EAGER FOR FRAY
Palzer Anxious to Beat Moran
and Then Tackle
"GunbOat."
SAYS SMITH is AFRAID

Manager Jimmy Johnston, of the
St. Nicholas A. c., New York, says
he has booked the biggest boxing
attraction that has been given in the
East since last winter in the Palzer-
Moran match, to take place Wednes-
day, September 3.
According to Johnston Palzer is as
good an attraction in the tight line
as there is in the United States, es-
pecially since his proposed matcn
with Gunboat Smith fell through.
Agreeing that Palzer is all that Is
claimed for him and that O'Rourkes
reports about his Ossian giant are
true, there are some very wise ham
dicappers who believe that Palzer
has the tryout of his career when he
meets Frank Moran.
Moran says he fought Gunbout
Smith in California a few months
ago against the advice of his doctor.
At that Moran went twenty rounds,
and, while Smith was given the de-
cision, several sporting writer's said
the victory was very narrow one.
Moran claims that he was promised
another match, but that Buckley has
been stalling him off and took on
Coffey and Flynn instead. Moran
shortly after the fight with Smith
had a contest with Palzer in Brook
Ign, many of the newspaper men
giving the Pittsburgh. man the de-
cision, and he followed it UP with a
ten-round draw with Luther Nc
Carly at the st. Nicholas Rink. Pal
Ter has not had fight in some time,
but he has been watched in his pres.
ent training and favorable reports
are at hand.
Word was received from Los An
geles last night that the bout between
Leach Cross and Joe Rivers, set for
Labor Day, has been postponed until
September 9. Rivers was taken sick
while training and asked that the
battle be set back a week in order to
give him time to recuperate. Cross at
once agreed.
Three ten-round bouts will be the
attraction at the Atlantic Garden
Athletic Club, New York, tonight. In
the main contest Jimmy Lambert will
face Jimmy Fasane. In the semi
final Mike Clancy will take on KID
Goodman. The opening match will
be between young" Gloughery and
Billy Mayors.
Danny Ridge, the New York light
weight, was entitled to the decision
over iii III tuelT len-TOu0u
bout at the Military A. c., Brooklyn,
last night.
A dispatch from Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien states that Young Jack
O'Brien is matched to box Ray Camp
bell at Seattle on Friday September
5, ten rounds.
Buck Krouse, of Pittsburgh, lost his
6nht xxritI Tonlx O,.tn Tofh
champion, at Panama on Sunday at
ernoon by a foul in the first round.
The crowd present claimed that the
affair was fake and small riot fol- =
lowed. The principals were arrested
and the box office receipts seized.
Bert Papp, of this city, is scheduled
to box Jimmy McVeigh in the star
bout at the Central Institute next
Monday night. Papp is matched to
meet Battling Nelson at Bridgeport,
Conn, on August 28, and Joe Fergu-
son, at Glen Falls, N. Y, on Labor
Day.
