Last night Luther Mc- Carthy, of Springfield, knocked him out in the sixth round of a ten-round bout before the Springfield Athletic club. The "hopeless hope" started off well and in the first two rounds honors were in his favor. After that, however, Mc- Carthy had all the better of it. He gradually wore his man down and in the sixth, with Morris against the ropes, sent in a right uppercut that put the giant Oklahoman out for five minutes. RECORD BROKEN BY GLASS.

Tech scored in the first inning, when McLin walked and H. Holland hit to left field, scoring McLin, who had stolen second.

Three Big Battles Slated To Be Held Outside of Chicago MURPHY, WELSH AND WOLGAST BOUTS FOR M’FARLAND By Ed W. Smith. CHICAGO, May 4.—Three ring battles, all ten-round affairs, await Packey McFarland and it is left to the judgment of the Chicago Celt whether he wants all three or only one. The proposed conflicts include a McFarland-Wol gast match. It is the plan of the promoters to send Packey against Eddie Murphy in the first of the series. Freddie Welsh to be his second foe and then the big clash with the champion. The men be hind the proposed move claim to have the assurance of the Cadillac star for such a meeting. Os course there will be no SIO,OOO guarantees accompanying any of the bouts. Packey must gamble with the pro moters on the drawing powers of the conflicts. All Kept a Secret. Just who the men are. that will pull this series of battles and the spot is kept a secret, their wish be ing not to make mention of the town or the connections until after the matches have been signed up. or at least until such a time when the first fight is really closed. But to satisfy the anxious mind it can be stated that the arena will be pit ted in the open air and within a radius of 100 miles of this city, a town which is familiar to the Chi cago fight-loving crowd. The pro moters are men of standing and there is every ring of sincerity in their movements. The Chicago representative of the men who would stage these battles will seek a conference with Mana ger Thiry to learn his side of the affair Micky McßrijJe, who acts as manager for the South Boston lightweight, has given his consent Frank Klaus Beats Jack Dillon, But Go Lacks Dash and Pep NEW YORK, May 4.—Jack Dillon, of Indianapolis, Is out of the running as a middleweight champion aspirant as a result of his defeat last night by Frank, Klaus, of Pittsburg. In eight of the ten rounds of the contest, which was held in Madison Square, the sturdy Pitts burger beat his rival. While it was not a whirlwind fight, both men exhibited their best points. Klaus hit Dillon often in the face and in the body, but in the seventh round the Hoosier tried to rally and gave his best exhibition of dash throughout the mill. Klaus won by punching Dillon until he was tired. There was plenty of action in every round. The big crowd that thronged the Garden looked for a knockout, for the word had been passed around that it was a."grudge" fight and when the final bell tapped there were growls of dis appointment. CHICAGOBOXERSMUST WEAR MASKS AND PADS CHICAGO. May 4.—Chief of Police McWeeny admits that recent decisions handed down by the state's attorney and municipal judges left him in doubt as to his ability to stop boxing exhibi tions in Chicago. This admission was made to Tommy White, who won a ver dict in the city court when he was re leased from charges of prize fighting. White was arrested while boxing with Harry Forbes. Both men wore masks and protectors during the bout. White was in conference with the city police head for several hours yes terday, feeling out his chances of giv ing public sparring exhibitions where the mask and protector are used, and from the declaration of the chief White thinks that he can stage such things without interference.

Packey and Welsh would draw an even greater house and what Mc- Farland and Wolgast would draw within 100 miles of this city is needless to figure. It would be enough. A fair percentage of the receipts would add considerably to Packer's bank roll.

E. DEAN ELLENWOOD Church, East Harris Street, Near Peachtree. SUNDAY, MAY 5, 8 P. M. Sam Crane Compares Training Methods of Big League Teams By Sam Crane. NEW YORK. May 4.—The un fortunate predicament that the Yankees and Phillies find themselves in by their best players being all shot to pieces, mostly by reason of illness, has brought up the wail that the spring training indulged In so extensively by all big league clubs Is hardly worth the candle. Doubtless much of the sickness was caused by bad weather expe rienced in the South this spring, but with proper care much of the illness could have been prevented. The Giants arrived back in New’ York, all enjoying the best of health and in as perfect physical condition to start the champion ship season as any body of w?ll trained athletes could possibly be. McGraw- was not influenced at all, either, into having the doctor accompany- the team to Marlin by reason of rumors of an epidemic of meningitis in Texas. The system of training he fol lowed this spring was exactly the same he always has since he man aged the Giants. He knows that If the players take halfway decent care of themselves that there is no more danger, to their health while training in the South than in the North, nor as much, for that mat ter. Texas weather this spring was fully as bad as that experienced elsewhere in the South. Some parts of Arizona. I know from experience, would be model training places, but the expenses of such a long trip would be enor mous, and with no financial returns and no chance afforded to play op posing clubs, and that is a neces sity. If other managers would adopt McGraw’s plan of looking out so route. Nothing could be more pleasing to the Stock Yards Irlsh .man, for only this mqgnlng his manager declared that such a con tract could easily- be arranged. There may be some hitch o‘n the w’eight question for this big fight, but the getting together of their managers will soon tell that. Packey says he will do 133 pounds at 3 o'clock for the champion. Manager Thiry ridicules the idea that Packey must now step into the welterweight class. “Packey- will never be able to fight a real good man at 133 pounds ringside, this I admit,” said Thiry last night, "but he is far from a w elterw-elght Why, he weighed 134 pounds the day be fore his clash with Wells. And let me tell you that his work in this fight surprised me greatly. I have seen Packey in all his good clashes, but in none did he show the science, speed, cleverness and footwork that were brought out in this Wells match. And don't let anybody tell you that Wells isn't a good man." Athens and return $1.50 Sundays, effective May 5.’ Seaboard.

There is ever so much more in spring training than merely the throwing and batting of the ball. One great trouble with profes sional ball players, old or young, is that they neglect their health, largely through the carelessness that all athletes in perfect health seem to have. They- are averse to taking the necessary medicines that are requisite to keep them in good physical condition, especially in the spring, and usually hax-e to be forced into taking the most com monplace precautions They will nurse their arms, legs and muscles most carefully, but do not seem to have even a common sense regard for their internal mechanism. They are, in fact, like growing children who have to be watched by their mothers. Used on 20fl This new-type tire—thß now far outsells every otM Over one million havdß 200,000 cars.
