McCarthy's skull was fractured at
the base of the brain, as a result Of the
impact OF his head against the mat
after Moran mad sent him to the floor
with a heavy overland swing to the
jaw. He was carried to his corner,
where his seconds, not realizing the
gravity of his condition, worked over
him for half an hour before physicians
demonstrated and caused the stricken
lad to be hurried to the hospital. Nc
Ca-thys mother objected to an opera
ton being performed, it is said, and it
was long after midnight before the boy
was tsken into the operating room.
Owen Moran and his seconds, Jeff
Perry and Jimmy Carroll, and McCar-
thy's brothers, William and Johnny,
who acted as his seconds with Bernard
Treanor, were all placed under arrest.
The accident occurred after sixteen
rounds OF hard fighting. in which the
hOnors up 10 that time hod been about
even. A big crowd witnessed the con-
test, and despite the noise in the ring,
the thud of McCarthy's head striking
the floor following Moran's hard blow
was plainly heard in all parts of the
building.
1t is said that Mccarthy had gone
stale in his training for the fight, and
that he was in poor shape to meet the
Britisher.
What effect this ring fatality will
have on the coming battle between JEFF
fries and johnson at EmeTyville is
question of interesting speculation
among fight fans and others today.
Tex Richard, one of the promoters of
the big fight, said last night that he
did not think fatal termination of Nc
Carthy's injury would affect the heavy
weight contest. Neither Jeffries nor
Johnson. he declared, is likely seriously
TO hurt the other. He pointed out the
youth and inexperience of Mccarthy
in support of his statement.
Gloom hangs over pugiliStiC circles
here as a result of last nights fatality.
May Hurt Big Go.
Even the arrival of Jack johnson and
the excitement of a personal sizing up
of the big negro failed to lift the sport
ing fraternity out of its depression.
The dead boy had got advanced far
enough to be rated among the lumin-
ness Of the sport followers was not
due to any sense of loss, but to the
very general feeling that the occur
renee may have an effect on the whole
fight game in California, now prac-
tically at its last stand.
Fans are recalling the dark spots of
pugiliStic history here. 1t was in San
Francisco that Harry Tenny died from
his bout with frankie Neil four years
ago. The blow that put Mccarthy out
last night was identical with the smash

Berger warned Jeffries at the begin
ming OF the mill that he intended to
liven things up, .and told him to send
his punches in hard. Jeffries respond
ed so readily that Berger was kept
on the defensive throughout and
almost took the count when he planted
his neck in the way of a wicked left
drive. Four tame rounds with Bob
Armstrong followed, after which bag
punching and handbal! kept the cham
pion busy until noon.
Afterward the afternoon was spent
on the baseball diamond. Jeffries
thoroughly enjoys baseball. and ran
the bases like a small boy.
Among the visitors at the camp to-
day was q friend of the fighter, Karl
Koening. who in height and build

Secretary E K. Hall stated that the
members of the committee, after wrest-
ling with the forward pass question for
two days, had to confess themselves
baffled. For that reason the restric-
ton was placed upon it. For the same
reason the committee was obliged to
reduce the distance to be gained in
three downs from ten yards to eight.
A subcommittee was appointed to-
night to work out the details of the
changes decided upon. and to report to
the whole committee by mail in time
for the coming New York meeting, May
1914. The committee recommends as
follows:
THAT schedules should be made with
the help and supervision of the faculty.
THAT contests be limited to one game
a week.
That no games be allowed until the
players have spent at least two weeks
in conditioning themselves.

his two heats and the final in the 100

in the dash was 10 seconds and for the
quarter mile in the one-mile relay race,
495 seconds.
Nine colleges lined up for the one

say the blow itself was not fatal, and

MEN DOWN EUREKA
ElevenS Put Up Fast Game Be-
fore Crowd on Post
Grounds.

By the score of 4 goals 10 the Salt
Lake soccer eleven yesterday defeated
the Eureka eleven in the first con-
test of the Daynes cup series. The
game played at the Fort Douglas ath-
letic field attracted a large crowd and.
while new to many Of the spectators,
the interest in the play was soon no.
ticed in frequent cheering.
Salt Lake won by superior strength
IN attacks and more brilliant indi-
vtdual playing. For the greater part
of the time the ball was IA Eureka
goal was sharp at all times.
The first half ended 2 to for Salt
Lake. Collins scoring both goals after
a free kick from corner.
Soon after the start of the second
half Collins placed a corner kick in
fine style and Anseu headed" the ball
through the Eureka posts for the
third goal. The fourth goal came late
in the game, when Buchanan hinch
kicked an overhead shot through the
posts after accepting pretty pass
from Ansell.
Hobbs scored the only point for Eu-
reka soon after the start of the sec
ond half. after a brilliant run of the
Miners left wing.
The work of the Salt Lake backs
was particularly strong, Donaldson and
mined attack. In the forward line
Adamson showed great skill at ad-
vancing the bill. while AnseIl, Collins
and the other Salt Lake forwards car
ried a strong attack.
DR.. c. c.. Plummer kicked off for
Salt Lake, starting the play. Salt Lake
showed up much stronger than eX-
pected and the victory over the 1903

of a winning team.

JEFF GETS NEWS.

Ben LOmond, Cal. April 30.-When
told OF Tommy McCarthy's death fol-
lowing a knockout blow at the hands
of owen Moran. Jim JeffrieS said:
Gee, that's pretty tough on old man
Mccarthy. They tell me he idoliZed the
kid, and II will surely break the old
fellow all UP.
"As TO just how little Mccarthy met
his death, I don't know any of the cir
cumStances just now. I presume IL was
just one of those unfortunate acct
dents that could not be avoided. A
thing like that is likely to occur in
most any line of sport-automobiling
hunting, fishing, or even in milder pas
times Nevertheless. it's mighty
tough thing for a family to lose a lad
of McCarthy's age"
Jeffries would not discuss the prob
able effect of the incident on the fight
for which he is training.

Jeffries' enthusiasm over his fishing
excursions continues undated He
was used up when he returned from his
angling jaunt yesterday. and the fact
that he dallied by the trout stream
three hours beyond his usual lunch
time testifieS to his devotion to the
rod and reel. AS IN every sport and
pastime in which he engages, Jeffries
throws a world of energy into his fish
ing operations, and rarely quits a days
expedition until he has hooked the full
quota Of speckled beauties permitted
by the law.
John Kelly, a life termer in the
penitentiary at Deer Lodge, has writ
ten Jeffries. asking his aid in secur-
Ing a pardon. The convict sent JEFF
fries a horsehair watch fob made by
him in prison, and begged that the
fighter would rattle off a horsehair
bride for him at the ring on the day
of the big battle.

Detective Elusive on
Rumor Of Confession

QUEBEC, Aug. At am not seek
ing to compel DR.. Crippen to make
confession. I am not anxious to Sc
cure a confession from him. He has
said that he is not guilty OF murder"
Inspector Dew OF Scotland Yard
made this statement today just before
leaving Quebec for Niagara Falls on
a sightseeing trip. The opinion is
prevalent here, however, that Dew
would scarcely leave his prisoner at
this time unless he had received some
satisfactory statement from him.
The English law is very strict on
the subject of confessions. 1t abb
solutely forbids the making public OF
any confession obtained from pris-
oner. Any officer revealing the fact
of a confession could be prosecuted.
II is thought that this legal situa-
ton may be responsible for Dew's
change of attitude since yesterday,
when he allowed the inference to 90
out that Crippen had told him the full
story of Belle Elmore's death.
There are those who still insist that,
despite Dew's denial Of today, he has
obtained from his prisoner a full state
ment of the circumstances surround
ing the tragedy.
