Bud Anderson has a real sound
alibi for his defeat at the hands OF
Leach Cross. He was sick boy when
he entered the ring, and this can be
proved from the fact that only Tues
day he was operated on for appendi-
citis. Reports of his condition from
the hospital at Los Angeles this
are very favorable. Ander-
sons friends now say that Cross was
simply lucky TO stack up against a
sick boy Anderson couldn't fight a
bit and he tired badly in the very
first round. He didn't fight up to his
previous form, ana the fact that he
was suffering from appendicitis is evil
dence that he might have done better
under healthier conditions. His career,
though, will be greatly hampered by
the operation. He may never show
his speed and his hitting power again.

@
Al Palzer, just as soon as he
finishes up the rest cure" course
which Tom O'Rourke, his manager
has mapped out for him. will go to
Paris where he will fight Georges
Carpenter, the Frenchman. That Is
about settled, for O'Rourke accept
ed terms for the match yesterday
and incidentally agreed to purse of
$4,000 for the battle. Although he
was beaten by Luther McCarty, Pal
ger is looked upon as the best white
hope" in the business His defeat at
the hands of McCarty was a big mis-
take according to O'Rourke.
"Al was in no shape to fight"
O'RourlIe said to me, and l blame
myself for allowing him to enter the
battle; but McCarty looked so easy
that Palzer insisted on going on with
the match. During the fight AL was
so weak he could hardly stand, but
McCarty couldn't put him out. Al
wasn't beaten by a long shot, and
the referee had no business to stor
the bout. He was bleeding and tired
but he could have continued until
the end" O'Rourke declared, but
he was a sick man going into the
ring"
@
Ever since the McCarty battle
o'Rourke has been nursing Palzei
along, in the hope that he would
eventually lure Jack Johnson into the
ring. But just at time when such
a proposition looked the most pro-
pitious Johnson gets himself so much
notoriety that he receives a pressing
invitation from the Jail authorities
and the bars. both in this country
and abroad, are put up against him
Now, the big Black" is out or
parole, and he is headed for the other
side of the water Soon Palzer will
be over there with him, first, though
to fight Carpenter, and, later on, ii
he wins, to meet Johnson, who Is
anxious to indulge in almost any kind
of combat, as he freely confesses
that he needs the money O'Rourke
and Palzer haven't had much luck in
their business dealings so far, but II
Tom succeeds in getting AL a match
with Johnson it is presumed that the
tide will then turn. AS to Palzer's
bout with CarpentierS the Yankee
man should find little difficulty In
disposing of the Frenchman, who is
still very young and who has been
given several hard beatings.

mind set for a fight with Johnson
