16.-Fred ThesmaE Virsinia's vars

the game the remainder Of the
season as the result of a bad
shoulder which was dislocated In
the Richmond U. game. He was

Lewis started in center Saturday
only to be forced to leave after
a few plays.

English Have Failed
To Be Worried
AT PUTTING

Much stress has been laid
on the importance Of putting
during the past season, but the
warning note Of this stroke Of
the game was first sounded
away back in 1904 when w.
]. Travis went over to Sand
wich and won the British anna
teur with his putter by de-
feating Edward Blackwell, q
disciple Of the long game.
At that time the British
critics remarked that the world
better watch out for these
deadly American putters. but
it seems that they have failed
to take advantage of that
warning.

Burke, not usually an aggressive
fighter, won over Fulton by the
simple process of carrying the
battle to the Pallid Plasterer all the
way. BARLEY Madden, much small
er than Fred, did the same thing to
him at Madison Square Garden
some months ago, and we thought
BARLEY should have had the de-
eision. He got a draw.
Fulton came marching out Of
Minnesota q few years back
equipped in many ways to become
one of the greatest heavyweights
the ring has ever known. He had
size and strength and murderous
left hand.
He lacked only the fighting
heart, and no man, however wise
he may be, has ever been able to
discover q method Of putting that
in a fighter.
We do not say that Fulton was
positively cowardly-".yellow." He
simply lacked the fortitude to bear
up and keep fighting when the
battle was coming to him in fierce
waves. He has lost battles when he
was winning. He has been beaten
by men Of less than half his ability
who had the old fighting heart.

WILLARD Ring Sulker

DEMPSEY stopped Fulton in a

Harrison. N. j., and landed

Fulton.
Many ring worms thought Full
ton quit to Dempsey in that first
round on the strength of a single
match. Yet Fulton whipped
Frank Moran in three rounds,
and Frank certainly was coura-
seous enough, as he has just
proved again in his fight with
Beckett. II Fulton had had Mo-
rams fighting heart, along with
his own natural ability, he would
have won the championship long
ago, and would still be champion.
A composite statement from
Fulton's many managers would
probably throw considerable light
on the Pallid Plasterer. He first
came to New York with Frank
Force, a sporting writer; then
with Mike Collins, q grand char
acter in the boxing game, and he
finally had as his manager the
veteran, Tom O'Rourke.

WYE note that one bud of
" pugilistic promise on which
w we shed the waters Of pub
licity not long ago has suddenly
been crushed.
Sully Montgomery, the former
Centre College football star, who
played a great game against Har-
ward when the Kentuckians beat
the Crimson two years ago, was
knocked out in eight rounds at
Fort Worth, Tex, recently by Glen
Clickner.
Sully is q heavyweight and Click.
rer is a middleweight, which would
argue that Sully might as well turn
his attention back to his original
idea of becoming Q minister right
away. Clickner was stopped in
seven rounds by Jeff Smith, the
Bayonne miGdleweight.
Montgomery gave quite bit OF
promise in his early bouts. He was
under the management Of Ben Dob
bert, q well-known navigator Of the
Western pugilistic waters. Then
Sully got married, retired from the
game for a few months, and has

A good pulpit FOUNDER might be
spoiled to make an Indifferent
fighter if Sully continues in the
