The Washington times., 1917-12-25
By LOUIS A. DoUGHER.

Jess Willard is today king of
them all in the roped arena. A year
from today he is expected to have
passed ingloriously from the center
Of the stage, leaving behind him the
worst ring record of ny heavy
weight champion in the history Of
boxing.
The Pottawatomie, Kan, cowboy
has no anuarent stomach for boxing.
He knocked out Jack johnson April
Is, 1915, in the twenty-sixth round.
Since that day he has entered the
ring Just once, meeting Frank Moran
at New York March 25, 1916, in a
ten-round no-decision bout.
willard has used his championship,
and rightly, too, as a means OF max
ing money. But when he declines
to defend his title against the lead
ing chaIlengers, he deserves the lack
OF sympathy shown by the public in
his own reign. Had Johnson follow
ed such a course, willard would new
er have received his chance to win
the championship.
To make matters worse, now comes
Willard with an "offer" to meet any
challenger. IL he is allowed TO con-
duct the whole affair by himself, il
the bout is for ten rounds, without
turned over to the Red Cross. No
champion in the history of the ring
ever suggested such ridiculous terms.
Fulton Most Prominent.
Pred Fulton, of Rochester. MINI.
ranks as the most prominent Of all
the heavyweight contenders.
With the announcement OF Will
Iard's "offer," came to the front those
old horses OF the roped enclosure,
sam Langford, Joe Jeanette, Jim
COffey, Frank Moran, Carl Morris, and
Gunboat Smith. Fulton has beaten
most OF these men, and is the only
man to have compelled Langford to
quit. This he did at Boston this very
year
Fulton claims to have beaten Will
lard in fOuT-round exhibition bout
at Rochester. Mimi. on March IA,
1918, just prior to the big battle at
Havana. Willard has never actually
denied this statement. good natured-
ly saying, "Wen, II Fred thinks that
way about, let him go ahead"
Willard would never have come to
the front with even this Offer of
his, had it not been for the relent-
less pursuit OF Fred Fulton. The
Minnesota Plasterer has gone around
daFaaFfnur all
sible challengers until he now stands
in the forefront.
Would Claim the ITtIe.
About a month ago came the bomb
shell from the Fulton camp. Fulton's
manager, quoting the rules OF ring
procedure in the past. calmly snnounc-
ed that IL Willard didn't cover the
Rochester mana 81 900 forfeit by De
cember 20. 1917, Fulton would claim
the worlds championship and would
defend II against all challengers.
willard was basking in the sun OF
Florida, where his circus outfit was
working on a contract with the Gov
ernment. The champion even had
the nerve to allow # to be said that
these conditions made him a man
working for the Government in war
time" But daily came the stings of
criticism. Sport writers, who can
make or break boxing champions.
poured out the vials OF their wrath
against the sulking willard.
Rushing from Jacksonville to Chi
csgo, though he might have done
quite as much beside the palms OF
FLORIDA as close TO the stockyards of
Illinois, Willard announced his viii.
