He was like a meohanio driving a bolt home with a hammer, knowing that « dozen ham- mer taps would do the joo, and not trying to hurry {t by using more force, The bolt was Charlie Weinert. Chug, chug, chug went Fulton's fists, ané when but one more tap wi stepped Brown, in the nick It was a very neat and workmaniike job all around. Fulton immediately nodded pleasantly to Brown, reached for Weinert’s glove, and went dilthely to his corner, There was no mark on Fulton, Wich ts more than we can say for Charles, When the men entered the ring Weinert turned his back and tested the ropee—the olf stall, Fulton didn’¢ even look at him. They walked up for instructions. At this moment Bonny Rosenthal, who was holding a strategic position Immediately in my rear, leaned over my shoulder and whispered loudly: “Great Bcott! How Fulton has grown! He weighs 222% to-night and when he fought Retch he weighed only 190!” “He doesn't look bigger to me,” said L “Seeme to me he woighed 220 in that Reloh fight.” “One-ninety—not a pound more,” declared Rosenthal. Al Reich happening along to get quate), Looked bis expert opinion. 219% pounds, and folt as if he wetghed seven tonsa, Whioh ended the discus- sion, UT, if only a little hoavier, the Ferocious Plasterer cortainiy did look more a fighter than ever, At 222% pounds he was all bone and sinew. There was a grin of se- rene confidence on his face. He moved with the conservation of energy and the marimum of delivered oMficiency of a Ford workman turning out his share of @ new flivver every two minutes, He didn't make a fa've vr unnecessary step, feint or hit. Poor Weinert was never in fighting for an instany He was out- « 7,000 miles in @ fifty-yard rece, n the firet round began poor Charlie stepped up with his best smile and reached for Fulton witp a jeft and a right. ‘Then things to happen. ‘The plasterer moved for- ward with soornful deliberation, pay ing no attention to Weinert's fists and idly selecting spots on which to land hus on Crack, crack, short hook Charit head bobbed back to bie shoulder blades. 4 flushed cheek showed where the first biow had struck.

Weinert's seconds worked herd on him and sent him out refreshel, Evidently, too, he had re- ceived instructions. I can imagine exactly what Pollok whispered into his ear, No dowbt Pollok sald this: r fish, he's knocking your bISSE GRE outpost thine a hace. Go right after him. Try to got one over.
