If Gunboat Smith defeats Jim Flynn
in Madison Square Garden on Au-
gust the winner can talk business
to Palzer for a fight in a hurry at
the Garden. But whether school
keeps or not over here, Palzer and
his manager will take passage for
France, where AL is billed to fight
Georges Carpenter, the French
champion, in the fall.
! @
| 1t is interesting news to learn of
Palzer's return to activity in his
chosen profession. Al has been a
most satisfactory fighter and his de-
feat by McCarty came like a thun-
had seen both men perform. Pal
zer's victory over Bombardier Wells
was enough to make him formidable
in all eyes and McCartys poor show
ing against Jim Stewart and his no.
better performance against Jess Will
lard were sufficient to give Palzer all
the better of it when comparisons
were made AS we understand it,,
Palzer is to begin all over again, or,
at least, where he left off before his
bout with McCarty. He is going to
battle his way to the front, first come
first served, and he is going to Paris
to clean up the popular champion
| over there. Some day, If he tends
istrictly to business and follows
O'Rourke's advice, he may be the
worlds heavyweight champion. For
all anybody knows, the time may not
be very far eff, for Jack Johnson,
the title holder, is now in Europe,
and, from all accounts, intends TO
remain there, so there is every rea-
son to believe that Palzer, if he
beats Carpenter, will be the one to
meet Johnson if Jack is permitted to
fight over there. A chance, it would
| seem. is all that is required. for John
son is said to be big and fat and just
prmed for killing"
Packey Mcfarland is talking fight
and his pugilistic guns are turned on
Willie Richie, the lightweight cham
pion Mcfarland wants to meet
Richie for the championship, and it
may be that these old friends will
clash before long in some kind of a
| battle. While Packey insists that he
would like to fight Richie in a
tWenty-round bout with referees
decision, the probabilities are that
both men will settle their differences
| in ten-round, no-decision contest
in Madison Square Garden. The
weight question, which has always
been a sore spot for Mcfarland, will
not Interfere in a match with Richie,
| Willie, it seems, doesn't like to make
| anything less than 1874, and 1876 would
suit him better Mcfarland. has said
that he will scale 1874 pounds three
or four hours before the contest, so

in SIGHT would have Richie and Nc
Farland as the principals That
bout would be the most attractive
ever held in the Garden, and Billy
Gibson, the matchmaker, is on the
job to bring such a meeting about.

to see more long races at the Velo-
drome and he also has other comment
to make:
1 have only one fault to find with
the programs AT the Velodrome and
that is there are not enough long dis
lance races such as five and ten-mile
affairs and Australian pursuit races.
OF course, l like to watch a match
race, but the excitement only lasts for
the one lap that they sprint, while a
long race, with big field, is exciting
from start to finish. l noticed in your
column of last night that a fan sug-
gested Sunday night racing instead of
afternoon. He is probably a press
agent for the Motordrome people, who
undoubtedly would rather run races
on Sunday afternoon, provided there
was no competition on the other side.
Are Million and Chapman going to
run any long grinds this winter in
this vicinity?
Yours in sport,
A BIKE FAN.
Mr.. Million, who seems to be the
live WIRE at the Velodrome in these
days in which activity is so essential,
says that he and Mr.. Chapman ex-
pected to promote at least three six
day races during the winter months.
Maybe they will hold a six-day grind
in Newark One in Boston is also
planned and another in Toronto.
