| Match on a Foul.

Montreal, May 25.-Stanislaus Zbysz-
ko was given the decision over Con-
slant Lemarin, last night, on foul In
the first period of scheduled best =
out-of-S matches. Lemarin adopted
rough tactics. early in the match, IN a
lnixup the men toppled from the ring,
Zbyszko cutting q cash over his left
eye Both men were obliged to retire,
as they were covered with blood from
Zbyszko's wound. On returning, Lee
marin used his fists and finally when
ZbysZko was bearing his shoulders to
the mat the Frenchman with a crotch
hold, fouled so deliberately that the
Pole was given the round.
Zbyszko tainted and was carried
from the ring. Doctors pronounced ms
Injuries too serious to permit MN u
continue the match. The referee award

was rife and while MeCarty seemed
the general faverite. Pelkey was not
without his hackers. who staunchly
declared that "a surprise as in store
for McCarty.
Referee Ed Smith of Chicago made
the preliminary announcement and
amid cheers of encouragement from
the respective followers. McCarty
trained to 200 pounds and Pelkey, out
weighed him by 10 pounds, shook
hands for the fight that was destined
Ito be Luther McCarty's last.
At the outset neither showed any
disposition to close. McCarty started
the actual mixing with wild swing
at Pelkey's head, which missed him
by several inches.
They clinched and on the break
away Polkey got his first blow, an up
percut to McCarty's jaw. MrCarty fol-
lowed with a swinging right that just
missed Pelkey's ear and followed this
attempt with hard blow to his heat-
Ter opponents mouth.
z 1t was after this singing attack
that Pelkey, feinting to uncover Nc
carty's guard, planted driving blow
just under McCarty's heart. The i'm
pact sent McCarty Keeling to the
ropes. Not sound issued from the
stricken heavyweight as he slowly
sank to the canvas and was counted
out by Referee Smith.
Luther McCarty was born at Lin
coin. Neb., on March II, 1892. His fa-
Their was an Indian half-breed and his
mother of Irish extraction Standing a
trihe over 6 feet, inches. he vas
physically powerful yet a comparative
ly weak hitter. His best blow was a.
rignt uppercut which he used almost
continually in clinches.
He first sprang into ring promi-
nence when he defeated Carl Morris
at Springfield, Mo-. on May 8, 1912. Nc
Carly was Immediately hailed as a.
real white hope" but failed to live up
to the reputa ton. His best battle was
with Al Palzer at Los Angeles, last
New Years day, when he defeated the
conuueror of Bombardier Wells in Is
rounds. His last fight previous to the
fatal battle of Saturday, was a 10
round victory over Frank Moran at
New York. April 80.
Arthur Pelkey, whose blow over the
heart caused McCarty's death. is enc
of the new crop of heavyweights which
sprang mp after the defeat of JeHrles
by jock Johnson. He halls from CHIC
opee Falls, Mass, and is powerful
six-footer who fights at about 2oo
BOUNDS. While never a clever boxer, ne
has always been noted as terrihc
slugger, with a knockout blow, either
right or left hand. He has fought a
number of bouts throughout the East,
usually meeting third raters with rath-
er Indifferent results. His two bouts of
Importance were against Jess Willard
at New York, last July. and Tommy
Purns at Calgary, several weeks ago.

y
against the moral indignities to wo-
men contained in the Anglican mar
riage service. has been drawn up by
the Spiritual Militancy League, and is
to be sent to every clergyman of the
Church of England, and to all persons
whose engagement is announced in the
daily papers.
Altogether fifteen eindignities" are
quoted. The first is contained in the
words 'obey him and serve him."
which the bride is required to repeat
while the bridegroom is not called
upon to profess any equivalent defer
ence or subordination. The mani
festo states:
This indignity can be removed
either by the deletion of the words
"obey him and serve him" or by the
insertion Of ..obey her and serve her"
in the corresponding formula to be
said by the bridegroom. Wise and
good husbands find as many occasions
to obey and serve as do wives
The second complaint is the ques-
ton, who giveth this woman To be
| married to this man. while no cor
responding question Is put concerning
| the man.
This indignity can be removed
either by emitting the existing guess
ton or by adding to it, Who giveth
| this man to be married to this wo-
| MANI The present one sided giving
away is a humiliating survival of u
| (false) status for women"
Other alleged indignities are:
| THAT as symbol of the marriage
| band ring is placed upon the finger
| of the bride, while none is placed
| upon that of the bridegroom
THE bridegroom alone says: With
all my worlds goods l thee endow-
| The words never have been true, ana
have often been the very opposite OF
truth"
1 COMPLAINT is also made that one OF
| che psalms to be sung addresses itseif
wholly to the bridegroom: Thy wife
shall be as the fruitful vine upon the
/ walls of thine house." etc. The
memorial proceeds:
I'VE protest that this psalm shall be
4 omitted, or be supplemented by
another addressed to the wife, and
announcing that her husband snail be
as upon the walls of her house.
1 Another OF the luuiShitlSo 40 al
the prayer that asserts that out oil
man woman took her beginning. The
memorial states:

Calgary, Alberta, May 25.-Arthur
Pelkey, from whose stiff right nook
near the heart Luther McCarty fell
dead in the ring at the Burns Are
ma. Yesterday afternoon, will face
charge of manslaughter in police
court here. Monday The Royal Nort''-
west Mounted Police, today, completed
the necessary papers in the charge
placed against him.
Just before the death of McCar.y
was announced it developed, today,
Pelkey had slipped into his street
clothes at the request of his trainers
and was taken to his hotel in an au-
| tomobile. Ii was not until he had
washed and dressed that he learned
| of McCarty's death. He had started
| from the hotel when officers arrived
and took him into custody.
iAn autopsy was held over the dead
/ lighters body late last night, and an
Inquest will be held, tomorrow after
noon. The result of the postmortem is
withheld, pending am inquest.
Numerous doubts were expressed
/ today as to the actual cause of death.
1t did not seem as though there was
sufficient force behind the blow to the
| heart to cause death, several have de-
clared Pelkey said he did not believe
| that his punch had actually landed
near the heart.
1t was currently rumored here, to-
4 day. that McCarty had suffered from
a slight weakness of the heart. the
last few days and this in conjunction
with the excitement Of the bout and
the landing of the unexpected punch
4 are generally blamed for his death.

So the Butcher gladly consented to

That is. there are certain cells of the

1t is also found in much smaller
quantities in many other body tissues.
1t is now recognized that If we
starve our body evil results happen
Our body demands many different
chemicals to feed it, these chemicals
being the same matter as constitute
our various cells If it should so
happen that in all we ate there was
nothing to feed those cells. death
would quickly follow. If we starve

a phosphatized oily substance found
in the yolk of eggs. they declare
that without lecithin our nerve CEN
tiers cannot perform their proper
functions, and that nerve and brain
exhaustion really results from a pav-
erty of lecithin in the system. This
may be caused through taking no dtet
that supplies sufficient lecitfin or
through some fault that makes us ex..
pend more of the lecithin than we
can repay.
In cases of nervous people physi-
clans have found that the administra,
ton of lecithin corrects their ner-

tents to gain in weight and to feel
extremely we'll. If this is the case an
egg diet is extremely valuable not
only after fasting. as the early obs
servers of Lent learned, but in the
case of people suffering with nerv-

lecithin is great aid to those who are
not sufficiently nourished.
The most fruitful source of lecithin
is the egg and it is also the easiest
to procure. People who have been
in the habit of eating an egg every

some form of nervous disorder should
probably increase their egg diet. 1t
