Show CALL JACK SECOND EDITION OF JOHN L. Dy International News Sen-ice. NEW YORK, Feb. 26. Fred Fulton and Jack Dempsey, the two survivors of tile semi-final trials in the heavyweight pugilistic pugi-listic tournament, will inevitably have to meet to decide which man is to be matched as-ainst the giant .less Willard, with the title at stake. Fight promo-.ers from air parts of the country are tonight bidding for the battle. Ful-.on, by his victory over Frank Mora.il. vindicated himself for the torry sliou-iiiE: he made recently in St. Paul asainst Billy Mlske. Dempsey, who has been termed the second edition of John L. Sullivan since his spectacular rise in the ring, wilt be brought to the final test battle. Hilly Miske, who pained a draw decision deci-sion over Fulton, may claim another match with p'ulton before he is sipped up with AVillar-d. Miske can also register a justified claim for a bout with the Salt Lake City star. The Pempsey-Fulton bout, although not definitely arranged, will probably come within the next month. Willard can no longer avoid a clash with the winner. Fulton would appear to have the pd-vantape pd-vantape over the Salt Lnke man, but the ease with which lVmpscy has won victory vic-tory after victory In the ring cannot be unneresimiaien. t-UKon na neen ttgtittnc for a lone; time and has tho advantace of experience, while Pe-aipsey. pnicticallv u newcomer, will be hampered by his limited lim-ited amount of rinir experience. The mutch will probably be se.hccluled for at least twenty rounds. Pcmpsey is not a scientific ficrhter. He hits straight from the shoulder in much tile same manner as cha raeierlred the career of John L. Sullivan. It is this straliihtforward punch that has won him the name of tile "second edition of Sullivan." |
