Kid Julian: Syracuse feather,
weight. came to Gotham recently and
proceeded to clean up. When he stopped
young Teddy Hubbs. the Pittsburgh
feather. who had made quite local
| record for himself. the critics began to
sit up and take notice of the newcomer.
But the real raving started when Julian
knocked Joe Coster out in less than
three rounds.
Let it be known that Coster is no
sucker for anybody He is a fairly clever
boxer. with an educated left hand that
has stopped the winning streaks of many
youngsters. But Julian paid little at
tention to Costers jabs. and when thor
oughly warmed up sailed into Joe for
keeps, with the result that it was all over
before the gong sounded for the finish
of round three.
Local sharps agreed that a brilliant
future was in store for Julian. He looked
to them like 'comer"-in fact. to have
already arrived. However. his fame was
short lived. Martin Julian. his manager
took the boy to Rochester the other
night to pick up a little soft money. but
it didn't pan out exactly the way plan
ned. Instead of getting the big end of
the purse the Kid" was put away by
some hitherto unheard OF pugilist. Joe
Goldberg.
Julian looks as If he might make a

between the tar baby and Jeanette,

far as fighting is concerned.
Johnny Coulon celebrated his return
10 the ring by holding the clever frankie
Burns to a ten-round draw. Pretty good
work for the bantam champion after his
long lay-off Burns Ia the first classy
boxer Johnny has tackled in almost
year. and. everything considered, his
showing was a creditable one.
But Coulon will have to show consfd
cradle improvement I'm the coming match
with Kid Williams. Williams Is very
different type Of scrapper from Burns.
frankie is content as a rule to stand on
and box prettily. The kid is one Of
those aggressive youngsters who is busy
every minute. always on top of his man
and with the strength of a young bull.
Williams fights more the style /, Of
Terry McGovern than any other boy now
before the public. But the kid lacks
the terrific punch with which Terry laid
low SO many opponents.
