 New York. Aug 17.-Fight fans everywhere have fondness for heavy weights in action. Battles between big men appeal to the rank and file of boxing enthusiasts. The little fellows may please the experts with their sei- ertffic exhibitions of the manly art, but nothing so satisfies the average dyed in the wool fight bug as slug giag atch between couple of the husky brigade.
 The Madisori Square Garden man. agement has arranged a heavy weight proEramme for this coming Monday night that will likely pack the spa cioue arena to the doors. Fans Wno holfer for the big fellows surely ought 10 be we'll pleased with this bill There Is size in plenty. Imagine the treat In store for the sports when Luther McCarty and Jess Willard, the Texas scrapper, shake hands and start throwing gloves at each other.
 Willard. yonug giant rom Ieaas; S made good in a. way. He stanos SIX feet six inches in lis socks. McCarty > is a little fellow alongside of tnis modern Goliath of pugilism. He IS three inches SnOrIST- 1dlh duOu| bAlO uplift of boxing. This battle will surely be over our heads.
 Neither knows more about the sci entific end of the game than the law allows McCarty made 1t plain in the Stewart contest that he has a lot thing, is even more crude in his work Luther and his fellow with nothing but bulk to rec-' Dmmend him ought to furnish rare entertainment Nevertheless the priv Ilege of watching two such fine phys Icsi suecirens show the little they know about boxing is worth the price that is to be exacted.
 AS preliminary to. the star" bout Manager Gibson has booked Joe Jean ette, who claims Johnsen's crown, to box Jef Madden, heavy-welght, or Boston. Also Tom Kennedy and linn Savage, gos. ten rounds as eorts otE curtain raiser to the classy McCar- ty-Wil1ard match
 Can you imagine pair of tyros oc- rupyinF the headline place on box ing bill at the classic Garden ten years ago? In a ring where stars or the brflIiancy of Sullivan. Fitzsim- mons Mccoy and others were won't so meet in argument over the ques- tion. of hstics supremacy?
 The white hope problem is resoon- sible of course, for the prominence given the bounteous crop of near z lighters and the opportunities offered hem to make good. Colored suprem- . acy in tthe ring has created tre- mendous demand for white heaviee, and the remunerative possibilities of he game have attracted a number of young men who under normal con- iitions would be confining their phys teal culture exercises to jobs about The farm In the old days the high class Heavyweight supply was plenti- full, but within the last decade the quality of the big fellows has, deter -Eorated frightfully.
 I sincerely hope it is true that Al Palzer and his earstwhile manager, Tom O'Rourke. have patched up their differences. Each man needs the other badly. Palzer is head strong youth and dislikes to be bossed about the training camp, but that's exactly sbe sort of treatment he requires. Tom is no kid glove trainer and the handling of a growing and lazy fel- low of Palzer's type calls for the iron system. With the veteran at the helm Palzer quarters before long; one thing is sure Tom won't stand for his charge toeing the mark unless in first class condition Big Al is the class of all the hopes shown in New York 90 far By hopes I do not mean the F6LSEA~lt Dl luC ClAA 1y HI OtaN HOAAA my Burns variety. but products of the ring since Jeffries went down to defeat
 Evidently all is not harmony be- tween Champion Adolph Wolgast and says he will box Packy Mcfarland .ea rounds in New York the latter part of next month. while Jones from Pacific coast "westefnunion's ' there win be nothing doing in that direc- ion.
 The fans are roofing for this match. It has been talked about so much the ast two years that it looks like the best card possible to arrange at this time. Packy and Ad were signed up ast fall, but the hard-hearted sheriff of a wisconsin county put the kibosh on the poceedinge.
 The despatches state the weight is to be 1s5 pounds at three o'clock in the afternoon An arrangement made to order for the'' stock yards wonder, and I can see Paclxy winning all the way Ten rounds is too short for Ad to get going with the speedy McFar- land. No doubt the articles of agree nlent stipulate that the result of the lightweight title. but you know how 1t is. If Mac Should happen to put The ''k. o. over. and it would not eur- prise me. the sports generally would acclaim the Chicagoan as the main stem in the light weight division. Remember what Young Corbett said when informed that his defeat of Me- Govern did not carry the title with it. 'I don't care about that. he Eva Tanguayed, They will always point 10 me and say there goes the guy faat beat Terry McGovern.' That's Hlor yenough for me- Maybe that's the way Packy .dopes it out. I know he believes he can trim the champion af the weights.
 After freezing out many of the smaller organizations and practical " cornering the market in the matter of talent. the Garden and St Nich- oIas boxing clubs are at logger heads. Trouble has been brewing for the past Jew weeks and each matchmaker now apparently devotes more time stealing the others matches than to arranging attractive cards of his own.
 Both clubs have been doing enor- mcus business and during the hot
