WELLS KNOCKED
OUT BY PALZER
IN F UR|OUS CO

NEW YORK, June 29.-Fighting
with the desperation of despair, with
his hackers hopes nearly dead, AL Pal
ger of Iowa, knocked out Bombardier
Wells, champion English heavyweight
in the third round of what was sched-
uled to be ten-round .bout at Madi-
son Square Garden last night.
The finish came with a left-hand
hook to the pit of the stomach while
the men stood at close quarters. Wells
had been previously knocked down
twice in succession and the third knock
down finished him.
Jim Maloney, trainer and adviser of
Wells seeing Wells stretched helpless
just as Referee Billy job had called
out ten" In the short space of three
rounds was crowded action Of the su-
prerne kind
Wells Started Strong.
The tide of fortune changed not
only with each round but with each
second of fighting Wells was easily
the master in the first round and had
Palzer so badly battered and damaged
that it seemed the English titleholder
would easily win. But his vital forces
were sapped by his strenuous work in
the first session, and Palzer, the cave
man." wore down his adversary and
beat him into a senseless mass of hu-
manity.
Wells began in fine style. His clever
ness as a boxer soon become apparent
Every time that Palzer rushed at him
In the opening round Wells drove let's
and rights to his face with singing
force. The EngIishman soon had Pal
zers lips cut and bleeding.
After being knocked down in the first
Palzer just had sense enough to clinch
and last out the round
American Had the Grit.
Bets were freely offered that he
would not last through the second
round, but the. Americans gameness
and desperate attack carried the day
for him.
Animated by the desire to win by
knockout so that he could challenge
Jack Johnson, Palzer started in to fin
ish Wells in the third session. Palzer
realized that in order to win he had
to knock out Wells. for the English
man was outpointing him by mile
Palzer changed his mode of attack
He had been unsuccessful in trying to
land on Bombardieris face. So he closed
right in with wild wollops and finally
counted with a series of near haymak-
ers
BOTH MEN WERE TIRED.
Both men were practically dead on their
feet before the coup de grace came along.
1t was a toss-up which would last the
longer and Palzer's superior strength
strength gave him the victory
Wells was clever while he lasted. His
horizon of attack was broad arc extend
ing nearly around the ring. He circled
Palzer. shooting over hard left hooks and
right crosses to the face Never once
did he try for Palzer's stomach. Palzer
kept boring in all the time, even when he
was weak and dazed during the first
round.
Tom O'Rourke the erstwhile manager
of Palzer showed how his feelings to-
ward Palzer had changed by repeatedly
calling to Wells during the battle to use
a right hook.
The estimated receipts of the house
were 1000
The crowd came early. but il was not
great, not more than 5000 being present
before the bout was called,

This was the beginning of Balboa's
search for the South sea He had sen.
the word home to Spain and in return
was given the title of Captain General
de la Antigua and told to make an expo
dition to find the gold. II was on Septem-
Der /, 1913 that he started out with 100
white rflen and a party of Indians. Far
Their ON he got other Indian guides, and
on September 8 he was told by an indian
chief that he would see the great sea
when he had passed over certain noun
tains which we're then in sight This
man gave Balboa some gold ornaments
which he said came from the ocean.
The Discovery of the Pacific
Going onward Balboa had to fight HIS
way through the country, and 1t was
not until September &c. at about 10 O'Clock
in the morning, that he reached tho
heights from which he saw the Pacific.
On this spot he put up a cross made OF
the trunk of tree and wrote upon it the
name of the ruler of Spain. He then
made his way with his men down to the
beach and waded out into the water.
where he waved the banner of Spain over
the ocean and proclaimed that 1t and all
the lands on and about it belonged to his
king.
Balboa got a great deal of gold and
pearls on this expedition. He was given
one pearl which weighed rs carats and
which sold for $4,000, and in his papers he
says that pearls were so plentiful that
some of the Indian canoes had their oars
set with them. He did not find the temple
of gold and an expedition was sent out
Ia ter to search for II.
Still later Balboa headed an expedition
which carried boats over the isthmus and
there put them together to explore tie
South seas. They went out past the Is
lands in Panama bay and visited the
Pearl Archipelago, which is still farther
out in the Pacific. The expedition, how
ever, resulted in no finds of great valnA
and when the Balboa came back the gov
ernor of Darien, who was jealous of him
and his fame, accused him Of treason and
cut off his head.

castles were almost impregnable and that
the garrison consisted of 300 soldiers. 1t
had a population of about 5000, and among
it's buildings were some great warehouses,

upon mules, and where the ships landed

After taking the town the pirates loot

them give up their wealth and this with
such cruelties that many died on the
rack.
Besieging Old Panama
Ntorpan now sent word across the 18TH

handing a ransom. This was refused
and the pirate went with his crew back
to Cuba and thence to Jamaica TO prepare
for it's capture They had then In ready

a great stock of linens. silks and other

TTHE Panamanian government is re-
building the road to old Panama,
L This road runs over the way picked
out by the Spaniards centuries ago. and
much of the new pavement is relaid with
the cobblestones over which the Indians
and mules carried their cargoes of gold
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. All
the treasures Of the meas which Pizarro
stole passed over this highway. They
amounted to millions and were enough to
have almost paved it with gold. The
road went from here over the old Cruces
trail Ii was originally covered with
field rock and our government is now
planning to reopen 1t, and 1t will mac
adamize the highway as far as Cruces
on the Chagres river, a distance of about
Is miles. 1t was over that road that
Henry Morgan the buccaneer, came to
capture old Panama, and it remained
the chief highway, across the isthmus

At any rate they took the castle and

Esquemelings story. it contained vast
treasure. The churches and monasteries
were full of gold and silver and in the
fire which took place much gold plate was
melted by the flames. Some of this may
be found in the excavations now maxi
ing.
After destroying the city and spending
some time in great drunken spree, the
pirates took the treasure and their CAP
tives and started back to the Atlantic.
They tortured the Spaniards to make
them confess where they had hidden
their money. They twisted cords about
their foreheads so tightly that the eyes
of the victims popped out as big as eggs
and as though like to fall from the skull. ;"
They put even the women and priests on
the rack and committed all sorts of bar
barities. The number OF prisoners carried
away was 800, and 1t took 175 beasts of
burden to transport the silver and gold.
The prisoners were h cid for A ransom UNI

The New Panama
For year after this raid there was no
city of an ysize on the Pacific coast nf

decreed that Panama should be rebuilt.
and plan was made which placed the
city where 1t is now. The old site was
much worse than the present one. al
though the latter is not good. The land
ing at old Panama was such that ships
could not come in at low tide. and even
today the large steamers anchor at Bal
boa.
tste building of the present Panama
was begun about 237 years ago. The work
was slow and the cost enormous. 1t was
estimated that 100000 were spent upon

asked him what he saw. The frown

Balboa and His Search for Gold
Another old historic point at Panama Is
where Balboa stood when he discovered
the Pacific. Some of the authorities have
picked out the spot. Balboa had been al
! Port Daren, on the Caribbean sea, a.
the southern end of the isthmus, and had
there made a settlement, including a
church. which is said to be the first
church built on the American continent

stories of the gold to be found farther on
One of the chiefs named Comagre gave
| him about $4,000 worth of gold and told
him that over the mountain was a natior
so rich in this metal that they ate out Of
gold dishes. He described a temple Of
solid gold and offered to conduct Balboa
to where it lay.
