but he could not convince the more slender wild-eyed Bol sheviker who screamed at the top of his voice: "What did America get?
