Has Had Many Thrills.
Luther McCarty, whose decisive victory
over AL Palzer at Los Angeles, Cal. yes
terday. places him in the lead of the
army of white hopes, has had an eventfui
career. Even before he became a knight
of the padded mitt McCarty had packed
enough thrills into his life to satisfy the
average taste for excitement. At various
times he has been miner, lumberjack,
cowboy, sailor, roustabout, and many
other things as the opportunity offered.
Now he is in fair way to become the
heavyweight champion, and yet he Is
still lacking few months of his ma
iority.
McCarty was born on a ranch owned
by his father that was located thirty
miles out of Lincoln, Nebr. His mother
died when he was two years old and a
few years later he went to live with
relatives In Colorado. At the age of
twelve he left his home without taking
the formality of announcing his depar-
tUre and started on his travels. These
took him through almost every State in
the Union. He also sailed around Cape
Horn while acting as cabin boy on a
''windjammer' and visited China and
Japan on another vessel
Back TO HerdInE-

pugliist. getting his first opportunity
when one Of the principals in a bout
against Walt Adams, a Canadian heavy
weight, failed to show up. One OF Nc
Carty's heavy swings ended the battle
in the second round, and he Immediately
decided that he had at last had
found a vocation which would bring him
more wealth than anything he had YET
tackled.
One OF the first bouts was with Joe
Grim the iron man." of Philadelphia.
Tommy Burns saw him defeat Grim and
praised his work. Soon after he Joined
forces with Billy Mccartney, who is nov

with Carl Morris, and startled the pu'
gilistic world by knocking out that giant
hulk in five rounds. Since then McCar-
ty has improved rapidly, and there Is
every prospect that he will some day
become the undisputed champion Of the
world.

Chase Boosts Lajoie.

Il do not believe that there will be
another ball player like Lajoie. OF the
Cleveland Club" said Hal Chase, when
talking about great ball players the other
day.
Larry sure is a wonder. Taking every
thing into consideration, he is the greatest
ball player that ever lived. / know that
he is just as dangerous at the bat as any
other of the great men We have in base
ball. He is an easy-gOing Larry, with
a fine disposition, and he is one who does
not make any trouble.
He always has been the same. have
seen him make some of the most difficult
plays around second base look so easy
that the majority of the fans We're under
the impression that il was an easy
chance 1t is the way he has of gliding
after all sorts of grounders that makes
it look as il the play was an easy one.
But the ball players know different There
are many second sackers who could not
get to the same kind of plays.
AT the bat we all know what he can
do. He has come near killing third base
men with balls that have been hit down
that way. Pitchers trust to luck when
they let the ball go when Larry is at
the bat. He will never be forgotten as
one of the great men of the game when
his days are over in baseball"

Faith I'm Right Hand.
Palzer himself discovered that 1t was
not easy to reach Luther's face in any
thing like solid fashion, and he pinned
his faith to a right-hand body punch,
expecting, no doubt. to crack a rib and
turn the tide OF the contest that was
flowing all too swiftly against him.
McCarty hit with lightning speed, and
hitting at the right time. was as nimble
as a cat OH his feet. Over and over
again he watched for indications OF a
left lead on Palzer's part and scored in
advance OF his opponent. 1t was rarely
that Palzer landed squarely on Luther's
face, but It did look as though Al hurt
his man with the right-hand smashes he
placed below the heart These latter
blows connected only when PalZer's at
tack brought him 80 close to his man
that a clnch was unavoidable. Whenever
Luther elected to stand away and box
Palzer was all at by, and the misses he
made brought derision from his critic
supporters among the crowd.
One of the interesting things about the
fight was Palzer's capacity for punish
ment. For at least twelve of the eighteen
rounds he was as steady as a rock under
punishment. His head tilted or rocked
aside under the impact OF plunging lefts
or rasping rights. but II was back TO
normal position in an instant. Even after
his countenance was gashed and stained
a ruby tint he winked in an apparently
carefree. joshinS manner at the yelling
