Frank Moran Loses Popular Decision
To Fred Fulton in Big Jersey Battle
COCHRAN WILL
NOT LET FIGHT
GO IN JERSEY

New York. Jan. 12.-Charies b.
Cochran. the British tight promoter,
made a complete right-about-face to-
day on the proposition that the
Dempsey Carpenter fight be held in
New Jersey.
.Cochran's change of sentiment re-
garding an eight-round fight in Jer-
sey between the world champion and
the French challenger is due to the
fact that the Englishman wants to
stage the match over a champion
ship distance. He is doubtful whether
an eight-round fight will be a great
drawingi card.
81 do not think it at all likely
that any world championship will
be staged in New Jersey" Cochran
said this afternoon. 1T is true that
have been approached by an Amer
lean promoter to join with him in
bringing the bout off on Labor Day
in that State. While giving it con-
sideration, l do not believe that 1t
Will draw nearly as much money in
New Jersey, where the bout would
be limited to eight rounds. as in
London, where the men can box
twenty rounds.
Il should be prepared to give Demp-
sey more to box twenty rounds In
England than eight rounds in New
Jersey. Descamps has cabled me that
he holds himself. as per contract.

over, he states that he has received

shambled around, a man with an iron
heart. and threw his gloves aimlessly
at his big. long-legged punisher to
show his Spartan courage-if you
want to call 1t that. Moran smiled at
Fulton through a rain OF blood as he
shuffied to his corner after the eighth
round.
This was a battle Big Fred never
looked for He pounded Moran so
steadily and mercilessly that after
the seventh he began to fear an in
human being was in front of him, in
