FULTON SHOWS
 IMPR0vEMENT:
 BEATS WEINERT

New York, Feb. 13--Fred Fulton, he Minnesota heavyweight, with m overwhelming advantage of 39 pounds In weight, and several inches in reach and height, pummeled- Charley Wein- ert of Newark into submission at Madison Square Garden last night in less than two rounds. The Jersey boxer, weighing only 183 1-2 pounds. faded into insignifcarce compared with the 222 1-2-pound plasterer who lowered at least six inches over Weinert's head. It proved a poorly chosen match for the opening of Grant Hugh Browne's new National Sportsmen's Club.
 Fulton's physical advantages were hopeless handicap for Weinert and not once during the short duration of the boat was the Newark lad able to plant a hard, telling blow on the lanky angular Fulton. Fulton jab- bed Weinert's face with left, which worked with the rapidity of a trip hammer, until it was bruised and cut. Before the first round was over Weinert was dizzy and groggy.
 The second round had gone only 9 little more than two minutes when Referee Bill Brown stepped in and stopped the bout. He waved the giant Fulton aside and held Weinert up by the arms so that he would not fall against the ropes. The Jersey lad was so badly chopped and jabbed by F'ult6n's unchecked left and right jolts that his eyes were .glassy and he was tottering around on the verge of collapse. @ It was the first bout that has been held in the Garden in long time, and it attracted only fair-sized gath ering. In the ringside boxes were many promin ent New Workers and well-known sporting men. A few women were scattered through the boxes and here and there was club man in evening clothes. The band played and the ropes about the ring were red, white and blue. The new club promoter, MT. Browne, sat in a ringside box with Les Darcy, the Australian middleweight, who is to box Al Mccoy at the Garden on March 5.
 The F>ulton-w -weinert fray was so one-sided that it failed to give much of an idea of. how much Fulton has improved since he met Reich here some time ago. He is bigger, heav- fer, and looks more rugged. His left jab is the best blow in his punching kit, although Weinerts defense last night was so ineffective that Fulton was able to use a right hook with deadly effect.
 Weinert rushed from his corner in the first round and sent left to Full toms body which only caused the big fellow to smile. Fulton then ripped a left, across the Jersey boy's face and shot stiff right jolt, to the body. Soon Fulton had his opponent back against the ropes, where he shower ed blows all over his face Fulton ripped so many stinging lefts that be- fore the round ended Weinerfs eyes were closing and his mouth badly - Any resistaAce which weinert might have had in reserve against this box CT, who lowered above him out of all proportion, was taken, out of him in round was a sad affair for Weinert For brief period Weinert was arous- ed from his semi i-conscious state and peppered a few blows to Fulton's face. After that he was through and Full ton battered him all over the ring, while the blood flowed from his mouth. When Weinert started to get wobbly in the knees, Referee Brown stopped the bout.
