"NATURAL” FALLS TO PROMOTER RICHARD By DAVIS J. WALSH (By International News Service) NEW YORK, May 16.—Richard's luck, they call it, but any man with an eye to accuracy would know it under a dozen names—ability, Acumen, initiative. In signing Willard and Firpo, Rickard once more has fallen prey to "natural," a fight that needs no exhortation. Some other promoter might have linked up this great money-maker but did not. Why? Rickard's luck, according to medicrities and failures. Smart businessman however, acknowledge the promoter's reputation for making money for those with whom he is associated. "I listened to other promoters," Willard said in his slow, careful way, after signing, "but when it comes to a question of signing articles, for a fight, I do business with Tex Rickard." That Rickard's "luck" has found another gold mine, in the meeting of this pair, cannot be doubted. Willard, because of his tremendous bulk, is always interesting. Further than that, his popularity has become great because mass psychology is always with the man attempting a comeback. They like to look at Firpo for other reasons, of which curiosity is uppermost. His popularity needs no unnatural stimulus such as Willard's.

Up to the 8th inning the score was 5 to 4 in favor of Whittler. The umpire quit and in the last period the Poet City coach umpired.

President McCarthy was wise enough to hold the "big five" down with the "little three." The public should be tired of the squabblings of this bunch of would-be big business men. They have been and are acting like a bunch of bull headed kids. The big row right now is "who owns the Seattle Clubs?" Lockhart and Killifer claim they do. Why don't they prove it? William Wrigley, Jr., one of the millions, claims that it is an insult to his good name to be asked the simple question: "Is any of your millions involved in the purchase of the Seattle Club?" Mr. Wrigley, Jr., is derned easily insulted. Baseball is kept up by the public and as such the public has rights. The public has a right to know who owns the Seattle club. If Mr. Wrigley has no connection with the deal, he should be willing to prove to the public that he has not. In the field of sports we like to see a square deal, men who will lay their cards on the table face up. We do not question Mr. Wrigley's integrity but why stall around. Why don't he step out and prove his position? Big Jess Willard is the talk of the town. He was big enough to stand all Floyd Johnson could give and then some. The comeback was remarkable for one of Willard's age, but Johnson was able to hit him at will and can the big boy stand real punching? The coming Firpo scrap should prove Willard's ability to stand punishment. Firpo is a rugged, brute fighter, a part of whose great blows are sure to reach through Willard's weak spots. If Willard can stand the blows then he has a chance with Jack, the giant killer. Dempsey may not be the same killer he was in Toledo four years ago. Jack has not fought and while FULLERTON FAILS TO APPEAR FOR GAME Fullerton girls baseball team failed to show up yesterday afternoon to play Orange in a league fray. The game was postponed from Thursday Coach Porter of Orange however did not want to call it a forfeit and so agreed to play this evening. Marlowe Janss of Anaheim acted as referee and could hav called the game a forfeit if satisfactory to coaches. Anaheim's only chance of winning the county title depends upon whether Orange or Fullerton wins the game. Anaheim has only one defeat and Fullerton none. Anaheim and Orange play tomorrow. A. H. S. REPRESENTED AT PASADENA MEET Anaheim H. S. will be well represented at Pasadena Saturday at the annual girls field day. At least 20 schools from the south will be represented. Coach Irene Jacques will send her fast baseball club. A tennis team will also display its stuff. Entering will be Margaret Loranger, Marian Watts, Mae Requarth and Helen Daly. A duet of boy racquet wielders, Hugh Kiler and Gilbert Gilmore, will show their wares. LUNCHEON CLUBS TO PLAY THREE GAMES The first of a three game series between Anaheim Kiwanians and Rotarians will be played on the local high school field at 5 o'clock Thursday. The Kiwanians challenged Cap. Eddie Schneider's flashes. The losers will stand for a feed. Baseball fans are invited. SCOTT MOVES TO 128 EAST CENTER ST. Harry E. Scott consummated a deal yesterday whereby he secured a desirable location for his offices at 128 E. Center Street. He purchased the grocery stock of the Anaheim Produce Market and the lease of the premises. The goods will be sold at once and the place remodeled and elaborately fitted up for Mr. Scott's new offices. He has been negotiating on several occasions that followed. FIRCE BATTLE OF WORDS AT COUNCIL Woof! Wooff!! Help!!! Police!!!! That is the way things looked for awhile last night at the regular weekly meeting of Fullerton Trustees, when a fierce battle of words raged across the council table between L. P. Drake, trustee, and S. W. Miller, who was making a complaint about waste water blocking the way to his home in the southeastern part of the city. Miller said that the street was so bad that he could not get home in his machine. Drake said it was all because the property owners there would never agree on any improvement plan, that Miller had always been the stunning block on any plan proposed, and intimated that he was now reaping his just deserts. He said he didn't care how Miller got home, but he did want to get together on some improvement plan whereby that district could be trained of the surplus water. It was finally agreed that a temporary plan of relief would be instituted today whereby the citizens of that vicinity would be relieved, and then a permanent plan would be worked out. Then Miller and Drake buried the lattice. Hugh Miller appeared before the Board in behalf of the Fullerton realtors and requested that a change be made in the present sub-division laws whereby the subdivider would have to install all improvements within three months, present limit being a year. This was loudly objected to by L. P. Drake, trustee, and other trustees also, who said this would make it so that only the wealthy could subdivide. In the discussion that followed, F. Heinzlaubich, city cork, suggested that a change be made whereby the subdivider would have to pay for the installation of water pipes before the pipes were installed, saying that he did not like to be collection agency as at present. A motion was made to this effect, and it is planned to put the limit on improvements for Anaheim later. markable for one of Willard's age, but Johnson was able to hit him at will and can the big boy stand real punching? The coming Firpo scrap should prove Willard's ability to stand punishment. Firpo is a rugged, brute fighter, a part of whose great blows are sure to reach through Willard's weak spots. If Willard can stand the blows then he has a chance with Jack, the giant killer. Dempsey may not be the same killer he was in Toledo four years ago. Jack has not fought and while outwardly the same he may have lost some of his vitality that made him so great four years ago. ST. JOSEPH WINS St. Joseph's Academy boys deteated the Junior H. S. team 11 to 9 last evening in a hotly contested fray. A rally in the last innig broke the 9 to 9 score. George Russek knocked a two-bogger, allowing two players to reach home. George Russek and Johnny Escovedo team pitched and played first base for the winning team. Plain Dealer Want Ads Get Results.
