FRED FULTON IS
IN AND OUTER
Boxes Gamely at Times
Sometimes Loses Nerve
Before Fight Begins.

Fred Fulton. the Minnesota giant,
/ defeated Willie Aleehan, the fat boy
I Of the Pacific coast, in an easy man
ner, but still he is far from being
/ considered a dangerous contender
for the heavyweight crown, even
though the same critics gave Meehan
a victory over Jack Dempsey a few
months ago. The fact is these same
critics do not hesitate to say that the
big fellow from Minnesota is lacking
in gameness to such an extent that he
loses his battles before game men be-
fore he really starts, and there is a
lot Of truth in what they say.
II Fred Fulton had the grit and
confidence OF Jack Dempsey, he
would be the greatest boxer in
the world, and unbeatable while
he kept his strength, but that
word @if@ is I'm the way. Fulton
has proven at times that he is
great fighter, bat the Eameness
is not there and that spOils all
as far as championships are con-
eerned.
Fred is naturally left handed, and
this gives him 4 great advantage in
Jabbing an opponent, but he seems
to be unable to realize or take ad-
vantage OF what nature gave him.
IN his fight with Meehan at san Fran
cisco the Minnesota giant just jabbed
Willie TO pieces and gave him a worse
beating than Harry Wills, the cOlOred
wonder, did some time ago, and still
the boxing judges say that Wills
would whip both Meehan and Fulton
in the same ring. Wills is a wonder
full boxer and il was he who gave
Fulton some very valuable advice
while training him for his fight with
Carl Norris at Canton. o. There
have been many boxers who were ac-
cused Of being yellow when they first
started out on their careers. but in
time became just as game as other
fighters
It may be that way with Fulton.
Different surroundings and condi-
tons may change the man and give
him more confidence in himself. He
certainly has q wonderful build for a
fighter. but there must be gray mat
ter" and real nerve and grit to 90
with IL We have seen Fulton in
fights where he showed as much
gameness as any man could. and
again when he has shown the oppo-
site. The fact that he wants to fight
Dempsey again shows that he has n
feeling in his heart that he is not
lead one. yet he was surely a
lead one that afternoon at Harrison. 4
y J., when Jack landed the right ]
lush on his Jaw. Probably II was the I
means OF putting some nerve into I
Tred's system. II so. il may have /
leen a good thing after all.

NEW YORK. Dec 6.-Lawn ennis
MIN all Of its development. has dis
played such an even growth that it
is not at all surprising that it is now
recognized and considered as an all
the-year-round sport. The courts in
the open at Palm Beach. the Vedado
Tennis club at Havana. Cuba. and
those OF southern California always
begin 10 attract the wayfaring fol-
lowers OF the game at this time Of
the year. Those less fortunate are
not deprived Of their part in the
game, however, as the winds OF au-
tumn begin to play pranks with the
ball IN the vicinity Of this city. Then
it IS that they turn TO the indoor
courts.
The number of covered and en-
closed playing surfaces has amaE-
ingiy increased during the past
few years. The number has
become Sc great AZ to cause
some wOnderment and Amusement
when one considers that n mat
ter Of about 80 years ago Tuxedo
established an indoor court and
launched the first national In
door championship tournament n
an e. experiment.
A great many lawn tennis balls
have crossed the net since those days.
and many a champion OF that time
has grown portly.
Exactly as il has been proven that
there Is no lack OF lawn tennis ma
terial for competitive tournaments
upon the out-of-doOr courts. so IL
has at once become evident that the
indoor game is to be stimulated by
newer and well known players

Most prominent in the latter clas-
sificatiOn are Ichiya Kumagae. the
Japanese. who is reported to be in
tent upon trying his hand at the in
door game this year. So far as can
be learned, kumagae has not had any
experience on the covered board
courts. Still. with his aptitude at
driving and his ability to juggle with
speed. he should make one of the in
teresting performers Of the year. and

Many improvements have been made
and much new equipment has been
installed preparatory to the In
auguration Of the vaudeville and pic
ture policy which commences next
Monday.
The newest and best Of electrical
apparatus has been installed which
will insure the very highest results in
the projection. The management have
worked hard to perfect details and Sc
cure list Of excellent attractions
both in the pictures and vaudeville
material so that when the doors open
on Monday afternoon next a show
Will be offered that will meet all ex-
pectations, in fact Manager Greedy
remarked he would not be quite sat
listed unless he even exceeded the ex-
pectations.
Inc big feature picture secured for
the opening is perhaps one Of the
greatest and most appealing he could
have gotten. Blue Jeans" is q DOW
erful story and its adaptation to the
screen has made il even stronger. the
AL star Metro cast featuring clever
little Viola Dana Blue Jeans" is a
seven reel production and not of the
ordinary type. There will be the
usual smaller films and the vaude-
vile.
When it comes to real vaudeville
perhaps few ii any in the eastern
states have had the experience and
knowledge OF this branch Of the en-
tertainment as has Mr.. Greedy. His
past connections and wide acquaint-
ance enables him many advantages In
securing the best available talent in
this line. Augusta people will surely
show their appreciation OF all the
good things planned for their benefit
by making early reservations for
seats Inc management report a big
demand already from outside places
and many local. The prices are most
moderate and include the war tax.
