He believes that the fans of Fargo and Moorhead will be better satisfied if the show starts early and gets through before midnight and he will start right at the hour of 9. Those who attended the last wrest ling contest, when Person was on, will remember that it was all over before 11:30 and the same will be the case to night. Anderson arrived in the city Satur day from Lowell, Mass., and it looking fit and tn great shape, and he says that he is sure to win the bout this even ing with Person. Whoever wins this bout will have the distinction of meet ing Westergard her« about Jan. 10, at a date yet to be announced, and while the latter will be a handicap af fair it will give the man a big boost in the game. Person, who resides in Fargo, is al ways in condition, but he is in better shape than he ever was before, for he realizes the great advantages he will have by beating Anderson decisive ly this evening. "You can rely on one thing," said the big fellow to the sport writer of The Forum, "I will defeat Anderson just as sure as I am standing before you this minute. I know I can do it, but not without some trouble. I want the chance to go against West ergard and I mean to have it by win ning the match tonight. There will be two great preliminaries this evening. The first will start at 9 and either McPhail or "Spike" Adams will appear, and one or the other will go against a good man in the semi wind-up. They are two good local men and ought to make a great showing. By the way, young McPhail is soon to go to the twin cities to be under the tutelage of his cousins, Mike Gibbons and his younger brother. "Mac'' is a comer and no mistake and the first and only time he appeared In the ring here he gave a good account of himself. The well known ability of "Spike" need not be commented on, as he al ways goes in for business right from the word go. It will be a big show and the house should be crowded. ENGLISH CHAMP. ARRIVED IN (LI Chicago, Dec. Europe's middleweight champion wrestler, has arrived in America and will seek matches with the beat men of his weight on this side the big pond. He was In the United States several years ago and remained un defeated. All efforts to match Irs linger with Kartye or Willoughby, however, proved of no avail as no clubs offered suitable purses for matches of this high class at that time. In the World of Sport WILL START OFF WITH RATTLING SIX-ROUND BOXING BOUTS. Since Irsllnger's departure from America, the cause of the smaller wrestlers has been espoused by the Chicago Athletic association and the game of the middlewelghts has taken a big boost, lrslinger will have little difficulty securing a match with the winner of the C. A. A. championship, who will hold the American title, if he is on the level. The winner of this match will hold the world's champion ship. lrsllnger Is holder of five belts, in cluding the world's championship and Lord Lonsdale diamond belt. He Is known in Europe as the "king of all wrestlers" and the "Frank Gotch" of his class. Three years ago he made a successful tour through the states, Canada and Mexico, and lost not one fall to anyone. He won his title in 1908 in Henkler's circus at the big international tournament in London, with 147 entrants from all countries, including many American stars. Sam Anderson of Boston lost two falls to none to lrsllnger In the semi-finals. The next big tournament at the London Alhambra was won again by Henry, and also the last, on Nov. 14, in Rams gate, England. The light heavyweight tournament of Europe was also captured by him. lrs llnger has also the distinction to be a straight and fair wrestler, always on The Foru the level, and also for establishing th? longest mat record. BIG WRESTLING MATCH. I It Will Take Placc at Thief River Falls Wednesday Night. Thief River Falls, Minn., Dec. 30.— Wrestling enthusiasts of the north west are greatly interested in the coming match between Loren C. Curtis of Halstad and Alber Francis of St. Paul. These men are in the middle weight class and are considered to be as good as any in the game at the present time. Both Curtis and Francis are hoping for a match with the pres ent champion, Walter Miller of Duluth, and tho approaching match will pave the way for a go with Millen The Curtis-Francis match will be staged at Thief River Falls on Tuesday, Jan. 14, 1913, and will take place In the large auditorium there. warn RA NOT HAVE MK-A-M Los Angeles, Dec. 30.—Before the first blow is struck in the A1 Palzer Luther McCarty match at Vernon on New Year's afternoon Mgr. Tom McCarey of the Pacific A. C. hopes to have $36,000 or a little over in the box office. The advance sale is big and there is every indication that every seat will be sold. The sale of tickets began with a rush in the morning, and two ticket sellers were kept busy handing out the pasteboards. "A1 couldn't possibly be in better shape than he is right now," stated Manager O'Rourke today. "He's so close to being on edge that the work of tomorrow will bring him right down to his best fighting point. Personally I don't think the battle will go ten rounds and I don't give McCarty one chance in ten to win." Down at the Venice training camp McCarty is carrying his left around in a plaster cast. v "He hurt his knuckles in delivering a left hook to the head while boxing young Kaufman," explained Mgr. Billy McCarney. "It's Just a slight bruise." This bit of news was received with speculation by the local followers of the boxing Igame, who remember the way McCarney used the "hood" while training his man for Jim Flynn. Be MeCarey's injury real or alleged, it has no effect on the betting, and even money still holds good. "Never has anything like this been seen since I've been promoting box ing," commented McCarey, while con sidering the possibility of opening up one side of the arena and constructing a n 80.—Henry Irslinsrerk addition at this late day. The ar chitects, however, discouraged the pro moter's intentions by telling him it would be impossible to build a safe section of extra seats In such limiteti time. McCarty is confident of winning and declares he will* beat the Iowa giant "to a pulp." In the opinion erf careful students of the boxing game here, McCarty in making his statements probably does not realize that he will have a tre mendous task to handle when he faces his op/fonent. According to his re marks he seems to under-rate the Iowa farmer. Probably his unexpected and decisive triumph over Flynn has given him the idea that he is a world beater and that he is^iow on the road to be come the king of all heavyweight boxers. In addition to under-rating Palzer's ability, McCarty apparently does not realise he is meeting the biggest heavyweight the game has had since Jim Jeffries was champion. Palzer Is a typical heavyweight fighter weighing 218 pounds and having a reach oi eighty-one inches. Had he been in the game when Jeffries, Fitzslmmons, Cor bett and Sharkey were In their prime, he undoubtedly would have made a deep impression on account of his size, light followers say. Palzer probably would not have been able to cope with the men mentioned, for, in addition to being heavy they were clever and strong hitters. Palzer is not clever, but he has improved many per cent since Tom O'Rourke, who handled Tom Sharkey, again agreed to look after his Interests and train him. Palzer will outweigh McCarty by ten or fifteen pounds, but that difference in weight is offset by the Nebraska man's speed and cleverness. The for mer is much like Jeffries was when the latter first entered the game, al though Jeffries was favored by having acted as sparring partner to Jim Cor bett. Palzer, judging from his recent bouts, will improve and according to O'Rourke, will be a champion as soon as he learns how to shift his weight with alacrity and increases his skill In boxing. He is a strong puncher and game. McCarty is credited with a stiff punch. He showed that he was the possessor of one when he knocked out Flynn. He will require all the power he can muster to whip the husky Iowan. The latter is a glutton for Forum Carpel Sweeper Free Any subscriber to THE DAILY FORUM who or brings in $4.00 OR MORE to apply on his subscription, will rcceivc one of the Forum Carpet Sweepers absolutely FREE.

"I'm doing so because I don't be lieve you have had the defense you ought to have had,' said the judge. "I feel sorry for you, but it's too late now you wrote bad letters,'" said the judge to William Bernhardt of Cincinnati. "I hope God may strike me dead,' began Bernhardt, but he was not al lowed to continue. Judge Anderson then passed the above sentences on the dynamiters. The court pronounced the sentences regardless of the pleas of some of the men who wept in the arms of their wives. Several were given sentences of one year and one day, in order to send them to Leavenworth. Those who received one year or less will be kept in the county jail. "The evidence shows some of the defendants guilty of murder, but as it was not charged, the government cannot punish them for that," said Judge Anderson. punishment and when he faces Mc Carty he probably will emulate Jef fries when he fought Corbett and Fitz slmmons. Round after round the ex heavyweight champion was pummelled unmercifully, but his rugged physique enabled him to withstand the punching until his opponents weakened. Then Jeffries waded in and stopped them. Palzei^may do the same thing. Ho has not gone over the twenty-round route yet, and it is more than possible his blows will have telling effect on McCarty about the fifteenth round, if the contest continues that long. If McCarty weakens by that time the chances are more than bright that Pal zer will stop him before the final gong is sounded. If McCarty's strength lasts beyond the fifteenth session he will b« favored, for he is faster than Palzer and had a wider knowledge of the game. He will be handicapped in putting into execution his skill, as Pal zer's reach is five and one-half inches longer, and that makes a difference when the opposing boxer is not bur dened with science. McCarty, although confident he will whip Palzer, probably will find that the task is not so simple as he thought. Palzer Is not saying much. He Is al lowing the fight fans to come to his camp and pass judgment on him. He does not care to sing his own praise. His move, apparently, is the correct one. as the enthusiasts on the coast have watched both men and have se lected Palzer to win. They are making him a slight favorite. They believe it will take a sledge-hammer blow to knock him down. McCarty Is liked there, but the fans have not enthused so much over him, as he has not dis played the aggressiveness and deter mination to battle. They say the reason he trimmed Flynn was because the latter carried the flght to him at all times. BEACU MiKtS A lEPUf Hae Something to Say About the Statement of Oscar "Cyclone" Kelly's Article. "Jack" Beach, who is to meet Leo Kossick in this city in the near future, takes offense to the statement that was made by Oscar Kelly in The Forum of last on yaur subscription, or for $7.50 Saturday and says in a letter: "I noted in your paper of Jast Sat urday a letter from Oscar Kelly want ing to meet the winner of any bout that might take place between myself and Leo Kossick and he also has a few things to say about me, which I want to answer. He states that he put me out in four rounds in Minneapolis be fore the Owls club last year. I don't know who Oscar Kelly is. but the last time I met "Cyclone" Kelly before the Owls club I was forced to quit at tho end of the fifth round on account of being fouled. In every round the only part of me he could hit was below the belt and the only punches I got were three. He would not have lasted two rounds if I had not been injured in the first round and he kept up the dirty work. The referee would not disquali fy him as the crowd wanted it to go the limit. He fights on the defensive all the time and the only way to get him out of his tracks or to uncover Is to knock him out. If I should beat Kossick I would be only to glad to meet him but it would be a v ?ry dis interesting fight. I don't know who Oscar is, unless it is the Minneapolis Jew, "Cyclone" Kelly who has to take an Irish name to get up enough cour age to get In a ring, and another thing, I think Kelly is doing a little knocking or he would not expose a club that has to have fights on the quiet."
