athletic ability sufficient to hit
straight with lite lefi liaml.
Xo longe' do We 1.;.,- tlie
idea that a man of IT?, or ISO
pounds is good enough to cope with
the whales of the lieiivyw'eight di
vision at tlie present time. Time
was when a smashing good middle
weight with tin- wallop would lc
thought plenty good enough to
handle himself < oditalilv among
the cart horse- who trow infest the
upper range of the pugilistic scale.
No More Wonders in Sight.
But nature seems loath to giG
Us another Hob Fitzsimmons or an
other fttanley Ketcbel o, a Jack
Dempsey. I’liere may lie one in
embryo somewhere in this broad
land, but if there is he hasn't had a
pair of five-ounce gloves tied on
bis wri-ts yet.
Fitzsimmons taught us that a
man of 165 pounds was plenty big
enough to whip if he was onlj good
enough. Ketchel. with his wallop
and unmistakable gameness, could
whip 9D per cent, of the big fellows
who posed as first-elass fighters.
Perliaps you recall that Jack
Dempsey at his best never weighed
over 14S pounds, and like Ketehel
was infinitely better than most of
tile heavyweights of his day—the
"good old days" those were, too, in
which, we an- told, the lighters
were twice as good as they are to
day. This little myth has been
passed around for years by the
old-timers. It is just a pleasant
little fable and nothing mojie.
Must Go Over 200 Now.
Xo'v. when a manager springs a
white hope lie has got to show that
his man goes over 2nfi pounds, and
tlie farther over it the better, in
order to get any attention at all.
Perhaps this fashion was s"t when
Jim Jeffries with his tremendous
proportions rather shook ring prec
edent In plowing through all Hie
heavies, big and little, including
tlie mighty Fitzsimmons, and scat
tered the remains in a long, devas
tated path. The man who finally
whipped Jeffries was another mam
moth, and after that it was a cer
tainty that the ''coming champion"
had to be a whale. Tlie pond was
not lit longer for the perch or tin
minnows.
McCarty Like Jeffries.
AJeCarty, tlie coast fans think,
looks more like Jeffries than any
man they have seen in action since
tlie day of the hairy one. Hence,
they like McCarty. In addition he
can fight, which tightens it up not
a little.
But wait until they see this other
whale. Al Palzer. start tearing off
the swings. He is the real wild
man., the'hairy terror of the world.
