Fred Fulton, named as q possible
opponent Of Jess Willard, is not taken
very seriously by the followers Of
the game Harry Wills. the big New
Orleans boxer who meets Sam Lang
ford at the Harlem Sporting Club.
New York, tonight. is the boxer who
cut short Fultons pugilistic ambi-
tions. Wills knocking out Fulton IN
eighteen seconds. Willard, though a
powerful puncher, is not as hard a
hitter as Wills, who gained quite a
reputation in knocking down Lang
ford nine times in bout In Los An
geles Many OF the experts claim that
Wills is even better than Jack john
