Complete Boxing Record of Both
Contestants for Worlds
hsa. HonorS.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. To-day either
ALBERT Palzer or Luther Mccarthy Will
be in the discard as possible holder Of
the worlds heavyweight ring title.
They meet in a twenty-round bout at
the Vernon arena, half an hours ride
knockout is expected to close the battle
long before its scheduled limit.
With the throng of fight fans Palzer
is a slight favorite, but the betting men
gre unwilling to give odds that he will
win. San Franciso's boxing enthusiasts
are ali for Palzer, but local men are in
clined to think that the Oklahoma cow
boy has a chance to put him to sleep
with that sturdy left hand of his.
Long before the hour for the opening
of the gates about the arena a large
throng had gathered. waiting for ad-
mittance. It was an orderly crowd,
though, and laughed and joked in the
bright sunlight until the ticket takers
were ready for business. Then they
made grand rush to their seats.
When Palzer arrived in motor car,
accompanied by his trainers and hand
lers, he was received with cheers by
the fans, many of whom insisted on
shaking his hand and wishing him sue
cess. Mccarthy eluded the fans by en-
tering at side gate.
Not So Much Coin.
Owing to the decrease in prices, the
boxers shares of the gate receipts will
not be as large as they were when
Rivers met Mandot here. The highest
price today is but SIS, the lowest 81 The
receipts win easily total $4,000.
Paizer. probably because of his fero-
cious appearance, Is supposed to be the
harder of the two men to drop. but
Mccarthy has shown California fans
that he has the punch. He dropped
Kaufman without any trouble whatever.
He hurt his left hand on Jim Flynn's
head and so was unable to finish him
before the sixteenth session came
around. But McCarthy's punches so
weakened the Pueblo fireman that he
was practically senseless from body
blows when the referee stopped the
mill.
Palzer came to the fore when he won
the white hope tourney in New York
in May. 1911. He had already stood on
Frank Moran. the Pittsburgh heavy
weight for ten rounds, but that tourney
