cssstty be entirely different in charac-
ter from the F1ynn-McCarty engagement.
On a surety McCarty will not hold
PalZer at arms length with the left
while picking a target for the right.
In the arguments that are be-
ing INDUCED in at present, Pal
ger and McCarty are regarded as an
point in which McCarty excels is thought
10 be Offset by some fighting qualifica-
ton possessed by Palzer.
MSCarty is considered the better boxer:
PalZer the harder hitter. In the matter
of strength the men are supposed 10 be
on par. but IL is thought that Palzer's
ruggedness has been thoroughly proven
whereas nothing much is known of Nc
Carty's ability to endure rough usage.
Chances Arc Even.
When the various fighting attributes of
the two big men are compared. the con-
test looms up as an event I'm which the
chances are equally balanced. but even
II the participants were a pair of tyros.
the impressive appearance of the two
giants. considered in conjunction with the
great rivalry existing between them they
would lend a vast interest TO the affair
The clash will probably cause as much
turore as the two battles between Tom
Sharkey and Jim Jefrries, when the sailor
and the boiler-maker were comparatively
young at the game.
\ whisper comes from the East, how
ever, that the fight which is pending
must not be looked upon as the final
heat in the white hope journey. II is
said one Jess Willard will wish il to
be remembered that he outboxed Luther
MCCarty in New York Willard. IL re-
port speaks truly, will demand a match
with McCarty in the event of the latter
winning from Palzer. There is another
rumOr, not so well defined that Tony
Ross will rebel strenuously at any al
tempt on Palzer's part to claim white
hope supremacy.
Al and Luther will probably regard
these little interruptions as samples of
the worry which are rarely inseparabIe
from greatness in any walk of life. When
the time comes, Willard or Ross or who
ever il may be, will simply be asked TO
locate promoter who will offer suitable
Inducements" and that any challenge
couched in respectful diplomatic Language
will receive the consideration II deserves
Jack Johnson, by common consent, has
been thrust aside, but some one has asked
how 1t will be II Sam Langford comes
back from Australia and objects to the
white hopes claiming a monopoly of the
white hope situation.
This is another bridge that II will he
time enough TO cross when 1t Is reached
At the same time, II Langford does put
in an appearance and insists that he is
entitled to recognition from the survivor
of the white hope tests, one great contrn-
versy will arise.
Suggestions have been made that there
be no mixed matches in future. In such
case, a white man refusing to battle with
Langford will be forced to~take the stand
that he merely claims to be the white
champion of the world.
"All right" Langnord NAV saw IT
claim the black championship Of the
world, and in order to make the situation
interesting. I am going to claim the cham
pionship of all the races in the world"
Unless q def Of that kind is noticed, No
very great step will have been taken
toward restoring the pugiIistic supre-
macy to the white race
