Johnny Coulon, former pride of Logan Square, is absolutely through, and after his showing in Los Angeles last night can not hope to cope even with the second raters. Coulon took as decisive a beating as was ever handed a champion. He lasted two rounds and a half and never even slowed Williams up with a hard jpunch. He had no defense and Williams immediately went to work aifd pounded the champion's kidneys. It wasn't a fight. It was a mas sacre. Coulon's star doesn't set in a blaze of glory. He let glowing stories of his wonderful condition come from his training camp. According to these bunk yarns, Johnny was in the best condition of liis career. Fortunate ly few people were influenced to bet much money on him. The fake stuff boosted the gate and helped Coulon swell his last big purse." Williams only got $1,500, as he had to pay Coulon $1,000 to fight him. No one will have to ,pay the Balti Q' morean to give them a fight. He's a real champion. o o Storks, gulls and other long-legged birds sleep standing on one leg. STANDING OF THE CLUBS American League. W.
