Jack Palmer's next opponent will be
Sig Hart, the fast Chicago bantam.
The clever Akron boy has accepted an
offer made for a contest with Hart,
to take place IN Chicago June 10.
They will meet in n preliminary TO
one of the big shows ut Tattersalls.
Palmers friends would do him bodily
He will complete his training in this
city, at the South End Athletic club.
both men have agreed 10 weigh in at
40 pounds. Palmer Is at his best at
that weight. He hopes, while in Chi
cago, to get on another match with
Morris Rausch. Since 20 last named
returned TO Chicago he has been very
busy explaining how 1t was that he
did not get better than n draw with
Palmer. He claims now that Elmer
Manton. the referee, was afraid to
give him the decision, fearing that
Paler's friends would do him bodily
harm. This kind OF talk is the yeriest
rot. Anyone who has attended n fight
in this city knows that the Akron au-
dicnces are rs fair and impartial as
can be found anywhere.
After the Supples-Sieloff contest. the
manager of one of the men, complain
ed TO the writer, of the apparent cold
ness of the crowd which witnessed the
go. He says he never attended n fight
where the people cnthused as littl as
they did here. There has never been Il
match in this city where the crowd was
not well behaved and TO start the cry
that there was any indications of trou-
bic mt the Palmer-Rausc match is
nonsense. Rausch did not get the
decision, because he was not entitled to
IT, There are many good judges who
believe that Palmer can defeat
Rausch Another contest between the
men should prove a drawing card in
this city.
