League Hard Matter to Dope Out.
What's the matter with Stun no.
Innis?
Why was in waived out or the
American Leaguot .
At present McInnIs is the big ques—
tion mark of tho baseball world.
Stulry Meiosis has Joined the Boo-
ton Braves. He will add much
strength to that club.
Playing with the Braves ho will
help the prestige of the National
Leonie in that city. where American
Loaguo popularity has
shot to pieces.
Report has it that Molnnis was
waived out at the American League
because no club believed he was worth
89,000 a your. Incidentally that be-
lief cost Molnnts a cool 810.000.
it such is the truth, it looks as it
a number of Amorican League clubs
will suitor as the result of such a
penurious policy. Several teams could
use him to advantage.
it would seem that the st. Louis
Browns would have gone the limit.to
get Mclnnis. with the condition or
Sislcr still an uncertainty. For a
time St. Louis bid for Mclnnls. then
suddenly terminated negotiations.
\‘thn Molnnis consented to bo
transferred to Cleveland. it is under-
'stood that the Boston club agreed to
pay him a bonus of 05.000 for three
years. Mclnnis sought to get the
bonus in a lump sum.
it was pointed out. to him that such
a thing was unnecessary to protect
his interests, since there was no
chance or him getting away from tho
American League during that limo.
Such an argument seemed logical,
Melnnis foil for it. One year later
every American Leagus club waives
on him and he is given his uncondi-
tional release. That 0! course de-
prives him of tho 810.000 which
Owner Fresco of tho Boston club
agreed to pay him.
Mclnnis is still a corking good play-
er. tar irom through. It would room
that 15 years of loyalty to the Amer-
ican Lcas'uo failed to receivo its prop-
cr rcward 'in an unconditional release.
The Mclnnis case is certainly the
big question mark 0! baseball from

Fulton was tottering on the verge of

Indeed. with tho tight well in hand.
Johnson was clipped with a right on
tho Jaw in tho last minute or the
twolfth round and FIOYC seemed
primed for tho killing. He pulled him-
self together before the bell and Ful-

Fulton was dropped in the first
round as Johnson flayed him like a
man posse-ed, but to show his con-
tempt tor tho youngor tellow he got
up without taking the count.
Thero was no questioning Fulton's
courage last night. Rocking under
ceasless punishment. like some great
troo in a storm. he stuck to his guns.
Johnson's plan or bottle was a rush-
ing fight. With the beginning of each
round ho would leap from his chair
and cross tho ring in bounds to meet
the slow moving “innosota giant. He
was lighting (or his chance at Willard
and ho hover wavered. Ho took Ful-
ton’s hardest cracks to tho Jaw and
didn't buckle. Ho won becauso‘hs was
always carrying tho tight to Fulton.
Tho vory pace that Johnson set
seemed to overwhelm Fulton, who
might have knocked out the Iowa boy
had he set a paco himself. Johnson
was on him so often and relentlessly
that Fulton was forced to dedtend
his head and body instead of picking
off his man.
