PURE ACCIDENT.
By Ed W. Smith.
(Referee Pelky- McCarty Fight. Sport
ing Editor Chicago American.)
C ALGARY. ALBERTA. May 27.—
Luther McCarty’s death in the
glove contest here Saturday
afternoon with Arthur Pelky whs en
tirely an accident. This was the ver-
diet of the Coroner’s jury, determined
after two sittings, the decision be-
ing reached at 10 o’clock after a de
liberation of half an hour. Pelky was
exonerated completely from all blame
in the case.
Almost immediately after, however,
the Northwest mounted police put
Pelky under arrest, charging him with
manslaughter. He gave bail in the
-:m of $10,000. Fred C. Lowes, a
wealthy teal estate man. and Tommy
Liurns furnishing the surety. The
threatened cases against Referee
Smith, manager Billy McCarney and
Promoter Tommy Burns did not de
velop. but Smith and McCarney, in
lieu of being given their liberty,
promised to remain in the city for
a couple of days at least and give
further testimony. No bonds were
asked iri their cases.
Following is the full verdict as an
nounced :
“We. the Coroner’s jury, find that
Luther McCarty came by his death
accidentally, the immediate cause be
ing a stabilization of iic cervical ver
tebrae at the Bums arena May 24. but
there is no evidence to show' how this
injury occurred, we, the jury, there
fore exonerate Arthur Pelky from all
blame whatsoever.”
This was signed by P. J. McManus
as foreman. The other jurors were
H < ’. Hersey, R. Jackson. E. W. Scho
field. C. P. McCallum, M. Dawson
and E. A. Jones.
Trying for Criminal Case.
It was evident from the start that
the crown, stung by the severe crit
icisms of local ministers, intended to
make a desperate fight to get a ver
dict upon which to base a criminal
case against Pelky and perhaps the
others directly concerned in the un
fortunate contest. The prosecuting
attorney asked at once that all wit
nesses be excluded from the room be
fore going on the stand, and carried
his point.
Among the witnesses examined in
great detail were McCarney, Burns.
Smith, two of the local newspaper
men and Dr. Moshier, who performed
the autopsy. Pelky was not called at
all, but remained during the entire
case like a caged lion in a nearby
room. He has been deeply affected
all the way through, and during this
hearing appeared almost heart
broken.
Dr. Moshier gave the most damag
ing testimony against the boxers. He
declared that McCarty’s neck had
been dislocated under the base of the
brain and that this injury caused the
hemorrhage of the brain that brought
about the death. He all but declared
that the injury could have come
about in no other way but from a
blow or from the fall, the latter not
being possible, because the boxer’s
neck did not strike any object as iie
fell.
Other Fights the Cause.
A highly dramatic incident came
right at the close of the hearing wh:n
Pelky’s attorney called upon Dr. C. J,
Stewart, one of the oldest physicians
in Alberta, to partially refute the
testimony of Dr. Moshier. The phy
sician was asked if he thought Mc
Carty's Injury could not have been
caused by some other than a blow’
received. He said it was highly pos
sible and then, rising to his feet, : ia
shook his finger at the prosecutor,
who was then questioning him, and
dur ng intense silence, shouted:
■'ll is my opinion that the injury
to Luther McCarty was received from
Flynn or somebody else in a pre
vious encounter. In this contest,
never.”
He was excused in a hurry by the
prosecutor.
Referee Smith testified that in all
there were only about six blows land
ed during the contest, and that none
of them was at all hard or effective
and could hardly have caused even an
abrasion of the skin. He said the
boxing was about even up to the time
of McCarty’s collapse, and that Lu
ther had turned, smiled and winked
at his own corner after the find
clinch, collapsing about eight or ten
seconds later.
The State attempted to tangle up
all the witnesses in an effort to prove
that the contest was for the world’s
white championship that all cham
pionship conditions had been carried
out. and that it was in every way a
prize fight.

Georgia Ends Successful Season
O O O O O o
Prospects for 1914 Appear Good
A
THEN'S, GA., May ^27.—Despite
the fact .. that Geprgia lost
the series she would have
rather won than any other—the
one against Tech—the Red and
Black has had a remarkably success
ful season, both financially and in
games won and lost.
During the season the team scored
a total of 174 runs against 68 for its
opponents. Twenty-seven games
were played against the best teams
in Michigan. Ohio, Tennessee, Louisi
ana, Alabama, South Carolina and
Georgia, and but eight games were
lost. Two to Michigan, one to Ohio
Wesleyan, one to Olemson, one to Au
burn and three to Tech. Nineteen vic
tories were celebrated and most of
them were by one-sided scores, while
seven were shutouts for Georgia. Five
of the games that Georgia lost were
by one run.
Outlook for 1914 Good.
Since the season has closed and the
tension assumed the normal posf-
schedule laxity Coach Cunningham
has busied himself taking an intro
spective stock of his material for 1914
and of his present splendid array of
talent he expects to have all but three

Big John Morris, who has earned
himself a place on the All-Southern
team bis first year in college ball,
graduates in law in June, and will im-
mediaely “hang out his shingle” over
in Hart County, from where he hails.
Covington, who has played third
base for two years and who served
four years at center on the football
team, is a victim of the four-year rule
and after June will also join the ranks
of the colonels in the legal profes
sion.
May Lose Hutchens.
Hutchens, the Red and Black’s
great receiver of this season, is like
wise a member of the law depart
ment and will receive his “dip” this
year. There is but a slight chance for
him to return, not unless lie leads
the team.
Bowden has a contract from the
Boston Nationals whenever he sees
fit to annex his signature to it and
be is liable to become a member of
Stallings Braves at any time after
collegeCloses this summer. He has
one more year in Southern athletics
and on account of his ability in both
baseball and football a strenuous ef
fort will be made to persuade him
to return. With his wing in the shape
it is now he would find it rough sail
ing in any league and would certain
ly have hard going to make good.
Many to Return.
These are about all the sure losses
and doubtfuls, which leave a good
working nucleus for the team next
year. Henderson ir slated to return
for a place on the football eleven
and will draw the first base assign
ment again. Harrison is taking
pharmacy and will have another year,
while Clements at shortstop is a four-
year man and should make a strong
bid for All-Southern next year. Ginn.
McWhorter and Erwin all are sure
to return and so will Corley and
Hitchcock. The latter pitched but
few games this year, but with a little
more training will be a mainstay next
year. Corley has already made an
enviable record, although playing bis
first year in college ball.
Cobb Praised Brown.
Thi« completes the list of regulars,
to which may be added Brown, the
freshman. who played in several
games and who wields the willow in
such good style that Ty Cobb pro
nounced him the most finished batter
on the Red and Black squad. He is
an outfielder and will be heard from
next year. Another sub who filled
in to a good advantage while Coving
ton was ruled off the team is Holden,
captain of the scrubs. He lias an
other year in college and will be a
valuable asset at a future date.

KELLY IN DRAW SCRAP.
NEW YORK, May 27.—Eddie Kel
ley and •Fighting” Fitzpatrick, local
prides, fought ten fast rounds to a
draw here last night.
HARLES E. VAN LOAN, Amer-
greatest sporting fiction
writer, covered the Jim Flynn-
Jim Coffey heavyweight bout in New
York last T 'r1day night for the New
York American. His story is of es
pecial interest to local boxing fans,
as Flynn does battle with Jim Sav
age at the Auditorium-Armory here
on June 13. Here is Van Loan's
story:
Andrew Chariglione. whose busi
ness name is Jim Flynn, stunted
the Dublin Giant somewhat In it
ten-round argument before the
Garden Athletic Club. Jim Coffey
had age. weight, reach and 70
per cent of the house with him be
fore he started, but the battle-
scarred warrior of Pueblo ripped
and tore and slashed his wav tj
victory, whaline away at his talle r
opponent until he reduced him to
six feet of staggering, knock-kneed
humanity.
Not since the memorable fight
between Ketchel and O’Brien has
so much real fighting been cram
med into ten rounds, and it was
Flynn’s experience, aggressiveness
and cast iron jaw that won for him.
For some reason best known to
himself, Flynn elected to stand still
for the better part of the first round
and allow Coffey to pop him on the
jaw with riehts and lefts and the
Dublin import made the most of his
opportunities. He slammed the vet
eran 732 times by actual count and
brought the gore 1 streams from
one of Flynn’s eyes.
Flynn Dives Into Coffey,
The Pueblo product finally grew
angry under this constant bom
bardment and f the end of the
round he was driving into Coffey
head first, endeavoring to remove
his head from his shoulders with
wild rights and lefts.
Coffey continued to score in the
second and third rounds and
Flynn’s countenance gradually as
sumed the appearance of an over
ripe tomato. /
In the fourth round, however,
the Pueblo hodcarrier took matters
into his own hands and began to
lead with his haymaker swings and
White City Park Now Open
when the bell rang Coffey was reel-
in* from a succession of swinfs to
the body and jaw.
Flynn Had Caffay Raalins-
In tha flfth and tha aixth matters
were fairly even, but from the
seventh until the end the tou*h old
veteran forced into the lead, and
though Coffey kept up his left jabs
and right croases there waa no
power behind them. Flynn herded
his taller opponent from one side
of the ring to the other endeavor
ing to land the finishing punch.
Jim Flynn may be on the tobog
gan. but he is still good enough to
put an enduring crimp in tha as
pirations of many members of tha
younger set.
