Moran failed 10 accept the terms of
the New Orleans promoters for a fight
with Fulton as a sort Of an appetizer
I've said dozen times in dozen days
that we've received no offer for a Full
ton-Moran fight. III take that back.
Once they did say they would give us
80 per cent for our end for that fight"
Thirty per cent of WHAT ?" broke in
the quiet-spoken Moran. "Where have
| heard that before? tell you what
III do added Moran, 1--WE listened to
all this Fulton talk without word of
protest. ! never ducked an issue in
my life. Now, if you fellows or those
chaps down in New Orleans think that
Fulton is so good, and especially good
enough to give Willard fight, III make
this proposition. I'll fight him at Madi-
son Square Garden and if don't stop
him IN ten rounds will give my end TO
the Associated Charities, the Christmas
fund Tor the poor or TO Fulton himself
II he cares 10 collect il under the cir
cumstances. III promise to be ready to
hight him In three weeks. For your own
Information III tell you that Fulton was
offered fight with me in the Garden
and he turned ii DOWN. Said he was
too busy filling his present dates. Does
that sound like ] was ducking him ?"
That's just where we stand" said
Ike and Francis Charles in unison.
willard doesn't want TO fight Full
ton ls mark of the softest sort. You
fellows know that. II you don't con-
slider US we will rauss you from one
end OF the country to the other"
on, say not so, say not So" broke
IN Curley. Let animosity enter not
into the spirit of these proceedings.
We are little pals together, one for all
and all for one
Don't count US in on that pal stuff
while you insist on carting that big
champion of yours around the country
in glass case" said Ike, with de-
cided show Of spirit
We'll lay the minutes OF this meet
Ing on the shelf" continued Ike.
There isn't the least sign of real fight
talk, and Frank and | must be off to
doll up for the opera. That's our
passion, soup and fish, thirteen and the
odd and all that sort of thing. Any
time you want 10 match that big fell
low against a real fighter our cable
address is Y. s. A." offered Ike. as he
bowled through the door with Moran at
his O'Sullivan's.
Moran stopped long enough N he
way out TO tell what Jim CofFey said
to him after the, Dublin giant had
fioored Gunboat Smith the other night.
Moran sat right at the ringside near
Cofcy's corner. To show thlt he mad
his full potion Of GOODNESS on tap he
turned occasionally as il TO ask Moran
how he was doing. Then came the
dramatic knockout. For the first time
in his New York career the great Gun
ner was hattened. Lid jim &c. Aus
tered! He did not. His mind was on
two men in that building, the Gunner
and Frank Moran. Having disposed OF
one, he thought of the other on the
instant. As the referee walked the
/ tottering Gunner to his corner Coffey
ambled over TO where Moran sat.
Reaching out through the ropes. he
extended n hand that Moran grasped.
