Chantie Man For Merchant
Marine His New War Job

Official Chantie Man for the
American Merchant Marine is a
brand new war job now being
held down by Stanton II. King of
Boston.
King is to revive chantie sing
ing among the young sailors OF
Uncle Sans new cargo ships,
An old salt, who first went to
sea from the Barbados 3S years
ago, and who for years sailed on
deep-water Yankee ships, King
knows that good chantie Is
worth an extra hand. He is the
best known singer OF sailor songs
in the country.
MANY a time when things were
going wrong, a fellow ye-ho-ing
a lively song has put strength into
all our arms" said King.
"You know the sailor has a
sweetheart in every port. But
the sailors heart is not easily
broken, for when one nymph
leaves him he speedily turns to
another. Here's narrowing
pang:
"How I missed her, how ] missed
her,

Fulton has yet to prove that he
has fighting heart. He has new
er been put to a severe enough
test to determine his courage.
Here's the opinion of a famous
referee who has worked with Full
ton in the ring.
HE is hard to handle in
the ring. He acts like a big
baby. He is constantly kick
ing about what the other fell
low is doing. He is always
looking for a loop hole. IL
it wasn't for that Fulton
would be the greatest heavy
weight in the world"
Mind you, this referee DIDN'T
| say Fred is yellow. He intimated
that he hasn't a fighting heart
The man with a real fighting
heart will refuse to accept a ver-
dict on a foul unless he is badly
hurt, he will not bubble about the
size and weight of his opponent.
That was Fitz-that is NOT Full
ton.
Regardless of this, however,
Fulton's recent record has been
mighty impressive. He has
knocked out Frank Moran in three
rounds, the first time the blonde
Irishman ever took the count, al
tho he had fought both Willard
and Jack Johnson.
He knocked out in one round
Tom Mcmahon, who holds a deci-
sion over Willard. The only man
who has broken even with Fulton
in the lats year is Billy Miske who
fought the plasterer a 10-round
draw.
Fulton is not to be despised by
any means. He Is a big strong
fighter with tremendous hitting
power, super-reach and a pair
of educated hands.

FULTONS REACH
84h-lNcHEs
POWERFUL
SHOULDERS

Way back in the nineties there
arrived in America from Australia
fighter whose peculiar build ex-
cited the ridicule of the fight fans
of that day until they had seen
him fight.
Bob Fitzsimmons, the Human
Gorilla, as he was sometimes call
ed, presented to the fighting pub
lie of his day new type of fight
ing machine. Other heavyweishts
of his days, and all former cham
pions in the memory of the fans
of that day had been huge muscled
men Of great weight, bulky from
head to foot, expecting Jim
Corbett, who was graceful in spite
Of his size.
Fitz was a middleweight with
the shoulders and torso of a heavy
weight. From his huge shoulders
hung long flail-like arms. His
reach was tremendous for man
Of his height, he was trifle I'M
der six feet. His waist was slim,
his hips narrow and his body was
set upon a pair of long, thin flam-
ingo-shaped legs, which looked
more like the legs of a Splinter
than those of a fighter.
Fred Fulton, who Is to meet
Willard, is a huge Fitzsimmons.
His shoulders are broad and pow
erful. His reach of "a 1-2 inches
is the longest in the history of the
ring. His waist and hips are
slender. His legs are long and
thin.
In one other way Fulton re-
sembles Fitzsimmons. He uses
the peculiar fighting crouch
which Fitz first made popular in
America, and from this crouching
position he manipulates the great
est left hand in the ring today.

Author Proves
Good Actor on
Hip'S New Bill

Tom Davies is every bit as good
an actor as he is an author. Tom
wrote a vaudeville sktch, Cheek
mated" and then decided to play
in it. So he got a booking over
the Hippodrome circuit, and began
triumphant career. Davies and
his company came to the Hippo
drome in Tacoma yesterday in his
clever farce, and scored the big hit
of the new bill. "Checkmated' is
an original and delightful play,
well presented.
Other good things on the new
Hippodrome bill are the Meryl
Prince girls, a quartet OF dashins
young women with good voices;
Edwards and Louise, in a surprise
act of juggling; Wilson and Sher-
wood, formerly with Docksader's
MINISTRIES, who yodel when they'r
not singing; Sena and Weber,
Bowery dancers; Claire and At
wood, a pretty girl and a tramp;
and Little Red Decides" a Tri-
