 New York, Aug. 31.-Big Al Palzel Is without a doubt the class of the white hopes in these parts. but fol son1e reason or other he is not work Ing at it tfpese days. I was informed recently that the young man has made FSSeFst4lFee to his former manager, Tom DRosrrixe to patch JIp existing diff ferenceE on a basis that would be fair to both, but there seems to have been a hitch in the negotiations somewhere
 It's a. shame, too. There Is a crying Eenand for big men and to satisfy st tte two leading local clubs, the Gar den and St. Nicholas, have been of Swing LID aSSortmentS of heav1ee every weeE But the crop is very poor and hocal experts are about convinced that, barring Palzer, there is no such a mt1fnr as championship material in Gay Gotham.
 I note in the local sporting columns occasionally in the announcements of matches between fourth raters thaf ahe winners will meet Palzer, but the K1ussy farmer-slugger remains Idle rtlEt the same Whether local clubs refuse to sign him for fear of litlga- Hicn with OrRourte, or his present ad- Hisexs are responsible for AIS absence From the ring. I can't say. what ever rfe reason the most promising white Heavyweight IS out Of the -srae- and I would like tS see some one get to his ear and whisper some good sensible advice in it. A lighter Of the Pai1er type Is born, and not made and should be given every op- portunfty for development. With propery course of instruction In the science of boxing a fellow with the in herent fighting skill of this young Houan could be moulded into cham pion who would be 8. credit to the sport and to the white race.
 w.an the Boxing Commissioners de- cided to put the stopper on the pro- esosed ten round exhibition between sTack Johnson and Joe Jeannette, I Mhink they ower-Stepped the bounds Of sat1ttn<7ey It may be just as well show here. and quite number appear TO be of that opinion. but neverthe- lees there is nothing in the Frawiey law thai clothes the. Commissioners vith ,such arbitrary power.
 The cry that Johnson's appearance an the ring wonld hurt the sport here is net wen grounded. Jack is the boxing champion Of the world, and Joe Jeunsthe, who was to be his op-. s>ouent is recognized as one of the most ekiIlft1l members of che profess sion and one of the few men in the game 67O1kSnE 10 Dc q 1!A<1tcan AOA cAAS srharnpkon. Taxing a. line from the past meetings of the pair 1t looks a rerv even thing and the prospects werE that both would have been on 1hedr fest at the expiration of the bout and neither very nHnch Hfussed. It rvorald have been an exhibition or DoX- snx between slkalfui men and certain Ix there wuu4d have been nothing, -shrrtaf' about the affair.
 However. the bars were put up and the McNEahons called it of. Some critics are mean enough to insinuate that the Jealousy and influence Of politicians interested in a rival club had much to do with the action of mhe powers in charge of the sport in khfs state I can't say as to that, but it Is true thaf there was never "a word of protest from any quarter when the Garden people bid $20,00O flor the bout It was only after the Et Nicholas folks beat the other fel- lows to the match that the objection was raised
 If the Boxing Commissioners would e~e- after the clubs that keep pulling EsIch rfdiculoueIy one sided matches as Ahe recent Jeannette Madden faSco Hf1ey would score a bigger hit with the rporting public. The Johnson-Jen- mette contest promised god sport and "a scientific exhibition. The Madden affair was little short of murder. Had sTaannette cut loose he would likely have been arrested for manslaughter. Poor Madden was an awful boob in Rhe ring You can't tell me the match maker was ignorant of Maddens llm- tted knowledge of the game. If so he ought to be fired The Garden A
