fights he won by a knockout doesn't
compare very we'll with Fulton's, and
John L. Sullivan's record is not to be
considered in the same breath with
Fultons. Fulton's record shows he has
engaged in thirty-five bouts. OF these
he has won twenty-five by knockout.
Once he was fiattened and he has lost
two bouts on fouls. Jeffries went to the
squared circle for twenty-one encount-
ers. and on seven occasions he was re-
turned winner by a knockout.
Sullivan appeared in thirty-six bat
ties. just one more than Fulton. but he
was able to win only eight of them by
knockouts. Fitzsiminons fought forty
times, and won only twenty-three of
them with finishing punch. 1t may be
argued that the men these champions
were meeting were far better than the
average heavyweight of today. How
ever. it will be freely admitted that
none of them was any better than Sam
Langford. who Fulton has credit of a
knockout over. And Fulton has barred
none of them. He Is ready to meet
them all.
In view of these records 1t is rather
queer turn of affairs that makes fans
refer to the good old days of Fitzsim-
mons. Sullivan and Jeffries when the
talk turns to heavyweights.

NEW YORK. July lit is a strange
thing that the average fight fan of to-
day is one of the greatest howlers the
world ever saw when mention is made
of a heavyweight tangle. The general
impression. following sundry raw ex-
hibitions, is that a heavyweight nova
days is>a slice of cheese.
As a matter of fact. the record of
Fred Fulton. the foremost contender for
Jess Wizards championship. is q great

Cotton

A sharp early break was followed by
recoyeries IN the cotton market yes
terday, owing to the reduced average
crop estimates, strong spot markets and
unfavorable weather news. January
contracts advanced from 26.18 to 1886
and closed at $3.50, with the general
list closing very steady, net o points
lower TO 8 points higher.
Reports were published before the
opening that the government was plan
ming to seize cotton held in this coun-
try for German account amounting 10
a million bales. There had been a
good deal of reactionary sentiment
toward the close of last week, and ner-
vousness seemed TO be increased by
this story, which suggested that a large
amount of cotton previously held on
tho market might soon become avail
able. Local dealers and statisticians,
however, said they could not reconcile
any such holdings as mentioned with
the known available supply reflected
IN the reports Of the Census bureau
and after the first rush of liquidation
and the execution OF over-Sunday SELL
ing the market turned frmer.
Some Of the older men in the trade
said they cannot recall any previous
season in which there had been SUCH
a long run Of cold weather at thu. time
Of the year as the present, and also
pointed out that never before had three
short crops been produced in success
