FRED FULTON, SINCE THE DEMPSEY DEFEAT, HAS STAGED REAL ‘COMEBACK*
WiNe 15
STRAIGHT ‘
’ .
Almost Certain of Getting Return
' ’
Bout With Champion—Jack
Peeved at Fred,
e e T
i By JAMES J. CORBET. |
. Fred Fulton certainly is redeem-.
ing himself.
The Minnesota plasterer, inaugu
rated a' ‘“‘comeback” some months
after Jack Dempsey checked his up
ward march in July, 1918, and since
that time he has plastered the word
“defeat” upon every opponent he has
confronted. |
Fulton has mingled in 15 battles
gince he was knocked cold in less
than half a minute by Jack Demp
sey—and eleven duels have resulted
in knockout victories for him. He
won the other four, either on referee
or popular decision. ‘
_ Winning fifteen straight. fights,
against all comers, is truly a re
markable showing. And it is about
sufficient to merit Fulton another
crack at Dempsey. From what I
know of Dempsey’'s feelings toward
Fulton, I am confident that in due
time Dempsey will give Fulton an
other fight. |
“And it'll] be another beating,” de
“¢lares the champion. |
FRED CHICKEN-HEARTED. \
Dempsey never held Fulton in very
high esteem L’na fighter. He had
been told long Mbefore he met Fulton
that the latter was “chicken hearted.”
He was also told that Fulton couldn’t
stand up long under body walloping.
The Dempsey-Fulton fight proved lt.‘
for Fulton was through when the‘
first punch landed and went down
and out in jig time, '
Fulton afterward issued an alibl.
He declared that the fight was to
have been' a “frame” but that Demp
sey had double crossed him by soaks~
ing hjgm when he (Fulton)' didn’t ex
pect it. The outery by Fulton, in
stead of helping him, caused him
{;ore damage and trouble than would
ve a half dozen beatings in suc
cession. The public lost confidence
in him. |
Dempsey, in a heated interview,
denied the Fulton charge of frame
up. And, a short while later, Ful
ton admitted that Dempsey was right
—that there had been no pre-ar
rangement and that Dempsey had
won the fight on his merits. Fulton,
in an effort to right the wrong he
had done Dempsey—and to try to
pull himself out of the hole—declared
that he had yelled “frameup” because
he-was badly advised. |
Someone, friendly to Fulton, real
izing that the decfeat of the plasterer
was a bad thing for Fulton, influ
enced Fred to issue the false state
ment hoping, perhaps, for Fulton’s
sake, it would act as a complete ali
bi for Fulton's defeat. üßt it didn't.
It had a boomerang effect. Fulton,
becoming painfully aware _ this, |
then came out and told the gflflm |
But the fact that he had: a.‘xtqnpfed]
to defame Dempsey created consid
erable enmity toward Fulton. He
canld get no fights because promot
ers. at the time, were not at all keen
to stage him in any bout. They de
cided that he wouldn’t draw. ¢
Fulton, in desperation, went to Eu
rope. He tried to get fights with
Georges Carpentier and Joe Beckett.
They would have none of him. Ful
ton chasel Beckett all around in an
effort to get him into the ring. Fred,
undoubtedly, had Beckett sized up as
the ‘“false alarm” which he proved
to be. But Beckett, then angling for,
a Carpentier match with its ‘greater
stake, would not take cn Fulton. And
so, after beating a few inconsequent
al heavies over there, Fulton came
back. :
By that time the public had some
what forgotten the *“confessions” of
Fulton—and so had the promoters.
They gave Fulton a chance to re
deem himself. He has accomplished
it. He has fought every man worth
while—every, man who would meet
him. And he has romped home an
easy winner in all hut his last Im
portant fight—the one with Frank
Moran.
Certain ecriticlsm is made of Tul
ton because he did not put away
Moran. More than a year ago he
fought Moran in New Orleans and
knocked him out in three rounds.
Since then Moran has slipped as a
fighter. A‘a go it was assumed that
in their Jaßuary meeting in Newark
that Fulton would have an easier
time.
__ But, instead, Moran went the full
elght rounds. True, Moran was in
bad shape after the early fighting
and never had a chance to win for
himself. But he proved too tough,
even though he was a broken, bleed
ing fighter, for Fulton to put to
sleep. All of which causes some per
sons to claim that Fulton has lost
his wallop.
However, Fulton seems entitled to
another fight with Dempsey. He is
anxious to get the chance—and I
guess Dempsey is just as anxious to
tackle him. In fact, I believe that
Dempsey would rather try conclu
sions right now with Fulton than
anyone else in the game. He is still
wgered because of Fulton's “frame
up” story and keen to take it out
on Fulton if they meet in the ring.
The Dempsey-Carpentier fight prob
ably will be first heavyweight cham
plonship hout to be served up to the
public. But, if Fulton doesn't suffer
anv set-backs fn the meantime, it's
a mighty safe bet that the next big
battle after that will Involve Ful
ton and his conqueror.

Some funny happenings down a t the Auditorium these days as the
basketball fan and his unfortunate b rother, who is not so well versed in
the game, but who is desirous of learning, sit and discuss the batt'es.
Yesterday | drifted over to the boxes near where a young gentleman
and his lady friend were stting watching the play. The young man
evidently didn’t know‘ great deal a bout basketball, but wanted to leave
the impression with the sweet, you ng thing at his side that he did.
A player had just been banned for his fourth personal four.

poor boy,and he was so good looking. What did they make his quit for?”

and finallly announced nanchalanrtly:
“He's made four personal insul ts, and when they get four personal

“’agin.gm an uphill battle from tho “
start, the Kansas City Athletic Club
came from behinf in the last 'l§~-:
minutes of play and scored ten.
points, defeating the Crescent Ath-:-
letic Club of New York, 27-19, in"’
the first game of Thursday's Cham- _
plonship basketball play at the Au= .-
ditorium. S 8
The game was a corker from ev- °
ery angle, and the teams played nip. .
and tuk from the start, with the
Crescents in the lead up until u:g
very last of the game. The New
Yorkers were never able to amass. .
more than a 3-point lead, however; .
and the result was for the major:
portion of the game in doubt. gy
The score at the end of the first -
period was 13-11, with Crescent
hoMing the slight margin. Then for
the first twelve minutes of the seps:
ond period they managed to retain
this lead. Here the K. A. C. called .
for a rest, and after the rest, which °
had a wonderful effect on the play
ers, Moberly, left forward for tha °
Missourians, went wild., He shot -
three straight field goals in rapid °
succession, and the house, whicl -
was very partisan to Kansas, also”"
went wild. !
To say that he won the gamée
would not be stretching it. His
floor work was good, his passing as"
accurate as any on the floor, and his
work at the close of the game won'
the cpntest. He was ably aided by
the sorrel-topped De Barnady, who,
although he failed to score a single
point, was alsp a major cog in the *
machine. &
The long shots of Kinney win for®
him the leading honors for the Cres+
cents. It was his long shots that at "~
times were phenomenal, that kept'
the losers in the lead the biggest™
part of the conflict. Nicholas and
McTigue of the same club deserve
praise for their work. Nichola#,
who starred in the game Wednesdnf"
with the Northern Paper Mills, was'
again playing the floor in a grand
style. He is remarkably fast, and his™
long range shot came at a good time?
| Singer, right forward for Kansas)’
’was hurt right after the second haM "
opened, and for a few minutes therg®
was doubt as to his returning to thé"’
game. He stuck it out, and his total"
of four field goals and three fou®™
goals were needed. g
Both teams missed an unforgivable®
number of goals. Several times tha®-
players would be right under ths"
goal only to toss the ball wildly. Th
score wocld have been much larger”
in round numbers but for this weak+"
ness of both teams. 181
