gk®m EDITED Xr 9 FARNS'WOFTH . Curley Now Threatens to Take Title Battle to Old Mexico By Ed. W. Smith. JThe Georgian's fight expert, who has been selected to referee the Johnson • Flynn battle.) East las vidgas, n m . June 21—Unless some sort of as surance is given Jack Curley, promoter of the Johnson-Flynn contest, that he will not be har assed In the future by statements that Governor Mcbonald is gnitiß to stop the big encounter of July 4 he is apt to pull up stakes and take_ the fighters to El Paso and stage the contest in the bull ring at Juarez, across the Mexican line. As soon as the stories began tn go <mt Monday night there was a good rhance that Governor' Mc- Donald would pul a stop to the contest as far as New Mexico was concerned, the people of El Paso, who had tiled Io get the battle be fore and failed because the Las Vegas proposition looked lietter tn Curley, began to renew their bids fOt the contest So the Chicago promoter feela that unless he gets better treat ment from the new state as a whole 'he will pull out of here and accept the bonus that El Paso is anxious to put up to get the battle. As El Paso Is only a matter of something like 200 miles farther south of here, the shift. Curley flg utes It, would make little or no difference with the crowds from this section of the country that al ready have reserved seals for the battle. Like a County Seat War. Tltr whole trouble appears to be In a coterie of hatnmer-t+irowers at Albuquerque, N. M . to the south of this place Albuquerque. It seems, lias been insanely jealouk all along of the at tention that Las Vegas is attract ■ Ing to itself by the glove contest. Hence there has been a stead? ef fort made to draw Governor Me ftonald Into a controversy, the ulti mate aim being to have him de clare himself against the big bat tle This the governor has declined to do so far; In fact, the local peo ple who air Interested in the big contest have assurances from those close to the governor that lie in tends keeping his hands off entire ly. The chief executive hasn't said * word one way or another, yet Albuquerque sends out word to the public at large that the governor intends to stop the contest. Albuquerque papers of yesterday containing the news are much milder iti their statements about the governor than is the news these same men sent out broadcast over the country. This shows that there is plenty of animus behind the whole thing. The Albuquerque paper’ also nit k up the Ryan incident with a •great deal of avidity and play It up in an attempt to show that Flynn fs fooling the public and that the 550-HORSEPOWER BOAT READY FOR BIG RACES • Hl' \G<’ June 21.

It is one of the ligl . st eraft ever built. New methods recently developed have aided the builders to make a boat as strong a the heaviest of old-time craft, and yet one that is as light as any - thing that ever floated. The strain to which 24 o*Under engines, develop ing sf>o horsepower will put the new boat would wreck anything constructed under old methods.

R. I. June 21. Brown easily defeated Vale, s to 2. hete yesterday in the dosing game of • the season for both team* big battle won't be worth going far tn see. Jack Curley boarded a train for Albuquerque yesterday and went to see the publishers of these pa pers to find out whether they in tend to keep up their unfalc war fa re. Unless he can get assurances from them that they will be fair to the big contest he will return to Las Vegas, explain the whole sit uation to the people here who are backing him in thy enterprise and then probably announce Ills plan for transferring the battle to Mex ico. Wait For Curley's Return, There is groat rivalry, It Is said, between the tyvo towns, and rhe re sult of Curley's visit is awaited with a great deal of interest. In the meantime several of the newspaper men now on the ground are figuring on going to Santa Fe to sec Governor McDonald in per son and try to get a statement from him. They will argue with him that if he intends to stop the contest lie should do so now and not put them . and the papers to futile expense in remaining longer on the field. Cur ley’s return will he awaited bcfoi'' this is attempted. Santa I’e is within easy reach of the public. Willi the deparlure of Ryan and Morrow from the Flynn camp and tlic bunging up of most of John son’s helpers, both camps present a sadly depleted appearance. Ray Marshall and Al Williams are the only two real assistants left In the Flynn camp and over at Old Town, where Johnson is working. George Deßray Is suffering from bad feet. Cutler has a fin car that Is mighty sore. Respress Js beaten up about the body, and everybody else has a weary appearance—al! except Wat son Burns, the chief of the camp, who is ever on the Job and always keeps Hie others gingered up and on thfir toes. Mis. Jack Johnson is on her way home. She suddenly quit the fight camp and loft the big colored man in the hands of his helpers. It was stated at the camp that Mrs. Johnson is going home for the purpose of straightening out the champion’s affairs, as they may re late to the case the United States government is said to be pushing against him. This involves a. charge of smuggling Into the. coun try a diamond necklace of high value. There was a report around that the champ had had trouble with his wife and that she had deserter! * him, but the champson only laugh ed at this report and said that he expected his wife would return within a week or two immediately after some business matters had been fixed up as they should be. Mrs. Johnson has had entire charge of the champion's food out at the camp and will bo much missed.' It is said she was badly affected by Hie high altitude hero and would remain no linger. Mrs Johnson is a white woman SIX NEW REGULARS FOR TIGER TEAM NEXT YEAR DETROIT, June 21 The Detroit ball club Is the shattered remains of a championship machine It has reached its last stage of deterioration. Detroit Tigers have gone the way that rill championship clubs go. It Is a repetition of the Boston team, the New York team, the old Philadelphia team and the Chicago Cubs of more recent years At present the Detroit team is play ing poor ball There is no aggressive ness lltth effort and no team work. One of the chief troubles with th' Detroit ball club Is that some members have to<> many dollars and others too manv debts. It would not be surprising to see six new regulars on the Detroit club next year. Thej will bo young men. who are starting at the bottom and who must lie able to deliver the goods to keep their jobs; young men who can not afford to dissipate and who will be abb' to go to bed before mid night.'' 'file 'Washington team was* recon structed bi adding young and will ing workers. And there is tio team that reminds one more of Detroit's Ti gers today than the Washington team of the three or four years previous. PLAYER IN CLASS GAME RECEIVES BAD INJURY NEW HAVEN. CONN..

With the count standing one and one, the Crackers will get together this aft ernoon in a contest that should be "some calorie," to say it gently. It is likely that Billy Smith's men will be opposed by Frank Dessau today. Two ptehers, Russell anrL Brady, were used up by the Crackers yesterday, and that brings Dessau around as the logi cal candidate. It is Alien's turn to pitch for Chattanooga. Two games will be played tomorrow, and it is not unlikely that the season’s record for a crowd will be broken by that contest. The ball was cruelly mauled in yes terday’s contest that the Lookouts won, 10 to 7. , The game was the. much vaunted “third test" of Lefty Russell. The first time he was wild. The sec ond time ho was a wonder. Yester day he was neither or those things, but dust a plain pitcher whose curves didn't fool the opposition much. Manager Hemphill had been all fussed up oyer this game for days. He was impatient to find if Russell’s grand show ing against’ Nashville was merely a fluke or whether "Lefty” really meant it. And the former Hope of Hagers town didn’t waste any time tn showing him. He let the hated Lookouts make five runs in the first Inning and three in the third. When In the fifth inning ft began to appear that ths Crackers might come to life and win after all, Hemphill pulled Russell out and st ick Brady in. The folTner Brave pitched pretty fair ball throughout the remainder of the contests. But the Crackers found it im possible to overcome the Lookouts' ear ly lead.

Muse Clothing Company Two Southern Golf Events Set For July; One on Local Course By Percy H. Whiting. THE Southern golf champion ship has been played and won, but the golf season of Dixie lacks a big lot o's being over. Two of the most Important invi tation tournaments of the season are still to be played. They are those given by the Montgomery Country club and the Atlanta Ath letic club. The former is set for July 4 to 6 and the latter for July 18 to 20. Montgomery’s tournament will be its third. The first attempt in the Alabama capital was almost a total fizzle. There were hardly enough entries to make a ball handicap Interesting. The second one. held last summer, was a vast - ly better affair and while the en try was not large It was tremen - dously classy. This year Mont gomery ought to have a big tour nament. As the Southern cham pionship is to be played over the Montgomery course next season many golfers will want to play in this coming tournament, in an es- \ fort to get the hang of the circuit and the lay of the land * • • ATLANTA’S invitation tourna ment. ought to be ‘‘the class of ’em all.” The local club is the largest in the South. Its course is the best. Atlanta's hotels top any thing in Dixie. The summer cli mate is the best. And as for the "nineteenth hole.” without which no tournament can be a go. Atlanta’s is second to none. The local course in in bully good condition now and will be polished to the limit for the coming event. • *. * American, golfers “pulled" in vain for J. J. McDermott, the American professional who is play ing in the British “open,” the ban ner event of the professional world. In the first round, played yester day. McDermott took 91 strokes and virtually lost out. Atlanta golfers well remember McDermott. He played here in the open event in the fall of 1910. And. truly, he’s a queer specimen. He looked then like some school boy who had strayed into the wrong lot. He is small, slight, smooth faced and looks as inoffensive as a well-mannered cow. Tel McDermott is considerably more of a golfer than he looks. Two years ago. then an unknown child in the golfing world, he tied with Alex Smith and MacDonald Smith in the open championship of America. List year he won the open. McDermott may not have the size nor the looks of a champion, but he has the nerve. It is re lated that when the two Smiths and McDermott were ready to play off the tie tn the 191(1 event, Alex who would always prefer to scjir# a man to death rather than to beat him to death, said to McDennottt "Laddie y.ou're a nice little player, but you've no chance with .me." Whereupon McDermott, who loks like a kid caddy along side of the bulky Alex, retorted “Why you big if you try to scare me I’ll knock your brains out with a nibbeck." McDermott was the first Ariier ican born golfer who ever won an open event in America. In last year’s event he tied with M. J. Brady, of Wollaston, and G. O. Simpsonfof Wheaton, and won the play-off. The first round the first day of the tournament McDer mott started off with an 82, which was wretched. Then he revived, took a 72 for the second 18, a 75 for his third and a '79 for' his fourth. In the play-off McDermott was easily. McDermott was born in Philadel phia, is 22 years old. and has play ed golf twelve years, six as a cad dy and six as a professional. KITTY LEAGUE TEAMS TRYING TO STRENGTHEN HOPKINSVILLE, KT.. June 31—Be fore the third week of the playing season had been completed, several of the Kitty league teams were anxiously hunting for nlayrs to strengthen their line-up Nearly all of the teams have found it necessary to strengthen weak places, bui the big surprises In the poor showing made has been In Evansville and Paducah The Evansville bunch were touted as won ders. and coming from the largest town in the circuit, it was suposed they would take the lead at the very start and hold it. But they have failed dismally so f?r to do this, and the management already announces that they are after new men At Paducah. John Nairn, who has a rep utation for winning pennants In this league, announced confidently that he ■would repeat this year, but his team has so far shown up one of the weakest, and he. too, is scouring .the woods for new players. Cairo Is also weak, but promises to come. Clarksville has shown decidedly the best class so far, with Hopkinsville holding second place lien derson lias shown more improvement titan any team and is now coming strong and holding down third place in the standing. Umpire Dan Mareks has been given ills release by President Bassett, and John R. Hayes, of Hampton. Va.. is handling the indicator in his stead. Dowell, outfielder and heavy hitler, han been secured from the Frankfort team, in the Bluegrass league, by Henderson At Cairo last week. Pitcher Yon, of Hopkinsville, and Outfielder Kinser, of f'airo. quarreled, and Ton struck Kinser. The pitcher was arrested and fined. In . the four games played between Evansville and Clarksville at EvaJisville last week, a near-record for heavy hit ting was made, an even hundred swats being recorder, many of them for extra bases.
