FlJENTE.FULTON
 CASE SERIOUS
Many Witnesses To Be Called On Frame
 Up Case

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 70 Rumors of frameup, reports Of orl- bery, stories o2 confessions, charges Of crooked work, enough to keep Sherlock Holmes busy Investigating for years to come, are flying about here ln and out of boxing circles following the at- fair at Culver City Monday night when Fred Fulton, Minnesota plasterer- fighter, telescoped on the canvas at the feet of Toney Fuente, Mexican heavy weight, 35 seconds after the starting gong rang.
 Fulton, Fuente, Fred Windsor, man ager for Fuente, and Jack Reddy, manager for Fulton are under S1,ooo bail each, waiting to appear on charges of having violated Californlas boxing law which prohibits fighting for any thing more valuable than $35 medal. This law is the one that will die early next year to be succeeded by the 10 and 12 round statute approved at the last election.
 The principals all deny knowledge of frameup, but the district attorneys office says it has, records of admissions made before the Fulton-Fuente meeting that indicate a shady deal. The district attorneys Stenographers are grinding out subpoenas for ringsiders to appear at the hearing.
 The list includes Jim Jsfferies, who once held the world heavyweight cham pionship and his brother, Jack; Tom Kennedy, erstwhile heavyweight boxer of note Tom Jones; who managed Bill Papke, Ad Wolgast and Jess Willard |; Arl Mohan, boxing authority and ring follower; George Blake, boxing instruct or for the Los Angeles Athletic club, Leach Cross, once contender for the world lightweight championship; Tom my Ryan, formerly welterweight and middleweight champion of the world i; Jack Root, first light heavyweight world champion; Joe Levy, who mani aged Joe Rivers and other noted boxers ; Frank Keenan, stage and film actor |; Lew Cody, also of the screen and a score of others.

TlJNNEY ANXIOUS
 FOR BIG PURSE
Champion Wants Much Pay For Fight With
 Gibbons

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-1t is not fear but business that stands in the way of Gibbons -Tunney fight, Gene Tun- ney, American light-heavyweight cham pion, explained to slug enthusiasts Thursday. If Gibbons will meet him under certain conditions, Tunney will risk bout, he says.
 Tunney has been reading lot in the papers recently about wonderful busi- ness prospects ahead and he has de- clined that prosperity. Although it is hound to come, would be more perma- nent if he fought in an open air arena rather than at Madison Square Gar den. A fight in the garden would hardly net enough to pay the referees charges while an open air fight would keep the landlord and hat check girls satisfied for some tune to come. That is Tunney's first stipulation.
 Must Issue Challenge
 of Gibbons will issue a formal chal- lenge to me and will accept the 12 1-2 lper cent share of the receipts which the rule provides for the challenger, l will meet him next summer, the cham pion added. T had to accept those conditions when l won the title and as champion l demand the right to name my own terms"
 The box-fighter denied that he had received summons to appear before the boxing commission recently when Harry Wills and Jack Renault said they could not fight Gibbons because they had sore hands.
 ''The only summons I got was to ap- pear on November 21 before the commis- sion in reference to the challenge I is sued to Mike McTigue. I won't be there because have a trip south," he said.
 It is possible that if Gene doesn't appear Friday the challenge will be thrown out and McTigue will be re- stored to good standing with the com missioners.
