4 ■■I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AN I? NEW?. CAUSE IF LITE u By Left Hook. OTHER M’CARTY, one of the most valuable instruments of the netting: of money under false pretenses in the hands of men who •jn't lik to work, was Anally killed in the prize-ring, a place he should never have been allowed to enter. He is the fifty-eighth victim of prize fighting since the brutality has been eliminated, and it has been used sole ly to Inculcate these principles of manliness and fair play that is in valuable to the youth of our city. According to the doctors who ex amined the fighter's body, he had or ganic heart trouble. According to Jim t'orbcit and other experts who Haw him shortly before he went into the fight with Pelky at Calgary, he was not in good condition. You will be interested to know how it was pos sible that a man with a bad heart could reach a position in pugilism where even a few gulls and greedy men could call him a champion ot anything and draw crowds of a size that would justify their offering him $5,000 to fight for them. This is how it was done and how he was killed: l'p until recent years prize-fight ing. the actual fighting, has been possible only to pure brutes, strong- t hewed, iron-hearted animals. All fights were either to a finish or for twenty-five or forty-five rounds. This condition made McCarty impossible. It was a survival of the most unciv ilized. With the growth of the in fluence jf the public schools this type I of man began to disappear. Young i men with intelligence boxed or exer- i vised and went into a decent business for a living. Finally only two of the old breed] were left, in two negroes—Johnson and Langford. It is white men who pay to see fights and make* pugilism possible, and they would not pay much to see the two negroes. John son and Langford had prac tically abol ished heavyweight prize-fighting be cause there were no fighters fit to] 4 (fjT EQEGJ EM SPOE1 rs* covered^ bcpe; Get Up When Frn Going to Bed?

PHAIR- meet them. This condition was bad for a num ber of men who had made a life work of capitalizing the degradation and blood lust of pugilism. They were threatened with the necessity of doing something useful or starving to death. They dug up the poor old ruin. Jef fries, and pitted him against John son and followed with one or two valiant and unskillful youngsters, but tlie public wearied quickly of this sort of sport, and heavyweight fighting died. It was up to these gentlemen to do something in a hurry. The Fraw- ley bill was passed in New York, where the most money is, and this permitted ten-round fights. The ten- round limit is useful because with a little luck an invalid might go through with it and not die the same night. The boxing commission was created. Its business was. among other things, to see that it got e nough revenue out of the prize-fight ing game to pay its own salaries and expenses. If John>on and Langford were al lowed to tight that would be practi cally impossible, so the only two real fighting men in the heavyweight di vision were barred. This let down the barriers with no real fighters to fear and everybody had a chance to make easy money. Inside of a year a horde of white hopes descended on New York. They were big. unskilled, inept clumsy, low-browed somnambulists who for the most part, to do them justice, knew that they were not fight ing men. but were willing to pose along - , as there was money in it. The pace was slow: the tights were short, and one was as bad as another, so there was nothing to fear. Shaky mitral valves and fat paunch didn’t make any difference. In this atmosphere and out of this sort of material Luther McCarty was grown by hothouse methods into white champion, so that he would draw just so many dollars to the box office. It is doubtful if he knew that his heart was weak. None of [ CALGARY.

That speeds of 100 miles an hour for short flashes will inevitably be reached on the'new motordome, go ing up now at the old show - grounds, is the belief of the motorcycle ex perts who are gathered here to fol low' the season of racing which is soon to start * over Jack Prirjce’s Southern circuit. Already, with the top of the track completed, and with serious clanger lurking in any speed over 75 miles an hour, the riders are hitting up a speed of 90 an hour. That gives a hint of what they will do later. Be fore they c an really “let out” the track must be completed—and this will soon be done. To finish it two feet six inches of heavy planks will be placed at the top of the real racing surface. This surface now in place is at an angle of 58 degrees.

Had It been a oay of real fighters he would never have gotten out of the preliminary class, and would soon have gone back to some decent work. And now the other incompetent (Pel ky) is held for killing him. whereas the real authors of hi- death are the shrewd money getters who lied to him day after day and told him he could fight. SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE REVISES BALL SCHEDULE SAVANNAH. OA.. May 28. A spe- cial meeting of the South Atlantic Leayue magnates was held in Savan nah yesterday for the purpose of making a number of revisions of the present playing - schedule. These re visions are necessary because of the late entrance of Charleston into the circuit. Charleston is said to be suf fering considerable inconvenience by reason of the present schedule. Those in attendance on the meet ing - were President .1. K. Pray, of the Albany club; President W. H. Walsh, of the Charleston club; Secretary Charles E. Walton, of the Columbus association; President A. W Barrs, of the .Jacksonville club: President M. J. Etherage. of the Macon club, and I'resident George W. Armstrong, of the Savannah club. GALLANT DEFEATS HOGAN. BOSTON. May -8. "One Round” Hogan, of California, who was sub stituted for K. (). Sweeney in the main bout at the Atlas A. A., was de feated in a ten-round bout with John ny Gallant, of Boston, last night. CHAPMAN HAS SIGNED. Catcher Chapman, Bill Smith’s new bnokslopper. will work for the local team to-day. He was signed last night and replaces Graham, who was released outright. heavy wire netting, four feet six inches high. On top of this will be the guard rail. Men Will “Rid© the Wire.” When the wire netting and tlie planks arc in place the real speeding will begin. And when this happens the riders will not only ride on the 58-degree surface, but they will ac tually mount the perpendicular wal’ and will even ride on the wire net ting. With everything in place the riders can begin to find out what speed the track really has. It is their opinion that it is extremely fast. It has been particularly well constructed and seems right in every particular. Not Motorcycles Here. To add to the speed possibilities two new consignments of racing mo torcycles have been shipped to the track from different factories, and they are the latest and most im proved machines, made strictly for .vpeed. and faster than anything of their size ever built before. Every morning and afternoon now the riders are tuning up their machines and get ting them ready for the big doings. On a good board track the speed iimits are usually the nerve and the strength of the driver. The track, when once a man is fairly started, is nothing but a fiat road of boards. There is nothing in the way and no turns to take—for the track is a per fect circle. No Limit But the Sky. It takes tremendous nerve and cool ness to hold a machine steady at high speed, and it taJ^es great power to hold its nose down and to keep it from going straight up and over the top. Aside from this, there i. £ ' no limit to the speed ex ept the power of the engines, and they are bu*lt fast enough to go at a rate faster than man ever rode before. bal? played. There is no truth in the report that Mr. Murphy does not allow his athletes to talk to him. Among the athletes this is considered hard luck.

May 28.—“Su- gar Glen” Liebhardt, renowned in song and story as the "Iron Man of the Minors.” will return to the South ern League as a member of the Mem phis pitching staff as soon as satis factory arrangements can bo made by Manager Bernhard. While no an nouncement has been made to the ef fect, it is understood that Floyd Kroh, the erratic left-hander, will be re leased. BEAUMONT CLUB WILL GET PITCHER WEAVER Orlie Weaver will probably go to Beaumont. Texas, instead of to New Orleans. Charley Frank lias refused to take Weaver unless lie can get a clear title to his services, and Smith Is not willing to give him up on that basis. Waivers have been secured n him and he will be sent to the Texas League. Garry Herrmann puts forth the infor mation that the purpose of the national baseball agreement is to protect base ball players. This.will be news to base ball players. Somehow we have a hunch that even if those English poloists do happen to win there will not be any general mourning. Some day some wise guy will tell us why it is that, when a baseball league opens its schedule the first ball must be heaved by a mayor or a sheriff or a constable or a justice of the peace or an alley inspector or something.

Smith (Referee Pelky-McCarty Fight and Sport'ng Editor Chicago American.) C ALGARY. ALBERTA. May 28— Despite the exonerating verdict of the Coroner’s jury Monday night, both Arthur Pelky, or Peltier, as his right name is, and Tommy Burns were held in $10,000 each it a court hearing to answer to the charge of manslaughter preferred by the Dominion Government for the death of Luther McCarty in the ring of Tommy Burns’ arena. Pelky was held directly; Burns as promoter of the contest. The other two concerned—William McCarney, manager of McCarty; and Referee Ed Smith—were detained for a short time only as witnesses and late: were permitted to leave the city of Calgary and the country upon fur nishing a bond of $500 each and their promise to appear here at some later date to testify during the trial. Bonds were furnished in all cases without trouble, townspeople flocking out plentifully to sign the court docu ments. The preliminary hearing was be fore Inspector Dul'fus at the mounted police barracks, and practically the same testimony was gone over is that at the Coroner’s jury hearing. Both McCarney and Smith testifi *d at length with Pelky in the prisoner's cage. Burns was not heard, as he was held to be equally guilty with Pelky. McCarney Off for East. A strong effort was made by the crown to show that McCarney was an equal promoter in the show with Bums, but this failed and the Phil adelphia man was permitted to leave on the midnight train with the holy of McCarty. Dr. H. H. Moshier, the man who de clared that the death of McCarty was due to a fractured spine at the base of the brain resulting in a hemor rhage. again was called and repeated what he had said the day before. As a result nothing new' was brought out and the case remained as mys terious as it was ten minutes after McCarty had been declared dead. Billy McCarney, manager of Mc Carty. gave me his first statement of what he thought was the matter with McCarty in the ling. After hearing McCarney and the testimony of the doctors I am strongly of the opinion that McCarty received i slight fracture of the neck during some practice work he did with buck ing bronchos a short time before the contest. McCarney said to me before* board ing his train ’with the body of Mc Carty: "These doctors say that a fracture | of the kind might have been received within four days» of autopsy and that there then would be no fibrous growth around the Injury. Luther delighted to ride fractious horses and get them to buck. He often got some nasty twists in this way and 1 was forever begging him to cease the sport that he thought was so good. But he would not. and I have an idea that he might have been injured in this way and not known it.” McCarney is out of the boxing gam. for good, he said. He will make no attempt to find anybody to take Mc Carty’s place in hie estimation, and Wife Will Accompany Remains. On the way East McCarney expect ed Mrs. Luther McCarty to board the train and accompany the remains into Chicago and beyond into Ohio, where the burial will take place at Piqua. The settlement of Luther’s estate will be made at that time. It isj< now n 1 that Luther’s ambition was to provide for the future of the child now two years old. McCarney w ill endeavor to arrange to carry out the "big hoy's” wishes in this matter. Luther's fa ther will be waiting the arrival of the remains at Piqua.

The World’s Largest Builders of Six-Cylinder Automobiles 1T“ ”54” Phaeton Electrically Self-Cranking and Electrically Lighted Study the Dealer as Intently as You Do the Car Do not purchase an automobile of a dealer in whom you cannot have complete confidence. Personality is a large factor in business dealings. The dealer whose personality engenders your confidence in him, whose business principles are sound, who is prosperous and for whom owners of cars he has sold say good words is the logical man from whose firm you can safely pur chase an automobile. GOOD SERVICE with a poor car is a better buy than poor service with a good car. If you would know the value of dealers’ service in the operation of an automobile, you have but to consult men who have owned several different makes of cars and, if you will talk with any HUDSON owner, you will appreciate the value of the type of service we furnish to the owner of an automobile. m All business is done solely on confidence. Confidence of one man in another. If you cannot have confidence in a dealer who sells the car you have selected, then yours is an unsafe purchase. The Service You Buy When Your Choice is a HUDSON There is scarcely any limit to which we will not go to insure HUDSON owners the fullest satisfaction from their cars. We arc more interested in you and your motoring interests after we have sold you the car than before you have bought. Yet, we realize that this is contrary to the attitude of the average automobile concern. This service that we give you is but keeping faith with the Hudson Mctor Car Company. There is a clause in our contract with the factory, which insures every purchaser of the highest standard of motor car service to be had. and this we cheerfully and rigidly adhere to in our deals with owners. The New HUDSON "Six’’ rose to a higher po: t as a sales success than any 6-cylinder car has ever seen in the same length of time it has been on the market. Its exceptional performance has been unusual among 6-cylinder cars. Its smooth, sweet-running mechanism gives a sensa tion of flying that is lacking in a 4-cylinder car. You can throttle it down to 3 miles an hour on high speed and pick up to 60 miles an hour with smoothness and ease ‘'-at will.be a revelation to you, if you have owned 4-cylmder cars. You can 1 go through city traffic at 3 miles an hour on high, with every cylinder hitting as smoothly as if you were going ten times as fast. Avoid Disappointment in Getting Delivery Ninety per cent of HUDSON orders are for spring delivery hence, within a few days, it will be impossible to secure a delivery date for a car. Hence, we cannot impress too strongly upon prospec tive purchasers the necessity of securing a fixed delivery date for their cars. It would be well to come sec the New HUDSON “Six” at your earliest convenience, or write or phone for new catalog. The “54” Phaeton sells at $2450. The “37 —the “Four-cylinder masterpiece”—is $1875, prices f. o. b. Detroit. See the Triangle on the Radiator FULTON AUTO SUPPLY CO., Distributors 16 E. NORTH AVE. J. H. GOLDSMITH. President
