Cowboys Manager Wouldn't Let Him Quit Fights
CHAMPION MCARTY DRIVEN IN TO PRIZE RING

or take the bottle on the head. Nc
Carly decided to risk the Heinen
fists in preference to a smash with
the bottle and a few well directed
punches sent Heinen to sleep in the
very next round. That bottle, bran
dished in the corner by Hart, saved
Luther from disgrace that night.
and perhaps has done much to make
a great fighter out of boy who
wanted to quit when he took his
first hard punch on the jaw.
In justice to McCarty, it may be
said that seldom is a fighter game
until he has learned to take a
punch. Many a champion there
has been who hated to stand up
under the gaff in early fights. But
the scrapper with the true spirit
and the natural ability always gets
somewhere, as McCarty has done.
Luther may not be the best heavy
weight we ever had, but he is some
fighter, believe us, and it will take
a great man to trim him.
MoCarty No Longer "Hope."
Any man who can administer to
Carl Morris, AL Kaufman. Flynn
and PaIzcr such decisive beatings
as McCarty dealt out is something
more than a white hope-hes
rival on equal footing with the
best in the world.
But we approve decidedly OF Nc
Carty's decision not to mingle with
any of the colored heavies. While
he might go out and whip Sam
Langford and the Johnson party. he
might not, also. And history has
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-01-07

convinced us all that it is best for
the game to keep the white fight
ers separate from the blacks. Lang
ford and Johnson can fight it out in
Africa if they want to, for all we
care, but Luther McCarty stands
today as the recognized heavy
weight champion of the world. And
he will defend that honor only
against men OF his color.
Just how Tom McCarey. whom
the writer considers the shrewdest
of all promoters. figures that Bonn
barber Wells will be a great card
with McCarty we can't see. The
boxing world knows what Palzer.
McCarty's recent victim did to
Wells in their New York fight. The
Bombardier is a clever fellow and
smashing hitter for q man of his
size. But against behemoths who
can hit, la McCarty and Palzer,
he is too small and frail to hold his
own for any length of time. Wells
would be a ten to one shot against
McCarty.
The British champion weighs
but little over $50, and Palzer
smashed him to sleep in the third
round after being almost knocked
out himself in the opening session.
Wells will be setup for McCarty
if they put it over. But the inter-
national aspect of the thing no
doubt viii insure McCarey some
thing OF a gate
Jess Willard is the one party we
see now with a chance to lower the
McCarty colors inside of a year.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Th Sa
vannah automobile race
course, made famous by vic
tories of Wagner and Bruce Brown
and recognized as the greatest road
course in America and one Of the
greatest in the world, will be the
scene Of the next Grand Prize and
Vanderbilt Cup races.
This was made certain by the ac-
ton of the Motor Cups Holding
Company yesterday, when. after
conference with representa- tives Of
the Savannah Automobile club, the
two road classics of the American
continent were awarded to the
Georgia city.
The dates have not been decided
on. They will be run at some date
to be selected later. between No
vember of this year and February
% of next year
The reason the dates were not
decided upon was because Of the
necessity of a thorough canvass
among the manufacturers to de-
eide what days viii be most salts
factory to them. For the main
chance is ENTRIES. If enough
can be secured the races win be
the greatest America has ever
known. But to get enough it will
be necessary to get in touch not
only with American manufacturers
but with those of the entire world.

u ASEBALL has recently been de

no less an authority on cinches
than Charley Ellison, the noted turf
pIunger In a significant interview
recently he said,
Il don't believe that old crowd

have the old tracks opened

Because they are pretty well
mixed up In baseball and getting
the money without taking a chance.
There is Frank Farrell. who
used to race one of the countrN's
foremost stables. Blues. great

is AIr9 Taft owning the cubs and
the Philies, and he probably has
holdings in several other clubs.
Judging by what heard the last
time I was East. he is really the
man who is putting up that big
new park in Brooklyn
1T is my tip that New York isn't
in any great hurry to re- establish
horse racing, as the old crowd is
doing well enough in baseball and
appears satisfied Then the great
old sport certainly received solar
plexus blow when MIR. Whitney and
Mr. Keene died and MI Belmont

SLAPS AT RECALL by PHONE" j."

fers Another Method.

t;oy. Hiram Johnson Of California. who
arriN ed in town yesterday to take part in
the New Jersey campaign. said that the
Progressive party in California is as
strong AS il was during the last Presi-
dental campaign, and that the party will
be continued as "A distinct national polit-
cal party. The recent Impeachment Of
Gov. Sulzer shows, he said that the
method of recall by tho people as prac-
tised in California is infinitely preferable
tn recall by IA boss over the telephone,
AS in every new party" Gov. johnson
said, there are some timid. shrinking or
self seeking individuals. some to whom
the lure of Office is more potent than
principle, but these are very slender
minority of the Progressive party.
"Amalgamation may come. but il will
be amalgamation by which the rank and
file of other parties become Progressive
and thc Prog ressve platform IN its en-
tirety is accepted. The so-called leaders
of the Republican party of course are
wholly unable to comprehend Progressives
and they view a great body OF men ami
mated with sinRleness of purpose to ac-
complish good for their fellow men as
something unreal and Utopian.
"In California we believe In tho recall
of public officials who may be recalcitrant
or corrupt In New York the people be-
lieve In the recall OF public officials. but
by different method. In California we
believe in the ability and discrmlnat ton
OF the people not only In electing officials
but in recalling them. In New York.
where the citizens probably believe that
in choosing "a candidate of One boss or
another they are exercising their prcroga-
tive as American citizens, the recall is
exercised by tho simple eXpedicnt Of u
