Fultop's aDoctored" Record.

The press agent for Fred Fulton. sometimes called the "pugilistic lem on,' surely is a; wonders at, covering up the flivvers made by Fulton. la-
 On the huge sheet. in which is told of Fulton's greatness. there are two lines which read as follows:
 Fulton has had 32 fights--31 of which have been knockouts-a record unsurpassed by anv other boxer in the history of pusilism."
 The innocent bystander concludes. upon reading those liaes that Fulton has won S1 of those fiehts vin the knockout route. But such is not the case. s Thirty-one of the fights that Fulton engaged in may have ended in knOckouts--bnt not all of them were in favor of Fulton. The big black smith suffered two or three knockouts himself-but the press agent doesn't say so. 1A 3e
 Tn press agent does not deny that Fulton has been knocked out He admits it--but ir such a way as to give the impression that it was Full ton. who scored the knockout--not FulttRNwho suffered them.
