TOM SHARKEY FAR
FROM BEING BROKE

San Francisco, July 1T,-wheu the
newspapers the other day published
about Tom Sharkey going through bank
ruptcy they failed to get the inside of
the proceedings Tom is still in business
on Kearny street and is not suffering for
any Of the little necessities Of life.
What prompted Tom to go through
bankruptcy was simply this: About a
year and a half ago, before Tom decided
to leave New York, he took lease on
a storeroom on Forty-eighth street e1-
pecting TO go into the saloon business.
After he took the lease he found that
he could not obtain the Necessary permit
TO start a saloon on that particular
street The lease became q white ele-
phant.
Tom thought that when he came 70
San Francisco the lease would be termi-
mated. But every month he received q
bill for rent
Tom got out his pencil and figured
that IL the lease was not terminated. al
the end Of twenty-one yesrs-the term
for which the lease was arranged-hs
would have paid out about 10000.
He laid the matter before his lawyer,
and that gentleman, after due consider
alton, suggested bankruptcy proceedings
the best means out Of Toms predica-
ment
Now Tom is arranging TO sue the New
York property owner for 5000. He
states that when the lease was entered
into said owner knew that a permit for
another saloon on Forty-eighth street
was not to be had.

WOODLAND HANDICAP
WON BY FENMOUSE

New York. July 17.-Fenmouse, an old
Belmont speeder, captured the Woodlawn
Handicap at Empire City today, taking
the great Bayberry Candle into
camp. Bayberry Candle looked to have
the race won at about half the distance
home. but was eased up and Fenmouse
caught her. The latter took up the run
ming and when Bayberry Candle tried
to get inside on the rail turning into the
stretch, McTaggart brought Fenmouse
over and shut out Bayberry Candle.
Consequently Bayberry Candle was
forced to slow up and came along on
the outside. She was unable to overcome
the lead Of Fenmouse. In the stretch
drive McTaggart kept carrying his rival
out and impeded the latter's speed. 1t
was expected that Lotus would make a
claim of foul. but such was not the case.
Fenmouse was quoted at to 5, while
Bayberry Candle was 7 to 10. Sum-

VOLLMER TO TRY FOR
NEW AQUATIC MAIL

New York, July 1.-THE New York
Athletic Club, upon application. has re-
ceived permission from the A A L. to
hold 5oo-meter swimming race in its ma
tatorium tomorrow night The purpose
Of the Winged Foot organization in apply
ing for this event was to give Herbert
Vollmer, their crack amphibian, a chance
at the worlds record for the distance.
The present record is held by J. G. Hat
field, of England, who four years ago
covered the distance, over II turns. in
$50 As
Otto wahle, chairman Of the Metropoli-
tan Swimming Committee, recently held
a watch on Vollmer during one of the
latter's training workouts. and found that
the n. Y. A. c. star came within small
margin of equaling the 5oo-meter mark,
and that without undue exertion. This
performance convinced Wahle that the
New York A. c. swimmer had an excel
lent chance Of hanging up a new mark
for the distace, and the clubs applica-
ton for permission to stage the event
followed.
Three other New York A. c. swimmers
will compete with Vollmer in this race.
They are Teddy Cam, J. A. Zinnoch and
J. Curran.

FRANK MORAN SIGNS
TO BOX CARL MORRIS

New York, July 17.-Frank Moran fin
ally has been signed up to box Carl Nor
ris fifteen hounds to a decision at Tusla,
Okla, on Labor Day. Ike Dorgan. who
handles the commercial transactions OF
the sorrel-topped PittsbUrgher, affixed
his signature to the articles yesterday.
The trip West will be profitable as well
as pleasant for Francis Charles. as the
articles call for a guarantee Of $1,000
with the privilege Of IS per cent Of the
gate. The pleasant part of the trip is
that Moran expects very little trouble
with Morris, although the Oklahoma
giant still is regarded as a wonder on
his native heath.
Be that as 1t may, Moran will take nc
chances on the state of his health this
time. His carelessness about training
cost him considerable humiliation in the
recent bout with Jack Dillon. and Frank
is convinced as to the necessity OF pre-
paredness in his life work. Moran eN-
poets to check his new automobile at the
Grand Central Station about the first of
the month and to start West for a
months real work before undertaking the
seemingly easy task Of spiIlins the Okla
homa giant.
Dorgan will leave New York at the
same time. So will Willie Lewis. When
he returns Moran will demand a return
match with Dillon.
