Talking It Over WITFf JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, July 30 A COMMUNICATION is at hand from Will McCarney. who is touring the fistic provinces with young Herr Schmelins. the German heavyweight The Schmeling tour began July 8 and is scheduled to end Aug. 16 in Minneapolis. All told, the professor has twenty-three bookings for the young Herr and he intimates the grand cleanup of grands will be close to $50,000 net. This is very important money to McCarney and his two associates, Joe Jacobs and Pete Reilly. Up till now they have got practically nothing out of the German in spite of the tact he is admittedly the biggest card in the heavyweight division. tt a a The an*vr<T to that i* the McCarney and hia associate* are not recognized by the Nee York boxing commission * th' young Herr - * manager, and molt of the money that ha* been taken in haa gone to him and to hi* native manager. Arthur Bulovr who. though repudiated bv the fighter, is recognized bv the comral**ion. a a o OF course McCarney and his associates know what they are doing. In due time they will have the fighter wholly to themselves. The Bulov, contract will have run its course and he no longer will have a finger in the financial pie It has been suggested that by this time perhaps the ' oung Herr will have developed an independence which will prompt him to handle his own affairs after the manner of Luis Firpo. This is not altogether impossible. but McCarney and his boy friends are not the type who go into big business deals without a definite guarantee of future returns. see It is a safe bet the' will let their money out of the young i.'err In one way or another. The current tour, for initance. i* proving quite profitable. None of this icoes to Bulo’v according to my understanding and most of It goes to McCarney and hi* gang. Give them their price and the* ’ll p-rmit the youne Herr to go ovr Niagara Falls in a paper drinking cup. They're game that way. a u a an interesting feature IN CONNECTION WITH THE ITINERARY WHICH M'CARNEY INCLOSED IN HIS COMMUNICATION IS THAT HE HAS SCHEDULED THE YOUNG HERR TO APPEAR IN AN EXHIBITION MATCH AT CALGARY. ALBERTA. ON AUG. 9. IT WAS AT CALGARY THAT M'CARNEY'S CAREER AS A FIGHT MANAGER SUSTAINED A TRAGIC SETBACK. a a a SIXTEEN years ago Luther McCarthy was killed in that, town, McCarthy was a product of the “white hepe” era and was generally j accepted as the most promising fighter of his day—far more promis- | Ing, for example, than Jess Willard, j a contemporary who ultimately won : the heavyweight championship. Me- ; Carthy was the greatest prospect of. the period and McCarney appeared ■ to be on the road to great riches, j McCarthy had a clergyman friend In cand he offered to meet; Arthur Pelkey there and assist in j some sort of church charity affair. a a a A few minutes before the battle was Scheduled to start the clergyman climbed through the ropes and made a talk to the crowd He spoke on the uncertainty es life. Turning to McCarthy he said •'Who can tell what the divine fates have , In store for any of us. Even this fine specimen of fighting man runs a deadly ; risk each time he dons the gloves Going into the ring he never can be sure he will leave it alive. " b a u M'CARTHY WAS KILLED IN THE FIRST ROUND. IT WAS NEVER DEFINITELY DETERMINED WHETHER HE WAS KILLED BY A BLOW OR BY THE FORCE OF THE FALL. EIGHT MINUTES AFTER HE DROPPED FOLLOWING AN EXCHANGE OF BLOWS IN MID-RING HE WAS DEAD. 808 C CONSIDERING the tragedy of a McCarthy, it is somewhat surprising to read that McCarney has booked the Herr to appear in Calgary. You would think this is the one place he wouldn't book him.

Eighth Straight Victory Adds to Cubs' Lead'Over Pittsburgh
Detroit May Be Scene of Schmeling Go Garden Officials Favor Michigan City for Bout With Sharkey. B" Ited Free* NEW YORK. July 30. Max Schmeling. German heavyweight, vhose boxing license has been revoked by the New York state athletic commission, and Jack Sharkey, Boston sailor, will meet in a bout to be promoted by the Madison Square Garden corporation next September, according to William F. Carey, president of the corporation. The place tor the bout, Carey said, has not been selected, but the United Press learned Detroit probably would be named. Threat by Commission The announcement came in direct defiance to the New York commission, which said any person or corporation in the siate of New York which negotiated for a bout involving Schmeling would face revocation of its license. Carey minimized the threat of the commission, contending the boxing body’s jurisdiction did not extend beyond the borders of New York. Frank Bruen, vice-president of Madison Square Garden corporation, is in Detroit and has conferred with officials of the Olympia arena concerning the possibilities of holding the bout there. Wouldn't Meet Scott The chances of holding the Schmeling-Sharkey bout here faded when the commission suspended the German boxer because of his refusal to meet Phil Scott of England at Ebbets field under the promotion of Humbert Fugazy. While Detroit seems to be the pre- j ferred city for the bout, other places | are under consideration. Among them are Chicago and Jersey City. Championship bouts of fifteen rounds to a decision are permitted in Michigan.

Jimmy Smith, up on Wood Axton, was slightly hurt when his mount fell trying to avoid the prostrate riders and horses. Fronk and V. Smith were revived at the hospital. The accident was attributed to the greenness of the 2-year-old horses, which started swerving onesixteenth of a mile from the wire.

About a half-dozen of the boys are back at the university making up work which they did not complete successfully during the regular semester. About one-third of the others are doing hard physical work such as hauling ice, digging ditches, labor on road construction and threshing. Another third have easier jobs as life guards, counsellors at boys’ camps and playground directors. About one-sixth of the group are boys of wealthy family who apparently are spending most of their time driving the car for father, playing golf, taking mother on a tour, or off to Europe with some of the family. The other sixth are boys of fairly well-to-do families who are doing clerical work, but practicing football in the twilight h~urs in the neighborhood playground. It has been- an interesting checkup in more ways than one. After analyzing these various groups, I find that the real backbone of the team next fall will be from that group in the first third who are doing the hard physical work, the boys who are threshing, doing road work, digging ditches and so on. These are the lads who are getting real economical sense of the value of the dollar. They are getting the hard knocks and are comirfg back in shape to play football away ahead of the others. That these hard jobs in the summer will in any way hurt their ability later on as doctors, lawyers or business men is not to be imagined. (Copyright, 1929, by The Timest

Poor Start by Love Is Aid to K.C. Blues Get Seven Runs First Two Rounds: Indians Fight Hard. B '/ Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 30.Indians and Blues were to stage the second fracas of the series this afternoon and it was believed Ken Penner would be sent out in an effort to turn back the league leaders. The Kansas City pastimers got away to a 7 to 0 lead in the first two innings off Ruel Love in the series opener Monday and the Indians never were able to catch up. although they made a great fight all the way and forced George Murray to give way to Marion Thomas, southpaw, in the sixth. The* score was 10 to 6. i The Blues collected two runs in the first stanza and five in the second, and in the eighth, off Byron Speece, they got three more. Tits were thirteen for Indianapolis and eleven for Kansas City. The “breaks” were with the league leaders for several line drives, walloped by the visitors, went straight into the glove of the home fielders. And furthermore, the Blues got more than their share of hits on infield rollers that went safe. Both Gerken and Knothe got hits of this type in the eighth that helped in the three-run rally. Riconda was the leading hitter of the afternoon, with a double and two singles. Triples were poled by Grigsby of the Blues and Speece of the Indians.
