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. 5c || 5c B Jan KkMwi Wr w xO i&TTwfl jKwH/ Wgigwl ' f wCW WilKw Delicious—Refreshing IN BOTTLES—ICE COLD AT THE GAME “Call the Boy With the Khaki Coat” ATLANTANS WINNING IN AUGUSTA TENNIS EVENT AUGUSTA, GA., June 29.—Atlantans are sweeping the local* tennis tourna ment clean.

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. VANDERBILT GETS GAME WITH HARVARD NOV. 16TH BOSTON.

Then Schweitzer drove out a home run and won for Memphis. Fleharty and Merritt both pitched greet ball, the local pftqher allowing seven and Fleharty five hits. Crandall's fielding was a feature of the game. 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 will JULY 3 ’ 4 DUBLIN, GA., June 29. —Preparations are about complete for the automobile meet to be held in Dublin on July 3 and 4.

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.

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. PEST OF CANADIAN TEAM GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE LONDON. June 29.—J. A.
