Plimmer comes to the front now with
a challenge to Critic, which, 1t Is re-
ported may be the Seaside Athletic
| Clubs next attraction. What license a
| bantam has to issue a def to a man
who could not possibly train down to
the feather-weisht limit does not ap-
pear, but the Englshman figures it out
that he beat Dixon in four rounds. and,
as George kept the Australian at arms
length for twenty rounds, he could at
least make a better showing than did
McAuliffe. 1t is perfectly plain, how
ever, to the talent that since those lucky
| four rounds with Dixon, Plimmer has
| let George severely alone. so far as ac-
tually coming to terms is concerned.
| On the face of his claims, Plimmer
could gain more by challenging Nc
Auliffe for the championship. but,
| strangely enough. he doesn't. Like the
shoe maker who stuck to his last, the
Englshman would perhaps be better off
| II he kept in his class, however.
| Manager Tom O'Rourke visited THE
Evening World" Office yesterday and
laughed as he alluded to the proposition
made by Plimmer. Said he: Here's a
| bantam who allows Dixon to weigh in
a lis pounds, and yet he wants match
with man who cant get below 13O
Then there's the additionally peculiar
situati of Plimmer. in claiming to
want go with man who doesn't want
any more OF Dixon, after twenty rounds,
| with pounds over pounds of advantage.
A match with Plimmer would suit
George and myself If anything like
| n q
arrived at. AS matter of fact, ! don't
believe he wants to fight even Critic, as
the disparity, of weights is absolutely
preposterous.'
