cork, yarn and leather ever passed at
slow speed through the waiting and
anxious hands of three live ball play
ers is inexplicable—and then consid
erable.
But, anyhow, it happened. Where
upon Price "blew” and nobody
blamed him. He finished the inning,
allowing one more run.
Then they put in Chappelle. With
two gone in the fourth Walker and
Wares singled. Whereupon Gribbens
s r&tched <>ut a lucky one and two
more runs were over. No man in the
league except Wares could have come
in from second on the thing. But,
of course, it was Cracker luck to have
him on second at the time.
* * *
T HE concluding miracles came in
the sixth. Smith opened by get
ting a base on balls. Bisland then
hit one a mile. How Walker ever
got it nobody knew. It was so dark
and di^sty then that it was hard to
see what was happening so far away.
Then came Agler with what should
have been a safe hit. It raked through
the infield like a cannon shot. With
the crack of the bat Knaupp shut his
eyes, jumped for the moon—and
* CAUGHT TIIE BALL. It wasn’t a
play. It was a trick. Of course Smith
was doubled and the side was out.
Then, with Bagby flickering and
with Dobbs warming up a pitcher for
a "blow” that he anil everybody else
in the stand was looking for and with
the Crackers up for one more try
the storm broke. And it blew away
Atlanta’s last chance.
BARONS 4; PELICANS 1.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA., May 31 —
Right brilliantly did the bold .and
battle-L earred Barons beat out the
Pelicans here this afternoon by a
count of 4 to 1.
With Foxen hurling in irreproach
able fashion, the New Orleans outfit
would have failed to score at all had
it not been for the home run of Hen-
* drix. Three home runs featured the
contest, the other two being the prop
erty of Messrs. McBride and Marcan.
The Barons had Swindell's Angora
’ e ,rly in the action, and he was re-
li *ved by Wilson in the third, but
Wilson did little better, the Barons
being attired for the nonce in all the
glory of their full swatting regalia.
Kllam was back in the game after a
two weeks’ rest. The box score:

C HICOFEE, MASS.. May 31—Ar
thur Pelky. the Chicopee boy
who knocked out Champion
Luther McCarty its Calgary, was born
at Dover, South Ontario, October 27,
1883, the oldest in a family of thjr-
teon children.
Several years ago he came to live
in Chicopee, where he obtained work
as a loomflxer in one of the mills. He
was always handy with fils fists and
after his working hours-* found time
to develop the art of self-defense,
appearing frequently in private bouts
in which he got his first ring ex
perience.
His first important bout took plac°
before the Armory A. A. in Bos'on,
December 8. 1910, when he went ten
rounds to a draw with Kent (Kid)
Salisbury, of Newburyport. He had
entered the fight without any train
ing and his showing surprised every
one.
He Had a Terrible Right.
Encourrged by his showing against
Salisbury, Pelky’s friends succeeded
in getting Jim a place on the card of
the Whip City Athletic Club in Weal-
field, where he met Tom Tracy, Jan
uary 23, 1911. Petty had done a lit
tle training for this bout, but it .was
plainly evident when he had been in
action only a few minutes that he had
a lot to learn about boxing. How
ever, he had a terrible right punch
which made up for what he lacked
in science, as Tracy found out when
he got in front of it in the second
round. He went down and out then
and there.
Pelky’s next bout was a return en
gagement and this time Pelky got the
decision over the Newburyport man.
Soon after this time O’Rourke had his
famous white hope tournament in
New York City and Pelky entered.
Pelky went up against A1 Benedict, of
Boston, and Benedict was given the
decision, although Pelky’? friends still
maintain that he was the victim of
a raw deal by the referee. The New
York sporting writers, however, were
unanimous in declaring that Pelky
had whipped Benedict.
Stopped Jim Barry.
Pelky next appeared before the
Northern Berkshire A. C. In Adams,
where he met Tim Sullivan. In Chat
ham. Ont., September 24, 1911. while
on a visit to his home, he met Jim
Barry, whom he knocked out after
a hard five-round mill. His next
match was before the Northern Berk
shire A. C., where he met Salisbury
for the third time and got a decision
in ten rounds.
His shortest bout wap in Adams,
December 28, 1911, when he put out
Jack Winrow, the wrestler, after two
minutes of fighting.
Before the Western Gateway A f!.,
in North Adams, March 28, 1912, he
knocked out Soldier Kearns, of New
York, in the fifth round. On April 8,
1912, before the Whip City A. A., in
Westfield. Pelky got a draw with Jeff
Madden, of Bostjn. in ten rounds of
slow fighting.
In Pittsfield, on May 27. 1912, Peiky
met George McDermott, of New York,
in a ten-round contest in which Pelky
knocked his man through the ropes
in the fourth round. On November
28, 1912. he got the decision over
Sailor White, of New York, before the
Chicopee Athletic Club. About a
month later and before the same club,
Pelky put away .Tack Garrity, of New
York, in two rounds 1 .
Afraid to Use His Right.
Pelky began his ring career under
the management of Maurice P.
O’Brien, of Chicopee, who looked after
the fighter's interests until he went
with Tommy Burns about March 1
last. O'Brien developed Pelky into
a real "white hope” and always be
lieved that he had real championship
stuff in him when others were call
ing Pelky a one-handed fighter be
cause he used his left hand chiefly
in all bouts.
REDS OFFER" TWO PLAYERS
FOR SLUGGER SWEENEY
BOSTON, MASS., May 31.—Stal-
lings and Tinker have been debat
ing and, so it is said, have been dis
cussing the oft-mooted question of a
trade for Sweeney. This time, it is
said, the deal proposed is Egan and
Suggs for Newport Willie. So many
trades have been debated with Sween
ey as the protagonist that everyone
is skeptical, but this* time there seems
to bo a little more fire and a little
less smoke than usual.

Begins Tuesday in Montgomery
S. ATLANTIC LEAGUE
By Tick Tichenor.
T O-DAY golfers from all over the
South are gathering in Mont
gomery for the Southern cham
pionship, which begin? next Tuesday.
This is always the big noise in South
ern golf.
For the first time this event will be
held in Montgomery and the Mont
gomery Country Club has left nothing
undone to have everything in tiptop
shape for this tournament.
Who will be the new champion? Or
will it be a new man?
Nelson Whitney, who has twice won
this event, will be on hand. W. P.
Stewart, the winner for the last two
years, will also be there. Albert
Schwartz, J. P. Edrington, Leigh
Carroll, A. W. Gaines, F. G. Byrd, all
former title-holders, will again try to
annex the honor.
Rumor has it that R. H. Connerly,
G. V. Rotan, C. H. Munger and Bryan
Heard and several others will Journey
from the Lone Star State in the hope
of transferring the title to the plains
of Texas.
Ellis Knowles will represent Pen
sacola and must be reckoned with as
a dangerous contender.
New Orleans, in addition to her
four ex-champions—Messrs. Schwartz,
Carroll, Whitney and Stewart—will
send R. G. Bush, J. B. Bush, Whitney
Bouden, W. B. Stauffer and a number
of others, who will qualify in the
championship division.
Birmingham will send a large dele
gation, the most prominent of whom
are F. G. Byrd, George C. Oliver, W.
P. Ward, Smith Cullom, R. H. Baugh
and young Rollo Steinmehl.
President H. F Smith will bring
with him from Nashville E. W. Daley,
F. C. Stahlman, T. I. Webb and Law-
son Watts.
Ted Coy, who can hit a drive as
hard as he hit a liner, will come with
the Chattanooga crowd, which will
include A. W. Gaines, Scott Probasco,
Bob Davidson and a number of others.
Memphis will be represented by J.
P. Edrington, Albert Mallory, James
Rhea, Dudley Weaver and Bob Mor
row.
Chess Jones. H. A. Wright, Dr. Jack
Selden and R. A. Redding will be on
hand as representatives of the Log
Cabin Club of Macon.
Atlanta will have as her entries G.
W. Adair, W. H. Rowan, Dowdell
Brown. A. Davidson, the writer, and
a dozen others.
Montgomery will enter a large
crowd, but of the number Reid Sayre,
Nash Read and John Bream are the
most likely to get into the champion
ship division.
• • •
I-J ERE we have 45 players*, who, if
A A they start, are bound to get into
the championship division, which will
begin with 64 this year. This means
that the winner of the tournament
will be called upon to play 36 holes a
day for four days and must win six
matches. Under these circumstances
the question of condition will cut a
bigger figure this year than ever be
fore.
New Orleans again looks to be very
dangerous Last year nine players
from the Crescent City—Messrs.
Schwartz, Stewrirt. Whitney, Bouden.
Bush, Brooke. A. Stewart. White and
Carroll—got into the first 32, which
composed the championship division.
With this division increased to double
this number it is certain that they
will add several more to this number,
so that they will have at least one-
fifth and possibly one-fourth of the
players who are to fight out the
championship.
Next to New Orleans the Texas
crowd looks to be the next best bet, if
they come. R. H. Connerly has for
years been a consistent winner in all
of the Texas tournaments, and his
performance • of playing eighteen
rounds of the Austin course with a
goose-neck putter with an average of
37 strokes for each round is a record
which alone stamps him as an excep
tionally good player.
Bryan Heard has been to two
Southern championships—1907 and
1909—but his work even that far back
stamped him as a match player whom
it was a hard job for anyone to beat.
C. H. Munger, who will be with the
Texas crowd, is one of the 40 South
ern players who are eligible to enter
the amateur championship of the
United States. He has been a finalist
in the Texas* championship and if I
mistake not won this event one year.
G. V. Rotan is one of the few men
in the South who has been able to
qualify in the amateur championship.
At that time he was playing from the
Merrimac Valley <‘lub, as his Texas
club was not a member of the U S.
G. A. He is rated at four in the U. S.
G. A. handicap list, and from the re-
porls of those who have seen him
play is a fine golfer and on" who has
an excellent chance to annex ih<-
So’i hern H«!e.
.VI in all. if they come, this
fee
M.'le U p a »ld
as they •will win some matches and
are to be hard pickings for anybody.
• • •
A TLA NT A, be it said in all frank-
* * ness, has hardly an outside chance
of having one of her representatives
win this tournament. At least five
and possibly ten of her players should
qualify in the ohampionship division,
but none of them are sufficiently
steady to win six matches in the
field of golfers that will attend this
tournament.
Birmingham ia In the very same
fix as Atlanta. True, it is that young
Rollo Steinmehl made a wonderful
showing In the recent Birmingham
invitation tournament and proved be
yond the shadow of a doubt that he
has an excellent tournament disposi
tion, which Is a gTeat asset, but in
this tournament he will be called up
on to play a harder course and one
with which he Is not so fcftnillar, and
In addition to this will be up against
a much stronger field. I look for
him to n^ake a good showing but I
can’t see him as a winner this year.
If F. G. Byrd can regain his con
fidence in his putting he will again
be a strong contender. Last yeaT
with indifferent work on the greens
he went to the semi-final and lost to
W. P. Stewart on the eighteenth
green.
Nashville's hope lies in E. W. Daley.
In 1911 he went to the semi-final,
where he was beaten by the winner
of the tournament. Last year he
was off his game, but reports from
Nashville have It that he is in form
this year. If this be true and if he
take this tournament seriously, he
ought to make a showing with a
chance to win.
Jack Edrington will be the main
stay of the Memphis Golf and Coun
try Club. Jack is a fighter all of
the way. He is not a long player but
is usually on the line of the flag,
which, combined with his fine putting,
makes him a hard man to defeat.
Ellis Knowles has twice before
made an effort to win the Southern
championship and will do so again
this year. In both of the former
tournaments he has met defeat it
the hands of Mr. Edrington, whose
wonderful putting turned one match
at least from seeming defeat into
victory- Knowles is one of the long
est players in the South but has
heretofore been weak on his short
game. If he ha9 strengthened this
part of his play look out for him.
• * *
I A ST year wa6 the first appearance
of J. E. England, of Little Rock,
In the Southern. He went to cue
semi-final, where he was beaten by
Nelson Whitney. In all of his
matches prior to that one he showed
a wonderful short game, w'hich should
stand him In good stead at Mont
gomery, as the course is not a long
one.
H. A. Wright, of Macon, is a play
er who has been steadily improving.
He is exceptionally long on his toe
shots, and with the experience of tw >
tournaments he must not be entirely
overlooked. Last year he won his fir«t
two matches from Dudley Weaver
and Jack Edrington and was beaten
in the third round by Nelson Whit
ney in a match which lasted until tlie
seventeenth green.
• * *
O F the young players who are like
ly to make a showing there are
Whitney Bouden, R. T. Wilson, of
Knoxville, and Rollo Steinmehl. Of
Sterr.mehl I have already written.
Last year was Whitney Bouden’s
first appearance, but he returned the
second lowest score in the qualifying
round. He was beaten in his first
match by W. H. Rowan after a hard
fight, which went to the last green,
but in the consolation division of the
championship he went to the final and
was beaten by his clubmate, Albert
Schwartz.
R. T. Wilson, who has heretofore
plaved from Knoxville, where he was
attending the University of Tennes
see, although Ids home is in Mem
phis, qualified eleventh last year,
which was the second time he had
entered the Southern championship.
With an additional year's experien e
he is,likely to upset the dope in sev
eral matches before he Is beaten.
* • *
T OOK over this list: W. R. Stew-
C- art, Nelson Whitney, R. (3. Bush.
Albert Schwartz, Whitney Bouden.
Ellis Knowles, R. H. Connerly, G. V.
Rotan, Bryan Heard, Jack Kdrlngt >11,
J. E. England, F. G. Byrd, E. W.
Daley. Rollo Steinmehl, 11. A. Wright
and R. T. Wilson—and then figure
that there will be forty-eight other
players who will qualify in the
championship division and who will
do their best to upset the dope, and
you will see that it is going to oe
some tournament.
And the winner—well, if you can
pick him out of the bunch, you can
at least make expenses of the trip to
Montgomery.

S AN* FRANCISCO, May 31.—Lu
ther McCarty was just such an
other picturesque character as
the late Stanley Ketchel, and appar
ently just ns ill-fated. Luther, like
Ketchel, led a nomadic existence be
fore he gaim-d fames as a ringsman.
Like Ketchel, he was fond of forms
of life which took him far from the
crowded cities, and, like Ketchel. his
rise to prominence as a fighter was
meteoric.
McCarty, according to his own tell
ing. was bom at Wild Horse Canon.
n« j ar Lincoln, Neb. His father was
Irish and his mother Scotch. Her
father was half Indian. So far as
stature and bulk are concerned the
McCarty family boasted giants. Lu
ther's father, who Is still alive, stand®
6 feet. 6 inches and weighs over 30ft
pounds. According to Luther, he had
one uncle who measured 7 feet 6
Inches and scaled 500 pounds. Luther
himself stood 6 feet 2% inches and
weighed, in condition, a trifle over
200 pounds.
Away from the ring McCarty was a
care free, happy-go-lucky Individual.
He might almost have been called ir
responsible. He was a finely shaped,
handsome faced fellow and he reveled
in cowboy stunts. Even while train
ing for his bouts he loved to array
himself in rough rider costume and
scour the adjacent country mounted
on a broncho.
An Expert With the LaHat.
Ho was an expert with lariat, his
proficiency in that direction enabling
him to transfer his talents to the
stage in places where the law for
bade displays of glovemanship. He
claimed to be a srMlful camp cook —
a heritage of ii.o cowboy days—and
also boasted that he had made sun
dry voyages as a common sailor In
seagoing ships.
McCarty saw his 21st year last St.
Patrick's Day. According to the rec
ord he began bis career as a pugilist
two years ago. He attracted little
attention until he knocked out three
men. all in short order and within the
space of one month. This was only
a year ago, two of the bouts taking
place at Springfield. Mo., and the oth
er at Bartlesville, Okla.
It was some little time prior to
this that McCarty fell in with his
manager, Billy McCamey. While
seeking an opportunity to win his
spurs McCarty experienced many of
the hardships which abound in su h
instances, and McCamey, who sa*-
promise of future greatness in hȤ
protege, was content to share Luther’s
hand-to-mouth existence and wait for
the dawn of better times.
First Biq Fight With Morris.
McCarty’s first performance of real
importance was when he knocked out
Carl Morris, the Oklahoma giant. In
thri-e rounds at Springfield in May of
last year. McCamov. who is a versa
tile* advertiser, then proclaimed that
Cm* namf* of Luther McCarty would
“one day become a household word. ’
As showing how the life lines of
McCarty and Arthur Pelky have
crossed at various times, it may be
mentioned that Luther was billed :o
box Pelky in New York last August.
Pelky, for some reason, failed to put
in an appearance and Jess Y\ illard
took his place. The result was a
temporary setback for McC arty, as
Willard outboxed him. Now McCar
ty has lost his life at Pelky’s hanos.
In the same manner the tow’n or
Calgary has figured strangely in Mc
Carty’s fortunes. Calgary was the
scene of one of his earliest fights.
Lu f her went there unheralded and
unknown, and at the time there was
nothing to indicate that he would
ever amount to anything as a pugilist.
He besought Tommy Burns to tak*»
him in hand and advance his inter- ,
ests. but Burns, after looking the
stranger over, declined to act as his
mentor. It was to this same Calgary
that Luther as a full-blown champion,
went back to meet his death, and it
was the same Tommy Burns who
promoted the event.
McCarty Successful in West.
McCarty made his name heard
West. He came here under engage
ment to box Al Kaufman, the con
tent taking place at the Eighth-street
arena last October. McCarty scored
an overwhelming victory, knocking
out the local heavyweight in the sec
ond round.
McCarty’s next appearance in the
ring was with Jim Flynn at Lo?
AnireJes Here again lie triumphed,
and after that he won in handy fash
ion from Al Palzer. whom Tom
O’Rourke, of New York, had touted
as one of the most likely Ameri
can heavyweights developed in years.
For defeating Palzer McCarty re
ceived the McCarty belt emblematic
of tl>e “White heavyweight” cham
pionship of the world. McCarty, how-

ever, was in no hurry to defend his
newly gained laurels. He claimed
that he had earned the right to glean
some of the easy money attached to
theatrical engagements, and with
precedent to back him, his rivals
could offer no protest.
When Bombardier Wells came
across from England a few months
ago he challenged McCarty, but Luth
er declined the issue on the score
that the New York promoters had of
fered unsuitable financial terms. Gun
boat Smith agreed to box Wells, and
on the night of the contest McCarty
received anything but a cordial greet
ing on being introduced to the crowd
as the champion of the world. It wa$
his failure to accept the match witli
Wells that placed him in bad odor
with the Eastern sports.
Gunboat Sobers McCarty.
"Gunboat’’ Smith’s easy victory
over Wells made McCarty thought
ful. He felt that he had blundered
in not noticing the Britisher’s deft
and he decided to resume ring activ
ities. He allowed the notion to pre
vail that he would be ready to box
for the championship at either Los
Angeles or San Francisco on July 4.
and in the meantime he committed
himself to a series of minor bouts,
which he, no doubt, considered in
volved no particular risk and at the
same time comprised practical train
ing for the big event on Independence
Day.
He boxed Jim Flynn in Philadelphia
and Frank Moran in New York ahd
while he outpointed both his oppon
ents the Eastern critics declared that
McCarty did not show championship
form, the Inference being that mt\n>
months of the high life that goes with
a footllght tour of large cities had
dulled the edge of his dash.
The bout with Pelky was to have
been the last of the McCarty string
of short bouts. His tactics recently,
however, caused doubt to arise as
to what his Intentions were in re
gard to a match on the Fourth. One
report was that he had accepted a
theatrical engagement that would
make a world's championship event
in July impossible.
Luther Speedy and Clever.
McCarty’s strong points as a fighter
wore his speed and cleverness. In all
his matches here In the West he
fairly smothered his adversaries by
the rapidity of his glove play. He
was a clean fighter and entertained
chivalrous feelings toward a beaten
opponent. Boasting was entirely for
eign to his nature
CHICAGO, ILL* May 31.—Now
and then a pitcher arises to de
fend his “balky motion” and now no
less an authority than Ed Walsh, one
of the world’s greatest pitchers, says
he is going to call on President Ban
Johnson, demonstrate his famous
half-balk and get the league mogul
to call off his umpires.
"There isn’t an umpire In the
American League that can tell me
how I balk,’’ says the big fellow.
“Some of the umpires say that I throw
my shoulder forward, indicating that
I was to deliver the ball to the batter
and then whirl and throw to first,
thus violating the rules. I do not
move my shoulders except when I
start the throw to first. Another
umpire told me that I balked by the
movement of my knees. Yet I don’t
move my knees until J make the
throw to catch a runner off base.
“Clark Griffith, manager of the
Washington team and the man who is
always trying to get the umpires to
call balks on me, doesn’t know my
movement to first. He declares that
I balk with my shoulders, but 1 do
not.
"Naturally every time that a balk
is called on me I want to know why
and so far not an umpire has ever
told me. Many of them haven’t
tried.
"Clark Griffith and Jimmy Calla
han were two pitchers who were con
sidered mighty good in their day when
it came to holding runners on first
base. I have talked to Griffith and
know what his motion was. I have
talked to Callahan and know what
move he had. I have combined the
two and think 1 have a motion that
is mighty effective when it comes to
holding base runners close and at
the same time is within the spirit of
the rules.
“I know one thing, and that is that
I should like to explain it to the presi
dent of the league, so that his um
pires would understand it, and would
not punish me for using It.”
TWIRLER LOSES RIGHT;
BECOMES GOOD SOUTHPAW
KAI.AMAZOO, MTCH., May 31
Two years ago Danny Mannix pitched
the Kalamazoo team into the cham
pionship of the South Michigan
i-eague with his good right arm. East
year he broke his salary wing and
was compelled to quit, baseball, but
he commenced to practice throwing
with his left arm, with such good
success that he has become a semi-
pro southpaw and expects to rejoin
Kalamazoo next year.
