MCARTY KILLED
BY HEAVY GLOVES

Calgary. Alberta, May 26-It devel-
oped today that eight ounce gloves in
stead of the customary five ounce
gloves were used by the fighters in
Saturdays tragic fray. This became
known when members of the northwest
mounted police seized the gloves for
evidence to be presented to the cor
oner's jury this evening.
McCarty and Pelkey had agreed to
use the lesser weight gloves, and, it is
said, when the heavier ones were
brought into the ring with the excuse
that the five ounce gloves uninten-
tionally had been left in Calgary, which
is five miles from the scene of the
fight, McCarty's manager objected to
their use until McCarty overruled him.
1t generally is conceded that the
burning of the Burns arena last night
added the only needed blow to put a
quietus on the boxing game in Alberta
province
c. r. Mitchell, acting premier of AL
berta, said that the law which prohibits
professional fighting in Alberta would
be rigidly enforced.

Barons Win Fine Shutout Game

While the Louisiana State university
and Tulane viii not enter teams in the
Southern Amateur Athletic union meet
to be held in this city ON June and Z,
their stars nevertheless will compete, but
under different colors Reports say that
the Tulane stars will compete under the
colors of the ST. Paul Athletic association
of Covngton and the Louisiana State
stars under those of the New orleans
Young Mems Gymnasium club.
Among the Ole Lou stars who will ao-
company Tad Gornley. physical director
of the Young Mems Gymnasium club. are
Reid, Upton, Galloway, Lewis, Dupont,
Dutten, Newhauser and Elmer G. Jeffer-
son.
Upton is one of the best sprinters in the
south. He is credited with two Victories
over Coleman of Tulane in the 30 yard
dash and one in the century dash. Last
month he defeated Hoover of Texas il,
Austin, running the 100 yards in 10 sec
onds fiat
Reid in the weights and Galloway in the
quarter mile are also good men and VIII
make things Interesting in the races in
which they are to compete. Newhauser
and Dupont are also good men. Lewis in
the hop step and jump, Dutton in the
lavelin and 56 pound weight, ana Jetef-
son in the three mile run are ones to pe
reckoned with.
Among the Tulane stars who will COM
pete under the colors of the st. Paul
Athletic association are Coleman, Mont
gomery and p. =. Werlen.

SOUTHERN STARS COMING

FOR GREAT FIELD TRIALS

when the latter broke the southern record
, for the half mile oy one and one fifth sec
onds. This old record of 2:06 1-5 had stood
for over % years and was held BY r. NJ.
Aue of San Antonio, Tex, who formerly
ran under the solors of the Mission Ath-
letic club.
+. 2. Werlein, who was captain of tho
1918 Tulane team, is the champion high
jumper of the south. He Is hoping 70
raise his record in the coming A. A. l.
meet.
With these men in the meet it is safe to
predict that this will be the biggest meet
ever held under the Southern Amateur
Athletic union and that many of the old
southern records are doomed to the shelf.
In Il dispatch 10 this city Mike Dona-
hue, athletic director at Auburn, states
that it Will be impossible for Auburn to
enter track team, as that team has been
disnanded.
1t is probable that Vanderbilt will enter
its relay team in the \. y. L. meet. This
relay team is the fastest one that has ever
been in the south and this year IT smashed
the old mile record beyond recognition.
An effort is beins made to bring Lewis
OF Clemson and gin of Vanderbilt to Bir-
rninsham to compete in the \. a. [. meet.
These two are great rivals and are con-
| sidered by experts to be the best milers
in the south today. Last Week at New
Orleans Gill barely nosed out Lewis in
the mile run of the S. 7. a. A. and broke
Lewis record for the mile.
On account of his inability through lack
of time, d. Il. Price of the birmingham

The death of Luther McCarty, white
heavyweight champion of the world,
who was killed by a blow under the
heart in a bout with Arthur Pelky in
Canada while the largest crowd ever
collected there to witness a boxing
match looked on In horror, has de-
stroyed the hopes of enthusiasts of
finding white hope within the near
future.
Pelky, who seems to be the only
other in the limelight Is compara-
lively unknown In pugilistic circles. He
Is one Of the new crop of heavyweights
which sprang up after the defeat of

never been a clever boxer, although he
was feared as terrific slugger who

Louisville, Ky, May 26.-Rudolfo, a A.
year-old colt, well-ridden by Jockey Lof-
tus, won the Kentucky handicap, the
richest American turf event. at Douglas
park today and set a new track record
of 2:05 AS for the mile and a quarter.
Officially the track was pronounced
good" but the track record was equaled
once and broken three times in the six
races of the opening programme of the
meeting.
The II starters in the handicap includ-
ed some of the crack 3-year-olds that
have shown class at spring meetings, but
the race went to an older horse and
gained a point for those who contend a
really good horse is at its best a A.
year-old. Rudolfo won the race from a
3-year-old, Ten Point, after the latter
had led for most of the distance. Away
