NEXT BOUT WITH WELLS

L SIec1al Inc NAanrgton
Los Angeles. Jan. ITO the victor
belongs the hurrahs.
1t was a sight for the gods to see
| Luther McCarty. the newly-crowned
heavyweight champion of the world,
standing up in his automobile outside
Promoter McCarey's town ONCE this
| morning and bowling with all the grav-
ity he could command TO the plaudits
of a crowd that stood ten deep around
his car. When 1t comes TO looking
grave or dignified, however, Luther is
| q rank failure. He likes the adulation
of the multitude too we'll to be able to
| conceal II. His face was wreathed in
smile OF delight as he bowed north,
east. south, and west to the cheering
thronG.
All this time Billy Mccartney. the
| white champions manager was inside
the office discussing the possibilities OF
| the future in the matchmaking line
with McCarey. Here is what Mccartney
had to say when he left the august
| presence:
Luther feels that he is entitled to
a rest, but at that he will not have
very restful time. We have had so
i many offers from theatrical agents
that we do not know which to accept.
| 1t is likely, though, that We Will open
at Hammerstein's In New York, where
a two weeks engagement at $500
week awaits US. There should be good
money for McCarty in the show bust
ness, as Luther does not have to de-
pend on a boxing act or a bag-punch-
ing turn to entertain an audience. He
is an adept at lariat twirling, sharp
shooting. and all that kind of thing.
and can 60 into towns where boxing
is barred and give an interesting per-
formance.
Next Match with Wells.
81 expect his next match viii be with
lBombardier Wells for the championship
of the world We will give Tom Nc
Carey the prefer ence II he will secure
Wells services McCarey has been espe-
cially good to US and we want to show
our appreciation. II the Wells McCarty
match is arranged for July McCarty
will be back here before very long. He
wants to put in the spring and summer
near Los Angeles and II would suit him
nicely. We have the July date with
Wells to look forward to-"
II Is very likely that McCarey will
place himself in communication with
Wells at the earliest opportunity.
McCarty had no facial bruises to speak
of as mementoes of his clash with Pal
ger, but his hands are in bad shape. The
left, which was none too well when he
entered the ring, did not suffer to the
same extent as the right The knuckles
of the latter are bruised and swollen,
and 1t will be many days before his Sun
day gloves will fit.
Scheme Il Good.
Mccartney thinks that the McCarey
scheme for sorting out the worlds
heavy-weights is a good one. He wants
1t distinctly understood, however. that
McCarty will never consent to signing
articles with a negro.
Palzer's face presents a battered as
pact, and the big Iowan is depressed In
spirit. He has not decided just what he
will do. The chances are that Manage:
o'Rourke will map out a programme fol
his protege within few days.
Palzer contends that two things contrib
uted materially to his defeat In the
first place, he seid, he needed at least an.
ether week to train. In the next. M
says, he was not allowed to box in hi.
accustomed style.
Said Palzer: They tried to make m,
lead and counter the way McCarty does
and it was big mistake. II / hat
fought Bombardier Wells the way
fought McCarty, Wells would have beat
en- me In very few rounds. / knew
that Wells was a clever fellow, and
made up my mind to either win or b,
licked inside of five rounds. i tore int
him and / won in the third round.
would like to get another match will
McCarty. and be allowed to fight in m,
own style"
Just at present there is small prospect.
/ of a return match between Luther ans
Il Al. It may be different later along q
McCarey's suggestions are carried out
