All of which is the Veriest bunk.
There are nUmberless teamsters
right here in town who could rough

would consider Fulton a bosom
friend. The fight as a stepping stone
to a championship was a huge Joke.
As a preliminary to a battle be-

FULTON BEATS WEINERT AND
IS TITLE POSSIBILITY"

BY Mark Shields
Press agents, promoters, managers
and some sport writers will now oil
up the tTusty typewTiters and ham
mer the Iong-suffering public into
state where it will stand for a ten
round championship" fight between
Jess Willard, heavyweight title hold
er, and Fred Fulton, the Rochester
giant.
Most anything can be done to the
public when the publicity stuff is
correctly handled. Witness the
flight" between Fulton and Charley
Weinert in New York last night,
which made Fulton the logical con-
tender" in the heavyweight division
and the "only available opponent"
for the champion.
BY using the quotation marks we
are only beating the press agents to
a few much OveTWOrked phrases.
Fulton became a big man in the
heavy line because he did away with
Weinert, a fellow 40 pounds lighter,
and who has never done anything
wonderful. He is not to be named
as a trial horse, because he hasn't
fought any Of the leaders of the
heavyweight division.
The fight Mex was a glorious
bIOOmer. 1t lasted almost two rounds,
when Weinert was knocked out on
his feet. Harry Pollock made a great
stall, claiming his man was capable
of going on with the affair, but a
continuance would have been mas
Bacre. Fulton hit his opponent in
face and body and had the fight won
before it was half a minute gone.
Immediate talk of a fight between
Willard and Fulton can be expected. |

stood near the terminus of the street
railroad line. Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
moved from here to Sunderland, Mass,
where they conducted a hotel many
years. Mr. Warren later bought the ho-

His daughter and her husband have con
Quoted the hotel with marked success
in recent years. Mrs. Ahearn gave per
s0nal attention to the management OF
the hotel, and it was widely known fol
the excellence of its cuisine. People
more often spoke of going to " Rost
Warren 81 than to the Warren House
and in addition to finding an attractive
hostelry with table long to be remem
bercd they carried away a pleasant i'm
preston of the genial, kindly greetAg'
and thoughtful attention which they al
ways received from Mrs. Ahearn. Sh,
