Fulton Shows EngIishmen He
Can Fight by Knocking Out
Australian Giant Quickly.

AUSTRALIAN Glant uulckly.
TIRED FULTON has again shown
English fistic fans that he can
tight but whether his exhlbi-
Ton will get him what he went TO
Europe for, matches with Carpenter
and Beckett, Is another matter. Full
ton last night knocked out Gordon
Coghill, an Australian giant, in the
third round. and in doing 30 put the
kibosh on the statement OF an Eng
ish expert that he Is built along the
wrong lines for a fighter. Fulton
doubtless Is built along the wrong
lines for English heavyweights 10
take a chance with. Now perhaps
he will be sldetracked altogether.
Tom ORourke, who took the long
plasterer TO Europe, had planned to
sail for home on Nov. 10, but the re-
suit Of last nights fight may change
Lis plans.

fans Of New York and vicinity
VIII have something 70 enthuse over
during the winter months. While they
may have to go TO Jersey for their
boxing, for the time being at least, the
mat game promises 20 be sufficiently
attractive 10 bring them TO the Garden
As OF yore. OF course Jack Curley
wiz DO the man TO provide the sport,
~ such IL can be called, and he Is at
present mapping out programmes
which promise to bring together the
oeSt men IN the business. with the
possible exception OF Plestlna, who
last winter created such a furore try
Ing 20 break into" some OF the big
matches here. II seems as " he
doesn't hobnob with the right set.
Either that or he Is too good for the
other grapplers and is, accordingly,
6tdetracked.
Curley announces that the opening
event OF the season viii bring together
Joe Stecher and Stranger Lewds on
Nov. ,. Stecher and lewis are among
the most popular of the mat artists
because OF their sensation producing
holds. Stecher is the originator OF tho
famous scissors hold. by which he
squeezes his opponents into submis-
sion with his legs, and Lewis special
ineo in the head lock. n viselike grip
with his arms around the head. which
Is almost as deadly AZ the stranglo
hold, now barred In all self-respecting
wrestling company.
In the Stecher-Lewis match IL is
stipulated by the promoter that II
must be wrest1ed 70 a finish. In other
words. Il can't be ono ~ those long
drawn out draws, with nobody hurt
but the feelings of the audience. One
OF the men must secure n fall TO win
the match. IL makes no difference, ac-
oording 20 Curley, how long the match

the patrons will get their money
back.
n TO wrestling season could be
IN started with but one match, so
already wires are being laid for
subsequent clashes. For instance Earl
caddock has already been resurrected
with a Wow to challenging the winner
of the opening event. Caddock quit
the game 10 go 20 war and came back
in such bad shape that he announced
his retirement from the game. He
went up 10 a mountalneeTs camp in
Wyoming last June TO recuperate and
now has changed his mind about quit
ting.
According TO a wire from his rep
resentative, Gene Malady OF Omaha,
Caddock now feels satisfied that his
health and condition Justify his step
ping back into the championship
shoes he flied before he went 10 wal
for Uncle Sam. Malady sends Cur
ley this message:
Have Just received n wire from
Earl He Is At to win feld will b.
on the Job about Nov. i5.'
As II IL weren't enough to have Cad
dock ut and ready for engagements
Curley has brought Wladek Zbyszko

up at his home at old Orchard Beach
