TRICK ARTICLES STIR CURLEY
FLYNN-PALzER GO IN DOUBT

Jack Curley yesterday received from
Tom ORourke what he refers to as a
set of trick articles for the proposed
Jim Flynn-Al Palzer fight in New York
on Feb. Is. Curley was inclined to be
angry after he had perused the con-
tents thereof and averred IN loud tones
that ORourke must be taking him for
sucker"
Why" said Jack, ut is the funniest
set of articles I ever had handed to me
for a big Tight. am sending them
back with a scatl1ing four page letter
which ought to bring O'Rourlxe to time.
The articles state that the contest
Is not to be of over ten rounds and each
round not longer than three minutes
with one minute rests between them
According to that the fight could be
stopped at any time under ten rounds
and n Flynn hit Palzer on the chin
after one round was a minute old the
timekeeper could ring the bell. Moth
ing like that for us.

CROAK
SHADES
WILSON

Buffalo, N. Y, Jan. 1s.-In the Inter-
national club fight Young Wilson and
Jack Croak of Hammond lived up to
their promise of great contest. From
the tap OF the gong their ancient
grudge was apparent Croak had the
harder punch and handled himself bet
ter. reaching Wilson's jaw solidly many
times. two or three OF the wallops
making Wilson's legs sag beneath him
as no fell into a clinch. Wilson SEEM

and fourth rounds, staJbbing him away
with a straight left hand, but CroalE
assumed crouch that Wilson couldn't
solve in the two final sessions and the
1ab missed more than 1t landed after
that. At each bell tap they few at
each other like tigers and were mix

Croak was wa.ring the better toward
tho end. and his solid smashes to Will

shade. 1t was magnificent bout

Another thing. the articles fail to
mention anything about tho rules. I
have told O'Rourke repeatedly that
Flynn will box Palzer only under
straight rules, each man to protect him
self in the clinches. Also that If the
New York boxing commission insists on
clean breaks the match Is OF. He has
failed to reply on this point Flynn
will certainly not take chance with
Palxer on clean breaks before the
Johnson fignt. 1t would not be fair to
Johnson. Jim can trim Al under
straight rules. but the other way he
might be held even for ten rounds.
Then people would say he was not a
At opponent for Johnson.
Unless OsRourke sends me articles
embodying the points I wish inserted
Palzer will not get a. chance at the best
of the white hopes. 1 have given Jack
my word on this point and 1 will keep
it too"

change being that he named $4,000 for
