Five teams will be in the long grind. And what a wrangle the ten riders had trying to get matched up! Finally Morty Graves suggested that the partners be found by a drawing Manager Noon Hudson put all th' numbers in his new straw lid and the result was: Graves and McNeil, Schwartz and Lockner.

No rider will be allowed to remain on the track over twenty successive minutes. But eadh rider can call for his partner as often as he desires. The partners who are not racing will remain in front of the paddock. The partner riding must drop off the track and touch his teammate on the shoul der before the latter can take up the racing. It sure will be a thrilling event Jf all goes well. The Motordrome Sweepstakes is the second feature, event. All tile riders will start, five in each qualify ing heat. The qualifying hea:s will be over a one-mile course, while th*- final will be two miles. Harry Glenn, who defeated Schwartz the other night, will meet Luther in a match race.

Pelky in No Hurry to Fight +•+ -hod- d*e-F +•+ Theatrical Tour Awaits Champ Bv W. W. Naught on. S AN FRANCISCO, July 28.—Ar thur Pelky. the new white heavyweight champion, pos. sesnes most of the facial characteris tics of the professional pugilist, but it can scarcely be s.iii that he has a lighting eye Now. do not misunderstand me There is nothing in Pelky's look to suggest that he Is lacking In courage, but, sizing hint tip as he sstt In my den veBterday, I could not help think Ing how different he was from other brand-new champions I had known In most cases the eye of a freshly- fledged champ glints with a mixture of pride and defiance. If looks could be construed into words the look to which I refer would read, "I can lick anything that walks in tw'O shoes." Pelky's eyes are large and dark— the eyes of a man who broods To me it almost seemed as if the shadow of that fearful experience he had in the ring at Calgary was still upon him The suspicion was confirmed bv his evident reluctance to t'alk about the recent past and his palpable inclination to talk about ringmen other than himself. To the majority of champions the recital of how they won their spurs gives unbounded pleasure. To Pelky the recollection brings a shudder • • • P ELKY is tall, squarely built and has a strong Jaw and large, firm ly-knit hands. He is big enough to tackle anything in human snape. He is here with Tommy Rurns, once world’s champion in his own right, but now fallen into flesh and quite content to be known as a connois seur. Tommy ip PMky’s manager, and the manner in which Burns discovered that Pelky was worth managing was not the least interesting thing he had to tell. Pelky went to Calgary to box six rounds with Burns. While the affair was in progress the beauties of Pelky's character as a fighter unfold ed to Tommy. At the end of the bout Tommy was all in. and an hour later Tommy was* Pelky’s manager. “We are in no hurry to make matches,’’ said Burns "We have twelve weeks’ work in the t heat ere. beginning at Pantages next week, and in the meantime the Gunboat Smith-Jim Flynn match will be de cided and the winner w'll stand forth as a challenger of Pelky. If Smith wins and I think he will ’’ "Pardon me." said Pelky in a soft- voiced way. "I think Flynn will de feat Smith." “W^I, anyway, you'll be ready to sign with the winner." resumed Tom my'. "And if it is Smith you’ll like it all the better You have always want ed to box' him, haven’t you?" Pelky nodded his approval. * * • ¥3 URNS and Pelky were reminded ** that Sam Langford, the negro pugilist. Is back from Australia, and were asked how overtures for q Ptl- kv-Langford match would be regard ed. "1 want it to he understood that 1 will never box a colored man," said Pelky "Some time ago when the promoters of the country decided to discourage the making of mixed matches and contests were arranged to decide who was the white heavy weight champion. I thought it one of the best moves ever made in pugilism. I am still of that way of thinking I call myself the white champion, and feel that I have every right to do so. but if the public took the Kami that l ought to accept matches with negroes. I’d be willing to drop out of the game entirely.” * • • THINK he’s right," said Burn?* 1 "Of course I fought a negro when I met Jack Johnson, but if I had my time to go over again he would wait a long time for a match. To tell the truth, I never wanted to light Johnson 1 was offered big money by the National Club of Lon don. and 1 turned it down. When I went to Australia and the question came up again, I said that I wanted every cent of $30,000 before I’d go into the ring with Johnson. It was a lot of money, but McIntosh produced it. and then there was no getting out of it, ho far as I was concerned. “And talking of public opinion in such matters. I have lived to learn that a fighter should not lay too much stress upon public opinion It shifts and veers too much. Before I boxed Johnson I used to receive letters taunting me with being afraid to meet the negro. After I went againsi him and lost my title the letters still came in. But their tone had chang ed. I was reviled for having given a negro a chance at the champion ship." * * • y\7 HEN matchmaking is In order. * ’ It is just possible that a trip to Australia will be included in the Burns-Pelky itinerary. In response to :< message from out yonder. Burns has cabled that Pelky will be willing to take the journey and engage in a series of three fights. Tommy has named as po-'sible op ponents fer Pelky: Jim P'vnn Jess Willard. Jim Coffey, A1 Palzer and Gunboat Smith. Sports and Such B. JOHNSON 'S RAGE. (7n one week.)

M ORDECAI BROWN is not through. In fact, it looks ae if Manager Joe Tinker, of the Reds, raid very true words when in the spring he claimed that the three fingered wonder :ill had a lot of good baseball left in him True. Brown is not hurling the kind of ba’l he did several seasons ago. but just the same. Johnny Evers could use him at present, and to good advan tage. After Brown had helped the Cubs to four pennant? and two world's championships, his arm went to the bad in 1912. When the off season came. C. Webb Murphy thought he would not need the three-fingered boy any more, and shipped him to the minors. But Joe Tinker, new manager of the Reds, thought different. Joe was with "Brownie” a long time, and when he was shipped to the A. A., he and Garry Herrmann arranged a deal whereby Miner would come back to the National League. And it looks as if they made no error in securing Brown. Beats Old Mates Twice. Maybe now C Webb Murphy and Johnny Evers see they made a big mistake in releasing the former star of the Cubs. Recently when the Reds were playing the Bruins, the three- fingered hurler took a pair of games from Johnny Evers’ gang, one of them being a shutout, in which only six base knocks were made off him. When Tinker secured Brown, it was for the simple reason to use him as a coach for his young mound- men. He was carried until Mav 1 before he made his appearance on the firing line. Since the hot weather arrived, though. Brown’s ~ood right arm seems to be as good as ever, and he is taking his re«””lar turn on the mound for his club. Has Good Record. Although Brown is not winning as regular or working quite as often as he did a few years back, he has a record which is far better than the one owned bv his club. Miner has won seven games and lost six this campaign. That's a per centage of .538. The Reds own a mark of .380 so it can be seen that Brownie is 158 points ahead of his team. So far thi6 season Brown has ap peared in 22 games, being used as a relief hurler most of the time. In :hese 22 contests he has worked 95 innings.

Hut one must he a pirate bold Ami trim the landsman of his goli To realise that dream. Every time a fight manager offers to bet $10,000 one is led to wonder whether Confederate money still is being used. A doctor having discovered that no bones are broken in Heinie Zim's ankle, the Inference is that his ankle bones are made of the same substance as his head. An X-Ray examination of the Great Zlm reveals the fact that his tempera inent is suffering from a malignant at tack of gout. When one learns that Hal Chase has made five boots i.n one game, one will not be surprised to hear that Joe Dunn has swiped five bases in the same in terval. The latest scandal In the Sport of Kings in England merely reflects the spirit of the times. A king these days is looked upon generally as a nine-spot. It is claimed in England that the prev alence of foul riding there is due to the American style of wearing short stir rups. Even our English brethren have learned to pass the buck. Bill Peet. a Washington scout, says he discovered Joe Boehling. and seven American League teams have discovered that Bill Peet is some discoverer. Suggestion to Milwaukee sporting editors: Why not organize a few boxing clubs? It still is early to pass Judgment on Laverne Chappelle but up to date he has earned approximately $1.75 of his purchase price.

Connie Mack said: *'Coomh8 is back!** All the rest said : "Oh!'* - Charles Dryden. H onorable Horace fogel is getting ready to absorb bo f h big circuits and put the mag nates on the bum. He has said it, and what Horace savs goes. As the present major leagues are a joke Horace will start a lieutenant-colonel league for a change grabbing off all the star talent-now employed grinding out tile national pastime. The new organization should be ac complished without much trouble Mr. Fogel talked himself out of the old league, and he is now’ engaged asking himself into the new one, or lieutenant-colonel league, to dis tinguish it from the old majors. Horace has his towns for the circuit booked out already yet once. Thev are New Yj^rk. Philadelphia, Balti more, Pittsburg. Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis. That makes seven, and they need one more. The eighth city will be either Boston. Indianapolis or Kansas City. If Horace included both Boston and Kansas City, look what a fine jump the athletes would have from Boston to play a Sunday game at Kansas City. Backers cf New League Named. The financial backers of the lieu tenant-colonel league ere said to be Otto Steifel. of St. Louis, and Jeff Livingston, the well-known pickle ex pert of Cincinnati. Mr. Steifel is be hind the Federal League at St. Louis, and Mr Livingston is in the pickle and tomato ketchup line at Cincy. They are to furnish the money, and Horace will supply the words. It is claimed that Horace has landed ail the stars worth having in the two major circuit?, but the statement is discredited, because Tom Needham has not been signed by the lieutenant- colonels. We are inclined to believe that if there were anything in the new’ organization. Mr. Needham would not have been overlooked. If Tom is not a star, where could thev find one? Be that as it may, the lieutenant- colonel league will be in full opera tion next spring, and the magnate.* of the tw’o so-called major leagues will be begging for peanut concessions and hot dog stands in the park? of the new baseball body. They made a goat of Horace, and now he is get ting back at them. His Investigation Sidetracked. His investigation of the trust was sidetracked, and just for that the Na tional and American must get out of business for all time. By next Fourd of July we will hear of Pittsburg. New York and Cleveland selling their new steel stands for old iron. It is an aw ful picture to contemplate, but the magnates showed Horace no mercy, • and he Is determined not to snare them in the hour of retribution. Otherwise Horace is a mighty good fellow’. P. S.—Mr. Fogel has prepared an advance statement of 8.000 words In reference to the new’ league, w’hich statement was to have been released simultaneously with a lot of papers on July 7. , Double P.

"If the National Commission de cided that I should pay a fine I will not do it." said Berry. Charles Arbogast, a catcher, is ex pected to join the Los- Angeles team to-morrow.
