Last night he went on for his exhihi-

wonder is that he was even able to spar.

things lively for the Australian. Hall

There seems to be an opinion in England
that Lord Dunraven will not DE- given a
fair hearing a the New York Yacht Club
investigation. Here is what the current
issue of Yachting World has TO say:
Although backing Lord Dunraven's chal-
lenge 1t cannot be said that the squa drOn
has ever regarded the New York Yacht
Club with much affection. and il has at no
time been anxious to enter into relations
with that boyd. Then. again, their atti-
tude is undoubtedly correct one. Themat-
ter is purely a personal one between the late
challenger and those upon whom is thrown
the unpleasant duty of rcfuting the allega-
tions, and if the two contcnding parties
agree to a tribunal which is to settle their
differences. We cannot see that il matters
anything 10 the Royal Yacht Squadron what
more is done.
The decision of the squadron not to take
any part in the inveStig alton is ccrta in
10 be hailed by certain sect ion of tne New
York press and public as an expression of
disbelief in Lord Dunraven's statements:
but the late challenger can, Of course, afford
10 disreg ard any such statements OF opinion
and many are sure TO be made. Every one
on this side of the Atlantic thoroughly be-
lieves in the gcnuiueness of the nature of his
aleg atoms. and the mere fact of his being
now on his way across the Atlantic to at
tempt to substantiate his statements, at
q time when such Journey l5 matter OF
considerable personal Inconvenience, shows
that he has AT all events the courage of his
convictions.

the proceedings Of the investigation will
prove conclusively the truth or otherwise

There are many ma nagcrs and pro-
motors OF pugilism anxious TO get Pedlar
Palmer, WHO recently defeated billy Plim-
mcr, to come to this country. Sam Austin
has this to say about the outlook: The
mails to England are just low Tiled with
letters from pugilistic projectors WHO are
ANXIOUS to bring Pedlar Palmer to this
country. Palmer's victory over PGmmer
has made him a hero of no mean order.
and the managerial corps look upon him
as medium for profitable business. Pedlar
may be induced to come over, but doubt
it. i have il from very good authority that
he is DESTROYS of going against Jimmy
Barry. and as Parson Davies has announced
his intention of taking his little protese
over before long, the cockney lad Will wait
his coming in the hope that something
might he arranged over there. In the event
of his coming over Pediar Will not long
remain idle. Planners victory over
Dixon in a limited round encounter would
Justify the latter in anticipating meeting
with the man who defeated the man who
defeated him. Then there is Barry, who
can fight nearer to Palmers weight than

who came all the way from Australia To

Martin Julian Talks of the Fitz-

ALL AFTER PEDLAR PALMER
Pugilistic Managers Anxious to Get
Hold of Billy Palmer's COnquerOr.
English Don't Think DunravenWin
He Given Fair Hearing-Jtm
!. Dwyer win BOX Peter Maher.

Martin Julian has broken loose again.
and makes the following extraordinary
statement:
"In-case Fitz defeats Maher on Feb
ruary IA. he willleave his $4,000 side bet
in the hands of the referee for fight the
next day, February 8, with Corbett, il
Dan Stuart will agree to offer a suitable
purse. If CorDett accepts this propnsi-
ton he can hold himself in readiness at Ell
Paso, while Fitz is fighting Maher.'
In the first place, Corbett would not go
into the ring at such n time. and Julian
seems to he trying to influence the bet
ting in Fitzsimmons' favor by this out
landish idea.
1t is both well and timely that Julian
includes, lin case Fitz defeats Maher,"
for there Is deal OF uncertainty about
the result of this match; SO much, In
fact, that the Irshman has u shade the
better of il with the men who talk with cash.
The feeling at the time of the Sullivan
Corbett fight was almost the same, Il Though
John l.. went into the ring a favorite in
many quarters, as FitzsiIuInons will prob
ably he.
Many sporting mt n think highly of Maher' 5
powers, and for a fact 1t really does seem
that he mas more thana fighting chan nee with
the Aust raliau. There aretwo things which
are helping along the feeling a a hot rate.
First, Fitzsimnons is the same boxer
he was three or four years ago. He has
not improved, nor has he lost any Of his
cunning. In the second place, Maher has
improved wonderfully since Fitzsimmons
defeated him, and he is almost as quick
and agile as the Antipodean.
