As soon as I ge: the right one over there will be & new world's, heavyweight ... champion and his name will be Fred Fulton." An extra large party bearing the name mentioned above breezed into Chicago and spent most of the day de scribing the various things he will do to the aforementioned Jess Willard when the two climbinto a New Or leans ring on March 4 to battle for the pugilistic crown of crowns. - . Bubbles With Optimism. "Willard's size will be-his only ad vantage, over me," . Fulton continued. "In everything else that goes to make a champion I have him beaten. I can Jiit harder, I can step about faster, and I know every bit as much about the fight game as he does.

I? he fails to make good his boast that he will win the world's title Rochester l robably will lose its favorite son. for Fred has told everybody- in the old town he will bring buck the bacon. Fulton expects to stop here for the rest of the week, then start a vaudeville tour south as a preliminary to his training, which does not expect to enter upon seriously for a month or more. "They save me a great sendoff down home, Fulton related, a big smile lighting his face. "Every one was down to see me off, shake hands, and wish me luck. They made roe feel so good I tcld everybody 1 wouldn't come back without the title. That will have to go now. I like Rochester, but 1 don't think I ever .could go back if I am licked. So I just can't lose, that's all.; - : ' Expects to Weigh 210. i ' Resuming his discussion of Willard, Fulton said: V .

Quinii. both ;at the Nev Year's bouts and at the Kapiolani park meet. The writer is always pleased , to talk w ith any lover of pport on any question and will always be ready to answer any statement made. The first point that came up during the conversation was that the friend of Quinn stated that the Sar-Bulletin had declared the bout on , New Year'a Day a fake. This wiw lUicklv "is proved by showing the pent Vroan. the article which fctated that bouts be i ween members -f the aame company are nut always ;. suctvfss. Because Quinn .outclasses Janokow&ki does not make it a fake. The article states that Quinn won easily, which he did. Chap lain Fealy fa working for the good of the game and he hasn't a reputation for fctaging fakes. . :. , Quinn Outclassed Opponent : A man might be outclassed by an other, and credit must be given Jan okowski. for stepping into the ring at the last moment and putting up the fight that-lie did. Quinu clearly show ed that he was the winner and it la to be hoped that the next bout that is staged will show sdhie one capable of giving Quinn a real battle. Regarding the Kapiolani meet the friend of Quinn said that the article stated that the time made in the niile was below "the standard of a high Hcbool meet. It was. The ruile was run in 5:20, which is slow time for a hiph scJickiI meet. When a high school boy step9 off a mile ur 4:30 it Is considered fast, but a majority of the high school runs are covered under 5 minutes. Three years ago a Portland high school had three milers on their team who could do 4:23. The writer has witnessed : many meets throughout the country and in all the time has always been better than 5 minutes for the mile run. A Strong Runner. Quinn has plenty of strength and should do better than 5 minutes with a good track on a good day. If. he can do 4:30 he will surely be a.-. wel come addition to Hawaii, but from the showing made at the meet last Sun day anyone who knows anything about tnck work could say that it was not well handled or a success in any way. The writer is always pleased to meet anyone; who has questions to ask on any sport subject, and is glad to have this opportunity to answer Mr. Quinn's friend and others who are interested in the. work of the Schofield athlete. In addition It might be well to say that Quinn has heaps of ability stored up, and the fact that he Is hoth clever in the ring and on. the cinder path shows the versatility of the Schofield man.' There are very few profession al milers in Hawaii, and there does not appear to be anyone who cair take his measure. The A. A. U. would not sanction a meeting between Quinn tfhd an amateur, so ; it is doubtful whether a mile race meeting could be arranged here.

By next week they will have the line-up of the team which will make the trip to the mainland. It is; certain that they will have a strong squad and will be in a position to give the Winged-0 players a good game. Baseball play ers and fans are waiting for the an nouncement of the final schedule with interest as the game would be a good one. V' :'..''' The Chinese Travelers have adver tised Honolulu more than any other aggregation of athletes that has repre sented Hawaii. On the mainland they know our athletics by the perform ances of Duke Kahanamoku and the Travelers. 12ach year the ball tessera from Hawaii play hundreds of games in every section of the country, and hundreds of thousands of people 4jave watched them play. ' . From California to Massachusetts and from Michigan to Texas the play ers are known, and inasmuch , as the people who watch them play are watching thera for hours, some kind of an impression is bound to be left. It is direct advertisnig. In addition to the games scheduled the players carry literature with them which goes into the right hands. :- -. From the standpoint of boosting Ha waii, the Travelers deserve a game with the Olympicsproviding tney win have no better team than the other clubs which are clamoring for games. When the question of their ability is raised, their perforaiances locally ana on the mainland ..would surely give them a chance at the Olympic team. Foster Robinson will be in the lox for the Travelers, ami the tourists should put up a game that would be. entirely. satisfactory to the fans.

Johnson will have little1 difficulty finding a buyer. Sinclair, the gent who is so careless with his rubles; is already mertioned as a possible buyer. Fielder Jones, before leaving for St. Louis to take over the command of the Browns, told McCredie that he would give him first chance ; to sign Art Kores, who . finished the season with the Feds. There was a lot of fun had at the expense of Col. Hedges, who sold the Browns for about a half million last week. Being always out of the race he was the butt of tcu? : joke-smiths. Still, he did this much good for base ball he was the first to banish bars from the grounds, and he did a lot to make baseball attractive for women. And as he entered baseball with. $30, 000 and left it with almost $500,000 he must have had some .business ability. Some of the lxs Angeles rooters are kind enough to boost Doc White fon the management of the Angels. Umpire Guthrie is not worrying about baseball peace or the high cost of porterhouse or anything like that During the winter hours he is pteam fitting back in Chicago, and , writes that hi3 worst week has netted him $5, and he has gone as high as $103.

It has been a death struggle with this organization to run as far as July 4. Properly managed and financed, it might be made a go.

California League "could operate as an outlaw League at reasonable salaries it might go. but it is doubtful if it will go sim ply as a farming ground for the Coast League. The fans resent warmed over baseball. . ' Now- they say that when Rober Ward died: the Federal League lost its mainspring.

Frank Moran, the Fittsburg heavyweight, erased all doubts of his ability to meet Jes3 Wil lard last evening when he knocked out Jim Coffey, the "Dublin Giant," In the ninth round of a 10-round con test Followers of Coffey, of .whom there werp many, were surprised at the showing made by Moran, and at the conclusion of the bout stated that the boxer from the Smoky City was the one logical opponent to meet Big Jess. -'- '.-. ' Moran excelled in his footwork, and time and again the Dublin man tried to land , a bay-raaker, but Moran was away in a flash. It was an exciting bcut from start to finish as Coffey was playing a rush game throughout the early, rounds. In the third round Coffee made, two vicious swings, but Moran deftly blocked them and after that kept away from the wild swings of the Dublin artist. Hands Haymaker. Coffey showed distress at the be ginning of the ninth, and when the gong sounded Moran tried to mix it, and 'after clinching and feinting, he finally landed a hard blow in Coffey's mid-section, and followed this with a swing to the jaw, which sent the Dub lin man down for the count. Moran's victory last night practical ly means a bout with Willard, as Tom-' my; Burns, who has taken the reins since Tortorich resigned from the Ful ton bout, has been anxious to stage a battle between Moran and Willard. For a time It was believed by many of the fight fans that Moran was not up to the standard of a challenger tut since his -recent defeats of Cof fey the fans are in favor of a match. Moran Wins Three. Moran has a good record during his career - in the ring, although he has fought- but few bouts. In Paris he held Johnson safe for 20 rounds and last year - defeated Bombardier Wells and George Sims in London via knock out route, and, sent Jim Coffey to slumberland in three rounds on Octo ber 19 in New Yorf Moran usually weighs in the neighborhood, of . 200 pounds in fighting condition. Coffey fought more bouts during 1915, and. has a good record for the year.; He has won by knockouts over Jack "Twin" Sullivan, Arthur Pelkey, Al Reich, Jim Flynn, Jack Reed and Gunboat Smith. He outpointed Carl Morris in ten rounds in New 'York. Coffey tops the 200-pound, mark. tion of sport followers is now given to the football situation at Yale. Many men have : been mentioned for the coaching berth, but- nothing- definite is expected until March. As the time for the decision draws nearer-the re port that Tad Jones, Exeter coach, will be chosen to handle the Btue, gains credence. In selecting Colgate as a substitute for Carlisle in the Thanksgiving Day football game, Brown University officials-have made a popular move.- Col gate now holds a lofty position in the intercollegiate football world and the New Yorkers will be a decided attrac tion.

"Silent" Tom Jones, marfager of Jess Willard, has been working over time creating enthusiasm for the W'il-lard-Fulton bout. He so forgot him self recently that he waxed enthusias tic over Fulton as, a fighter and pre dieted a $50,000 gate at New. Orleans. Jones was so excited he even forgot to predict Jess would win by the K. O. route. The New England magnates at least a few of them, are sore on Tim Murnane. He blocked the merger, they say. Too bad Tim didn't let them put it through and thus enable them to turn around and endeavor to oust him from his job as president.

Still, the newpomer has been forging to the front rapidly, is big and strong and he may spring" a surprise. Champs have been caught napping tefore when they counted on easy game, and Willard's victory over John sen was a glowing illustration of this.

' -Two Races Present Problem. One of the vexing questions regaid ing the selection of a champion id whether or not the- two 10) tniKi events staged at Chicago and New York should be taken into considera tion in making th award. They were invitation, not open, races, and two of the six leading drivers Anders . and O'Donnell did not participate in eith er. In fact, Resta was the only mem ber of the sextet to rompef in both contests. Cooper appearing oniy at Chicago and Rlckenbaeher a.u De Palma at New York. The majority of the critics are of the opinien that these two races should not aure In selecting the speedway king on t he ground that they were too exclusive. If the two invitation events are net considered Rlckenbaeher fun boast of more victories than an r other" driver laying claim ti the- titl?. He has tlitf e to his credit, while Rca, Arderjon. Cooper and De Palme -hive only one eaoh. There are critks. however, who dispute the Maxwell driver's clam to the title because he failed to win any one of the four so called major events the 500 mile races at Indium polls, Chicago and the Twin Citie3 ami th 350 mile chase for the Astor cup tt New York for each of which. 50,00tf or more in purses was hun up. Some of Solutions Suggested. The suggestion has been made that the speed waya be put ir. two divi sionsthe larger tracks at: Indianapo lis, New York and the Twin Cities be ing given major classification and' the one mile ovals at Omaha, Des Moines and Providence, the banked dirt track at Sioux City and - the reconstructed road racing course at Tacoma minor ranking and a champion selected for each! division. Under these condi tions and with, the two 100 mile races eliminated there is a tie for the cham pionship between Resta and Anderson, each of whom has a first and a sec ond.; Rlckenbaeher, however, is si preme in the minor division.
