Pete is a n-hving home boy. He is saving his pennies and taking the best care of himself. He isn't wasting time hanging around friends" who delight in having a good time on his money And neither is he neglecting himself Hartley is happy and he has many good times in his quiet, harm less way.
 He knocked out Chic Brown beyond a question of doubt.
 Now Leo r. Flynn is claiming the lightweight championships the State for his bout.
 He is justified in doing so, for Pete Hartley is one of the very. very few who can really make the lightweight limit. There are a lot of Philadelphia lightweights in this State, who claim the same distinction. But these claim this title because there is nothing else to claim. K.Js
 Hartley now wants to meet Louis Bogash. There can be no answer that there is no one willing to stage this match, for the Boston and Lowell clubs both stand ready to talk bus mess with the scrappers' managers.

On the Thistle side Mccall and Tender son were missing but neverth heless both teams were strongly represented

The Belmont meeting has so far been the greatest success-the expectations of the most liberal horseucu having been eN- ceetied. The public has given the meeting splendid support, while tho racca have been keenly contested for and incidently have furnished coHsid- orablc sport.
 This weeks big event will be the Belmont Stake at a mile and three eiEhths. which will be decided on wcdnesday-tho closing day. The Belmont has d guaranteed value Of s1O.OOO. but it will run considerably over that sum.

The selection, however. is ten tative. for the full entry list will not be made known until after tomor- rows races.

THE victory of Pete Hartley over Chic Brown Of New Haven r1eased many and disappointed as many others. Both have a big follow ing in this State. However, the knockout was scored so cleaniy that there is no doubt as to the supremacy of the Derby bout.
 Brown has not been the most care full boxer in the world. He has not teen the most industrious lad either He has not taken the care that a boxer should take of himself. That he has joined the class of ''has-beens" at An age when the average boxer is ,Srf his prime of his career is due to his own neglect.
 Hartley. on tho other hand. is everyything that Chic Brown wasn't. He always trains and can always be found in condition; that's why he is able to box so regularly and consist entity. Pete won because he was the better man physically. Brown had been i'll and tried to come back" by rushing through two weeks of train ing, which can't be done.

 During one of the recenr-CardiTlai contests a Ebbets Field in Brooklyn the Cardinals engaged in several con ferences while the Robins were at bat, and in the eighth inning. during one of the talkfests, Ray Schmandt scored from second base. With two out and Ray on first, Zack Wheat dropped a short single behind second Hornsby, Miller and Smith all went after the ball. Smith picked it up off the grass and handed it to Horns by. Schmandt reached the middle bag on the hit, and when he got there he saw the three Cardinals en- gagged in a. controversy. Their con- versation seemed to be so important that 1t was evident they forgot Schmandt was on the base paths Ray quickly grasped the situation and ran home. As he was about to cross the plate Hornsby heard Catch CT Clemons's frantic pleas to throw the ball, but the Cardinals shortstop held the pellet in his hands.

He has undergone two operations and carries a jagged scar over his left eye as a reminder of tho accident. He hopes to receive his discharge from the army shortly and says he will be ready to play ball as soon as Uncle Sam no longer is in need of his services
 A peculiar play occurred in the fifth inning of a recent game betweeni the Yankees and the St. Louis Browns at the Polo Grounds in New York, when Gedeon made an unas-l sisted play at first base because Sis Ter, the first baseman, couldn't make 1t. With Ping Bodie on second. Ruer ming in for the play. On the next. pitched ball Sis1er again ran in and Gedeon ran over toward first base to cover 1t if Sisler fielded the ball. Ruel hit hard, the ball bounded over Stsler's head and Gedeon still going toward first, took it on another bound He kept on moving and the bag ahead of Ruel, Sis Ter all the time being we'll up in the infield.

Bill Brown of New York has been appointed referee Of the Jack Demp- sey-Jess Willard bout This an- nouucement is not official, yet it is true. Bill conducted a vigorous cam pa!Eu for the job and while other candidates werc talking and other wise boosting themselves in the pub lie press, Brown was in secret con- ferences with the boxers and Rick ard. The appointment was made yesterday and Brown has been rou- fled of his appointment.
 With the naming of Brown, the name of Dave Fitzgerald of New Ha- ven disappears, While Brown Is fully able and capable of refereeinS such a match, fans in this state will regret the passing up of the New Ha- ven man. B!H has refereed many cham pionship bouts and will not feel lost when he enters the ring.

 Any doubt about the exact status of A. L. Walker, Jr., in local golfing cir cles. which may have existed prior to the metropolitan tournament was very thoroughly ana completely dispelled by that young man with his playing throughout the tournament. Hence forth Walker is among those present, whenever you begin to call the roll of those who belong in metropolitan golf company.

ARCADE TO-DAY
LOS ANGELES POLICE
TOO CONSCIENTIOUS


"Stop thief" shouted hundreds of
frightened men and women as a man
dashed through the crowded streets
OF Los Angeles. Policemen heard the
cries and did stop the thief. and so
upset the plans of an enthusiastic
motion picture director.
The thief whom they arrested was
n perfectly harmless motion picture
actor. who was making n runaway
scenes for "Pitfals of Big City," the
Gladys Brockwell photoplay now show
ing at the Arcade.
There were many handicaps while
scenes were being made for this pic
ture. At another time a woman in
sisted upon standing in front of the
camera and grinning in the Celluloid
while the camera men were trying TO
make pictures OF the runaway theft
It required genius to got the numerous
scenes In the crowded streets of busy
Los Angeles. The director lost sew
eral pounds In weight. but after three
hours ne succeeded in making some
of the best chase scenes ever pro-
dnced.
