Great Falls takes the pen nant with Sait Lake a» the conten der. SPORTING COMMENT w' By Ed W. Smith. -HY is it that the big men of the ring, the heavyweight.*, have been the pests that have stirred up trouble and more or lea* have always been the disturbing element In having the game stopped in various place*’ You've noticed, haven't you, that big fel low’* usually are concerned when trouble starts'.’ This idea is sug gested bv the "confession'' made by Arthur PtelkyVthe man w ho wna in the ring with Luther McCarty w lien the latter dropped dead in a Calgary ring. Pelky says IPs battle with Tommy Burns, n six-round af fair of last March, was a 'frame' and that It was previously re hearsed several times Burns later managed Pelky and a abort time ago announced that he intended to lake him to Europe and possibly 'gel on a match with Jack Johnson • • • F OLLOWING recent fatalities «n the ring this ' confession.” even U Is after war da found to have no foundation, is going to do a whole lot of harm. Unfortunately, the target of Pelk' » remarks, who makes vehement dental to th» whole thing, has been mixed up in pecu liar looking affairs before and In stantlv that old scandal out in Los Angeles between Tommy Burns and Jack O’Brien, of Philadelphia, is brought tn mind when the former's connection with this latest off color scandal Is uncovered Bums and O’Brien were matched out there and later development* were to the effect that Burns had agreed to let O'Brien stay the distance or Ut him win or something of the kind. As they were ready to start the content Burns advised O'Brien that the battle would have to be on the level O'Brien thereupon made a desperate effort to ha\e the bets called off. but failed and the ring sole scandal lhat ensued is still being discussed out that way • • • OCANDAL has trailed Burns in v other directions There was a row when he failed to battle Rob Fitzsimmons at Esaington. Pa., and there was much sour talk around here when Mike Schreck was bat tling at his beat and Tommy re fused to meet him. Nasty telegrams were produced to ehow that Burns wanted to "talk it over'' with John \\ .lie but a 1 of this was forgot ten when Burns won the heavy weight championship by defeating Marvin Han. • • • T HERE’S an old rtngaide saying that the "bigger they are the harder they fall " In the light of re cent events well have to change that to read "The bigger they arc. the less courage they have.” At least the assumption is that fixer* are entirely .acking in courage or e!.*o they wouldn't want to fix Good little men like Bat Nelson, Ad Wol- cap' Freddie Welsh.

Willie Ritchie, and dozens of others we could name, have al- way s been content to otand on their • wn merits and fight their beet losing if they must, but always losing Honorably. VT08T notable of all the aoan- * VI rialou* tlghi* of the rlnc that I entailed a lot of suspicion have been among the bigger men. There was an awful stencli following the night that Big McYey jumped into the ring the night Jim Corbett and Tom Sharkey were boxing and lost the | fight for Corbett on a foul. The facts of the Wyatt Karp decision in San Francisco the night Sharkey Is supposed to have been beaten by Bob Fitzsimmons on a foul are stlil fresh In the minds of those who follow such matters, to say nothing of the scandal that followed the Jim Corbett-Kid McCoy encounter at the expiration of the boxing law in New York in 1899 * • • ’"THERE was much trouble over * the Jack Root-Tommy Ryan battle in Philadelphia and more recently almost everybody will re call that scandal came out of the Jack Johnaon-Stanley Ketchel bat tle on the -oast, duritig which Johnson "took” a knockdown from 1 his opponent when it didn't look j possible that Ketchel could knock I him down with the aid of a base. r>all # bat. So it looks as if the mon umental faking has been done among the big fellow*, though doubtless there are many entirely honest and upright men trying to battle their way into h prominent place 1n that division Probably there are a lot of rhady boys among the minor class** too. but they cer tainly never pulled off things aa rotten a* acme of those shown by the heavies. • • • IT BEHOOVES those Athletics to ■ Mack ball team ran not lose many more game®, although they can continue to do w> safely unless the Cleve land bunch braces and win* now and then while the Sox and a few other teams are taking vigorous w a Hops at the Philadelphia gang. The Naps certainly have wilted sad ly under the present strain, worse even than did Mack's crew They haven’t shown a high degree of courage, that’s sure * • • THE end of the baseball races is * a bit too near ua to prove very exciting One league or the other may pull a close finish, but it isn't likely .
