In the World of Sport
some OF LUCK'S
GREAT FAULTS
EFFORTS WILL BE MADE BY HIS
MANAGER TO GET The KINKS
TAKEN OUT OF SOME OF LUTHER
M'CARTY's BOXING MISTAKES AND
OVERsIGHTs.

A special from Chicago says that a
new wrinkle is to be introduced
in tn life of a worlds heavyweight
champion, and of course it aIludes to
Luck McCarty, the recognized white
champion heavyweight mitt artist of
the world.
Though McCarty won the title clean
and d~ecisively, his manager does not
believe he knows how to hit right.
Hence he is going to turn him over
to one of the most capable instructors
IN the business and see if his form
cannot be improved.
h contract has been made and
larry Gilmore, veteran lightweight
tighter of Chicago and n of the best
handlers of lighters in the business,
has been selected to give the cham
pton lessons in boxing.
The first of the lessons will be given
to McCarty some time before his next
important battle. H will spend at
least two weeks training and during
that period will be in the hands of the
veteran Canadian fighter constantly.
1T may be a big surprise and a huge
innovation to have a champion take
boxing lessons, but that's exactly the
idea" said Manager Mccartney. The
whole truth of the matter is this: Nc
Carly does not hit correctly with his
left hand. He doesn't get the right
power or force behind his punches and
! am going to find out the reason of
this,
II MS 1aultS can be corrected, why
not right now? They say 1t Is impos-
sible to teach an old dog new tricks,
but I don believe McCarty Is so old
now that he cannot be broken of for
mer habits and made to hit correctly"
Those who have seen McCsrty in re-
cent bouts declare that the big fellows
main fault is his inclination to pull
his punches" or draw back his body
hastily just as he shoots out the left.
Thus he loses much of his force, be-
cause 1t Is an old principle of boxing
that a man cannot Ian effectively by
shooting his hand one way and his
body another. A mere tap results.
1t will be Gilmore's aim to get the
big fellow to swing his body along
with his punches and thus get all OF
the force possible Jack of the fist. The
trick of stiff-arming also will be
taught-the best blows in boxing be-
ing those that are landed with the arm
rigid and without q bent elbow. There
is a cushion formed when the elbow is
bent and the same force cannot be OBJ
tanned,

VERY SMALL oUTLAY-TAkE
ADVANTAGE OF FORUM OFFER
PROMPTLY.

The great distribution OF Every
body's Cyclopedia through The Fo-

success. This week, Friday and Sat

ton. A new supply of books has been
obtained, so that every reader Will

Everybodys Cyclopedia is beyond
doubt the most useful set of books on
EARTH. 1t is fully illustrated with
beautiful coldTed plates, full page and
double page engravings and text pic
lures. 1t represents the equivalent Oh
a valuable library of reference books.
The price of the large c~yclopedia
sets is usually so high-from $50 to
~S100-that they are generally sold on
the installment plan. The publishers
of Everybody's C~yclopedia took advan-
tage of these facts, and from a revision
of various large and good cyclopedias
they have compiled all that is good, all
that is necessary.
The regular price of Everybodys
C~yclopedia is $12 a set, but next Fri
day and Saturday readers OF The Fo-
rum can have the set for only n cou-
pom and $2.35, as explained in the cy-
clopedia coupon printed elsewhere In
today's paper. .
These sets are too bulky to be sent
by mail, but out-of-town readers can
have them for the same amount, $2.35,
to be sent by express, shipping charges
to be paid by the receiver.

few miles west of York was driving
north on st. Charles avenue on his
way to put up his team at the livery
barn north Of the track when No. (,

around the curve from the west at a
tremendous speed.
The oncoming train being hidden
from view by the water tank Mr.. Win

fused to cross, but were on the track.
It was at this critical ~juncture that

CITY COUNCIL
ISCONMANDED.
TO MAKE APPOINTMENT ON
ELECTION BOARD RECON-.
MENDED BY REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEE.
DECISION PROMPTLY RENDERED
BY HIGH COURT AFTER
BRIEF CONSIDERATION
OF LAW.
FAIR ELECTION; HONEST COUNT
AND CORRECT RETURNS ON
VOTE ARE NOW
ASSURED.

The Supreme Court this morning
handed down its decision In the man
damus proceedings heard yesterday
aud granted the writ as prayed for
compelling the city council to ap-
point the election officials to hold
the coming city election that were
recommended by the Republican city
executive committee.
The case was presented on behalf
of the Republican committee and the
petitioners by attorneys Frank Amos
and VIII Mason and their argument
was answered by City Attorney Wal
ter Il. TIaggerty and Col. w. E. R.
ByrnG of Charleston. The court took
time to consider the facts as present.
ed and the law bearing upon such
matters and very promptly after con-
SidcratiOn rendered the decision fav-
Orable to the petitioners.
The case grew out of the action
Of the city council in ignoring the
political committees In making the
appointment of election commission
Grs, recognizing the progressive par
ty which has no legul status as a po-
ltical organization in the city, on
the election boards and refusing to
appoint the Republican commission
crS and chaIIengrrs as recommended
by the Republican committee, for the
purpose. as most people think, OF de-
fmuding the Republican party Of
its standing as political organiza>
tOn anu for the further purpose Of
debating the expressed will Of the
people at the polls.
One appointment that was made
serves as very strong circumstantial
Evidence that the council had these
purposes in view and that is the APP
pOlntment in one ward of man un-
der the title of progressive, as an
election commissioner, who is total
ly disabled physically to serve. 1t is
not charged nor believed that this
man would Intentionally commit any
wrong. or permit one to be commit
ted if he could prevent 1t, but when
il is learned that he recently under
went an examination for pension
on the ground of total disability for
blindness and deafness. and that he
cannot recognize his friends upon the
street except by their voice and then
only when spoken to in a very loud
manner. and that the Democratic
commissioners at this precinct were
Young and active men, it is plain to-
be seen that the fair play was not
intended. With commissioner who
