Champion McCarty's Work
Surprises Fight Experts
Adverse Criticism Failed to Discourage the MissOurian
Who Determined to Wear the Heavyweight Crown;
He viii Meet ALI Corners Among White
Men For the Championship Title.
CBy Thomas 5. Andrews.)

Hats off to the new heavyweight
champion Of America-Luther McCarty,
Of Springfield, Mo. By his decisive de-
feat of Al Palzer. the Iowa farmer, in
demonstrated beyond all doubt that
he is a real champion and a fighter
Of greater class than the critics would
give him credit for a month ago. In
stead of standing toe to toe with Pal
ger and smuggling, Luther fought n
clever battle, using his left jabs with
splendid effect and only bringing his
right crosses into play when he felt
sure he had gagged his opponent. He
not only used his noodle" but he
mixed at the proper time and showed
that he possessed all the instincts of
a high class fighter. The fact that he
came out Of the terrific encounter
with merely a scratch over his eve,
shows that he had his opponent at his
mercy after the contest had gotten
under way. For three rounds McCarty
simply boxed his man, feeling him out
and trying to get q gage of his style.
Once be had him sized up he cut loose
and there was not a round after that
until the end that did not belong TO
Mac He could have put the Iowa man
out in the 18th round had he desired,
but he showed his true feeling by de-
cIining to hit the man who was beaten
and asked the referee to stop the con-
test and save him further punishment.
Palzer had the longer reach, was the
taller man ana the heavier, DuL Qe5-
pite these advantages. he was never
in the chase with McCarty. The lat
ter is the nearest approach to James
J. Jeffries Chat is the Jeffries Of old
and when he was right than any
heavyweight developed the past 10
years He owes much of his success,
in fact all of it. to his clever manager,
Billy Mccartney, who took him from
the mere novice class and made a high
class boxer and fighter of him. Nc
Carney has come out with very SEN
sible statement in which he says he
viii match McCarty against all legiti-
mate claimants to the heavyweight
title, but he wants it understood that
the color line is drawn and that no
black man will be given a chance to
compete against the white man for the
championship.
He will give Palzer another match
after meeting other challengerS, and il
is safe to say there will be many chal-
lengers now, but first OF all he wants
to make a match with the champion of
Great Britain, Bombardier Wells, and
fight for the worlds championship.
Tom McCarey, true to his word. pre-
scented McCarty with a handsome belt,
emblematic of the heavyweight cham
pionship, the understanding being that
it must be fought for between white
men only.
McCarty has been recognized by all
the critics as the champion and he viii

Helpful Thoughts Based on Judge
Fricke's Philosophy.
The Neal Treatment Knocks Out the
Poison Responsible for Excessive
Drinking.
If the fellow who IS rated as a
drunkard will fight of the desire for the
first drink he viii become a sober man"
Desire for drink is what every ex-
eessive drinker has to fight. For the
great majority, it is a losing fight
Craving desire for liquor in nine cases
out of ten overeomes viii power and
knocks out good intentions. This gnaw-
inc. resistless desire for liquor felt by
ali victims of the drink habit IS caused
bv the accumulated poison Of alcohol
which is in their systems poison that
more drink can but temporarily satisfy.
There Is one sure way to neutralize
and eliminate this alcoholic poison The
Neal Treatment does 1t and in three
brief DAYS. With this poison gone, all
desire for drink is gone. This is the
happy result no matter how long and
firmly fixed the habit. Thousands OF
confirmed drinkers have taken the Neal
treatment and had desire for liquor
quickly changed into dislike for every
thing alcoholic.
