®OMAH S?o® EDITED Ar w s Farnsworth Curley Now Threatens to Take Title Battle to Old Mexico By Eek W. Smith. (The Georgian’s fight expert, who has been selected to referee the Johnson - Flynn battle.) EaAST I.AS VEGAS, NM . June 21 -Unless some sort of as surance is given Jack Curley, promoter of the Johnson-Flynn .on test, chat he will not be har assed in the future by statements that Governor McDonald Is goiny 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 to go out Monday night there was a good chance that Governor Mc- Donald would put a stop to the contest as far as New Mexico was concerned, the people of El Paso, who had tried to get the battle be fore and failed because the Las Vegas proposition looked better to Curley, began to renew their bids for the contest. So the Chicago promote: feels that unless he gets better treat ment from the new state as a w hole ‘he will pull out of here and accept the bonus that El Paso i« anxious to put up to get the battle. As El Paso Is only a matter of something tike 200 miles farthei south of here, the shift. Curley fig u es it. would make little or no difference with the crowds from this section of the country that al ready have reserved scats for the battle. Like a County Scat War. The whole trouble appears to be in a coterie of hammer-throwers at Albuque'qua, N. M.. to the south of this place Albuquerque, It seems, has been Insanely jealous nil along of the at tention that Las Vegas is attract ing to itself by the glove contest. Hence there htjs been a steady ef fort made to draw Governor Mc- Donald 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 are interested In the big contest assurances from those close to th governor that he in tends keeping his hands off entire ly. The chief executive hasn't said a 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 milde in their statements about the governor than is the news these same men sent out broadcast ove: the country. This shows that there is plenty of animus behind the whole thing The Albuquerque papers also pick up the Ryan incident with a great deal of avidity and play it up in an attempt to show that Flynn is fooling the public and that the 550-HORSEPOWER BOAT I READY FOR BIG RACES* ' HICAGO, Junv2l. ■ The pow erful on - gln'p which were built in Detroit for ■he giant hydroplane.

There is great rivalry, it is said, bet w een the two towns, and the 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 see 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 he should do so now and not put them and the papers to futile expense in remaining longer on the field. Cur ie's return will be awaited before this is attempted. Santa Fe is within easy reach of the public. With the departure of Ryan ami Morrow from the Flynn r amp and the 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 tile Flynn camp and over at Old Town, w here Johnson is wor king. George Deßray is suffering from had feet. Cutler has a tin ear that is mighty sore. Respress is beaten up about the body, and everybody else has a weary appearance all except Wat son Burns, the chief of the camp, who Is ever on the job and always keeps the others gingered up and on their toes. Mrs. .lack Johnson Is on her way home. She suddenly quit the fight camp and left the big colored man in the hands of his helpers. It was stated at the eamp that Mrs. Johnson is going home for the purpose of straightening out the champion's affairs, a.-> they may re late to the ease the United States government is said to he pushing against him. This involves a charge of smuggling into the coun try a diamond necklace of ’nigh value. There was a report around that the champ had had trouble with his wife and that she had deserted him. but the champion only laugh ed at this report and said that lie 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 be much missed. It is said she was badly affected by the high altitude here and would remain no longer. Mrs. Johnson is a white woman. (SIX NEW REGULARS FOR TIGER TEAM NEXT YEAR I'ETRUIT, June 21. Tito Detroit ball club is the shuttered remains of a ehiunpionship machine. It has reached its last stage of deterioration. Detroit Tigers have gone the way that all championship clubs go. Il Is a repetition of the Boston team, the New York team, the old Philadelphia team ami the Chicago Cubs of more re< ent year-. At present the Detroit team is play ing ta'or ball There is no aggressive ness, little effort and no team work. One of the chief troubles with tilt Detroit hall club Is that some members have, too many dollar* and others too many debts. It would not be surprising to see six now regulars on the Detroit club next year. They will be young men who are starting at the bottom and who must be able to deliver the goods to keep their jobs; young men who can not afford to dissipate and who will be able to go to bed before mid night. Tin Washington tenm wis recon strutted by adding young and will ing workers. And there is no team that reminds one tnpre of Detroit's Ti gers today than the Washington team of the three or four years previous.

A " Ov OESSfIU TO FACE ALLEN IN OWE WITH LOOKOUTS CHATTANOOGA, TENN.. June 21. With the count standing one and one, the Crackers will get together this aft ernoon in a contest that should be "some caloric.” to say it gently . It is likely that Billy Smith's men will be opposed by Frank Dessau today. Two ptchers, Russell and Brady, were used up by the Crackers yesterday, and that brings Dessau around as the logi cal candidate. It is Allen's turn to pitch for Chattanooga. Two games will be played tomorrow, and it is not unlikely that the season's record for a will he 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 worked he was wild. The sec ond time he was a wonder. Yester day he was neither of those things, but just a plain pitcher whose curves didn't fool the opposition much. Manager Hemphill had been all fussed up over this game for days. ' He was impatient to find if Russell's grand showing against Nashville was merely a fluke or w hether “Lefty” really meant it. And the former Hope of Hagers town didn't waste any time in showing him. He let the hated Lookouts make five runs in the first Inning and three in the third. When in the fifth inning it began to appear that th s Crackers might come to life and win after all. Hemphill pulled Russell out and st ick Brady in. 'I he former Brave pitched pretty fair ball throughout the remainder of the contest. 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 IA I‘crux 11. Whiting. IX Hl Somlieih golf >hamplmi ■'hip has been played and won, but the golf season of Dix lat ks a big lot of being over. Two of tlie most important invi tation tournaments. of the season ate still to be played. They ate those given by the Montgomery Country club and the Atlanta Ath letic club. The former is set for Jul.t 4 to fi and the latter for July Ik 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 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 ef 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 'an 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. a MERICAN 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. Yet 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. Last 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 in the 1910 event, Alex w ho would always prefer to scare a man to death rather than to beat him to death, said to McDermott: 4 "Laddie you'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 ,' ou try to scare me I'll knock your brains out with a nibbeck." McDermott was the first Amer 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. Simpson, of 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 fpr his fourth. In the play-off McDermott was easily. McDermott was born in Philadel phia. is 22 years old. and has play- ,( cd golf twelve years, six as a cad dy and six as a professional. KITTY LEAGUE TEAMS TRYING TO STRENGTHEN HOPKINSVILLE, KY . June 21. Be fore the third week of the playing season had been completed, several of the. Kitty 'eague teams were anxiously hunting for playrs to strengthen their line-up Nearl.v all of the teams have found it necessary to strengthen weak places, but the big surprises In the poor showing made lias 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 far to do this, and the management already announces that the.'’ are after new men At Paducah. John Nairn, who has a ref utation for winning pennants In this league, announced confidently that he would repeat this year, but his team has so fat- 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. Hen derson has shown more Improvement than any team and is now coming strong and holding down third, place in the standing. Umpire Dan Mareks lias been given his release by President Bassett, and John R. Hayes, of Hampton. Va., is handling the indicator in his stead. Dowell, outfielder and heavy hitter. haS been secured from the Frankfort team, in the Bluegra«e league, by Henderson. At Cairo last week. Pitcher Yon. of . Hopkinsville, and Outfielder Kinser, of • Cairo, quarreled. \ind Yon struck Kinser I The pitcher was arrested and fined. In the four games played between Evansville and Clarksville at Evansville last week, a near-record for heavy hit ting was made, an even hundred swats being recorder, many of them for extra bases.
