Collins Once
Managed Fulton

Collins once managed Fred Fulton.
the diving plasterer.
In fact he handled Fulton when the
Minnesota Annette Kellerman did his
famous act with Dempsey In Jersey
before Dempsey won the title.
Dempsey had been coming fast Z"
says Collins. but nobody figured him
to be as good as he was. They went
into training for the fight and Full.
ton. whose mental attitude was ev.
erything in his fighting. figured him.
self TO win.
We had 100000 worth OF fights
lined up after the Dempsey scrap and
II looked like n big season.
And then. a few days before the
fight, the New York scribes began
playing UP Dempsey In their columns.
He was something new. showed a
punch and gave them something to
write about.
Fulton let these articles prey upon
his mind and lost confidence. That's
all that he needed to become one OF
the greatest heavyweights the game
has ever known. He had the boxing
ability and the punch, but no more
heart than bantie chick.
The day before the fight Fulton
weighed 2l6 pounds That day the
New York papers quoted Dempsey as
being fayorits in the betting. Full.
ton. reading this, was n beaten man
before he ever entered the ring.
Five O'Clock, the morning OF the
fight, his trainer came 20 me and told
me that Fulton hadn't been able to
sleep that night, hadn't even been in
bed.
II rushed to his room and there, on
the floor scattered all around him,
were copies Of all OF the New York
papers.
Fulton showed them 70 me and
said that this was a serious fight for
him and that Dempsey looked tough
or than he thought ! tried 10 talk
him out Of that attitude. but II was
useless.
when he weighed In for the fight
he tipped the scales at 206 pounds,
having lost 10 pounds in a night.
"The fight was n Joke. Dempsey
hit him With left hook in the stom
ach and crossed his right TO the Jaw
and Fulton was out in 10 seconds
Fulton couldn't even hold up his
hands. Jackie Coogan could have
hit him with a lef hook in the stom-
Ind told him II was Dempsey he wal
fighting.
"That ended my business connoc.

Tommy. on tho other hand Is a

Against great fighters Mike was

HARDWOOD DATA
 TO BE RESUMED
Institute Votes To Revive Serv-
 ice-Will Charge $9S.OS

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 26.-Mem- bers of the Hardwood Manufacturers Institute, at a special meeting here to- day, voted unanimously to resume as soon as possible the issuance of sta tistical information concerning the hardwood industry and covering spe- officially such items as production, stocks on hand and past sales prices.
 The decision to resume issuance of statistical data, discontinued several months ago, followed lengthy opinions by J. V. Norman, counsel for the instl- tute, and w. K. Satterfield, a hardwood manufacturer as to the legality Of the practice of members of the institute ex- changing information regarding the con dition of the industry. Both expressed the opinion that any suggestion of H. legality would bring about test case against the institute, which would re- suit in clarification of the antitrust laws, under which the supreme court of the United States held the issuance of similar data by the old American Hardwood Manufacturers Association to be in restraint of trade.
 The institute also fixed definite cost for the service. This cost would be $9S.03, plus levy of 6h cents per thousand feet, log scale. Members who furnish the statistical information would be entitled to a refund of two cents per thousand feet.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN NEW YORK, June 26.-William J Bryan took the speech of Forney John ston of Birmingham, delivered yester' day, as a text for preachmeht and an excuse to repeat his frequent criticism of Senator Underwood.
 He declared that which everybody knows, namely, that when constitution al prohibition was an issue, Senator Underwood opposed it.
 Fears BloOdshed
 He revealed opposition on his part to stringent anti-klan plank, and in dicated that his opposition was based on fear lest such an issue in the cam paign might result in actual bloodshed second massacre of St. Bartholomew Bryan is instructed to vote for w. G McAdoo.
 Senator Underwood declined to dis cuss the criticism of Mir. Bryan. Il was evident, however, that the singlini out of the Alabamian by MT. BryaT for the purpose of attacking him pleased the senator. It was plain tha the senator regarded the Bryan expres sion as one based on knowledge that il view of the senator's platform he il unexpectedly strong among the dele gates to the convention.
 Underwood Optimistic
 There is considerable optimism to night in the Underwood camp. The Bryan attack was regarded as just Ont of several straws indicating Underwood strength. Another was the unmistaka ble evidence in the convention this aft ernoon that the enthusiasm invoked fol the senator yesterday still prevails. Vii liam R. Pattangall of Maine, in second ing the nomination. of the Alabamian hast that hes lost xepal states | the south simply because he had hat the courage to meet an issue which wa regarded by some other public men al dangerous. This statement was receives with warm applause.
 The situation in general is stil chaotic. The convention, it is now evi dent, will extend itself into next week There is a chance that the candidate who, when the delegates are financially distressed, is the most popular, will b' nominated. At present, despite various claims that conflict, no one can ven ture an intelligent guess.
