that Jeff was talking of betting $4,000
that he would put 'Fitz' into Sunderland.
Since Carson made his offer the only re-
sponse he or his friends have heard from
the champion is that Carson can easily get
his money covered in any city. Maybe he
can; but the fact that the big boilermaker
has refused to take any part of Garson's
proffered wager has convinced the Hot
Springs man and his friends of what they
have tacitly believed all along-that Jeffries
is not any too certain of his ability to de-
fend the heavyweight championship against
"FitZ."
They are all the more inclined to think
that JEFF is not willing to back himself
for the reason that he can get down an
even bet with Carson, whereas no layer
would offer him better than to 10.
If Jeffres will not cover the bet Carson
says he will wager the $4,000 on Fitzsim-
mons at the prevailing odds on the eve of
the fight His money is ready now.
Carson says that he is offering the bet not
through any desire to obtain notoriety. but
because he does not wish to see "Fftz" go
into the ring unprovided with stake money,
and because he is convinced that Bob" is
the better man of the two.

GOLF AT CHEVY CHASE.
Medal and Bogey Handicap Competi-
tons for Cups.

Chevy Chase golfers gathered on their
links this morning in sufficient number to
dot the entire course with red coats. Two
special matches were arranged In antIcipa-
ton Of this unusual int One was a
hogey handicap competition over eighteen
holes for a cup presented by Mr.. l.. d.
Melne. The other was medal handicap
competition, also over. eighteen holes, for
a cup presented by Mr., Andrew Parker.

matches many individual competitions were
arranged, in which several ladies appeared
varying the red jackets and caps of the
men with white shirt waists and duck
skirts of the women players.

match each player Is entered against an
imaginary competitor, 'fcolonel bogey,' who

teen holes Of the course. Each player COM
pares his score for leach hole with that
accredited to colonel bogey." and counts
the number Of holes which go to his own
credit and that Of colonel bogey' success

A handicap is graded according to the
supposed relative abilities of the men en-
tered. In the other match play is for the
lowest net score. Each players total on
the course being lessened by the number
of strokes granted him as handicap
