THINKS He HAD
A DRAW COMING
Palzer is Still Crying-1nter-
esting Fight Dope From
Gall Over"

New York. Nov. 27.-Friends of AL
bert Palzer declare that if a decision
had been allowed he would have re-
ceived Il draw at the end of the tx
round bout with Tony Ross in Phila-
~ protest against the opinion of some
ringside sharps that Palzer received
a hard threshing.
Tom ORourke. Palzer's manager,
admits that the big white hope put up
a poor fight n proved that he is still
in need Of a vast amount Of ring
work before he goes UP against the
winner of he Jim Flynn-Luther Nc
lCartN battle at Vernon, Cal. on De-
cember 10. O'Rourke. it might be
said, was bitterly disappointed by Pal
zer's showing against the husky Ross.
After the mill the excuse was Offer
ed that P;tlzer had been suffering from
Il heavy cold. but did not call off the
match with Ross because he expected
to win easily.
Persons who saw the scrap declare
that PalZer was slow and clumsy and
that Ross outciassed him in boxing
skill. Ross also made the Iowa giants
nose bleed practically ut the start. n
that worried Palzer n lot. Ross was
in the pink of condition.
O'Rourke says that he intends to
send Palzer after second raters, in
Guiding Jim Stewart and Sandy Fer
guson. within the mex few weeks, if
only to give The big fellow plenty
of actual ring fighting. Palzer looked
all over d coming champion Of the
world when he stopped AL Kaufman
here last winter, hut the feat. a sit
turned out. was not so very wonderful
inasnuch as Luther McC'arty recently
| CT nnnnd LSorfS,oor in half tho fipna "a
quired ny Palzer. Because of his
break with O'Rourke last spring. Pal
ger allowed himself to get out of ply
steal condition so that he was hog fat
when he boxed R~ombardier Wells in
the garden.
1t is a matter of record that Palzer
after beating Wells. refused to live up
to a written agreement to box Nc
lCarty in the garden within six weeks.
Palzer. under O'Rourke's mentor
ship. is bound to improve, but how
much?
Word comes from London that s 70
many members of the National Sport
ing club believe that Referee Corri
should have called the wells-Welsh
bout a draw instead of giving the YER
dict to Welsh. Manager Bettinson
has signed the boxers for another 20
iround bout in February. under the
same CONDITIONS mat governed C00
mill a week ago. George Mcdonald.
Matt Wells manager. in a private
cablegram to a friend in this city.
says that the worst that Wells should
have received was a draw, and that
as a matter of fact he was clearly OUT
fighting Welsh at the finish.
Corri. it will be remembered. was
scorched for calling the first Lang
ford-Mcvey fight a draw. Langford
beat McVey or that occasion, accord
ing to competent eye witnesses. but
lCorri would lot see it.
Battling Nelson. who is matched to
box to rounds with Leach Cross at the
Forty-fourth street Sporting club on
the afternoon of Thanksgiving day. is
bringing his own gong to be rugged
at the ringside. Nelson is so deaf
that he cannot hear the ordinary bells
in use at boxing clubs. so he has pur-
chased a huge fire gong that can be
heard above the din of the crowd.
Nelson looks to be made to order for
|Cross and will be a lucky boxer II
he stays the limit with the heavy hit
ting dentist.
