CRITICS COME
TO MORRIS AID
IN FULTON BOUT
Declare Fulton Should Have
Been Disqualified When He
Left Ring; Precedent
Backs Agreements.

BY RINGSIDER. ,
Chicago, Sept. 24 Fred Fulton gen
erally was conceded the victor in his
bout with Carl Morris at Canton, O.,
on Labor Day, but there are sup
posedly competent fight critics' who
assert that Fulton really lost the bat
tle and that Morris should have been
given the decision when Fulton de
liberately left the ring and started
for his dressing room, returning only
in time to resume fighting when the
next round started.
These critics base their argument
on the claim that under the rules a
fighter has no right to climb outside
the roped inclosure until the contest
is ended, and that in so doing he com
mits a technical foul that must be
counted against him by the referee.
The referee, these critics declare,
should have disqualified the Minne
sota plasterer and given Morris the
decision as soon as Fulton stepped
outside the hempen square.
In support of their argument the
critics are delving into the records,
and have brought forward the action
of a refere in a bout at Louisville,
Ky., a few years ago, which seems to
afford a parallel to the Fulton-Morris
case.
Recalls Precedent.
The boxers in the Louisville bout
were of some prominence, and were
going along pretty well. It was an
exciting battle, and a big crowd was
watching the proceedings. During a
wild mixup in the centef of the ring
, the more prominent of the pair
landed a right swing flush on hisd-.
versary's jaw and stretched his op
ponent cold upon the canvas.
The man who had scored the knock
down knew it was a dream punch, i
: He could fell by the way the blow
landed that his rival was not going
to come to within the allotted ten
seconds. He was entirely right, but
his enthusiasm got the better of his
judgment. '
While the referee was tolling the
fatal seconds over the fallen gladiator
he had arrived at the count of seven
and looked around to see what the
other fellow was doing. He discov
ered that the victorious battler had
leaped out of the ring and was ming
ling with the spectators, accepting
congratulations and playing the tri-j
umphant hero before his faithful ad
mirers. ' x ' ' I
- The referee very promptly broke off
counting, declared the unconscious
gladiator on the floor a winner, and
disqualified the man who had left the
ring. Fight critics at that time up
held the verdict.
In' the old' days of boxing, when
everything was considered fair if you
' got away with it and fighters and
managers were willing to try any
thing once, it was a severe crime
against the rules to leave the ring.
The rule was observed strictly and
, as a result some great tricks were
tried to get an opponent to quit the
roped arena. Especially were the
managers alive to the possibilities of
such a situation when their men were
being licked. .
One of the favorite dodges was the
cry of "police," and many a false re
sult was brought about by the suc
- cessful manipulation of this trick. At
such an alarm an opponent probably
would' flee in panic and the man who
stayed in the ring would be handed
the verdict
Cilmore Saves Fight
Harry Gilmore, veteran, lightweight
star and one of the best of the old
time handlers, once saved a fight for
Tommy White by checkmating this
little trick. White was boxing Tommy
Morgan in a ring on the outskirts' of
Hammond, Ind., and it so happened
that the arena was built within a few
feet of the Illinois line, making it
easy for the "pugs" to escape in case
of need.
The men were using skin-tight
gloves and White was winning by a
mile when the cry came out of Mor
gan's corner that the constabulary
was in the offing. White, was in a
panic and was about to flee when Gil
more, who had seen the trick worked
.before, calmed' Tommy down. :
( ' CXet Morgan go first," Gilmore ad
vised, "then we'll be safe." .... ..;
Morgan did not leave the ring and
. the bout was resumed, but the police
did appear shortly afterwfrd and the
referee called the fight a draw.
"There never is any excuse for
laving the ring ; until . the battle is
over," said Gilmore, "and Fulton was
,t wrong in doing so, especially since he
was winning at the' time." 3 V

FULTON LOGICAL
FOE OFCHAMPION
Morris' Foul Tactics Send Him
Into Pugilistic Discard and
Leaves a Free Field
for Fred.
With the installation of Fred Ful
ton, Minn ota iiant, in the pugilistic
spotlight as the only logical opponent
for Champion Jess Willard in a title
contest, by virtue of Fulton's victory
over Carl Morris at Canton, 0.; on
Labor da. on a foul, there is much in
the way of "hang over" that can be
written concerning the event which
brought about this result. Perhaps
the prin:ipal thing that should be said
is that Fultjr and no o,ne else in the
heavyweight ranks deserves a jcrack
at the titleholder, for Morris elimi
nated himself completely from the
running. Beforr their meeting the
Oklahoma scrapper was considered
just as strong a miller as Fulton.
Class was the main thing' that stood
out in the Canton clash. Fulton had
all the class. A better boxer, a better
and harder hitter and a cleaner scrap
per, he showed his supremacy. When
it became evident to Morris that he
was in for a lacing, he .adopted foul
tactics which caused Referee Matt
Hinkel to disqualify him in the sixth
round. No more palpable fouls ever
were committed in any ring1, and Jhe
only wonder is that Morris was not
declared loser earlier in the scrap.
Hinkel declares that no less than
twenty times from the hird to the
sixth round Morris deliberately but
ted his head into Fulton's chin.
Hinkel Considers Crowd.
When that number of fouls is con
sidered, it certainly shows that Matt
Hinkel deserves a lot of credit for
patience. But Hinkel had something
else to think of besides stopping the
COMEY AT LAST
HAS DREAM COME
TRUE ONCE MORE
Old Roman Succeeds in Bag
giing Anothar Pennant After
Eleven Years of
Striving.
BY JACK VEIOCK.
New York, Sept. 29. After a span
of eleven years, the Chicago White
Sox are about to enter another world's
series under Chailey Comiskey, the
venerable "Old Roman" of base ball.
Back in 1906 the famous "fiitless
Wonders," managed by Fielder Jones,
rantured the American league pen-
I nant for Comiskey and then licked the
Cubs in the world s series.
Since that time the silver-haired
Chicago magnate has been striving to
win further Honors, but year after
year his teams were beaien out, sev
eral times by the narrowest of mar
gins. No club owner in the game has
spent as much money for ball players
in the last eleven years as Comiskey,
yet he has taken defeat like a game
sport and haj never failed to come
back for more.
He is now preparing to enjoy the
fruits of a victory he richly deserves,
for the team he has gotten together
is one of the greatest that has ever
won an American league pennant, and
critics are agreed that it will do itself
proud in the coming world's series
against the Giants.
No club owner in the game today
has a more loyal following in his
home city than Comiskey. The fans
of Chicago swear by him, and he has
a host of friends throughout the coun
try who will glory in his success.

ATTEL MASTER IN
MANY WILY TRICKS
Former Featherweight Cham
pion Was One of Foxiest
Scrappers Who Ever
Donrsd a Glove.
Of all the quick-thinking fighters
there probably never was one su
perior to Abe Attel, the little. He
brew who held the featherweight
title for so many years. Time after
time when in desperate straits Abe's
quick wits saved the day for him
when another fighter would have
gone down to defeat. Danny Good
man, who long acted as Attel's chief
trainer and second, tells many good
stories illustrating the latter's re
markable headwork in critical situa
tions. I
According to Goodman, the wily
Attel once -saved his title ia a bout
with . Johnny Kilbane ,at Cleveland
when all hope seemed gone. In one
of the early rounds Attel hooked a
savage left for the head Kilbane
saw it coming and ducked inside, so
that Attel's forearm landed on the
skull, spraining it so badly that the
arm was useless.
With his best weapon out of com
mission, Attel's chances of winning
the decision went aglimmering. But
he concealed his injury, not even
mentioning the fact that he had been
hurt to his seconds. During the mirt
ute's rest at the end of the round At
tel did some deep thinking, and by
the time the gong sounded his plan
was formed. '
Cleverly Trips Opponent.
In the first clinch he cleverly
tripped his opponent so that the pair
went down in a heap with Attel un
derneath and with his right arm
twisted behind his back. The whole
thing was done so cleverly that it
looked as though Kilbane had com
mitted a foul by wrestling the cham
pion to the floor.
Attel promptly set up a cry that
his right arm had been broken, wail
ing that his fighting days were over
and doing everything in his power to
create a scene that would confuse the
referee, who naturally was full of
sympathy and not inclined to be se
vere in his ruling. The upshot of the
matter was thatUhe bout was t put
down as no contest, and Ahe's title
was saved. .
However, it was necessary to main
tain the decision to the end, and it
still looked black for. Abe, because a
physician's examination would show
that there was nothing wrong with
his right arm.' Instead of claiming
that his bruised left had been broken,
Attel had chosen to fake an injury to
his right, figuring that if the trick did
not work and he was ordered to go
on and fight he would be much bet
ter off if his opponent did not know
which was the bad arm.
There were plenty of physicians- at
the ringside who offered their serv
ices, but in order to gain time and
escape from the club Attel made such
a fuss that he was bandied off to a
hospital without a close examination.
Goodman, much concerned, and be
lieving like the rest that Abe's arm
was really broken, arranged to sit up
all night and comfort his friend. But
the moment they were left alone Abe
broke into a crafty smile. N ,
"Go oa back to the hotel, Danny."
he said.. "My right arm's all right.
It's roy left that's hurt, and it's only
bruised. , There's nothing to worry
about."" . v .

that he should go as far as possible in
order to give the fans a ruh for their
money. As there were something
like 7,000 persons at the ringside, and
they had paid more than $18,000 for
the privilege of seeing what they had
thought would be a real battle, Hin
kel's way of reasoning easily can be
understood.
Going back to the actual business
of fighting, it is necessary to say that
Fulton, although the winner, did not
give the impression that lie is pos
sessed of wonderful gameness. He
made the mistake of nearly jumping
out of the ring in the fifth round,
when the referee had temporarily
stopped the boxers to warn Morris
against fouling. If he had managed
to get out of the ring he would have
been disqualified instead of Morris,
but his chief second, Harry Wills,
yanked Fred back through t'e ropes
and, with the aid of Manac. Mike
Collins, got Fulton to return to the
battling.
Fulton's Teeth Broken.
There were quite a few ringsiders
who-, put a shoulder to the wheel
along with Ban Johnson in the for
mation of the league in the winter of
1899, and when the National league
finally agreed t peace terms, it was
Comiskey who helped dictate them.
Old timers remember Comiskey
during his days a- a player with the
! famous St. Louis Browns, who cap-
turea lour straigrr pennants, ne was
one of the greatest fielding first base
men the old days developed, and he
was the first player to introduce the
style of fielding the position that is
prevalent today. Back in 1887 Com
iskey surprised the critics by playing
deep, so that he could field hard-hit
ground balls that were too close to
the foul line for the second baseman.
The style has been used ever since.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
will change hands with the playing of
this year's world's series.
The big series of the p?st have al
ways attracted countrywide interest,
and much money has been wagered
from year to year, but this fall, with
the country's two largest cities rep
resented, there is going to be a
who declared after the bout that Ful- greater wave of interest in the games
ton was ready to jump out of the ring j tna" eve Der&r-
even betore tne htth round, but that
is a matter yet to be proved. In jus
tice to Fulton it must be said that he
was stung hard and often by the hard
butting of Morris. Such damage
was far worse than taking a punch
and Fred showed by the results when
he left the ring that he had been pun
ished. One tooth had been knocked
out and another broken off. He was
forced to hurry direct from the ring
to a den.ist to have the exposed nerve
of the broken tooth covered.
Fulton, however, had an alibi for
his effort to get out of the ring. "I
thought I h rd the referee tell Morris !
that he was disqualified, and I natur
ally thought that the bout was over,
so I started to leave the ring. I wa3
surprised when Wills grabbed rne by
the arm and pulled me back to my
chair.
Fulton Solves Offense.
It was only a rnatter of time before
Fulton would have been declared the
winner as loffg as he could assimilate
the butting punishment, for at the
time the bout was stopped he was
showing such marked supremacy that
Morris looked certain to be defeated
by the knockout route. Fulton for a
couple of rounds was unable to find
a way to prevent Morris from punch
ing him at close quarters. In the
third session he was tipped off by his
manager to grab both of Morris' arms
just as soon as Carl got in close.
When the Minnesotan started to
hold Carl's arms, Morris' main stock-in-trade
was gone and defeat was in
sight. In the meantime, befort al
lowing Morris to get in close, Fred
was pumping solid left-hand jabs to
Morris' face and uppercutting with
hard rights to the chin. The.se hard
wallops hurt the Oklahoman and
slowed him, and it was then that he
resorted to the butting business
which meant defeat for him a few
rounds later.
New York fans are prepared to
back the Giants clear down to the fam
ily plate. Chicago fans will he t every
thing dowr. to their sox that the
White Sox win.
There is no way of telling how,
much money wili be wagered, for
only the largest bets will be given
publicity, but it is safe to say that
more than-- a million dollars will
change hands when the last game is
played.
Attendance figures are not expected
to fall unless the series should go to
seven or eight games, but according
to baseball men 150,000 fans will wit
ness the first four games. The Na
tional Commission has taken the usual
precautions against the workings of
speculators, yet it is probable that
hundreds of thkets will fall into the
hands of the scalpers, for it is next to
impossible to keep them from secur
ing the coveted pasteboards.
