O'ROURKE
YOUNG PALZER WELL

San Francisco. Feb. 15.-Accordins
to the best information obtainable
Tom O'Rourke is in no hurry to send
Al Palzer against worlds champion
Jack johnson.
If ORourke was quoted correctly
he delivered himself as follows:
"Palzer is a kid and he needs ex.
Flynn n Carl Morris before he ever
thinks of n match with the big ne.
gro. When I send Palzer agains,
Johnson. you can bet he will win"
There is good. sound Judgment ir
that. but at the same time the course
mapped out does not insure Palze,
against risk to his building ambf.

If the writer remembers clearly
the itinerary laid GU for Carl Morri.

a match with johnson for fully a
year.
A go with Jim Flynn was to he a
part of Carl's education. but 1t prac.
ttcally put n stop to his champion.
ship studies. And now Al Palzer i.
expected to add to his experience h,
tackling this same Flynn.
Well. 1t may turn out all right am
then again it may not. There is ne
shrewder judge Of merit in fighter.
than O'Rourke and. II he honestl,
believes that Palzer is a match fol
Flynn. the only thing to do is to la,
back and wait for results.
Beyond a doubt, Flynn is about a.
dangerous a man as a white hope OF
limited experience could be sent
against. While never a star perform

knowledge Of ring meneuvers enrich.
ed by contact with all name OF
fighters.
He has been against the clever ones
and the tremendous hitters and he
has developed a complete style. He
has faced Jack Johnson and Sam
Langford and Tommy Burns and Billy
Papke and Jack O'Brien and Al Kauf-
man n more besides.
If Palzer meets and gets away with
Flynn. there will be excitement galore
and O'Rourke's find will be regarded
as the logical opponent" of Johnson
and then 1t. will De up to O'Rourke
to exercise restraint. He will need to

in a way there is a precedent for it.
Never a heavyweight Queensberry

that John l.. Sullivan was middle

will lick Flynn. Nor is it a certainty
that the men will fight.

OUR SWIMMERS
STAND SMALL SHOW

New York. Feb. 1T. s. Battresby,
England's champion swimmer and the
worlds record holder for one mile,
throws a dampcr on the chances of the
swimmers in this country al the Olym-
pic games in Stockholm. Sweden, next
July. In Il letter to a friend here Bal
tersby gives his views and while they
are rather discouraging they must be
accepted with some seriousness, as
there are few men in the swimming
world better qualified to judge.
He expressed the opinion that it is
only in the 1e0-meter swim that this
country has the BEST chance to win
from the foreign amphibians and that
in the relay race. of which the critics
here feel somewhat confden. our
swimmers can hardly be better than
third. His selections. in fact. are con-
trary in most cases to those of the To-
cal enthusiasts.
In the S00-meter relay contest for
instance. it was firmly believed that
Germany. Australia and the United
States would fight it out. Battcrsby
however picks Hungary for first place
and England for second, without even
a mention of the Germans who are
feared here. For the 100-meter sprint
McGillivray. Frizcll and Hebner are
thought by the Englishman to deserve
chances and in this he agrees with our
judges, but when it comes to the 400
and 1900 meter swims. he entirely
overlooks Taylor, Hodgson and himself
to crown Longworth of Australia. He
remarks. incidentally hat England
will have in h water a much weaker
team than 1t did in 1908 and that 1t is
doubtful il he himself will be able to
make the trip to Stockholm. owing to
unusual business pressure.
The one mile champion is also at
,t& 49, 1~lHt>e f~ kh~ Nnh
meter backstroke. Those who are
posted here are inclined to give Heb
ner. who holds the worlds record of
1908 2-5 for 100 yards. a clear road to
the titlefi with r. Taylor of England
and Gross of Germany next in line.
Battersby. however. declares himself
in favor of Weckesser of Germany.
The difference in opinion is carried on
to the two breast stroke events. For
try. Robinson and Holman Of England
and Barthe and Luetzow Of Germany
are generally considered on an even
footing but the British expert likes
Teldi of Hungary for first place with
Courtman of England second. In the
400 meter swim he gives preference to
Courtman instead of Barthe and Luet-
COW. who are liked here. In the fancy
high diving off the ten meter platform
he picks Hansen of Sweden for the
championship and in spite Of the hopes
for victory by Gaidzick, the national
titleholder. there is no denying that
because of the dissimilar methods Of
Judging obtaining here and abroad.
everything will be in favor of the
Swede.
Regarding the trick diving off the
three meter springboard. Battersby
confesses himself to be totally at sea
and unable to pass a verdict. Be-
sides the foregoing predictions he
sends the interesting information that
