LUTHER M'CARTY IS HERALED AS REAL WORLD'S CHAMPION Splendid Fight Unearths One of Cleverest Ring Men In History of the Game PALSER NO MATCH FOR YOUNG HEAVY LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 2.—That Luther Mc- Carty is a real champion is the general verdict of the Los Angeles fight fans today, following the big cowboy's victory over AI Palser in the 18th round of their scheduled 20-roimd contest at Vernon. Al so, Referee Eyton's action in stopping the bout to save Palser further punishment is popularly com mended. PALSEIt OITPOINTKI) Through 17 rounds and into the 18th, McCarty outhoxed, out generaled and out-punched the giant lowan, and in the 18th had Paloer wobbling sadly, hio knees shaking under the gr«-at strain of the body they no longer were able to support steadily. A succession of lefts and rights to the head, which rocked Palser to the bottom of his immense frame and caused blood to stream from cuts on his •yes and lips, brought Eyton to his rescue, and McCarty's hand was raised, signifying the crowning of a new champion. MTAItTV'H SI It AH.II I liKKT McCarty's showing was a revelation to the white hope weary rlngslderß. The straight left with which he jabbed Jim Flynn Into submission was almost as effective against Palser, whose open style of work and sorry slowness left his face a mark for the cowboy's ■hots. «RKAT FKiHTKK Smiling and coolly calculating throughout, with hia ring gen eralship, cleverness imrl unusual judgment of distance for a heavy weight, McCarty's general showing was such as to impress the thous ands about the ringside that one of the best two-handed and all around heavyweights since the days of Corbett, Fltzsimmons and Jeffries has been uncovered. PALMER IN POOR KHAPE Palser was plainly in poor condition. He appeared fat, and while he was game and willing always there was little zest in his work: he was generally slow and his work was ineffective. His hitting was poor and the much-vaunted right cross with which he defeated Hombadier Wells was entirely missing. A majority of his blows were delivered lv restricted fashion and he appeared slightly muscle-bound. PAiiSKu mm Palser after the battle wept like a child In his dressing room. Able throughout the battle to maintain his cheerful grin in the face of the battering punishment administered by McCarty, the blond giant wept openly while he was being ridded of the traces of the fray. "I underestimated him, I'll admit that," the veteran handler of fighters said. "Al should have had at least ten days more to train. He wasn't the real Palser at all." Palser denied today that he has split with O'Rourke. He de clared he would continue under his present management, but at the game time he blames O'Rourke for hta defeat, claiming that the New Yorker ordered him to try to box with McCarty instead of fighting In his usual rushing, slambang method ROUND OMB.

NO. flurn ye, no body said that I tat tling Brandt had challenged Luther McCarty to fight. He Just wired Luth If he couldn't say "hello" to him • when he met him on the street. Somebody suggested that walking was good. Get that, Bat?

MERCY, BUT THAT WAS A GRUELLING SMOKER IN TACOMA LAST NIGHT "Denver ■-:•!"" Martin wouldn't look well in a cell with a charge of mniixlttughter to face today. Probably that's why the Martln llrandt match didn't go. This "Battler" is some boy. He'd make n good subject for a "l>efore-tnking-our-i>reparation" picture on a bottle of fnt destroyer. Hut as a lighter he belongs in the premium ham division. Just Imagine. Imagine "Wllluni" Taft and "Gawge" Shreeder doing a 40 --mlnute dialogue on tariff ques tions and the fan who was for tunate enough not to Bee the match put up last night by "Bat tling" Brandt and Fritz Frye will have a pretty good conception of that go. They were scheduled for 10 rounds, and went two. In the middle of the third round the referee began to entertain fear that one or the other of the fighters might fall and hurt him self and the pair were escorted to their dressing room. Kujoyable Moments. Yet there were enjoyable mo ments at the smoker. Ed Morell, the Illinois farm hand, for in stance, furnished the fans with not a little bliss. "Young" Ailing, who mixed it with Morell, was the star performer of the even ing. Well matched. Ailing would put up a nice exhibition. For three rounds and a half these lads played really good ball. Morell was strong for "haymak ers," but somehow couldn't land them. In the fourth round he posed too long for his picture and Ailing tucked him in his little bed for a beauty sleep. The first prelim, was one of those Informal luncheon affairs, Joe Crawford serving the tea to Henry Benton. A Maratlion. Benton opened the show with a marathon. He kept out of Craw ford's reach for full 40 seconds, whon his wind gave out, and he went to the sofa. Billy Laskey of the navy put Jack Murray away while the youngsters were waiting for the fourth gong. Their bout was not bad, that is, It was not so remark ably barren of everything on earth as was the Brandt-Frye. Murray persisted in stopping too many of the admiral's lefts and rights, that's all. Otherwise it might have gone the full six rounds.

Both men were in good condition, although It was evident that Sor enson might have been a trifle better had he known he waa to go on. Nelson took flic first two falls.
