LUTHER M'CAHTHY'S FIGHTING POSE.
I.udi.i McCarthy, who will fight Jim 1 Ijnn for the heavy
weight championship of the world in Los Angeles December 10,
has IM-en alxiut everytliing else except heavyweight champion.
He hiut ix-.-n a district messenger boy, cowlx>y, farm hand,
lumberjack, deep sea suitor, bill "sticker," roustabout, and many
and various other things, i>f all the fighters now in the ring he
has hnd the most picturesque career,
Luther McCarthy was born March 17, 1802, on a ranch own
ed by his father, thirty miles outside of Lincoln, Neb. Luther was
always outdoors and most of the time astride a horse.
H4g mother died when he was
less than 2 years of age, but It
was not until his father sold the
ranch, In 1901, that Luther struck
out for himself making his first
Btop at the home of a relative In
Colorado Springs, Colo. Here he
NO
stayed for nearly two years, at
tending school, much against his
wishes. He had no liking for the
classroom and to %vold it took
"French leave" In the night and
started away alone —and ipennl
les3. He wasn't 12 then.
The old wonderlust again took
hold of the big boy and he made
the Jump to Los Angeles. In
Southorn California McCarthy
spent several months, then Jour
neyed back to St. Louis, but did
not tarry long, making tracks for
Boston, Mass. Once there Mc-
Carthy hiked to the wharves and
shipped from the Argentnle capl
man." From there he shipped
twice around Cape Horn, then on
a Norwglan bark for China and
Japan. It was off one boat and
onto another for three years with
him, finally landing back in
Bu«noa Ayres and then making
his IBKt trip on the water, "jump
ing" the boat on which he had
shipped fro mthe Argentine capi
tal to Boston, when ittwas outside
of Mobile.
Having seen the greater part of
the world, McCarthy drifted Into
Culbertson, Mont.; ho. learned
there was to be a battle In the
town and decided to stick around
and see the fuss. He tied in with
one of the principals as sparring
partner. He had, from his ear
liest youth, liked boxing and
whether aboard ship or on land
never let pass an opportunity to
fight.
Jan. 7, 1911, he went In ag a
substitute for a tighter who had
"run out" of a match against
Watt Adams, heavyweight cham
pion of Canada. McCarthy put
out the champ In the second
round. ,
He and Adams afterward went
on an exhibition tour and Mc-
Carthy attracted the attention of
Tommy Burns by beating Joe
Grim, the "iron man" of Phlla
dephla. Tommy looked the big
cowboy over and told him h» was
liable to be clianiulon of the world
some day. McCarthy, with this
encouragement, plunged Into . the
game In < good earnest.: '• : •

Preparing for the hardest week

this week getting the plays down
to a fine point. Thursday the
team leaves for Oregon where it
meets the Willamette eleven on

of extra men when the games
come so close together and with
fetich strong teams, Coach Ghorm

The Willamette team has made
a fine showing this season while
the Indian team Is said to be very
strong. When the locals reach
Salem they will have a store of
trick plays under their caps and
depend on these to win form thetr

Sporting Observations In
The Sporting World
It Is open to suspicion that
Ad Wolgast will consider
New Orleans a rather warm
climate from now on and
also consider some of the
New Orleans people warm
folks, especially one boy of
the Crescent City named Joe
Mandot.
Our Idea of nothing to
play in this part of the coun
try at this time of the year
Is a pastime that the sport
ing Bcribes now and again
refer to as a game of base
ball.
Truthful report recently
Bald that Clark Griffith kill
ed an enraged deer by hit
ting It between the eyes.
Thats nothing; Corkey once
killed a two-pointer by slap
ping It on the forebead with
a bed slat.
From good authority we
learn that checkers Is a

Imagined it was an affliction.
Why this injustice? Sea

given an automobile and
went on the stage. This year
Cobb wao not given an auto

answer? Is Cobb afraid he

The city policemen are to
