The man slated to lie the first
to meet Champion Jess willard
probably will be Fred Fulton, a
giant from Rochester, MINI.
Willard has signed for a fight in
New Orleans in March. and Full
ton is being groomed as his oppo-
nent. 1t will be Wizards first
fight since he knocked out Jack
Johnson.
Fulton is something of a new
conner, but has advanced rapidly,
mainly through use of long arms
and legs that make 1t possible
for him to keep opponents away
from him and a terrific wallop.
Fulton has the longest reach
Of any man in the ring. When
his arms are spread out he spans
"a 1-2 inches. Willard had the
biggest reach until Fulton came
in. He spans 83 Ia inches.
The Rochester man measures
6 feet, 4 inches and weighs 220.
Willard measures feet, 8 in
ches and weighs 243. Fulton
10 whale of man, but the only
thing he has on the champion Is
reach.
The best information regarding
Fulton's punch comes from tho
report that he floored Art Pelgy
10 times In a recent bout. Prior
to that he knocked out Jack Mo-
ran, Jack Lewis and Tim Logan.
None OF them is star perform
er. Fulton claims to have upset
Willard in an exhibition bout at
Rochester last spring.
The next bout In which the new
big heavy will figure will be with
Andre Anderson at. Mfiwaukee,
Nov. IT. His manager, Mike Col.

NEXT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION
MAY COME FROM AUSTRALIA

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The
next heavyweight ring champion
is liable to come from Australia,
the country that produced ole
heavyweight champion = Bob
Fitzsimmons, and other good
fighters.
The prospect is Les Darcy, the
youngster who knocked all the
stars of Australia cold, then
startled Fistiana by knocking out
Eddie McGoorty and followed
with victory-over Jimmy Clabby.
First Darcy was heard of as a
lightweight. In short time he
was middleweight. He is grow
ing so rapidly it is said his career
in the middle division although
short, is about at an end. Accord
ing to reports he can no longer
make the middleweight limit and
retain all his steam.
Darcy is only 10 and II Is hard
to tell where he will stop in the
matter of weight. 1t is predicted
that he will be heavyweight
even before fans of the United
States get a chance to see him
perform.

Baron Reu- ter long nursed an idea for organizing the supply of foreign news in identical terms to all the newspapers, but edi- tors gave him no encouragement. At last he determined to risk things, and arranged with correspondents all over Europe. When their messages began to come in he took them round person. ally to the newspaper offices and of- fered them for nothing, on condition that his name should be printed against them. ''Try them for von month," he urged.

 The council also passed to it's fishing the position of deputy street missioner, to aid the collector in serving the notices and collectine the taxes, to help the commissioner handle tho workers, and to do such other work as is necessary The salary for the deputy commissioner is placed at $75 per month.
