NEW YORK. Feb. 14.—After bit-
terly bewsuing his inability 'to get a
mstch‘with any'of the present crop of
heavyweights and inttmotmx that the
good men in the class were influenced
by fear or his pfowess. Fred Fulton.
who recently received a. card from the
Boxing- Commission. has at last ob-
tained in match. The sensations! of—
fair is to be staged at the Common—
wealth Sporting Club next Wednes-
dsymight and the name of Fulton's
'opponent is given in the ,omcial pro-
gram as Bob Gardner. ,
Close inspectlon 0.! the boxing rec-
ords of the past decade tail to dis-
close the name of Bob Gardner. and
the impression is created that it he is
formidable enough to joust with the
puissant plasterer his battles must
have been fought in private’ and kept
secret.
One thing in Gardner‘s favor is that
in making the match he proves he
is not afraid to meet Fulton in the
ring. Gardner may be a tatnlist who
holds that it it is decreed he is to be
slaughtered by Fulton it might as
well take place next Wednesday night.
Fulton's notable recon! is well-
known. and it is unnecessary to refer
to any or his exploits save, mere
mention 'of his brace of tempestuous
battles with Carl Morris and the brief
entertainment turnished by the plus-
terer and Jack Dempsey at Harrison,
N. J.
That Fulton will be returned victor
over Gardner is taken for granted.
and if any one evades the Boxing
Com i rule against bettinf and
we. I on the bout it will doubtless
be as to how long the mysterious Mr.
Gardner retains a perpendicular posi-
tion.
