PALMER WAS ROBBED.
Jack Palmer was up against the real
thing in Chicago. He was robbed of
a well earned decision. He put il all
over. Morris Rausch but the referee
was playing another combination TO
win and he refused TO see any of the
points scored by the Akron bantam.
i'm letter to the Democrat, Art Simms
says the following in reference 10 the
fight:
Chicago, Ills, June 81, 1900.
Sporting editor: l want the Akron
people to know how it was that Jack
Palmer lost the decision TO Morris
RauSch. 1t was clear case of high
way robbery. Jack should have had
decision in his favor. The first three
rounds he put it all over Rausch, near
ly knocking him down several times.
Rausch could not lay Il glove on Jack

before the show sould proceed. When
lie Appeared Us the referee i'll the ueXt
bout the crowd called for new Off
ciai. Palmer put UP a beautiful fight.
He was fast and punched hard. |
never saw him hit as lie did here
Rausch was cut and bleeding while
Palmer did not have a mark on him.
Jaca, was looked after by Eddy San
try, Danny Mcmahon and myself. He
has improved wonderfully since he
came here. The people of Akron will
be surprised when they see him box
again. He is very much disappointed
with the deal he received here and
returned to Akron tonight, where he
will try and get on match with
some one at his weight, 11G pounds.
Rausch weighed at least 10 pounds
more than Palmer. My regards to all
my Akron friends.
Yours truly,
ART SIMMS."
