Sd Fred Fulton Loses No Time in Se ee THE BYEWING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1 47. _ BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YOR FULTON SURE IS CONFIDENT HE CAN BEAT WILLARD Calling Champion Willard’s Buff - . \ biu® Was called fue as fon 8 reddy Fulton's manager heard AH sees, you Know, offered to tat Peltes or any other gent in thie Whole Hise world for (he Red Crom. The only little condition he made was @at Fulton, of whatever other victim GAME B)00K, Must Rive bie end to the Red Cross too, On the face of it Bie Looked like Homething of a hand- feap to the fellow who meets Willard. If Jeon is to retain tho title the other Poor fir arrives at nothing but @ Beating. Howeve evidently didn't strike Fulton that way. Fulton's manager, Mike Co! hied him atraight ¥ @o a wire and sent back to desperate Joos this eizaling reply: “Fulton will take up your offer, all the proceeds to go to the Red Cross, Ba addition, Fred will give you $1,000 8 & feo for getting locked, or will give that uinount to the Red Cross. “The bout may be echeduled at any Place, any ‘imo and under any con- ition.” Collins is perfectly willing to let Willard have plenty of time to train, althoug! Hulton ts ready now, so far Qs condition goes, Ho is fighting as often as ho can, and is always tn Shape, Manager Collins says he @oean't want to hurry Jess 00 that he'll have an “alibi” when he fe “licked.” F Jess figuts anybody for nothing, and gives away any money that he could possibly corral for bis own fair use, a lot of people in the United Btates will have heart failure. To @ate Joos Lan gripped everything that @ame his way, and has held tight in epite of the frenzied squeals of the People who wanted to share with bim. He isn't entitled to any knock for this. Any one who could pile up a Dank account in the presence of the People Jess had around him after Winning the championship at Havana ought to get a Carnegie medal, And they do say Jess has flied away a @tack of iron men a giraffe couldn't fee over. But there's one thing Jess hasn't @one since he became champion. He hasn't shown any deatre to show him- eelf without being paid for it reception Madison At the to the French sailors Square Garden Jess was med to appear, but he re- roas the Bridge from Brook: lyn, where he was showing with @ circus. Ho boxed for the men in the officers’ training camp at Plattsburg, when his circus was there—but only two one-minute rounds, Atrocities in Peace as in War “They Have Holds To-Day That Would Make the Anoient Grappler Feel So Puny That He Would Put Pomade on His Hair and Read the Ladies’ Journal.” By Arthur (‘Bugs’) Baer. 1047. tf The Preas Publishing Co.

The Bowlers’ War Relief Fund ort nated with Joe Thum, who wanted to demonstrate the willingness of bowl- ers to do their share of relief work. The idea of the fund is to provide assistance for all followers of the alley sport who become crippled in war service, This was quickly de- cided upon the most beneficial means of ald. To carry this out It is proposed that every alley owner and bowler be solicited for $1 each, which would easily form a fund of $1,000,000. The fund will be placed at the disposal of not just New York) lors, or Pensylvania pinmen, but) all bowlers throughout the United States who may be disabled in any branch of war service. The fund will be so efficiently handled that all money collected will be used for the purpose intended. And every one who contributes will be rewarded with a souvenir receipt to show he has done dis share, Letters have been sent to promi- nent bowling leaders in various sec- tions of the country, inviting them to organize for their district, and within ja short tlme meet at a central place to elect a national committee, which will be representative of the bowling neal and in entire charge of the fund.
