hit in Havana, according to the news.
rapers Of the Cuban capital
The following is from the Havana
Daily Post of May 4:
The spectacle of the newspapers Of
the United States attempting to JUS
tify Jack CurIey in the latter's ac-
items in cuba is being presented with
such frequency that il appears time
for the press of Cuba to place Curley
and his associates in the light they
deserve II is hoped that by so doing
the newspapers in the United States
will at hast awaken to the fact that
in Cuba Curley and his alleged mill.
Cnaire hacker, FraZee, are thoroughly
disCredited, and il is doubtful il they
ever set foot on the island of Cuba
again, either as tourists or promoters.
The last straw of the CuTley i'm
pudenCe appears in the New York Sun
Of Sunday. April p. Curley says:
The president called me into his
Cffice and said: 'Curley, ! won't stand
for shaking down by any fellows. c.ti.

This statement by Curley. on the
face of it, is just another proof Of the
fact that he apparently has the New
York press thoroughly fooled, espeei-
ally the boxing writer Of the Sun. In
the first place. Col. Jose Estrampes,
who took Curley to the palace, de-
cIares Curley did not see President
Menocal at all. Instead Curley was
received by Secretary Hevia, who po-
litely informed him that while he.
Hevia, was sure no public officials
would even suggest remuneration, and
if any did. to let him know about it,
and that he would stop the practise.
This was the full extent of Curley's
visit to the president. - =-. s~
One Of the boldest of Curley's &C
tions in Cuba was the sending out of
a story to the effect that President

Curley now is displaying a gold
watch in New York which was pre-
scented to him by the Citizens and
American Residents of Havana" The
truth about this watch is that it was
paid for by Capt. Walter F. Smith OF

burse him for the expenditure. Not
single dollar was raised, both Cubans
and Americans scouting at the idea
of giving Curley a memento of his
visit here. The watches which were
given to Curley, Willard and Johnson

his own money to the last
dollar
Before Willard would leave Juarez

GOLF GOSSIP

TOUR OF England's leading profes-
sional golfers sail on May -. for
this country and British golfhg
authorities predict that one Of the
quartet will win chief honors in the
United States National Open. Ray,
Vardon, Duncan and Mayo form a
formidable entry and the American
players will have To be at their best al
Baltusrol a month hence in order TO
keep the national championship in
this country. An English expert writ
ing OF the invasion states:
THE British quartet this time have
the very best prospects, and it is at
lease likely that the humiliating de-
feat of Brookline win be avenged. The
American climate is not likely to be
at it's worst from the British point OF
view in June. Then Vardon and Ray,
who are both playing we'll, though
the circumstances of the times prevent
much attention being given to their
forms and doings. acclimatise quickly
in America, and have had the ines
Unable advantage of experience in
the championships there. They will
tackle the ordeal of Bal:usrol in diff
ferent frame of MIND from that in
which they engaged upon their task
at Brookline. and will, moreover, not
run any risk of being overplayed be-
forehand, as they will have just three
weeks on the other side to lick their
game into proper American shape. AS
to Duncan, whose chances in tn 8 eX.
petition / regard as being as bright
as they possibly could be, there is this
to be said-that though he has not
taken part in the American champion
ship he was in the country on a short
tour four years ago, and on that oeca-
sion he played some wonderful golf
on various American courses
Charles Mayo, the Burhill profess
SIGNAL. who has be.n in partnership
with Duncan on many memorable &C.
casions, has not been in America be-
fore, and II Is difficult to estimate his
prospects. He is sound golfer, ard
very steady, and is not so slow as he
used to be. might add that there
is a possibility of certain British
amateur-one who has not won the
championship either here or in Ameri-
ca, be II said-making the trip as well
as the professionals, and If he does so
he will need to be taken into most Sc
rious consideration, for do not think
that any amateur in this country is
playing better golf at the present time,
and hardly a professional either for
that matter" F.. .

The fact that the officers were to
play baseball Sunday afternoon, drew
a record crowd to the Cayalry-ArtiL
lery ball diamond-a crowd which
probably did not come to see baseball,
but which anticipated plenty of am
usement, and were far from being dis
appointed. There were clever plays
by some clever players, and plays
that were far from clever by players
whose cleyerness became past history
some years ago, but on the whole II
was a much better game than anyone
had anticipated. so let's saVe another.
When "Wop" Sadtter was ann0unc-
ed as pitcher for the doughboys, ODDS
on the 1st Infantry began to soar, but
Winton, who pitched Cor the wagon
officers, and who has been out of
the game a number OF years, seemed
to remember enough OF his oljtime
sIants to keep his opponents guessing
during the last tive innings. IN the
first two innings the CaEtner Officers
landed on Winton's delivery for seven
hits, which, coupled with few errors,
netted them six runs. It began 10 look
like a walkaway in spite of the three
runs scored by the artillery in the
first frame, but when Winton settled
down in real earnest. hits were few
and far between, and these who did
connect with the bail found it diff.
cult to drive it through the artilIery's
ironclad infield. The douEhboys' big
lead was finally overcome and they
were nosed cut by single EUn.
The great advantage of the field
artillery team was that the players
were all uniformed &fike, which gave
them a professional air that was baff-
ling to their guests from Cashier. The
latter had borrowed their uniforms
from ] Company and were a Totely
crew, to all appearances more prop
erly clad for a masquerade ball than
for baseball game.

The baseball teams in the Inter
scholastic League started their second
and last round yesterday afternoon.
Mills and Punahou playing their game
at Moiliili field, while Kan and st.
Louis met al the athletic park. 49,
Mills showed their gameness in the
series by defeating Punahou to the
tune of SO after a hard-fought game.
Gay, who pitched Saturday for Puma,
hou against st. Louis, was in the box
again, and held out well until the last
two innings. Young Brown, a recruit
on the college nine, sent the ball out
of the lot in the third inning for a
home run. This is stills first victory
this season, and puts Punahou out OF
the running for the championship.
Lots of Roofing. u.
The game between Kamehameha
and st. Louis at athletic park proved
exciting, as both teams played hard
throughout and both sides had a
large force of rooters on hand. The
cadets sang their fayorite school songs
at intervals, and were we'll applauded
by their opponents.
Kamehameha was determined to
make up for their defeat by the same
team few weeks ago and by hard
hitting during the last few innings
managed to accomplish their ambition.
The Saints scored first in the sec
ond frame. when three men crossed
the pan through errors and foolish
playing of both the shortstop and
third baseman. Markham, who was
pitching for ST. Louis, kept the Kan
batters guessing up to the sixth, when
Cockett scored the first run on clean
hit to center by Bertelmann. In the
seventh the Rams came back and
smashed the ball to all corners of the
lot, scoring three runs. Markham was
showing signs of weakening and
should have been taken out of the box.
When the Saints came in for their
last half of the eighth the score stood
4-3 against them and as the best bat
tiers were up the ST. Louis rooters
went wild. Haneberg was first up
and got out on pop fly. Henry Nye,
"Ty Cobb of the Interscholastic
League, was next man to the plate.
Up to this time Werner, who was
pitching alright ball for the Rams.
had sent Nye to the bench three times
by the strike-out route and he was de-
termined to repeat. But this time
"Ty'' knew that his team was in the
rear and needed run at least to tie,
so he picked out a nice one and sent
it out of the lot for home run. Wer-
ner stood and smiled, being well sat
isfied that he had struck him out
three times before that. This was tine
only run scored. At the beginning OF
the ninth the cadets started the bal!
rolling with Cerrea sending the bali
to short for safe hit. Makanani, who
had been playing a ragged game at
short, was up next and landed on one
of Markham's SLOW balls for home
run, sending in Correa ahead of him.
At this stage Baptiste replaced Mark
ham, Werner hit safe over short and
stole second. Hila was next to bat.
Although striking out three times pre-
viously, he connected with the bail
this time and sent it along the first
base line, Werner scoring on the hi.
The Rams failed to score any more
runs and when the Saints came up
for their last half of the ninth sub
stitutes were sent to bat and they

really outbOxed Jack: in fact, there
were several rounds in which Willard
held his own at boxing or had the
better in anges-something that
not only surprised Johnson but the
fans as well. Jess never missed a
chance to send his long left to tie
face, even If only. to tilt Jacks head
back, and this. with the body blows,
had much to do with wearing down
the colored man.
Jess also blocked many of Johnson 8
leads and did not receive the force of
the blows as many supposed. Willard
was not marked up, either, as many
reports stated He had bruise on his
left cheek and his right ear was cut
a bit, but outsidefof that and a slight
scratch on his right cheek he bore lit
tie evidence of the encounter
If a decision had been given at the
end of the goth round it would have
been a good draw, although many as
serted that Johnson would have re-
eeived the decision. On the way home
from Havana | asked Referee Welch
what his verdict would have been at
the end of the goth sound and he said
that, while Johnson might have had a
shade on points, it was not enough to
warrant a decision and he would have
called it draw. In summing up the
contest gave rounds 8, 6, I, 10, -,

of.
Plans Championship Tourney.
Il If his plans do not miscarry, Dom
mick j. Tortorich. the New Orleans

championship tournaments ever held
in the United States. The dates of
the tourney have not been decided
upon, but it will in all probability be
during the race meet and Mardi Gras
in the Crescent City next winter Tor
torich plans to stage three champion
ship eyents-lightweight middle
weight and avyweight-which would
bring trio OF stars into one meet
ing-namely, Jess willard, Mike Glib
bons and Freddy Welsh.
The plan is to have Willard meet
the best heavyweight challenger at the
time, which may be AL Reich or Jim
Coffey. Mike Gibbons and Jimmy
Clabby are booked for the title affair
in the middleweight class, providing,
of course, each one holds to the top
rung of the ladder. as at present. In
the lightweight class Freddy Welsh
will be picked to meet either Willie
Richie or a 135-pounder selected by
the sport writer's of the country: Pro

not less than $500 each
