By Ed. Curly.
NEW YORK. Max 24. Al Pal

urif of our best little “white
hopes.’' and consul* red to be John
son's next opponent, declared yow
terday that he had broken away
from the ma nag* inmt of Tom
C »'R ourke
The latter said that Palzer may
Bant io break away, but “when one
has a five-year contract on a man’s
services the man will And it hard
to cut away the bond.
O'Rourke went further and an
nounced that if Palzer engaged in
any fights or signed up with anv
other manager he (O’Rourke)
would enjoin both the club and the
manager and prevent an\ contem
plated matches.
Now that Palz< r has rushed into
print and turned mose all pie
abuse he could possible think of.”
said fi’Kourke \»-sierday. “I wish to
pass a few remarks Paiz* r didn’t
know th*- rudiments «»f boxing un
til I took him in band. Eor four
months I had competent men box
with him and then launched him
forth up"n the pugilistic world.
Here is m»w a veritable i> ro a< -
claimed as a miner, I took him on
tour and lie mad* money and
a< uieved nation-wide publicity.
\\ hen he says I took advantage of
him in a financial manner he de
liberately falsities. <>f his flglits
around hen, the only recompense
1 it eived was in the Kaufman af
fair The others wer» not large
enough to split. As foi his tour he
receivtd tarry dollar that he was
entitled to.
“Th* only reason the trip was
ended abruptly was th.it Palzer
was unable to make a creditable
showing As to me not allowing
■him to light, all 1 can say is that
he made more money on the road

forgets that he was as good as
matched with Bombadier Wells,
from which tight he would draw'
down a fat share. Again arrange
ments were practically eoncitjded
for a meeting between Palzer and
Luther McCarthy, the man that
knocked out Morris. Palzer is
money mad. My contract is bind
ing and hr- can not break away
through any possible manner."
Regarding O'Rourke's statement,
it must be said in all fineness that
his clever handling of Palzer
brought the/latter to the front.
Hardly one of the present crop of
managers would waste time or
money on a novice, as Palzer was.
Fighters are very hard people to
manage. They fail to realize that
a well made match Is half the bat
tle and consider themselves the
w hole show. If Palzer sticks to his
threat lie will have a difficult time
In picking up a man that will send
him along as w ell as O'Rourke.

Packey’s Success Marvellous;
Rich as Any World’s Champion
By 11. M. Walker.
PACKEY MFARLAND is a
Queensberry guerrilla. The
slock yards chap wages an
irregular sort of a war upon the
boxers w ithin his reach. While do
ing so he is accomplishing much
that should cause his rivals to stop
and think.
Handicapped by a natural weight
that Is prohibitive to his engaging
in championship contests, McFar
land grabs at every match offered
him between the light and welter
weight limits.
His success has been little short
of marvelous. Since he started
boxing in 1904 the best that an op
ponent has been able to get with
him has been a draw decision, and
those tie affairs hg_ve been few and
far between. In nine cases out of
ten McFarland has either knocked
out his man or finished so far out
in front that there could be no
question concerning the decision.
Fought More Than 75 Times.
Up to date Packey has engaged
in more than 75 ring battles and
at the rate of speed he is main
taining the Chicagoan will hang up
one of the longest records in the
history of the game.

What is more to the point, Packey
is earning money at a rate never
equaled by any one short of a title
holder. While the champions are
haggling over "guarantees' and
“bonus bits" this clever fellow is
accepting every chance that offers.
He boxes in New York one night,
Philadelphia two days later and
then jumps to Dayton, South Bend
or some other such, point, sweeping
in the dollars as he goes.
Today McFarland is one of the
richest boys handling the gloves.
He appears to improve with every
appearance, and is a better draw
ing card in New York right nojy
than is any one of the world s
champions.
When Packey whipped YounjLe*— 4(
Erne in Philadelphia the other
night he scaled in at 138 pounds at
3 o'clock. This is his best
but he is willing io steam down to
135 for Woigast. If the match ever
matures at this notch 1 fear it will
be a bad —very bad—day for the
lightweight champion.

JOE RIVERS made a popular hit

The Mexican's ring reputation was

to a point where he has been
matched with a world's champion
lias made him an object of national
interest in boxing circles.

Frankie win their bets. Technical

out to Jack's credit.
