PALMER IS DUE SOON.
Ex-Champion British Heavyweight to
Seek Bouts in America.

New York, Feb. 6.-Jack Palmer.
the English heavyweight, who was
expected to arrive in this country last
week. but who was detained by illness
in his family, has written to a promi-
nent sporting man here that he will
land in New York in about two weeks.
Palmer is coming to this country with
the intention of getting fights with
some of the heavyweights or heavy
middleweights.
Palmer was heavyweight champion
of England until he met Gunner Moir,
who defeated him for the title. He
saws Moir is too big for him. and as
the present crop of active "heavies,' in
this country is rather light, Palmer
believes he will stand a better chance
of success here. He can make about
165 pounds and be at his best.

like a shot and his seconds jump into the
ring and carry him out One of the feat

may be exercised on streets where travel
is limited These runs SAVIOR too much
