McCarty was second only to AL Palzer

AS Palzer won his position chiefly
by his victory yer kaufman In Ave

least places him on a level with his
rival. McCarty can also point to the
fact that he made Palzer hunt an ex-

months age. AT that time Palzer de-
manded more money than the pro-
moters could afford to offer, and so
the match was declared off.

sacrifice to the present champion. But

the Pueblo greman is still strong, and,

path.
Judging by the result of his last
three bouts. McCarty has shown much
of the improvement that was predict

by Jim Stewart. In that contest Nc

of their effectiveness and made him
look the novice he still is.
But there is no reason apparent

This fan says that every club has a
