be showed under but somehow or other
they so cleverly manipulate matters
that they win nearly every time they
start on the job It's case of an
organized minority putting the kibosh
on an unorganized majority.
Monday night Gothamites will have
, their first glimpse of Luther McCarty
since Billy Mccartney brought the big
boy east. Jim Stewart. the Brooklyn
trial horse, has been chosen to give
Luther his metropolitan tryout Stew
art himself will not do as champion
ship possibility; he is a very inconsist-
ent performer, but has the knack Of
waking up occasionally and foOling the
boys. He did this with Carl Norris
twice. Jim should be able to bring out
Whateverd fight there is in McCarty,
so that we may get something of line
on the big westerner.
McCarty processes confidence and
says he will put Stewart away barring
accident His feat of stopping the ele-
phantine Morris suggests great punch
ing power. Others of greater fame, in
GLIDING Jim Flynn, found it impossible
to even daze the Oklahoma giant If
Luther wins this heat he will be sent
after Palzer. The latter says he is
ready and anxious to box Mac at any
time, but asks a reasonable amount of
coin for his services. It seems that the
winners end of the recent Palzer-
BOmbardier Wells contest did not meas
ure up to AIS idea of what he is worth
as an attraction, so he now insists
upon guarantee of $4,000 Providing
McCarty shows class and energies an
easy winner from Stewart he will be
established as a good card and no doubt
the Garden nagement will then ar
range somehow to grant PalZer's de-
mands. Tough on the scrappers these
days. In the Olden times champions
could not command the purses that
third raters now insist upon.
I received a. letter d few days ago
from a friend of Tommy Burns advis-
ing me that the former champion plans
an early return to the ring, having
booked a Is round bout with one Bill
Richard, a novice hailing from Van
couver, B. c. The contest is in the ma
ture of a try-Out for Burns and will
take place somewhere in the Saskatche-
wan district this coming week. There
IS no reason in the world why Tommy
shouldn't make good providing that
knee trouble no longer bOtherS him.
Burns IS a young man and was by no
means dead one when he voluntarily
retired two years ago. If near old form
he will make most of the present crop
of white heavies take to the woods
jim Flynn is not discouraged at fail
ure to annex the championship and in
tends taking on all the white hopes"
one after the other, so manager Jack
Curley says with the intention of earn
ing another chance at the big dingc.
I suggest that Jim exercise the great
est discretion in selecting the hope"
to begin operations upon, else he might
not get to the end of the line. Ny ad-
vice would be to save Al Palzer for the
final bout. and to toe the mark in
the very best condition. Otherwise
curtains" for James, same as Kaufman
and Wells. Palzer. though very raw,
is no dub and IL is extremely dangerous
to attempt to take liberties with him
in the ring.
An ideal opponent for Flynn would
be Tommy Burns. That is should To-
massO come back in good style. Flynn
and Burns are about a weight and [
Tommy knows the craft better and is I
1 brainier boxer and superior ring gen
sraL But his long lay off would prove !
considerable handicap and about even I
matters between the men.
