Palmer VIII be under tho management
OF tho jovial Sam Fitzpatrick. who once
looked after the interests OF Peter Jack
son. and recently devoted--or. rather,
wasted--a lot of time In trying to find
n white man with spinal column stiff
enough to take on the negro, Jack john
son. With Palmer Fitzpatrick should
have easy sailing, for Palmer's recent
success over Gunner NIolr Will hardly
hll the Yankee lighters with dread.
Fitzpatrick said last night he had
heard that Tommy Burns was frettlng
himself away for lack OF fight. and
that no would give Burns the first op-
portunity TO meet Palmer. Now that
