FORTUNE'S HAND IS ON THE SOLO SPIGOT FOR THE ZULU KID

BV J. W. PEf.I-EB M nilnl Press Staff Correspondents 1 IjOXDOX. Nov. 18. (By Mail). K.i tune's hand Is on the spWot, ready j. turn on a golden stream for Young Zulu Kid. who Is scheduled to fight Jimmy Wilde for the world's flywfisrht championship in London I')e-c.-nrher IS. I:' Zulu can flatten the Tylortown Tfi'i-or there will be lucrative matches salore awaiting- the Brooklyn WopAfrican. If he can't turn the trick and nkpa a header himself, he will return home enriched by several strings wampum and the enlightenment of a trip abroad. The conqueror of Jimmy Wilde will ;ind the British boxing public a lavish p.itron. Just now none of the home sroivn partisans believe Zulu or any i,;icr flyweight can topple their idol. A draw would open Zulu's way to a campaign of bulky profits and the Invita.ble return match to a finish with GOLFERS TO DECIDE MPDRTANT ISSUES NEW YORK. Dec. 13. Kvery active club in the United States Golf association is urged to send a delegate to the annual meeting of the association here Jan. 12. in a letter sent out by Howard F. Whitney, secretary of the association. Mr. ' Whitney instructs the clubs that matters of "vital impmtance" need careful consideration, anil that it is essential to the sport that every club be represented, so that the question over the present amateur rules may be thrashed out to a final and definite conclusion. "So much has been printed on Nils subject in the newspapers and golfing press that Is wholly unfair and without foundation." the letter reads, "and so much has appeared in other literature that has reached the clubs in the association that was untrue, inaccurate, and disingenuous, that a thorough understanding of the whole matter cannot be had except by attendance at the meeting and consideration of the entire discussion thorv to be presented." Besides the amateur question, the delegates will be asked to vote upon the courses which have been suggested f-r the three annual tournaments. Five

Wilde.

Jimmy insisted on elaborate stipulations for the- three-minute round when he signed on the dotted line for the Zulu match. "I 'boxed a dub a Ionic time ro," he said, "and the timekeeper walloped the old dish-pan every two minutes. Every time I had my man on the verge of the biff dive, 'bang!' went the dinner-gong-and he got a rest. Never ag-ain for me. Three minutes is just the right space in which to hanK on the finish to-uch and get In the full count. The Welsh harp hasn't been boxing much of late He keeps In condition by a regular course of calisthenlc stunts and spars for exercise, however, and does not believe It will be necessary to grind himself into shape for the Zulu fight. Wilde la a good golfer and spends the annual sunny afternoon on the links near London. He Is still waiting to play this year's round. Report a Lean Year in Minors. The baseJball scouts of the big league clubs, who have completed their annual reports for the year, are almost unanimous in declaring that the general run of material in the bush leagues last season was below the caliber of previous years and that few players were uncovered who showed promise of making good in the major leagues without a long drawn out polishing process by working up through the various minor j leagues. j iTiubs. all in the west, are in line Fur the national amateur event.

NEW OB I BELL(By United Press,) PEORIA. 111.. Dec. 8. Harry Frazee, new owner of the Boston Red Sox, world's champion baseball club, got his start to fame much the same as did Joseph J. Lannin, la,te owner of the club. It was in this city years and years ago that Frazee, as a boy, worked in the old Peoria hotel as a bell-hop. Frazee was a good bell-hop and a reputation that clings with him to this day was established among the patrons. Hopping bells in the Feoria hotel, however, didn't last very long, for Frazee Jumped his job and went over to a bill-posting company, where he also became expert. His bill posting mado him a habitue of local theaters, and ambition Just naturally pushed him along until ho finally landed a Job with a burk-sque company as a "banner man," one of the bill posters who is second in advance work. Frazee's climb to fortune started soon after that. He saved his money until he had enough to procure an interest in "Maloney's Wedding Day," and promoted himself shortly afterward to fame when he became connected with "Uncle Josh Spruceby" and "Uncle Josh Simpkins." Further running arourjd the country with an occasional venture in uncertain theatrical productions finally landed him in Chicago, where he opened Lateral Pass j a Risky Play, j Many have tried the lateral pass this year and last 'but few have found it uniformly successful. It takes too long to execute it, and very oftn the team using it is trapped into big losses. The play, of course, is to pass to one man, a forward pass to anothcx and a second forward pass to the final man whois to receive the ball. It's a piFlty play to watch when executed perfectly, but very often he second man, while posing himself for a throw to the third, is tackled from behind or in front, and instead of gaining ground, loses on the play. . zawwwsm - I 1 1 S- Ul

It has been his ambition, he recently declared to a friend who lives here, to own a .baseball club. He always has been interested more or less In sports, and was largely responsible for the fact that Jess WTilard won the world's heavyweight championship from Jack Johnson. He invested heavily in the promotion of the bout, afterward saying he did It solely to bring the championship back to a white man. Frazee also financed the world tour of James J.
