Fred Fulton Bobs to Surface Again;
Jim Flynn Retires From Prize Ring
Sunk by Carl Morris, Minnesota
, Giant Refuses to Stay Down
and Rises Again by Mur
dering Langford.
By JACK VEIOCK.
New York, June 30. Lock who'
here! The pcr'ucope registers the
map of one Frederick Fulton bobing
around on the horizon nor' by nor
west. Bubbles on the water indicate that
Frederick has come to the surface
bristling with chatter and ready to
start something rough. He has an
armload of moths ana is ready to toss
them on Willard, Morris, Moran or
anybody else who thinks he has class
as a heavyweight.
Every one thought that Carl Morris,
the big Oklahoma submersible, had
.. Fulton sunk for good when he took
a decision from the plasterer in New
York. The pathway of Morris looked
as clean as a bald head, and he was
toting a pair of mauls labeled "For
Jess Willard" when up bobs Fulton
with a knockout victory over Sam
Langford and gums up the works.
The night that Fulton hung his
trowel propeller on Langford Jess
Willard must have been convulsed
with merriment. Jess was probably
glad to hear the news, for as a result
of Fulton's unexpected comeback he
can stall off the would-be heavy
weight champions for a while longer.
The fact that Fulton knocked the
Boston Tar Baby out has not eoverjd
him with championship class by any
manner of means, for Thamroy was
fat around the equator and as grace
ful as a sack of sugar when they
met. But the victory does pave the
way for Fulton to put in a new
, chirp, and he is already warbling for
a return bout with Morris.
Achieves Unprecedented.
Fulton accomplished something
none of the other heavies has been
able to do in the fifteen years that
Langford has been boxing, for in all
his days Tham has never before taken
a deep sea dive or the count. Gun
boat Smith tried his luck with Lang
ford and succeeded in getting the bet
ter on points in their first meeting,
only to come back confidently and
lose via the knockout route.
Langford has challenged everybody
but Jim Jeffries during his career in
the ring. He was too light for Jeff
when the big fellow was in his prime,
but when Jack Johnson took the title
in tow Sam was right on his trail, and
he offered to fight anybody, black or
white, at any time or any place. The
fact that the white heavies with the
execution of Smith sidesteooed the
Boston chocolate drop is proof of.
what tney all tnougnt ot nis aDiiuy.
Prefers Long Route.
So now comes Fulton with a clean
victory over Langford and a chance
to horn into the front ranks of would
be champions again. A return match
between Fulton and Morris will be
the next heavyweight attraction if
Fulton has his way about it He
wants the big Oklahoma engineer and
he wants him quick. He claims he
can offset his poor showing in New
York inside of ten rounds, but he
would rather get Carlos over a dis
tance route if possible.
Fulton surprised every one in the
Morris bout by his poor work. He
didn't fight ana he was just about as
awkward as a barrel of molasses on
stilts, He kept protesting to the ref
eree while Morris bored into him, and
when the end came in the fifth round
the crowd was satisfied, for the bout
was a joke.
But with all the panning that Ful
ton got there is a chance that the
public will welcome him back as an
opponent for Morris, and as Fulton is
perfectly willing it's all up to Carlos
now.
Pollok Vindicates Leonard,
Harry Pollok, manager of Freddie
Welsh, has come to the front in de
fense of Benny Leonard against
charges made recently regarding
Leonard's weight the night he won
the title from the Welshman.
A short time ago one of the New
York promoters who has been trying
to get Leonard as an attraction for
his club came out with the statement
that Leonard weighed around 137
pounds the night h met Welsh. The
charge, could it be proven true, would
rob Leonard of much of his glory, be
cause of his boast that he is a legiti
mate lightweight who can scale at
133 pounds ringside. Pollok's state
ment gives Leonard a clean slate. It
follows:
"On the night of May 28, 1917,
about 10 o'clock, Freddy Welsh and
Benney Leonard were weighed by
one of the official inspectors of the
State Athletic commission in a dress
ine room at the Manhattan Athletic
club. Leonard weighed 133 pounds
and Welsh some fraction over 136
I cannot remember the exact fraction.
I know these weights are correct, be
cause I was oresent and saw both
boys being weighed. I understand the
inspector in question has made t
affidavit to practically the above. He
is absolutely correct.
While I still maintain, as I did im
mediately after the contest was
stopped, that the referee erred in not
fiving Welsh the benefit of a count,
am certainly not in sympathy with
the unsportnianslike attempt recently
made to besmirch Leonard's claim to
the title."

After Seventeen Years of Serv
ice the Pueblo Fireman De
cides to Call It a Day
and Quit.
By RINGSIDE.
Chicago, June 30. The oldest ac
tive boxer in the business is about to
quit and live on the interest of his in
vestments in Liberty bonds and other
gilt-edged securities, His name Is Jim
Flynn, and he is known as the Pueblo
fireman.
"Terrible attack of neuritis in this
shoulder." Jim said to us the other
day, indicating his left side. "If it
had been on the other side I would
have fought Gunboat Smith and
would have done well with him. But
if you haven't got a left you'ra gone.
So I just naturally passed it up.
"I'm through after this year to a
certainty. I've got some little invest
ments that'll keep the wife and kids.
I'm going home as soon as I get this
shoulder rubbed down at Excelsior
Springs.
"I believe I'm the oldest boxer in
actual service. Seventeen years of it

If more fighters got managers they

Jim probably will bt able to swing
those hams in good shape for five
years mere if he so desires.
Ertlt i Slipping,
Johnny Ertle, who laid claim to the
bantamweight title by virtue of a
foul in the fifth round of his battle
with Kid Williams at St, Paul, Sep
tember 10, 1915, has joined Johnny
Couion on the down grade. Not vet
21 years of age, Ertte's quick retro
gression is one pi the mysteries o
the ring today.
For the past year or so, in spit of
the fact that Ertle has not fought
himself out, as did Bat Nelson or
Terry McGovern, Ertle has been
knocked and buffeted around, and
nowadays almost any third-rate boxer
in his division beats him or holds him
even.
If Ertle had traveled the routs
there might be some excuse for his
slipping. In some circles it is said
that Ertle's handlers have been tak
ing him along the gay white way
where the lights burn brightly, and
jf this is the case it is quite easy to
see the reason for his being burned
out just at the time when he should
be at his best.
Only a couple weeks ago Kid Bar
one, a third-rater from Pittsburgh,
beat him in a six-round battle.
Ertle's performances in the last
year have been most disappointing.
He was outpointed by Abe Kaufman
in Philadelphia in six rounds. Dick
Loadman beat him by a comfortable
margin in Baltimore, "Pekin. Kid"
Herman held Ertle even in Milwau
kee, and now Barone holds hit own
with the former terror of ths bantam
division.
Decisions in Cincinnati.
Fifteen-round bouts, with de
cisions by referees, it to be the new
rule in Cincinnati, Mayor George
Puchta has approved the plan of the
boxing commission to strike ten
round bouts from the books, and the
first scrap will be at Redland Field
July 3, between Johnny Ertle and
Sammy Handlow, bantams.
Kilbane Aided Leonard.
The terrific beating doled out to
Freddie Welsh when he met Johnny
Kilbane in New York probably is as
much responsible as anything for the
fact that Leonard is now lightweight
champion of the world.
Kilbane hit Welsh everywhere ex
cept on the spot that Welsh always
had covered until he met Leonard. If
Kilbane had been given the same op
portunity for victory that presented
itself to Leonard he probably would
be wearing a crown in each angle of
his curled locks.
"The only thing I am sorry for,"
said Johnny, after he had seen
Welsh uncrowned, "is that I wasn't
in there instead of Leonard, I don't
want to take any credit from
Leonard. He's a grand little scrap
per. But I certainly believe I would
have finished Welsh that night. I
started Welsh to oblivion and
Leonard finished the trick."
Jimmy Dunn, Kilbane'i manager,
declared Johnny was a much better
ring workman like Benny.
"Kilbane is a one-punch knocker
out," quoth Jimmy, "and Leonard is
not. It Kilbane had been in the ring
with Welsh you wouldn't be hearing
any arguments as to whether the ref
eree erred in not counting over Welsh.
Freddie would have been on the floor,
and he would have been carried to his
corner, if Johnny had landed on his
head. Believe me, that's right. If
you- don't believe Kilbane hits that
hard, you might ask George Chancy."
All of which is a moot question
until Kilbane and Leonard clash in
the squared circle.

was said that Mayor Dahlman offered
the pitcher of the Dahlman Knights
a five spot if he succeeded in whipping
the Brodegaard Crowns, formerly the
Tradesmen. Mr. Trimble, backer of
the Trimble Bros., recently was
very generous during the Trim

to the association, Manager Wiig of

board of directors, that his team
should replay a game it won from the
Western Union. When the decision
was made, supposed to be competent

League Meets.
Last week the big guni of the
American league congregated. It was
agreed between the various managers
to sign up players to aggregate their
total to a dozen on or before Monday,
July 2. A motion passed unanimously
to allow Holland, who is recognized
as one of the best Class A kinkers in
or around this neck of the woods, to
join the Townsenda, It was reported
that Carl Lutes, captain and third
baseman of the Townsends and also
a leather egg warrior with some rep.,
has joined the navy.
To date this season the fans have
been treating the players all right, but
not quite often enough. Naturally the
fans sometimes think that amateur
base ball is made up of what they
don't want and what they can't get.
Excitement generally serves to satisfy
their appetites, and, as barrels of it
have already been served and the re
frigerator of the Omaha Amateur
Base Ball association is bubbling over
with it. in all probability the majority
of the tans will be well repaid for their
