Eastern sport writer's that he prove
his worth to a title bout"
Willard was positive. He also re-
fused outright to fight any other OF
the best known 'runners-up" in the
heavyweight division.
Fulton isn't a fighter. He's Quit

I'm after Dempsey They stepped
out on me at New York. l didn't

for the champion"
"Will you tight any other heavy.

Jess was asked.
"Positively not" replied the former
champion. 81 won't meet anybody
but Dempsey. I'm a former cham
pion. The public didn't ask Jeffries
or Corbett or Fitzsimmons to go out
and make a rep when they wanted
return fights. 1t looks to me like

opponent for me. 1t would take me a
hundred years to meet all the white

Willard waxed warm when Fulton's
name was mentioned.
FULTON NO CARD.
