PELKEY SAYS DRINK
10E 11 CONFESS
Those Who Know of Dealings
in Portland Insist Pugilist
Was Sober on Signing.
"INSIDE" FACTS ARE BARED
Bis Boxer Sore on Arrival From I.os
Angeles Burns' Delay In Send'
ins Money Cause of Expose
of Fake Fight.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
"Arthur Pelkey admits confession of
fake fight with Tommy Burns!" "Ar
thur Pelkey denies confession says he
was drunk." "Burns to bring charges
of criminal libel."
These and similar sizzling tele
graphic shots have so tangled up the
aftermath of the sensational expose- by
Pelkey of an alleged fake fight with
Burns at Calgary March 26 last, that
boxing fans over 'the country don't
know whether Pelkey is In a class with
a certain polar explorer or whether
Burns is the most abused mortal under
the sun.
While the writer has no desire to
add to the. worries of Tommy Burns,
the former champion's threat of crim
inal libel belongs on the vaudeville
Btage.
So does Arthur Pelkey's "admission"
yesterday in Calgary that he was
"drunk when he signed the papers In
Portland September i," which same,
confession was published In The Ore
gonian five days later per an agree
ment with Burns' heavyweight protege.
...
Now for a few "inside" facts that
will tend to unravel the tangled skein.
Arthur Pelkey was as sober as a
saint when he made his confessioa of
fakery with Burns. Acting on a tip
received from a personal frienJ in Cai.
gary, the writer pinned the 215-pound
pugilist to an. admission of crooked
dealing.
Pelkey at the time was in a recep
tive mood. He said that Burns had
given him a "rotten deal" during his
five weeks' vaudevillo tour down the
Pacific Coast. He cited that Burns
thought him a big farmer and always
hogged the spotlight; that Burns sold
him a dress suit for stage purposes at
"cost" price and then took 180 out of
his wages: that Burns cajoled him into
signing an agreement awarding him
50 per cent of his earnings, whereas
Tim aicGrath. had told him the proper
managerial percentaga was 26.
TJoIIta-u- had n tfllA nf WOA that Wfll

dollars of mine and If this is published
now he may say he doesn't owe me a
cent. Keep It until next Tuesday night
and by that time I can get to Calgary
and settle my accounts with him. Then
publish it."
The Oregonian kept its agreement
with Pelkey and held the sensational
expose until Tuesday morning, when it
was published, together with a fac
simile of the confession. Ignorant of
the speed with which news carries. Pel
key meantime had stopped off to visit
an uncle at Victoria, and Tuesday
morning found him at Victoria, and not
at Calgary, with Burns still custodian
of the Pelkey fortunes of war.
Pelkey admitted, when first inter
viewed at Victoria, that the confession
was true, and then, upon reflection, did
what many a man would have done un
der the circumstances, tried to crawl
from beneath the avalanche, hoping to
gain time for his settlement .with

created in the sporting world by the

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON'.
Eugene, Sept. 13. (Special.)
Arthur M. Geary, of Portland, for
two years graduate manager of
student activities at the univer
sity, has resigned his position
and will leave the last of the
week for Columbia University,
where he will completo his law
course. Mr. Geary's principal
achievement has been In the fi
nancing of the different student
affairs, eliminating a previous
yearly deficit of J1000 and in
place returning $300- to MOO a
year to the student treasury,
besides providing for his own
salary. In the furtherance of
this idea, he worked out a plan
of selling to the students at the
opening of the college year
tickets -at reduced rates that
would admit the student to all
football, track, baseball and bas
ketball games and all debates
and lectures provided on the
university campus
Geary was graduated from the
University of Oregon in the
class of 1910, having completed
his course in three years. He
won the Beekman oratorical
prize that year. The matter of
the election of Geary's substitute
will come before the athletic
council and the executive com
mittee of the Associated Students
probably next Wednesday.

test with Burns was a fake and he
cheated me out of my money is entirely
false.
"Tommy Burns has been the best
friend to me since I have been in the
boxing game. Previous to meeting him
all my arrangements were poorly paid,
not even giving me a living wage.
"I did not sign such a statement
with the sporting editor of The Ore
gonian. He dictated the letter and
wrote it out, and I copied it over. I
just came out of the hospital in Los
Angeles and was sick when I took the
boat, and I was also seasick all the
way to Portland, and I was advised to
take some brandy. Never having been
in the habit of taking liquor, I was
influenced to do so by would-be
friends. Under the conditions, I would
have done almost anything. Tim Mc
Grath kept poisoning my mind against
my best friend, Mr. Burns, and a bunch
of would-be friends were doing the
same to me. Burns has settled every
thing' satisfactorily with nie every
week and ha does not owe me a cent.
Burns and I are still together, and will
be until the end. Hoping this Is satis

Much amusement was furnished a
large gallery of spectators at the Port
land Rowing Club yesterday tiirc -h
the staplng of water sports new to this
city in its annual Fall regatta. Canoe
tilting supplied the bulk of the "funny
stuff." A four-paddle canoe race also
contributed its Quota of fun and ex
citement, as many spills took place,
both preparatory to and during the
race. Nine races were staged, and the
finishes all were' close.
A "dark horse" won the senior sla
gles championship, due to misfortune
and a raft of logs. Klmer A. Hanson
was the winner, with Fred It. Newell
a close second. The race carries with
it the Gloss singles championship lov
ing cup, to be held by the winner for
one yar.
There were Ave entries Captain
Pfaender, who was backed to win;
Fred it. Newell, Elmer A. Hanson. E.
O. Gloss and Arthur Alien. The race
for R quarter of a mile was nip and
tuck, with all five scullers well
bunohed. Pfaender and Gloss fouled
each other three times and were put
back from a lead of a length to sure
tailenders. A log raft was swung into
the stream at Windeniuth, and this in
terfered with Allen, Hansen and Newell.
The racers had to pull far in to the
east bank of the river to avoid the
logs, and In the confusion of a sharp
turn Gloss crashed into Allen and the
latter was upset.
Strength Decide! Content.
From there the race was narrowed
down to Newell and Hanson and
weight and strength told, Hanson win
ning a well-earned race. Pfaender
won the event last year The officials
looked for a close battle of strength
between Gloss and Pfatnder, and they
were leading the field when their col
lision happened.
Gloss did the "come back" stunt
nicely. He will scull lor the club next
year.
In a special match lace between the
senior doubles, in which there was
much rivalry, Fred Newell and Dave
Cooper won by four lengths in a mile
course from Chris Dyilund und Elmer
Hanson.
The four-oared races were exciting,
inches only separating the two light
weight crews, though both fours pulled
out of their course and the crew, at
which Letz was bow, lost the race by
jamming into the rowing club dock
three strokes from the finish. lno
winning four was composed of Dave
Cooper, stroke: H. S. Uigelow, No. 3;
Harry Gammie, No. 2; Virgil Hamlin,
bow, and the losers were William
Mathena, stroke: Harold Wenster, AO.
3; Lester Woodruff, No. 2, and Jacques
Letz, bow.
In a half-mile race, the heavyweight,
Ed Gloss, stroke; George MeFaul, No.

Arthur Allen, bow, pulled away from
George Faber, stroke; Walter Resing,
