FAKlNC FREDDY
DESERVES CAN
Bookings Future Depends
on Commission S Attitude
Toward Fulton.

Fred Fulton, the heavyweight who
was knocked out in twenty-three
seconds by William Harrison (JacD
Dempsey, in Newark. N. j., last
July, now comes to bat and states
that the bout was a frame-up to
the extent that his manager, Mike
Collins, assured him that it was TO
be a case of eight nice. easy rounds.
Dempsey double-crossed him, says
Fulton. by knocking him out. No
allegation ia made that Dempsey
knew anything about the supposed
arrangement. Nor was the knock
out itself off color. 1t was genuine.
That is not a pitiful plea. 1t is a
mere insult to intelligence. 1t would
be useless to go into diatribes
against Fulton for taking part in
such an affair. The hide Of the self
confessed faker OF his type is so
thick that 1t is a mere waste of time
to throw the harpoon.
The only question at issue is this
viii the boxing authorities of New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland
and other States where the game is
fiourishing more or less ever allow
this self-confessed faker to enter the
ring in their precincts? Will what
ever DOAlnS COMMISSION tfldt may De
appointed under the legislation that
will be passed some day here stand
for him?
The future of Fulton will largely
determine the future of boxing in
this country. What hurt the game
in the past more than anything else
was the proneness of the public and
newspapers to forget the crimes
against the sport perpetrated by
takers. After a few months of the
original furry the fake would pass
into history and the faker would be
allowed to compete as before. 1t
was because of the almost certainty
that they would be forgiven that
the takers faxed, and as long as
that certainty continues they will
repeat.
What saved baseball from ruin
and made it the game il has become
was the fact that when Devlin and
his pals were expelled from the
sport for throwing games in order
to help gamblers they were never
reinstated. One of those men went
down on his knees to President
william A. Hubert, then head of
the National League. who died in
1882. and begged for mercy. Mr..
Hubert gave him money. but swore
a mighty oath that as long as he
