THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY. MAY 27, 1913. 7 O o Keeping Up witi h h he Styi le Is Too Tougi h a Job for Jeff • d?<j By “Bud ” Fisher Bv Ed W. Syiitli. (Referee Pelky. McCarty Fight, Sport ing Editor Chicago American.) C ADGARY, ALBERTA, May 27.— Luther McCarty's death in the glove contest here Saturday afternoon with Arthur Pelky was en tirely an accident. This was the ver dict 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 tlie sum of $10,000, Fred C. Lowes, a wealthy real estate man, and Tommy Burns 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 fot a couple of days at least and give further testimony. No bonds were- asked in their cases. Following is the full verdict as an nounood: "We. the Coroner's jury, find that Luther McCarty came by his death accidentally, the immediate cause be ing a subluxation of the cervical ver tebrae at the Burns 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 w hatsoever.” This was signed by P. J. McManus as foreman. The other jurors were H. C. 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 he fell. Other Fights the Cause. A highly dramatic incident came right at thg close of the hearing when 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 sortie other than a blow received. He said it was highly pos sible and then, rising to his feet, he shook his finger at the prosecutor, who was then questioning him, and during intense silence, shouted: ’ft 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 'ho 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 final clinch, collapsing about eight or ten seconds later. The State attempted to tangle up all the w itnesses 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.

A THENS, GA., May 27—Despite the fact that Georgia 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 Clemson, 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.

May Lose Hutchens. Hutchens, the Red and Black’s great receiver of this season, is like wise a member of thr law depart ment and will receive his “dip” this year. There is but a slight chance for him to return, not unless he leads the team. Bowden has a contract from the Boston Nationals whenever he sees fit to annex his signature to it and he is liable to become a member of Stallings Braves at any time after college closes this summer. He has one more year in Southern athletics, and on account of his ability in bbth 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 is 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 hut few games this year, but with a Titt 1« more training will he a mainstay next year. Corley has already made an enviable record, -although playing his first year in college hall. Cobb Praised Brown. This completes the list of regulars, to which may he added Brown, the freshman, who played in several games and who wields the willow in such good style that Ty Cobh pro nounced him the most finished batter on the Red and Black squad. He is an outfielder and will he heard from next year. Another sub who filled in to a good advantage while Coving ton was ruled off the team is Holden, eaptain of the scrubs. He has an other year in college and will he a valuable asset at a future date. JXTH'tJRE are those great ones VV whose proud names we hailedt Tinker and Evers and Chance!

WITH COFFET 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. * C HARLES E. VAN LOAN, Amer ica's greatest sporting fiction writer, covered the Jim Flynn- Jim Coffey heavyweight bout, in New York last ^rlday 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 Oharigllone. whose busi ness name is Jim Flynn, stunted the Dublin Giant somewhat in a 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 rippel and tore and slashed his way tj victory, whaling away at his taller- 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 tn himself. Flynn elected to stand still for the better part of the first round and allow Coffey to pop him on th^ jaw with rights 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 i streams from one of Fdynn’s eyes. Flynn Dives Into Coffey. The Puebio product finally grew angry under this constant bom bardment and i t 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 tf^ second and third rounds anff 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 ing from a succession of swings to the body and jaw. Flynn Had Coffey Reeling. In the fifth and the sixth matters were fairly even, but from the seventh until the end the tough old veteran forged into the lead, and though Coffey kept up his left jabs and right crosses there was 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 the as pirations of many members of the younger set. NEW CLUB WILL ENTER FEDERAL NEXT SEASON TOLEDO, OHIO.
