But, although the lanky Frederick has
never battered down real top

about as much right to lay claim to

Before he met Jack Johnson and
won the championship at Havana who

member correctly the big cowboys
record was anything but wonderful
when he was signed to battle John

has fought and won non-decision ten

Figuring that Jack Johnson was

can see no reason for placing big Jess
on such an alttudinous plane in com.
Darison to Fulton. It's only fair to
give the devil his due. and Fulton
has demonstrated at least, that he

to see 1t, for like to see a great player
give the game all he has"
