MSMfcJSSi Luther MeCarty Showed in Els Bout hut Lacks Last Night That He Has the Punch, Experience. KONEY'S ODD RECORD AT THE BAT.

a vinitn uau yuu ramer ue, a oruoKiya pucuer or go uhuiub i a pucuei yy I for the Brooklyn ball team In these days when the jinx Is fat and sassy ana tne iuck Is running around in circles, out steadily circling back toward eighth place, 1b as unhappy as a professional re rat BY "BICE." IM STEWART, the Brooklyn heavyweight, last night, at the Garden, won decisively from' Luther MeCarty, the man who gained fame by knocking out Carl Morris. But Stewart did not have a walkover In the ten rounds of milling. He had to put up the best tight! he has shown for a year and use every thing he bad In stock to keep the big fellow from Springfield. from knock Ing him out. Mccarty's "has the mak lngs." He is neither a fool nor a quitter.

and possesses a potential punch that should rank him as one of the most promising white heavies In the game when he has had the experience of about a dozen such bouts as be went through with Stewart. Can Stand Punishment. MeCarty can take a world of punishment and recuperate quickly. He is entirely different from the stolid, animal-llke Carl Morris, who was utterly Indifferent to pain, not so much from a sense of gameness as from the fact that he appeared to have an extremely low order of nervous development for a human being. MeCarty knew he was hit and had the Bense and the quick-thinking powers to attempt to avoid as many blows as he could with hiB limited knowledge of boxing.

The paint was that he was young, and strong and hardy and courageous and shook off the effects of the blows almost as soon as they were delivered. Stewart had trouble In getting in his punches to the Jaw because of a trick MeCarty had in holding his head. The result was that Stewart must have hit him fifty times on the forehead over the left eye, but that member showed few effects of the mauling and McCarty's physiognomy was not materially changed when the debate was over. His Hp was cut early in the proceedings, and a Judicious uppercut to the mouth now and then prevented It from closing, but It was a minor Injury and the novice MeCarty received far less punishment than the much-vaunted Knockout Brown takes from his fellow lightweights every time he meets a boy of any quality. Can Learn to Hit.

At present MeCarty knows nothing about the finer points of hitting, but there Is no reason why he should not learn. He has symptoms of a straight punch, but the general comment was that he had not yet acquired the art of "sharpshoot-)ng" with his left, which places him at a distinct disadvantage when he wiBhes to spar for time. The quick, snappy Jab and short swing are not sufficiently consptc-lous In his repertoire to make them stand out In relief, and when he hooks a blow over It Is more accident than design. On the other hand, he Is by no means one of the wild-swinging, rampageous scrappers who bore lovers of a scientific strife by constantly repeating the same tactics and are a mark for a clever man who keepB his head. McCarty's best tricks are a sort of rushing drive to the head or body, a dangerous uppercut and an occasional swing.

Against dubs of the caliber he has mot in the two years or so he has been fighting these tactics would work all right, but Stewart was too wise for him and would net let him come at him In a manner that would make the Missourlan's attack effective Stewart Fought Well. Stewart more than pleased the crowd of ten thousand spectators who packed the Garden and caused the ticket office to be closed before the first preliminary. By the way, the Garden management was vastly astonished at the way In which the heavyweight bout and that In which Freddie Hicks outpointed Willie LewlB drew. Stewart showed more cleverness and a better head that he has been wont to do and adopted the only safe policy he could follow with a man like MeCarty. He boxed him throughout the ten former when everything Is reformed.

Take the dizzy career of Ed Konetchy, the St. Louis flrBt baseman. In the game Brooklyn lost to St. Louis yesterday. In the first Inning he whiffed woefully with two men on bases and one out.

When he came to bat in the third, with two on bases and one. out, Knetzer naturally had the right to think he had something on the big fellow, wherefore he tried to fool him again. Konetchy responded by cracking a home run to loft -center. As such accidents will happen, Knetzer again sought to deceive Konetchy in the fifth, with a man on second. He was perturbed, not to Bay shocked, when Konetchy whacked another homer to exactly the same place.

The murderous biffer came up again in the sixth Inning, and Curtis fanned him without trouble. In the ninth Konetchy was credited with a scratch single through Fisher. What is a pitcher going to do In a case like that? Walk such a man or pitch to him? ranking working their hardest. The doctor took the first set at I. Hall and Braly then forced the game 1 the second with such speed that they humbled their opponents at 61.

Then followed the set of the match. Games followed service until 6 all, when Rosen-baum and Palmer, leading the attack, and driving Braly and Hall to the back of the court, won at 8 Easy Matches In the Singles. All of the singles matches were won in straight sets, with the exception ot the one in which Charles M. Bull, beat Wallace F. Johnson at 7 6, 36, 64.

Bundy romped through two sets with J-S. Cushman at 61, 61, and McLoughlin had an even eaBler time with Palmer at 6 1, 0. The summary: New York Stat championship singles 'fourth round) Thomas C. Bundy defeated James S. Cushman.

Among Ibem are Ave who represented this coun try In Sweden. This strict observance of the rule that athletes must pay their dues or automatically suspend themselves Is following out the recent policy, ot the club, that the athletfc members of the exclusive club must be to a certain extent self-supporting. Ben Adams, Simon Glllls, Gordon Dukes, Fred Kaiser and C. C. Chllds are the Olympic athletes who are now under the ban.

Ben Adams is one of the famous Adams brothers, who took a prominent part In the Jumps at Stockholm. He won three points for Uncle Sam. C. C. Chllds took third In the 56-pound weight event.

The others did not figure. The above-mentioned members are only a few of those who have been barred by the club. While It Is likely that many of them will pay their Indebtedness and return to good standing, it Is thought that come of them are against the club taking such quick action, and will remain out. Bernle Wefers, the Mercury-foot trainer, has been working hard to get the matter of dueB straightened out, but from a conversation between him and a prominent bicycle rider who has been wearing the winged foot emblem for some time he is not having success In all cases. This pedal pusher declared to Wefers, when he was asked to settle up, that he did not intend to pay $10 a year for the privilege of wearing the New York C.

emblem on his shirt. STADIUM TRACK COMPLETED. Vailsburg Cinder Path Beady for Olympians and Professional Championship.

Namm and Son at Washington Park, on August 17, practically all of the best known metropolitan athletes will compete for costly Drlzes. Already entries have been re ceived from members of the New York Athletic, Irish-American Athletic, National Athletic, Mohawk Athletic and other clubs.

In the dashes and relays, the Olympic champions will make their first appearance In America since bringing home the laurels from the other side. The keen rivalry between the clubs gives good reason for belief that records will be smashed in these events. Among the personal entries so far received are those from J. J. McNamora, A.

Peppers, Fred Bellairs, Eddie Frick, Billy Powers, Myles McHugh, Jim Riley, Burt Dwyer, Joe Gilbert, Tom Dwyer and Sam Ken-nard. The order of events Is as follows: Three Hundred-yard trial heats; special relay; run handicap; 300-yard run semi-final; interdepartment store girls' relay; 300-yard run final; club re lay; three-mile run handicap. After the regular A. A. U.

Recently at a meet held at Celtic Park, under the most adverse conditions for fast work, with the track heavy from recent rains, he covered 600 yards from the honor mark In the remarkably fast time of 1:13 flat He has beon racing consistently since and seems to improve every time out Frick will start from scratch in the 400 and 800 yard events at the games of the Eccentric Firemen to be held on Sun day, August 18, which Is the next big event on the athletic programme, and his friends are looking for some new figures.

Many thought that Martin Sheridan, one time the peer of discus throwers and all-round champion, was returning to tho game when he won the discus throw last week. As a matter of fact, he once more donned his athletic togs at the request of the chief fireman at Pollco Headquarters, and declared that he Is In earnest when he says that he has retired fo: good.

MINOR LEAGUE RECORDS After what are expected to be four stirring battles on the Crescent Athletic Club courts this afternoon, the semi-final brackets In the lawn tennis tournament for the championship of New York will be filled and tomorrow will see the elimination of two contenders, thus allowing two days before the finalists will be called upon to clash for the title on Saturday. The deciding of four contests yesterday has coupled Bundy with Baggs, Mclaughlin with Mahan and Bull with Hall. Little and Williams are the other occupants of the fifth round positions. The same rapid progress msrked the doubles so that it has been made possible to play the semi-finals in that portion of the tournament on Thursday. Tennis of the most stirring kind is sure to be seen at Bay Ridge this afternoon.

By victories yesterday Baggs and Voshell will meet Inman and Behr, and Bull and Martin will oppose Washburn and Mahan in the third round. MoLoughlin and Bundy, who defeated Hackett and Williams yesterday, will have as their next opponents Little and Touchard, the national champions, but the match not scheduled for decision until tonorrow. And then there is a possibility of Little and Touchard defaulting, because the two pairs are booked to meet at Newport on August 20 in the challenge round tor the national title. The eagerly anticipated Hacket and Wllliams-Bundy and McLoughlin match rpsiiTterl In a trlumnh for thft Westerners at 64, 63. There was not a time dur ing the entire struggle that the new combination composed of the former national champion and the present national clay court champion appeared to have a chance against the Pacific coast experts.

Only twice were Hackett and Williams In the lead once at 2 to 1 and again at 3 to 2 in the second set. McLoughlin Slightly Unsteady. Had McLoughlin not displayed such a frequent tendency to drive into the net, Hacket and Williams probably would not have won as many games as they did. Bundy played superb tennis in every department of the game, but his more youthful playing mate was erratic, not to a sufficient extent, however, to prove disastrous. Hacket started to serve, and his Blow floating ball was the weapon with which he took the first game.

Then McLoughlin took his stand at the back and sent hlB crashing service shots with such force that he and Bundy tied the Bcore at 1-1. The Westerners then broke through Williams service for the third end followed this wltn a love game on Bundy's service. A spirited attack at the net by Bundy resulted in Williams eventually driving out at the side, giving the game to the Westerners. Then It was that Hackett and Williams got to "Mac's" service and brought the score to 4 2 against them. Hackett ooaxed Bundy to the net, and with McLoughlin at the Bide, drove the ball between the two.

Then he lobbed to Bundy, who returned the ball poorly with a smash into the net. Hackett and Will iams took the next game lu much the snine way. Three nets by McLoughlin on high iodb and an out by Bundy made the score 3. The nly other time Hacket and Williams scored during the set was In the ninth game. Williams side line drives were much In evidence and were so cleverly placed that neither "Mao ror Bundy were able to return them.

Both Westerners were unsuccessful on every attempt to get the ball over. A lively rally took place In tne last game between Williams and McLoughlin. The latter made some spectacular one of which Williams missed on the re turn. Second Set was More Exciting. The second Bet, while not containing a3 mnny games, was more exciting, an but three of the games going to deuce.

McLoughlin could not get hie eye on Williams' service in the first and the game went to Hackett and Williams, the af ter scor ni the advantages on Mac erratieness. The latter characteristic of the Westerner's playln? was more In ev idence in the second game than at any other time during the match. Whether Williams or Hackett would return Bundy's peculiar twist service, McLoughllr sent the ball flying into the net three successive times. Then he changed for the better and by deadly and this time accurate smashing, brought the score to deuce. Two outs by Williams then finished the game.

The next was a sizzler. With the point score at deuce the four men engaged In the prettiest volley ot the match. Hackett was nearest the net and banged away at the Westerner's defense until, aided by Williams on his left made McLoughlin fire into the cords. Lobbing followed, in nearly every Instance of which Bundy failed to get the ball over. Hackett won the game on a pretty cross court shot.

The next and last time Hackett and Williams scored was In the fifth. Two outs by Bun' and one by McLoughlin, followed by a net by McLoughlin on a high drive, gave the now combination the game at love and made the score to 2 In Its favor. The Pacific Const players then played in their true form and although the next two games went to deuce, they pulled them out nulok!" was himself in the last game. He drove both Hackott and Williams to deep court and forced them to hit into the net. At 4015, Mac rushed up to meet Will-lams' service and, connecting squarely, sent thn ball '--bine straight back at Williams The latter put up his racket to return, but the ball was too fast and its force almost tore the racket from the server's hands.

McLouhlln and Bundy Bcored points to Hackett and Williams' 57. Mahan Beats Inman. Lyle E. Mahan defeated Frederick C. Inman at 76, 63.

Mahnn played a pretty game and handled Inman's puzzlers In fine shape. The former State tltleholder had his lucky opponent running a great deal to return some of his croBs-court shots and would score only when Mahan went tired from his exertions. Sensational "gets" marked the playing of both men, aided by his long reach, returning many of Inman's drives to the far Bide. One of the greatest upsets of the tournament occurred yesterday In the defeat of H. H.

Braly and Walter Merrill Hall by Dr. William RoBenbaum and Richard H. Palmer. The latter pair were not looked upon as even able to make the others extend themselves, but the doctor started an attack that was taken up by Gitlbcy's Mall, scotch WHISKY It's AM, Scotch and A 1,1, ten yenrs old.

The lure of six reserved seats to the opening game at Ebbets Field was enough to arouse the most lethargic fans, and they sent in answers by the bale. But there is plenty of time for you to take a chance at the tickets even if you did not send in your version of the case last night.

rounds except for three or four mix-ups when they stood toe to toe and banged away until each was ready to sten back and think up another way to get results. Stewart left was In splendid working order, and he alternated It from the head to the body In a fashion that had the novice continually guessing. Stewart's idea was to bring the right over for a knockout, and he had that constantly In mind. He landed the right with force and enthusiasm many times, but it was either in the wrong spot or did not have the steam to stow away such a husky opponent. MeCarty was caueht flush on the jaw by a dozen lefts that Jarred him, but he never went to the floor but once.

That was before the fight started, when MeCarty got up for a moment and an officious second removed the stool. MeCarty decided to sit down again, the stool was not there and the building shook. Many a fighter has gone out for the count after a battle was over, but so far this Is the first time one ever went to the canvas before the flrBt round. Footwork Big Factor. McCarty's weight was announced as pounds and Stewart's as 203ft.

They were thus as nearly balanced as heavyweights well could be. Stewart was the more active on his feet and that was a tremendous advantage for him. His superiority In this respect was due to his longer career In the ring, In the course of which he had learned to use his legs as well as his hands. He was able to side step most of McCarty's dangerous rushes and either make him miss entirely or run Into a block, while MeCarty had little Idea of what to do except charge straight ahead and take a chance. The little shift Stewart knew how to make and which waB unknown to MeCarty was responsible for the number of lefts Stewart landed on the face.

The beaten man Is by no means soggy on hlg feet and in the course of time should acquire as much footwork as Stewart now has, but there is email probability that he will ever be a nimble, elusive fighter like Bombadler Wells Corbett, McCoy or the others of the school who depend upon speed to avoid punishment and a quickness of hand to make one carefully planned and planted blow win a battle. Mccarty should event ually become a fighter very much on the order of Stewart, with a harder punch. arm has gone back on him. 'He went through one entire game last season, and in that beat New York. He had gone to his home in Ladoga, Ind.

CLARKE GRIFFITH thinks Jim Vaughn will be a sure enough pitcher it he win adopt the overhand Instead of sticking to the side-arm delivery, Vaughn complains that he cannot control the ball with the overhand fling, Dut is working hard to that end. THE LINCOLN, team In the Western League, recently played ten games in a row without an error. CHICAGO AMERICAN League fans think Harry White, long their champion southpaw, has at last rounded Into form. White Is one of the most frailly built pitchers In major league ball, and It is considered a physical marvel that he has lasted this long. THE BLUE GRASS League will have 'Umpires Day" on August 12, when all the fans promise to behave and treat the umps like human beings.

It was all a simple little matter, as Brooklyn games go, easily understood by the veriest tyro. Brooklyn could got men on bases but could not work them around. Each team made thirteen hits, but those of the Car dinals counted for twice as much as those of the home talent, and there you are. Brooklyn used three pitchers. The first was Elmer Knetzer of whom much was expected, but little received.

He was touched for two home runs, two doubles and four singles, all within the brief space of 4 1-3 innings, after which gracefully exited. Knetzer was followed by Cliff Curtis. The first man to oppose Cliff waB Oakes, who thumped him for a homer over tne right field fence with a man on first. A single was made off Cliff in the same inning. Nothing was doing with Cliff In the fifth inning, and he retired In Brooklyn's half of that to let Eddie Phelps bat for him.

Eddie Stack pitched the last three rounds, and a hit was made off him in every one of them, but no runs resulted. Sallee was not so hard to hit, although he was pitching good ball. The trouble was that the Snperbas could not rise to emergencies and deliver stout blows when men were on bases. Superbas Batted Together la the Sixth, Brooklyn's first three runs came in the sixth inning. Wheat singled and took third on Cutshaw's double to left.

Fisher was thrown out by Sallee, scoring Wheat and putting Cutshaw on third. Otto Miller unloosened a triple to left that scored Cutshaw, and he went homo on Phelps' single through Sallee. Moran filed to left. Hummel drove to HouBer, who made a perfect throw to Hugglns at second. Phelps thought he was forced and stepped off the bag, but Huggins dropped the ball.

Before Phelps woke up Hugglns had recovered the leather and touched him. It was very sad. With two out In the ninth Daubert got a life when Magee muffed his difficult fly. Daubert stole second and scored on Wheat's single to center. Cutshaw filed to OakeB.

How the Cards Scored. Hugglns opened the third for St. Louis with a hit through Smith. Magee walked. Mowrey sacrificed.

Up came Edward Konetchy, who had fanned In the first inning. Edward smote the ball full sorely upon the snoot for a four-sacker to the nethermost reaches of left center, where the bleachers Joined the fence. DOINGS Friday will see many more ot the American Olympic athletes in this country. Lawson Robertson, trainer ot the Irish-American A. IB returning with the largest batch yet to reach home.

It is said at the Fifty-ninth street clubhouse that Robertson will bring back with him an application tor membership to the Irish club signed by Karl Koleh-mainen. The great Finnish runner, who was the sensation of tho Olympic games, Is not returning on tho same boat, but will follow shortly and will make his residence in this country. American Olympic athletes arrived both here and In Boston yesterday. The steamer Lapland landed a squad, among whom was Lieutenant-Commander Harris Lanlng. captain of the victorious American rifle team; F.

V. Belotc, who figured prominently In the sprints, taking fourth place In the 100 meter race; Jack Eller, the Irish-American Club hurdler, and Frank C. Irons, the broad Jumper. On the steamer Canadian, which arrived In Boston, were Albert Qutterson of tho University of Vermont, who won (lie broad Jump; Oscar Hellung and Clarence Do Mar. Harry Hlllman, one of tho greatest hurdlers and short distance runners for years, recently signed a contract to coach tho athletes of Dartmouth College for the next five years.

Hlllman, who is a Brooklyn boy, took up the work of coaching at Hanover two years ago, after laying aside his ruunlDg shoes for a L. 6. Frank J. Marshall of Brooklyn finished biahi piace, wnn a total of 9bi to 7U to hlB credit. His record comprised 7 wins, 6 losses and 6 drawn games.

He was signed yesterday by President James E. Gaffney for the Boston Nationals, and will report to them at once. Several clubs were after him. MORE HARD LUCK for the unfortunate Phillies. Pitcher Ad Brennan was thought to have an attack of tonsilitls, and when It became too painful for him to doctor himself he went to a regular physician, who diagnosed the case as a mild from of diphtheria, and hustled him to the Municipal Hospital.

It Is a wonder he did not cause the whole team to be quarantined. CONNIE MACK has signed Robert Stevenson, one of the best all-around baseball and football players developed at the University of Minnesota in recent years. Stevenson recently broke his leg playing semi-professional ball, and will not report until next spring. HAVING THE SPEEDIEST pitcher In the business to call upon In emergencies Is one of Washington's strongest points. After Groom and Cashlon had been bumped yesterday, Walter Johnson went to the rescue under a full head of steam end dazzled the Chicago White Sox until Washington could brace up and eventually win by 8 to 7.

HANS WAGNER'S record in the game when Pittsburg beat the Giants yesterday: One home run, one two-basger, one stolen base, figured in one double play, four outs, three assists and two errors. If It is agreeable to the members present, he will be excused for the two errors. THE NATIONAL COMMISSION has decided that because it did not meet Its in the Jersey City Club will have to turn Frill over to Cincinnati. He was procured from the St. Louis Americans, for Jl.OOu.

Because of financial troubles in the Jersey Club, leniency wae asked In regard to prompt payment. President Hedges of the Browns waited two or three months, then became Impatient and sold his rights In Frill to Garry Herrmann. After that dicker was made 'ersey City offered the money, but it was ha too late. 2ARXEY DREYFUSS gave himself the worst stinging of the year when he traded Tommy Leach and Lefty Lelfleld for Pitcher King Cole and Outfielder Artie Mofman. Leilield, among other desirable results, from a Chicago standpoint, has beaten Brooklyn four times in a row, and Leach never played better that he has for the CubB.

Hofman has been in poor health since he Joined the Pirates, and yesterday Manager Fred Clarke sent a telegram to Pittsburg suspending King Cole Indefinitely for running away and being a bad boy. EDDIE SUMMERS, the Detroit pitcher. Bays he Is through after this year. His TOMORROW 3.30 P. M.

It was the athlete's stipulation at the time that he sign a contract for one year and upon his success would depend his stay at tho Green Mountain 'varsity. Harry made a big hit at once, both personally and as a trainer, with the students.

Athletics at Dartmouth took a decided brace and both the alumni and the student body were united In declaring him the best coach they ever had. One of his greatest training feats Bince taking charge at Dartmouth was the developing of Marcus Wright, tho pole vaultor, who made the American Olympic team. At the Boston tryouts, Wright broke the world's record for the pole vault, clearing the remarkable height of 13 feet 2Vi Inches. Hlllman carried the Mercury foot emblem of the New York A. C.
