CHICAGO FIGHTER
DIES FROM BLOW

A coroner's jury today decided the
death of Frank Carbone, whose par
ents had reported the youth complain
ed of receiving a blow in the abdo-
men in a boxing match Thursday
night, was due to peritonitis, the. re-
suit of an ulcer several months old.
Chicago, Ill, May 26-Joseph Car
bone, an 1S-year-old boy, with some
promise of ability as a prize fighter,
died early yesterday at his residence,
1116 Tilden avenue. Thursday night
he went home in state of collapse
and told his parents he had been box
ing at O'Connells gymnasium, 500
South State street, and had been
struck in the solar plexus by man
40 pounds heavier. 1t was such a
blow that on Saturday caused the al
most instant death of Luther McCar-
ty, claimant of the white heavyweight
championship.
Friday morning the boy failed to
awaken. Alarmed, his father, Joseph
Carbone, a paper stock dealer, woke
him. The boy groaned and said he
could not move. He complained of
violent pains through the abdomen and
physician was summoned.
Saturday night the young fighter
grew worse rapidly and died in a few
hours after the most severe spasms.
The coroner's inquest resulted in
an immediate order to arrest William
O'Connel, proprietor of the physical
training school,; Carbone's opponent,
Jerry Sullivan, and an onlooker, Ed.
ward Herr. O'Connell was found, but
on assurance he would not try TO
leave town was not locked up. The
other two still are missing and orders
have been sent through the police sta
tions to look for them.
Sullivan is said to weigh about 21O
pounds and is 80 years old. Young
Carbone was something over 160, but
willing to take on the older man in
spite of the 9th RS advantage OF
weight and experience.

of manslaughter in the police court

DOUBTS AS TO CAUSE OF DEATH.
Numerous doubts were expressed
as to the actual cause of death. 1t !,
| did not seem as if there was sufficient
| force behind the blow to the heart to
cause death, several have declared.
Pelkey said he did not believe his
! punch actually landed near the heart.
! 1t was currently rumored McCarty
suffered from a slight weakness OF
the heart for several days, and this,
| in conjunction with the excitement Of
the fight and the landing of the unex-
pected punch, is generally blamed for
his death.
McCarty's body will be shipped to
his birthplace at Hastings. Neb.
The fatal ending will have the ef-
feet of putting the lid down tight on
boxing bouts in western Canada.

Lute's mother died when he was 2
