lews of ths Sport World EXCITING CONTEST ENDS IN DEFEAT OF WALTHOUR For Ihp first llm* on hi* oirn stamping ground. when all condition* wore favorable, Bobby Walfhmir. the local favorite, who holdi twentywvrn «r morn world * records to niolor-p*ee«l cyrli* events, all of ’em from the fonf-mllc up to tin* thirty-mil*, was beaten In the flve-mUt three-bent event at Piedmont park W»*dne*d*.v evening by Hughey MeLenn, the Boat mi boy. The me* waa well worth seeing. and from the pop of the first starting gun until the starter flred twlee to end the last heat (several laps before It was really over) It was n mere matter of surmise who would In* the rfe tor. While Hobby was conquering more worlds on the other able of the big pond, his Hoe- eat competitor for world's honors, “Mark." was doing stunts on elfeular trneks In tin* laud of tlu* free and the brave. Nineteen rare* he captured while Hobby was on Ids tour abroad, and. ns Hobby admitted sev eral days ago. after the walk-awny with llnll, of "Merrle Highland," "he's n good rider." Walthour raptured the llrat heat by scare* fifteen feet in 7:23 3-6. The seeoiul heat was ran off In 7:21 and was by far the most ex citing of the three, ns It was n continual see-saw between the riders. Neither, how ever, gained nt any lime more than a quarter of a lap. The third heat might have lieen a disastrous one but for the rool beads of the pneers. After the Imys had traveled around the track some forty-six times and MeU*au waa several yard# to the good, the starter caught the contagious ex citement of the 1.000 or more spectators and "sprung” two guns. Hobby held strad- lly to his pace, lint McLean wavered and probably would hi\ve thrown up had not the I nicer given him some encouraging high signs. The riders continued around the cir cle. completing the race before the gun was again fired. The lasf heat was spun off in 7:44. The record film* for five miles Is 5:61, made by Walthour May 31, 19)4, nt Charles llher track. Thursday night Hobby will have the chalice to get even with Ills Hostou rival, ns they pair off for a fifteen-mile go. The amateur event Inst night was on* of the slowest which has yet lieen pulled off lit the track. Norton captured the race, with Taylor second and Menken third. Time. 2:26. Til* llrst beat went to Norton, with Taylor sec ond. Time, 2:19. Taylor won the second, will. Howard neroifit. Time. 2:2.1. DISLOCATED DOPE ABOUT DUBIOUS DAY’S DOINGS Well, any way. on* out of three Is not been running pretty bad from the leaders on their own grounds, hours ns a tisuiil thing. Now If luck will hrenk right In New Or leans all will go wyll. For l.lttle Hock and Memphis should prove reasonable easy. Still In second pine*. Shreveport took the lead away. Wonder If New Orleans will gobble second place. Another Hit for Morse and no more errors. Whltey Is surely back Iii form. Byrne mode more runs Thursday timn all the other tuemlters of his team put to gether. And nt Hint he secured ouly out* bit. Sparks struck out n half dozen ulii and gave only one base on laills. Also he made a couple of litre assists. The Mississippi Myth la surely n good pitcher, even If he doe* loae once In a while. The game Wednesday went through Iii one hour and thirty-two minutes, which Js a little faster tlmu usual. Thu games have "llug" Raymond, the limn with the scram bled brains, pitched a four-hit game Wcdhesduy and won. If he will stick to the game and take care of himself lie will be In shape to come back to fins* A com pany next year—but never again to At lanta—not while Hilly Smith Is the mouth piece for the local association. Two shut-outs In the Amerlenn league Wednesday. St. l/uils did It to Itoston and Chicago to Washington. (•lade mid IMitrcn fought n good fight In the St. I^nils-Hostou game.

Hoth the Yankee* and the Nups are fighting hard for llrst place. Huns were fur from plentiful In the innjor leagues Wednesday. The sixteen team* to gether made only 35. or about two to the team. And yet It took 119 hits and a fair sprinkling of errors to complete the work. B. Squires a Socialist, Unionist and Pugilist By Private I .rased Wire.

San Francisco, June 14.—When Hilly Nolan and his pugilistic protege, Battling Nelson, pawed through here a week ago on their way Fast, Nolan had a hrart-to- lieart talk with Kddle Ornney relative* to future matches in which the Ilattlor Is to figure. Nolan ngreed with Ornney that Septem- lw*r 9, the anniversary of the Hrltt-Nelson match, would be n suitable occasion for a daylight contest with Nelson as one of the principals. Further than that, Nolan empowered Ornney to arrange nu event for the date In question nud select a suitable opponent for the Datfc. The only stipula tion made by Nolan was that the lighter chosen to box Nelson should 1m* willing to make 133 pound* nt the ring side.* So iis to be sure of his ground Ornney naked Nolan If Jon Onn* was barred. Nolan replied that Onns could have the match If he could make the weight. Ornney believe* that a mutch between Onup and Nelson would create more Inter est than any other pugilistic event that could be arranged. He thinks a return go between Nelson and Britt would be n strong card, but that this would be n stronger one. "I think Onns has been criticised too harshly for his poor showing with Lewi*," said Oraney. "It wo* an affair nt which there was no referee and no betting. Of one thing yon may be *tire. If Onn* lioxes Nelson In San Francisco the contest will be entirely on the level. At that I’m not saying tbnt Oan* and Nelson will be the card. It may be Nelson and Britt or Nelson nud Kid Herman." Oraney says from "his personal observa tion* a* well ns from searching Inquiries he made while Onn* was In camp here nt different time*, he feel* snip that Onn* can do 133 ring side without affecting hi* fighting Htrcngth. Oraney think* It very likely that boxing will be resumed In San Francisco before September. Ho received a telegram from Chicago today asking him to bid for n match between Nelson and Kid Herman and I* of the opinion that the meeting will attract a large crowd If arranged for July or August. He also consider* n match between Jack O'Hrlen and Sam Berger, h ring event of greut promise, but believe* that the priuclpnl* would want two or three months* to prepare themselves for the struggle.
