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. WALTER JOHNSON WAS ALWAYS THERE WITH ZIP 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 the arm last season and nearly ended my playing days for me. But I don’t believe he’s much better now than he was five seasons ago up in Idaho country* ** COAST HAS NEW MEXICAN FIGHTER IN AD Z0TTE SAN FRANCISCO. May SI. Tile coast has another Mexican fighter who threatens to become a cham pion In his class before long. Sammy MeClintic, local fight manager, asserts that there will be two Mexicans hold ing world's championship titles with in the next year. He thinks that Rivers will eventually climb to the top of the heap in the lightweight division and that Ad Zotte will take the featherweight title away from Johnny Kilbane, providing, of course, the latter fights him AlcClintic asserts that Zotte is one of the gamest bo vs lie ever saw and cites a number of instances in which Zotte won ills battles* on his courage alone Zotte is 18 years old, wed- mannered and intelligent ami can figh with both hands in whirlwind fashion. He Is ready to fight any 122-pound boy in the world, Kilhane of course, preferred. VIRGIL GARVIN TAUGHT FALKENBERG FADEAWAY CLEVELAND, O.. May 31.—There ' s m* doubt of Falkenberg owning th- best fadeaway delivery in he American League. In fact there is a question of Mathew son having the fadeaway mastered better than Falk enberg There are no others in a (lass with these two when it comes to this particular brand of deceivers. Fted was taught the famous fadeaway by i rival pitcher—Virgil Garvin, ’he f *mous Navasota Tarantula." wh* wn- mil e Jt timber of the Frookhn dub mi i ir time Falkenberg was with the Pirates. 4 Champs Have Quit Undefeated +•+ +•* +• + +•+ 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: Here Lie the Remains of John Jackson. Hie Victor Caestus Artemqve Repono. Born Sept. 18, 1769. Died Oct. 7, 1845. On the opposite side near the foot 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, T 0 mark the classic dust beneath it laid; "Stay, traveler,” this brief memorial cries. And read the record with attentive eyes. Hast thou a lion’s heart, a giant’s strength 7 Exult not, for these gifts must yield at length. Do health and symmetry adorn thy frame? The mouldering bones below pos sessed the same. Does love, does friendship every step attend ? This man ne’er made a foe, ne’er lost a friend. But death too soon dissolves all hu man ties. And. his last combat o’er, here Jack- 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. never having tasted defeat." * *■ * J OHN GULLY, who ruled as cham pion from 1805 to 1808 retired and became a member of Parliament. He died in his eighty-eighth year, mov ing in the best society of that country at the time of his death. Several of his grandsons have been knighted since. * * • TOM CRIBB. 1809, and Tom Spring. 1 1824, both retired as champions with many cups anil belts won "on the turf." Tom Sayers, but for his single defeat at the hands of Nat Langham. would have had his name on the roll of honor. This about completes the list so far as we can learn. LOOKS LIKE SAFE PREDICTION. John Ganzel, manager of the Rochesters. ventured the opinion last week that the present Brooklyn team would finish in the first division. 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. STAGG IS O. K. AGAIN. CHICAGO. May 31.—Uoach Alonzo A. Stagg, of the University of Chi cago, who has been roughing it in the Colorado mountains for several weeks, will return within a feu days, according to a letter from him yester day. He stated that he has practi cally recovered his health and expects 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.” 12-MILE MARATHON TO BE STAGED IN CHICAGO CHICAGO. ILL., May 31.—A mo.li- fled marathon of twelve miles will be held by the Illinois Athletic Club on June 21. The runners will start at the club house and finish at North western Field, where the Central A. A. U. outdoor field and track cham pionships will be held under the auspices of the same club. REDS HAVE STRATEGY BOARD. CINCINNATI, OHIO. May 31.—The Cincinnati team now has an "ad visory board" in every game. Tinker, Kling and Brown compose the board, and their councils are marked by much discussion as to the best way to bring the team up to date. KOLEHMAINEN WILL NOT RACE. NEW YORK, May 31.—Hanncs Kolehmainen has been barred from the Coney Island Derby, a six-n ii<* scratch road run, which will be con tested on Surf Avenue, on Thursday afternoon. June 5. The chairman the athletic committee of the Citi zens Committee of Coney Island is responsible for the Olympic hero nut being invited to participate.
