lin his wallop, Fulton is not thought to
be overloaded with gameness. an asset
worth thousands to the boxer. Unless
tomorrow nights affair at New Orleans
ends suddenly in the early rounds. Full
toms courage should be welI-testsd, for
no one has ever accused Frank Moran
OF lacking heart.
Both Are Confident.
Both Fulton and Moran are sure Of
winning. Both are sure Of winning with
knockout. too. Fulton believes vic
tory will come to him because Of his
superior boxing skill and his punch He
thinks he will have the Pittsburgher
tied up in knot at all times and will
put over his haymaker where and
when he wishes.
Moran expects to be outboxed He
knows he does not class with Fulton IN
cleverness. But Frank banks on his
ability TO stand punishment long enough
to take the heart out Of Fulton and then
shove over his Mary Ann" his solid
right to the jaw.
Moran has nothing to lose in tomOr-
rows battle He has much to win. Vic
tory will make him a hero among his
soldiers at Camp Wadsworth. Spartan

Willard fought q decisionless. un-

is an eventful day In the ring careers
