New Haven, C'onn., with the balance considerably In favor of the western city, according to present: indications.

Colonel Joseph C. Miller, who matched the ponderous mitt wielders, is sei iously considering becoming the one and only commander-in-chief of the forces who will stage the bout, and inclines to Denver because he believes ha can get sufficient local backing to make the affair a success.

Denver possesses two suitable places for the bout—one indoor etadium and a huge outdoor enclosure. The indoor spot has practically been passed up, so. If the bout goes to the mile high city, it undoubtedly will be in the Denver ba%eball park.

Col. Miller 'Favors "Mile High" Burg For Willard-Fulton Scrap July 4.

NVW YORK", April S—The world's championship heavyweight scrap between Jess Willard and Fred Fulton "will be held either in Denver, Colo., or

One.

This park is of major league proportions. It has a grandstand that can comfortably seat 10.000 persons with a small-sized bleachers. Around this could be erected temporary Keats to accommodate 15.000 or 20.000 more persons.

Colonel Miller is confident the attendance at the tight will amount to .just as many seats as he is able to group around the ring. Prices may have io be run up, he declared, to hold the attendance down to the capacity o* the arena. "I haven't talked a lot about offers," Colonel Miller said, "because a iot of small town offers have been mado simply to get advertising. This bout, isn't being auctioned off at all. In fact, I rather believe I want to do the whole thing myself with probably come local help."

NEW BASEBALL LINGO

In the past base ball has been compared with everything from a one-arm quilting bee to something foraged tty the cat. This year, with thousands of fans on the firing line, "the grand old game" will be affected by the war and base ball IS war. according to the musings of Connie Mack. Fans who have prided themselves on the synonymous vocabulary of base ball will have to begin all over again.- Here's few suggestive buzzes:

Players will go OVER THE TOP unless strapped In Pullman upper berths. NO MAN'S LAND will be the territory bounded on &U aides by tiie Texas league.

The BLIGHTY role will depend largely on the number of wild pit ihes.'

Players disagreeing with the umpires will join the AVIATION CORPS under Flight Capt. .l"hn J. Evers.

Anv player who swings three bats at once will be guilty of CAMOUFLAGE.

Pitchers will be subjected am usual to BARRAGE FIRE from the coaching boxes.

Lugs Own Bones Around

AH ball players believe in luck and most carry a talisman of some sort, but it remains for Forrest Cady, Mack's new big catcher, to carry around with him the strangest token of all. It is nothing less than two bones from his own body.

Last winter Cady was In a motor accident and had his shoulder broken in several places. Two pieces of bone were removed and now Cady is never without them. "They are a part of me or were," Cady explains, "and I'm only carrying them as near where thev belong as I can. My arm's as good as ever, although I thought for a time that I would never play ball again. Yet somehow 1 feel that if I lost those two little nieces of bone my arm would so back, oil me,"

Boxing Saves Yankee's

Life

When the army and navy officers introduced boxing into camps and en» gaged the best ring, talent to teacjh the boys, they knew its worth to a soldier.

Proof came from "otrer there" 'when the following message was received: "On February 19 a patrol of French and American soldiers went over the top to inspect the

German wire.

"They hadn't gone far when the Germans, surprising them, opened fire. The Yankees fell to the ground and returned the Are, forcing the Jiermans to retreat. "As they did our patrol followed. When the Germans were cornered and couldn't escape, ono turned and with his bayonet charged the oncoming Yankee. "Quick a* a flash the Yankea soldier put his "knowledge of boxing into play, and unable to use his own. struck with his right hand. It landed flush and knocked the German cold. Boxing saved this American boy's lifa."
