JEFFRIES LACKS
OLD TIME FORM

From the Philadelphia Press.
Poor Johnson said almost every one
of 5000 persons who saw James ]. JEFF
fries do three minutes and thirteen Sec
onds of actual work at the National
\. {. Wednesday night with at least
five minutes of actual rest from the be-
ginning to the end of the exercise. But
did those people stop to think? Did
they realize that jeff did not show that
he had come back simply because he
was able to skip the rope for forty Sec
onos and box three rounds for total
OF TWO minutes and thirty-three seconds
with three minutes of rest?
There is no doubt that Jeffries looked
as If he could lick three Johnsons and
stlll be ready for more, If one Judge him
by his ability to hit, his quickness and
his footwork. But the physical power
the wind and the recuperative force
were lacking. JEFF admits that and no.
body can deny it.
JeHries Is not a young man. As
nave said before, his years of Inactivity
and pleasure have made him susceptible
to punishment that he once would have
laughed at So that his showing In that
friendly little encounter with Sam Ber-
ger was no criterion of what he could
do If stacked up against that big col
ored championship Johnson.
those of You who saw Jeffries We'd
nesday night noticed that he was p,If-
nng SO after each one of the round Is
that he could not talk II that was the
case IN one-minute rounds, what chance
would be have in three-minute sessions
against man who would really fight
MIN and not play his part of the game
as we'll as did Berger? Samuel was an
actor in that little playlet, his part being

ana as fast as ever. Berger sure did
do his part VIZ
But jeff says he is going to keen at i,

that In three months he will be in shane

LONDON, June 1S.-It. was an after
noon of triumph for the American thor
oughbreds at the Ascot racing meeting.
Fl. P. Whitney's Hillside III won the

at Ascot this season. Both horses turned
into the homestretch head. and head.
They raced in company to the winning
post, where 'Skeets Martin. by a mas
terly finish. landed Hillside III the win
ner by short head. The result was a
great surprise, as Hallaton was a top
heavy favorite at 1 to 4. Hillside's odds
were q to 1. Only two horses ran.

DEMPSEY TAKES
HOLD OF POT0MACs

AS previously mentioned by The Star
alone, the Potomacs have entered into
an engagement with Mr.. Pat A. Demp-
sey, the one-time American champion
sculler. to coach their crews for the re-
mainder Of the season. He reported to
the racing committee Thursday after
noon and at once assumed charge of the
crews and scullers Of the club. The
coming Of Dempsey means that the
members Of the organization are going
out after laurels, their present inclina-
tion being all BEN toward the Peoples
at Philadelphia July 5. A general
who are desirous Of making a try for
the crews to report at once, as every
day devoted to training now is one
gained toward the good one that Dempsey
terial the racing committee will put at
his disposal.
Capt. Joe Richardson was the hap
piest man in the District when Dempsey
reported. and says he will have the
finest bunch of seniors at work Monday
the club has ever seen on the water. as
he has assurance from Wayne Hart,
Harry Ellis, Will Morse, Rob Foster.
Carl and Ed Mueller. Frank Smith,
Johnny Bullough. Dick Spransy. Wal
Joe Freeman. Tom German. Joe DAILY.
Bob Murray and himself, to work for
| seats in the crew. In the ranks of the
juniors he will introduce to Dempsey
the following likely field Of candidates.
Messrs. Evans. Coultry. Pearce. Birney
Keyhoe. Spransy, Wagner, Hoag. Bah
cock, Poles, Cora. Herbert, Bacon, Ken
gler, FitzGibbons. Lucas. Jones. Bean.
Langley, Thelan, Hills, Wilson, Cor
coran. Benson and Claxton. The cox
swains will be Messrs. Slocum, Randolph
and Mckinney.
The club suffers a drawback this sea-
son because the motor boat Gray Bat
that Capt. Butterfield places al the dis
posal of the club is out Of commission
and hence cannot be used. Capt. Rich
ardson Is on the lookout for just such
another craft, as 1t was the only one in
this vicinity that could keep up with
the eights while going at top speed.

the same.
Don't blame Mr.. Patterson. He has
always played first base and left field is
strange to him.
With Stone and Hoffman back in the
Browns lineup a different story may be
told, although McAleer is afraid the lay
off will hurt their batting eyes.
Base ball is something like fishing. You
have to try your luck every day to land
the good ones. Yesterday they were bit
ing.
That Is what one might suspect by read
ing in the New York dailies the accounts
of the Giants great victory OF Wednes-
day.
Ward Miller of the Red outtied is prov
ing one of the seasons sensations. His
best work has been shown against the
Pirates and Cubs, both of whom turned
him down almost without a trial.
Roy Thomas. the Pirate outfielder. who
has been coaching the University of
Pennsylvania base ball team is to
rejon Pittsburg Monday. He's a
pretty good gardener, but he may have
hard time breaking in against the pres
ent trio.
The Chicagos gained on the Pittsburgs
and New Yorks in the National League
yesterday. On account of rain there were
no games in P:ttsburg or Cincinnati, but
the Cubs hooked up with the Brooklyns
and beat them. The st. Louis Cardinals
won from the Bostons.
Hugh Jennings Of the Tigers is planning
q trip to Ireland after the close of the
IL Inc f.D1 60 koly yny,.
some of his best performers If they win
the worlds championship for him. Pretty
safe crack for Hughie If the Cubs happen
to come out on top OF the National
League heap.
Jack Powell of the Browns is surely in
hard luck. In the thirteen games he toiled
this year he has allowed but seventy hits,
game. He has pitched two two-hit con-
tests and two five-hit affairs, yet is cred
tied with only four victories.
Buster Brown of the Philies is kick
ing over the traces. He says If Murray
does not give him chance in the box
he will jump the club. He would like
to be traded back to the St Louis Car
dinals, where he was always rather strong
with the fans. Murray is willing to- re-
turn Brown to the Cards for Joe Dele
hanty, but as Saint Loo gave $1,000 to get
rid Of Brown, there doesn't seem a
chance.
The Highlanders dropped another game
to the Clevelands yesterday, meeting with
their usual one run fat. and the Bostcns
broke even With the White Sox. The re-
suit was that the New Yorks lost third
place and are tied with the Clevelands
for fourth place. The New Yorks have
lost seven of their last nine games. They
did much better than that on the road.
The Detroits, who are finding the going
