FULTON LOOKS A
 REAL CHAMPION
BIG FELLOW IS RANGY. FAST AND PROVES THAT HE KNOWS SOMETHING OF THE
 GAME.
Lets Marshall Claiborne and Jack Colman Battle Along Through Three Rounds Each With Him as Days Workout.

1 Fred Fulton, aspirant for tLe heavyweight championship, was seen in action here for the first time last night when before a large audience of local and visiting fans, he went three rounds with Marshall Claiborne of this city and Jack Colman of Texas. Fulton made no effort 10 stop his opponents. He had missed his after noon's workout at the gym where he Is bathing, and he needed the work
 last night, so he took the full three rounds of it with each of the men. Colman first stepped into the rins with Fulton. The champion is long and rangy, and has skill in boxing.
 He Is faster than most big men, too, and after a very little maneuvering. Colman realized that the sooner the three rounds were over the sooner his pay was earned He was not over Jealous. He did his hest, however. 1 out always stepped into some short jab or body hook, and that, too with out the steam behind it that Fulton might well have placed At the end i of the third round Colman left well pleased that he hac remained so long with so few souvenirs of the occa- sion.
 Claiborne got a geod hand when he stepped in for his three rounds. He is ambitious He always fights like he works-the hardest he knows how. Whether his opponents are big or lit tie, he always gets whatever Marshall 1 can deliver, and the audience srtight- ened up because they knew Marshall would entertain Fulton the best he knew how He did However that entertainment never disturbed the mild tempered big blonde boy. and he contented himself with jabbing Clai- borne around with light punches un- 1 Ill he had changed the aspirations oi our local man, and then everybody was pleased anyhow. because they didn't want to see anything more thar they did-that was .ae big fellow ir 1 lively action
