Efforts to Stop Gambling at Ball
 Park Being Made

Efforts to prohibit all gambling dur ing baseball games at Redwood park are being made by the police and de- tective departments OF instructions from John H. Taylor. commissioner of public safety.
 Extra policemen and detectives have been detailed to the park. To date no arrests have been made. Complaints reaching Commissioner Taylors office were mostly result of the two games Monday
 Commissioner Taylor's letter sent to the chiefs of the detective and police departments is as follows:
 From reports that I get I am of the opinion that there is entirely too much gambling going on during the baseball games at Redwood field. also that many people engage in loud and boisterous conversation which is not entirely free from profanity and is disgusting to the ladies who patron ize the ball park.
 Kindly take the necessary steps to break up this gambling and betting on the ball games at the ball park"

Another good game went into the discard yesterday. It was the sec ond in as many days that the Ba- rons failed to win when the victory could have been had for the taking. A ninth inning rally failed because the punch to score n man from sec Ond with only out vas lack ing. Wednesdays game was lost exactly the same way.
 And the one on whom the defeat is hardest of all is Morrison Merry cer- tainly made big bid for that game By all rules of baseball eff there are any) John should have won that game
 We'll try it again, meaning we'll hazard another guess at the bat terfes for the game today. Yester- day both Friend Zipp and I missed our guesses as to who would pitch for the Barons and for the Bears. The surest way to get double crossed is to try a pick at the pitchers. Our guess for today is; Sigman for Mobile, and Glaxner for Birming ham,

The Princetonians had easy going in the jumps and with the weights.
 R. E. Brown of Princeton won the 1oo- yard dash. B. c. D. Rudd of Oxford, the South African runner. was second; R. D. Clark of Princeton was third and Wood of Oxford was fourth.

JOHNSTON J LEADING GOBERT IN DAVIS
 CUP NET CONTESTS
By Associated Pres,


 Fast Bourne, England, July S.-The Davis Cup matches have been set hack at least one day because of rain. The singles between William M. Johnston. American champion. and A. H. Colbert. the French representative, were inter- rupted today when the American was leading. 4-3, with the next game 30 all The rain continues tonight, so that prospects for play tomorrow are not good.
 The court was extremely slippery and so slow that the ball did not bound properly. It skidded and shot along the ground and after a few minutes of play got heavy and discolored.
 When the games were four to one in favor of Johnston Colbert began hitting more firmly. and although his foothod on the court was not secure. he went to the net. and. using his tremendous reach. played some perfect volley shots, bringing his score up to within striking distance of the American Johnston volleyed occasionally and made three or four big smashes, but for the most part he played at the back of the court.
 Play will be resumed at o'clock to- morrow if the courts are in shape.

 GEORGE CARNEY" Garvey further states that a few ex- tra interesting features can be arrang- ed for race.
 If there are any who care to take Seymour up on this challenge, they can get hold of Garvey at West Lake any day. The time of the boxing bouts at Redwood park for the Rainbow vet erans is fast drawing near. A splendid card has been arranged by c. W. Streit, chairman of the sports committee, for the veterans. All Rainbow men are ex- pected to turn out Tuesday, when the meet will take place.
 A ringside will be constructed about three yards behind the home plate, view of the bouts will be afforded by the grandstand seats, also.

New York, July S.--Chance of championship bout between Georges Carpenter nnd Jack Demp- sey Is regarded ms unlikely before next year, "if ever" Jack kearns, Dempscy's manager. declared to- day following n conference here with Francisco Deschamps, the Frenchman's manager and others prominent in boxing circles.
 kearDs has signified his willing ness at the conference to contract to box Cnrpentier mt any tinsc or place agreeable to the two princi- pals for the highest purse offered. hut William A. Brady reprcscn ting Charles Cochran, London fight pro- moter. produced n contract which Cnrpentier signed after he knocked out Joe Beckett. the English heavyweight. in London last fall. This contract gave Cochran an op- tion until December 31, next. A clause forbids Carpentier or his manager from even discussing Dempsey with any other promoter.
 Deschnmps took refuge behind the clause.
 Apparently the only avenue open for discussion of n match would be for kcnrns and Dempsey to accept Carpenters challenge issued in Paris last year in which it was specified that the bout would have to be held In England or France under Cochran's management.
 Kearns, however, refused to con- sent to have Dempsey go to Eu- rope to defend his title. He would not bind himself to deal with COch- ran alone, as he believed it would preclude nII chances of Obtaioing higher bid from some other pro- mOter.
 Carpenter, who came to the United states several months ago, will safI home next Saturday. He

HAS PAJL KNOCKED OUT
 OF PARK KY RARE RITTH

One of Little Rocks youngest baseball fans owns souvenir of the game that he wouldn't sell for lot of real money. It is baseball that vas knocked out of an American League park by Babe Ruth this season. The ball is considerably worse for the abuse. for it is no longer round. When the mighty Babe hits them he doesn't hurt 'em any more than would a heavily loaded truck if it ran over them.
 The ball was sent to young Flynn, who is 13. by his father, Joe Flynn vice presj- dent of Boilermakers' and Shipbuilders' Union. whose office is in Kansas City. Bill Dineen. American League umpire, threw out the ball after it was returned to the park. because 1t was Iopsided Later he gave it to Umpire Zimmerman. who works in the American Association. and Finnernan passed it along to Mir.

EVERS TO LEAD GIANTS

New York, July 5.-Those who are baseball fans might be interested in the latest morsel of gossip affecting John tMuggsy) McGraw and the New York Giants. Christy Mathewson, who was supposed to be McGraws assistant, has gone to the Adirendacks to seek relic. from bronchial affection. It will also be recalled that several deals have been hinted at and that Benne Kauff being shifted to the International League had nothing at all to do with the fact that Ben-ah has been mentioned in connection with the theft of an automobile.
 But have any of you heard the whis- per that Mathewson's departure from the Giants presaged the naming of Johnnie Evers as McGraw's successor? Whaty Never heard of it? Well, keep your ears open.-Washington Post.
