Sport and Society Section HERALD Sport and Society Section Reds Desert the Cellar, Leaving the Dark Hole For the Boston Braves Fight Called Off 20 Times in One Day Nervous Manager of Hugo Kelly Once Worried Doc Message in Promoting Battle at First Real Fight Was With Willard in 1912. S. ANDREWS. CfAAD THE CUB REPORTER The Boss See This Bossy B.znuss By T. WOULD you like to be a boxing- promoter and have an important contest between two well known fighters called off just 20 times in one day? Well, that is what happened to Doc Message, of Chicago, when he can- ducted the Hugo Kelly-Johnny Thompson match at Racine, a little over a year ago.

Hugo Kelly, one of the best of the middleweights when he was in his prime, had Silvy Ferretti. one of the very excitable Italians as manager, and every one who knows Silvy is aware of his extreme nervousness. Doc Message nade mistake. He put up the weight forfeit for Ferretti while Thompson had deposited his own money. There was no comeback for the doctor, as far as the Kelly end went, and he discovered this fact an hour after having put up the weight forfeit The trouble during the week or ten days previous to the day of the match was nothing as compared with the final hours.

Here is what Doc said: doctors sed the spine, which injured seem possible, to the head were 12 the day of the match Ferretti came to my office and w'anted certain tickets and when refused them he at once declared the contest off. We settled that point, however. A few minutes later he was back and wanted some passes for friends and upon refusal again called it off. Then he wanted to know about the running of the train and because things did not suit him he again used the magic words and called it off. Later Hf' found fault with certain arrangements and repeated and before we had reached Kacine in the afternoon for weighing in, he had called it off and on just.

16 times. Talk about your nervousness! Why it was something fierce and I will never forget the handling of that match. Twice we had run-ins before the time set for the contest at the rink, but we bridged them over again. climax came when the men were in the ring. Silvy objected to the heavy padding of the ring and demanded that it be removed.

When I told him we could not he blurted out: match is I was used to the sound and told him to go ahead, but that the ring would not be touched. We finally pacified him and he agreed to stand for the padding. Then when he got to his corner he discovered that the gloves were not what he liked and was just calling over to say the match was off again when the timekeeper got next to his job and rang the gong. The men were at it in a couple of seconds and Ferretti could not interefere any more. But believe me, I would rather handle 100 matches under different conditions than that There were four deaths in the sporting world the week Luther McCarty, the title holder in the heavyweight ranks died from the effects of a blow over the heart in his fight with Arthur Pelkey, at Calgary, Canada.

Julius Sirn, a young motorcyclist, was killed in a race at Cleveland, Ohio: Vance Fought, a youth 20 years of age. was killed by being hit on the with a pitched ball in a game at Cozad, while a fourth young man was killed in Michigan by being hit with a baseball. Little or no attention was given to i the young men killed in the baseball and a mere mention was made of the youth killed in the motor races, while pages were devoted to the death of McCarty in the ring, which only i goes to prove that there must be un- usual interest in the boxing game. The I promoters who permitted the young man to ride at Cleveland, knowing he was not at his best, were just as responsible as the promoters at Cal- gary who permitted McCarty to go into the ring without a medical ex- animation. In the cases of the young men killed in the baseball games it was a little different, as they were accidents wnthout a doubt.

From all the data at hand there is no doubt that Luther McCarty had no business in the ring that day, as a man in good health could not possibly have succumbed to a blow over the heart or tinder the heart, such as Pel- key delivered while In close. The doc- tors present stated that McCarty had valvular trouble of the heart, but even an examination before the fight might ngt have disclosed the fact Later one of the doctors stated that mat a was caused bv a fractured vertebrae of to a jab on the jaw, the neck. This does not however, as the blows mere jabs, which any ordinary man wouid take without the Robinson, Bat Nelson's former manager? wired me after the fight that it was the most peculiar knockout he had ever witnessed, the men were clinched and that Pelky sent a short blow under the heart, which did not appear at all hard, and Me Car ty collapsed. The moment I saw Mac become pale I knew he was not right and that he was beaten, but never thought for a moment that he was so bad as not to recover. He have had heart trouble very It.

was indeed sad to have McCarty, iust in his prime and on the road to a. fortune, to be counted out that way. He looked the ideal athlete and boxer and his manager, Billy MeCarney, had nursed him along like a mere child. Arthur Pelkey, a young French-Lana- dian, who has made his home in Maine for some years, was not considered a championship possibility until Burns got hold of him about seven 1 years ago. He was first tipped off as i a promising' young heavyweight by I Steve Mahoney, of Boston, as he had won several good bouts about that part of the country.

Then he entered Tom elimination tourney in New York when it was started to find a successor to Jack Johnson. Pelkey won his bouts and later met Jess Willard in New York, fighting a 10 round no-decision draw. This was July 29, 1912. and shortly afterwards he met Soldier Kearns, whom he defeated in six rounds, losing a bout of 10 rounds later to the Soldier. It was then that Tommy Burns sent for him and matched him against himself (Burns) for a tryout.

They boxed six rounds at Calgary. April 2 last, and he made such a favorable impression that Tommy matched him with Andy Morris, a fair heavyweight of Boston. Pelkev knocked Morris out in eight rounds, and the near-championship match with Luther McCarty resulted. Pelkey is a young man in the prime of life, weighs 205 pounds and stands six feet two inches.

LOUIS, June ever the St. Louis Cardinals get a chance to play in the series there is one athlete on the team who says he will not be a bit nervous, but will go on playing just an he does in the regular league games. And this athlete is Mike Mowrey. Mowrey claims that it makes no difference to him how important a contest is.

he never gets nervous. To his mates he is known as Mowrey. The sorrel-topped third baser declares he never will forget the day he broke into the big ring at Cincinnati, quite a few years ago. It was on a Sunday and a double header was being contested. that day I made five said Mike, it never bothered me a bit.

All I would do was to laugh. And the funny part of it all was that not a fan hooted me. Makes Up for Five Errors. making a few bobbles I had almost every one of the fans with me. And just the way I would act ir.

Five errors and five base- hits the day I made my debut in the National league. I laughed during the game, while making those bobbles kicking all around, I did not feel the same way that night.

I was the sorest person on earth and never wanted to see a ball park again, but here I am still at it, and stick until they count 10 on me. talk about series games being tough. Well, I played in one game that was not a championship contest, but one that I think was just as hard fought. was a good years ago when I was with Troy. We had some of our men out and Trenton won the pennant.

The players of my team thought we could beat them and challenged them to one game, the winner of it to be the pennant winner. game was played in one of big league towns, and they beat again. We drew down about apiece for this game, but it was hardest one I ever was Takes Off Hat to Byrne. Although this Mowery person considerable of a third sacker, does not claim to be the best in National league. Instead, he takes his hat to Bobby Byrne, of the rates.

F. Davis, Phone IIS4, Negro Pimilist Is Also Sentenced to Pay $1000 at Liberty on Bond. Chicago, 111., June Johnson, the negro heavyweight champion, has been sentenced to one year and one dav in the state penitentiary at Joliet and fined $1000 for violation of the Mann white slave act. Johnson obtained two weeks in which to prepare a writ of error and the bond of $30,000 on which he had been at liberty since his conviction was allowed to stand. Half a dozen deputy United Slates marshals, who had grouped themselves about Johnson in anticipation of resistance when the prison sentence was given, left the room when judge Carpenter announced that the fighter could continue temporarily at liberty.

The sentence to the state penitentiary is the result of a recent order from ashington that all persons convicted in the federal court in this district should be sent to the state prison, owing to the crowded condition of the federal prison at Leavenworth. Johnson left the court room declaring he would not give up his fight for liberty and if the writ of error were denied, he would make further appeals. has been hard to determine what punishment should be meted out in this said judge Carpenter, in passing sentence. have had many cases where violations of the Mann act have been punished with a fine only. We have had other cases where defendants have been sentenced to one or two years in the penitentiary.

circumstances of this case have been aggravating. The life of the defendant, by his own admissions, has not been a mOiTtl one. The defendant is one of the best known men of his race and his example has been far reaching. sentence shall be that the defendant shall be confined a year and a day in the Joliet penitentiary and that he iiUall be fined 1000 The court denied a request of counsel for Johnson that the negro be allowed to serve ttie term in the city Bridewell instead of the state's prison. Johnson was convicted May 10 of having paid for the transportation of Belle Schreiber from Pittsburg to Chicago.

NEW POLO TEAM WILL DEFEND CUP New York, June American Polo association has announced the following lineup of the American team which will defend the international cup at Meadowbrook Tuesday: Number 1, L. E.

Stoddard; number 2. Devereaux Milburn: number 3. Foxhall Keene; back. Malcolm Stevenson. A more sweeping change in the lineup of the cup defenders could hardly have been made.

Not onlyy have three members of the crack team of 1911 been entirely eliminated from this team, but Milburn has been shift 'd from to No. 2. Harry Payne resignation as captain is Implied by the announcement that Foxhall Keene will sut ceed him both as captain and at No. 3. Both the Waterbury brothers have gone by the board.

IOWA WRESTLER DEFEATS OHIOAN WITH TOE HOLD Lincoln, June Breedlove, a lightweight wrestler; of Council Bluffs, Iowa, defeated John Billiter, of Toledo, Ohio, claiming the lightweight championship of Ohio. shoulders were not pressed to the mat. but Tie surrendered to a toe hold after an hour and ten minutes of struggle. Bill iter was too weak to continue the match. HILADELPHIA, June Connie Mack, the thin tactician, who is guiding the Athletics, has set high records in the matter of preparing material for future use whenever any of his regulars give indications of weakening.

An instance of foresight in this regard came in the sale of Paddy Livingston to the Cleveland club. Six months before Paddy was let out by Connie, that clever manager declared that the ensuing season would be the last for one of his capable that this player was gradually losing his throwing power. And when Livingston was let out Jack Lapp had been so well trained in the Mack school of baseball that he stepped right into shoes. As a matter of fact. Lapp hart really displaced Livingston as second Philadelphia catcher the previous fall.

Of the 1911 championship' winners Mack has cut loose from tho following: Outfielders, Hartsel and Bris Lord, catcher Livingston, pitch- ers Morgan, Danforth. Long, Martin, Krause and Russell, and utility infielder Derrick. Hartsel, after long years ff 1 service under Connie, is now managing the ToltMo club. Lord drifted to the minors, and is now back in the majors for his fourth chance at big league ball. This time he is with the Boston Nationals.

Paddy Livingston is catching occasionally for Toledo. Cy Morgan, whose good work did much in winning two flags for Connie, is now pitching for the Kansas City club; Kraus is with the Portland club, of the Pacific Coast league; Danforth is hurling for Jack Dunn's Baltimore club, and Derrick, after a season in minors, is now with the New Highlanders. How many of those now making up the Philadelphia regulars will drop out after this season? And will Connie Mack have the men to take their places? All past dope indicates that every man forced out by the nerve racking place of major league baseball will be replaced by one just as good. It's a habit Connie has. BATTERY C.
