AFTER BIG BOOTS
NE'W YORK, June 11. -Luther
McCarty, we are pleased to
say, is with us. So thai you
may realize what th“ addition of
Luther to our population means,
we wish to mention offhand, in a
way,' that he slammed Carl Mor
ris so hard one evening that the
Sapulpa marvel stuck to the can-
V«« long after the referee count
ed ten which means out. There
fore, by all the powers of reason
ing. Lather now looms up as a
member of tjhe “White Hope" di
vision.
Morris was not the best fighter
the world ever saw, but he was
considered what highbrows call in--
vulnerable. Knocking that invul
nerable stuff to smithereens adds
to Luther's reputation.
As is always said about all cham
pions and near champs. Luther
doesn’t look the part of a fighter.
This must always be mentioned
when writing about slam artists.
Still, honest. Luther doesn't look
a tighter. He is a rather tall broth
of a lad. extending six feet four
inches in the atmosphere and is
built in proportion.
Slanting him over. Luther gives
you the idea that he possesses some
kick to his wallops. He is as mod
est as he is tall; a very good trait.
Luther is here principally for the
arranging of a battle with either
Bombardier Wells or Al Palzer,
providing the latter makes up with
Toni O’Rourke.
UHLAN AND HARVESTER
TO GO FOR POLE MARK
The most sensational thing of the year
np the turf will he 'the pole trotting of
I'hlan and The Harvester. It is to start
in Europe, where it has never been seen,
and reach its climax when the horses
ome back in the iate summer.
Fabulous prices have been paid by what
is known as the ‘sealskin brigade" to
«atisf\ a whim -the world's record for a
pair of trotters yet the team record has
been the slowest of all to reduce. Here

JOE THOMAS DEFEATS
ABEL IN TEN’ROUNDS
NEW ORLEANS, June 11.-Jake
Abel, of Chattanooga, lost a newspaper
decision to Joo Thomas, of this city,
aft'ten rounds at the Orleans Athletic
club last night.
Although the crowd was manifestly
with Thomas he yvas repeatedly hissed
for using his elbow, and of which the
referee was apparently oblivious.
has won the honors and athletic
experts figure that the team that
is being sent abroad this year .w ill
again pluck the fruits of victory.
James E. Sullivan, of the Amer
ican amateur union, and other ath
letic experts expressed the belief
today that the Americans would
n<>t only carry off the bulk of the
prizes but would make many new
world’s records: The East and
the West are about evenly repre
sented on the .team..
Although a number of former
Olympic champions have been se
lected there is also a great deal
of fresh timber. Horrine. of Cali
fornia, is expected to win the high
■ jump; Duncan, of New York, is al
most certain to annex the discus
throw; Ralph Rose has no peer, as'
a shot putter and John Paul Janes,
of CorncTl, is one of the fastest
sprinters in the world. The ath
letes .were' recruited from athletic
organizations; high schools
and the United Slates army and
navy.' * ■

JOHNSON VISITS
CAMP DF FLYNN
■'«• •
LAS VEGAS, N. MEN. June 11.—
Jack Johnson has broken every canon
of the prize fighters creed by making
a friendly visit to the camp of the
man yyho is to try to take away, his
crown on July 4. The big champion
drove 'his wife and a party of friends
straight from Las VegrtS’H'o Monte
zuma Springs, where he was given a
cordial greeting. In fact, Flynn and
Johnson were as chummy as a pair of
club- mates during the time Jack was
the former's guest.
The visit was informal—a whim of
Johnson's, who, after lunch, took his
party out as usual for a ride.’
"Hello, fireman.” was the champion's
cheery greeting as Flynn dropped the
paper he was reading on the porch and
gaped in amazement at the machine
load of enemies.
“Hello, champion; how are you?”
called back Flynn, and the entire train
ing party swarmed down the lawn to
Johnson. The Johnson paj'ty was
shown-all over the Flynn reservation.
LITTLE ROCK MAY GET
NASHVILLE FRANCHISE
Nashville, tens . June 11.—Dan
E McGugin. owner of the Nashville
baseball franchise, announced today
that he would turn the franchise back
to President W. H. Kavanaugh, of the
league, unless reliable persons here,
preferably the Commercial club, took
it over permanently.
• Should he give up the franchise, it is
thought here that it would go to Lit
tle Rock. Following the legal entan
glements resulting from Sunday ball;
the club Is said to be in debt about $30,-
o(ib Having accepted the franchise
provisionally, Mr. McGugin does not
feel he is justified In carrying It
Indefinitely. When he accepted, ha
says, he -was under tWe impression that
the Commercial -club would relieve him
of the .responsibility. This has not
been realized.
GIBBONS EASY WINNER
OVER TOMMY CONNORS
NEW YORK. June 11.—Mike Gib
bons is in danger of winning the so
briquet of dancing master if he gives
many repetitions of his ten-round per
formance with Tommy Connors, of
Scranton. Pa... at the Irving Athletic
club last night. Nevertheless Gibbons
easily defeated his opponent and near
ly had Connors out In the tenth.
