Luther McCarty. the white heavy

tanned large crowd of boxing enthu-
slasts in his training camp at Rye Beach
Yesterday afternoon. More than two hun
dred of the dyed in the wool fans"
braved the rain and were on hand when
the big COW punCher entered the gym
uasium They came away convinced that
McCarty represents the highest type of
white boxer in his class. and that Moran
will have to do better than most persons
believe him capable of If he hopes to win.
McCarty is in fine condition for a con-
test which most critics believe to be
easy picking and from the way he goes
about his work one might be led into
thinking that he was preparing for a
Jack johnson or a Sam Langford
Before McCarty took to the gymnasium
he showed his ability as a rope thrower.
and he has forgotten few of his tricks
He kept the loop swinging about his head
until all the rope was paid. and then ne
gradually worked ii back until the circle
was less than three feet in diameter. 4
few wrist snaps and short arm throws
were INDUCED in, and then he went
through his work. When it came time
for the boxing. Al Kubiac and Al McClos-
KEY entered. much in the same cheerful
fashion that prisoner enters the dock.
They knew well what was coming.
For three rounds with each MCCarty
worked az full speed. He boxed better
than he has ever shown in this city. and
while there arc a few rough points to
his work these doubtless will be polished
of in the course Of time. He used a left
hand lab TO the face that caused his part
ners no end Of worry, and landed from
all angles. He hooked the punch better
than he has heretofore and took advan-
tsge Of all opportunities. lie put plenty
Of force in the right hand counters. ana
il was the. consensus that if he hits Moran
cleanly something will have to give way.
Although McCarty has drawn the color
line he said he would make an exception
and tight Jack Johnson If the public de-
manded the match. He added.

Jack johnson will do it. 7 am just as
good as he ever was. and he is not the
man he was a few wears ago. Reports
10 the contrary notwithstanding, Jim
Flvnn was getting to him in that fight at
Las Vegas. and ! beat Flynn easily on
two occasions All any promoter has to

Johnny Dundee. OF this city. will have
his chance TO become featherweight cham
zion of the world when he meets Johnny
Kilbane. the present holder OF the title
in twenty-round bout at Tom McCarey's
Arena in Los Angeles tonight. Although
Kilbane is strong favorte. a. odds ot
almost 10 10 C. Dundee is not without
friends The New York boy is in perfect
condition for the match. and If he loses

Win or lose. this may be Kilbane's last
battle as a featherweight For some time
he has considered boxing in the light
weight class 1t is whispered that he
finds more than passing difficulty in max

that he would lose none Of his speed and
skill If he boxed in the heavier division.
