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 find that there is a desire
to see him in action with some good
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 Il than Pelky. The heavy
weight class is without 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
ties of the men who compose 1t there
is no desire to find out who is best
entitled to be called champion.

DAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-What
y 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 were
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 It 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 theatri-
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 a 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
2 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-
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 champion in any kind of
a fair contest displaces that cham
pion in the esteem of the public. In
this particular instance. though. IL

riders have to train like prize fight
ers to stand the tremendous strain
of a five-mile race, and Manager Noon
Hudson intends to be sure that all
Of them are well enough conditioned
now to stand up under a hve-mile

the final heat of the Atlanta Sweep
stakes will be at five miles and four
riders will be forced to go that dis
lance.
p tDING a racing motorcycle IS a
N lot harder work than II looks
and it looks moderately hard. Beside
the tremendous mental strain OF
risking your neck at 80 miles an hour
there is the terrific grab of centrifu-
gal force
One of the riders explained II this
way:
Can you imagine what the pull on
Jul AAbAolNe Alt IL 10 httB II III DlAAN
on a straight up land down track
There has to be enough centrifugal
force-the push you get against the
track from riding in a circle at that
high specific overcome the force Of
gravity. And you all know what
a force that is II you never fell fur
Their than out OF bed.
We'll, this same force that is pull
ing the machine in an unnatural pos
itiou against the track, is pulling Just
as hard on you.
Did you ever think Of that
Il never did TIL l tried IT. The
first thing l knew old Centrifugal
had me by the back Of the neck and
was trying to push me through the
gasoline tank. You never felt the
beat of It in your life,
You will notice that all the racing
machines have pads rugged up and
the riders plaster their bodies against
these-or rather the centrifugal force
pulls them against them. And even
the strain on your shoulders and neck
is FIERCE.
at rs one AWFUL job to hold the
L motorcycle steady when il gets
going fast If there is the slightest
wave in the track, a little uneven
ness that you couldn't detect at low
speed. il Is magnified TO something
fierce when you get going fast. A
toothpick would be big enough to
give you six-foot jump while lead
pencil in the way might spill you.
Then the throw Of the centrifu-
gal force is all the time pushing you
up the bank and nearer and nearer
the top. And clear at the top is sud
den death. You have 10 keep fight
ing against that all the time when
you get going fast.
Yes, indeed: this board track rae

were overworked in the great effort
made by Doom to hold his lead and
open up the desired gap on the pur-
suing team. That is one of the
drawbacks of setting an early pace.
The thunder of pursuing teams keeps
you at a high nervous tension.
THE Giant pitchers, who were
i much off form during the first
two months of the race, are coming
around into steady toilers now, the
result in the cases of Tesreau, Mar
ouard and Demaree, especially, being
dine to the arrival of hot weather.
In ST Louis we struck such a torrid
temperature that the sudden change
hurt the work of the stan slightly.
The Philadelphia twirlers were at
the crest of their form in the cooler
weather and are slowing down as
they encounter the heat. Therefore,
7 figure we are better fortified TO
tour the West than the Quakers. 1t
NAV not all work out I'm this way
but the best | can give are deduc-
lions. | never made any successful
pretense at being a clairvOyant.
Only good pitching will stop the
Western clubs on this trip of the
Fasteners. as all four of the teams
in this section are hard mtters. with
the exception of Pittsburg, they all
lack pitchers, however. Any one or
the Western clubs can outbat the
Quakers, man for man, the pitching
being equal. 1t was only the excel
lent twirling that gave Philadelphia
its long string of victories when Chi
cago. PittSburg, Cincinnati and St
Iouis came East. With the pitch
ing staff off color. as 1t appeared to
be in New York, Philadelphia is
going to have a tough time winning
half Of It's games in the West.
The Giants can bat with any Of
the Western clubs, and we have
pitchers who should surpaSs those
the teams in this section have TO
offer. With superior twirling, we
should. therefore, find the journey a
profitable one. Only i'm Pittsburg Will
we meet a team that has pitchers the
equal of the Giants.
DHILADELPHIA'S best chance to
/ take the flag was to gain a big
hmm on the field so that the team
would have an opportunity to slump
later along. We put a big crimp In
the Ouakers' anticipated lead on the
hunch when we took four straight in
New York. The Phillies were at once
dragged back TO within hailing dis
tance of the pack. And when club
like the Philadelphia team is within
mailing distance of the pack 1t Is
going to be caught. The question
now is: Who will catch IT.
The successful pursuer Will be
either the Giants or Pittsburg. With
both Boston and Brooklyn slumping
badly on this trip, the Pirates are
Going to have a fine chance TO fatten
their standing while on their home
grounds. The Philadelphia rooter
naturally answers that the Quakers
will be meeting such teams as St
Louis and Cincinnati in the mean
time. That means nothing soft from
nv point Of view.
Tomorrow l will discuss the other
teams.
