STAB 's News Not That Is the Opinion of Eastern Pugilistic Authorities--The Vital Question Is One of Weight. The one match that is interesting to the followers of the ringside at the present time is that which is scheduled to be fought next month at the Westchester Athletic club of New York city and which will bring together Terry Mc- Govero of Brooklyn and Pedlar Palmer of England. The club has hung up a purse of $10,000 for the" match, and the Englishman, who arrived in New York the first of the week, will start in to train at once. There is a good deal of speculation already on the outcome of the contest, and it is safe to say that the Brooklyn boy will be the favorite in his best place. At a meeting Tuesday George Silerof Chicago was agreed upon to referee the Palmer-McGoveru fight at the West- Chester Athletic club on Sept.

Since the retirement of Secretary of War Alger and the appointment of Eii- hu Root, much discussion has been going on concerning the necessary quaM- cations of the men for the office.

According to the articles which were forwarded to England, that was fixed at 116 pounds, and it is not likely that Palmer will agree to any amendment. The Brooklyn boy's last fight of importance was with Johnnie Ritchie of Chicago and he had to forfeit to him for failing to scale at. the proper weight. Will Palmer accept a forfeit of the same kind? That matter, when brought to the attention of Sam Harris, aroused the astute manager of the little South Brooklyn boxer. He said that Terry would experience no trouble whatever in getting to the weight called for in the articles.

Harris may mean well enough, but there is not a man who has closely observed the youngster who thinks for a moment that he can do anything of the kind. Ritchie was not the only one he had to forfeit to.

This leads the officers to believe that Angeles has i cleverer boy than he has ever tackled and one who has also gone against every bantamweight of any reputation, Palmer is 24 years of age and has been following the ring for the past six years. His first battle was with Walter Groot of London and he disposed of his fellow countryman in 17 rounds. Mike Small of the same place was put to sleep by him in six rounds, and Bill Mortimer in one round less. In an exhibition with Dave Wallace, in 1894. who at that time was the recognized bantamweight champion of Eng- gland, he proved that he was made of championship material.

This meeting resulted in his being matched with Billy Plimmer. That fight attracted a big. crowd in London and after the hottest kind of a contest he defeated Plimmer in 14 rounds. With the scalps of these fellow countrymen dangling at his belt he crossed the ocean in search of American dollars and was pitted against George Dixon at the Madison Square garden. He put up a great fight with the colored fighter, and after the six rounds had been fought the referee declared the bout a draw.
