Inc one-tuOukHt- TO- Ue- INV lnClOle req
lar Palmer, has again come to grief
this time in London in the arena of the
National Sporting club, the SWEETEST In
the world-and the woe intiicter was
Harry Harris of Chicago. The American
boy had height and reach in his favor.
and he made the most of both advan-
tages. He nearly cut the Pedlar's visage
into ribbons with straight left jabs. and
he was a sorry sight. indeed, when the
Is rounds they boxed were at an end.
Palmer fought with indomitable courage,
but he couldn't get to his man effectual-
ly. and even the defeated man acknowl-
edged the justice of the referees deci-
sion in favor of Harris.
: -
+ Harry is good, clever boy. but Palmer
While giving him full credit, told only
the truth when he said that Harris
was still long way below Terry Nc
Governs class. How our English friends
smust long to see Terrence perform with
Sthe gloves III London, and how they
would welcome a lad of British birth
\ who would be able to make him extend
himself.
Charley Mitchell didn't sail for Eng
sland as it was announced he intended do
ing last week. His movements here have
been somewhat erratic. He came here
rather impulsively. and his stay in this
country has been governed the same way.
1t is reported that he intends coming
back this summer. and 1t is also said
that he has a business understanding
with Kid Mccoy. There is also report
that Mccoy intends opening saloon in
Io,,fT al foV ho nfo tchi =
bibulous trade of visitors to the Pan
American exposition. Such saloon
probably will be profitable. even though
Mccoy is not in high favor just now
with the sporting public. Still. Ameri-
leans have short memories and also very
forgiving nature. There will be large
number of Canadians in Buffalo this
summer, and Mitchell is very popular in
| the Dominion. If it was known that he
had an interest with Mccoy in a saloon
| of the character indicated. no doubt it
| would command a large share of Cam
| uck patronage.
Mitchell saw good deal of Terry Nc
| Govern lately and he has been very much
| impressed with his fistic ability. There
| are really no good men in the English
| ring to-day. and it is currently stated
| that Mitchell believes that Terry can
whip any man in the English ring, big
or little. 1t doesn't Sem possible that
MitchelIs estimate of him. or rather Of
| the men in the English ring, is correct
! BY the way. this is likely to be a very
! lively summer and fall for McGovern.
! He has an engagement to fight Oscar
! Gardiner and arrangements are in prog
| ress to have him meet his late oppo-
! nent, Joe Bernstein, again in. California.
| Then there is a possibility that he and
Frank Erne may come together in Cali
| fornia. Erne's old manager, Jim Ken
nedy, is the head and front of the trans
planted Twentieth Century Athletic club
| and he will leave no stone unturned to
| bring about another meeting between
Terry and Frank this time at the light
weight, 1913 pounds.
| 49,
| Erne attributes his crushing defeat by
| MoGovernsto the fact that he reduced
| his weight too much getting to 12S
! pounds, when he fought him. He believes
| that with five pounds more weight or
| his frame, he will be able to make a
/ different showing with the South Brook
1 Ign Whirlwind. McGovern intends try
I ing his luck on the turf this summer
| with his younger brother, Frank as his
| jockey. He will be fortunate indeed, if
| their aid. Most men who follow the races
as owners find it very precarious meth
cd of making a living.
