NEW HEAVYWEIGHT LOOMS UP
AS WIZARDS POSSIBLE RIVAL
Fred Fulton of Minnesota Is the Man, and He
Is Said to Have Knocked Down the Worlds
Champion in an Exhibition Bout,

boxing promoters at the head of the
organiza ton: in fact, the object is to
have outsiders in the official capacities
of president, secretary and also board
of directors. This would do away with
the claim that the promoters were only
in there for selfish motives. 1t is also
the intention of those back of the
movement to give the boxer just as
fair a show as the promoters. but there
is no denying that regulation is badly
needed in the boxing game. 1t is the
only sport without a parent OrSaniZa-
ton in this country.
While the promoters are attending
this meeting it is only to be expected
over matters which will be to their
own interests; sucn as Ins uuil,,, a.
OF big guarantees to boxers ard also
unreasonable percentages If the ho~e's
are wise and also their managers, they
will realize that il they put the p.s,
promoters out of business they are
going to kill the game entirely, SO it
IS up to them to help the organization
in every way possible.
The great battle that Milburn Saylor
put up against Charley White at Bos-
ton last week proved big boost for
the Hoosier boy and his manager, Ray
Bronson, and now they are flooded with
offers for. matches from all parts of the
country. Besides the match with Billy
Wagner "a brother of Charley White)
at Cincinnati. this week, Saylor has
been matched with Joe Azevedo, the
California lightweight. for twelve
round bout in Boston, July 81. He also
has an offer to fight some star light
weight at a club in Montana during
the big state fair and has accepted
providing the date. which will be about
the middle of September. does not in
terfere with return match with
Charley White The new club at Min
neapolis also is trying to match Saylor
with Johnny Griffith for the opening
show; while the Boston A A. is en-
deavoring to bring about a return
match with White: The Indiana boy
with the Roston fans and it is a ques-
tion which of the two is the bigger
card. White also has number of Of
fers around the east and has been
booked Tor three or four matches. How
ever. the match that Nate Lewis, man
ager of White, would like to cinch is
with Freddy Welsh over the marathon
route for the championship. Lewis
would rather take Welsh on right off
the reel than tosfrst meet SayIor in an
elimination contest, for to do so would
mean two hard battles for the title in
stead of one, provided of course, that
he should defeat the Hoosier The box
ing fans would like to see Savior
White battle over the derby course, for
it would no doubt be more interesting
than one between. White and Welsh
There would be more real action to IT,
The fans want to see some real scraps
and not so much Of the fancy sparring
matches.
Billy Kramer. the Wisconsin weltcr-
weight champion, who went to Aus
to Snowy Baker for five bouts, had his
first trial over the marathon distance
ut Melbourne. when he met u husky
young weller named Billy McNabb.
knocking out McNabb in fifteen rounds
1t was the first time that the Badger
lad had gone beyond the ten-round
mark and it was feared by his friends
that. on account of his youth lie might
not be able to stand the strain, but he
evidently weathered the storm very
nicely. Kramer is a boy with a lot of
class and he is rapidly developing into
pound mark. but is growing and may
| return home a. full-fedged middle
weight. He is .of the Jimmy Clabby
build and a good boxer. but lacking
, first started his career in Australia.
1t seems strange that classy light
weight like Jack Br:tton should go
crack at the title. Jack is no chicken,
being thirty years old. but he has
battled with most of the celebrated
! lightweights in the world, with the
j Richie, although he had a four-round
| bout with Willie in san Francisco
/. when the latter was coming out"
Jack was brought out by Bill Phelon.
! formerly of Chicago. now sporting
editor of the Cincinnati Times-Sta-.
, back in 1905. and he was fast and
/; clever from the jump. He never had
the best of care and simply drifted
along at his own pace. Dan Morgan,
J the New York hustler. has tried hard
to push lack to the front the past two
years. but even Daniel failed to get
! some of the matches he was after
matches which would have given Jack
la chance FOR glory. He has been meet
ing welterweights and gave away a
lot of weight when he fought Packey
Mcfarland in Milwaukee. but now he
is getting down to the lightweight
class again. having been matched to
meet Johnny Dundee in New York
July 20. The weight is to be 1913 ring
side, and it looks as though Scotty
Monteith had the better of the match
making. as the poundage may hurt
Britton. Jack also is meeting one of
i the classiest lightweights in the BUSH
| ness in Dundee. and If he can defeat
| the Italian he will surely be in line
for a match with White and Welsh.
