This Is tantamount to an admis-
sion that the principals did not con-
slider they were about 10 participate
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
pionship but he is not likely to re-
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 It than PellSy. 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 PelSy 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 1t there
is no desire to find out who is best
entitled to be called champion.
When Klaus came back from Paris
after whipping Papke II looked as IL
he was going to devour the rest Of
his classmates without sauce. But
he has gotten over all that and Is
content to engage In harmless tap

doubt. if he had gained Il by beating

However. Willie Is to engage in
more fighting shortly and il may be
that some of those who are calling
him a makeshift champion will have
more respect for him after his next

DAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-What
- terribly confused state the
- championships Of the various
pugilistic classes are in. There is
not a 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
uished 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
Carty was not the recipient Of even
a moderately heavy punch.
One Of the examining surgeons said
i'm 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
man living who can form a clear
opinion rs 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 PeIky 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
a fair contest displaces that cham
pion in the esteem of the public. In
this particular instance. though, IT
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.

NEW YORK. June AT least half
a million dollars have been wagered
in New York on the results Of the

leagues In other years there has

'DR0NE RIDERS
TRAINING FOR
MEET TUESDAY

r VERY rider at the Atlanta mo-
tordrome viii be sent five or
six miles tomorrow in an en-
durance test, preliminary to the open
ing race meet TUESDAY night. These
riders have to train like prize fight
ers to stand the tremendous strain
OF a flve-mile race, and Manager Noon
Hudson intends to be sure that all
Of them are well enough conditioned
now to stand up under a five-mile
race. This Is especially necessary, as
the final heat Of the Atlanta Sweep
stakes will be at five miles and four
riders viii be forced TO go that dis
lance.
D TDING a racing motorcycle Is a
~ lot harder work than II looks
and il looks moderately hard. Beside
the tremendous mental strain of
risking your neck at 90 miles an hour
there is the terrific grab Of centrifu
gal force.
one Of the riders explained IT this
way:
Can you imagine what the pull on
your motorcycle is to keep it in place
on a straight-up- and 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
q never did TIN / tried IL. The
first thing ! 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 IL 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
ftTT one AWFUL job to hold the
motorcycle steady when II gets
going fast. If there is the slightest
wave in the track, a little uneven
ness that you couldn't detect at low
speed, it is magnified to something
fierce when you get going fast. a
t0othpick would be big enough 20
give you a six-foot jump while lead
pencil In the way might spill YOU.
Then the throw Of the Centrifu-
gal force is an 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

you get going fast.

drawbacks of setting an early pace.
The thunder of pursuing teams keeps

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
Guard and Demaree, especially, being
due To the arrival of hot weather.
In st. Louis we struck such a torrid
