LATE PROMOTER STAGED STRANGE FIGHT

Death of McCarey Recalls Wolgast-Rivers ‘Double K. o.’ Scrap on Coast to Col. Joe Old-Time Matchmaker Arranged Bout in Which Referee Lifted Dazed Battler to His Feet and Declared Him Winner; Debate Still Rages. BY JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Writer NEW YORK. Feb. 3.—Tom McCarey is dead on the Coast. He was one of the last of the old line fight promoters. Tex Rickard belonged to that group. So did Jim CofTroth. Indeed, the three were contemporary rivals. Their promotional activities represent some of the more colorful chapters of the rugged sport. CofTroth is the only one of the three who is still alive. His interest In the spoil now is wholly academic. He lives with his books, his memories and his wines in his San Diego home. On the slightest provocation he will quote vou endless verses of Shakespeare. Asa change of pace he will turn to the Civil War, a subject on which he is something of an authority. Cornered, he will reluctantly admit there were a few better fighters in this bitter struggle than Jim Jeffries, or Abe Attell, his two favorite fist throwers.

Rickard probably will always be remembered as the man who lured Jeffries out of retirement to battle Jack Johnson and redeem the white

race (sic!); but some of Rickard’s subsequent operations in the fight industry made the Jeffries - Johnson thing look like a county fair exhibit in comparison. He promoted five different fights that drew more than a million dollars at the box office and he was the motiv a t i ng influence

behind the construction of Madison Square Garden, the most famous indoor sports temple in the world. Similar structures sprang up in Chicago, Detroit and Boston, all bearing the Rickardian touch McCarey—Uncle Tom. the boys I called him—confined most of his op- I erations to the West Coast. He was ! a power in the days of distance fights, when 20 rounds was the minimum for championships. They might still be fighting 20 rounders on the coast if McCarey hadn’t matched Jess Willard with Bull Young. Young died from the beating he took and the agitation that followed prostrated the sport for years. To detour for a second—the next time Willard fought he faced a human tiger by the name of Boer Rodel from the stable of James J. Johnston. Willard had not yet won the heavyweight championship and was still lacking the sophi. cication and shrewdness that are supposed to be peculiar to the position. Willard Still Jittery T regret to say Mr. Johnston imposed upon the gentleman’s immature insufficiency to the fulfillment of his own selfish purposes. Willard was still pretty shaky from his experience on the West Coast and the attendant public hysteria that followed the death of his opponent, so he was not exactly a raging tornado in human form when he arrived to do battle with Mr. Johnston's jungle man. “I'm sorry you had such a tough break out there,” greeted the sympa - thetic Mr. Johnston "and I want to warn you for your own good you will have to go easy with my man tonight. He’s got a weak heart.” Willard practically fought Rodel with one hand, his left. Whenever he would even look as if he meant to start the right, Johnston would pop up in the corner and yell. The fight went the limit. Mr. Johnston claims the newspapers gave his killer the decision. And now to get back to McCarey. He promoted any number of fights, including a mess of championships, but the fight for which he is remembered best was one for the lightweight championship. It brought Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers together at Vernon. Cal.. July 4. 1912. It resulted in the most fantastic climax in the history of toe ring—a double knockout! Well, What Would You Do? But it wasn’t ruled a double knockout. The referee. Jack Welsh, helped Wolgast to his feet, gave him the docision and thus saved the championship for the Michigan Wildcat. Old-time fight fans still argue about this one—was it a double knockout? Did Rivers lose on a foul? Was Welsh unduly solicitous of the champion’s interests? No other sport poses so many unanswerable and sinister mysteries as the fight ring. Suppose you were handling a fight that was going along fairly even and suddenly both men melted to the floor in a vapor of punches 1 and stayed there while you counted 10 What would you do about it? What Referee Welsh did was to help Wolgast to his feet and give him the decision. He claimed later Wolgast had gained his feet before the full count over Rivers, but this is merely one of the phases of that historic climax old-timers still argue about. At any rate the strange episode j made a permanent place for Uncle i Tom McCarey in the history of the j beak-bust.ng business.

Kautsky Team Annexes Lead in Loop Race Victory Over Tires Puts Locals in Position to Reach Play-Offs. BY HARRISON MILLER Kautsky a. C.s elbowed their way into first place in the Midwest Basketball League yesterday at the Armory by deflating the local U. S. Tire outfit, 36 to 32, to settle a few neighborhood arguments concerning the professional supremacy of the city and put the winners a notch closer the league playoff at the end of the season. Spurring the Kautskys in their second-half drive yesterday was the news that plans have been made for a round-robin tourney early next month. According to tentative arrangements the two leading teams of each division of the loop will engage in a series of games for the circuit title. Must Hold to Pace Games will be played on the court of each of the four teams competing in the play-off, according to plans. With the Tires and the Windsor Buses far down in the standing of the western division, the Kautskys will have to maintain their present pace against the Detroit and Chicago Duffy Floral quintets. It was a battle of pivot men at the Armory yeterday, with big George Chestnut wielding the most potent elbows under the basket. Seven of the 10 players on the floor came to the pro league as former centers. The “little boys” didn’t have a chance in the melees under the basket, and even Johnny Wooden found things too congested for his mad dashes under the hoop. Chestnut counted 17 points, many of them registered from long range. After Gene Demmary had tallied a charity toss for the Tires at the outset, Kautsky rolled to a 7-to-l lead. 20-15 at Half Leroy Edwards paced a Tire spurt to knot the count at 12-all, but Chestnut was instrumental in giving Kautsky a 20-to-15 margin at the intermission. Yohler hit a brace of charity tosses and Edwards and Shipp executed pivot shots to send the Tires out in front after the rest. From then on, it was a dog fight. Frankie Baird hit one of his long shots and Wooden found Gilmore asleep to take a pass under the basket to provide the winning margin. The league standings, as compiled by Frank Kautsky, owner and manager of the Kautsky A. C.s, follow; WESTERN DIVISION W. L. Pet. Pts. OP. Kautsky 7 3 .700 380 33!)

By United Press JOLIET, 111., Feb. 3.—A fantastic report that convicts had manufactured a large supply of explosives with which they planned to blast their way out of Stateville Prison was. declared without foundation today by State's Attorney WUI R.

Bowen, state director of public welfare, j continued their investigation into ! prison conditions in an effort to learn the motive for the killing iof Loeb. Both doubt the story of ; James Day. 23. who said he killed Loeb in self-defense after fighting off the young intellectual's abnormal advances. HERBERT M.
