Modern Mastodoelc EmbrogUo. i decade or , more but when .Wlllard
Somethlnsr over a million vea.ni aeo.
when mammoth and dinosaur became
entangled In a series of physical grap
ples, the astounded blighters living in
that age were confident that all rec
ords In the way of size had been
mashed. ,
This, of course, was some time be
fore any mention had been made of
, a Willard-Fulton affair,
i When these two stray into the same
tent, the dinosaur and the mammoth
will fade gently out of the frame.
Record Sizes.
' The Willard-Fulton affair," when it
Is duly Inaugurated, will smash all
ring records in anything approaching
a championship affair. , .
' Back in 1891 or 1892, when Sulli
van met Corbett, the amount of bat
tling flesh in the arena was 874
pounds, counting the combined
weight of both men.-
The lightest heavyweight engage
ment In the modern ring was the Cor-bett-Fit2simmons
affair, where the
two main actors weighed something
under 860 pounds, less than 176
pounds to the man. Corbett and Fitz
simmons together weighed only about
66 pounds more than Wlllard alone
weighs today. The record heavy
weight affair in the way of total dis
placement was the Jeffries-Johnson
engagement at Reno. This pair lifted
the scales well above 400 pounds,
around 430 to be fairly exact They
were together the two biggest men
that had ever met In a championship
affair.
Added Weight
wmie there was no chamnlonshlD
claim attached, all weight records for
a single engagement went skidding
merrily when Jess Wlllard met Carl
Morris a few years ago in New York.
Both men were then charter members
of the White Hop Association, and
both were dubs of the first degree. The
boards creaked and groaned that night
when they started floundering around,
for Wlllard weighed 241 and Morris
238, a total weight of 479 pounds!
This pair weighed 140 pounds 70
pounds to the man more than Cor
bett and Fitz, and yet either Corbett
or Fitz could have beaten the pick of
the two with a crippled hand.
This matter of 479 pounds looked j
to be a record that Would last for a
and Fulton meet it is likely . to - be
badly, smashed. For there is a bare
chance that the two husky citizens
from, Kansas and. Minnesota will en
croach, upon ,600 pounds, unless they
can take off more flesh than many
now believe they are capable of lifting.
Fniton-Willard Weights.
Fulton fought his last fight at 223
pounds. When he meets Willard he
will need all the weight he can mus
ter, so he will make no great attempt
to prune away any more flesh than
he is forced to cut down.
When Willard met Moran a year
ago he weighed In at 260 pounds, aft
er six weeks' hard training. Since
then he has added at least 25 pounds
to his massive frame, and no matter
how hard he trains he will be lucky to
get down around 270.
Under these conditions Willard and
Fulton together will weigh over 490
pounds, an average of 245 pounds to
the man.
Ten years ago no one would . have
believed that two men even approach
ing this weight could have been found
with sufficient skill to be around the
top. Jeffries, at 225 pounds, was con
sidered a marvel. That weight looked
to be the limit that any fighter could
ever couple with effectiveness. But
human flesh, despite the high cost of
living, is apparently developing added
proportions. Fulton and Willard will
not only weigh 490 pounds, but to
gether their combined height will be
about 13 feet
Fulton's Chance.
A few weeks ago Fulton's chance
against Willard looked to be thinner
than a drink of water.
The mere fact that Fulton has beat
en Tom Cowler and Charlie Weinert
since .is no great boost.
But the manner of the administered
beatings is another matter. The big
plasterer stopped both men in less
than four rounds using on an average
less than two rounds to each.
- Weinert and Cowler are not won
ders by any vivid stretch of an elas
tic imagination.
But no pie-fed dub is. going to beat
them in this short span. And 'when
it is remembered that Wlilard lir.u
fought but one ten-round affair with
in two years, Fulton's chance
comes apparent He may not -vvii
he will be something more th
lop-sided Joke. He Is the first man
to face Willard with a sufficient reach
to adjust his batteries for a broadside.
The others have never had sufficient
range to carry.
'1 wonder," whites Hart Karl, "if
It ever occurred to ball players and
club owners that tht fan might
decide to go into the striking business
some day soon. Then what would
happen?" . . -
. Just as St Louis and Cincinnati are
upon the verge of holding public
jubilee meetings, the baseball strike
will probably be called off. Those
two eminent cities never seem to
have any luck.
"Cobb and Speaker will not strike."
Not unless it is over a corner, anyway.
The one great thing about football
Is that even where there is a salary
list the outside public is never put ad
jacent to the details. There should be
a censor to keep the mention of kale
away from the annals of baseball.
SINGLE POINT GAVE
VICT0RYT0 QUEENS
Coal From Foul in Twilight of
Came, Worked Downfall for
Charlotte High School Girls.
By the scanty margin of one point,
the Queens College basketball team
Saturday afternoon defeated the
Charlotte High School quint in a
game played on the Queens College
court in Myers Park. With the score
standing 14-14 and less than a min
ute to play in the second half, a foul
was called upon a C. H. S. player. A
Queens sharpshooter a moment later
caged the ball for the deciding point
of an exhibition which was spectac
ular from the opening whistle. The
greater portion of the afternoon's
scoring was accompanied in the first
half, which ended with a count of
12-10 in favor of the ultimate vic
tors. Misses Barbour, and Dudley
were the outstanding stars for the
highs and Miss Marion Wilcox for the
collegiate outfit.
Saturday's game was the first i. a
series of three meetings between
these two teams. The general pur-Wo
will be invited to the rmalni!,- en
