T * RAINING for a contest Is a very Important matter. I have learn- - ed that condition Is half a bat- tlF. Therefore, one cannot give this sitbject any too much consideration. Fftr a ohamplonship contest, at least si* weeks Is needed to perfect one’s wind. July 4 will be the date of my next contest. Beginning In Seattle. 1 will take my road runs regularly * every morning In the afternoons and evenings, at the theater, I will get all the gymnastic work necessary In dplng my turn on the stage, which consists of boxing and other gymna sium work. Keeping regular hours, doing your routine v ork regularly, is one of the strictest rules of my manager, Billy Nolan, who is a past master in the conditioning of athletes. Never can I forget the superb condition he land ed me in the ring when Wolgast lost his title pn Thanksgiving Day. • • • X 'OLAN is a crank on training, and watches and times every move you ma*e from the time you get up until bedtime. Regularity is his mot to. Food is an important element in a training camp. No greasy or high ly seasoned foods are permitted. ’ Takes, pastry or fried meats and fresh bread or biscuits are barred during training periods. Ho from now on my next three weeks on the road will be in strict training. After my week In Portland, or which ends June 2, I will lose no ’ time getting to California, where we * will go up in the mountains of Lake County, to my manager’s ranch. My sleeping is done out in the open air; “ my companions are the saddle horse and hunting dog. This is the one place to rest, and for two weeks it will be rest, while 1 will have plenty f of exercise, it will be so different ^ from the kind I have had to go o through for the last seven months. J Everythin* is different—the foods of t the coarsest variety. Practically 1 everything that is eaten comes off j the 1,200-acre ranch. * TOURING my stay all of the meat ;% *--* and fish that I eat Will be of the <^game variety, as It is no particular -^tffort for me to catch a mess of trout v.any time or shorn game or birds on v the ranch, where Nolan maintains a v preserve. V; My greatest benefits are derived J^from being in the opes air at all » times. Think of it—sleeping, eating J a«d being in the open air all hours jjfrof the day. &.• If necessity demands weight re- § during, the greatest weight-reducing ,vyexercise and appliances in the world ; are on the farm. A large hay barn, '"rapable of holding several tons of ^ loose hay, and a couple of good forks $ comprise the paraphernalia necessa- ,\ ry in this rural gymnasium. Once ^%ou take your stand in the center of SNhe hay that is being forked to you. v"]fsrspiration will come from every J jjfcur of your body. 1 have tried it, cTnd no Turkish bath produces quick- w>r or better reults. June is the '''month that the stock barns must be tilled. If you want the sweat, you sjknow the place to get It. . I am counting the days that will Svland me in Lake County. This is J. Where my heavy and actual training c took place for my championship bat- £ tie with Wolgast. Just a few weeks n there will enable me to he In the 4 best possible shape for my next bat- ^ tle, on July 4.

BASEBALL LEAGUE TO BE FORMED IN EUROPE f LONDON, May 31.—Richard O Klegln, famous fight promoter, has just announced an international base ball league, to begin playing the first week in June. Teams have already been formed in London and Paris, and the proposed league will include also Beilin. Brus sels, Copenhagen. Monte Carlo, Milan and Nice.

W. 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 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 born at Wild Horse Canon, near Lincoln, Neb. His father was Irish and his mother Scotch. Her father was half Indian. So far is stature and bulk are concerned the McCarty family boasted giants. Lu ther’s fathevr, who Js 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% 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 Lariat. H«* was an expert with lariat, his 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 he began his career ns 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 McCarney. While peeking an opportunity to win his spurs McCarty experienced many of the hardships which abound 1n su.'h Instances, and McCarney, who saw promise of future greatness in hu protege, was content to share Luther’s 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 out Carl Morris, the Oklahoma giant, In three rounds at Springfield In May of last year. McOarnev. 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 be mentioned that Luther was billed to 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 tights. 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 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 hack 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 her** under engage ment to box A1 Kaufman, the con tes’t taking place at the Eighth-s treet a ren a last Ootol jer.

May 31.— Two years ago Danny Mannix pitched the Kalamhzoo team into* the cham pionship of the South Michigan League with his 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 semi- pro southpaw and expects to rejoin Kalamazoo next year. A TIP FOR BATTERS. inffeide? Heine Zimmerman, of the Cubs, attributes his batting ability to golf—the baseball looks so huge after whanging at the golf ball. There’s a tip for batters In this, if they ran see it. If they’ll practice swinging at peas they’ll bat at a percentage of a million. O’Rourke, of New York, had touted j us one of the most likely Amerl- i can heavyweights developed in years. For defeating Falser McCarty re- I reived the McCarty belt emblematic | of the “White heavyweight” cham- i pionshipof the world. McCarty, how ever. was in no hurry to defend his newly gained laure’s. He claimed that he hud 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 soot * 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 waft his failure to accept the match witb 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 defi 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 and while he outpointed both his 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 a 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 Mhort bouts. Ills 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 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 was a clean fighter and entertained chivalrous feelings toward a beaten opponent. Boasting 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 Wllliard 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. Ho is a big-bodied, powerful fellow and more than one expert haw 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 Wciser, two rival Idaho teams. Higginbotham, later of the Cubs, was* pitching for Pocatello, and Jacques Frounier, now of the White Sox. was catching. The twirler of the Welser squad was a young chap named Waller Johnson now doing time on the Washington Senators. “Believe me, Johnson had as much speed as he has to-day.” said Frou nier, 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 31.—The coast has another Mexican fighter who threatens to become a cham pion injiis class before long. Sammy McCllnttc, local tight manager, asserts that there will be two Mexicans hom 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, tile latter tights him. McClintlc asserts that Zotte is one of the gamest bovs he ever saw and cites a number of instances in which Zotte won his battles on his courage alone. Zotte is 1S years old, well- mannered ami intelligent jtnd can figh with both hands in whirlwind fashion. He is ready to fight any 122-pound boy in the world, Kilbane of course, preferred. VIRGIL GARVIN TAUGHT FALKENBERG FADEAWAY CLEVELAND, O., May 31.—There is no doubt of Falkenberg owning the best fadeaway delivery in ‘he American League. In fact there is a question of Mathewson having th* fadeaway mastered better than Falk enberg. There are no others in a class with these two when it comes to this particular brand of deceivers. Fred was taught the famous fadeaway b> i rival pitcher—Virgil Garvin, the famous “Xavasota Tarantula." who v\ is once a member of the Brooklyn 'Tub at the time Falkenberg was with the Pirates. • 4 Champs Have Quit Undefeated +b-i- +•+ John Jackson First Title Holder C HICOPEE, MARS.. May 31.—Ar thur Pelky. the Chicopee boy who knocked out Champion Duther McCarty In Calgary, was born at Dover, South 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 handy 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. 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. Encouraged by his showing against Salisbury, Pelky's friends succeeded in getting hint 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 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's friends still maintain that he was the victim of a raw deal by the referee. The New 7 ork sporting writers, however, were unanimous In declaring that Pelky had whipped Benedict. Stopped Jim Barry. Pelky next appeared before the Northern Berkshire A. £. 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, i912. 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 Pelkv 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 tlie 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 Pelkv 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 Gandll and 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 to show their feelings when both are in a game. Gandil to date has the laugh on Plank, for he always hits his offerings hard. Clever as Plank appears to lie against other members of the Wash ington tram, Gandil seems able to anticipate him and he always hits the ball hard when he is pitching. BOSTON MAY BUILD YACHT TO DEFEND AMERICA'S CUP j BOSTON. May 31.—Rear Commo dore Charles H. W. Foster, of the Eastern Yacht Club, suggested to the three leading yacht clubs of Boston to-day that a Boston cup defender, built by a syndicate of leading naval architects of this city and backed by the three clubs or by popular sub scription. be put into the race for the America's cup as a defender. By Otto C. Floto. 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 gratify the curiosity of one who fol lows 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.” * * * JN order to give a correct answer to this query, we are forced to carefully peruse Boxiana from the date of the first battle of record in 1719, when James Flgg 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: the Roman records dust beneath honesty and perseverance, and he must distinguish himself. The choice of a profession is the puzzle of boy 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 lasted defeat." * * * JOHN GULLY, who ruled as cham- J 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 CR1BB, 1809, and Tom Spring, * 1824, both retired as champions with many cups and 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 Rocheslers, ventured the opinion last week that the present Brooklyn team would finish in the first division. WALTER JOHNSON IS IN NEED OF A SECRETARY WASHINGTON, May 31.—Walter Johnson is really in need of a secre tary. His mall has reached such pro portions that it takes much of his dme answering it, and it would keep a stenographer busy for hours to take care of his correspondence. Johftson receives requests of all kinds. One morning this week the first mail brought him over sixty let ters. Boys and men write, some con gratulating him on his success, others complimenting him on his habits, and still others for Information as to how 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 make it a point to answer them all,” is the way Johnson sizes it up. STAGG IS O. K. AGAIN. CHICAGO, May 31.—Coach Alonzo A. Stagg, of the University of Chi cago, who has been roughing it in the Colorado m mntains for several weeks, will return within a few 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. 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. ‘MATHEWS0N 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 has absolute control of the ball at all time^V 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 into the National League has been almost uncanny. In picking the star of the Giants I 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 modi- tied 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. KOLEHMAINEN WILL NOT RACE. NEW YORK, May 31.—Hannes Kolehmainen has been barred from the Coney Island Derby, a six-mile scratch road run, which will be con tested on Surf Avenue, on Thursday afternoon, June 5. The chairman of the athletic committee of the Citi zens Committee of Coney Island is responsible for the Olympic hero not being invited to participate. He be lieves that the Finn is too fast for the field that will start and he would win as he pleased.
