Fulton Is going to lick everyone In his division, he says. If Willard doesn't soon agree to meet him in a battlo for the heavyweight honors. FuUon's manager, Frank Force, recently declared that Fred was the only fighter in the business worthy of entering the ring against Willard and able to give the champ a real battle. There have been matches between "Willard and FUlton signed up before but every time something happened to stop things before the fight could take place. At present there is nothing in the way except the seventy or eighty pounds of extra weight that Willard will have to lose before he reaches fighting condition. Willard is not eager to fight again but the general idea is that If he must fight he'd rather meet Fulton than anyone el3e. It is probable that Fulton would put up a3 good a fight against I the champ as -any other, especially aince he is almost as larze as Willard and could perhaps reach him occasionally. This is more than can be said for many other fighters who are too light.to be considered a good match against the giant champ. Fulton and. his manager have said that if a match with Willard is not soon fixed up they will start through the heavyweight division and clean up every one in sight. Frank Moran was mentioned as one of the first of thoee they'd trounce. However, a match with Moran was recently offered and Fulton and his manager appeared to be disinclined. The reason for this has been inferred by some, who. feel that the promoters of a "Willard-Fulton go called a halt ' to the Moran match. It is thought that one of Frank Moran's hardest a SPORTO' (By "C u T*athor (lander. See, see. "What shall I see? A horse's head whore his tail should be?

Old Jack was one of the wiliest and trickiest ring generals the game has ever had. He claimed the heavy-weight Championship when Jeffries retired, and fought a twenty round draw with Tommy Burns in Los Angeles ten years ago. but in a subsequent meeting in the same city the Canadian defeated him. Old Jack was afterwards knocked out by Stanley Ketchel and Sam Langford. Young Jack showed great promise when he began fighting, and Philadelphia fans believed that ho was a coming champion. baseball circles in 1908. when he got a job with Winchester in the Blue Grass League. He pitched for the Kentucky team three seasons, and landed in the big show with the Cub3 In 3-911. He was used veiy little in . Chicago, and in the spring of 3 912 was optionally rlcased to Louisville. The Cubs recalled him in mid-season, but soon turned him back to tho Col, onels. In 1914 Toney won twenty. one games, losing fifteen, in the American Association, and was drafted by the Dodgers, hut was turned over to the Beds. Fred had been knocked about from piTar to post without having a chance to show his goods in the big show, but his confidence in himself was undiminished, and last year he made a great showing with the Beds. With a 1.57 average of runs scored against him, he stood second-in fho National League in 1915. This year hlB work was rather disappointing to the Bedbugs, his average being 2.28, while he won fourteen and lost seventeen contests.
