The knock0uts over Pelkey and An
derson thrust Fulton to the front more
than all Of his other performances.
The clash with Anderson took place
at Milwaukee just short time ago.
Anderson had been we'll advertised
He undoubtedly had more than medi.
OGRE merit. Wise men wasted consider
able vocal energy raving over him.
In fact, one well known Chicagoan
was so thoroughly convinced that An.
dersOn had the goods that he backed
his opinion with $1,000. Fulton drop
ped Anderson cold in an early round.
1t has been claimed that last spring
while Willard was touring Minnesota
giving exhibitions in connection with
the "101 Ranch show against all com
ers he boxed with and was knocked
down by Fulton.
Be that as it may, there appear to be
some and several persons, notably those
residing in the neighborhood of Mime,
sofa and Wisconsin, who have seer
Fulton keel over opponents, who pro
fess to believe that he is the man tt
prove conclusively whether Willard is
a great or merely a mediocre champion

Sporting Notes.

Following row between Tom Jones,
manager of Willard, and Tom Burns,
New Orleans promoter, it was an
nounced definitely last night that the
proposed bout between Willard and
Fulton is cancelled
Ex-President William Howard Taft
has been led to discuss athletics as per-
tanning to colleges. Here is what he
said in a public utterance in New
York anent muckerism: 81 attended
a baseball game between the Yale and
Harvard teams last commencement.
The chattering and slangy phrases used
by one team against the other, in order
to embarrass opponents and encourage
associates, was not edifying. To hear
the undergraduates on exhibition be
fore 10000 people calling out to their
associates get his goat or put out his
| eye was not elevating. When the crit
icism was published the captains of
the various college teams were inter
viewed, and they said it was necessary
| to give pep to their men. l think
/ this is ridiculous. If it is necessary to
inspire one side with courage through
the cry of the captain, it certainly need
not be framed in language which car
only be characterized as that of muck

Who is this ambitious young person,
Fred Fulton, who aspires to jolt the
heavyweight championship crown from
the dome of big Jess Willard?
That's pertinent and rather much
he may battle Willard in New Orleans
during Mardi Gras week.
Fulton was discovered in the wilds
Of Minnesota some time ago-and not a
long time. In fact, he has not been out
of the brush long enough to have his
name appear in the fistic records or his
photograph break into places farther
remote from Minnesota than Chicago.
Fulton's age has not been revealed,
but his picture would convince that he
is still on the youthful side of thirty.
He was born, raised and found in
Rochester, MINI. He is reported to
have been found by Mike Collins, prom
inent Minnesota promoter and man
ager
Fred is the only white boxer in cap
tivity who closely approaches Willard
in size and general development
He stands six feet four inches in
height. Wizards height is six feet six
inches. His battling weight is 22C
pounds. Willard battles at about Do
or go pounds.
And Fred's reach is eighty-four and
one-half inches. which every one must
admit is some reach. Figure it out fol
yourself and you'll find that to be sever

It's the longest reach possessed by
any living boxer. Willard measure.
