Hemphill will probably pit South
paw Johns against the visitors in
an effort to grab the second game
from Johnny Dobbs' crew.
Johns has proved to be the most
effective hurler on the Cracker
squad this season, and with even
break tn luek should get away with
his game. Graham will again be at
the receiving end for the Crackers.
Aitchison. the former Volunteer,

New Hope Who Beat the Frazzled Morris Is a Giant
M’CARTHY LEARNED TO BOX ON A CHICAGO STAGE
I
By Ed. W. Smith.
CHICAGO, May IS. —When Lu
ther McCarthy trimmed Carl
Morris the other night down
in Springfield. Mo., it looked for a
while as if a real "white hope" had
flashed out into the spotlight. Per
haps so, but when there, is an
analysis made of the McCarthy boy
he doesn't look so good.
Tt is generally known that Mc-
Carthy is the young man who was
one of the original Sig Hart pair of
hopes that broke into print around
here some time ago. John Young
being the other member of the team
and the one who stuck with Sig
after McCarthy deserted.
Both McCarthy and Young learn
ed the first rudiments of the box
ing game on the stage of McVick
er's theater, where Sig trained
them assiduously day after day.
working in private with the big
follows with Mike Cantwell to help
out and with stage hands as the
only spectators, with the exception
of an occasional invited guest.
McCarthy Was Impressive.
McCarthy was the more impres
sive of the pair because of his
heroic size. He stands six feet
three inches and weighs In good
shape 210 pounds—and only nine
teen years old, too. But it didn’t
turn out that he was much the bet
ter of the pair, as in private trials
of a desperate character Young
demonstrated that he would turn
out to be a real fighter. Once, It
is claimed, he made McCarthy cry

quits. Luther complaining that John
took advantage of him.
After one battle here, a winning
fight at South Rend. Ind., with
Jack Heinen, McCarthy dashed
away for the West and left Hart in
the lurch. He was taken up by
Billy McCarney. an Eastern mana
ger. who is still handling him.
McCarthy and Heinen,boxed the
semi-windup to the Sehlossberg-
O’Nell bout in South Bend, and
Heinen was declared out in the
third round. Hart had a hard time
keeping McCarthy going that night,
it was claimed at the time, as Hei
nen hit hard and true, and there
was no disguising the fact that
Luther “didn't like it.”
McCarthy comes from a place
within twenty miles of Lincoln,
Nebr.. where his father is widely
known as an Indian medicine man.
The father visited Chicago last
summer and furnished a pictur
esque figure tn his Western garb,
being as big a man as the son.
But. getting back to McCarthy's
victory over Morris. On» fact

this is the real dope on Morris, he
never amounted to as much as a
fourth-rater after Jim Flynn got
through with him.

four rounds of tame boxing, in which
Ad Wolgast was credited with a victory
over Freddie Daniels, the lightweight
champion left for Chicago today.
The bout was originally scheduled to
go six rounds, hut Wolgast refused to
go on unless It. was cut to four, saying
he did not want to run the danger of
having his lip cut again and losing
valuable purses in the East.

throughout the fight, hitting Daniels a

Morris in quicker time than did
Jim Flynn. Bum dope, that, since
Flynn reduced Morris to ribbons
and put him completely out of
business but a short time before.
Palzer should have beaten Morris
quicker than he did, considering
that.
Flynn Beating Hurts Him.
And it doesn’t enhance one's
opinion of McCarthy’s ability, this
victory over Morris. A beating like
the one he got from Flynn would
ruin a better man than Morris.
McCarthy has had about eight
battles in all, and one of them was

the "fighting ghost,” a man of 170
pounds, trimming him last Decem

have knocked McCarthy out if he
hadn't thrown his own shoulder

These are some of the reasons
declined to accept victories over
Carl Morris as indicative of a
"hope's” future prospects. WoTl
have to see McCarthy do greater
things than that before placing him
among those who have a chance of
breaking Into the charmed circle
seriously.

PERRY AND ROBINSON ~|i
MINGLE HEREMAY2B '
! I
THE Gate City club will have a
“dark night” next Tuesday.
Matchmaker George Brown
field has been unable to secure a
worthy opponent for Frank Whit
ney, and, rather than put on a man
who could not make a good show
ing against the “Fighting Carpen
ter,” decided to call Tuesday night’s
show 7 off.
Brownfield went after Tommy
O'Keefe. Owen Moran, Harry Tren
dall and a half dozen others, but all
were fled up so they couldn’t get
here in time to train properly for a
bout next week.
But the hustling Gate City club's
matchmaker had a busy yesterday
just the same. He finally managed
to sign up Jax:k Robinson, the clev
er Chicago 145-pounder, and Jimmy
Perry, the boy who has never failed
to deliver the goods here, for a week
from Tuesday.
Robinson has been hanging
around Atlanta for n month trying
to got a match with Perry. But
not until yesterday could the men
come to an understanding. They
have posted SSO to make 145 pounds
at 4 o'clock the afternoon of the
match
Robinson a few years ago was
■ - . j
one of the best welterweights in
the country, having fought all the
top-notehers. He is probably the
cleverest man of his w’eight in the
game, but whether lie still ean stand
punishment only Tuesday night’s
battle can tell He says he is as
good as ever and that he will surely
beat Perry.
At any rate, Robinson appears to
be in good condition and right aft
er he. had signed articles last night
he started working for the mill.
YALE AND HARVARdIn
TRACK STRUGGLE TODAY’
CAMBRIDGE. MASS.. Mav 18.-Fine
weather prevailed today for the annual 1
track meeting between Yale and Harvard. !
Tt was difficult to pick a winner because
of the results of the two meets between
Yale and Princeton and Harvard and
Dari mouth last Saturday, which upset
calculations. The Blue, which had been
supposed to be weak In sprints, showed
unexpected speed in their three events,
while the Crimson made a remarkable
showing in the distance events. On the
low hurdles, Platt, of Tale, was generally
conceded the palm for this afternoon.
Harvard supporters relied upon Leslie
and Batchelder to carry off shot put hon
ors. Harvard also pfnned its faith to
Cobb in the hammer throws, although
Pickett, of Yale, was an acknowledged
hard man to beat Diggins and Cook
seemed to have the broad jump at thetr
mercy. The high jump seemed an even
break, with Dickinson, of Yale, and Mof
fatt, of Harvard, pitted against each
other.
