DEMONT's DENIAL.
Claims He Has Not Signed With
Lotus for Next Season.

A special from Boston says that Treas
urer Billings of the Boston National League
Club has at last secured the signature of
Pitcher Charles Pittinger to a contract for
1903. 1t is said several American League
clubs were after Pittinger and 1t is report
ed that he had been offered $4,000 year
to sign with the American League with
liberal amount of advance money. After
the game yesterday Pittinger signed his
name to a contract for two seasons at a
salary of s., 500 per season. The effort to
secure Willis has not yet been successful,
but Billings feels confident that it will be
successful, although he knows that Ameri-
can League agents have been constantly at
Willis Of late. With Willis. Pittinger and
Piatt, Billings thinks he will have the nu-
cleus OF q strong showing in the pitchers
position.
Demont said yesterday that the story
that he had signed with Washington was
not true. and that he was ready to talk
business with the local people. Billings is
of the opinion that Demont is trying to
help his own game. as he did last season.

Miss Anthony Will Defend Champion
Title Against Mrs. Alexander.

Miss Bessie Anthony of the Glenview Club
will defend her title against Mrs. w. A. AL
exander Of Exmoor in the final for the
womens western golf championship, as a
result Of yesterdays play in the semi-finals
on the links of the Onwentsia Club, at
Lake Forest, near Chicago.
Miss Anthony in her match against Mrs
C. L. Deering of Midlothian gave the latter
no quarter, and easily won by 6 up and 4
to play
Probably more interest centered in the
play of Mrs. Alexander, who had no easy
task in shaking off Miss Louise Gaylord of
Onwentsia. Miss Gaylord was somewhat
nervous at the start. and this enabled Mrs.
Alexander to obtain lead of up at the
twelfth hole. AS the match progressed,
however, Miss Gaylord, playing in the
pluckiest manner, SO reduced her opponents
lead that in playing the home hole Mrs.
Alexander was only dormie, and as the last
hole was halved the Exmoor representative
