 Round Other Fights.

LOS Angeles, Cal, March 21.---Jdck tTwtn) Sullivan of Boston knocked out Jack Palmer of England here to- night in the tenth round of twenty round boxing contest. Palmer claims the heavyweight championship of England and to-nights contest was his first fight in this country.
 Considerable delay was caused over the controversy of the referee, they finally agreeing on Charles Fly ton, well known sporting man of this city.
 It was 10 o'clock q a. m. New York time) before the fighters were fairly ready to enter the ring.
 It was evident that both men had trained religiously for the mill, and each had big following. Sullivan ruled favorite in the betting just before entering the ring at 2 to 10, with many takers. Palmer's work, according to the reports, has been of high character lately, and so good a judge as Tom McCarey, who has seen him frequently in the last week, declared that he was trained to the minute.
 The wise ones pinned their faith on Sullivan and looked to him to win decisively on points with a possible chance for knockout.

Reisler has wired Attell in Chicago asking him if he will meet Harris, and if he consents Reisler will cover the forfeit of $2,50O that Har- ris posted.
