FELKET9 SIGVEO STATEMENT
CONFESSING TO FAKE.
Arthur Pelkey'i signed statement
in which he confesses to connivance
in a faka flM with Tommy Barn
at Calgary March 1 last, follows:
"Dear Sir Tommy Burns and I are
through our partnership. Burnt
cam to. m when I was detained by
the police for killing McCarty and
mad me sign a contract to give him ,
50 per cent of my earnings and pay
half of all expenses. He then signed
a vaudeville contract, but 1 had prac
tically nothing when we finished our
tour.
"Further, he made me fake our
six-round fight at Calgary last March
so as to save himself before his
friends. We rehearsed In hi garret
several times. He took on knock
down, but I had to take two. al
though I can lick him easy.
"He took advantage of me at every
turn and I don't want any more to
do with him. When we were show
ing he always Talked about himself
and tried to be the star, as he
thought I tra a bis farmer.
'Truly yours,
"ARTHUR PELKET."
On the back the 115-pound heavy
weight seeker after Jack Johnson's
crown. Inscribed the following post
script: "And he was always talking about
his travels m London, Paris and
Australia, and about all the lords and
dukes he had met In his travels
abroad. "ARTHUR PELKET."
.
Stuns by a guilty conscience and
smarting under alleged mistreatment
by Tommy Burns, Arthur Pelkey,
world's heavyweight title claimant, yes
terday canceled Burns' managerial con
tract, and simultaneously unbosomed
a confession that will atir the boxing
world to Its vitals.
In a signed statement delivered to
Roscoe Fawcett, uporting editor of The
Oresonlan, Pelkey makes the startling
charge that he and Uurns. the latter
at one time worUi's champion, faked
tneir six-round fight at Calgary last
Maich ii.
Pelkey allesres that Burns lured him
West from Chatham, Cmt-. and then
finding him broke, forced him into the
"ttxed" match and staged nightly re
hearsals of the battle in his garret.
Expose la Seasattonal.
This sensational expose was drafted
in the Perkins Hotel in Portland sev
eral laya ago, signed and sealed by
Pelkey and delivered over for release
September 9. The breaking of the seals
yesterday revealed its sensational con
tents, i'elkey stopped off here en route
to Calgary for a tlnal settlement with
Burns and evidently utilised the In
tervening time to close his account.
Burns owns two haberdashery stores
at Calgary, but also operated the box
ing club and stadiur. where the pugilis
tic battles were staged. It was under
Burns' wing that Pelkey killed Luther
JdcCarty, American champion, at Cal
gary May 24 last, and thereby annexed
claim to the title.
"Our six-round fight was called a
draw." says Pelkey in his confession,
' speaking of his match with Tommy
Burnt.. "But we had it all 'framed up.
I could have whipped him easily, but
he wanted to make a good showing
before his friends there and made me
.take two knockdowns to one for him.
Rehearsals Under Cover.
"Burns made me sneak around by
a back way to his house every night
for a week prior to the fight and we
had everything down pat. He was to
knock me down in the second and tlfth
rounds and I was to put nim to the
mat in the fourth.
"We got away with it all right, but
The crookedness of It has been hurting
me ever since," added the 215-pound
giant, as tears trickled down his cheeks.
"I don't want any more of Burns. I
want to tight square. I have never
done another crooked thins in my life
and never will again.
Pelkey says he got J600 from the
fight and Burns $2700. The French-
Canadian giant says his knockout of
Andy Morris in eight rounds May 1 at
Calgary was on the square, as was his
fatal battle with Luther McCarty May
4.
While here, en route from Los An
geles to Calgary and back to Chatham,
Pelkey unfolded a few details of the
recent Burns-Pelkey vaudeville tour
down the Pacific Coast that constitute
lurid reading.
Contract Made In Jail.
Pelkey says Burns coerced him into
signing a contract giving him 50 per
'rent of all his earnings, while he (Pel
key) was in jail at Calgary, charged
with the killing of McCarty. Pelkey
says, furthermore, that Burns made
him pay half the expenses, which, he
alleges, consisted mostly of wine sup
pers for Burns' sporty frK-nds.
"During our sparring exhibitions in
Portland. San Francisco and Los An
geles theaters," adds Pelkey, "Burns
made me box under wraps against him,
but all the time he slammed and
banged away at my broken nose. I
had 13 pifces of broken bone extracted
in my operation at Los Angeles.
"Many nights I could not sleep on
account of the pain, but if I kicked to
Burns, he would threaten to cancel the
tour and, as he had all the money,
there was nothing for me to do but
take h's rough treatment."
Johnson Story Faked.
Pelkey declares that the talk of an
offer to tight Juck Johnson In Paris
was framed by Burns out of whole
cloth. Pelkey says Burns faked the
dispatch from Paris, attributing it to
a Hiend named Iratt.
"I drew the color line when I first
started fighting, and that still goes."
declares Pelkey. "I had a fuss with
Burns over the fake business when he
gave out the story to the newspapers
in San Diego, but he said he had built
up a fortune and knew how to run the
business."
After settling accounts with Burns
at Calirary Pelkey expects to take a
good rest at his home in Ontario, after
which he will invade New York for
battles with Willard. Gunboat Smith.
Moran and other heavyweight title
aspirants.
Theater Man Xot Surprised.
"Well. I can't say that I am sur
prised." was Can Flood's, comment

when told of Telkey's break with Tom
my Burns yesterday afternoon.
Larry Keating and Dan Flood man
age the Lyric Theater, where Pelkey
and Burns had an engagement several
weeks aso. Keating Is a brother-in-law
of Burns and through him Flood
has become well acquainted with the
situation.
"Last Sunday night Dr. Russell, a
personal friend of Burns and the sur
geon who treated Pelkey's nose In the
south, called on me at the theater,"
said Flood. '"He told me then that a
break could be expected almost any
day. While they were on the best of
terms when they worked here, I knew
that all was not right when Pelkey
was in the city last Friday night.
"He came down, here and his temper
was somewhat up. I knew that at the
time there was not much love for
Burns, especially when he told of the
financial condition in which Burns had
left him more than once.
"He borrowed $10 from me and tele
graphed to Burns. In the morning I
went with htm to the telegraph office
to have him identified, so I know he
did receive some money from Burns,
From what Dr. Russell told me, I be'
lieve that the whole thing is a frame
up between Pelkey and Tim McGrath,
While in the south Pelkey and McGrath
became intimate. Now Pelkey breaks
with Burns. He probably will settle, go
to his home in Canada for a while and
then announce to the world that Mc
Grath is to become his manager."
"Ridiculous," Says Burns.
CALGARY. Alberta, Sept. 9. Tommy
Burns tonight characterized as ridicu
lous the statement by Pelkey that their
fight of last March was "framed up.
"The fight was on the level," declared
Burns, "although I believe that I could
have put Pelkey out in the fourth
round If I had wantad to.

BEAVERS HAVE EDGE
Nine-Game Lead Locks Good
to Fans of Portland.
SEVEN WEEKS YET TO PLAY
Wolves and Venice Have Hard Task
to Displace Mackmen Seven ' of
Team Batting Over .300.
Chadbourne's Work Shines.
With seven weeks to go approxl
mately 47 games Portland's club in
the Pacific Coast League is nine games
to the good and in excellent physical
condition for the final dash. Manager
McCredie voiced his pennant prediction
in San Francisco yesterday, ana appar
entlv Mac's optimism is well founded.
Venice days four of the final seven
weeks at home, but Portland has three
of the seven on the local heath, so that
advantage is not material, bo tar as
Sacramento is concerned, the Wolves
are at home five weeks, and to a man
up a tree it might appear that Wolver
ton's fighters are more to be feared
than Hogan's.
But overcoming a nine-game handicap
in a stretch of less than oO games is
quite some task, and as Sacramento
plays but one more series against port
land the final week at Sacramento
Sacramento's chances are not really as
bright as those of Venice. Venice Is
scheduled to battle Portland two series,
and that will give Hogan's crew the
opportunity to worry the Mackmen.
They open here next Tuesday.
Last week Portland simply walked
all over the poor, forlorn Oakland
champs on their own lot. But, while
the Beavers were walloping Oakland
six games in seven a record of 18 wins.
in the last 21 games against the Oaks
Venice was maltreating the strength
ened Seals In the same manner. The
count ended Venice six games and San
Francisco two.
Consequently, Portland's gain of 14
points in the table in the week is only
two points better than Venice's. Sac
ramento gained six points. Among the
second dlvisioners. the Seals dropped
from fourth to fifth position, receding
12 points. The Angels slumped two
points and Oakland 17.
e
Walter Doane and Elmer Lober, of
Portland, continue to lead the Coast
League swatsmiths with averages ot
.318 and .313 respectively. Gus Fisher
la also up at .310. Among the new .300
clouters is Bill Roagers, scrappy cap
tain of the Beavers.
The leading hitters are: Doanc. .318
Lober, .313; Fisher, .310; Bayless. .813;
Rodgers, .306; Speas, .307; Johnston,
.304: Krause, .311; Lindsay, .301 and
Maggart, .300.
It will thus be seen that of the first
ten batters Portland has seven. Some
batting!
Jimmy Johnston, of the Seals, stole
two bases last week, and is now up to
96 for the season. And seven weeks to
go I
Carlisle leads the run-getters witn
90, being closely followed by Johnston,
88.
In connection with Portland's won
derful spurt down the home stretch,
the work of that stellar outfielder.
Chester Chadbourne, has been some
what overlooked by most fans and
critics alike. As a matter of fact,
Chadbourne has been performing super
brilllantly. ' In the last IS games Chad
bourne has batted .320 it was .375 last
week against the Oaks and in all
other departments he has been a won
der.
Imagine one man scoring 20 runs in
three weeks! Well, that's what the
fleet-footed gardner has done. In that
stretch of time he has pilfered eight
bases, sacrificed twice, accepted 49
chances in fielding without an error,
and his batting has garnered six two
baggers and two triples.

CLUBMAN DISPLAYS PUNCH
Sailor Scores Thrt.e Knockdowns hut
at Finish Is Diziy Under Rain of
Blows Bont Best Since Ketch
el and -Thomas Fought.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9 "The best
fight since Ketchel and Joe Thomas
fought 32 rounds at Colma,"-was the
verdict of the' old-time critics tonight
when the referee gave a draw to Bob
McAllister and Sailor Petroskey at the
end of 20 rounds.
Petroskey and McAllister fought 20
rounds to a draw a month ago, and
the decision then was much questioned.
Today -the fight was even closer.
On the score of points McAllister
must be credited with 14 of the rounds.
But, on the other nana, r-eiroaney
scored three knockdowns one In the
18th for a count of six, and two In the
19th for the count of eight. McAllister
came back in the 20th like a whirlwind
and had Petroskey staggering and
dizzy.
Interest in the fight centered on Mc
Allister's punch. He showed today that
he had it. Petroskey had only two
blows that he could land. One was an
overhand left swing that cut McAllis
ter's lip and the other, after the 14th,
was a right hand uppercut.
At one stage or another both men
were tired, but Petroskey was consist
ently the aggressor. Petroskey in the
18th sat McAllister on his haunches
with a right hand uppercut. McAllis
ter took the count of six and forced
the fighting for the remainder of the
round. Petroskey was very tired when
he took his corner.
In the 19th Petroskey landed an
overhand left swing that dazed Mc
Allister, and followed it with a heavy
right' uppercut that put McAllister on
the canvas. He rose still groggy, and
after a fusillade of blows was again
sent down for a count of eight.
In the 20th McAllister was the ag
gressor. On the whole it was generally ad
mitted that McAllister she-wed improve
ment. He showed coolness and recu
perative power, and wnenever he put
a punch to Petroskey's body there was
power behind it.
