GAMBLING ON
ENGLISH DERBY
PRESENT SEASONS EVENT SAID
TO HAVE ATTRACTED MORE
MONEY THAN MANY OF THE
PREVIOUS ONES
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London. June 13.-C4ambLng on the
Derby recently won by an American
horse, is believed to have attracted
more money this year than ever. The
first prize of the Calcutta sweep
stake lottery, which is the most popu-
lar method of rtsking ones money
amounted this year 10 about $500 600
Ten years ago the investments in this
lottery warranted prize Of only 500,
600. The prize as 1t now stands is
probably the largest offered by any re-
liable form Of lottery in existence.
The Calcutta Turf Club started this
lottery as a mere club offer many
years ago, but when the sale Of tickets
was thrown open TO all appli cants the
year saw them coming from all parts
Of Europe all the British colonies, and
the Orient
The London stock exchange had a
sweep stake this year which offered a
first prize of S12.500. This also was
originally a friendly affair among
members but II has become almost a
public business. Members subscribe
for patches OF tickets and sell them
to outsiders at premium. At par
value Of IS the tickets brought five
s1xteenths premium this year.
Nearly all the London clubs have
their Derby lotteries. One pound $50
IS the favorite price for z chance, but
in some wealthy clubs there are five
pound tickets as we'll while in the less
opUIent club houses chances may be
taken for one dollar Many OF the
gamblers are men who know nothing
about racing and in some clubs prac-

CARPENTER WOULD
! FIGHT JACK JOHNSON
French Boxer Confident He Will
Defeat Gunboat Smith at
London
Special to The Telegraph

Manito, France, July 15.-"I hope
to beat Gunboat Smith. L believe
that 1 will do it. My intention is to
meet Jack Johnson afterwards for
the title so envied-champion of the
world in all it's categories."
This statement was made here yes
terday by George Carpenter, white
middleweight and heavyweight cham
pion of Europe, as he packed pre-
paratory to going to London, where
he will fight Smith at the Olympia
on Thursday night for the white
heavyweight title.
The French boxer has been getting
in condition in his quiet, sleepy little
village, living in an old-fashioned
farmhouse and amidst surroundings
so far removed from the excitement
and gaiety of Paris that there can
be no comparison.
In sharp contrast with the solitude
and peaceful atmosphere of Carpen-
tiers camp is the blare and noise and
confusion of sightseers and eXhibi-
tions at Jack Johnson's. Johnson
loves plenty of excitement and the
limelight, and he usually pitches his
camp at some spot as much like
Coney Island as possible.
HAS it ever struck you how odd it
is to know that you are going to box a
Carpenter. "I have never seen Smith
and he has never seen me and we
shall not meet until tomorrow night
1 know Smith is a clever boxer and a
strong hitter but 1 believe he will not
be able to touch me, because he is
less quick than / am. He has the
advantage of me in weight and reach,
but l am relying on science to over
come this.
II am relying also to a great extent
upon instinct. Instinct is always
strong in a good fighting man. 1t is
marked in Jack Johnson, and be-
lieve that 1 have enough of it to help
me.
From what 1 have been told I do
not believe that Smith is an in-fighter,
and I have always felt most at ease
before a fighter who keeps his oppo-
nent at arms length. l am going to
London to give the English people the
best that is in me, and l know that
France will never be ashamed of my
efforts"

RAIN CAUSES TENNIS
TOURNAMENT DELAY
But Time VIII Be Spent in Per-
fecting Condition Of the
Courts

While the weeks rains are likely to
result in postponing the city tennis
tournament scheduled to start to-mor-
row on the Reservoir Park courts,
until next week, the delay will give an
opportunity to put the courts into per-
feet condition. They are at present a
bit worn, and in some places are
badly in need of scraping.
1t is altogether probable that the
matches will be postponed, it was
learned this afternoon. 1t would be
possible, of course, If no more rain
falls, to start play, but it is believed
that the postponement of the tourna-
ment will be very much more satisfac-
tory to the players. Play will probably
start next Monday.
The committee in charge of the
tournament will meet this evening and
decide when to begin the matches. Ar
rangements for the award of prizes
will also be completed. Silver loving
cups will he awarded winners in mems

WINNING BALL PUTS
UP GATE RECEIPTS
Gossip That Local Stock viii Pay
Dividends May Have Some
Foundation

With Harrisburg playing top-notch
ball and heading the league, the fans
are giving the team such loyal sup
port that 1t begins to look as If gossip
among Tri-State financiers that Har-
risburg stock would pay dividends
this year has some foundation.
The attendance at the Island has
been large during the past few weeks.
On July every seat was taken and
the field was crowded with spectators.
1t used to be a pretty true saying that
the public will only back a winning
team. Connie Mack. the Athletics
astute manager, evidently thought so
when the White Elephants first took
the field and carried off the patronage
from the Phillies. And George Cockill
is doing his best to put a winning ar
ttcle over and is succeeding. All of
which helps the gate receipts ma
terially.
According to baseball financiers,
there isn't anything like a winning
streak to draw the crowds. And the
locals have been reaping the benefit
of their latest exhibition of pulling
down straights. A dozen in a row looks
good to the fan and he wants to go
out to see the next victory. If this
keeps up the gossip will surely have
good foundation and the local stock
holders will be financial gamers on
their venture.
