CALGARY. ALBERTA, June "a

quilted OF a mansIaughter charge
which was placed against him as a
result of the death of Luther Nc
Carly, who died in the first round Of
a scheduled ten round bout at the
Burns arena here May "a last.
1t was charged by the government
that McCarty died as the result of
a blow administered by Pelkey. The
jury was out 45 minutes and the YER
dict was to the effect that the con-
test was a prize fight, but that Pes
key was not guilty of manslaughter
inasmuCh as the blow he struck was
not intended to cause fatal results.
A big demonstration followed the
announcement of the verdict, and as
Pelkey stepped from the prisoner
box he was warmly congratulated.
Pelkey probably will continue his
career in the prize ring. and an an
nounCement of his next fight is eX-
peCted in the near future.

Dixie League Batting Leaders of the Past
BY Percy II. Whiting.

series a bunch of Boston fans, with
a band and banners. formed a
Loyal RIOTERS Club and blew wads
of dough going and risked their
lives on the New Haven road to
cheer for Boston at every game.
BY getting in early with their
money and paying what was asked
and pulling political wires, they
managed to have seats reserved for
them-up until the last game in
Boston. Figuring properly that they
had no Come-b back, the manage
ment of the club ignored their
reservation for that game and sold
out their seats, knowing that the
Loyal Rooters" would pay any
way and stand up II necessary.
That's what they did-they stood
