Round Robin Should
Eliminate Contenders


Terry kclzr h. q
Arthur Pelkey y. 10
Ii will be noted that the worst re-
verse Fulton has sustained was at the
hands of Carl Morris. when the Ok
lahoma giant slowed him away for
the count in six rounds. but in de-
Tense Of Fulton il should be stated
that at that time he was practically
a raw novice. while Morris was a bat
tle-scarred veteran. - Frequent at
tempts have been made to bring Full
ton and Morris together again, but
Morris apparently has not been keen
for a rematch.
Fulton is % years old. feet. AZ
inches in height. weighs go pounds,
and has a reach of S4Ia inches. which
is an inch and a half longer than
Willard's. Fulton's last ring affair.
with Arthur Pelkey. whom he knock
ed out in five rounds. emphasized Full
toms class in impressive fashion. as
Pelkey. il will be remembered, had
the credit of newspaper decision
over Jess Willard. on July 90. 1912.
Following Fulton in the procession
of white hope prospects. comes Jim
Coffey. who possibly deserves an
other chance: Colin Bell. Australia.
and that little compact bundle of
dynamite, MI. JdSh bliloH' Vi IN
dianapolis.
The pretensions of Gunboat Smith.
Al Reich. Charley weinert. and Al
PalZer can be dismissed without con-
sideration. as they have been put to
the test and found wanting.
Andre Anderson. who is scheduled
to be Fulton's next opponent. is an
unknown and an uncertain quantity.
He has not figured very prominently
in heavyweight affairs. but he has
the physical equipment that may de-
yelop title possibilities. and for that
reason he is entitled to consideration.
Anderson started out in life as
wrestler: but repented. Possibly the
fact that the pickings became mighty
lean, following the expose of the mat
game in Chicago. Influenced Anderson
to quit graphing and start walloping.
Almost at the outset of his ring ca
reer. Fulton was sent against Jack
Dillon down in Indiana, and was
knocked out. This was more OF an &C
cident however, than real knock
out Dillon clouted Anderson on the
chin and as he dropped his head
struck one of the posts and he fell
through the ropes. He did not re-
cover his senses for over a minute.
His gameness. though, showed itself
then and there. When he recovered
his wits he started to climb back
into the ring for the purpose OF con-
tinuing.
after that defeat Anderson kept on
battling with Indifferent success. but
he showed signs of Improvement in
each contest. Some six weeks ago he
went to New York City for whirl at
the huskies there. He got only one
opportunity to show his hghting stock
He was matched with Battling Jim
johnson. a tough trial horse for am
bilious heavies, and beat him up so
badly that the referee stopped the bout
in the ninth round to avert a slaugh-
ter. In commenting on the battle the
scribes of the Metropolis declared that
Anderson showed greater ring possi-
bilities than Jess Willard did when he
first exhibited his mastodonic proper
lions for the entertainment of the fans
at Gay Gotham.
Anderson is being backed by Tom
Mcmahon. the famous Grand Circuit
driver. He is under the management
of Howard Carr.

tween Fulton and Anderson will deter |

Moran. The winner will be sent
against the Cleveland heavy. either at
