Wells is not in the class with

.Pa1zer sent a couple of heavy jo1ts
to Wells stomach, the latter wilt
ed.
Wells is too light for the pres
ent heavyweight game. In the
days of Fitzsimmons and Cor
bett, when the heavyweight seal
ed from 10 to 1870 pounds he
would have stood a better chance,
though not against the two men
mentioned. Now, with the heav-
les entering the ring at over 200
pounds, he is at a disadvantage.
A more finished fighter than
either McCarty or Willard Wells
would be worn down by their SUI
perior weight in the frequent
clinches. Give Wells Is pounds
more and his same speed and
punch, and the others would be
about as effective as the Illinois
primary law.
Jefries was always considered
a wonderful champion. He won
the title from Bob Fitzsimmons,
whom he outweighed Is pounds.
Twice he defeated Jim Corbett,
over whom he had about the same
advantage. Corbett was the bet
ter fighter. In one of the meet
ings it took Jeff q rounds to
turn the trick. Outboxed, actual
ly outfought, he managed to
weaken Corbett by hanging on
him in the clinches.
Wells and McCarty offer the
same comparison.

of the men are taken into CON
sideration. Wells was knocked
out by Al Palzer in three rounds.
Palzer was put away by McCarty
in Il rounds. There were no
flukes in either fight. That should
dispose of the claim that McCar-
ty is afraid of the meeting. The
new champion has a chance at
the soft theatrical money right
now, and would be foolish not to
grab it. The precedent has been
set by all title holders. When
the change refuses to jingle in the
