has never healed and is today the
chief drawback to PalZer'S advance
ment toward the championship title.
Palzer is 6 feet 2 inches tall and
weighs 218 pounds. He has high
frontal bones, strong jaws and a
head set on a massive neck, running
into powerful shoulders. His should
er muscles are tremendous. His ribs
are well braced and what horsemen
would call short coupled. His stom-
ach muscles stand out in corrugated
ridges. His thighs are strong but
not too heavy and are upheld by
muscular calves that taper into light
but strong ankles. His hands are like
small hams. He is model of Jim
Jeffries when Jeffries was in his
prime.
Previous to this bout with McCar-
dell Palzer had won an amateur tour
nament which took place at the Irish
American Athletic Club. He didn't
tell his folks he had become a fight
er, and his father and mother sup
posed ''he was around New York
just throwing the boys down to make
a living"
Although Palzer was without a
manager at this period of his career,
none of the promoters of fighters
considered him worthy to be handled
until Tom O'Rourke saw him. After
Palzer had stripped and O'Rourke
had examined him critically he said,
You'll do. I'll teach you something
about the game Then I'll make a
champion of you"
"Palzer is the best looking man
have seen stripped in many days,
said O'Rourke to a friend. He is
built of the lines of a battleship.
You can't hurt him by hitting him
in the stomach, and the stomach, you
know, is the most vulnerable part of
a fighter
Under O'Rourke's tuition Palzer
learned rapidly. He improved in his
boxing with Black Bill as a sparing
partner. Soon after his first bout he
fought Frank Moran. He knew lit
tie or nothing about boxing but last
ed the ten rounds. He followed this
by nearly knocking out Tom Ken
nedy, put Soldier Delaney out in
three rounds, fought Kennedy again
and then wound up his series OF bat
ties by knocking out AL. Kaufman in
five rounds.
1t was his bout with Kaufman that
placed him in the front ranks of the
White Hopes. He knocked Kaufman
down twice in the opening round and
when Kaufman hit him in the throat
nnocking him four feet, Palzer got
I'D. shook his head and rolled Kauf-
man to the mat. Then he put a
right uppercut to Kaufman's jaw.
Ten secon's was counted over Al.
Kaufman tried to jolly Palzer into
stop hitting him in the stomach by
saying, Never mind working in
close, AL. Stand UP and box. They
don't hurt" This was heard by Black
Bill, who was coaching Palzer, "Oh,
don't they" said Bill. you're only
fooling yourself. Kaufman. | used

May Cancel Palzer Fight.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-It begins to
look as if the New York fans would
not get chance to see Jim Flynn
and AL Palzer in action in the ten
round bout proposed by Tom o.
Rourke.
Jack Curley received articles for
the bout from O'Rourke, who, in ad-
dition to controlling the club where
the fight was to be pulled OFF, is
manager of Palzer. According to
Curley, the like was never seen In
the way of fight articles before in
any country After going over them
with a microscope Jack saw lot OF
things that didn't appeal to his ideas
of what set of fight articles should
contain, and also discovered lot OF
stuff missing that he wanted on the
paper.

Iowa, for instance. When a young

/. President Taft has now equalled
the record of Roosevelt's administra-

Sherman law. The total number is
forty-four. In Roosevelt's seven
years eighteen bills in equity were
filed, twenty-five indictments return

Taft administration there have been
twenty-five civil suits and like
