On Monday night George Rodei the lBoer and Harry Price the welterweight cl1aa11- pdon Of South Africa arrived. Rodel is matched to meet G41nboaf Smith at Madison Square Garden on July 27. The affair takes interest from the fact that the two aspirants for Heavyweight honOrS have met once before and ex- changed compliments in the ring Some newspapers gave the first flight to the Boer and others to the English champion. It was certainly an inter esting meeting for the Boer was knocked down nine times in bhat fight and revived dn the last two rounds nent with a rain of blows which put 91tm in Jeopardy. Since then the Boer has improved wonderfully He has not lost a fight since he came to America. He weighs 1S5 at the ring side. The Boer is a, raw boned active young man carrying a pair of enor- Inous fists. Tn a crowd he would not be selected by one one as a fighter. He has a. bright clear eye and every movement of his long 1.-the frame in dicates decision. He was born in the TranSvaaI and went through the Boer war with credit. His partner, Harry Price has Just graduated into the mid dleweAght class from the welters. Ro- del will begin regular training next Monday for the Madison Square garden contest with a number of sparring partners who will arrive soon- Soldier Kearns will return to the quarters to- day and take a rest of two or three weeks. He has been in constant train ing for a long time and his immense muscles need the relaxation that comes with a period Of inactivity.
 Charlie Griffin is enjoying 5Re op- portunity to talk with two Of his coun- trynen who have had about the same experience on the other side.

DEATH
 BLOW TO MANAGER

Bill McCarney is the man Luther McCarty's death has affected the most. Bill was a father, pal and business manager combined to the big champion. He knew Luther better than any ether person, and he was completely wrapped up in him and his career.
 They call him Crazy Lute.' and deneunce him as irresponsible.'' said McCarney a few months ago. land [ have no doubt he appears in that light to the public, but found him to be a good-hearted, excellent boy. The crowd at the fight cT-.-- -~4s n-,1s- e7- veneer Luther wears; 1t is a different Luther that I know, and if you were acquainted with him in the same way I am sure you would like him.
 McCarney called his fighter king Luther addressed Bill as 't----~----' % He generally asked his advice regard ing all ventures that interested him McCarney only laughed at his reck- less, good-natured ways.
 The attachment between manager and fighter was a strong one. as usual ly is the case when a fighting 0Fm pulls together for any length of tius. Luther was an unsophistIcated boy. who knew little of the good things Of life when McCarney met him at Springfield. Mo, early in 1911. His rough edges were many.
 v McCarney became mentor as well as manager He taught him ta hIe ati- quette and other social points c. boxer needs to know if he is to be a btg success. His instructions also took in the usages of a. Pullman car, by the way. Luther had never ridden inside one before he came across McCarneys although he knew every crossbeam on the trucks beneath.
 Those first few months were dark ones for Messrs. McCarty and BEcCar- ney. The latter was matchmaker for a boxing club in Springfield but few of his shows made any money. It wasn't long before they owed board bills, and hundred private loans were charged up against them. LrIth- CT fought every now and then, but. having no reputation, the proceeds were only enough to keep the landlady from calling on the prosecutor.
 Their heels, well as their spirits were way below par when Carl Morris came to town. Carl was never any thing of Q fighter, but he was the in strument that brought fame and a year of fortune to the two Macs. Nc Carty knocked him out, and then the skies cleared.
 The depressing times, however, ce- mented the friendship of McCarty and McCarney, and then knockout punch es could not have hurt Billy 16cCarney as much as watching Luther stretched out in the ring at Calgary, fighting his death battle.

 the ninth but Hartford rallied and
 tied the score. In the eleventh Bridge port got two but Hartford won out by getting three. The Hartford Cour- ants story of the doings is as fol- laws:
 Pete wilson went in for Hartford and, while a bit cratic at times, kept Bridgeport in hand fairly well and with good support would have got away with only one run against him. Rapp had the sign on the Senators for eight innings, allowing only two hits up to the ninth, but after that he was meat for the Capital city stick CTS and his defense crunbled like pa per. Wilson helped himself out of many tight boxes with strikeouts, col- lecting ten of them, but he let himself in for a number of bad places with free transfers.

YALE-HARYARD CREWS
 ENDING THE HARD WORK
Time Rows This Week VIII Be Last
 Strenuous Practice.

Gales Ferry Conn, June 11.-Or- ders have been given in both 4he Yale and Harvard rowing camps for ths oarsmen to prepare for the most strenuous week of the season. It ts the intention of the coaches in both camps to close time work of an srdu- ous nature next Saturday. evening, and both the Yale and Harvard coaching staff feel that they would like to send their crews over their racing distance under the watch three times before that date.
 The cessation of time rowing next Saturday will five five whole days be- fore the regatta the following Friday and this will be devoted to a. genuine physical rest, save for the daily light conditioning paddle which will be or- dered when the coachingi will be di- rected at individual form, racing starts and the elimination of a. few minor de- fects which have crept into the water manship of the crews as a whole.
 Coaches Wray of Harvard and Gold of Yale say that they have no more definite changes in makeup in mind in the varsity eights.
 The physical condition of Reynolds, No. 2 in the Harvard eight. is by no means ideal, but he has returned to his seat and is likely to hold it. Hope that Pirnie will show sufficient strength to allow him to take the posi- ton of varsity eight stroke, for which he has been forecasted and practically selected by the Crimson authorities, has been abandoned. He is still a possibility for that seat in the varsity four. although he is at present in the second four.

the loss of the lead in the league must have put an extra bit of ginger into the Senators when they went up before MT. Rapp in their half of the eleventh, for Morley opened with a hit to left that Silzer could not get back quite far enough for and Bill Powers, who had replaced Wilson, after that ninth inning, put single along the ground just to the left of second that ad- vanced Morley one station. Kauff then slammed 8 double to left center. scoring Morley, and putting Powers at third. KeIiher's hot slam at Stow was fumbIed by the Mechanics shortstop. letting Powers over with the tying run. Gardella lifted one high and far out into right field that Snyder made little attempt to get, realizing that if he caught 1t there was no hope of heading off Kaum at the plate, and the game was at last Hartford's with nobody out.
