our boys. There is something lacking
in the lighting makeup of the foreign
ers. They n seem I oget along
in the fast company Of the versatile
Americans.
No better Illustration of this condi-
ton is to be had than in the recent
60 in New York between Eombadier
| Wells and Al Palzer. Wells showed
to good advantage in the first round
Of their bout. But Palzer more than
evened up matters II gave his oppo-
nent more than he cared to handle
in the next two rounds. He put the
pionship aspirations in the third
round. Wells. according to reports
received from New York. appeared to
be a very much overrated fighter. and
it was lucky for him that the match
which was scheduled to take place in
! England between him and Jack john
son was stopped. He claimes to have
had some kind of a stomach all
ment just before his bout with Pal
ger which caused him to lose seven
pounds. He attributes his defeat to
this fact. says Abe Attell.

All of these eXcuseS may appear

but they do not take very we'll with
the American fight fans. And the fact
lacking in the way Of capable pugilis-
tic material. This condition not only
prevails among the heavyweights. but
among the men of the lighter classes
as we'll. One of the most widely ad-
vertised boxers that ever performed
came here to seek trouble n Jump
ed into prominence by defeating
Freddie Welsh-that man was Matt
Wells. He not only found that afore-
said trouble in abundance. but he
also found that he was a novice in the

land in New York some time ago. For
ten rounds the elusive stock yards boy
bewildered Wells with his jabs, hooks
and uppercuts without being in Sc
rious danger of having a mark on
himself; in fact. he left the ring with
out the slightest indication Of being
in an encounter.
AS another illustration of the
worth of foreign boxers one has only
to look to the recent occasion of the
meeting of Fred Storbeck. the South
African champion, and Jim Stewart,
the Brooklyn fighter. in New York.
Stewart, who never was much better
than a trial horse" decisively whip

The only thing about foreign fight

is that they all come to this country

to their names. But When they meet
some Of our boys they fail to show
championship form.
