FULTON ToUTED AS A
 SECOND FITZSIMMONS.
Fighter From Minnesota Looked to for
 Match With Willard

Boxing enthusiasts have another hero to worship. Just few days ago Les Darcy occupied all the space al- dotted the fight news columnists, but Les he went away to be a stage fel- low and passed right out of the list of fighting men. Fred Fulton arrived just as Les left, and wherever followers of the ring congregate the lanky plaSterer of Rochester. Minn., is the one talked about, writes Walter St. Denis in the New York Globe. No longer does any body worry for fear that theFe is nev- CT going to be anybody to give Jess Willard a battle for his title. In Fred Fulton they see the man.
 We met up with George Engle, the well known trainer and handler of fighters, who is now making New York his home It was George who handled Frank Klaus in all of the latter'S inn portant battles at home and in Europe. It is George who is piloting Benny present and these are only two of the prominent battles George has been be- hind.
 Say, that Fulton is the greatest I've seen in many a day, began George before ever mention of the big fight CTS name was made. It just proved that Fulton Nas uppermost in the old experts mind. s'
 He's a second Fitzsimmons, I tell you There isn't a fighter we have around here now that he can't stop in side of ten rounds. He'll take every one of them as fast as they come to him. and when Mr. Willard steps into the ring Jess isn't going to have a picnic. I '.aven't seen a ffhter with such a great left hand as E-alton's. He doesn't exactly jab with it. It's a sort of screwy punch. Why, he would have cut the face off Cowler in a round or two. He has dandy shift, too, much like old Bob used to have, and as soon as he develops that right hand of his a little more he'll make a champion that none will dare trif1e with.
 do wish I had that fellow. There's a million dollars in him if there is a nickel in any fighter in the world. He's honestly the best looking thing I've seen with gloves in ever so long"
 Engle's words are only those of every one who claims ability to judge be- tween the good and bad in the fgthing game. And Fulton isn't the least bit disturbed by all the complimentary things being said about him. He does not claim he is invulnerable to a | punch He has stopped many of them and knows their effects He was up in Jack Doyle's billiard academy re- gently learning the trick of being a hard boiled egg, a necessary quality l for a champion, of for one who bids l for the place. The subject of his right | hand came up, and of his nursing of 1t l particularly on the occasion of his

meeting my expensese, which I might tell you are very heavy"
 Johnny didn't like to explain how he could have expenses that would eat up the big pieces of money he has been making. But at his home in Cleveland Johnny is a philanthropist. The poor have benefited by his charity work in great measure. Joe Brannigan, his New York friend, who accompanied Johnny to the Globe office, told how the featherweight champion spends thousands and thousands of dollars every year to help his less fortunate brothers.
 Why" said Joe, Tn every one of the five years Johnny has been cham pion not a Christmas has gone by that he has not spent from $L,200 to $500 in Christmas baskets for the poor of Cleveland. He doesn't get the money by holding outings, balls, or picincs or anything like that, either. He digs right down. into his own pocket and pays his bills himself. The churches are also aided financially by Johnny, and anybody with a ESod hard-luck story has always found him ready to help"
 'T never miss any money I spend that way" broke in the champion, Tt seems that it comes back two fold. have had good luck, but I know what

kiLBANE READY TO QUIT.
Johnny to Hang up Gloves After This
 Season.

The boxing game is about to suffer a great loss. Johnny Ki:bane, one of the two or three men of the ring, whom the writer believes to be real fighters, is ready to quit the game. The end of
 the present indoor season will see Johnny hang up the old gloves for all times, not because he is tired of being the champion featherweight of the world, but because there are no more men worthy of testing his skill, says Walter St. Denis. .
 He would like to close his career in possession of both the featherweight and lightweight titles. but he holds out little hope of acquiring the latter. His persistent challenges to Freddie Welsh have gone practically unnoticed to date. He is going to make a final bid for the bout. Money is no object to him in getting that which he seeks, for he is ready to concede Welsh nearly all his demands.
 Welsh can weigh 135 pounds at 6 o'clock on the day of the fight" said Johnny. 50 far as the money goes, want a chance to meet Freddie be- cause I think can beat him. He is holding out for unheard of sums to meet me, but I'll raise no money bar rier if he ever gets ready to put his name to articles of agreement with me other Hghtweights in the meantime. None of them are barred. Of several I will demand they make 133 pounds ringside, but Welsh can have his ,fa- vorite mark. Next spring if nothing in the way of good matches present them selves. I'm going to quit. It's disgust ing the way business is for me just now. Boxing has been mighty good for me and when I get through I'll not have to worry.
 'But I'll have to keep going and do something. I'm going to see George M. Conan in a day or two and see if he will write stage piece fo me. I think will go very well on the stage and that the profession will keep me

bout with Al Reich in New York early

bout with Al Reich in New York early last year.
 T did keep my right hand up against my jaw" explained the lengthy battler. T had reason. I didn't dare take it away from there after that second round Reich caught me pipin on the chin and I was absolutely ont on my feet. I decided to rely on my left to win for me. I never got over the punch and kept my jaw protected with the right Had Reich pust rushed me then he would have finished me. It was pro- bably the hardest blow I ever got in my life, although I will say that Cow Ter hit me a couple of beauts the other night. That doesn't mean that I can't take a punch either.
