BAN FRANCISCO. Jan. lS.-Poor I.u
thcr McCarty!
After developing from tlic nebula of
the White Hope horlxon ami taking on
the distinct shape of a champion, he Is
destined to find that there arc thorns
a well as theatrical contract In the
pathway of a newly crowned king of the
ring.
Luther Is about to start on what might
be termed a triumphal tour of the foot"
light belt. In order that his entry Into
New York may be both plcturcsquo and
imposing. Manager Hilly McCurney has
conceived the Idea of having Luther ar
ray himself In cowboy costume nnd ride
a bucking broncho tho length of Hroad
way, shooting up the town with blank
cartridges us he prances along.
It la not an absolutely original scheme,
for tho late lamented Stanley Ketchcl
once signalized his return to Pan Fran
clsco by driving a six-horse tallyho up
Market street from tho ferries.
But that's neither here nor there. The
danger confronting Luther U that Jess
Wlllord, who Is also a cowboy, may nlso
become possessed' with the wild west
spirit about the time that McCarty Is
electrifying New York.
Wouldn't It be a sight to be remom
bered to sec Jess costumed and mounted
In tho same style as McCarty come gal
loping along whirling a lariat over his
head? What a furore there would bo If
he should challenge Luther to a test of
skill In any of the feats that range
ride, excel In.
Such a thing may never happen, of
course, but It stands to reason that
Wlllnrd will adopt some means of re
senting tho slight placed upon him by
Manager McCarncy. For McCarnoy, In
response, to Wlllard's rcqtifst for a
match with McCarty, has told Jess to
Ko and get a reputation.
In the ordinary course of things It la
eminently proper for a fighter who has
proved his worth to tell a pestering
challenger of unknown caliber to go and
accomplish something, but this Is a
horse of another color. Wlllard, accord
ing to tho New York sporting writers,
had all the better of McCarty In a bout
in the big city last August, and It Mc
Carty weio inado of tho stuff that
champions are supposed to bo made of
he would evince a deslro to wlpa out the
indignity mentioned Instead of display
ing an inclination to avoid Wlllard.
It was poor tact on JlcCarncy's part
to resort to evasion of that particular de
scription, ir he had told Wlllard to ex
orclso patience and that his turn would
come aftor a while, It would havo been
much better.
It is known, of course, that McCarty
lias his mind set on a July 4th match
with Bombardier Wells, tho representa
tive Uritlsh heavyweight, and for that
matter, being an affair of International
nlgnlflcance, tho Wclls-McCarty prospect
will appeal to the sporting then of both
sides of the Atlantic.
Uut Wlllard. smarting under McCur
jiey's Ill-advised slur, will claim that
McCarty has not fully established his
right to stand forth ns America's pre
mier heavyweight and Wlllard's friends
will toko up tho cry.
It is a claltn, too, that cannot bo rid
den over roughshod. The Ungilsll aport
ii g puiiers are a unit In admitting that
ltombanllcr Wells la the champion of
Great Itritaln In the pugilistic line and
there should bo unanimity In this country
ns to the qualifications of tho helvywelght
who is to represent us.
Supposing a bout between McCarty and
Wells were arranged and that the critics
Hccepted ns a world's championship
struggle, even while harboring a sus
picion that Wlllard was a better man
thou cither Luther or tho Bombardier.
And supposing Wells won.
Don't you think he'd break all records
getting baok to Loudon with the tllle
nnd that tho way tho New York Yacht
club is sitting on the lid of tho chest
containing the America's cup would bp
but a mild form of protection to" tbeN
liluns that would bo formulated for keep
ing tho world's championship behind the
white cliffs of Dover?
Sure ns you're born.
Now there Is only one fair, sportsnmn
llko way of mapping out the white heavy
weight championship prosrnjri. In order
to qualify for a. bona fide championship
match, cither Wells or McCarty should
first give battlo to Jess Wlllard. If tlis
promoters would prefer to who ' McCarty
and Wells on account of the International
flavor of the struggle let It be distinctly
understood that the afalr in merely the
Hemi-flnal In the championship struggle.
Then Wlllard's right in tho connection
will be safeguarded. .
Tho writer holds no brief for Wlllard.
lut alter scanning the various reports of
the contest between Jess and "Luther
In New York last August. I nm fully
jiersuaded that Wlllard should not be
asked to stand aside for McCarty or
any one else. Tho argument may be used
that McCarty has Improved wonderfully
alnce he felt the force of Wlllard's
straight lefts and uppercuts. But who
shall ur that Wlllard has not Improved
In a corresponding ratio.
No matter which way It Is looked nt
there is reason for u WIllard.McCarty
inatcn- It should take place either before
the Wells-McCarty affair or after pro
,idn alwaVa that 'McCarty defeats
Well.

Norman Tabor May
Lower Present One
Mile Sprint Record
PROVIDKNCE. R. I., Jan. 18. Not only
Is Norman Tabor of Brown university
expected to be the next Intercollegiate
one-mile champion, but he stands an ex
cellent chance of breaking the present
record of 4:15i. held by John Taut Jones
of Cornell. Of course, It alt depends
upon the way In .which Tabor runs his
race at the Intercollegiate championship
That he possesses the speed and the en
durance neeeytary to accomplish such a
feat he has proven time and again, but
Tnbor Is what Is known as an Indifferent
athlete. He likes athletics, but, he Is not
the kind of n runner who leaves the
barrier with the Intention of tsjlng to
break records. If .ho were ho might even
hold tho mile record.
"Charley" O'Connor. Brown's track
coach, has had u peck of trouble trying
to Impress upon Tabor the necessity of
his running well up nnd keeping as close
to tho leaders at all sUgcs-ot a mile race
as possible, especially when Jones Is ono
of the lenders. It was not until the last
Intercollcglatea that Tabor elected to do
this, and ns a icsult liu and Jones ran a
dend heat jn 4,10y.
As a rule Tabor runs the fix furlongs
In not better .than 3:21, and covers the
final 440 ycrds In 55 seconds. He has run
the three-quarters In 3:l& In practice nnd
the mile In 4:19. apparently without over
exerting himself. This has led to the
belief that ho can run the three-quarters
in even less than 3:15, and still "have'
enough loft" to sprint through' tho last
quarter, which would Insure his' winning
and brcuklng the present mark even with
Jones competing against him.
Mclvln Bheppiird can run the three
quarter In about 3:16, but he does not
possess a sprint like that of Tabor. '
White Pugs Drawing
the Color Line in
Future Matches
. NKW YORK, Jun. 18,-The barring of
negro pugilists from battles with white
men for championship titles lifts prompted
favorable comment not o'nly In this coun
try, but also In Great Britain. 'Negroes'
still remain In some favor In Franco and
Australia, but In time It is believed that
boxing promoters In those countries 'will
compel tho colored fighters to scrap'
among themselves. Whnrover this' topic
Is discussed tho blame for the exclusion
of negro boxers Is placed upon the shoul
ders of Jack Johnson. In tho opinion of
many leading patrons of boxing Johnson a
elimination, which has met with favor
everywhere, will benefit the sport. Bafti
Langford and Joo Jeannette, nlso colored,
havo pronounced him a. disgrace to ,tho
ring, In which. Johnson never can defend
the title of world's heavyweight cltamphm
again. Johnson has forfeited the tltln
which should not have bepomo his prop
erty. Ho wop It from Tommy Burns, wh
would not have had a chance with Mich
men as John L. Sullivan, Bob FlUelm
mons, Tom Sharkey, Peter Maher, Kid
McCoy and J (iinos J, Jeffries.
Itt fact, Johnson was an acoldental
champion, who was fortunate enough to
whin Jeffries, when tho latter waft a
physical nnd nervous 'wreck. According
to precedent Johnson's title should have
been taken away from him when he re
fused to go; through with his fight with
Bam Langford In London shortly after
tho one-sided victory over Burns In Aus
tralia. Johnson subsequently refused
nuinorous challenges from Langford and
Jeannette.

NEW YORK, Jan. ll-Remember the
little nursery rhyme: "What goei up
must come down!"
There aro many Instances that might
be cited to show that this time-worn
adage applies, to the up, and downs of
iit'.itetlc existence as well nn to tho laws
of gravitation. Also that tho faster any
thing shoot, up Just so much tho faster
must it fall before It finally hits earth
or water.

tion Is nusscll .Fortl, ono of the most
marvellous toseers that over broke Into
the game as a first-year man.
Briefly, we. shall discuss Russell Ford's
limited major league carcort lie broke
Into fast company, with George Btalllns's
Yankees In 1910-tlio season tho Kilties
finished . second to the Athletics. That
was the year of tho trouble between
Stalling and Chase, In which the "Big
Chief lost out. That year Ford won
twenty-six victories and met defeat but
six times, He had the flno average of
S13. But tor th fact that "King" Colo
of the Cuba had an equally flno record.
Russell Ford woUld have proven hlmsielf
tho greatest recruit that over Jimmied his
way into fast company. As It was, his
crformanco was better than that of Cole.
for his team did not win nearly the samo
psreentago of games, whllq Ford worked
far oftener than did Frank Chanco'H
flashy southpaw.
At tile c!os6 Of 1910. despite thr, fact
tfat he was unable to cope with tho great
Math6wson In a city series between the
rival nmjoi league clubs, Ford wan gen
erally accredited one of the most start
line phenoms of all times. Tho follow
ing ycr, however, he began to show
slight evidences of mortality, in 1911
Fordl had a flno year a wonderful vonr.
and with a team that finished sixth, was
still 'able to win two-thirds of his games.
He finished the year wltlv twenty-two
wins and but eleveu defeats for the hand
some average of .fiW. Considering tho fact
that hi team failed to break even for
tbeaehdule of -164 games, this perform
Unoe .was almost as oredltable-ithough not
quite as that of Ford's Inaugural.
But Ford's big tumble came last year
under the Ill-fated star of Harry Wolver-
ton. it is quite true that he did as well

RUSSELIi FORD.
He was one of tho most marvelous toss
ers that ever broke Into tho game as a
first-year man. This was In 1910, when
his club finished second. That, year he
won twenty-six victories and mot defeat
but six times, hie avorago being .813. Tho
following year it dropped to .007. In 1912
he won thirteen. gamos and lost twenty
one. Yet tho experts think ho will come
back under Chance.
for a fellow wlio tho two previous years'
had displayed. such phenomenal class. In
1912 Ford ecored but thirteen triumphs,
as against twonty-one defeats. He was
knocked out of the box repeatedly, very
seldom went to tho" rescue of a pal and
was hammered hnrder than any other
pitcher on tho Hill. Off Ford's delivery
ten home' runs were rung up, moro than'
allowed by any other tosscr In the two
major leagues.
Ford's work lust season was disappoint
ing to his most enthusiastic admirer. Ho
did not look anything like the pitcher of
the previous two.yeurs. But there Is not
a club In cither -league that would lot
this fellow drift back ,to the minors with
out further -trial, -lie is:KtlIl regarded as
ono of tho very best.luirlers-.ln tho coun
try. No less a pcrsomtgo than 'John J.
McGraw declared as lato as last fall that
Ford was one of the i most wonderful per
formers he aver watched. It vaa after
an exhibition game between the .rivals
played as a sort Of prep "for the Giants
previous to the opening of the big clash
Only ."Woman Fight Promoter-in the World

T
with tho Rod Sox. McGraw started tile
game with his full ntrength, but he soon
Jammed in substitutes, for he realized
that Ford was too good to bo beatei.
After the gamo ho said:
"Ono of the greatest pitchers In the
bustnet-e, I never saw moro stuff than
this follow showed ua today. Talk of
speed! If Wood or Johnson has a better
fast ball than this fellow, I want -o
see it."
Now as to Ford's work last season. . In
tho first place he was over weight three
quarters of tho Beason. It Is pretty well
known that he was not entirely satisfied.
Previously ho had insisted upon working
every fifth day and. working regularly.
It was this plan that returned him sudi
a brilliant winner on hU first time out.
Ford got a bad start in the spring, too.
Like the rest of Wolverton's men he found
absolutely no benefit from tho training at
Atlanta. His big battery mate. Ed
Sweeney, was late In reporting. No other
catcher seems able to handle Ford as
can the boy from tho Windy City. Fori
had become discouraged before Swcenev
put In nn appearance. When he did gt
his old mate standby the club had fallen
Into tho ruck and there was no incentive
to take liberties with the good old whip.
The Kilties were out of the race.
Mr. Ford was guilty of another very
foolish move. Just ' about the time hi
began to round Into some sort of form lis
took unto himself a wife. That Is gen
erally considered rather bad form for any
athlete. And for this very reason Mr.
Ford Is more than likely to pluck him
self out of the diamond morgue the com
ing season and get back Into his old
time stride one of tho.very top-notchers
There la no reason why Ford should not
shine for mnny years as ono "of the very
brightest stars of tho mound. He has
.youth, strongth and .'skill at his com
mand. He Is the only pitcher Hying who
can break the "spit ball" 'cither, to right
or to the left at will and call the turn
so that IiIb catcher la-waltinK for the
proper slant. . HoHas 'terrific speed. and
a hop on his fast ball, that Is the equal
of Bender's at, the j Indian's very bcs!.

NKW YORK, Jan. 1S.-A. W. Soloman,
sucretary of tho Savannah Automobile
club, who was here In the endeavor to
secure the grand prize and Vanderbllt
cup races for Savannah, state that they
have no difficulty In preserving order
about the Southern auto race course.
"Wc have Instilled Into the minds of
the spectators that they must keep off
the course nnd that If they don't the
militia will give them a short shift. When
wp first started races there were tho
usual number of persons, who persisted
In Invading tho course, regnrdless of tho
dnn-age to themselves and tho racing
drivers. "You don't put us off the course,'
was their cry; 'It's county road and free
to nil.' Wo were greatly troubled by
thin attitude during the practice ses
sions and decided upon drastic measure
during the day of tho race.
"Those In charge of the soldiers nt
the principal turns were given several
sets of handcuffs and told how to deal
with trouble makers. It w'as a hot sunnj1
day and the race drew thousandth to tho
course A big majority obeyed Instructions,
but there wero a few venturesome spirits
wno insisted upon running out on the
course to secure a better view of the
racing cars. Ono man In particular was
warned back several times and finally
became abusive. The guards reported
tho case to their captain. Ho singled
out the man and ordered htm to keep
off the roadway, but was pushed aside
with the comment: 'Nobody ain't going
to keep me back, where I can't see thld
race!' 'All right," remarked Uio captain,
'I'll see that you get a place whero you
can see everything that's going on,' and
ho called twp of the huskiest of the
guards. The obstreperous person was
quickly dragged over to a telegraph polo

nnd tho rest of tho spectators saw an
