Keeping regular hour*, doing vour

Look Before You Squat
McCarty Like Stanley Ketchel
+•*1*
4-®4-
+•4*
Naughton Tells of His Ring Rise
Bv W. \V. Naughton.
S AN* FRANCISCO, May 31.—Lu
ther McCarty was just such an
other picturesque character as
the late Stanley Ketchel, and appar
ently just as ill-fated. Luther, like
Ketchel, led a nomadic existence be
fore he gained fames a» 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 wag
meteoric.
McCarty, according to ids own tell
ing. was horn at Wild Horse Canon,
near Lincoln, Neb. His father was
Irish and ills 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, stanls
6 feet 6 incites and weighs over 300
Pv Ls. According to Luther, he had
on uncle who measured 7 feet f.
Inc. . «• and scaled 500 pounds. Luther
himself stood 6 feet 2% incites 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 Lariat.
He was an expert with lariat. hls (
proficiency in that direction enabling
him to transfer his talents to th*-
stage in places where the law for
bade displays of glovemanship. He
claimed to be a skillful camp cook —
a heritage of his 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 lie* bag a n liis 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
n 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 Ms
manager, Billy McCarney. While
seeking an opportunity to win his
spurs McCarty experienced many of
the hardships which abound in su h
instances, and McCarney. who saw
promise of future greatness In hn
protege, was content to share Luther's
hand-to-mouth existence and wait foe
the dawn of better times.
First Big Fight With Morris.
McCarty's first performance of real
importance was when lie knocked out
Carl Morris, the Oklahoma giant, In
three rounds at Springfield In May of
la«t year. McCarnev. who Is a versa
tile advertiser, then proclaimed that
the name 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 bo
mentioned that Luther was billed io
| box Pelky In New York last August.
Pelky, for some reason, failed to put
in an appearance and Jess Willard
took his place. The result was a
temporary setback for McCarty, as
Willard outboxed him. Now McCar
ty has lost his life at Pelky’* hands.
In the same manner the town of
Calgary has figured strangely in Mc
Carty's fortunes’. Calgary was the
scene of one of his earliest fights.
Luther went there unneralded 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 take
him in hand and advance his inter
ests. hut 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 tn West.
McCarty made his name heard
West He came here under engage-
I ment to box A1 Kaufman, the con-
! les-’t taking place at the Eighth-street
arena last October. McCarty scored
I an overwhelming victory, knocking
out the local heavyweight in the sec
ond round.
McCarty's next appearance in the
j ring was with .Jim Flynn at Los’
i Angeles. Here again he triumphed,
end after that h« won in handy fash
ion from A l Palzer. whom Tom
O’Rourke, of New York, had touted
las one of the most likely Ameri
can heavyweights developed in years.
For defeating Palzer McCarty re
ceived the McCarty belt emblematic
of the "White heavyweight” cham-
! pionship of the world McCarty, how.
! ever, w as in no hurry to defend his
I newly gained la lire’s. He claimed
j that he had earned the right to glean
j some of the easy money attached to
j theatrical engagements, and with
precedent to back him. his rivals
! could offer no protect.
When Bombardier Wells came
across from England a few months
| ago he'Challenged MtCarty. but Luth
er declined the issue on tile scor *
that the New York promoters had of
j fared unsuitable financial terms. Gun-
'hoal Smith agreed to box Welle, un.!
i received anything but a cordial greet
ing on being introduced to the crowd
as the champion of the world. It wag
his failure to accept the match witb
Wells that placed him in bad odor
with the Eastern .“ports
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 lie 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'.
.lie boxed Jim Flynn In Philadelphia
and Frank Moran in New York and
while he outpointed both ids oppon
ents the Eastern critics declared that
McCarty did not show championship
form, the inference being that many
months of the high life that goes with
i foot light 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 s’hort 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 lie 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
were 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
vuas a clean fighter and entertained
chivalrous feelings toward a beaten
opponent. Boosting was entirely for
eign to his nature.
Of Arthur Kelky not much is
known. He is* so new' to the ring
sport, in fact, that recently published
record books contain no mention of
his name He was defeated once by
Jess Willlard in New York and his
later performances include a draw
with Tommy Burns, at Calgary, and
a quick defeat of Andy Morris, of
Boston, at the same place. He is a
big-bodied, powerful fellow and more
than one expert has predicted suc
cess »for him as a championship as
pirant.

CHICAGO. May 31.—Five years ago
Pocatello was playing Weiser. two
rival Idaho teams. Higginbotham,
later of the Cubs, wap pitching for
Pocatello, and Jacques FTounier, now
of the White Sox. was catching. The
twirier of the Weiser squad was a
young chap named Mailer Johnson
now doing time on tlie Washington
Senators.
"Believe me, Johnson had as much
speed as he has to-day," said Frou-
nler. after he had faced Walter the
other day. "He shut us out that day,
1 to 0. and it was some game. I’ve
batted against him several times since
that date. In fact, he hit me on

my playing days for me. But I don’t

John Jackson First Title Holder
C HICOPEE. MASS.. May 31.—Ar
thur Pelky. the Chicopee boy
who knocked out Champion
Luther McCarty in Calgary, was born
at Dover, S&uth Ontario. October 27,
1883, the oldest in a family of thir
teen 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 nandy with his fists and
after his working hours' found time
to' develop the art of self-defense,
appearin frequently in private bouts
in which he got his first ring ex
perience.
His first important bout took place
before the Armory A A in Boston,
December 8. 191ft, 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.
Encouraged by his showing against
Salisbury, Pelky’s friends succeeded
in getting him a place on the card of
the Whip City Athletic Club In West-
field. where he met Tom Tracy, Jan
uary 23, 1911. Pelky had done a lit
tle training for this bout, but it was
plainly evident when he had been in
ac tion 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’e 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
hud 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 was in Adams.
December 28, 1911, when he put out
Jack Winrow, the wrestler, after two
minutes of fighting.
Before the Western Gateway A. C.,
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 Boston, in ten rounds of
slow rtghtjng.
In Pittsfield, on May 27. 1912. Pelky
met George McDermott, of New York,
in a ten-round contest in which Pelky
knocked his man through the ropes
tn 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 Jack Garrity, of New
York, in two rounds*.
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. ^
GANDIL AND PLANK ARE
NOT BEST OF FRIENDS
WASHINGTON. May 31. Chick
Gandil arm! Eddie Plank are not the
best of friends. Somehow or other
these two players do not care much
for each other, and they never fail
lo show their feelings when both .ire
in a game. Gandil to date has the
laugh on Plank, for he always hits
his offerings hard.
Clever as Plank appears to he
against other members of the Wash
ington team. Gandil seems able to
anticipate him and he always hits
the ball hard when he is pitching
By Otto C. Kioto.
T HE undefeated. What a thrill
and what a world of meaning
there seems to be conveyed by
the two little words. They were re
called to me when I received the
following little note:
“If not asking too much and not
presuming on your time, will you
f | rat if y the curiosity of one who fol-
ows your column most religiously
and give us the names of the heavy
weights that have retired undefeated
from the ring. By doing so you will
furnish the solution of a most heated
argument among
“YOUR ADMIRERS.”
“Fort Smith. Ark.”
* * •
TN order ta give a correct answer
* to this query, we are forced to
carefully peruse Boxiana from the
date of the first battle of record 1n
719. when James Figg became the
Initial champion, down to 1860. when
Tom Sayers retired after his battle
with Heenan. Then down to our
champions of the period in which
we live. The topic, however, is so
interesting a one that we gladly con
sent to ^undertake the job. which
means over 2,000 pages of research.
Of the heavyweight champions of
our time, two missed it by a single
defeat. One was the immortal John
L. Sullivan and the other James J.
Jeffries. Sullivan was overturned by
Corbett in New Orleans in 1892, and
Jeffries, although he at one time re
tired "an undefeated champion.”
was forced to come back and assume
activities by public clamor. On the
occasion of his reappearance he was
beaten by the "unspeakable black.”
* • •
JOHN JACKSON, probably the most
J popular champion England ever
produced (1795-1800), was the first
to leave the roped battleground un
defeated. Jackson was a great fa
vorite with the "nobility” of his
time, and the splendid monument
erected in Brompton Cemetery, near
London, by public subscription,
speaks volumes for the man. On
the side of the mausoleum nearest
the entrance is inscribed a medallion
portrait of the deceased:

Remains of

path. is a nude gladiator, holding a
floral wreath and plunged in grief.
On the top a lion couchant, and on
the further end we read the follow
ing:
“Stay, traveler,” the Roman records
said,

it laid;
"Stay, traveler,” this brief memorial
cries.
And read the record with attentive
eyes.

sen lies.
CO groat was the grief at Jackson’s
^ death that Parliament adjourned.
ar.J in a copy of Bell's London Life,
which fortunately is possessed by the
writer, we find an article, or rather
an obituary notice, on Jackson’s
death, penned by Vincent George
Dowling. Esq., from which we take
a few extracts:
“John Jackson was an instance of
the glorious truth, which the country
is always evolving that if a man be
true to himself, he may defy the ob
loquy and malice of millions. No
matter in what grade of life a crea
ture is thrown; no matter whether
from necessity or choice he mingles
with the learned or the illiterate, the
high or the low; give him the at
tribute of genius, or. if that be denied.
honesty and perseverance, and he
must distinguish himself. The choice
of a profession is the puzzle of hoy-
hood—be it so.
“A profession never degraded the
man, if that man took care not to de
grade the profession.
"‘Good!’ exclaims the anti-pugilist,
but what say you to the prize fighter?
The response is plain. He is the ex
emplar, the professor, the demonstra
tor of a practice, of an exercise.
Could or can the sword or bow be
taught without professors, and can
they teach without exemplifying?
Jackson died at the ripe old age of 77.

J OHN GULLY, who ruled as cham
pion from 1805 to 1808 retired and

TOM CRIBB. 1809, and Tom Spring.

WALTER JOHNSON IS
NEED OF A SECRETARY
WASHINGTON. May 31.—Walter
Johnson is really in need of a secre
tary. His mail has reached such pro
portions that it takes much of his
ime answering it. and it would keep
a stenographer busy for hours to take
rare of his correspondence.
Johnson receives requests of all
kinds. One morning this week the
first mail brought him over sixty let
ters. Roys and men write, some con
gratulating him on his success, other#
complimenting him on his habits, and
still others for information as to hov.
to become great pitchers. Johnson al
lows none of these letters to go un
answered. He writes each corre
spondent a personal letter, giving him
such information as he may desire,
but it keeps him rather busy doing it.
"Folks who are interested enough
in the game and me to take the time
to write are entitled to a reply, and
I mak" it a point to answer them all,”
is the way Johnson sizes it up.

weeks, will return within a feu days,
according to a letter from him yester
day. He stated that he has practi

to be back in time to help with the
plans for the Chicago interscholastic
meet at Marshall Field on June 7.
‘IVIATHEWS0N IS KING OF
ALL PITCHERS’—JENNINGS
DETROIT. MICH., May 31.—
Hughey Jennings was asked yester
day which he preferred. Mathewson,
of the Giants, or Johnson, of the Sen
ators. He hurriedly answered:
"Mathewson! Mathewson! He lias
absolute control 'of the ball at all
times. It is useless for a player to
wait him out unless he wants to give
a free pass. Matty's control from
the time he broke Jnto the National
League has been almost uncanny. In
picking the star of the Giants J do
not think the less of Johnson. He is
the best pitcher in the American
League, but if a choice had to be
made—well, Big Six for me.”

Goodrich Tires
are best in the long run
Not because the makers of practically
half 1913’s output of new cars have
bought Goodrich Tires to equip them—
Not because so many well known car
makers have always equipped their
output with Goodrich Tires—
Not because thousands and thousands
of more-than-satisfied tire users rec
ommend them enthusiastically—
But—
Because the Goodrich principle of
unit mildin[, which was crysta’ized
from our twenty-seven years of ex
perience in rubber manufacturing
before we made the first American
clincher tire and which we have never
changed, demonstrated its soundness
from the start—
And because our long experience In
selecting the best crude rubber and
compounding it gave us the ability to
give it toughness and durability
and at the same time keep the
buoyant life in it—
And because we make Goodrich
Tires of the finest fabric that can
be woven of Sea Island Cotton
—fabric that costs as much as
silk—and of pure rubber—
And because Goodrich unit
molding makes the whole tire
one integral piece—a unit—
which wears uniformly and
gives long, comfortable service.
The thick, tough tread, being «/
the tire and not merely in it,
naturally cannot strip or peel.
Our single vulcanization makes
all the tire at once—a unit—and
frees you of the danger from weak
spots or dead places caused by ovci,
vulcanisation cooking the life out
of the rubber.
Your tire dealer will supply you,
with whatever style of Goodrich
Tire you need—but there is only
ml kind and quality.
Write for free set of folders telling
you how to get the most service from
your tires and how to avoid the com
mon tire injuries.
And, if you plan a toor, let us send
the Goodrich Route Book covering it.
