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: Birmingham, ab. r. h. po. a. e. Marcan, 2b.. . 4 2 2 6 0 0 Messenger, rf.. 3 0 0 2 0 0 Kniseley, cf. . 4 1 2 4 0 0 McBride.

Williams weakened in the eighth and was driven from the slab. A rain and hailstorm, which delayed the game thirty min utes made the field extremely heavy. The batting of Sentell and Odell featured.

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. STAGG IS O. K.

Cracks inSouthem Championship +•+ ‘l**^ +•+ +•+ 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 h»§ 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- ‘THE OLD RELIABLE” REMEPYfohMEW * ' DRUG G IGTG.OR TRIAL BOX CY MAIL 50c rnoF -lanten y3 henryst.Brooklyn.n.y. —* B EWAiU OF IMITATIONS- 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.
