RED'S statement that Dempsey is Mol Fo good ‘ter the first round Or 80, sounds funny How does ne know? He didn't last half a round with Jack. But this there isn't any doubt that Fult uid be entitled to some « on in all this championship t as Jim Coff- roth says elsewhere on this fp Physically ho would be moro of match for Willard than Dempsey, He fy nearly as big nearly as heavy, has plenty of reach and is suf- ficiently clever to gutybox the cham- Pion if it came down to a question of pkill. He has a wonderful long lett hand, which carries more power in Wis Jab than most heavyweigat south- paws do. The Dempsey fight, which to all ap- Bongances was honestly fought, might hrown out for the sake of ar). sing Fulton's case, He never reilly got @tarted that day, but that can't be blamed on Jack. Tbey might have “repeated” before this with much more reason than some other of the return daters we have either seen or read about. ILTON WASN'T ENCOURAGED. ALKING of Fulton only the other day with Chatley Harvey, wi agreed that with proper managemont Fulton should have Been the “man to have first crack aty W) Fred, Harvey snd I coine! the opinion, never got the « . ment all fighters septh to they get anywhere. “He~never had anyone to impress him with a knowledge of his own importance. As Harvey pointed out, a manager tik Billy Brady might have made a cha pion of Filton e this, Brady was something of a hyp- + notist. He had a conversational trick of making a fighter swell up and be Meve himself invincible, when ten minutes before Brady besan his ora- torical fireworks hun, wa about convinced that fiehting wasn't his game at all.
