j. with a right hook to the hml which wn lr-wrly lilockeu
by Fulton, juxt below the heart. That caused him lo fall
Into a clinch. He )UM't at all graceful and looked like
va ihlpw recked sailor trjing to tlout on a sponge In mid-
ocean.

ward's waist. Drawing the huge plasterer towaul him.
9 he drew back his right and let it Ily for the hort . It
eorcd a bullejc nnd Fulton winced. Another landed in
the same spot and the white man wilted. .. third wallop
' caused him to lemember a previous engagement or mjiw-
thing like that, for his mind must have wandered from the
' business he hud on hand.
; He tried to draw awa tiud a- he did. In protruding
jaw hove into sight. Wills wliipped over tils right and it
sort of brushed the chin. If wasn't a hard blow, nor did
it land solidly. In fact, it didn't travel more than -i
inches.

T
Wills Is the Smiler After Bell Rinps
WAT WAS before the battle. After the first ten
seconds. Wills wore a broad grin, for he pioed in
that time he had the big boy's measure. He rushed
Fulton nnd landed a hard right to the bodj before they
clinched. Then came the big surprise. Ilarrj bundled
"JFfcilward as if he were a bain, tossing him around and
cocking him almost at will He did all of the leading
and landed all of the punches.
Fulton was all arms. He held them straight out
nnd when lie jabbed it was a light blow to the body.
There was no power behind any of the two wallops which
were struck
Wills was going good at the hell nnd when Fulton
went to his coiner IK Milled nam llrtle the refeiee, to
biro. "Tell Will- to unit bitting low." he said. "If he
docs it again he should be disqualified."
If uny low blow- were struck, nobody saw them.
for Wills had n big enough target to hoot at.

around Wills's neck and held on. Then came the bell.
The tinlh of lhe third round wni similar to, the
finale of the bout with Dcinpsey held a couple of miles
from here, exactly two years ago. Dempsey hit him In
the body five times nnd crossed his right: Wills hit him
three times before the glass Jaw was shattered. There
was some discussion at the ringside about the blow which
ended the fracas. Many claim it was a right 'to the body,
but the knockout was staged in the corner where I wm

the curtain.

Negro Forced to Stall Previously
WILLS HAS been lighting a long time, but scarcity of
opponents forced him to take things easy in the
ring. Ho has been chased by inaliv referees for stalling,
but It is said he had to have one hand tied behind his back
before any one would take him on. Last night he hnd u
chance to show how he could travel without tle wraps
and. believe us. he made good.
Tills bout was the end of an extraordinary boxing
show which nt'tractrd the lutgost crowd that ever pneked
itself into the Armory. Kvery scat was taken and the
customers due down deeply into their jeans for the privi
lege. The tflij seats were jammed and it was the same
with the lives and tens.
It was estimated that 14,000 wore present, and the
gate receipts! were slightly more than SUHI.000. This
was u big surprise, for every one believed the show would
lose money. The bouts alone iot something like SS.'.UOO.
and that's a whole lot.
The opening bout wus a thriller and it introduced a
different .lack Hritton from the one we uric used to
'seeing, .luck was in the ring for business nnd was
stacked up against Marcel Thomas, the welter champion
of France.
Thomas lost in the tenth round, whui Iteferee Slim
llrennuu used excellent judgment and stopped the bout.
However, the game Frenchman was not sniUiird. al
though he was helpless nnd was running lhe risk of
serious injury. He wanted to continue and was very
much peeved when told it was time to put n the next net.
Hritton started after Thomas in the tir.t. and it looked
as if be would end it quickly. He used .lam -hung tactics
and put the Frenchman clown twice in me initial inning.
Thoinns. however, was game and came back for more.
It was the same in the other nine rounds Hritton
was the aggressor, hut the more ho piimmelod the for
eigner the harder Thomas would came back. It was n
great exhibition of grit and the crowd was wildly cheering
him at every opportunity.
Hritton showed a wonderful defense and nlso some
nifty slugging wjth both left nnd right. Thomas's face
was the color of the sotting sun before the end of the
lift Ii. but he never let up.
In the tenth Hritton landed on the chin and Marcel
began to wavci. He lolled to the lloor. but was up at the
count of two. Another wallop sent him down nguin, and
when Rrennun wulked over to lift him up und send him
to his cornel the Frenchman smiled and shook his bead.
II" arose a third time and Hritton put exerything he hud
behind a right to the chin.
'THOMAS ii-ent doirn agmn and inn ,o helpless

esty in the next bout. Wild Hurt neier has claimed
to bo a great boxer, but he gave Morun more thun be was
looking for. Frank outweighed him at least twenty-five

the returns of the Fulton-Wills con
test in Newark last night, in which Fred
proved that, ns u btier. he was n
mighty good pla-terer. Horry stands
out prominently, promiscuously. Ilkhly
und nrobnblv as the first opponent for
'Dempsey as world's heavyweight cham
pion.
Nobody has said an thing about it,
but Wills will be Dempseys vis-a-vis
when Jnck is icady to return to the
ring. Wills is mentioned as Dempsey's
opponent because there isn't anone
else who stnuds out better, and, further
more, Dempsey lias announced thnt
there is no color line in his young life.
The negro lieavj'w eight is no new piece
of punching talent in the ring. Harry
has been in the game, off and on,
mostly off because of lack of opponents
since 1011.
Seventy-live per cent of Wills's op
ponents have been boxers of his own
color, because, for some reason or other,
the white folks didn't like the idea of
punching with or ngninst the New
Oilcans black, who is twentj -six years
of age, weighs -l'J pounds and stands
six feet three inches.
Sam l.angford, the once great Tar
Baby, has been a favorite punching
partner for Wills. They have -gone
after ench other's woolly scalp on fif
teen different occasions, mostly no
decision affuirs.
The only two times AVills has been
knocked out in his eleven-jenr career.
Lungford turned the trick on both
occasions in fouiteen rounds in 1014,
and in nineteen rounds in 111115. Since
that 101!) bout, however. Wills hns
defeated I.angford almost every lime
they have met.
Wills today looms up as the best of
the negio heavyweight punchers and,
for that matter, the peer of the entire
division, outside of Dempsey , because
there nien't any real good big white
men. If the title holder is to be ex
tended. Wills jM the person to come
out of the other corner at the sound
of the gong

Bobbie Williams Must
Be an Unusual Boxer
New Yorli. July 27. Bobble
Williams, who arrived yesterday on
the steamship Aiiuitania, told the
Ellis Island officials that he wns a
boxer nil the way from Australia.
When asked how he came to ride
in the steerage. Williams said:
Didn't 1 try lo come first cabin?
Why, it would take nu order from
the king to get n cabin ticket from
England to New York these days.
Everything's bought up for months
ahead. And I had this fight on in
Milwaukee. That's where I'm
headed, and the date's been billed
and iidvcitised. I couldn't come
cabin, so I had to pile up with the
Immigrants in the steerage."
He passed nil the selective tests
and hurried down to the railroad
room to buy u ticket for Milwaukee,
saying lie would have' to hurry to
get there in time for his bout.

Illnck Hand." writes nn enraged
fan, "but I know what the Yellow Hand
Is in pitching it is being nfrald to
get one over for n good hitter." How
they love to see the Bambinos of Swat
intentionally cicntcti incgn.-ui.Hww
lege of lifting one out of the yard !
It Doesn't Follow
T'VE been taught not to sway my
- body in the golf stroke," L. II. P.
writes. "Yet I notice that Ted Roy
sways nt every tec shot and gets won
derful results. If he can do it, why
shouldn't I?" ,
It doesn't always follow that each
eon follow copy on the style of n cham
pion or rt star performer.
Hay probably started in with a body
sway 'something llko twenty-live years
ago. It Is now his nntural way of hit
ting a ball. Twenty-fivo years of habit
have shown him how to control It.
But it isn't the easiest way to learn
the game. So why take the long 'rond
homo when n shorter cut is open?
Tho Ways of Form
THE ways of form are rarely the
same. "Bnbe" Ruth and Joe Jack
son stnnd exactly alike nt bat. But
neither stands like Tris Speaker or
George Sisler.
Ruth, Cobb and Willie Keeler all
ndoptetl widely different grips or wnys
of holding a bat.
The golf grips employed by Evans,
Oiiimet, Hngen and Travers arc all
different, .lack Spratt, you mny re
member, could ent no fat. On the con
trary, his well-known wife could eat
no lean. And so it goes. A well-known
professional golfer once tried Travers's
system of hitting n ninshie shot witli
tiie tip of his right thumb guiding the
club. The "pro" nearly lost n valuable
thumb as he missed the shot.
It never pnys to copy any style blind
ly. As a rule the most comfortable
isn't very far wroDg, especially if it
gets results.
Crowds
JUST a few years ago any major
league ball club that played to
fiOO.OOO paid admissions In the course of
a season was thought to be doing very
nicely.
The New York Yankees plus "Babe"
Ituth are in the act of setting a turn
stile mark that will not only break all
records but that will be fully ns much
ns the entire lengue once drew.
For the last few weeks the Yankees
have been uvcraging around 20,000 fans
n game. Possibly more, as they have
had numerous days above .'10,000. They
have drawn ns high as 2ii0,000 in nn
eight-gnme stretch. It would not be at
all surprising if they played Jo over
''. 500,000 people before the odor of
burning lenves in enrly October indi
cates the approaching end of the cam
paign. For they have not only drawn huge
crowds at the I'olo grounds they have
nlso drawn amazing crowds in St.
Louis. Cleveland, Chicago and Wash-
ingtou. Also Boston and other points
east nnd west. They will undoubtedly
be in the thick of the melee till the
finish. Even if thev should slin. the
resounding echo of Ruth's bat will sum
mon the clan as he struggles for the
fifty mark.
The anl(s are now headed West
They mny not draw quite so heavily in
St. Louis, and Detroit, but they will
sardine the ball parks in Cleveland and
'.tills wason' will undoubtedly be Ik.
biggest attendance year that any rlnJ
has ever, known In sixty years of" Ut.
ball history. It will boVmnrk to S&
at welt beyond any target ever offcrej
milE $450,000 taken in at the Dean.
J- sey.Willard light is still the L
notch for a single show lu mv,.
And this mark will stand until rC
scy and Carpentler meet, if they Z
no. If this show ever comes off xll
iirospcct of a .$1,000,000 gate w-M 11
