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
scratched out 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

hit one a mile. How Walker ever
got it nobody knew. It was so dark
and dusty then that it was hard to
s^e what was happening bo far away.
Then came Agler with what should
lave 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 BALE. 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 and everybody else
in the stand was looking for and with
the Cmtkers 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
battfle-scarred Barons beat out the
.P°Mcans 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 Swindells Angora
early in the action, and he was re
lieved 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.
Ellam was back in the game after a
two weeks’ rest. The box score:
Birmingham.

Begins Tuesday in Montgomery
C HICOPEE, MASS.. May 31.—Ar
thur Pelky. the Chicopee boy
who knocked out Champion
Luther McCarty in Calgary, was born
at Dover. South Ontario. October 27,
1SS3, the oldest in a family of thir
teen children.
Several years ago he came to live
in Chicopee, where he obtained work
as a loomfixer 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,
appearing frequently in private bout?
in which he got his first ring ex
perience.
His first important bout took place
before the Armory A. A in Boston,
December 3. 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.
Enoourr-ged by his showing against
Salisbury, Pelky’s friends succeeded
in getting .lim 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
action only a few minutes that he had
a lot to iearn about boxing. How
ever. he had a terrible right punch
which made no 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’s friends stiil
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, 1921. 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’ fighting.
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
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 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 "w’hite 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 dip*
cussing the oft-mooterl question of a
trade for Sweeney. This time, it is
said, the deal proposed is Egan and
Suggs for Newport Willie. So many
trade? have been debated with Sween
ey as the protagonist that everyone
is skeptical, but this* time there seems
to be a little more fire and a little
l?aS smoke than usual.
STAGG IS O. K. ACAU
CHICAGO, May 31.—Coach 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 few days,
according to *» letter from him yester
day. He stated that he has practi
cally recovered hio health and rxpoets
to be bar!: in time to help with, ‘he
plans for the Chicago intfr.v-oholastic"
meet at Marshal! Field on June 7.
By Tick Tichenor.
T O-DAY golfers from all over the
South are gathering in Mont
gomery for the Southern cham
pionship, which begins 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 wiH 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, I^eigh
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-chumpions—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 Oullom, R. H. Baugh
and young Rollo Steinmehl.
President H. F. Smith will bring
with him from Nashville E. W. Dalev,
F. C. Stahlman, T. I. Webb and Law-
son Watts.
Ted Coy, who can hit a drive ns
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.
* * •
"LIERE we have 45 players*, who, if
11 they start, are bound to get into
tho 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, Stewart. 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 i$ 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 th^
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.
\t 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 IT. S.
G. A. handicap list, and from the re
ports of those who have seen him
play is « fine golfer and one who has
an excellent chance to annex the
Sou’hern title.
Tak.n all in nil. if they come, t’.vs
Trims foursome L® gong ro make
some people sit up and take no Jo.
as they will win some matches and
are to be hard pickings for anybody.
• * •
A TLANTA, be it said in all frank-
1 x 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 championship division,
but none of them are sufficiently
steady to win six matohes in the
field of golfers that will attend this
tournament.
Birmingham is In the very same
fix as Atlanta. True, it ie that young
Rollo Steinmehl made a wonderfm
showing in the recent Birmingham
invitation tournament and proved be
yond the shadow’ of a doubt that ne
has an excellent tournament disposi
tion, which Is a great asset, but in
this tournament he will be called up
on to play a harder course and one
wfrth w'hlch he Is not so familiar, and
in addition to this will be up against
a much stronger field. I look for
hhn 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 year
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 1811 he went to the semi-final,
w’here 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 wrill 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 haa met defeat at
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 has strengthened this
part of his play look out for him.
* • *
I A ST year was the first appearance
of J. E. England, of Little Rock,
in the Southern. He weift to cue
semi-final, where he was beaten by
N el 80*i Whitney. In all of bis
matches prior to that one he showed
a wonderful short game, which 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 t^e
shots, and with the experience of twj
tournaments he must not be entirely
overlooked. Last year he won his first
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 the
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
Stemmehl 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
played from Knoxville, where he was
attending the University of Tennes
see, although his home is in Mem
phis, qualified eleventh last year,
which was the second time he had
entered tho Southern championship.
With an additional year’s experien p
he is likely to upset the dope in sev-
eraUmatches before he Is beaten.
• * •
T OOK over this list: W. R. Stew-
art, Nelson Whitney, R. G. Bush.
Albert Schwartz, Whitney Bouden,
Ellis Knowles. R. H. Connerly, G. V.
Rotan, Bryan Heard, Jack Edrington,
J. E. England, F. G. Byrd, E. W.
Daley. Rollo Steinmehl, H. A. Wright
and R. T. Wilson—and then figure
that there will be forty-eight other
players who will qualify in th>
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.

McCarty Like Stanley Ketchel
Ed Walsh Complains
About Balks Called
Naughton Tells of His Ring Rise
Bv W. W. Naughton.
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 as a rlngsmnn.
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 born at Wild Horse Canon,
near 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 1s still alive, stands
6 feet 6 inches and weighs over 300
pounds. According to Luther, he had
one uncle who measured 7 feet 6
Inches and scaled 500 pounds. Luther
himself stood 6 feet 2 >6 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 mounten
on a broncho.
An Expert With the Lariat.
He was an expert with lariat, hi*
proficiency in that direction enabling
him to transfer his talents to tho
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 tn
seagoing ships.
McCarty saw his 21st year last St.
Patrick’s Day. According to the rec
ord he began his career ns a pugilist
two year? ago. He attracted little
attention until he knocked out thr%e
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,
Tt was some little time prior to
this that McCarty fell in with hie
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 .v
promise of future greatness in n»«
protege, was content to share Luther »
hand-to-mouth existence and wait for
the dawn of better times
First Big Fight With Morris.
McCarty’s first performance of real
importance was when he knocked our.
Carl Morris, the Oklahoma giant, in
three rounds at Springfield in May of
last 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 he
mentioned that Luther was billed io
box Pelky in New York last August.
p,.]ky. 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’s hands.
In the same manner the town or
Calgary has figured strangely in Mc
Carty’s fortunes*. Calgary was the
scene of one of Ills earliest fights.
Luther 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 take
him in hand and advance hls 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 if
was the same Tommy Burns who
promoted ti?e event.
McCarty Successful in West.
McCarty made his name heard
West. He came here under engage
ment to box A1 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 Los
Angeles Here again he triumphed,
and after that he won in handy fash
ion from A1 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 the "White heavyweight" cham
pionship of the world. McCarty, how
ever. was In no harry 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 ho challenged McCarty, but Luth
er declined the issue on the score
that the New York promoters had of
fered unsuitable flnajiclnl terms. Gun
boat Smith agTeed to box Welle, 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 waft
his failure to accept the match with
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 defl
nnd 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 lyos
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 rink and at the
same time comprise*! practical train
ing for the big event on Independence
Day.
He boxed Jim Flynn in Philadelphia
and Frank Moran in New York and
while he outpointed both his oppon
ents the Eastern critics declared that
McCarty did not show championship
form, the Inference being that mi\n\
months of the high life that goes with
a footllght tour of lurge cities had
dulled the edge of hls dash.
The bout with Pelky was to have
been the last of the McCarty string
of ehort bouts. Hls tactics recently,
however, caused doubt to arise as
to what his intentions were tn re
gard to a match on the Fourth. One
report was that he had aoe«pted 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 hie adversaries by
the rapidity of hls glove play. He
was h 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 (\eliver the ball to the batter
and then w’hirl 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 I 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 I do
not.
"Naturally every time that a balk
is called on me I want to know why
ami 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. 1 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 L have a motion that
is mighty effective when it comes to
holding base runners dose 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
KAT.AMAZOO, MICH.. May 31.—
Two years ngo Danny Mannix pitched
the Kalamazoo team Into the cham
pionship of the South Michigan
League with hls good right arm. Last
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 seml-
pro southpaw and expects to rejoin
Kalamazoo next year.
