SAYS CAR OPERATION
WILL BE MUCH CHEAPER
In these days of war prices, when
many auto owners are thinking or
talking of storing their machines be
cause of the alleged high cost of oper
ating them, It is decidedly refreshing
to receive a statement like the one
made by Ira II. Duensin?. the manager
of the local Savage company. Mr.
Duenslng claims that taking automo
biles as a whole, they will be operated
more cheaply this year than ever be
fore. He stated further that any advances
In prices of gasoline, oil or other ac
cessories are. after all, of but minor
Importance when compared to the many
needless expenses which motorists
used to stand before they knew op
erating methods as they do now. Cor
rect adjustment of all carburetors
would mean more to car owners than
a 20 per cent decrease in the price of
gasoline and oil. Tires not cared for
and improper methods of starting and
driving, formerlv cost a ereat deal

in 1916, but these cars will be operated

than they ever were. Other things
that will help keep down operating
costs are increased efficiency of auto

Leonard, the fat and lianl Uittmy li(litei(ht, w ho is camping on the trail of Ereddie Welsh. The metropolis

Although Benny is 19 and has been boxing for three J cars in the professional circle, he is far superior to his older

winning the 125-pound amateur national title tn California a couple of months ago. '

ILWAUKKE, Wis.,
last the fistic critics of the east
hate taken Fred Fulton, the
Minnesota giant, seriously, and no
longer refer to him as a "paper con
tender" for Jess Wlllard's crown. Ful
ton's dofeat a technical knockout of
M Reich In New York last week, con
vinced the most skeptical that he ha
all tho qualifications for the making
of a great heavyweight champion. He
till has a few rough edges to be
polished off, but there have been ery
few champions In history who hae
not gone through the same mllL
Finished artists, even in boxing, are
not made right off the reel. They
may have all the qualifications, but it
requires experience to bring the
polish
That is the case or Fulton He hat
the size, strength, weight, knowledge,
and stamina and considerable clever
ness what he needs now is a little
more experience. Fulton has been ac
cused of being "yellow" and even -thlnff
else, but In recent fights he has
proved beyond doubt that he can take
punishment, for he has taken some
pretty severe walldps, and fight back
as strong as ever.
' Helen UK. Hard.
Ttelch has been boosted by the
eastern press as the most dangerous
man among the heavies, because he had
a terrific wallop, although his same
ness was doubted. He proved his
ability to hit by putting over two ter
rific smashes to Fulton's Jaw In the
first round of their scrap. For an in
stant Frederick was dazed, but only an
instant, for he came back so fast, with
a series of left hand jabs, that the
New Yorker was swept completely off
his feet.
If Reich had a chance to win It was
brief, for never did he get an oppor
tunity thereafter to land a stinging
haymaker. Fulton battled as he
planned to use his long left and pro
tect with his right against possible
swihgs. Fred went about his work
like a master mechanic and at the end
of the sixth round Reich was a piti
able sight. His left eye was com
pletely closed, his right eye almost as
lly T. S. AXDIIBWS.
May . At . thought he could whip Fulton easily,
and he may be given a chance, as Mike
Collins, manager of Fulton, Is already
negotiating for matches with both
Coffe and Moran. There is no doubt
now that Mr. Fulton, if he takes care
of himself and continues to improve,
will be the man to dethrone Jess Wil
lard. If there ever was a large edi
tion of Bob Fitzaimmons that man is

hat is the boxer of today coming
to" For the past two years the box
ing promoters and critics of New York
have been howltnc for decision bouts,
some of them have advocated a return
to the Ilorton law days, when 20 round
battles with referees' decisions were
given.
Mong comes New Orleans with JO
round contests and later Kansas City
falls in line with 15 round bouts, both
with referees' decisions. Now Ihe
promoters in the southern metropolis
and the Kaw City complain that they
find it almost Impossible to get -the
stars to perform for them except at
exorbitant prices, on account of the
giving of decisions.
They prefer the nure-thinp game
the 10 round, no-declslon game where
there Is not much chance of losing a
title or reputation It is surely a sad
state of affairs for boxing when many
of the stars are afraid to take a
chance in even a IE round contest As
a result of the actions of some of the
alleged stars, the promoters of Kansas
City and New Orleans are thinking of
cutting out decisions and adopting the
no-decision rule. No wonder Australia
is ahead of this country when it comes
to holding real boxing matches. The
next thing we know the champions
will demand guarantees from the pro
moters against being knocked out
New York Fans KlcMn;?
New York boxing fans will stand for
higher prices than any other place in
the union, but many of them think they
are being made the "goats" for the
benefit of some fighters, and they are
beginning to offer objections. The
promoteis of the Fulton-Reich match
In New York last week charged from
$2 to SIO, and the fans kicked good
and plenty They would have will
ingly paid $5 a seat, but the $10 price

Ileirli Ans Cotcrrd Tip.
Al cotered up all the way after the
third round and Fred took a chance
of breaking a hand every time he let
go for the body or Jaw. Fulton did
damage his left hand in the second
round, which prevented him from put
ting his usual force behind his Jabs,
but he used it enough to make Reich
look foollsn. He did not use his right
because he deemed it best not to do
ho. although he would have made a
bigger hit with the crowd had he
taken a chance and let go a couple of
haymakers. However, he was out to
win and played safe.
The referee. Bill Brown, warned
Reich in the seventh and eighth
rounds to open up and fight or he
would award the verdict to Fulton,
and when Al would not do so In the
ninth, he stopped the bout, Fulton
winning on a technical knockout. Ful
in w; fast in his movements and
his Jabbing was lightning fast Bill
Brown, the referee, was much im

Dillon's the Bearcat.
There is no longer any doubt as to
who holds the light heavyweight
championship .Tack Dillon, the Hoo
sier bearcat, is the title-holder and no
one appears overanxious to dispute hi
claim. Jack elalmed the title some
time ago. but there was one man who
also insisted on having a lookm, and
that person was Battling Levlnsky of
New York. The Battler had given
Jack a couple of stiff arguments and
he felt sure he could do better over
a longer route. Well, thv met nt
Kansas City for a 15 round contest,
and Dillon was given the referee's de
cision, which was also a pretty good
way to put the official stamp of ap
proval on Jack's claim to the title. It
is interesting to note that Jess Willard
was present and saw Jack win the
crown. Asked afterwards what he
thought of Dillon, the big heavyweight
champion said: "He is a wonderful
man for his size. It is too bad he is
not 20 or 2S pounds heavier. To my
mind he Is too small to cope success
fully with a man of my size and
biiild." There has been a great deal
of talk about Dillon meeting Willard
for the heavyweight title, but if the
Hoosier fighter is wise he will forget
about such a match. Willard is alto
gether too big and strong for a man
of Dillon's size and weight Jack had
better be content with one title. If
he must seek another he could better
get after Les Dar. v of Australia 'in 1
brttle for the middleweight crown at
160 pounds.
