THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: AUGUST 8, PUTS ONE OVER ON WILLARD 'Fred Fulton, of Original White who has been tearing up things in the tennis world for the last five or six years, has just permanently annexed the famous Longwood cup, having won from R. Norris Williams, the holder of the championship at present, in a fiercely-played challenge match. It was the third time McLoughlin had won the Hope Orop, Sends Jess Down for Count in Private Go. By RINGSIDE. NEW YORK, Aug. 7~If a report emanating from up-state is to receive any credence, it will bs many months before Jess Wilard is ready to don the gloves again in defense of his newly acquired heavywelght champlonship. As & matter of fact, the new title holder s not in oondition for a hard contest, and | he would be jeopardizing his claim to i $1,000,000 to engage in a ring battle with 2 ® serious contender before another half | ] i - o o yeaf. !

The loquacious Jones wes intrcduced to a siseable fellow, who announced him- solt as Fred Fulton (Mr. Fulton has | been fighting professionally for five years—ever since the mushroom “White Mope” crop began to appear.
