SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS

A rected at the Fred Fulton Harry
Wills bout at Newark next Monday
night 1ntimation that the contest is
to be fake is being made in stories
coming from the northern part of New
Jersey. One critic. Jackie Farrell by
name, writes: why is it that Fred
Fulton should be so eager to fight
Harry Wills? For no other reason, so
we have been given to understand by
party who knows what he is talking
about than that there has been mu-
tual agreement effected whereby Willis
Is to lay down to Fulton within five
rounds in order to pave the latter's way
clear to return bout with Dempsey.
In that event and should Fred be fortu-
nate enough to cop Mr.. Dempsey's title,
the southern negro would be given a
return bout" All of which Is putting
the thing pretty strongly in cold type:
still there may be nothing to the alleged
frame. Monday night will tell.

20 sell the drug, and through an agent
20 deliver il to the purchaser In N
Paso- Officers claimed that Illicit
dealers in morphine throughout the
country depend upon such methods
