Interesting stuff.

Tommy Dixon. who is here now manaS-

Force then went to San Francisco he
still had faith in Fulton, and he sent
for the big cornhusKer-
Fulton got TO San Francisco some
way, and I think was matched with
Harry Wills. who spilled him by
punch when trying to hold him up for
a round or two. Fulton came back TO
Minneapolis and was taken hold OF by
a saIoOnkeeper named Mcbride, who
was managing him when Carl Norris
boxed Fulton at Hudson. Wis, october
9. 1914. 1 offered to wager MeBrlde
$500, using Collins and Harry Bryant
Of St. Paul, as agents. that Fulton
would not go six rounds
Once Beat Pelky.
'.The chief claim TO fame that Fulton
has to his credit is that he beat Arthur
PeIkey in ten rounds at Eau Claire,
Wis, who afterward won over him in
five rounds at Oshkosh Wis. Fred
Sears. Of Philadelphia, was managing
Pelkey, and he assures me on his word
of honor that Pelkey was a sick man
at Eau Claire, but at that knocked Full
ton down several times and almost put
him out in the first and ninth rounds
The shade decision was given to Full
ton. and they were rematched at Osh-
kosh, where Pelkey. in no real shape,
was giving the big fellow a merry mil
ling when. in the fifth round, Fulton
hit Pelkey on a nerve or muscle in his
right hip. and the leg refused to sup
port Pelkey- He fell or was pushed
over no less than u times, and even
in his helpless condition Fulton could
not knock him out. After Pelkey re-
turned to his corner at the end Of the
fifth round, one of the state Of Wiscon-
sin boxing commissioners, Mr.. Laying
er, ordered the bout stopped. Pelkey
was unmarked and unhurt- It was a
farcical victory"
