So Fred Fulton is going TO get the
"chuck. Ell? Well, why not? Just why
Fulton ever was selected 10 meet Will
lard is one Of the mysteries that eter..
nally surround the famed barber OF
Kewanee. The gossips have II now
that he went ahead and MADE inc
match without consulting the tall pms,

prisoner heard Of il, few days ago. ne
did a John Mccullough. You could
have heard his roar clear through 70
China. Jess was quick to see that the
public would not be taken In on
match that would naturally be one
sided.
No one was present at the meeting
between the barber and Jess, but u IS
safe TO presume that Jones got me
little tongue lashing for his mateh-
making troubles. New Orleans promoJ-
ers, Burns and Totorich, had gone
ahead with preparations. and there
wasn't a sign Of bitch until Jess
started on a gallop from the Far west
No sooner did he get the baroers ear
in range than the Southern promoters
called everything off. They intimated
that Fred could have whack at Jess
providing he fought Frank Moran there
as a sort of try-out.

Fulton to come here. The Rochester
giant would be asked to fight the WIN

Francis Charles right straight on his
little chin-chin. That would complicate
matters somewhat. II might even make
Billv Gibson break out In smoker
Word comes from Chicago that the
barber and his prisoner have DECIDED
that the match is 20 be. Nike Collins,
the barber, little Freddie and little
Jessie met and vowed that the rght
would 20 on no matter what Burns or
Tororich said. The barber had II that
Fulton was not 70 be snubbed, and II
Burns and Totorich had been attacked
with chills and fever over that $4,000
guarantee then the thrilling struggle
for supremacy would be carted OIL TO
some other town.
Jack Curley is houndering around IN
the sea OF doubt He doesn't know
whether he is afoot or on horseback.
He never did enter into the spirit OF a
Fulton-Willard match. and now he Is
"a mystifed as the rest OF US. Is II
ON or Is il OFF, Jones?

Fifty Times Square newsies were the
guests of Frank Mora at a turkey dim

carried Moran's little friends out TO Dial

When the boys had had their

speech. lie said that he was giving
the dinner In appreciation OF the 10y
atty shown him by his newsboy iriends
before he met Coifey. 81 wasn't any
thing then, I'm nothing now he said,
but il was good enough for me that
you bet your nickels and d mes on me
when Coffey might have whipped me-"
Then Make. the king Of the newssies,
began TO fuss with bundle that he had
slowed away under the table. Finally
he came up with big silver loving cup.
Moran looked at faithful Willie Lewis
and Lewis suddenly discovered a new
strip Of moulding up near the ceiling.
Make got on his feet and said; I'm
not going TO call you Mr. Moran.
You're Frank % US and always Will be.
This cup isn't the bunk. Frank. We're
