FULLER BULL
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT?The Empire's pur- -
pose is to give its readers the best obtainable service
?to secure the best there is for its thousands of
readers. In" furtherance of this purpose it has signed
a contract for the great comedy strip, "P0LL\ AND
HER PALS,'V the famous cartoon by Cliff Sterett.
This has reached The Empire's office, but like 'Fuller
Bull," it came as a matrix and cannot be used in its
present form until the casting box, which has been
ordered, arrives. With these two famous comedy
cartoons The Empire believes that it has secured
two of the best things in the newspaper feature
market.

necessary apparatus reaches here. Our readers will
have only a few days to wait?a week at most.

This was written by Miss Janis her- !

Bosworth. It tells the story of n i
girl who breaks her engagement
with u real Westerner to become the
wife of a real Knglish I^ord. Hut she
doesn't finally?although she comes
very near. There is plenty of com
edy throughout, in fact two-thirds '
of the play is comedy of an inter
esting type. It is well staged and
Miss Janis has a good cast. Tills
bill will be repeated again tonight.
"Via Wireless" did a good busi
ness at the Coliseum last night. Tills
play has been well received in the
States and the plot and the people
in it preceded the production to
Juneau. Bruce McRae aud GaM
( Kane have the feading parts. There
is plenty of comedy throughout and |
'just a little pathos. Thrills?plenty
of them, including the shipwreck
?scene. There is only one thing
that can't be understood. The ;
heroine, is standing waist deep in

Kallio Not An Option.
Bill IIuHoy says there in no
truth in the report that Pitcher Kal
lio wan with the Great Palls club
tinder an optional agreement. I It
has letters and telegrams to show
that the only agreement he had with
the Oakland club was to give that
club one-half of the money re
ceived in ease the player wan sold
or drafted. There is nothing con
trary to the rules in such an agree
ment, and Bill showed good Judge
ment in getting a good pluyer just
when he needed players badly.
Doesn't Like Tacoma.
Bill Leard will not be with the
Tacoma club next year for he is
rather soured on that town. It Is
hard to understand why Bill was
allowed to get out of the Coast
League, especially as Salt Lake
needed Inflelders. Bill is still a
good ball player and without ciues
tion he plays a better second base
than Frank tiulgni or Herb Mur
phy, both of whim were tried by
Cliff Blankenshlp. On a winning
team Bil Iwould hold up his end.
for he Is wideawake and is not
afraid to tnfto a chance whdu tak
ing a chance counts the most.
WELSH-WHITE FIGHT
MUCH TOO TAME
Freddie Welsh :s still lightweight
champion of the world, ..but the
light he put up to defend that title
last Monday at Colorado Springs,
lacked u' lot of pleasing the specta
tors, according to advices received
In Juneau yesterday.
Welsh and Charlie White clinched
and stalled and waltzed through 20
rounds and the principal damage
done was to the sports who nald
good money to see the uffalr.
Reports sent out rroin the ring
ni?lo were that White won llfteon
of the rounds; Welsh won one and
the rest were even. Then the Hash
was sent: WELSH WINS.
Fine tenni work.
Hilly Roche of Now Vork was the
referee and when he was named,
White's lrlends said that Welsh had
an ace in the hole, and (hat While
would have to knock the champion
out to beat him. Now they are sure
or It.
At the end of the twentieth round
Referee Kocho stood in the center
of the ritiK a few seconds as If un
decided what to do. Then he reach
ed out both hands towards the box
ers. Welsh grabbed his hand as If
preetiiiK a lonj; lost brother return
ed from the wars, and Roche lifted
the champion's hand on high in to
ken of victory.
Crowd Gets After Referee.
Welsh's friends crowded into the !
ring to congratulate him, while I
White's backers hurled cushions at j
the red head of Billy Roche. Their
control was faulty and he wns not
hit often, lie was rushed through
the crowd to an automobile, which
raced up the back streets to his
hotel. Some men and boys chased
the machine but could not catch
it.
J?d. W. Smith, a- sport writer- of
Chicugo. who wns the stakeholder of
the match, sent out next morning
that White lind a wonderful chance
to win the championship in the thir
teenth round, but that he failed to
toliow his advantage and now lie
probably will never win the crown.
Referring to that one big moment
of the light, Smith writes:
White Has One Big Chance.
"Charley White of Chicago was
within a ffw inches of the world's
championship. All lie had to do
reach out and take it away from
Freddie Welsh in the thirteenth
round of their twenty-round battle.
He didn't do it and as the contest [
sifted along that onco-in-a-lifctlme.
chance nifted away from Charley,
gono probably forever.
"In that nearly fatal thirteenth
round, Welsh, weak and tired, wob
bly and all hut on the verge of col
lapse, looked ns if lie might be
knocked over and Into the has-been
class by any good strong feather
weight.
"White, one of the most power
ful hitters in the division, if indeed
lie Is not the greatest puncher of
them all, stood off and looked Welsh
over.
"Welseli cleared the cobwebs from
his bralh, chased all the owls away
und took a couple of lungfuls of
thin mountain air, Mc never be
fore was called upon to so thorough
ly muster every one of. those won
derful resources of his and do it
quickly and effectively. The cham
pion's master mind worked light
lightning. Ills knees wehe sagging
and tired, the gloves heavy as lead
and he probably ached terribly?
but there was nothing the matter
in the upper story.
"That's where the Welsh class
came to the rescue and where
White's failure to instantly take ad
vantage a wonderful opportunity
passed on down the street after
knocking vigorously at the front
door.
"Itefore that and after that Welsh ;
was there with everything that
goes to stnmp a lighter the best m?n j
In his class. White fought hard but
Welsh was much too tricky and con
siderably too fast for him."
