paid a short visit to Gotham, but he
didn't do any business over there.
AS a match for Klaus, Chip wouldn't
be given a look-in, yet he gave Frank
the only knockout of his career.
Strong as a bull and with an iron
Jaw, Klaus always felt that he was
immune as far as the K. o. punch
was concerned. In the heat of battle
he would hold out his jaw and allow
his opponent to peg away, and then,
all in O fury, he would come back at
his man and rifle him with blows that
seemed "killers." Klaus looked the
part of a champion in every way. yet
he didn't do such wonderful things
when YOU look back over his record.
He was a bull, but his vicious at
lacks didn't seem to bring down his
adversaries so decisively. Now that
he has been knocked out, he may fade
away entirely, just like so many
strong men have faded away in the
past.

Whenever good man is beaten by
a Sucker" as the boys call them,
there is always the cry that it was a
big mistake. A wall Is put up for a
return match, and the good man Is,
of course, made a strong favorite.
Well, it so happens, generally, that
when once man whips another man
very decisively, sucker" or no
sucker" he is just about likely to
repeat. 1t may not come to pass in
the case of Klaus and Chip, but that
will remain to be seen, for the men
are to meet again. Klaus, in being
knocked out, has encountered a big
setback, for he would have been a
most attractive card for the Garden
this winter. He was popular, too, over
in Paris, but now that he has been
beaten he will lose some of his pres
tige If he should defeat Chip in
their return match he would come
into his own again, but If Chip should
repeat, even in the way of securing
the decision, Klaus's goose would be
cooked

Al Palzer is another fighter whose
career was brought up with a sharp
jerk. Palzer really has himself to
blame for his downfall. He was a
bad boy in a good many ways. Worst
of all, he was conceited. He knew
little about the game, and refused to
follow the advice of others who
knew much about the game. He quit
Tom O'Rourke just at a most i'm.
portant period of his career, and he
came back to ORourke a sick man.
He was not in shape when he was
beaten by Luther McCarty, and the
long rest and the operations that fol-
lowed made a changed man of him.
Instead Of being able to stand up and
take the gaff. he crunched under
His one asset was to
take the best the other fellow had and
then come back and win. When he
do that any more, of course,
he couldn't win. He tried to come
back through Frank Moran, but he
lost, and he didn't do much better in
his bout with Charley Miller. The
final blow came when he was knocked
out by Dan Daily, one of the poorest
lighters in the white hope" con-
tingent. Now. Palzer is through. His
prospects were very bright, but he
was his own worst enemy. He
to false friends, just like so
many others have done, and now that
the crash is here he hasn't real
friend to defend him.

AS a winner, AL Reich looks like
the coming champion of the world.
When he fought Sailor White and
beat him, nice things were said about
him. Then came his fight with Carl
Morris, in which he showed the
white feather" by deliberately TAX
Ing the count of ten when in reality
he wasn't hurt. After that perfor-
nance it was surprising that Reich
should seek more honors in the ring,
but in his match last night with Tim
Logan, he again demonstrated that
he could fight If his heart only re-
NAMED In the right place. Now, to
beat Logan isn't such a wonderful
thing, but this same Logan has been
a trial horse around here for some
time past. He is a full-fiedged heavy
weight, and he is not q bad skate
at that. Reich, in beating Tim, win
get some prestige and he may get
along all right from now on. He has
been in the camp of Gunboat Smith
for a few weeks and he may be able
to improve his boxing and to
his heart. He is q picture
to look at and he is very clever for a
big fellow. He Is built like an Adonis
and he is almost too handsome to be
a fighter He hasn't anything else
to do just now, however, and that's
why he is in the game. He is honest
about himself and says he doesn't
know much and is not sure whether
he would be able to take much.
Judging from his bout with Morris.
mot much would seem to be his
limit.

Mike Gibbons sends word from his
home in st. Paul, Mimi, that he is
willing to meet Packy Mcfarland at
las pounds in New York. II that is so
and the match is made the fight fans
will have much to discuss for few
weeks at least. The question is
whether Gibbons can make las pounds
ringside. If he can and be strong,
a bout with Mcfarland should be the
