WRANCLE, OR SOMETHING, IS SHEDDING FORTH

THE well known dope was kicked all
i around the place at the Point
Breeze Nelodrome last night. Frank
Cory, the Australian champ, did the
booting and 5000 Of Philadelphia pop
ulace saw the punting.
It was in the fifty mile Golden Wheel
classic. Clarence Carman. the world s
titleholder, was the favorite Vincenzo
Maddona was rated as second best I:
Menus Bedell as third and the other
two-meaning Cory and George Col
ombatto--- were rank outsiders.
Cory crossed the dope. In the first
place, he was far from outside and he
was anything but rank. This was proved
when the riders collected, for CORY got
first money and Carnan second The
others never finished.
Weather Crossed
The weather also was crossed and
now the drome is batting 800 against
the rain. Two races out of four have
been staged. The weather came through
strong in the last part of the long
grind. however. and the event had to
be cut from fifty to forty eight miles
but that didn't make much difference
for Carman was almost two miles behind
and there wasn't a chance for him &c
catch the speeding Cory.
The Australian was fortunate in
drawing Jimmie Hunter, the loca
pacemaker, as his guide. and Jimmie
took him around at a steady pace. not
too fast to burn i'm out and not toe
slow to put him out of the running

of buncombe, that stuff about the In

Dempsey Brennan match. l don't
know how that dope ever came out of

the Baron himself The sage of Leiper-
vile was excited. somebody had put
something over and he wanted to set
us right, and, incidentally, the reading
public and everybody.

continued the voice of the very much
peeved Baron. "No offer of 1925 900
for the bout btween Dempsey and
Brennan was made by the International
Sporting Club. and whoever pulled the
stuff that it would be put on at the
Polo Grounds must have had a pipe
dream.
"Yes. to be sure. an offer of 1925.
600 was made. and I was the one who
made it. haven't taken the trouble
to dope out how I can afford to give so
big n purse for that match. but. if |
can arrange 1t, Brennan and Dempsey
are going to box right here in Philly."
The importance of the bout between
Jack Dempsey and Bill Brennan is evi-
denced in the fattering offer which
Dougherty has made. No such purse
has ever been put up for bout in this
city. Dougherty ought to know what
he is doing, and said that he felt conf :
