DOMINANT PICK
 IN RACE TODAY

The weights for the Carrier Handi- cap, to be run today at Aqueduct, show that in the estimation of Hand capper Vosburg Sun Briar is the best sprinter in the country, while Natu- raist and little Flags are rated on a par with each other. Sun Briar is asked to take up 133 pounds, while Naturalist and Flags take up one pound less.
 Lucullite comes next with 130 pounds, while Dominant, which dem- onstrated that he is in the best of form after his long absence from the turf, is ranked below Old Koenig, Westy Hogan, The Porter and Sunny Slope. Dominant will carry 12S.
 According to report Dominant is on edge for the Carter, and he probably will be a. hot favorite for that event. He is a handsome big fellow who looks as though he could carry any amount of weight and give a good ac- count of himself. Dominant has a. big advantage over the others in that all though he now is six years of age he is a fresh horse, not having been burnt up by constant training and racing during the years in which he was developing.
 Commander Ross's great colt Sir Barton is highly honored by being asked to pack 126 pounds. Billy Kelly is another three-year-o1d that is we'll thought of by the handicapper. who has fixed the burden he must carry at 123 pounds.

British Promoters Offer of Match For $15O,0O0 Cheer fully Received By Willard and Dempsey.
By ROGER FFRRI

oy hooffS f E2tftl
 From London today came a cable gram sent by Promoter Cochran offer ing the winner of the Jess Willard Jack Dempsey championship bout at Toledo this afternoon q chance to earn a purse of $125, ,000 by meeting Georges Carpenter, the French heavyweight champion, or Jim Bee kett the British titleholder, In a championship battle of twenty rounds to be staged in London in November or December.
 The cablegram was delivered to Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey in Toledo this forenoon and both seemed interested in the offer. Both wanted to know more about the proposition, but inquiry was postponed pending the outcome of their meeting. The winner, according to the proposi Ion outlined briefly in the overseas mes l sage. provides that the winner receive GO per cent. of the purse and the loser 10 per cent.
 Announcement was also contained l in the message of the matching of | Carpenter and Beckett for the heavy | weight championship. It is intended, | undoubtedly, to match the winner of | this contest with the winner of to. days affair out in Toledo. | Willard after reading the cable | gram authorized the following state | ment to be made for him: l T am interested in the proposition | made by Promoter Cochran and be- l lieve that I will be the one with | whom he will have to do business as I know that I will successfully defend | my championship against Dempsey i today. I have never seen Jack Demp- | sey box. All I know about him has | been brought to me by my friends who are extremely confident that l will not only defeat him, but knock him out as well.
 T feel it way down in my heart that I can defeat my opponent and there isn't going to be a wasted mo- | ment so far as l am concerned. I will try to make things short as I can Of course, accidents will happen an6
 if by chance I happen to lose my | championship, I will retire perman- ! entity from the ring. If I am defeat l ed today I will have no cause fol
 complaint, but will be glad to shake | the hand of the man who can con- | quer me-.
 Jack Dempsey, according to the Associa ted Press correspondent ir Toledo, was as optimistic as his op- ponent, about winning. Like the 1 champion he believes he will win via the knockout route. If there can be any fault with Dempsey 1t is his | overconfidence. Statements and re | ports that he is not in fit condition | are not borne out as the truth by the early Associated Press dispatches | from Toledo.
 Dempsey said to the A. P man | today:
 Tt is very kind of MT. Cochrane
 to make such an offer and if I win land I know I will will surely | be glad to talk business with him
 anyway my manager, Jack Kearns,
 will. I make it a practice not to in
 terfere with Kearns. He is the best
 pal I've got outside of my mother

I5 DRIVERS IN
 BIG AUTO RACE

New York, July 4-Fifteen auto speed kings, driving the fastest ma chimes in the world, were to clash in the 10O-mile Independence Auto Der by this afternoon at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway. Preceding this bat tie Ralph De Palma, holder of all the worlds sprint records, and 'tHowdy" Wilcox were to meet in special match race in three ten-mile heats for the title of Americas premier auto racer.
 That motor fans may keep in touch with the championship battle be- tween Jess Willard and Jack Demp- sey in Toledo, Manager James J. Johnston has arranged to flash com plete returns, giving each round in detail, to the patrons of the Speed way.
 The meeting between De Palma and Wilcox promises to be the most sen sational automobile race ever run in this country, even surpassing the mo- table feats of Tracey, Robertson, and Grant. The present day champions in their two-mile-a-m minute machines will tavel around the board oval at a spesd that will dazzle the throng. Aside from the factor of speed there is more rivalry between De Palma and Wilcox. who defeated the bril- liant Italian-American in the s50.O00 Indianapolis classic, than any two daredevils that ever looked through goggles.
 De Palma, hero of countless thrill ling gasoline battles, claims the dis tinction of outspeeding all rivals over a short distance since his machine creatat new worlds records from one to twenty miles, when his machine flashed over a Florida beach course at rate of more than 140 miles an hour.
 "Howdy" Wilcox culminated a long string of victories over a longer route when his famous blue Peugeot whirl- ed home first in the 500-mile Indian apo1is race.
 The 1O0-naile Derby will bring to- gether one of tho classiest fields that ever pursued auto fanA and gold at SheepsheaA Bay.

 Ever since the game first became popular in this country freak golf has had intermittent breathing spells. More especially is this so in the West, but the queerest thing yet heard of Is a stunt brought off by the Nesting house Agent-Jobbers' association dur ing a recent convention at Del Sonte. California.
 The affair was a driving contest, but to start off the player was bltnd- folded, turned rapidly around and around until he had lost all sense of direction, then told to take as many steps as he had strokes allowed by lis handicap.
 About half of the contestants walk ed off the back of the tee, most of the others wont to one side or the other, and only q few happened tn hit it right and march straight down the fairway. When the players had taken the allotre1 number of stops the bandage was removed and they were allowed to drive from the spot where they happened to be.
