K.O. on Fulton
In q Seconds
Continued from page

Jack De,,psey's
Knockout Victims

emily had not yet realized just what
had happened.
No sympathetic hand was held out
to shake his hand, no voice acclaimed
him, and his going out was in striking
contrast to the triumphal march of
Dempsey to the dressing-room
1t was announced before the men en-
tered the ring that Fulton and
Dempsey We're to receive $l2.500 apiece
for their services. If this was based
on fact. Jack Curley, the man who
promoted the bout, must have been a
heavy loser, for there were not more
than 5000 persons in the ball park
when the fight began.
From another source. however, it was
reported that the men fought for a
purse of $51 900, with the division be-
tween them not known The $40 seats
were not all filled, and the grand
stands held probably 5000, while sew
eral hundred others held forth in the
bleachers.
AS for the bout itself, it was the short
est fight in which two men contending
for what virtually amounted to the
heavyweight championship of the
world ever took part. Because Of its
briefness the fight failed to give real
line on Dempsey. He never had to
take punch before Fulton was lying
beaten before him, and he was the only
one who handed out punishment
His wide-open style OF fighting,
coupled with the fierceness with which
he rushed from his corner at the
sound of the bell, reminded those at
The ringside of the late Stanley Ketchel,
the "Michigan Assassin" He never
gave Fulton a chance, after the opening
rush, of using his deadly left hand lab,
and when it came to battling chest to
chest Dempsey was so far superior
that there was no comparison.
Suspicion would not down among
those who sat at the press stands that
Fulton was weak-hearted even before
the bell rang, and that a man with
more fighting courage might have re-
gained his feet after the knockdown.
That may be doing an injustice to Full.
ton, but there were several things to
bear the belief out.
While the men were STANDING IN N n
centre of the ring to have the "movie"
MIN ground out Dempsey faced the
camera, a scowl on his dark, pugna-
clous face. Fulton, when he noticed that
his opponent was looking the other
way, stole hasty glimpse at Dempsey
SIZING MS man up with half sheer on
MS lips. But as soon as Jack looked
up at Fred the Minnesotan hastily
turned away, as though uninterested.
Among prize fighters these actions
are generally taken to indicate respect
tor an opponent, if not actual fear.
During the time he was on the floor
taxing the count Fulton kept his eyes
lightly closed, although his face was
contorted IN apparent pain. In almost
every instance where a man is knocked
out ms eyes are open and staring, even
though unseeing
Dempsey's weight was announced as
1873 pounds, and Fulton was said to tin
the beam at 20s, and there appeared
at least that much difference between
tho two gladiators.

Daring Aquatic

Recent daredevils fcats attemnted

piolts of the most celebrated of
all human fish," Carlisle D. Graham
OF all the daring perpetrators of
aquatic follics Graham easilv occun;os
first place. He was q cooper by trade
when he first broke into the limelight
back in 1886.
1t is thirtytwo years since great
crowd gathered on the banks of the
Niagara. attracted by the announce
ment that Graham intended to 90
through the whirlpool rapids. Among
his friends Graham was known as an
expert swimmer but his hazardous
exploit of July II, 1886, was his first
public appearance.
Everybody present expected to see
a tragedy, but Graham went through
the whirlpool right side up with
care few years later he repeat
ed this feat, and shortly afterward
made the descent of Horseshoe Falls
in barrel In 1901 he gave an ex.
hlbition of swimming against diff
cultles such as had seldom been
achieved before when he swan the
whirlpool rapids.
On the same day woman, Maude
Wlllars, attempted to go through the
upper rapids in the same barrel as had
been used by Graham, and was suffo-
Gated. In September, 1902, Graham
again swan the rapids, and this was
his last public appearance. The man
who had detied the most treacherous
OF elements, and attained international
lame as strongest swimmer and most
fearless daredevil of the century, after
escaping death in many forms, con-
tracted co Id while sitting in a draft
at home, and died of pneumonia.

The French people don't seem to
have as much home life as we hxve
in our country. After they finish
their work in the evening they go to
the various cafes and drink light
wines and beers and do their gossip
ing. The Americans can't under
stand their rapid conversation. but
II We could translate what they are
saying no doubt we would hear
Madame Houille discussing with
Madame Gautron the relative merits
iof Madame DeBroussard's new hat.
Women are the same the world over.
Many OF these cafes are interest
ing places, particularly at this time.
Here you see the uniforms Of many
nations. Most Of the cafes have mu-
sic by excellent orchestras and some
show movies. They show quite q lot
of western pictures from our coun-
try with wild Indians chasing cow
boys, so the French people think our
main occupation is fighting the In
dians. We know some French girls
who have asked US II we have ever
fought tho Indians. At this season
OF the year they move the tables of
the cafes out on the sidewalks which
practically blocks it, requiring Pc
destrians to walk in the street. There
seems to be no law preventing it and
everybody trots alon the street.
We were told before the war that
France. was a declining nation; II
she was the war has revived her. The
spirit displayed by the people is SIM
ply wonderful and ought to be a
good example to our people in
America. Their story is one of sac
rifice and bravery. Everywhere you
see women taking the places of the
stations. Tonight, as I write, a
charwoman is in the office scrubbing
up the floor. She is a young woman
with refined look, apparently well
educated. Doubtless before the war
she was in good circumstances, now
she has to do dirty work but she
does it cheerfully, she is doing her
''bit.''
The Americans have been well re-
ceived by the French; they like US:
they invite us into their homes If
they are able to entertain and show
er courtesies upon us. They say
they like the American men because
they are so big and handsome and
clean looking. and then behind it all
they appreciate the fact that we have
come to end the war for them, to
strengthen their tired armies which
have fought so gallently for nearly
four years.
