athletic ability sufficient to hit
straight with the left hand.
. No longer do we ever hear tne
idea that a man of 175 or 180
pounds Is good enough to cope with
the whales of the heavyweight di
vision at the present time.' Time
was when a smashing good middle
weight with the wallop would be
thought plenty good enough to
handle himself creditably among
the cart horses who now infest the
upper range of the pugilistic scale.
No More Wonders in Sight.
But nature seems loath to give
us another Bob Fitzsimmons or an
other Stanley Ketchel or a Jack
Dempsey. There may be one in
embryo somewhere in this broad
land, but if there is he hasn't had a
pair of five-ounce gloves tied on
his wrists yet.
Fitzsimmons taught us that a
man of 165 pounds was plenty big
enough to whip If he was only' good
enough. Ketchel, with his wallop
and unmistakable gameness, could
whip 90 per cent of the big fellows
who posed as first-class fighters. ,
Perhaps you recall that Jack
Dempsey at his best, never weighed
over 148 pounds, and like Ketchel
was infinitely better than most of
the heavyweights of his day—the
“good old days” those were, too, in
which, we are told, the fighters
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 more.
Must Go Over 200 Now.
Now. when a manager springs a
white hope he has got to show that
bis man goes over 200 pounds, and
the farther over it the better, in
order to get any attention at all.
Perhaps this fashion was set when
Jim Jeffries with his tremendous
proportions rather shook ring prec
edent by plowing through all the
heavies, big and little, Including
the mighty Fitzsimmons, and scat
tered the remains in a long, devas
tated path. The man who finally
whipped Jeffries was another mam
mot'i, and after that it was a cer
tainty that the “coming champion”
had to be a whale. The pond was
not fit longer for the perch or the
minnows.
McCarty Like Jeffries.
McCarty, the coast fans think,
looks more like Jeffries than any
man they have seen in action since
the 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
v hale. Ai Palzer, start tearing off
the swings. He is the real wild
man, the hairy terror of the world.

In appearance Palzer looks like the
first photographs taken of Terry
McGovern placed under a strong
magnifying glass. Palzer is a blond
fellow with a jav that is as square
as an oyster can.
There won't be such an awful
difference in tlie weights of these
men. but Palzer impresses us as
having much the greater power,
while McCarty has it on plentifully
in the matter of skill and speed.
Can McCarty Hit?
McCarty hit Flynn a thousand
times di’- so before he was able to
bring the tough fireman, down to
defeat. Palter can stand as much
walloping as Flynn, that's almost a
foregone conclusion.-because he is
a fresh, vigorous’ young fellow,
while Flynn, 'with' his 33 years and
ids astonishing record of tough
fights, was wangLout ami about
ready for the scrap heap.
Verily, the seismographs of the
world will' be jarred to their foun
dations when this pair clash in Los
Angeles New Yem's day.

federation had cancelled the membership
of the players on the Post Athletic team,
rims automatically throwing tha' t.-um
I out of the league. This reduces the Ful

j The Georgia Athletic club was voted out

; a true athletic club, but that it was a
locker club.
The Georgia Atheltic club is the team
that tailed to put in its appearance one
night for a regularly scheduled game,
which caused much unfavorable comment
and was believed by the league officials
to he a serious blow to the league, as
the forfeiting of games is something usu
