PALzER MOST PROMISING.
New York HSaV~sisht Springs Into Prominence Among the "Whits Hopos."

Of the two new heavyweights in the game we might say Al Pslzer of New York iB the most promising, is the opinion of a western sporting author fly. At least he has not been beaten and has done more tn lift himself to the top of the heavyweight division, inasmuch as he has beaten Al Kauf- man, considered a better man than any Morris has whipped.
 Palzer looks to be the real class in fighting stock. Of course he needs ex- peTience and a lot of it. but he did mighty well to finish Kaufman in five rounds. O'Rourke is managing the big Iowa Farmer and will have him at the top in short time if such a thing is possible
 Palser is built little on the order of Bob Fitzsimmons. He has very small legs, ordinary hips, big shoulders and 3 long reach. He weighs more than FItz did when the human freckle" was fighting for the championship and this Is to his advantage
 Palxer has never been knocked out. He started in the game about a year ago and was nursed along by O'Rourke until he began to show some promise, Then he was sent against some fair heavyweight boxers in the east and made good with vengeance. His first important engagement was with Ken hedy, and Tom outpointed him slight tY, but 1t was a hard ten round battle
 After boxing Kennedy, Palzer looked 10 have the proper experience to dc komething. He was therefore sent against Al Kaufman and he surprised the lstic world by finishing the big Californian in five rounds One year ago Kaufman was consids4ed the only logical man to send against Johnson.
 So PalLer has really done as much as has Flynn in the way of whipping real sOod opponents. Flynn whipped Kauf- man in ten rounds, the fatal punch being sent over in the last session.

YEAR OF SPEED
 IN AUTO RACING.
Great Records Made on Track and Road-5urman's Mile in 25.4 the Sensation.

Pessimists who have been raising an outcry as to the decline of interest in motor contests must pull in their horns" if they calmly review the situa- tion and give an unbiased opinion. Mo toring had great year. and 1911 will go down in history as one of the great est the sport has ever known, says the Chicago Tribune. In only a few branches was there any falling off in the number of contests, and those are the ones which the pessimists insist are the most esirable-reliabiltty runs and hill climbs. There were just as many road races-more, in fact, than in 1910-and while there were not quite as many manufacturers supporting the sport as there used to be, still the pro- moters are not complaining. Hill climbs suffered most of all, but that is because there ares really few good grades in this country that can be used for the purpose. There were not so many reliabilities, it is true, but those that were run off were of the Su- perior sort, the kind that really benefit the industry.
 Probably the most sensational per- fOrmance of 1911 was the mile straight away record created at Daytona, Fla, by Bob Burman in the Blitzen Benz, whose 25.4 seconds is equal to the startling pace of 142 miles an hour. An other demonstration of the speed of the motor car was shown at Santa Monica, Cal. last October, when liar Vey Herrick, in a National, smashed the worlds record of 74.4 miles an hour, which had Stoou since 1908, when NazZaro, in Fiat, established the mark in Italy, raising the standard to f4.62 miles an hour. This was at a distance of POS miles, and that the breed of the automobile has been in- proved was further instanced at Sa- vannah, where Ralph Mulford won thA Vanderbilt in a Lozier, with an aver age of TAOS miles an hour, while in the Grand Prix, David Bruce Brown, in a Fiat, averaged 74.45 miles an hour for All miles.
 That the NazzaTo high-water mark is easily negotiable is instanced not only in those cases, but from the fact that in the 26 road races that were run in this country in 1911, there were Is cars that averaged better than 70 miles an hour. Of the 26 road races there were about half dozen that can be regarded as premier events; the others were curtain raisers to the big shows. The Grand Prix, being an in- ternational race, naturally attracted the most attention. That saw David Bruce-Brown in a Fiat in a come back role. won in 1910 anHd re- peated in 1911. Harry Grant tried hard to win the Vanderbilt for the third time, but the cup vert to his team mate, Mulford, in a Lozier. The Elgin National, the stock car championship, was won by zengel in a National, while the fourth of the big classics, the Fairmount park road race at Philadel- phia, was taken by Erwin BergdoIl, a young millionaire, who drove a Benz to victory Out on the Pacific coast they had two doad meets. At Oakland Bert Dingley, in a Pope Hartford, won the free for all, while at Santa Monica this honor fell to Harvey Herrick in a Ma tional, and brought about the creation of new worlds record

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
MARKET MvoH WEAKER.
Stocks Under Moderate Pressure but
 Losses Were Smaller.

New York, Jan. 17.-Although there was no decided disturbance of the level of prices, the stock market to- day was appreciably weaker. The list lacked the unde1+one of firmness Of the earlier days of the week. Stocks were under moderate pressure most of the day, but losses were small. and Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific were the only prominent issues which receded as much as a point. The movement was listless, without ag- greSsive action on either side. To- ward the close the demand improved and the earlier losses were quite gen. erally recovered.
 The increased demand for invest ment issUes was perhaps the nest sig- nifcant feature of the day. The de- mand was apparent in both bonds and the higher grade of investment stocks. Buying by financial Institutions which are unable to loan funds at profitable rates, owing to the condition of the money market, IS a considerable fac tor in the situation. A good inquiry for the new Rock Island bonds, both at home and abroad, was reported, The reception of this issue, the first actual marketing of bonds on a large scale Of the year, was awaited with keen interest as a test of the market. With it's success indicated, it is re- garded as probable that other rail- road issues will be announced soon.
 The tobacco stocks and bonds and the c0alers, of late the active features of the list. again were the strongest issues, although their gains Wero smaller than on yesterday. The Am erican Tobacco preferred old and new stocks, the Liggett and Myers issues, LOrillard preferred and American n Snuff preferred rose from two to five points each. Among the coalers, Cen tral Railroad of New Jersey was marked up four points to 3S7, another high record price. The movement in the tobacco stocks was highly spec ulative, being attributed to manipula- ton in connection with the marketing of the new tobacco issues. National Biscuit rose four points to 14S, a new high record, and several others of the speciaIties gained lesser amounts. American Mailing preferred made a three point gain. Missouri Pacific wRG unusually active late in the day and advanced a point.
 Announcement that the last of the idle mills in the Pittsburg and Sharon district of the United States Steel cor poration was to resume operations was without effect upon the steel stocks which moved with the genTal market
 The completed figures of the cOun- try's foreign trade for last year full filled expectations of an unparalleled showing, exports having run ahead oi any other year, with an excess of ex- ports over imports ths largest since 1908,
 The bond market was firm, as 2 result of tbs heavy investment buy ing. Conspicuous strength was sh6WI by the BuTlingtnn, New York Central St. Louis SodfhI eStsTn, United States Steel and various tobacco isaass. To- tai sales, par valus, s4.S0s, s,6N1,

John B. Answers Baltic.

MT. Editor: In answer to the inquiry regarding the game between Baltic and the U. s. Finishing Go. last Saturday, l will say that l did not award the Finishing company a point because Dumfield was covering a man with the ball out of bounds, as the inquiry osks for; but the point was awarded be- cause Dumfield after being repeatedly warned to stay inside the of-side lines while the man from the opposing team was throwing the ball in, and not needing the warning, the Baltic team was penalized one point for delaying the game. Next time the inquirer had better stick his head under the show CT bath before the game starts and he will then probably hear things right.
