, being the main essence of a real pugis
list, this can be discounted
Al Palzer, in some respects, was
fighting instinct persOnified. He was
aggressive by nature and attack was
instinct with him. He was endowed
with a wonderful physique and if the
mere lust for battle counted for much,
Al would today be the greatest scrap
per in the world Instead, after his
tive or three years of preliminary ex-
perience here. he is stretched out
ready for embaIming, pugilistically, at
least. Dubs have stopped him.
Carl Was Game, Alright.
Then there's Carl Morris. It's a GUS
tom of the developer of fighters to
test the gameness of his prOtege. The
least display of yellow" and into the
discard goes the candidate for glory.
No man with yellow streak" could
ever hope to stand the gaff of a cham
piOnship campaign
Yet Carl Morris, who stood before
Jim Flynn until his face was twice its
normal size and until he himself had
taken a grUelliDS such as no modern
fighter has endured in Is years, has
failed to materialize in three years. He
is still just a sluggish, impossible
dub" apparently with no chance to
rise above mediOcrity. He, too, had
physique. But sheer gameness, the
first fighting quality, couldn't lift him
high.
It's the Head, After All.
On the other hand, Lutte McCarty,
who was the most promising of the
young heavyweights and who was
gaining prestige all the time up to
his death, was many times accused of
having the Ochre-tinted stripe in his
makeup; while ring followers are to-
day not sure whether worlds champion
Johnson is of tried courage.
It's the head, after all, that domi-
mates the heart in the ring and else
where. And the finest fighting instinct
in the world is not proof against a left
shift.
