LIEUT.. CHAPPLE IN
MOTORCYCLE RACES
Will Defend Championship in
National Meet at Sleeps
head Bay.

Lieut.. Arthur Chapple. the worlds
speed king, is coming back to the motor
cycle racing game. The premier pilot
last night telegraphed from Springfield,
Mass, his entry for the professions,
championship meet to be held next Sat-
urday afternoon at the Sheepshead Bay
Speedway. He will compete In five OF
the eight tltular races-in the four ma
tional events at two, ten. fifty and 100
miles and in the ten mile metropolitan
professional championship.
This intrepid rider, who reigned su-
preme for several years at the old
Brighton Motordrome, will also mitlSe an
attempt to lower his own worlds record
for a mile OF Sc seconds, or at ths rate
OF 100 miles an hour. Lieut. Chapple,
who Is attached to the Eth Regiment
Infantry, Brooklyn, holds every record
on the steeply banked track from one to
100 miles.
1t will be Chapple's first appearances
in real competition In nearly two years.
as he served Uncle Sam during that
time. But "Chappie" retains his old
nerve, daring and stamina and is colfi-
dent he will repulse the efforts of the
impetuous youngsters to dethrone him.
No Easy Task for ChappIe.
Chapple will have no easy task TO
successfully defend his crown as speed
king, for he will be called upon to con-
tend against the most formidable crop
of young riders the game has ever de-
veloped. His foremost rival will be
Eugene Walker, who a fortnight ago
annexed tho national professional cham
pionships at one, five and twenty-five
miles, and who Is determined to make
a sweep of all the titular events this
season. Gene Walkers performances
this season have merited his title as the
Southern Streak"
Other champion riders who have all
ready entered and who will endeavor to
unseat Lieut.. Chapple from his pedestal
are:
Mike Costello, the italian speed demon,
an old Brighton idol Otto Walker, who
has just returned from France after
fourteen months on the firing line. and
who, on July 4, 1917, swept the card in
the championship meet at the Sleeps
head track: Charles (''Shrimp"D Burns.
the dirt track champion Ralph Hep

championship recently: Roy Artley the
| Pacific coast champion, and holder OF
| more road records than any man in the
| world Baxter ("Red") Potter, winner OF
| the 1919 New Jersey championship en-
| durance run Tied" Carroll, the twenty
four hour champion; Ray Weishaar, the

the fifty-one-year-o pioneer racer, and
about half dozen others of slightly

c!ation. which Is reviving the perilous
game after lapse of nearly three years,
Is making an effort to inject a little in

Australian champion, to enter. Coleman
has just come to this country after clean
ing up all opposition in his own country,
and he may be induced to start against
the American daredevils.
Another much sought entry is that of

Gig OHer in Detroit.

Detroit is already in the field with an
offer, and we have IL on the very best OF
authority that one rich young broker
has asserted that he will personally
guarantee a sum not less than $4,000
for a worlds international golf cham
pionship, with the distinct understanding
that the big pros from Great Britain
match their skill against that OF the
cracks in the United states. His re-
strictions are not severe, for the whole
idea is simply this-to match in COM
ptitlon the worlds greatest golfers.
The other two cities chosen for play
are New York and Philadelphia, with a
possibility that Pittsburg might take the
place Of the latter. Several club mem
bers in the metropolitan section have
been doing little missionary work. and
so far the results are decidedly en-
couraging In due time the plans VIII
be made known; for the present we can
say that the golfing season of 1920 ought
to furnish the biggest boom that this
country has ever experienced since
Harry yardon's visit in 1898.
The thought in the minds OF the
amateur promoters" II such We may
call them, is to have the foremost OF the
worlds golfers meet on four Cor eight
different courses in four cities. The
prize money would be distributed some
what after this order:

Ty Cobb Again Wins

With the major league seasons ending

With the major league seasons ending
to-day in most cities Ty Cobb of the
Tigers again is the champion of the
American League, while Eddie Roush of
the Reds has a nice margin in the Ma
tional League. but is not yet quite out
Of the woods.
Cobb was sure of his twelfth American
League batting championship several
weeks ago. He is hitting .37s, thirty-two
points better than Bob veach, his team
mate. who is second among the regulars.
Rogers Hornsby Of the Cardinals has
put on quite a squirt and gained eight
points on Roush last week. Eddie held
steady at 1872, while Hornsby jumped
from .s11 to .317. A Garrison finish
might enable Hornsby to beat out Roush.
but FIVE points with only a few games to
go Is quite a lead.
Ty Cobb has made the most hits In
the American League. 4S5. and Babe
Ruth of the Red Sox has scored the
most runs, 102. OF these twenty-eight
are home runs, Eddie Collins leads In
stolen bases Cicotte, Collinss team
mate on the White Sox, leads the pitch
ers with twenty-nine victories and seven
defeats.
in the National League Roush and
Hornsby are tied in knocking out hits
with 15s. Burns of the Giants leads In
scoring runs and stealing bases. Ruether
of the Reds leads the regular pitchers
with nineteen victories and six defeats.

for much money to be collected. We

how the American professionals stand
with their golfng rivals abroad than
determining in some such way their
respective merits.
Sufficient for the present 10 say that

and while the obstacles seem great they
are by no means insurmountable. One

ready has shown enough interest to
make the affair at this end grand

Leavitt saves stuyvesant.

With the ball on Commercials thirty
FIVE yard line, Stuyvesant tried to exc
cute a forward pass which was inter-
cepted by ."Rube" Hassel, Commercials
right halfback. With clear field in
front of him, Hassel ran around right
end, with Eeavitt in hot pursuit. The
Red and Black player, after run OF
more than half the distance of the field,
brought the Commercial lad to earth on
(Ninton's twelve yard line.
Here Commercial, on the next play,
tried forward pass, which was offside.
AS a result, the Red and Gray was
pt nalized fifteen yards. This placed the
ball on the twenty-five yard line in Stuy-
vesant's hands. After three line plunges
by Stuyvesant the final whistle found
the ball on the thirty-ive yard line.
Stuyvesant was twice within the
shadow of the Brooklynites' goal posts.
Ia the latter part OF the second quarter
the "Dutchmen," through a series or
line plunges, planted the ball on Com

$4,000 FOR GOLF

j. G.. Anderson Tells Of Pro-

PRIZE MONEY OFFERED
Many Sections Working to Fill
Their Quotas in National
Programme.
MONEY OFFERED
By JOHN G. ANDERSON.

Forty thousand dollars as prize money
for golf professionals playing in but
four tournamentsl That Is the pro-
gramme which has been mapped out by
few members ard friends of the p. @.
A. for the coming year, and we have
suspicion that the scheme Is likely to go
through. Golf professionals, for their
exhibitions, receive less money than any
of the other professional exhibitors. This
is due primarily to the fact that no gate
money is charged for golf exhibitions
unless there is some charity organization
to be aided.
Nor will 1t be possible to levy tax Of
over 81 on spectators at big golf con-
tests There are no grand stand seats
to be filled, the play covers acres of
ground and the galleryites do as much
work as the exhibitors. They walk as
far, climb hills and hurry down dales
and In a crowd have to push and hustle
to get in at the finish Of hole. have
known hundreds of golfers literally tuck
cred out at the end of 36 hole gallery
progress, although they could play
double round without fatigue.
1t would be tempting disaster to ask
of these more than 81. Golf profession
ais so far have been the recipients OF
club donations, personal contributions,
or association purses for championships
or exhibitions, and 1t is unlikely that
there will ever be any radical changes In
the future.
Record SUNNI Raised.
The money which is being offered for
exhibitions or championships is greater
this year than at any time since the
game was started in this country. There
has scarcely been State, district or golf
association which has not raised the
sums for the first eight or ten places,
| while the associations to hold champion
ships for the first time, such as the Ohio
State organization did this week. have
put at least $1,000 UP for contest. In
the up State event at Utica last week
| over s1.400 was given for the privilege
of having the members OF golf clubs or
| all interested in golf see the stars per-
| form.
The fact that we may expect a bit of
! rivalry between clubs and sections bid
ding for the pros will tend to raise
the value OF the purses. 1t has been sug-
gested that the U. s. G. A. act as a clear
| Ing house for all the big tourney dates of
| the year. Whether this will be done has
not been decided as yet. Assu-adly it
would aid a great deal in preventing
conflicts, samples of which we had this
| year II would be better for all con-
cerned II there were as few conflicts as
possible.
Jock Hutchison and Bob Macdonald
Of the Chicago district are the prime
movers in the raising OF the $4,000
purse for one part of the western dis
trict. They have spoken to several in
fuential golfers, members of their re-
spective clubs, and others who are al
ways interested in helping along the
sport, and assurances so far have been
forthcoming that success will attend

s24, 900 AGGREGATE OF SALE
Arnold Peery Says They Are Satisfied
With Profits Made and Says It Was
Due to Feeding Grades or Pure
Ereds.


With five cars of cattle numbering
1926 head X. A. Peery & Son, Of
Spring Hill, sold the best bunch OF
cattle Monday in st. Louis that reach
ed that market that day They re-
csived $4,000 for the. bunch. which
was divided into Sc head of heavies
that averaged 1884 pounds and
brought SIG hundred, and 80 lighter
grade that averaged 1898 pounds and
sold for $3.50 hundred. The top
market that day for cattle weighing
close to 1900 pounds was $3.50.
Arnold Peery speaking of the sale
said that he and his father were well
satisfied with the outcome of this
bunch of cattle, most of which they
bought last fall, but that it would be
entirely wrong to think that the $24,-
600 they received was all profit. With
feed as high as it is, he said, it takes
a lot Of capital to operate on.
The heavy cattle were bought last
fall and were kept on the pasture un-
til December when they were fed ST.
lage and meal during the winter.
They were worked Off gradually on to
the pasture this spring and finished
on corn. The lighter grades were
bought this spring and were finished
on the pasture and with corn. The
cattle cost Peery & Son $4,000 and
were fed more than $4,000 worth Of
meal alone, besides the silage, corn
and paSturage All Of the cost of
feeding and handling this bunch Of
cattle amounted to a considerable
sum, but they were sold at the right
time to return good profit for the
years labor.
These cattle were grades or pure
breds, demonstrating again the advan-
tage of feeding only the best grade Of
live stock for the market. The same
number of poorer grade would have
consumed as much food without de-
veloping as much weight.
