McCarty ha3 announced and reiter
ated the statement that he would
never fight a negro.
Palzer, in spite of his superior
height, weight and reach, was no
match for the cool-headed, agile
youngster. He literally stumbled
through the fight, assimilating awful
punishment, and his rushes were whol
ly ineffective. Ho scarcely landed a
clean blow throughout the fight.
Palzer began the fight with an ag
gressiveness that indicated a desire to
finish Iiis man in short order, but Mc
Carty had little difficulty in eluding
him.
Only enca Palzer appeared to have
an advantage. In one of the early
rounds McCarty slipped to tho mat.
Palzer rushed in, launching a right
uppercut to catch the rising man, but
McCarty ducked out of danger.
Nebraskan Clever Fighter.
McCarty fought cleverly throughout,
taking his time and beating down his
man systematically. He seldom wast
ed a blow and hit with deadly pre
cision. Palzer had practically no de
fense against the Nebraskan's whip
like left, delivered straight from the
shoulder, and seldom was he able to
block the right swing or uppercut,
which Invariably followed a series ot
straight lefts.
McCarty landed at will and with ar.
accuracy that became monotonous.
Palzer'a eyes were kept almost con
tinually on his manager, the veteran
Tom O'Rourke, who shouted instruc
tions to him through a megaphone.
He appeared to have no initiative
whatever. O'Rourke's instructions"
were as audible to McCarty as to Pal

anticipated by his foe.
