LUTHER MCCARTHY
MASTERS PALzER
PaIzer Never Had a Chance And Took
An Awful Beating From Nc
Carty's Hands.

Los Angeles, CAL Jan. Luther
McCart, of Springfield, Mo-, shattered
the heavyweight championship ambi-
tons of Al Palzer, the Iowa giant, at
the Vernon arena today. For nearly
eighteen rounds he used the huge
frame of the Iowan as punching bag.
The middle of the eighteenth round
found Palzer staggering blindly about
under volley of lefts to his battered
face and when Referee Charles Eyton
hoisted the right hand of the smiling
cowboy pugilist the decision was re.
ceived with cheers.
McCarty's victory after his decisive
defeat three weeks ago of Jim Flynn
places him at the top of the list of
white heavyweights.
McCarty has announced and reiter-
ated the statement today that he
never would fight a negro.
Palzer in spite of his superior
height, weight and reach was no
match for the cool headed agil young.
ster. He literally stumbled through
the fight, assimiliating awful punish.
ment. His rushes were wholly ineffec-
tive. He landed very few clean blows
throughout the fight.
Palzer began the fight with an ag-
gressiveness that indicated desire
to finish his man in short order but
McCarty had little difficulty in elud-
ing him.
Only once Palzer appeared to have
an advantage. In one of the early
rounds McCarty slipped to the mat
and Palzer rushed in, launching a right
uppercut to catch the rising man but
McCarty ducked out of danger,
McCarty fought cleverly throughout
taking his time and beating down his
man Systematically. He seldom vast
ed blow and hit with deadly pre-
eision. Palzer had practically no de-
fense against the Missourian's whip
like left, delivered straight from the
shoulder, and seldom was he able to
block the right swing or uppercut
which invariably followed series of
straight lefts.
McCarty landed with an accuracy
that became monotonous. Palzer's
eyes were kept almost continually on
his manager, the veteran Tom
O'Rourke, who shouted instructions to
him through a megaphone. He ap-
peared to have no initiative whatever
ORourke's instructions were as audi
BILE to MeCarty as to Palzer and every
move of the Iowan was anticipated by
his foe.
Palzer's face was badly disfigured
and he showed the effects of his beat
ing even more than did McCarty's last
victim, the veteran Flynn
III inc cl6uleelltH IOuuQ GdlZ6T
walked unsteadily to the center of the
ring and literally fell into a left hook
that dazed him. He clung to McCar-
TVS shoulders and when they separ-
ated McCarty shot two lefts to the
jaw. McCarty, apparently unwilling
to administer the finishing punch,
backed away and the referee stopped
the fight. McCarty's only mark was
a cut under the right eye.
McCarty entered the ring at 2:54
after watching the last preliminary
from a ringside seat He was follow
ed by Palzer within a few moments.
Ringside betting appeared to favor
McCarty although offers of 10 to s
were greedily accepted by Palzer's
hackers. Most Of the heavy betting
was at even money,
Palzer's weight was announced at
227 and McCarty's 205.

The accident occurred Immediately
in front Of tie grand stand and the
crowd seated there knew that it was
a bad accident but it was some time
before those seated along the sides Of
the tent. realized that it was not part
OF the show
The coach had gone through that
stage OF the program where it is held
up by Indians who are then driven
of by the cowboys who came TO the
rescue of those IN the coach The
vehicle was drawn by six mules and
came down the stretch toward the
grand stand and had just rounded
tie corner nearest the public en-
trance to the tent when It struck a
rut and one of the rear wheels sud
denly dropped away from the coach,
allowing it to fall TO the ground
Being top heavy It turned complete
ly over and the passengers on top
were thrown off Those within the
vehicle were in the most precarious
condition. The mules i-iled to stop

Finn was one of those inside and

to walk along with the vehicle until

When the big audience realized that
a serious accident had occurred H.
arose as though one person with a
cry Of "Oh." Instantly the policemen
on euty around the tent employees
of the show and a number of men
IN the audience ran towards the coach
and quickly lifted the ponderous ap-
paratus from the body Of Mrs. Finn
who was the only one caught under
e. The audience by this time was
greatly excited and II required the
efforts of the cooler heads to pre-
vent a panic.
Dr. Cassidy gave first aid TO the
injured and shortly afterward the
police patrol was summoned and the
injured we're taken to the hospital
Harry Smith was driving the coach
and his wife. Mrs. Goldie Smith, was
on the seat beside him. On top Of
the coach was Jones. who was play

Probably no show that has been
in Wilmington in years met with so
many accidents and annoyances as
the one Just left SO many wheels
came off vehicles belonging to the

Vagrants. The work of the various

throughout the day very close to the

the retail price of which had risen
on the eve of Thanksgiving to 35
cents pound for the best grades and
25 to 30 cents pound for cold stor-
age fowls.
Although it had been predicted
that the arrivals Of poultry which
were larger than for several years,
would show that the turkey was
holding its own; the total receipts
are said to hover about 25 tons less
in turkey arrivals than in other
years.
According to retail dealers the
shortage is due to the fact that stor-
age warehouses are holding the birds
already killed for the Christmas and
New Year trade and the farmers are
keeping their stock for another
month so that the turkeys will be
fatter and command higher prices.
