HEAVY TITLE
Defeats By Fulton And
Miske Hurt rep" of
Oklahoma Fighter

Fred Fulton and Billy Miske be-

ris from serious consideration as a
contender for the crown worn by Jess
Willard.
The Oklahoma fighter, in dfsrepute
because of his rough lighting, seems
TO have slipped even as a mauleF, for
Billy Miske, weighing far less than
Morris, met him at that game and
beat him up badly.
Morris never was an invincible
scrapper. Luther McCarty proved that
more effectively than anyone else
when he stopped Carl in Springfield,
Mo-, but Carl has been able to butt
and slam his way through most of the
opposition hard enough at any rate to
make him serious obstacle in the
paths of most men who aspired to a
bout with willard.
Fred Fulton made himself unpopu-
lar in his New York meeting with
Norris, when he fouled his huge OPP
ponent. He claimed after the bout
that Ii was Morris who did all the
fouling and that he was forced TO foul
tactics i'm self-defense. His shouts
went unheeded until he got Morris
into ring in Ohio and proved that
Morris was foul fighter. Fulton won
the fight and Immediately hoped

more as IL Fred Fulton would have a
chance in a scrap with Willard.
And then il wouldn't be laughable
at all for Fulton If he were to meet
MiSke, for the st. Paul demon has
proved his worthiness against the big
men. IL would be stretching a point
to consider Miske in a bout with Will

for Miske to reach with any telling

Bulgarians that their lives will he
forfeited if they are taken prisoner
by the British, the following extract
from a letter by British officer IN
| the Saloniki front is published by
The Daily Telegraph:
When We rounded up sixty Bull
garians in an attack recently the
poor wretches were utterly terrified.
Two or three tried to drown them
selves in a pool, while others knelt
on the ground making the sign of the
cross and waiting assassins' bayonet
thrust or worse.
"One who was a real sportsman
kept his head and made a desperate
effort to escape, very nearly getting
shot, until he saw it was useless, and
flinging down his rife. surrendered
to an officer. Beside this officer a
Tommy stood watchfully in case the
Bulgar was up TO any nasty tricks.
and the latter seeing this attitude
and taking him for his appointed
murderer, with q dramatic gesture
threw back his head and barred his
chest. He opened his shirt with both
hands, then faced the soldier with
the bayonet whom he supposed 20
be waiting for the officers word to
run him through.
"Tommy's method of easing the
tension was rapid. He brought out
his packet of cigarets and offered
one to the Bulgar.
up to this moment the Bulgar
had been as brave as a lion. but the
offer of the cigaret in place Of the
end of the bayonet was too sudden a
change in his outlook. He gave a
gasp and sat down trembling. unable
to light the cigaret at the match
which the soldier was holding ready
for him..
