as follows :

Fulton Now May. Clean Up in Europe
HIE heavyweight situation in Kurope U likely to get a severe iolt if IVrncimio
"redward Fulton is allowed to don the gloves with the lcaHiin- hittw.
The faint-hearted plasterer now is sojourning on the other .sidu and we are
led to believe lie is just spoiling for a light. If be meets old Kombndier Wells,
Dick Smith, Georges ("'arpentier, Joe Heckftt or other leading heavies the
chances are he will knock them stiff and ruin everything for Uempsey.
Fulton, despite his fat-beaded laities and lack of courage when pitted
against a formidable foe. is a very good boxer. He has the best left hand
that ever bung on a heavyweight, and when it comes to speed be looks like a
featherweight when compared to .less Willard. He really is the best man in
the world outside of Dempsey. and if he had any ucre or sand he would "he
the champion the fight of bis life
But Fredward is not a lo-ing batthr. If be meets a poor bimbo of the ham
and egg variety he looks like a champion. In New Yoik be knocked out
Charley Wcinert, Tom Cowlcr aud other stews, won from Carl .Morris on a
foul, knocked out Sam I.angford, almost killed Willie Median and made some
of the wise birds in the big town lose the bankroll when he met Dempsey.
However, it will be different in l.'ngland and France. The big boys over
there do not stand out, the cannot be called top-notchers and would be easy
for Fulton,
Fredward left this country flat about a month ago when be learned he
no longer was welcome in our boxing clubs. His squawk about double crosses
and things like that after the Dempsey bout made him look like a big quitter
and a squealer and he received nothing but the ley mitt. No one would have
anything to do with him, and it was either a trip abroad or renew his card in
the Plasterers' Union.

the plasterer will pull that very thing if he is given any bouts. He
can't lose.
Scarcity of Football Material
A WARNING has been issued to football players in regard to their equip-
ment next fall. There v ill be a shortage of jerseys, stockings, football
pants and shoes, and it is feared the demand will triple the supply by October 1.
Considerable difficulty iu getting equipment was experienced last year during
the war, but it will be worse this year.
Jake Gray, manager of Spalding's, stopped us on the Hoardwalk last
night and handed out some real facts.
"I don't know how we enu equip all of the football teams this fall," he
said. "All of the factories are working overtime making worsted goods for
their regulnr trade and sport orders are shoved aside. During the war con
ditions were bad, but this year will be worse. The people in this country have
been purchasing wearing apparel in small quantities because of the high prices,
but now are laying in big supplies. That causes a flood of orders, tad as the
necessities of life come before the luxuries, the sport followers will have a
bard time.
"Shoes, too, will be at a premium. The shoe factories are taking care of
the regular customers and little time is left for us. However, the big colleges
already have placed their orders aud probably will be taken care of in another
month. The University of Pennsylvania has ordered uniforms for 400 men,
which means there will be lots of football there this fall. Swarthmore, Haver
ford, I'rsinus, Lehigh, Lafayette in fact, all of the smaller colleges in this
section also have placed their orders early.
"This is a warning to high school and independent football teams. Do
not wait until the last minute or the orders will not be filled. This condition
exists all over the country."
Judging from the dope hnnded out by Mr. Gray, Tenn will go In for foot
ball on n large scale this year. A squad of 400 is the largest in history, but
it looks us if Folwell would have it this year. The team should be one of the
best in the country, for many of the old stars are coming back. At present the
following will be on the job : Captain Bert Bell, Lud and Alex. "Wray, Heinle
and Kay Miller, the Straus brothers, Titzel, Lou Little, Thomas, Supplee,
Maynard, Furmakis, Bud Hopper, Well, Hobey Light, Braun, Harvey, Graves,
Jim Nejloii, Schweldel, Crawford, Frank, WIthlngton, McNichol, Rosenau,
Peiter and Quigley. Pretty good nucleus for a team.
toERT BELL already has started training for the coming season.
O Ue is vacationing at Cape May and is practicing every day. He
took half a dozen footballs with him and is practicing punting. Bert
plays football in the afternoon and golf in the morning. Bttwtea tht
two hfl should be in good shape- when the season sterts.

rplIKKI'. was a wanton waste of punches in the wind-up at the Atlantic City
Kpnrllng Club last night. Itisht hooks. iicicrcut. jabs, slams r.nd wallop
were Milling all over the place, hitting ivi'iything except the movable target
who received real coin of the realm for pe' forming, or whatever jou call it.
"Wild" Bert Kiinrj . howiuv. landed enough bnl!-ejes on Ihc persor of
Jeff Clark and deserves the decision by a shade. He shaded one of Mr. Clark's
eyes, hut it could not be proved because of Mr. Clark's color. The dusky
warrior managed to get his fac mil neck, to say nothing of bis bodj . in front
of Bertie's windmill wallops, and th.-t's the only reason we can give for
Bertie's victory.
It was n sensational bout and very uncertain. Kenney used a new blow
which, according to Dan McLaughlin, of the Trayiuore, was n real, honest -to-goodness
saloon or barroom punch, lie either started it from the tloor and
hurled it at somebodj ' ihi.i. or lifted Lis tist high aKne his bend and brought
it down with crushing foice on whatever he could hit. The referee, the ring
posts ami occasionally Jeff Clark received tenib'e punishment.
The .".IKlll howling fans were nimli pleased with the performance. Panama
Joe (Ian, who cxidctitly nceiveil his name because be once worked on the cniia'..
had another engagement and could not possibly be present to absorb some of
Kenncj '.-, stuff. Clark w.is a s. stiti:te -md proved to be a strong, rugged gu.
"Wild" Bert lived up to his nniie in the tlrst four rounds. He soaked
his opponent with everything he had, lai.ding one punch out of every ten.

At a special meeting of the A. A. U.
held last week in New York, permission
was reiused the Australian mermaids to
compete in this country because their
jalfaiis were being handled by Ceorge
Dowsing, a western promoter. It i
I against the rules of the A. A. V. for
i an amateur to have a manager.
Acting on the advice of friends aud

o'clock on the aftelnoon of the fight.
This is the English flyweight limit!
Wilde is a few pounds under this
weiglit, but in facing Wallace he will !
no engaging one of the smallest of
American tlj weights.
The little Italian boy lias demon
strated that he is one of the classiest
boys his weight in the game. The night
be fought Pete Herman at the National
he scaled only IK! pounds. Herman's
weight was unknown.
Kilbnnc Fast, Says Hobby
Hobby Reynolds, one time speed king
among the feather and light weights.
yesterday visited Philadelphia .Jaek
O'Urien's, health studio to see .Tohnnv
Kilbane train. Hobby twice fought
fast. I don't know whether I
bad or Johnny was so good,
simply couldn't lay a glove on him.
"Johnny always could punch. That's
something one never forgets. But once
the speed is gone you are doomed.
Johnny is there with punch and speed.
Fox .Must He flood
"Fox has got to be good on Monday
night, that's nil. Kilbane's iu great
condition. He is n wise fellow. This
is n big match, Johnny knows it and
he is going in there to cause trouble.
You know he has been training for this
fight since last May.
"He was to box Fox last June. He
then was ready. All he needs now is n
little tuning up, test n few of his
shifts, try out a few of his punches,
develop bis wind nnd he will be better
than the Kilbane of five years ago."
Hobby has been asked so often to
pull u Jack Dillon nnd box the cham
pion.
This afternoon Robert will visit Joey
Fox at Herrmann's and box two or
three rounds with the British feather
weight. Tomorrw he will tell us what
he thinks of Fox.
Kilbane nnd. though outpointed on each I express his opinion that he decided to
occasion, nan tne courage to accept an
invitation to don the gloves again.
Bobby went three fast rounds with
Johnny. According to Mr. Reynolds,
Kilbane is just as clever and as good a
puncher as ever.
"In fact," said smiling Robert, "I
believe he is better than ever. He
always was a tricky fellow, but now he
has more trick stuff than before. He
worked that corkscrew punch on me
twice nnd had no trouble in drawing me
in with' his left hook, only to crash over
a right when I got close.

to reach him. I never siw a guy a

SIX HIGH SPOTS IN AMERICAN SPORT
No. 4 Ouimet's Conquest of Vardon and Ray
TN- SEPTEMBER, 1013, there was a drift of brooding melancholy over the
gold landscape of the Tutted States, the ntmosphcre being rife with de
pression. Even those uninterested in golf were none too cheerful about it. For
England had sent over two of her greatest golfers to bring back the open- u
chnmpionshlp of America, and these two men had tied for first place over
me country uiub course at Ilrooklinc.
Each one at the end of seventy-two holes had turned in a card of 304.
There was just one glint against the shadows while none of our leading pro
fessionals, including such stars ns McDonald Smith, Jack McDermott, Walter
Hagen and others, had been able to hold the British pace, n twenty-year-old
amateur named Francis Ouimct had in some way managed to figure in the
triple tie.
If McDermott or Hagen or some unknown quantity had landed there the
country at large would have felt safer.
JiVT Ouimct teas virtually unknown. lie had no great tournament
f experience. And anyway, what chance did a twenty-year-old
inexperienced kid have against two such men as Harry Vardon and
Jed Ray, winners of many British open championships seasoned
veterans, who were masters of loth wood and Wont
The Test
rpHE test was a rugged offair for Ouimet to face. He had been sud-J-
denly lifted from nlmost nowhere in golf to meet two of the greatest in
the world. He knew that America's hope in an international way had been
planted on his shoulders.
The course itself was rain-soaked and at its hardest. Nearly 10,000
spectators were on hand, lured out by the faint hope thnt the young American
might at least make a fair snowing.
THE entire affair was Jar off the ordinary heat. The mere fact that
Oi(imct had been ablj to tie Vardon and Bay over a 12-hole test
was miraculous enough.
Three Types
WHEN they met nt the sirst tee the contrast was something more than
marked. Harry Vardon, then five times winner of the British open, was
above forty, n six-footer, well proportioned.
. Tc(1 Kay was a tJ'pic-il English type a powerful, broad-shouldered in
dividual, six feet two, with n big drooping mustache.
Ouimet slender, slighta mere boy.
If Ouimet had any touch of nervousness, he failed to show it. From
the start he used the rarest sort of judgment, for when Vardon nnd Ray
drove off from the first tec, Ouimet hnd his back turned, paying no atten
tion whatever to their gams. He had made up his mind to play his own
game nnd not be hired into taking any desperate chances. It was for this
reason that he decided in advance not to watch a British shot.
TiOTII Vardon and Bay were naturally confident. At the start they
were watching each other closer than they were watching Ouimct.
The First Nine
three halved the first two holes. Then Ray dropped a stroke
was Vardon who got tjie jump on the field by a fine three at the sixth.
To many this wns merely the beginning of the end. But at the eighth hole
Ouimet promptly came back nnd squared nccounts with a three of his own.
Tho trio renched the turn all square. Each man had gone out in thirty
eight and by this time the big gallery was in a mighty quiver.
So far Ouimet hnd held his own. But how many more holes could he
last? He answered this query nt the tenth hole by sinking n three and taking
a jump on his two opponents. That jump was the beginning of the end, for
thereafter he was never headvd.
ALL
-ri.it
A
FOUR at the twelfth put him'still another stroke to the good,
but Vardon got a stroke back at the thirteenth hole.
Vardon Then Crashed
OUIMET was then one stroke up on the two with five holes to piny, still
a slender margin. He held this advantage until the seventeenth tee was
reached. Ray in the meanwhile had cracked badly and fallen well behind.
But Vardon was still too close for comfort. The strain -was beginning to tell,
even on the big gallery. But when the break came it was Vardon who crashed.
At the seventeenth hole Ouimet got n fine three, where both Vardon and
Ray needed n five. That one hole broke up the battle.
Ouimet not only won, but he beat Vardon five strokes and Ray six strokes
a terrific margiti.
