BIG CLOVES WERE
 USED IN BATTLE M'Carty Agreed to Change Be cause Smaller Ones Were
 Forgotten

Calgary, Alberta, May 27-It devel- oped yesterday that eight ounce gloves instead of the customary five-ounce gloves were used by Pelkey and Mo- Carty in Saturdays tragic fray. This became known when members of the Northwest Mounted Police seized the gloves for evidence to be presented to the coroner's jury last evening.
 McCarty and Pelkey had agreed to use the lesser weight gloves; and, it is brought into the ring, with the excuse ally had been left in Calgary, which is five miles from the scene of the fight, McCarty's manager objected to their use until nhcCarty overTuled him.
 It, generally is conceded that the burning of the Burns Arena last night added the only needed blow to put a ouietus on the boxing game in AL berta Province.
 c. R. Mitchell. acting Premier of Al berta said that the law which pro- hibits professional fighting in Alberta would be vigorously enforced.
 Coroner Costello announced he had postponed until last night the inquest which was scheduled for yesterday af- ternoon. No reason was given for the change in time, but it is assumed that inc rlhysician's announcement that Mc- carty,ss death resulted from a blow 10 the jaw has complicated matters some what and made necessary the prepaf- ing of additional evidence for presen- tation to the coroner's jury.

regarded as necessary to add to the greater glory of the Blue. In dis cussing the chances of his champion ship team last night. Captain Wagon CT declared that the Ellis expect to be in one of the first four places at the end of the meet.
 In the 100-yard dash, Cornell is ex- pected to capture a second or third, but not much more, as many good men are entered in this event. Wilkie and Bayne in the quarter-mi1e are not sureties, although the former may succeed in. taking 8 third.
 The half-nni1e is to be represented by three Yale men, Poucher, Brown and Scotten. Of these Brown is the favorite, being given a consideration by virtue of the fact that John Paul Jones of Cornell, his hardest oppon- ent, is scheduled for the mile but a short time beforehand, and so will not be in the best condition to com pete with the fast son of Eli

NEW LONDON WINS FROM MECHANICS
 IN FATAL EIGHTH
(By Wagner.)

Jolly Jake Bou1tes from old St. Louis worked the April fool sign on the New London Planters yesterday at Newfe1d park. It was mean trick but Jake was simply trying to show up the visitors and make them realize that the diamond was not a sleeping car. In the third inning Catcher Foye of the Planters singled sharply to cen ter and Reiger bunted. His effort was a pop fly toward third. Seeing that F'oye hugged first and Reiger stopped running, Boultes didn't catch the ball but scooped it on the bound. He then hurled to second, forcing F'oye and Bowman made the play to McGam- well, putting Reiger out It was heady work on Bou1tes' part and the bleach critics kidded the New Londoners. The Planters had the final grin, however, for they beat the Mechanics 3 to 2 by an eighth inning rally.
 Freddy Reiger, who had won seven straight, and is leading the league pitchers, simply added another to his string. His spit ball was working fine and the Mechanics couldn't touch him in the pincf1es. Buster Bowman and Bob Stow with two clouts each, were the only ones to do anything with the ash- Blossom Blum went along we'll until the eighth and it 1ooged as if he would wear the laurel wreath but he wobb1ed long enough to pass Cater son, a weak hitter, with two out. Then Joe Briggs cleaned up with a triple and Rock singled. As Reiger had previously made. a base hit the Plant CTS grabbed three runs right there
 With the score 3 to 1 against them the Mechanics made one in the ninth on single by Flanagan, Phillips out and Slows rap but Stow was left stranded on second after he had stolen that sack. Promo SiIzer choked off a couple of tallies in the second when with second and third occupied and one out he ran in and took F'oye's liner with his gloved hand Every day is circus day with Bromo The score:

LEACH CROSS TO
 JOURNEY TO COAST
Will Take On Bud Anderson il
 He Beats MaIoney

Leach Cross, the lightweight cham pion contender, may wander to the Pacific Coast shortly to do battle with Bud Anderson, conqueror of Knock out Brown and Joe Mandot. Tom McCarey. the Los Angeles promoter. has promised Cross the July 4 date with Anderson if Leachie disposed of Teddy Maloney tomorrow night.
 Cross recalls with regret his first and only other appearance on the Coast, the unp1easantry with Dick Hyland, when Leach succumbed after forty rounds. For forty rounds Leach re- ceived $400 He hopes to get more than that sum for twenty rounds with Anderson
 Cross is directly in line for a, whack at Willie Ritchie's title. All Leachie must do to square off in the ring against the lightweight champion on Labor Day, is to gain undisputable decisions over Maloney and Anderson.

M'lOUGHLIN TRYING
 TO IMPROVE STYLE

Maurice Mclaughlin, the coast ten his player, thinks that the change or tactics he has made in his style Of play will benefit him materially. Mo Loughlin declares that his chief weak ness is in back court work and that his ground strokes need polishing up
 Yesterday in practice matches at the Country Club of Westchester Mo Loughlin caintained position at the back of the court. He met with good success and the change helped his game greatly.
 During the day Mclaughlin played a steady game. His strokes were sure and accurate and his vo1leying good. So good was the Australian in practice that he never once crossed the mid-court lines and he drove both from his fore hand and right hand.
 Last night Mclaughlin left for Bos- ton, where he will meet R. Norris williams on the Longwood courts The far coast player says that he will use the same kind of game against Will Hams as he used in his match with PeIl, even though 1t brings about his defeat.

Sandy and he did not object to getting pretty well acquainted with John Bar leycorn. It was during an important series when the St. Paul and Milwau- kee teams were battling for a place that the fans were stirred up to more than the usual interest
 On the day in question there was a large crowd present and it looked as if they were in for a good game of baseball. Everything went along smoothly after the game had been called for about four innings and not a scrap had taken place nor a kick made against the umpire Tn the fifth inning, however close play came up and there was an immediate war of words between the umpire and some of the home players Sandy did not fine anybody, nor did he put any one out of the game but he waited until half of the inning was over and the men had taken their po- sitions for the other half of the i'm ming With the men in their posifioug and ready to play Sandy acted fin O. rather nervous manner and the NGaus began to get nervous waiting for him to resume the play. Suddenly hedeft walked toward the grand stand Flo removed his hat and with his hand kercfief wiped the precipitation Off d1ig brow. Then he addressed the us- semb1ed fans in a very clear-a.nG dis tinct voice, sayfng-
 Ladies and gentlemen bo-dEy'D game is postponed until further ho- tice on account of darkness"
 With this announcement Sandy made a dash for the gate and disap- peared before the fans realized what had happened, and also the plzyera- They stood in their positions like a. lot of dummies and 1t was a couple of minutes before they realized that the game was really off. Neither man ager seemed inclined to take 1t upon himself to appoint another umpire to renew the game, so it was declared oh. much to the disgust of the fans.
 It is needless to say that another umpire appeared the following dsy.

ENGLISH COACH SAYS
 YALE IS IMPROVING

New Haven, May 27-The Yale crew seems ito be showing signs of pace,'' according to A., G. Kirby, for mer Oxford oarsman, now coaching the Yale eight. in a, statement on the work of the crew made public here, to-day.
 when I first arrived he said. ''I found they were rowing 9, stroke which differed from my idea of the English style. In the first place, they were extremely stiff in their movements and had not gotten the length in the water which one looks for in a good English crew. The men were not sufficiently steady on the swing forward to have enough control of themselves to make a, smart drive at the beginning of the stroke. This fault was particularly noticeable and had the effect of making the crew Iurch over their stretchers in their endeavor to check themselves. The result of this was to cause hang Otherwise the eight seemed quite promising.
 ''The first thing I did was to at tempt to get the men supple and to recover easier so that they would gain forward. The oarsmen were made to realize that the essential idea of Eng fish rowing is that every ounce of work to be exerted must come at the beginning of the stroke. These are elementary points but ones which a crew must master before it can be de- veloped into a fast eight. The crew was extremely adaptable and made the coaching much easier than I had anticipated. These fundamentals are well on the way to being remedied."

the White sox, even if he had been released to Louisville before that dI- vision e money was made. Murphy has been criticized for sending Brown to the minor league when some major league clubs would like to have him. You know he reason. None of th5 major league clubs wanted him, at the figure Murphy had been paying him. Yet they blame Murphy for letting Isrown go My feeling for Mordecai Brown is friendly. I doubt if there is a bal.player for whom have a greater regard. Yet baseball is a b'1si- ness and there Is no reason why Mur- phy should pension any of his pitchers after they have oI1tlived their useful ness to him.
 It has been said that McGraw will pension Mathewson. Personally I do not believe that Mathewson will stand for any pensioning. It's my opinion that Matty will graduate from active box work into the management of one of the big league clubs. Yet, incl denta1ly, and for the sake of argu- ment, did McGraw pension Iron Man McGfnnity?''

 Things went along fairly well for a time, but again the wrangling broke out and it was a case of scrap all the way between the umpire and the play CTS and Sandy handed out some pretty good fines in an effort to break up the trouble. The strain began to tell ---
