!. FIGHT. WILLARD.
CAssOcistsd Press ~ Federal wir.les.1

NEW ORLEANS, December a.
Fred Fulton, heavyweight, who claims
to be the only man to send the present
heavyweight champion Of the world to
the floor with a punch, will be the next
opponent of the big Kansan cowboy.
This was agreed to here last night fol-
lowing n conference between Tom
Jones, representing Willard; Mike Col
Tins, representing Fulton, and Promot-
ers Tommy Burns and TOrtOrich of the
Crescent City Athletic Club of this
city. The men are to meet in a twenty.
round contest the night of March 20,
and the battle will be for the cham
pionship.
Did Not Like Footlights
When Willard surrendered his the
atrical contracts here several weeks ago
and stated he was ready and willing
to fight any white man in the world,
Burns and TortOrich Immediately sign,
ed him for a match, the opponent to
be picked from the crop of heavy.
weights clamoring for the chance, these
being Frank Moran Of Pittsburgh, Jim
Coffee Of Dublin, Ireland, and Fred
Fulton.
Recently Moran was eliminated from
the running when he was knocked out
In three rounds by Coffey. Among the
pugilistic fans it was thought that
Moran would he given the chance, but
evidently he did not suit fine promot
| ers. II is understood that Willard is
to receive $32, 800 as his share of the
fight, win, lose or draw.
Built Like Fitzsimnlons
Fulton is new man in the pugilistic
| world, having been discovered in the
wilds of Minnesota less than two years
ago by Mike Collins, a weIlknown
trainer in the Middle West.
He is built on the same lines as Rob
| ert FitzsimmOns, only he is of larger
build and much heavier than the fam.
Gus Cornishman, and is said to have a
reach of eighty inches, which is two
inches greater than that of the present
title holder.
Since the first of the year, the
Minnesota hope has scored ten knock.
outs, the latest two to bite the dust
being Arthur Perky and Terry Kellar.
| The latter was put to the floor in the
fourth round, while PeIky was sent to
dreamland in the fifth round. Recent
ly Fulton dropped Andre Anderson at
New York and then he issued def to
fight Willard.
His claim to sending Willard to the
floor happened when both men were
green at the game and took place dur
ing an exhibition bout in which both
! figured in a Middle West town two OF
three years ago.
Lives Up To Promise
When Jess Willard came out of Ha.
vana, Cuba, the conquerOr of Jack
johnson, wise men shook their heads
and declared that Willard would re
main before the footlights for year.
and would never defend his title until
forced to do so. This riled the big
cowboy scrapper and he, answered bach
that he would fight within year if The
right man was found for him.
1t was on April that willard wor
from johnson with a knockout in the
twenty sixth round, less than year
after he will again be called on to de
fend his title.
