FULTON WANTS TO . MEET LANGFORD By H. C. HAMILTOU (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, May 15. Fred Fulton is taking a short cut to permanent retirement from the pugilistic spotlight, or else he has found the short way back to popular favor with the fight fans. - Fulton wants to meet Sam Langford! "When Fred delivered the . foul blow that lost him prestige in New Tork and sent him back to Minnesota he brought down on his head the scorn of. all the New Tork fans. They haven't yet stopped talking about it. Fulton seems to be the ideal man to meet Jess "Willard for" the championship. In spite of the unfortunate outcome of his affair with Carl Morris he still looms as the most logical man. Morris flivvered when he made such a poor showing with Jim Coffey and Frank Moran has been out of the running for a long time. Fulton is a fighter of ability. He wai learning fast when he ran Into the rough-house methods of Morris. If he should get Sam into the ring and belabor the veteran negro there would be no one ready to say he wasn't at least half ready for the big fight. Fulton couldn't come back with merely a point victory over the crafty black. While it would get back some of his lost prestige. It wouldn't necessarily entitle him to any further consideration. He would have to score a knockout and It wouldn't do to make it a half-way affair. Gunboat Smith once whipped Sam Langford. the records show, but he was foolish enough to Try it again and the result was a defeat for Smith. Langford sometimes fights wonderfully well; at other times he can be outpointed. But the white man has never been found nor the black one either, for that matter good enough to stop Langford. Jack Johnson never would meet him after he gained the championship. Others have avoided him by drawing a color line. Fulton will be censured for fighting him on the ground that mixed bouts shoula not te held, but, just the Fame. Fulton has found the way back if he is good enough to put over the proper punch.

CHALMERS DRIVEN 603 MILES IN TRAFFIC Under conditions that were unfavorable Taul Gee, Chalmers distributor at Grand Rapids, recently drove a Chalmers seven-passenger touring car 603 miles in and around Grand Rapids in twenty-four hours. The car was locked in against low and intermediate speeds, giving the driver access only to high and revrse gears. Gee's run was remarkable. Three newspapermen. American Automobile Association representatives, checked all the details. An official stamp was placed on the seal binding the gears and the gasoline tank was filled and scaled. The start as made from the Chalmers service station in Grand Rapids. No set course waa followed, the car plunging through the heavy traffic up the heavy grades of the city and through the heavy going of the outskirts. Paul Carlton, a Chalmers salesman, relieved Gee at the wheel and during the major part of the afternoon and evening four other peresons were passengers. At 8 p. m. the day of the race a stop was made for gasoline and checked. All through a heavy downpour of rain, so fierce at times that the driver could not see the road and was forced to stop, the. contest continued. Gee and Carlton were wet to the skin, but they hung tenaciously to their work and again at 8 a. m. more gasoline was taken. About noon it was evident that a great Chalmers performance had been made, and at 1:50 p. m. as the car poked its nose in the garage, the speedometer showed to the newspapermen that the motor had traveled 603 miles, miring that time the average - consumption of gasoline was 13.2 gallons to the mile. This was low test gas. From every standpoint the run was remarkable. The conditions all the way were far from ideal. In criss-crossing the city locked in high geaf all sorts of impediments to speed were met with. And the heavy going assisted materially in holding down the average. Without the rain and muddy streets and roads the mark of 603 miles would easily have been bettered. . This test, which is exclusive high gear driving, is most severe on the clutch and back axle pRrts of the car. It was a convincing ttfst of Chalmers endurance. a ca
