'M PORTLAND, Feb. 2G. Kenneth
ifi Williams blow into Portland today
in from his homo in Grants Pass and an-
'M nounccd that be bad received a new
1 contract from the St. Louis Americans,
i ffl vesterday -which was entirely satis-
m factory to him. Ho signed it at once,
iM iM which takes him out of the class of
HI j- holdouts.
I A Kenneth and Byron Houck have rc
I '. ceived orders to report at the Browns'
ij training camp at Shrevoport, La.,
I ! March 10, which means that they will
! leave for the south one week from to
morrow. i Curiously enough, Williams trained
at this same park, which is inside a
I mile race track, when he was with the
i Cincinnati club. Fielder Jones, man
j ager of the Browns, expects to leave
j M Portland tomorrow or Thursday for SL
m Tho Cleveland club In a letter to
jjjl Garry Herrmann, forwarded to Judge
jf McCredie, admits that Portland has
if the best claim to Cliff Lee, and inti
j mates that it will be right with the In
m dian management if tho national com
)i mission decides it this way.
99 The final sentence of tho lotter
: H runs as follows: ."We have reached
Ijf the conclusion that the Portland club
MX has probably established a stronger
In moral right to Player Lee than can be
if claimed either by Cleveland or Mar
in shalltowri, regardless of the legal
ft'l phases of the case, and it will be en
83 tirely satisfactory to the Cleveland
club if the commission sees fit to roc
ycl ognize Portland's claim in this case."
2 Earlier in this letter Cleveland ad-
jf mits that it probably would not keep
Lu Lee as he lacks major league expert -M
ence. This information was gained
vil from Walter McCredie on his recent
im trip east and probably had something
Iffi to do with Cleveland's backing down
Mm on its claim. j

FULTON MAY HAVE
TO MEETDEMPSEY
Inevitably These Fighters Will
Have to Decide Who Shall
Meet Willard.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26 Fred Fulton
and Jack Dempsey, tho two survivors
of the semi-final trials In the heavy
weight pugilistic tournament, will in
evitably have to meet to decide which
man is to bo matched against the
giant Jess Willard with tho title at
stake.
Fight promoters from all parts of the
country are tonight bidding for the
battle.
Fulton, by his victory over Frank
Moran, vindicated himself for the
sorrowful showing ho mado recently
in St Paul against Billy Mlske.
Dempsey, who has been termed tho
second edition of John L. Sullivan
since his spectacular rise in tho ring,
will bo brought to the final test in the
battle.
Billy Mlske, who gained a draw de
cision over Fulton, may claim another
match with tho giant before ho is
signed up with Willard. Miske can
also register a justified claim for a
bout with the Salt Lake City star.
Tho Dempsey-Fulton bout, although
not definitely arranged, will probably
come within the next month. Willard
can no longer avoid a clash with tho
winner.
Give Fulton Advantage.
Fulton would appear to have the ad
vantage over the Salt Lake man, but
the ease with which Dempsey has won
victory after victory in the ring can
not be underestimated. Fulton has
been fighting for a long time and has
the advantage of experience, while
Dempsey, practically a newcomer, will
be hampered by his limited amount of
ring experience.
Tho match will probably be sched
uled for at least twenty rounds.
Dempsey Is not a scientific fighter.
He hits straight from the shoulder in
much the same manner that charac
terized tho career of John L. Sullivan.
It is this straightforward punch that
has won him the name of the second
edition of Sullivan.
"WAIT TILL I GET
STARTED," SAYS JACK
CHICAGO, Feb. 26. "Why do they
make such a fuss over me?- If it is be
cause of my -victory over Bill Brennan,
then I say just wait until I hit my
stride."
Jack Dempsey, the Utah man who
conquered Bill Brennan in six rounds
at Milwaukee last night, made this
statement here this afternoon.
"I am not at my best just now,"
Dempsey said. "I have been ill and am
just getting back in form. I will show
a lot better when 1 perform against
Fred Fulton and his fate will be that
of Brennan.
"They say Jess Willard is too big for
me. but I am sure I can hit him and
I question his ability to take a stiffer
licking than Brennan did."
Dl-mpsoy is hopeful of meeting Fred
Fulton in Milwaukee May 1 and elim
inating the last obstacle between him
self and Willard. Milwaukee promo
ters are confident that the Fullon
Dempsey match will be arranged.
GIANTS TRY TO HURRY
THE HOLDOUT PtAYERS
NEW YORK, Feb. 26. The New
York National league club is making
a strong effort to get holdout players
to sign contracts before the start of
the training season. Georgo Burns,
outfielder, came to New York today
at President Hempstead's invitation
and signed a contract after a two-hour '
conference.
Manager McGraw of the Giants will
leave New York tomorrow to make
visits to Norfolk, Va., Louisville, Ky.,
Collinsville, 111., and Shreveport, La.,
in which cities he will endeavor per
sonally to get the signatures of play
ers Robertson, Schuppe, Fletcher and
Peritt. all of whom had returned un
signed contracts.
Pitcher Sallee, also a holdout is expected-
to sign tomorrow after tele
graphic negotiations.

HOWARD HAS A
SPLENDIDLI1UP
Prough, Middleton and Men
sor Recently Signed by, Oak
land Manager.
SAN FRANCISCO, Fob. 26. Del
Howard is fast rounding tho Oaks
into shapo. Today ho did a big day's
business, for he signed Bill Prough,
Roxy Middleton and Eddie Monsor.
Tiny Goodbrcd is away down InMayo,
Florida, and has not been heard from,
but word Is expected soon. Harry
Krauso is In San Francisco, and is
expected to sign his contract, for ho
has made no kick on tho ono sub
mitted to him. Speed Martin will
also drop into line, so tho Oaks will
start with a high -class heaving corps.
Sammy Beer is working at Artaga,
Cat, and ho is doing so well that ho
may decide to stay thoro this year
instead of acting as relief pitcher for
the Oaks again. Sammy has no kick
to make on tho contract sent him, but
he likes his job In tho northorn part
of tho state and may pass up baseball
this season.
The Oaks need a catchor, but Del
Howard is not worried at all and says
he will havo two good ones on the
job by game time. It Is reported that
Danny Murray hurt his. hand In, his
fight with Casey Smith the last clay
of the season and that ho may havev
to retire from baseball. Carl MItze
was givon his unconditional release
at the close of last season, but he may
conclude to take another chance If
asked. He added a lot of strength
to tho Oaks after he joined them.
There is a dispute between the Oak
land and Pittsburgh clubs as to the
ownership of Bill Stumpf that has
not yet been settled. Pittsburgh
bought Bill from the Spokane club,
but the Oaks hold that Spokane had
no right to sell him. Naturally Bill
would rather play In the National,
league than come back to the Oaks,
and even if it is decided that he be
longs to Oakland, he may bo hard
to get into line.
Rube Gardner is working' at Pitts
burgh and will bo lato in reporting.
"Pop" Arlett is going to forget all
about pitching this year and devote
Ins entire time and attention to play
ing in the infield.
The place of Capt Rod Murphy at
third base will be a hard ono to fill
rnd if Billy Lane goes into the array,
ho too, will be missed.
On ttre whole, Howard starts with
a pretty strong organization and fi
gures that he needs only a little patch
ing to make it a contender

OGDEN Ml DEFATS
WEBER COLLEGE AT
BASKETBALL
It was fight versuB tradition at tho
high school last night, and, inasmuch
as tradition to some oxtent was retro
active, tho high school players having
an unpleasant tradition of their own,
fight defeated tho Wobor Academy
basketball flvo 22 to 18. For sLx
years, tho entire term of these Inter
school contests, Weber has succeeded
In carrying off annual victories. But
according to high sentiment, last
night's gamo abundantly make up for
all tho previous defeats. Hilarity
reached such a high pitch last night
that today tho high school Is wrapped
In deep, benignant peace, a peace of
happy recollections.
Fight did It The high school toam
came from behind at the beginning
of tho second half, got the lead, and,
headed again, forced tho score back
to a tie. In tho succeeding flvo
minute play-off it was all high school.
Clark, the tall center, tossed both the
baskets which meant victory tor his
team, but his four colleagues woro
nil over th'e floor, smothering Web
ster's game and desperato attempts
to wiii out, making phenomenal stops
and passes, keeping the ball the en
tire Uvq minutes in Ogden's half of
the floor.
Both 'earn;; played beyond their
form and if an; ?tirs stood out above
tV-ir companions they wero the lival
guards. Richards and Lindsoy Both
had their men guarded to tho limit,
Wh stopped many a quick dash to
the basket, both wore always Mactly
where they should have been. Through,
played by the high school, against tho
more open and more individual tac
tics of their opponents. Clark had
somewhat the better of it at the
Jumps; between the forwards there
was little to choose. The Weber boys
were the more accurate in thoir shots
at the basket, but superior speed and
more certain playing for position gave
tho high school moro chances to score,
and this, in the end, overcame the
handicap of superior accuracy.
One personal foul was called, but
there was little unnecessarj' rough
ness. In a game of this sort, between
schools of traditional rivalry, there
is bound to bo peppery work. It Is
to the credit of both schools that the
panio was clean. Both teams were
out to win, and both fought hard to
the end. but tho balance of fight was
in tho favor of tho high school.
