Champion Wants to
Arrange Clash With
Lightweight Leader

New York, Nov. Tied Kid
Lewis, the former welterweighs
champion, is anxious to arrange a
bout with Benny Leonard to decide
superiority. in their last meeting
it was the consensus that the fight
was an even affair. Leonard is now
in a position where worthy rivals
are scarce. With Lewis as his op-
ponent it would mean a real cham
pionship affair as far as class is con-
cerned.
Leonard admitted after his fight
with Lewis that lie considered Ted
the hardest hitter he ever faced.
Lewis is satisfied he can outhit the
lightweight champion and, with this
factor, in his favor, would force
Leonard to travel at lightning speed.
Several clubs have offered to stage
the bout, SO when Billy Gibson re-
turns to Detroit he will be prof
Tered a sum SO substantial that he
will hardly decline the match.

British Fans Opinion
OF Ability Of Fred
Fulton Amusing Here

New York, Nov. 1.-Reports from
England to the effect that the Brit
ish boxing fans do not think much
of the ability of Fred Fulton can
only cause amusement in this coun-
try.
OF course, Fulton was knocked
out in one round by Jack Dempsey.
But save for this setback at the
hands of the man who is now cham
pion of the world and probably the
greatest fighter who ever wore the
heavyweight crown, Fulton's ring
record is good one.
His one fight in England was
against Arthur Townley. He stopped
Townley in the first round. Since
then he has been trying in vain to
secure match with Joe Beckett,
the English champion. But Beck
EFT studiously ignores him.
As matter of fact, Fulton would
probably knock Beckett out in a
couple of rounds. He outclasses the
Englishman physically and, accord
ing to all accounts, Beckett is not
very skillful boxer and is easy to
hit. 4
Fulton should be able to beat three
or four Becketts in one night. The
Britisher probably knows this, and
hence by belittling Fulton hopes to
put a damper on any agitation that
may be brewing in London for
Fulton-Beckett meeting.
Fulton is matched to meet P. 0.
Curran, a third-rater, at Plymouth,
England, for a l5-round go in the
near future. Fulton should have no
trouble defeating Curran a long way
inside the journey.
Fulton will sail for home on No

Owens, a freshman, took Blythe's
position at half and played a star
role; Cole was shifted to left
guard. and Goodwin was put in at
left end. The shift that took place
on the Bluffs line rendered it stone
