no new men worthy Of note rose TO

Smith. the Flynns-all went down and
out. Fulton was snuffcG out in one
round by Dempsey. and ALske is too

but he is not a hitter. and any u.s.
FOUNDER who cannot purch is not to
be considered seriously in any heavy
weight championship discussion.
There are sOn1e-Jim COfiroEil among
them-who still adhere 10 the belief
that Fulton is the greatest heavy

Fulton was the victim Of q lucky
