WANTS To
MEET LANGFOnD
BY Il. c. HAMILTON

tUnited Press STAFF Correspondent
NEW YORK, May 15.-Fred Fulton
is taking a short cut TO permanent re-
tirement from the pugilistic spotlight.
or else he has found the short way
back to popular favor with the fight
fans.
Fulton wants to meet Sam Langford,
When Fred delivered the foul blow
that lost him prestige in New York and
sent him back to Minnesota he brought
down on his head the scorn of. all the
New York fans. They haven't yet stop
ped talking about it.
Fulton seems to be the ideal man to
meet Jess Willard for the champion
ship. In spite of the unfortunate out
come OF his affair with Carl Morris he
still looms as the most logical man.
Morris f1ivvered when he made such a
poor showing with Jim Coffey and
Frank Moran has been out of the run
ming for a long time.
Fulton is a fighter of ability. He was
learning fast when he ran into the
r~ough-house methods of Morris. If he
should get Sam into the ring and be-
labor the veteran negro there would be
no one ready to say he wasn't at least
half ready for the big fight.
Fulton couldn't come back with mere
ly a point victory over the crafty black.
While it would get back some of his lost
prestige. it wouldn't necessarily entitle
him to any further consideration. He
would have to score a knockout and 1t
wouldn't do to make IL a. halfway af-
fair.
Gunboat Smith once whipped Sam
Langford. the records show. but he was
foolish enough to try it again and the
result was a defeat for Smith.
Langford sometimes fights wonder
fully we'll; at other times he can be
outpointed. But the white man has
never been found-nor the black one
either. for that matter-good enough to
stop Langford. Jack Johnson never
would meet him after he gained the
championship Others have avoided
him by drawing a color line. Fulton
will be censured for fighting him on
the ground that mixed bouts shoul2 not
he held, but, just the same. Fulton has
found the way back il he is good
enough TO put over the proper punch.

DRIVEN
6O3 MILES IN TRAFFIC

Under conditions that were unfavor-
able Paul Gee. Chalmers distributor at
Grand Rapids, recently drove a Chalm-
ers seven-passenger touring car sos
miles in and around Grand Rapids in
twenty-four hours. The car was lock-
ed in against low and intermediate
speeds. giving the driver access only to
high and revrse gears.
Gees run was remarkable. Three
American Automobile
Association representatives. checked all
the details. An official stamp was plac-
ed on the seal binding the gears and the
gasoline tank was filed and sealed. The
start as made from the Chalmers serv-
ice station in Grand Rapids. No set
course was followed. the car piunging
through the heavy traffic up the heavy
grades of the city and through the
heavy going of the outskirts. Paul
Carlton. a Chalmers salesman. relieved
Gee at the wheel and during the major
part of the afternoon and evening four
other persons were passengers.
At S D.. M. the day of the race a stop
was made for gasoline and checked. All
through a heavy downpour of rain. so

not see the road and was forced to stop.
the contest continued. Gee and Carlton
were wet to the skin. but they hung
tenaciousiy to their work and again at
s a. m. more gasoline was taken. About
noon it was evident that a great Chalm-
ers performance had been made. and at
1850 p. m. as the car poked It's nose in
the garage. the s~peedometer showed to
the newspapermen that the motor had
travelled 603 miles. During that time
the average consumption of gasoline
was 1872 gallons TO the mile. This was
low test gas.
From every standpoint the run was
remarkable. The conditions all the way
were far from ideal. In criss-crossing
the city locked in high gear. all sorts
of impediments to speed were met with.
And the heavy going assisted materially
in holding down the average. Without
the rain and muddy streets and roads
the mark of 6O3 miles would easily
have been bettered.
This test, which is exclusive high
gear driving. is most severe on the
clutch and back axle parts Of the car.
II was a convincing test of Chalmers
endurance.

CAPITAL COMMENT
s. - 80 $50 b"
BY ellison Gardner
Washington, Jan. 10. = Josephus
Daniels has a fine scheme for put
ting a crimp into the armor and ord
nance trusts. His plan, as he tells
me, is to equip government plants so
they will be able to make everything
the government needs.
Then" said he, eff the private
makers are reasonable and will con-
tent themselves with a reasonable
profit l will run the government
plants on one-third time. If the pri-
vate makers put up their prices will
run our plants on two-thirds time. If
they are hoggish l will run our plants
full time. This will leave field for
reasonable private enterprise and at
the same time the government will
not be at the mercy, as it now is, of
the private concerns"
In considering the bids for big
guns and armor for the new navy,
Sec'y Daniels has been sorely
pressed by the Bethlehem and Mid
vale companies. Bids have been
about 80 per cent higher than a year
ago. If the secretary refuses to be
bilked by the munitions trust he will
have to wait until government plants
can be equipped to do the work, and
this will delay naval construction
about two years. 1t is a case of "al
the traffic will bear" and Charley
Schwab evidently thinks it will bear
a lot just now.
