posed to be winter sport. there were
more ring contests held this national
holiday than in previous years. The
big holiday seems to be an incentive
tests. the bigger the better. and this
Fourth of July was no exception to
the rule. Many battles were held in
various parts of the country and some
permitted.
At Denver n fifteen-round battle was
staged between Freddy Welsh. the
lightweight champion Of the world. and
was very disappointing. owing % the
fact that Wolgast was disqualified on
"a charge of fouling Welsh in the
eleventh round. Welsh's seconds also
claimed a foul in the third round. u:
the attending physician stated he could
not discover any evidence Of 1t at the
time. Wolgast was wonderful little
fighter and no doubt he can still go a
been better pleased had the match been
made between Welsh and a man like
Charlie White. Benny Leonard or
Richie Mitchell. where 1t would have
been real championship contest.
Jack Dillon. the light heavyweight
champion, stacked up against the
veteran Jim Flynn in fifteen-round
battle at Dewey. Okla, but 1t went
only four rounds as Dillon put the
K. o. over on the Pueblo fireman in
good fashion and there was nothing
left for Jim to do but take the count
Of ten. 1t only places Dillon in safer
position with his title than ever before
Charlie White the Chicago con-
tender tor the lightweight crown. gave
away about ten or twelve pounds In
weight to Johnny Griffith. the Ohio

Ohio. There were different claims as
to the winner. although most of them
seemed to favor Griffith with a shade
over the Chicago boy. Johnny out
boxed White, but in the real fighting
that was done the Chicago boy had the
better Of 1t. However. being handi-
capped in weight told heavily against
white and it is almost safe to say
that Griffith does not belong in the
lightweight class any more.
Johnny Dundee, another contender
for Welsh's crown, put up a wonder
mer at East Chicago, Ind. gaining the
point decision In ten rounds. Hammer
was well thought of by his Chicago
friends owing to the splendid show
ing he made against Welsh in Milwau-
kee some time ago. but he found
In a longer battle Hammer would no
doubt do better, but in ten rounds the
Italian had 1t on him.
Joe Mandot. the New Orleans light
weight. had no difficulty in outpointing
Jimmy Minor in an eight-round contest
at Memphis. Tenn. Mandot sho~ed all
his old-time cleverness and appeared
to be in excellent condition.
Cal Delaney. the Cleveland feather
weight, who has now developed into
full-hedged lightweight. defeated
Phil Brock In twelve rounds at San
dusky. Ohio. Delaney was groomed at
one time for a battle with Johnny
Kilbane. but 1t appears he has out
grown that class and now is coming
along very nicely as lightweight.
Jimmy Duffy. the Buffalo light
weight. upheld his reputation by de-
feating Bryan Downey in twelve
round contest at Columbus, Ohio.

tests and altogether they were held

A good foursome was played on the
Columbia Country Club course last
Monday Professional Mcleod had re-
turned from Minneapolis Sunday, and
of course, was going well. Mcleod and
G. H. Chasmar opposed Jack Burgess
i of Chevy Chase. Charles Orme and Will
liam Hoover of Columbia. Mcleod ana
Chasmar finished one up on their OPP
ponents. Burgess was forced to play
practically the best ball Of the other
pair his partners were not playing
well. Some pyrotechnics were dis
tributed throughout the match. Bur
CESS got a good drive on the seventh
hole, but no one was expecting what
happened after. He played a high
pitch and the ball ran into the hole.
He was out in thirty-five, but spoiled
his chance for a good medal score on
the seventeenth, where he was advised
that midiron would place him in the
best position for the second shot. He
hooked his iron shot into the creek
and took a six on the hole, and the
other team won the hole with a three,
squaring the match. The last was won
by Mcleod, who sank good putt for
a four. while Burgess. who is tine
putter. missed his four. Burgess had
u seventy-six match, when. with ms
bad finish is fine golf. Mcleod pick
ed up his ball on the second hole or
he would have had q good medal score.
Shelter houses have been built at the
eight and fourteenth tees OF the Co
lumbia course for protection OF mem

stalled.
Mcleod played with Chick Evans on
the last round of the national open
championship at Minikhada. He says
that on account of the long grass i'm
| mediately in front of the putting
green's an undue premium was placed
upon the players game who happened
to be laying their short run-up shots
close to the pin. and as Evans was
putting remarkably we'll and playing
a brilliant short game 1t is not sur
prising he won. The course at Mini
khada is bunkered in such way that
a long driver cannot let himself out at
all times and frequently is obliged to
play short of some hazards where he
permits a shorter player to get even

ShowaIter's Victory Over
Whitaker Puts Him In Tine
for Chess HonorS.
CONTEST MAY BE STAGED
IN BUFFALO, GAMES
New York Association Plans TO
Stage It as Feature Of Its
Tournament.

Showalter's recent victory over Whit
aker may be the means of bringing the
former United States champion back
into the arena OF active chess. The
Kentuckian has already signiied his
readiness to take on Boris Kostio in a
ngame match for a stake of $500 a
side. AS Kostic claims to have beaten
the American master seven games to
two upon the occasion of their meet
ing during the Serbian masters recent
tour of the country. he can hardly re-
fuse this offer. Should Showalter win
this proposed match he probably will
attempt to win back his laurels from
Marshall during the coming winter,
provided, Of course. that Whitaker does
not succeed in lowering the champions
colors.
The managers of the coming meeting
of the New York State Chess Associa-
ton are understood to be in communi-
cation with Kostic and Showalter with
a view to having these masters stage
their match in Buffalo as a part OF the
general festivities. Certainly this would
add a most attractive feature to the
congress and it is to be hoped that the
Kentuckian can be enticed from his
farm for the occasion.
Franklin F. Russell, former cham
pion of oxford University. where he
was a Rhodes scholar, and one OF the
strongest players in New York, has

city. There is no doubt that he is one
of the four best right now.
Kelly has been pitching ball on the
local lots long enough to be known to
every follower of the game. He played
semi professional and professional ball
for three years, and had quite little
success. He has a good curve ball,
fair speed and experience. Kelly's only
fault Is a tendency to be wild. and IL
he can eradicate that, should be able
to go back into professional ranks. But
even with his wildness. nobody Ques-
lions his ability to pitch winning ball
in the local organizations.
Worden Dyer was star at Eastern
High two years ago. and has since been
making good with various amateur
teams. Dyer hits well, and his work
generally is we'll worthy of very favor

Kiehl Is Best Batter.
Dutch Kiehl. who rolds down the
position in left field. handles the de-
! fensive part Of his place all right, and
the fact that he is leading the league
in batting percentage of more than 400
causes the O. K. to be stamped on him
from an all-round standpoint. Kiehl is
a big fellow. weighing approximately
200 pounds. and sometimes when he
lays against the ball it does not stop
until after a couple Of outfielders have
chased themselves to death almost try
ing to retrieve it in time to prevent
him making the circuit of the bases.
Johnny Noone is a mighty handy
| player. too. He can pitch play the
outfeld. though the majority of his
performances this season have taken
| place in centerfeld. Noone can bat
| much better than the ordinary and is
I good in almost everything.
| Mike Moran at shortstop is one of
the two best men in the District in the
! position. He has a bad day once in
awhile. which is not an unheardof
| thing for ball players at all. but when
| he is right it would be next to impos-
sible for any other amateur to show
better class. Moran not only is one Of
the two best shortstops in the city. but
stands out even among the very best
performers in any of the positions.
Mike. too. is hard worker and gives
his best to the game.

IL it does not. And if it fails to capture
the title, the result of the season will
be just as much of jolt to THE follow

those who bank particularly on the

the attainment of all successes wherein

BY h. C. BYRD.

There is no way of convincing the
Rosedale team that it is not going to
win the pennant in the Rosedale
League; it is almost impossible to point
out to the satisfaction of the followers
of that organization that the Rosedale
nine does not have at least an even
chance to finish first in the post-sea-
son series. This should be sufficient
to show that the club now leading the
league which makes its home in North
east Washington and plays its games
on the Rosedale playground is one
worthy of more than passing notice,
else it would not have gained such
confidence in itself nor held the con-
1dence of the followers of the whole
organization.
The team can present a formidable
array of talent. On the offense it sell
dom has had trouble scoring runs,
and it seems to be possessed of a
strong enough defense easily to hold
at bay the majority of clubs it faces.
There is no doubt that Rosedale IL the
strongest team in the league, especi-
ally since it has recently been
strengthened by the acquisition of
several he" men WHO duNeu
among the stars of the amateur cir
cults Everybody that follows the
Rosedale League seems to concede the
Rosedale nine the pennant, and no
hesitancy is shown in voicing the be-
lief that it will have a good chance to
capture the city championship

Frazier caught for the Agriculture
nine in many of its games last year.
His work gave everybody good i'm

expressed the opinion that he would
develop into the best catcher in the
