DEMPSEY MATCH
Fred Fulton Asks for Chance
to Come Back in Benefit d.
Bout to Be Staged in
Twin Cities. !
BY RINGSIDER.

B
you haven't quite forgotten him en-
! tirely-has come up for air.
The Rochester giant. recently
squelched in no uncertain terms by
the man-eating Dempsey, is able to
sit upright and take nfurishment, if
it is only chic ken broth. Also, as the
warmth of said nourishment finds
its way through his vitals, he is ap-
parently willing to talk fight again
the usual custom of forgetting about
the retirement talk being followed in
his case.
The day Of so after a man gets an
awful crack on the chin he hates the
world and says he never will face a
fist again. A few afternoons of
bright sunshine and sympathetic
bfeezes and the merry laughter of
a few wee ones changes the whole
situation. This is philosophy and
history combined.
Fred, be it known. wants to fight,
and strangely enough he wants to
fight Dempsey. He says he does,
at least-but so, oh Zarathustra said
Willard, was it years, years ago. or
when?
Denny Scanlon, OF St. Paul, is the
man who carries the message to
Garcia. Dempsey, now in Uncle
Sums dress suit as athletic director
of the aviation mechanics training
school of that city, believes Fred
means it. He was in Chicago the
other day en- route for Camp Cor
don, Ga. to take course in bay
onet practice.
Denny says Fred wants return
go, most of the proceeds to be for
charity, perhaps Fred's charity. He
wonders if Jack will consent Denny,
who was an old hand at the promo
ton game, wishes this promotion to
go through. -
Fulton wants to box Dempsey
matter of 10 rounds, all of which
Twill be in St. Paul or Minneapolis,
and bpes, Denny says, that they
will last more than the unlucky
% seconds that defeating battle i'll
the east lasted. Unlike Willard, he
thinks Jack should be given a nom
inal sum for his services in facing
him. After that is taken out of the
gross proceeds, along with such
other incidental expenses as may be
incurred, the remainder is to go to
athletic funds for the aviation fund.
Nothing, we say, could be fairer.
Denny Talks For Fred.
Denny, speaking for Fred, says he
can be quoted as follows:
TT is my belief that I am just as
good a boxer as ever" Fred is quot
ed by Denny. Further it is my belief
that I can outlook any living man,
and | do not bar, in speaking in this
vein, my conqueror, Jack Dempsey.
Had I been beaten down in a long,
hard fight by this fellow / would not
say such a thing, bat the result,
while decisive, was not, to me at
least, convincing.
always I have known l could |!
beat Jess Willard and | feel so sure
of that that it is a laughing matter
with me. / believe at least six men
in this country can whip him thor
oughly inside of 10 rounds. To him,
therefore give little heed. and in
that stand the public surely agrees
with me.
1T Is Dempsey I want to attract.
If he will box,me 10 rounds in Min
nesota we can get lot of money for
the fund | speak of. l would be glad
to have a chance to put this over,
and to show the world l can come
back"
What Dempsey will say to the
proposition is yet to be- found out,
but knowing him to be fighting
man, with nary fear in his make
up, we would not be surprised if he
will accept these terms even more
quickly than Bulgaria recently &C.
cepted the terms of the Allies.
