using all her influence to induce the
government to carry on the war to a

M OF Oklahoma. was awarded the
= decision over Fred Fulton, of
Minnesota, in the fifth round OF bout
here Wednesday night, after referee
William Brown had announced Fulton
struck Morris a foul blow, sending him
helpless TO the floor. Morris weighed
1891 pounds and Fulton 22O1k. The
bout was to have gone 10 rounds.
Morris clearly had the better of
the battle up 10 the time the foul
blow was struck. HOnOrs were
fairly even in the first round but
IN the next two and part of the
fourth Morris kept crOWdinE in
close and had his opponent at a
disadvantage rs Fulton is long
distance fighter.
With short arm rights to the body
and jolts to the head and face, Morris
had Fulton bleeding from the nose and
mouth in the second round and cut
cash over his left eye in the third.
Morris still kept fighting at close
range in the fourth and continued the
same tactics in the fifth. damaging his
adversary considerably on the face and
body.
Fulton landed only at long range
and bis famous left was not of
much use at close quarters. He had
been badly beaten at the time he
landed the foul After the blow
which ended the fight. Morris fell
10 the floor helpless and had TO be
carried TO his corner.
The fight between Morris and Fulton
was the elimination Of a series Of chal-
lenges between the two fighters that
have been going back and forth for
the past three months. Fulton is the
Minnesota heavyweight who recently
announced his intention of fighting for
the crown Of Jeff willard. and has
been on the trail Of the big champion

In meeting Morris he clsshed with

aspirations Of Fulton for some time TO

an extent that a match with Willard

a long time. Morris has never met
