SCORES WANT BATTLE
WITH COAST WINNER
Promoter McCarey Flooded With Chal-
1enges For Palzer and
McCarty Victor


Los Angeles. Dec 24.-The fact that
every white heavyweight boxer from
Borax Bill to Bombardier has tried to
gimlet into the AL Palzer-Luther Nc
Carly affair can be taken as pretty
good evidence that the New Years day
contest at Vernon Is attracting lot Of
attention.
.They might we'll save their mon
ey," said Promoter Tom McCarey to-
day, as he tore up paid" telegram
from a 200-pound citizen of Buffalo
who challenged the winner, with
$1.40 worth of wire prattle. 81 started
out with the heavyweights merely to
settle the question of which was the
best man. Jim Flynn, Al Palzer or
Luther McCarty, as I felt that the pub
lie looked upon these three as the most
promising heavies In America.
81 respect the ability of Wells, and
two other good men are Jesse Willard
and Frank Moran, but we will close
up shop when the belt Is turned over
to the lucky man that wins on New
Years day.
1T probably will be several months
before the Vernon winner will want to
/; box again, as he can clean up hand
somely with theatrical work. Along
about June July we may be able to
bring OF another series Of battles.

WHEELING FANS SATISFIED
WITH THE LOCAL TEAM.
Canton Needs Two Pitchers, Catcher
and shortstop-psyton Expect
Ing Big Attendance.

Expressions heard from the base
ball bugs OF Wheeling on the local
club are very encouraging. and An
derson and Robinson should feel
proud OF the fact. Practically every
fan In the city thinks Wheeling has
a good team and VIA nnish up in the
hrst division, and they are standing
loyalty back OF the club. The attend
ence for the opening games here will
be record breakers. The Smokes
open the season at Akron. and then
play GAINESVILLE. Six games on the
read before playing at home.
When the Pittsburgh team comes
north Anderson will throw his lines
out for another twirler or two. The
twirling stan at present looks very
good. in fact. better than many of
the Central teams. but Goat is not
going to take any chances.
CANTON, OFF -our deals now on
can be contaminated. the squad from
which the Canton Statesmen will be
chosen will be practically completed.
at least until a month or so after the
opening OF the playing season. Then
more men may be secured from the
discards of the major league teams.
The men sought are two high class
pitchers. a catcher who can travel
with them and a shortstop certain to
be OF Central calibre. President Yost
and Manager Gremminger have been
negotiating for their transfer to the
Canton club for some time. but so
far they have not succeeded. Yet
they are OF the opinion that the deals
can be pushed through.
DAYTON. O-That pennant rails
ing scheduled to take place at High
land park May Z. when Dayton's first
Central league flag will be foated to
the breeze. is going to be something
OF an event AS the editorial writer's
say. II will be an epoch. whatever
that is. Springfield appears TO be as
much excited over the event as Day
ton. The fans in the suburb are al.
ready making plans for a big inva-
sion OF Dayton on that day, as the
Reapers will be the opponents OF the
Vets when the big doing come on.
