DOUGHERTY DEVELOPS A REAL HOPE FOR THE
 HEAVYWEIGHT CLASS

Jim Doughert3, who has been mix ed up with boxers for a number Of years, and who makes his home at Crum Lynne Pa. thinks he han de~ 've1oped a young fellow who wll1 prove himself the best Of all light heavyweights or midd1eweights in the business. The boy referred to is Will lieg Adams. He Is only a youngster. but scales around 1bs to 160 pounds, and Judging from the contests he has been putting up against such men as Knockout Baker, oG Philadelphia Johnny Howard of Brooklyn and Jim Williams, he has a right to figure him self among the real good men in that class. Adams recently fought Baker, who is considered very tough pro ing to good judges Of boxing, he made had a straight left Ja-b that travelled with such speed that Baker could not get away from it. He appears to have all the science necessary and he hits as hard as heavyweight The chances are that he will not long re- main a nafddIewefght, as he Is young and growing Dougherty, who knows all the tricks of the trade thinks that Adams. with a little more experience, will be able to beat Billy Murray, Al MCCOY and such men without any. trouble. If Adams can do this. then Jimmy Dougherty may make up his mind that he will have a pretty soft future before him. He will be given the acid test during the coming fall season and if he can travel the pace in the east he will find plenty of real try-outs in the west.

PELI1EY TO QUIT RING BECAUSE OF
 McCARTYS DEATH

Arthur Pe1key of Chicopee, Mass. who attained considerable notoriety through his tragic victory over Luther Mccarthy at Calgary 9, year ago last May, has anmpunced his retirement from the boxing game. Pelxey. who has just concluded a. disa strous. cam : paign in Australia, will soon return to this country. and he plans to go into business at Calgary with Tommy Burns, who managed him before the unfortunate affair with McCarty and since that time.
 PeIkey was one of the first of the so-called white hopes to come to the front when the clamor was raiseI af-. ter the defeat of JehEries and for a time he attracted considerable atten- ton. mainly because of his heavy hit ting ability.
 Since the bout with Adcc'arty Pelkey never showed any of the form of his previous bouts. It is generally thought that the sad ending of Mc- Carty unnerved him. Before the Mo- Carty bout he had fought Jim Barry, Soldier Kearns. Sailor White, Andy Morris. Jeffi Madden, Jess Willard and Tommy Burns. being quite successful in most of these bouts. Since the Mo Carthy bout Gunboat Smith stopped and during his Australian tour both Jack Lester and Sam Mcvey defeated him.
 These defeats. coupled with the fact that he Is more than thirty years of age, led Peikey to decide upon re- tirement as the proper move His decision to join Tommy Burns comes as no surprise. since tho two have. been fast friends for years

KRA FIN HAS PRAISE FOR GERM AM
 DE YMPlC SQUAD

Dr. Alvin Kraenzlein. the American athletic trainer. engaged by Germany to prepare her Olympic candidates for several syears to come arrived fn New York yesterday pr. Kraenz1ein em- phatically denied the report that he had decided not to return to Germany, and declared he will resume his con tract with the f6reIgners after a leave of absence of several months which he will spend in this country. Re- cent reports from Berlin stated that the American coach. dissatisfied with alleged insubordination on the part of his assistants who were said to be attempting to -tthrow him down. z would remain here on his arrivals
 That Germany will be d country worth reckoning with in future olym- pic games is the declaration of the former University of Pennsylvapia hurdler syve have just laid an axh- 7etic foundation in Germany said KraenzleIn, and while we do not ex pect to do much at Berlin in 1916s we look forward with interest to our showing in 1920 at Budapest
 ssAner1ca., believe. will add am other Olympic champion ship to her list at Berlin, but her team will havet to be very strong. for all the foreign counties are going to furnish stiff opposition.

M LOUCHLIN
 WINS FINALS FROM JOHNSTON

Boston. July so-11aurics E. Mo Loughlin easily defeated William M Johnston in the challenge match yes terday and as a result has g second leg on the LOngwood Bowl. He won in straight sets e-4s 0--4, e--1. Last year William M Johnston won the tournament and, as nTcLough1fn was principally concerned in winning the Davis cup matches at Ws1nb1edon, there was no challenge match
 In the tournannent jx1st 4nded Mo Loughlin met and defeated in straight sets N. ". Miles, T. e. Bundy. A S. Dabney, R N. williams. R. L. Murray and finally ". IT. Johnston. Not a set was won of him and only once did he appear to be pressed hard That was in his final match with Murray.
 On Che service Johnston was able to handle McIsough1 zaf1eHf1Ee shot better than either Murray or Will 1iams- He was not equal to the tell ing drives from the base1fnes and his attempts at the net were weak. 1Gc- Loughlin always appeared to have something in reserve His efforts were not anywhere nearly 90 great as those in the Williams ana Murray matches.

McGRAW GAVE BOSTON
 TIP ON OUTFIELDE.R
 COOK OF N. Y. YANKEES

When Luther Cook was with the Austin club, of the Texas League, John J McGraw encountered George Stailings. chief of the Boston Brvaes, one day and day when. George needed outfielders more than anything else in all this world.
 ''If you want young fellow who can hit and run and throw and do about everything that ball player should do, except field. go get a chap over at Austin named CoolS,'s said McGraw. '.Ail the things that have mentioned this boy can do, and I think he win learn to field. Me? I can't use any more outhelders than I've got right now without hiring an extra Pullman to carry lem in; but you take my tip on Cook.'
 Stallings did not take tho tip-or at least did not take 1t in time. and Old Sleuth Irwin came moseytng tall grass of Texas and snared Luther for the Yankees. Soon the young man was demonstrating just what McCsraw said. He could hit and run and throw, but he could not field.
 Chance, too, saw the promise in the lad at once, and he kept him at work constantly, barring brief absence due to Cooks Illness, until now Luther has acquired the rudiments of field- ing, and may eventually be chased among the best ball players in the land.
 He can certainly slam the ball. and he can throw and run bases with anyone in the league, while his f1eId- ing. hasfmproved fifty per cent during the past few weeks.

New York. Julx so7rhe fleet of the New York Yacht Club. including the cup defense yachts Resolute and Vanitie, is assembling today off Glen Cove, l.. l., for the annual cruise of the club which begins tomorrow morning.
