PENNANT RACES

NEW YORK, June AT least half
N millioE dollars have been wagered
in New York on the results Of the
pennant races in the two big baseball

Many Claim Heavyweight Title
Other Divisions Also Muddled

This Is tantamount to an admis-

in an orthodox championship match.
1T may be that after he has recov-
cred from the shock Of the expe-
rience, Pelky will claim the cham

ceive much homage from the public.
He will ind that there is a desire

man TO determine whether there is
anything in him, and that is all
Gunboat Smith has already claim
ed the title but he has no better
right to It than Pelky. The heavy
weight class is without a head, in
fact, and the best thing to do is to
arrange a series of matches, with
Willard, Palzer, Smith and Pelky as
contestants, and have the matter
cleared up.
THE middleweight situation is a
joke, and judging from the tao
tics of the men who compose II there
is no desire to find out who is best

DAN FRANCISCO, June s.-What
- terribly confused state the
championships Of the various
pugilistic classes are in. There is
not man at the head of any division
who can boast that his title is clear
of flaws.
Take the heavyweights, to begin
with. There is no denying that Jack
Johnson proved himself to be the
best of the big fellows, but Johnson
fell from grace and in his fall be
pulled the rest of the negro ring
men with him.
Mixed Queensberry matches we're
placed under the ban, and in order
to give emphasis to the fact that a
new order of things had arisen, Pro-
moter MCCarey of Los Angeles fur
nished a belt to be boxed for by the
white heavyweights OF the world.
Luther McCarty won 1t by defeat
ing AL Palzer at Vernon last New
Years Day. McCarty became a
mark for challenges but claimed the
right to put in a season at theatre
cal work He said he would be ready
to defend the trophy this coming
Fourth of July. and the chances are
he would have kept his word.
McCarty lost his life In the ring
with Arthur Pelky at Calgary on
May "a. and truth TO tell there is
considerable mystery in regard to the
cause Of his taking off. The first re-
port was that a blow over the heart
killed him. An autopsy revealed that
his neck was broken, yet Referee Ed
Smith, heavyweight Pelky. Manager
Billy Mccartney, Promoter Tommy
Burns and others declared that Nc
Carly was not the recipient Of even
a moderately heavy punch.
one Of the examining surgeons said
in all seriousness that he believed
the fracture of the neck was sustain
ed in a prior contest and that light
punch from Pelky merely finished
what some other opponent of Nc
Carly begun.
Statements like these only serve TO
muddle matters more than ever and,
in the writer's opinion, there Is not
a man living who can form a clear
opinion as to the cause Of the unfor-
tunate young pugilist's death.
DASSING over the grewsome fea-
L lures Of the affair, the question
is. has Pelky earned the right to call
himself heavyweight champion of the
world?
This IS something to provoke ar
gument. OF course the broad view
of the thing is that a fighter who
downs a champion in any kind of
fair contest displaces that cham
pion IN the esteem Of the public. In
this particular instance. though, IL
looks as though McCarty or some
che else. imposed certain terms in or
der that the bout should not bear any
semblance to a championship match.
To begin with. IT was to have been
