His Decisive Victory Over Pal
zer Makes Him Idol of
: the Hour.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 2.-Luthel
McCarty, who yesterday defeated A
Palzer for the so-called white heavy.
weight championship of the world
after few days rest will leave fol
the East.
For nearly eighteen rounds Luther
used the huge frame of the Iowan as
a punching bag in the Vernon arena
The middle of the eighteenth found
Palzer staggering blindly about
8 under volley of lefts to his battered
face, and when Referee Charles Ety.
ton walked between the men and
hoisted the right hand of the smiling
cowboy pugilist the decision was re-
ceived with cheers.
McCartys victory, following his de-
cisive defeat three weeks ago of jim
Flynn, places him at the top of the
/ aiet Of white heavyWeights. McCarty
has announced, and reiterated tbs
statement yesterday, that he would
never fight negro.
Palzer, in spite of his superior
height, weight and reach, was nc
match for the cool-headed, agile
youngster. He literally stumbled
through the fight, assimilating awful
.punishment, and his rushes were
wholly ineffective. He scarcely landed
y clean blow throughout the fight.
Palzer began the fight with an ag-
gressiveness that indicated desire
10 finish his man in short order, but
McCarty had little difficulty in elud-
Ing him.
81 Only once Palzer appeared to have
an advantage. In one of the early
.rounds McCarty slipped to the mat
Palzer rushed in, launching right
uppercut to catch the rising man, but
McCarty ducked out of danger.
n McCarty fought cleverly through.
out, taking his time and beating dowr
his man systematically. He seldom
wasted a blow, and hit with deadly
precision. Palzer had practically nc
riefense against the Missourian's
whiplike left, delivered straight from
the shoulder, and seldom was he able
to block the right swing or uppercui
(which invariably followed a series OF
straight lefts.
3 McCarty landed at will and with an
accuracy that became monotonous.
Palzers eyes were kept almost con-
Il tinually on his manager, the veteran
y Tom O'Rourke, who shouted instruc-
tions to him through a megaphone
He appeared to have no initiative
whatever O'Rourkes instructions
were as audible to McCarty as to
PaIzer, 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 mccarthy s
last victim, Jim Flynn.
In the eighteenth round Palzer

the second PADDY came up from the
floor with his swing. Kurtz started
to push Sullivan's head back with the
heel of his glove and the handlers
of the New York boy interposed with
objections and Referee Eddie Wood
gave a word of caution to Kurtz.
Sullivan was successful in his effort
to land right and left opening the
third round and Kurtz was forced
to the ropes, returning compliments
with his left and started working a
jab which had Sullivan's head bob
bling. Paddy tried to get near. and
with short right backed kurtz. The
latter resorted to jabbing again and
Sullivan tried to equal his work along
the same lines. Kurtz did consider
able leading toward the close.
The succeeding rounds gave Kurtz
added courage and he tried for the
finishing blow, which Sullivan care
fully avoided and did not shine in
his effort to slow the local boy. They
exchanged rights in part of the fifth,
went to clinching and finished the
affair trying for honors with wide
swings.

the ring in the seventeenth round of

ply yesterday. Burns had been beaten
almost insensible and his face had
lost it's contour.

knocked Burns out with right and
left punches to the jaw, and Burns
was carried to his corner. When the
bell rang for the start of the seven
tenth Burns tottered from his seat.

Fighting at a gait which did not
make for additional weight any to his
pugilistic fame, Paddy sullivan, from
Manhattan, finished on the short end
in his bout with Young Kurtz yes
terday afternoon at the Hillside A.
Neither showed any startling form.
The bout went six rounds Many
came expecting the affair was carded
for ten, and the announcer in glow
ing terms placed the blame for any
misapprehensions on the newspapers.
Kurtz combed for openings from
the second round on. He used his
short right hook with success and on
several occasions made the visitor
look awkward seeking cover, but he
was unable to uncover any blow that
would stop Sullivan. Twice Sullivan
came to the fore with flash, his
right having enough force once to
drive the local chap to the ropes, and
the second spun him in top fashion.
Kurtz tried in vain to connect with
an uppercut as Sullivan backed
away from an embrace, but his eff
forts went wild. His best in trade
was the right hook and the marked
face of Sullivan at taps showed its
worth. He changed to straight
right to the wind also, but did not
start with it early enough to cause
the New Yorker to fly distress signals.
1t was the effort of Sullivan TO
keep distance from the right of the
local boy which caused his efforts to
look slow in comparison, and when
he did start Kurtz was able to glide
back and the swings did not connect.
but the one occasion when the right
swing of Sullivan found a target
brought the fans up and they looked
for Paddy to continue. Kurtz recov-
cred quickly, however, and worked
in for more.
The first round was devoted to
sparring and frequent clinching. and
it was a hit and hug struggle
