BY FIRED FULTON

The first fight Of my ring ca
reer brought me a knockout
victory over Dick Stone In two
rounds. Then / knocked out Dick
O'Connell, Tom Riley, Sam Sal
beny and Jim Harler and out
pointed Ben Trimble in six
rounds.
Then / was sent against Luther
McCarty, the champion, who was
touring the country. He was the
first clever fighter l had ever
seen. He didn't Just get in there
and wallop and try to kill his OPP
ponent. He was revelation to
me and / learned lot in our
bout.
| made good showing with
McCarty and got the idea / could

ions of fighting for the heavy
weight championship, and, what's
more, of winning 1t.
After the McCarty mill l
bumped off Mike Burns in one
round at Superior, Wis, and
knocked a fellow named Riley
for loop in three rounds at Min
neapolis.
Mike Collins, my present man
ager, was promoting bouts at
Hudson, Wis. l went there and
met Charlie Nelson. Il walloped
him to sleep in one round and did
the same to Ray Caricofini in five
rounds. l went to Fairview,

vading the far west. When
landed my one-two punch, AL was
in a heap in the corner OF the
ring.
That victory gave me a big
boost, but the game was killed in
California and we decided TO go
back to home, sweet home. Cali
fornia, you know, is beautiful
place with perpetual sunshine,
but you can't eat sunshine.
Back home, l knocked out
Stanley Klosby in one round and
Jack Moran in five. Moran had
acted as sparring partner for
McGoorty, willard and other good
ones. l understand he spread
the report that he broke his leg
in this match or he would have
won. That's the funniest alibi
ever heard. Yes, I broke his leg,
but l had to hit him on the chin
to do 1t.

Lid Put On
Glove Game
at PuyalIup.

PUYALLUP, Jan. 2S. = The
city council of Puyallup is plan
ming to clamp the lid down on
local boxing. A Tacoma promo
ter had been making arrange
ments for a smoker in the Red
Mems opera house, at which Joe
Bonds was to have met pro-
fessional from Chehalis. This,
coupled with the fact that ono
of the boxers was knocked out
at the last smoker given by the
Puyallup fire department, has
caused the council to bar future
matches.

WRESTLING
MATCH IS
POSTPONED

Last nights scheduled wrest-

Cushman Indians and Lincoln
Park high school, did not ma
terialize because Coach Harvey
Hall of the Indians refused to
take his men to the Lincoln gym
nasium. Halls excuse was that
last winter he had taken his
men to Lincoln for practice
match, and that the Lincoln men
had taken credit for winning q
regular meeting. Hall said that
he feared the same trick last
night. He announced that he
would match his men against
Lincoln later In the season.

If there is danger OF Ta-
coma being left without a
baseball team this year, 1t is
up to the fans to get busy.
We'd have a fine reputation
with a league in our midst
and no team here.
There is every reason to
believe that a Tiger team
this year would be q success.
But action has to begin at
once.
Last season the ball club
started off with q flourish.
1t made money. Russ Hall
acted as manager and had o
winning team. We stood at
the top of the percentage
column.
And then McGinnity, who
had retained Hall to run 4he
club, began acting over the
managers head. He sold
players, and insulted others,
and started a general dis
ruption. The result was
soon evident. Fans knew all
that was going on, and they
showed their dislike for Nc
Ginnity's action by refusing
to ATTEND the games. Hall
resigned. The club went on
the rocks.
We believe that q 1916
team under capable manage
ment would be a success.
In our opinion Russ Hall
would be a capable man to
be given the franchise. He
has been in baseball all his
life, has won pennants ga
lore, and has proven himself
an efficient manager.
But If Tacoma is to have
a team this year, something
has to be done at once.
Other teams are signing
players already. The cream
OF the bunch will be signed
up, IL we don't hurry.
There is an undercurrent
of influence in Tacoma OPP
posing a 1916 professional
club. Ii is apparently en-
couraged by persons friend
ly with the City league. For.
without professional ball
here, the semi-pros would
reap a harvest. II
The City league Is a fine
thing, and deserves all the
encouragement In the world.
But 1t will not keep US on
the map like q league team
would. There is plenty of
room here for both the semi-.
pro and league clubs. liz >

GOVERNOR IS SAFE
BY PLURALITY OF
SIS SAYS BROXON
Claim Is Made That the
Election Is Now Settled
Beyond the Possibility of
Doubt.

Governor Alexanders plurality Is
513 and he has been reelected gov
ernor of the state, fact that the eff
forts of Republicans cannot change, in
the opinion of c. o. Broxon, secretary
to the chief executive. In a statement
issued today he declared that the gov
ernor's friends are not in the least
frightened by unfounded allegations
of fraud nor by unlawful demands for
recount of votes" He said
There is no material change in the
gubernatorial situation since the Cap
ital News announced the result on
Thursday following the election. Gov
ernor Alexander, as stated then, Is
elected by plurality something ov-
er 500, the exact plurality on Of
ficial and unofficial returns today be-
ing exactly 513 over d. w. Davis. The
Republicans Will not be able to change
this result however much they may
dislike to abide by the expressed will
of the people of the state.
THE friends of Governor Alexander.
knowing that he has been honestly
elected, are not frightened by un-
founded allegations of fraud nor by
unlawful demands for recount of votes.
The Republicans are merely basing
their claims upon forlorn hope. This
includes their desire for a recount
They know they are beaten as the
count stands; they, therefore, are will
ing to induce subservient boards of
county commissioners wherever pos
sible to go beyond the law in order to
secure a recount in the hope that such
recount might show an increase for
Davis. So far as Governor Alexander
and his friends have been advised all
election officers have tried to count the
expressed wishes of the people. We
believe they have done so, and that
Governor Alexander has won the cleo
ton. We do not fear an honest re-
count, but we demand that II be done
in accordance with law II 1t is desired
by the defeated candidate or his
friends.
so far as the increased vote and
the number of election day registra-
tions is concerned, they are easily ac-
counted for. Many men and women all
over the state who have not voted at
all in the past or who have not voted
for years. voted this year because there
was q general interest in the election.
This is particularly true with the wo-
men of the state. The change In the
registration laws which have given vot-
ers the option of hunting up a regis
tration officer or of waiting until cleo
tion day to register, is responsible for
the heavy registration on election day.
