Willard Eyes McCarty Bout After NYC Arrival
Luther McCarty and Billy McCarney traveled from Los Angeles to New York while promoters sought a July 4 bout with Bombadier Wells or a ten round match with Jess Willard. Willard insisted on fighting for top status, while New York fans favor Willard and Vernon prospects. Sheriff Harburger pushes a $2,000 salary for each boxing commissioner and a $12,000 budget, as New York records show boxing tax and gate receipts since 1911. Palzer ends coast stay, planning to quit O Rourke after defeat, while Rivershaw scales at 138 1/2 pounds ahead of a January 14 weigh-in.
