lARD-DEMPSEY BOUT
 UNUSUALLY SHORT

The Willard Dempsey heavyweight championship bout scheduled for July at Toledo, was the one topic of dis cussion among. eastern fight followers during the last few days.
 Those who take more than a pass ing interest in ring affairs find it difficult to reconcile the idea of q heavyweight championship battle with this 12-round contest, and the glamor which surruonded the virtu- al fights o-a-tinish in which Sulli- van, Corbett, T'itzsimmons, Jefferies and even Johnson defended their titles, appears to be lacking. It is also a decided ring novelty for q heavyweight champion to agree to place his titie in jeopardy by a referees decision over such d short cut.
 With the exception of the 10 round no decision bout between Willard and F'arnk Moran i'll this city three years ago, which few ring experts took seriously from title passing angle, there is no record of such a
 short scheduled battle in the mod ern history of heavyweight fighting. Since the days of John L. Sullivan, championship contests in this class have ranged from 20 rounds upward. The Sullivan -Corbett bout was scheduled for 25 rounds A similar dissaucs WAS set for the Carhett-

JAPAN's OLDEST LEGEND.

They were the seventh of the divine
 generations, Izanami and IZanagi the
 mortal gods of whom the Immortals
 were begotten. They stood together on
 the Floating Bridge Of Heaven, and
 Izananli plunged the JeWel-spear into
 the green swirl of the sea. Drops Of
 brine fell from it. and they saw an isl
 and born. Together they went down to
 see land that they had made, and
 parted. going their different ways upon
 it: and when they met again each
 found the other fair. There were no
 men in the Land of the Reed Plains,
 which is now Japan, nor any gods but their two selves. and there they lived together. All the islands of the Island Sea were of their making: until the day that Izanagi brought the God of Burning Fire to birth,. and died of the anguish: Then Izanami went for her, saying: 70 Thine Augustness, my lovely younger. sister! That l should have exchanged thee for this single
 child!" and drawing his sword he sew the child, and took up his wife and buried her. But he was not comforted;
 and after some days he rose and went
 to seek her in the Land of Yori, which is the Country of the Dead. She saw him coming. Alas that thou didst delay thy coming I have eaten of the furnace of Yon1i. But I would fain go back Wait for me, while I plead with .Ae Gods of Yomi And look not upon

me- For a long time he waited: but she was long of coming. And when he could no longer endure the hunger of his desire, he lit torch and crossed the threshold to find her She lay within the threshold and she had seen corruption.
 Then he turned and fled. And she rose crying out at the shame he had put upon her. and followed him. But at the Even Pass of Yonli he hurled a great rock upon the path, and they stood, he on this side and she on that and took leave of one another. So they parted, and she returned and became the Goddess of the Land of Yomi. But for himself he came out upon the clover fields of the island of Tsukushf which of all the islands lies over against the sun. And he cried aloud
 oh hideous! I am come from a hid eous and polluted land" and plunged into the river to purify himself. And from the waters of his purification the gods were born.
 It is the oldest Japanese legend; that shrinking from corruption is part oi the elemental fastidiousness of the race. Buddhism only intensified it: bound up with it's own mistrust of love as the ileshliest of the dusts that bind the soul to the senses. It is hard at best for a man to see the world as q mirage flung upon eternity, to let its affairs go past him like cloud rack : indistlnct as water is in water" But when love comes upon him, and all the sweetness of the world becomes incar- nate in one small but ravishing sub- stance nothing else is.'

Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia are in lited to participate.
 This idea was conceived by Joseph Thum, dean of the bowling fraternity, to whom more than any one other man in this country the bowling sport owes it's success. Recently he had to undergo an operation for Mas toiditis,I and while convalescing in the hospital, this his favorite sport, took up nearly his entire thoughts and there worked out the details of this monster duckpin championship tournament. There will be- three events, hve-men teams, two men teams and individual bowling. Out of-town teams may bowl all three events in one day. During tris sea son of the year there are thousands bowlers from ut-of- town visiting New York, and they can combine their sight trip, or whatever else may attract them to the big town with bowling contest. The en- try fee is $2.50 per man for each event and all prizes will be in cash. Already the entries are pouring in. not alone from Manhattan and Brooklyn, but entries have been re- ceived from the Cleveland A. C.. Cleveland, O., six teams from Phila- delphia and many teams from New Jersey and Connecticut. The tourn- amert will be held at Thum's White Elephant Bowling Academy, 1241 Broadway, corner 31st street. Uncle Joe. Thum will gladly send appli- cation blanks upon request and fur nish and further information desired The opening day will be June 18th with entries closing on June 7th.

ERROR CAUSES STOP OF NO SCORE GAME

New York and Washington play ed twelve inning no score tie here today which was called at q few min utes to six o'clock by Umpire Dineen, under instructions from President Ruppert of the New York Americans, who erroneously believed that the new Sunday amusement law compell- ed games to stop at six. Light con- ditions were almost as good as when the game started.
 Later, after the bats were bagged the players under the showers, and most of the crowd had started home ward, club officials declared that an error had been made and that the law provided only that games start at , o'clock and made no mention of the stopping time.
 It was the first American league contest here under the new ordinance. From the time that Peckinpaugh sin gled in the first inning until Baker walked in the tenth inning Johnson retired twenty eight batsmen in or der.
