WELLS KNOCKED
OUTBYPALZER
IN FURIOUS GO
NEW YORK, June 29—Fighting
with the desperation of despair, with
his backers’ hopes nearly dead, Al Fal
ser, of lowa, knocked out Bombardier
Wells, champion English heavyweight,
in the third round of what was sched
uled to be a ten-round bout ht Madi
son Square Garden last night.
The finish came with a left-hand
hook to the pit of the stomach while
the men stood at close quarters. Wells
had been previously knocked down
twice in succession and the third knock
down finished him.
Jim Maloney, trainer and adviser of
Wells, seeing Wells stretched helpless
ly on his back, threw up the sponge
just as Referee Billy Joh had called
out "ten.” In the short space of three
rounds was crowded action of the su
preme kind.
Wells Started Strong.
The tide of fortune changed not
only with each round, but with each
second of fighting. Wells was easily
the master in the first round and had
Palzer so badly battered and damaged
that It seemed the English titleholder
would easily win. But his vital forces
were sapped by his strenuous work in
the first session, and Palzer, the “cave
man.” wore down his adversary and
beat him into a senseless mass of hu
manity..
Wells began in fine style. His clever
ness as a boxer soon become apparent.
Every time that Palzer rushed at him
in the opening round Wells drove lefts
and rights to his face with stinging
force. The Englishman soon had Pal
zer’s lips .cut and bleeding.
After being knocked down in the first
Palzer just had sense enough to clinch
and last out the round.
American Had the Grit.
Bets were freely offered that he
would not last through the second
round, but the American's gameness
and desperate attack carried the day
for him.
Animated by the desire to win by a
knockout so that he could challenge
Jack Johnson, Palzer started in to fin
ish Wells in the third session. Palze'
realized that in order to win he had
to knock out Wells, for the English
man was outpointing him by a mile.
Palzer changed his mode of attack.
He had been unsuccessful in trying to
land on Bombardier’s face. So he closed
right in with wild wollops and finally
counted with a series of near-haymak
ers.
Both Men Were Tired.
Both men were practically dead on their
feet before the coup de grace came along.
It was a toss-up which would last the
longer , and Palzer's superior strength
gave him the victory.
Wells was clever while he lasted. His
horizon of attack was a broad arc extend
ing nearly around the ring. He circled
Palzer, shooting, over hard left hooks and
right crosses to the face. Never once,
did he try for Palzer's stomach. Palzer
kept boring in all the time, even when he
was weak and dazed during the first
round.
Tom O'Rourke, the erstwhile manager
of Palzer. showed how bis feelings to
ward Palzer had changed bj repeatedly
calling to Wells during the battle to use
a tg'it hook.
<■ estimated receipts of the house
were $17,000.
’file crowd came early, but it was not
great, not more than 8.000 being present
before the bout was called.

SHILLING GOES ABROAD
TO RIDE FOR HILDRETH
LATONIO, KY, June 29.—Jockey
Carroll Shilling, who has been drawing
a salary of $1,200 a month as stable
rider for H. C. Hallenbeck, the mil
lionaire Eastern turfman, is likely
never to be seen in the saddle on Amer
ican turf again. From an authorita
tive source it is understood that Sam
Hildreth, the real contract holder on
Shilling, has ordered the "Texas Whirl
wind” to proceed to France immedi
ately. there to ride for the stable which
Hildreth is now training.
James McCormick, the man who won
so many purses for the racing firm that
does business under the title of C.
Woodford & Co. during the past win
ter and spring, but who for years was
Hildreth’s stable foreman, is also going
abroad to join Hildreth.
While no positive statement has been
made, it is understood that R. F. Car
man. disgusted with conditions as they
exist hereabouts, will also join the ex
odus of Americans to France. The
withdrawal of Mr. Carman's support Is
one of the most severe blows the Amer
ican turf has so far received. He is one
of those sportsmen who refused to
fatten their purses at the expense of
the public and for that reason incurred
the animosity as certain "sure thing"
operators at Larnnia.
Mr. Carman demanded an explana
tion from Judge Price and when it
was not forthcoming decided to boycott
Latonia in future until a more popular
man w as placed in charge of the judge's
stand.
NO EASTERN STARS IN
SOUTHERN TOURNAMENT
They get away at East Lake Monday
afternoon in the annual Southern ten
nis championship. The draw Ing will be
held Monday morning in the town club
and play will begin in the afternoon at
the country club.
Unless some star player from the
East turns up at the last moment,
there will be a strictly Southern tinge
to the affair. Thus far no Eastern stars
have been entered and no entries are
expected except by Southern players.
Tit re v.ill doubtless be many strong
teams from Southern cities. One of
the best will be the Charles Rogers-
Robert Cowan combination from
Knoxville. Another good one, and one
that is entirely new in Atlanta, will be
Brooks and Bailey, of Birmingham. The
usual delegations are expected from
Nashville. Memphis. New Orleans, Au
gusta and Macon.

CORNELL CREWS
HL MARVELOUS,
SAYS C.S. TITUS
By CONSTANCE S. TITUS,
World's Foremost Amateur Oarsman.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y„ June 29.
I bad a very good look today at
Cornell, Syracuse, Wisconsin and
the Pennsylvania crews, and 1 saw Co
lumbia at a far distance: also Stan
ford, and I must gay all the crews have
improved more than Cornell. Very lit
tle improvement could have been made
in the Ithacan crews, excepting the
freshmen. When they are rowing at
a very low stroke they do not seem to
be as smooth in action as the others.
Cornell varsity eight 1s as hearty per.
feet as Courtney or anybody else could
get them, and his four-oared shell trav
els along very nicely. In fact, this
morning when I was out with him in
his launch he did not speak three words
to his crews. That shows on the face
of it that he is satisfied with their
work, and it certainly was a treat to
go out in his launch and watch his
crews at close range.
Cornell Rows Smoothly.
The Ithacans do not stop between
strokes. They row as smoothly as a
launch, traveling all the time, and the
beauty of it is Courtney’s men do not
seem to be exerting themselves —they
row with such ease and perfection and
apply the power all at once.
The catch is perfect. Courtney told
them to suit themselves and paddle
down as far as they wanted and turn
around. They must have rowed down
the river four miles easily, and at
times they struck raw water and they
went over it in great shape without a
splash.
Os course, the men who do not un
derstand rowing tvould imagine that
they were not working hard, but I was
on the float when they returned, and
every man was wringing wet with per
spiration, yet they were all as fresh as
daisies, and as happy as larks. In fact,
everybody seems to be happy and con
tented and in good humor around Cor
nell’s quarters. Keep an eye on the
three Cornell crews.
Columbia Crew Powerful.
It is true. Janies Rice, coach of Co
lumbia, has a very powerful and game
crew and will take a good deal of beat
ing. Their watermanship has improved
since the last time I saw them, but
they are not. as smooth and clever as
the Cornell men. but they are certainly
a great crew. Os course. James Rice's
men have a longer body swing than
Courtney's, which is very noticeable,
but Cornell’s men seem to pull the
stroke through farther than Columbia
does, and it is no question that both of
these crews can go the route. It will be
a hammer-and-tongs race between
these two for the first position.
But we must not forget James Ten
Eyck, of Syracuse. His crew is not
rushing the slide as much as they used
to, and they have Improved greatly
since they arrived at Poughkeepsie.
PIRATES SORE BECAUSE
C» MURPHY STUNG ’EM
PITTSBURG, PA., June 29.—Officials
of the Pittsburg club are frankly angry
over what they call a. r ar: deal given
to them by President Murphy, of the
Chicago Cubs. They claim that the
Chicago team traded Hofman tn them
when Mr. Murphy knew that the tali
outfielder was in no shape to play and
would probably be out of it for the re
mainder of the season at least.
AUTO RACES AT DUBLIN

Nearly 75 entries have already been re

The last puzzle picture in The Atlanta
Georgian’s $16,000 Proverb Contest will be pub
lished in The Georgian Wednesday, July 3.
Thereafter during a period of ten days, the
contest will remain open.
All sets of solutions, in order to be con
sidered, must be brought, or sent, to the Con
test Department. No. 20 E. Alabama St., by
noon July 13.
Sets that are sent by mail will receive con
sideration if they bear postmarks prior to
that hour on that date.
The back numbers of the puzzle pictures
and answer blanks will continue to be dis
tributed for the benefit of those who wish to
enter the contest now, or after the last pic
ture is published, when a full set of the back
numbers may be had.
Orders for full set of back numbers may be
placed now at the Contest Department and will
be Ailed when the final one of the seventy
five puzzles has been printed- in The Georgian.
The cost of a complete set will be. $1.50.
If preferred, we will send a copy of the An
swer Book, containing the first fifty pictures
and back numbers of the last twenty-five pic
tures ready for insertion in the Answer
Book. But this preference must be stated by
contestants when sending in the order.
STILB OPEN TO ALL.
This leaves the impressive opportunities of
this fascinating contest still open to all. And
everyone who has thus far failed to accept
these opportunities is invited to participate.
The back numbers njay be had at the reg
ular rates of The Dally Georgian for the days
on which the puzzle originally appeared-—3
cents per copy.
To obtain a. full set of them is to place your
self in line for the winning of $2,000 In cash,
a handsome automobile, piano, or other of the
useful and beautiful prizes named In the prize
list that appears as part, of this announce
ment.
TIME-SAVING PLAN.
Back numbers carry a great time-saving ad
vantage. which is so attractive to the busy man
or woman and to those who grow impatient
of long suspense, when such rich prizes are
at stake.
Here is a chance to get all the seventy
five puzzles solved and to get quick judgment
on your solutions, w ithout sacrificing one lota
of advantage. The time of entry makes abso
lutely no difference from the point of view of
the judges until the Contest Department closes
at noon July 13.
The judges, whose names will be announced
within a few days, wdll work with all possible
rapidity that is consistent with complete fair
ness, and the announcement of the awards of
the prizes, together with the correct solutions
of the puzzle pictures, will he published in The
Georgian at the earliest possible date.
TO GET QUICK ACTION.
Contestants who enter now will get quick ac
tion in the contest. Moreover, they will find
aid and encouragement in the Proverb Book,
which may still be obtained, and which con
tains all the proverbs that are represented by
the puzzle pictures in the contest.
This useful book—especially useful to those
who wish to solve the pictures in a short
time—ls in stock at the Contest Department,
at 20 E. Alabama St. It is sold at 25 cents a
copy. By mail, 30 cents.
It is again urged upon all contestants and
prospective contestants that they preserve a
list of the solutions which they send In. This
will save a great deal of unnecessary labor and
av.ert misunderstanding at the close of the con
test. It sometimes happens In a competition
of this nature, running through a good many
weeks, that contestants forget just what an
swers they did give to certain puzzles. When
they see the list of correct answers In the pa
per they are inclined to believe that they an
swered them all that way. And, If thtey receive
a prize not as high on the list as they ex
pected, they very reasonably ask to have their
answers reviewed. This entails untold trou
ble at the Contest Department, and the simple
plan of saving lists of your solutions will cut
that trouble down to a minimum.
OBSERVE THE RULES
Contestants In arranging and submitting
their sets of solutions should observe carefully
the few, but important, rules of the contest.
Each set submitted will be judged by itself,
and. therefore, if you are sending in three sets
you' should be careful to have them distinctly
separate. If they are sent In a .-ingle box or
package. they should be so arranged so as to
make it impossible for solutions from one set to
get mixed with solutions from another. Os
course, if you use the Answer Book you will
not need to concern yourself about this, as the
answer spaces in its pages provide the means of
sending in three sets of answ'ers that can not
become lost from each other, yet can be judged
separately.
Be careful not to violate rhe rule against,
sending in solutions in list form. They must
b“ In coupon form, and that form, if made by
the contestant himself, should follow, as nearly
as possible, the one printed each day in The
Georgian.
Have all solutions as neat as possible. Neat
ness is a consideration in awarding the prizes.
B? writing clearly and carefully you will save
a great amount, of work for the judges, but
rvery set submitted will receive painstaking
consideration. The last set submitted will re
ceive as careful consideration as the first one.
Tim conditions of the contest, reprinted to
day as part of this announcement, give all the
Information that is needed to become a suc
cessful contestant. Read the conditions care
fully before sending Iti your sets.
