ARTHUR PELKEY
To QUIT RING
Tommy Burns Hope viii Go In
Business With Manager

Chicopee, Aug. 3.-Arthur Pelkey has
retired from the ring. He will return
soon from Australia aftera an unsuccess-
full tour in that rar off country and
enter business at Calgary, Alberta,
with Tommy Burns, the former worlds
heavyweight champion, who has been
acting as his manager for the past
year and a half.
Up to the time that Pelkey took the
count before Gunboat Smith in the
sixteenth round at San Francisco on
New Years day he was considered one
OF the leading white hopes in the coun-
try His rise to fame was rapid, the
tragic victory which he won over Lu-
Their Mccarthy, recognized at the time
as the best white heavyweight In the
business. at Calgary year ago last
May. bringing him into the limelight.
Mccarthy was killed in the bout, dying
at the ringside after being floored by
Pelkey in the opening round.
For n couple OF years Pellley made
his headquarters i'm North Adams,
where he met and defeated all corners
before the local club, and established n
reputation that resulted in bringing
about his meeting with Mccarthy.
Some of the best bouts on his record
previous to that time were with Jim
Barry OF Chicago. Soldier Kearns OF
New York Sailor White of New York,
Andy Morris of Boston, JEFF Madden
OF Boston. Jess Willard OF Wyoming
and Tommy Burns Of Calgary. Tommy
Burns thought he saw in Pelkey a
coming champion and took him under
his wing after n disastrous trip by the
Chicopee Hope to New York city.
Since his bout with Mccarthy
Pelkey has never shown anything like
his previous form, and many believe
that he never afterward quite recover
ed his nerve. The fact that he is get
ting along in years, being past 80 is
another explanation of his failure to
live up to expectations.
Among others who beat Pelliey on
the Australian tour were Jack Lester
and Sam McVey. Apparently the Chi
copee Hope despairs to ever reaching
the top of the ladder again.

INCREASE BASEBALL COST.
Possession of Stars An Asset, But
Extensive One.

The high salaried ballplayers, some
times considered the clubs greatest
assets because OF the advertising they
get, have caused another burden to be
placed on the shoulders of the mag
mates which has forced the latter To
wonder if the possession of these stars
is all that it has been cracked up to

The disturbed state Of mind of the
team owners is the result of the work
mems compensation law, which places
a tax upon the ball clubs and recognize
es a professional ballplayer as a work
man engaged in a hazardous occupa-
ton.
Figuring the mighty Christy Ma
thewson as drawing Il salary OF $4,000
a year, il means that the New York
club must part with s655.50 additions
in order To insure him under the new
law. Henceforth every split finger
spiked hand. broken leg or strained
arm will draw down its indemnity, ant
the players may have all hospital fees
doctors charges and cost Of medicines
paid for out of the funds provided by
law. The compensation insurance il
"a serious thing for the club owners
for it hits every team which plays il
New York state.
The National league clubs, for in
stance, will have to pay approximately
$4,000 each per annum to Insure thell
players. Then the ground forces also
come under the law, meaning an addi-
tional premium OF several hundred
dollars. And what hits the big leagues
also delivers a slap at the small clubs
which play only week END games.-Ed

DISTURBER Will

U.S. Has Fight Ahead In Motor

New York, Aug 3.-The Disturber
", which will try to win back the
British international trophy, will have
a hard job to defeat the British and
French speed boats, and IL she is sue
cessful she will have accomplished
something worth while. She Is prac-
tically an unknown and untried boat.
In her few trials here she has never
been driven at top speed. Running UNI

ing at high speed that tells the tale.
All Of them can go well at moderate

less everything Is working well in uni

will have to meet the Maple Leaf w,

expected. The French will also have
three boats, one of which has shown u
mile in close to a minute, according to
the report of her owner. A. Despujois.
The French boats were fast last year
for part OF the races. but were too
lightly constructed and broke down.
The Motor Boat club OF America
challenged last August, and in spite of
everything done to wake up some in
terest only one boat could be found to
go abroad, and that boat may break
down as soon as she is pushed hard.
She will not have much time to tune
up, as the races are scheduled for Aug
ust 10.
There are several high speed motor
boats in this country. and there are
many men interested in the sport who
can well afford to send boat to rep
resent this country, but for some rea-
son or other they are Indifferent about
the International trophy which was
held here for three years.
