Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1912-06-29

The most sensational heavyweight
bout that has taken place in years
was ended last night when Bombar-
der Wells, of England, hit the floor,
defeated after accepting one Of the
worst beatings in the region OF the
stomach probably ever handed a
boxer. Big AL Palzer was the king
after he himself had been o the
brink of defeat, and the thousands
in Madison Square Garden never
expected he would see the end of the
second round.
The end for Eugland's pride came.
in the third round, and he went
down without having been struck.
Fifteen seconds before he did capitu-
late to the mighty farmer he re-
ceived a vicious left swing in the
solar plexus from which he did not
recover Those near the end of the
ring where he went down noticed
that he fell through Palzer's guard
to the floor unconscious. His long
arms were stretched, and the count
OF the referee was unnecessary. For
five minutes 1t was necessary to
work on him.
How Palzer recovered from the
walloping thai was handed him in
| the first round, when Wells stretched
him on the canvas for the full count,
was a surprise to the crowd, but the
recuperative powers that are his
showed he had the strength to give
further battle, and In a short period
he had the Briton showing the signs
Of the pitiless blows that rained on
his stomach. Wells could no take
a blow there, and the handlers OF
Palzer were quick to yell this advice
to him.
There was q big difference In
weight. Palzer tipped the beam OF
228A. while Wells weighed but 1889
The American stood head and shout
