AETrY eREEN IN Whit sArIN
Richest Woman Of America Guest Of
Countess Annie Leary

Countess Annie Leary
New York, May 22.-Mrs. Hetty
Green, a Protestant, was the guest of
honor yesterday afternoon in the
home OF Miss Annie Leary, a papal
countess. At the reception which
followed tea in the empowered salon
Mrs. Green was seated on the right
hand of Cardinal Farley whose juris-
diction embraces the most populous
Catholic territory on the American
continent.
The two functions, tea and recep'
ton lasted from four to seven o.
clock. Miss Leary's residence, No
1892 Fifth avenue, had been especi'
ally decorated for the occasion. All
the rare Seyres china, used only on
exceptional occasions, graced the ia
bles. The house was bower OF flor
al beauty. yellow and white daisies
with yellow centers represented the
papal colors Jack" roses framed
the daisies and were festooned on
walls and ceiling. In the salon where
| the cardinal received the guests,
there were special decorations. The
most striking was a gilt basket, four
feet high, that overlooked with thou.
sands of Jacqueminots whose frag-
rance made the air heavy
Mrs. Green walked with Cardinal
Farley from the reception room to the
music parlor, where four artists from
the Metropolitan sang in Italian, and
then by special request of the Coun-
tess Leary gave the Last Rose of
Summer" in English. Mrs. Green who
usually has been pictured as elderly
and sharp visaged in rusty black and
lguiltless of any sort of adornment,
was clad yesterday afternoon in a
white satin modish skirt, with tunic
effect of black satin en- train. and
cloudy white chiffon around the
shoulders.
To the amazement of the guests,
she wore a pendant Of diamonds
each stone the size of pea, and SET
in Roman gold. A rope of precious
stones, amethysts, pearls and rubies
was attached to her lorgnette. HeI
black hat was surmounted by long
waving black plumes
No one familiar with Hetty Greer
in the days when she clipped coupons
in her private Office in the Chemica
bank. or kept in seclusion in her $4I
month fiat in Hoboken, would have
recognized the same woman in the
bediamonded figure who kept up al
animated conversation with the pre-
late. Her whole manner was at var
lance with the generally accepted
view OF her personality. She, smiling
chatted with the guests who came 4
pay their respects to the hostess.
Cardinal Farley did not arrive a
the Leary home until all the guest
were assembled. A velvet carpe
was spread from the curb TO tn
threshold. AS the cardinal entered
the house the announcement of hi
presence was made by servant
Everybody arose, and stood until h.
had passed into the salon, where h.
greeted Hetty Green.
The entertainment was one of tn,
most costly of the many given by IN,
Countess Leary.

zen of Syracuse has ever before re-
ceived is to be accorded Charles d.
Reidpath on his return from the

a space of time to bring fame and
glory to the city of Syracuse and
Syracuse University as Charles D.
Reidpath."i
1t is intended to hold the demon
stration in honor of Reidpath in the
| Syracuse stadium. which has been
the scene of many of the athletes

Reidpath has made arrangements
to proceed to Cleveland as soon as he

will stop off at Syracuse long enough
to be present at the celebration.

1t is true hat Bornbardier Wells.
the acknowledged heavyweight cham
pion of England, scored a knockout
over Tom Kennedy. the former anna
teur champion, and looked upon at
one time as a possible white hope
in the eighth round at the Madison
Square Garden last night. but,
despite this. Jack Johnson need have
no fear for his title. Wells showed
positively hat his blows carry no
force dangerous to a really first-elass
nan and that he is easily tired. In
fact, had any of the other white
hopes been in the ring Wells would
probably have rome down to defeat.
Kennedy was o~utclassed from be-
ginning to end. and there was only
one time. in the fourth round, that
he displayed any fash at all. Ken
needy was hoored in the very first
round from a short jolt, but was up
in a fifty and fighting back hard.
But ne was a mark for the English
mans left mitt. On one occasion
Wells jabbed four times without a
return. and on another occasion he
jabbed seven times. But there was
absolutely no steam behind anything
that Wells carried, and the blow that
put Kennedy low would have teen
hardly strong enough to kill a good
sized Jersey mosquito. some local
fans declared.
whenever Kennedy started in he
had Wells backing. This was the
method of procedure for the New
Yorker. but he seemed to be afraid
of Wells and kept backing away.
When Kennedy landed on the Brit
on's stomach ii hurt. and, though
urged by his handlers, Sammy Kelly
and Danny Sullivan. to play for that
region. he acted bewildered.
From the sixth round on it was
Wells by a long mark. That Ken
nedv did not go down TO defeat be-
fore he did was strange. as he was
taking a terrible lacing. Suddenly
the Fnglishman seemed to have
| gained strength from somewhere and
he was at Kennedy from all sides.
| and all the Manhattan idol could see
was a shower of blows. Suddenly a
right shot on the jaw and down went
Kennedy. AS Billy job. the referee
was tolling off the numbers and had
reached six, the sponge was let ny
from the hands of Kelly and Ken
nedy was lifted and carried TO Ms
| corner.
The knockout came as the cuimlna-
tion of the fastest fight that mas
been seen here since the days OF the
Horton law. The deciding blow seni
Kennedy down. his head hanging
over the lower rope. Once before IN
the round Kennedy had gone down
for a count of nine seconds wher
wells hooked his left to the face
and sent his right across TO the jaw

IMPORTANT GAMES FOR

The twelfth round of games. in the
local Manufacturers League, which
will be decided tomorrow, promises to
furnish the greatest excitement of
the season to date. With a finish
which promises to be the closest in
the history of the shop circuit, the
interest in the battle for the cham
pionship is intense.
The most interesting game tomor-
row will be that between the Clark
Thread Works team and the Mergott

Clarks are at present showing the
way and the Mergotts are tied with
the Hyatts for second place. half a
game behind the leaders. The Hy-

KALAMAZOO, Mich, July 19.-Joe

PAGER over a heavy track yesterday
by easily taking three straight heats
in the Celery City $1,000 purse for
2:1oi PAGERS. There was never n
doubt as to the ability of Joe Patch

forced to go his full limit to win.
The track was made heavy by a

the start of the races nearly two

Manager Chapman, of the Newark
Velodrome,- announces that the pro-
gram of bike races he has arranged
for Sunday at the local track is the
biggest ever put on here-not onlv
the biggest. but also the classiest.
After glancing at the card 1t does
look good. The fact that Emil
Friol, the great French rider, Is to
compete is alone a big attraction.
Much has been heard of this French
marvel, and the ans of Newark are
anxious to see him perform. Friol
is to meet Frank Cavanagh in a
match race and this is one of thu
features of the card.
The event next in line in i'm
portance is a race called the
Scramble Stakes, a five-mile race for
professionals. According to Webster.
the word scramble means to
Chamber with the hands and feet
and it is from Noah's definition of
the word hat this race derives its
name. There is a prize of S. for
every lap of the race except the last
lap, and some ~thirty-five riders are
going to do some clambering with
hands and feet for that money. All
of the professionals will ride in this
race. First money at the finish
$100.
The repechage heat and the semi
finals of the Grand Prize of July will
be run, and there will be a paced
race 1t five miles, in heats, between
Joe Nelson, the rider who has come
back" Jimmy Moran and Ernie Pye
These are the four feature races Of
the program.
The other races on the card are a
one-mile handicap for the profess
SIGNALS, a one-mile novice, two-mile
handicap and a three-mile open fol-
the amateurs.
OF the various events on the card
the Friol-Cavanagh match race prob
ably holds the greatest interest for
the local fans. The Frenchman comes
here with a great reputation. He is
