Fulton shows Some Glass.
Fred Fulton, the Minnesota giant,
who has been working his way TO
the top of the ladder the past year,
made quite hit with the boxing
fans Of the middle west. when he put
Andre Anderson, the big Chicago
SWede to sleep in four rounds at the
Milwaukee auditorium a few nights
ago Fulton has been accused of meet
ing nothing but dubs the past year,
but II is certain that he has been going
against some big men, and while these
were not of the first class, they were
tough enough TO give him a thorough
trying out
Arthur Pelkey, while never consid-
cred a star, was always looked upon
as a tough proposition for anv of them.
Fred certainly gave him severe beat
ing IN their first ten round bout, and
then knocked him out in their sec
ond, in five rounds Terry Kellar
mas had number Of very good fights
and gave Jim Coffey battle for nine
rounds. Still. Fulton knocked him
cold in four rounds.
Knocks Out Anderson.
Anderson was touted highly by the
Chicago press and while he was not a
finished fighter, he was fast for a
big man and carried a good wallop.
which was demonstrated when he put
Fulton down in the first round OF their
contest. In fact. during the first three
rounds, Anderson made a splendid
showing In the fourth round. how
ever. Fulton who had been playing for

Seems to Have Punch.
There were a number OF fight critics
at the rinsside, all the Chicago pa
Ders being represented. and eTe-y one
Of them agreed that Fulton showed
that ne HIS the punch and also enough
lass to be set against Jess Willard
n a title match OF course il would
be a better proposition probably, If
Fulton and Frank Moran, or even Jim
1Offey, could fight it out. as these two
are considered to be about the best
leavyweights in the country. How
ever, Fulton himself is Of the opinion
hat he is good enough TO meet Jess
Nillard right now. He cannot get the
thought out of his head that he is the
better man, because he claims he
