PALZER IS CHOICE. 10-9.

IN FIGHT WITH i'CARTY

First Break in Betting Follows Blond

Iowa Giant's Training Camp Display.

Los Angeles, Dec. 26. Those who bet upon the results of prize ring contests hereabouts are lining up strongly on the Al Falzer side of the New Year's day battle and the effect was felt today when the first break in the odds was noted. Palzer is now a sltght favorite at 10 to 9. Reports from Palzer's camp that he was suffering from biliousness, cllmatitls, boils and a lot of other Ills that he never knew existed, made the betting slow and uncertain until with in the last few days, when the big fellow began to show splendid form. A gala performance was held at each camp yesterday. An audience of probably 1,200 swarmed in and around Doyle camp, where Palzer is training. Palzer used his trio of sparring mates for three rounds each. At Venice, McCarty wound up his day's work by romping through twelve rounds of boxing with, six big men, each sparring partner 'giving him a two-round workout. Palzer's estimate of his prospective HECHE' MOIL, BADGER STAR. DIES JF TYPHOID Famous Football Player and Coach at Purdue Succumbs in Hospital. Madison, Wis.. Dec 26. John E. Moll, familiarly known about the University of Wisconsin campus as "Keckle" Moll, died here yesterday afternoon after a game fight against typhoid fever. Moll was stricken ten days ago at Lafayette, Ind., where he coached the Purdue eleven, and was brought to the General hospital here. He was progressing nicely until Christmas eve, when he began sinking. Members of his family were hastily summoned and they were at his bedside when he died. Moll was considered one of the greatest football players Madison ever boasted and was quarter back on the 1908 and 1909 teams. He won undying fame in 1908 when, a stranger to gridiron laurels, single-handed, he beat Minnesota In the big game of the year by a thrilling run for the only touchdown of the game. He was the best goal kicker on the team. Moll was called upon In the middle of last season to take charge of the Purdue team at Lafayette. His work as a "coach Impressed the followers of the Purdue eleven and he turned out a successful team. He was offered the position of head coach for 1913, and he would have accepted. The death of the popular football star and coach has had the effect of dampening the holiday enthusiasm of the students who remained at the un!-. versity over Christmas. The whole town is mourning him. Moll was 25 years old. "K. 0." BRGVVN STOPS GRADWELUN SEVENTH "Special Delivery" Hirsch Knocked Out by Patsy Kline. New York, Dec. 26. Knockout Brown celebrated Christmas by stopping Young Gradwell of New Jersey In the seventh round of a scheduled ten-round bout at the Irving A. C. of Brooklyn yesterday afternoon. Brown seemed to lack his old wallop. Many times he caught his opponent flush on the chin, but the blows did not seem to have any effect. It was only after the blond boy shifted his attack and sent his left hand crashing to the midsection that his blows began to tell. Gradwellmanager tossed the sponge Into the ring In the seventh round. Patsy Kline defeated "Special Delivery" Hirsch of Chicago in ten rounds at the Hillsdale, A. C, Newark. Hirsch .managed to stand Kline off until the fifth round, after which the Newark boy centered his attack to the body and wore down his less sturdy opponent. Al McCoy.the East New York welterweight, stopped Joe White of Brooklyn in the eighth round of a scheduled ten-round bout at the Brooklyn A. C. White was hanging on the ropes helpless when the referee halted the bout. Joe Egan. the Boston lightweight, gained a shade decision over Bob Masse

opponent as a boxer was definitely learned today, when, In discussing Mccarty's cleverness, he remarked that Luther might as well leave his straight left at the training camp, for all the good it will do, him when they hitch ' . on Wednesday afternoon. "If Mac can lay that straight left on my beak. I'll make him a present of a house and lot," said Palzer. "In his fight with Flynn he telegraphed that left five seconds ahead of Its delivery. I sat outside the ring and called the turn on every move he made." "I'll tell you something else." 'added ORourke's giant. "McCarty was tired and blowing like a porpoise In the ninth round of his fight with Flynn. You didn't know that, did you?" Both big men are in good enough condition now to go into the ring. Palzer especially Is In brilliant form, and barring accidents will be on edge wTien New Year's day rolls around. If he Is whipped by McCarty it will be simply because the Missouri giant Is the better man.

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 26. Wendell Phillips high school football team of Chi cago lost the first of its three games to the local high school eleven, 6 to 0. The score came In the third quarter, when a Boise half back raced forty yards on a forward pass for a touchdown. The decisive score was made with a pe cullar spread formation which com pletely baffled the visitors. Although outweighed nearly ten pounds on the average, the Chlcagoans put up one of the pluckiest battles seen here In several years. The con test, which was witnessed by the larg est football crowd In local history, was marked by clever playing on the part of both teams. Each eleven had sev eral chances to score, but fumbles or Incompleted forward passes prevented the tallies. Three times Wendell Phillips had the ball on the locals' five-yard line. Once a' fumble prevented a threatening touchdown. An ' Incompleted forward pass checked another, and the third time Boise held. Official ruling on several plays by which Wendell Phillips expected to make gains hurt the Chlcagoans when the referee announced the formations would not be allowed. Wendell Phillips played a masterly game at the start, rushing: Its heavier opponents off their feet by short, consistent gains. In the later part of the contest the visitors, weakened by he constant hammering of the Boise backs on off tackle plays, failed to hold as well at the start, and only a nervy fight on their part prevented a bigger score by the locals.
