The big fights tonight

billed to clash at the st. Nicholas
Club in New York in ten-round
bout and there is a keen interest over
the outcome.
AS a fight, it may be good and 1T
may be bad. Big fellows, as gem
eral rule are not consistent. On the
face of 1t, it should be a pretty good
battle. The other time they met the
bout was fast and hot and very even.
Both sides claimed the victory. Per-
haps it will be so after the contest
tonight, but on the best of advices
Palzer is believed to have the call
in the betting
The white hope" division is very
poor, and Palzer is just as good as
the next one. Before Luther McCarty
died he was considered the best man
among the heavies. Now, it seems to
be a question of Gunboat Smith and
AL Palzer, with Jess Willard given
a call. The outcome of the bout to-
night viii either make or break Pal
ger He must show we'll to be given
any further consideration. If he wins
in the right way, he will be hailed
as the new Allah" although in Mo-
ran he will not be beating much.
o
Personally I do not consider Palzer
any wonder. but he looks much better
than Moran. Even so, though, 1t
would not surprise me to see the men
fight like two old women for ten
rounds and then leave everybody up
in the air as to the winner. Neither
would it upset my judgment If Palzer
were to put up really commendable
battle and beat Moran, If not deci-
sively. at least thoroughly. For Mo
ran to come through a winner is
about the only thing that is unlocked
for in the contest.
g
Fighters. of all sporting characters,
are the worst ingrates in the world.
Bicycle riders are bad enough. base
ball players are $3.50. but fighters
take the bun. Young pugilists who,
in their own dim minds, are going to
set the world on fire. pass up the
men who made their careers possible,
at the very first favorable turn in
their affairs. 1t has been so for
years, and 1T will go on for ever
The hero worshipper will spend his
time and his coin to boost a struggling
scrapper and just as soon as the
scrapper gets over the struggling
stage he ceases to recognize the man
that brought him out. We might go
on and enumerate any number of
cases, but the latest one called toaour
attention has Young Weinert, fighter,
and Percy Woodruff, manager. as
central figures. AS everybody knows
Woodruff has been nursing Weinert
along for some time. He has got him
dollar or two for the manager in the
next few months to come, but just
at this juncture why the fighter gets
"huffy' and he runs away from the
manager.
@
Young Weinert is going away from
here and he is going to do his own
business for a while. He called at
the Evening Star office Saturday and
told a few of his troubles. He had
scrap with Woodruff, he said. and
he had made up his mind to take a
trip around the country. When he
came back. he said. he and Percy
would make up again. That's what
Weinert said, but we haven't heard
from Woodruff, who is not far be-
hind from Dan Morgan or Dan Nc
Ketrick in expressing his opinion. We
will hear from Percy, though, we
feel sure and his little say-so Is GER
tain to make most interesting read
ing. Weinert's destination is Chi
cago. ILL.,, but his first stop is Sche-
nectady, n. Y. He is to rough IL,
unaccompanied and when he comes
back he will be a good boy That all
depends, of course. If he comes back
broke, down and out, he will,
naturally, go straight to his old
friend and hacker, just as they all
do. But il Mr.. Young Weinert meets
with any material success he will
come back to town all swelled up and
forget he ever had a manager like
Percy Woodruff That has been the
case so often that it is worth taking
the chance Of calling the turn.

Bert Papp, the local boxer, is going
to take a few days rest. He injured
his hand in his bout with Jimmy Nc
Weigh and says he won't do any
more lighting until he is thoroughly
fit. Then he wants to meet McVeigh
in ten-round bout, the winner to
take all. Papp is his own manager
and his own press agent. and he
seems to get on pretty well, consider
ing. He admits he isn't clever, but
declares in a long, hard bout he will
outgame most boys in his class. As
to McVeigh, he says Jimmy is a light
jabber and Splinter, and he figures
that in ten rounds he could catch
him and beat him. Another thing,
Papp opines that the newspapers are
rather severe on him and that the
experts overlook him when he knows
that he is winner. To Papp we
would say that he gets along very
we'll for what he can do.
