Bt TTjutso Partes! (BrR C HAMILTON.) NTW TOR1C April 16. "I'm In thJt thing quits by accident, I can assure yon, but don't make any mistake: Th?r won't be any accident about the way we rut It over." Thst's how "ol. Joseph C. Miller, the new Tex Rlekard. feels about promoting the world's heavyweight championship scrap he's going- to pull off next July 4. Col. Miller 1s & counterpart of Tex F.ickard In straight-forwardness nd square dealing. Ha use the same irrawj ef the-plain when he speak. It would l' easy to shut ones eyes and imagine that Tex himself had caught a fast boat and beat 1' back to the Vntted Stares
from South America in flrder to cut an-i other nick lt his record as a promoter of great bouts. "I came durned near not ruttln' this thin? across." Col. Miller confided In a I
recent talk. "Only the intervention of a r.ports writer in Kansas City saved the day. J'ike Collins almost gummed It ail up with hi old talk about 140,009. "T'see. 'twas liUe thiit. When I came n an agreement with AYillard t told .Teas I believed Fulton would Jump at a chance to light even f.r nothing-. Fir. I wouldn't export him to, and told WillArd so. I told Jess I believed we should iive Fn!;on at least $!'". oriij. That suit
ed Jess. 'G'i ahead and do as you
please,' be told me. fo I crawled on a train and went out to Kansas City. "When I met Mik Collins he up and asked me right away for $4" 001 and there ho stuck for a nhil. Finally he came down to $81,000. and then rut h'.s demand to $ !i . 0 0 n . I told him I wouldn't budge an Inch and Mike said he wouldn't. It seemed we would have to call the whole thing tiff. "1 nese Pempsey fellows were hangir.' around and they wanted me to match Pempsey with AVillard. hut T to'd them I had started out to match Willsrd and Kul'on and If 1 couldn't do that I would wash my hands of the whole business Mike went and bought hlsself s ticket to Minneapolis, pail h'-s hM bill, and started out of town, and then the newspaper mon or me to tho rescue. I offered $15,100 as a last minute concession, but Collins wouldn't listen to 1. He had stert-d to the train wiin I raised It to $20,000. The newspaper man suggested that if Collins was so derned sure Fulton could beat W'lllard maybe we could make a little bet of $5,000. l couldn't do that, of cours-. but Willard Jumped at the chance, and the articles were signed. "I've got 'cm In my pocket and I'm koing to stage that fight Just as I signed the men fair end square, and it's goins: to be the biggest bout the country ever saw."

Start to Play Under Unique i
Conditions; Collins in Game.
Baseball makes its formal IMS bow to the American public in Chicago and' five other major league ciMea today, under conditions that are absolutely unique. With the United States actively engaged in the world's greatest war, after a year of preparation, baseball men cf high and low degree have come to realize that the only game really worth while is being fought out desperately over there, and have found their nation's pastime transformed into s side show, which owes its concession to the country's need for enlerta'nment and distraction from the tragedies of the real game. It is up to the diamond performers, therefore, to extend themselves at ail times to supply this need for diversion and amusement, gracefully accepting the conditions which relegate them to a position subordinate to the heroes who wear the uniform of soldier or sailor. The ball plsyers owe their best service-? this year pot to their managers or club owners !one, 1?ut ti that public which needs to be entertained. Beat Barrier in Two Cities.
