 Deal, England, July l.-The British open golf championship has been won by the veteran British golfer. George Dun can, who covered the four rounds in S03 Alexander Herd, also of England and former champion was the runner up with S05.
 Jim Barnes. the American professional, who yesterday was tied with Herd for second place, finished fifth. with SoS His score was tied by l.. Holland, whose play was one of the sensations of the day.
 Both American contenders were un- fortunate Barnes kept getting on the wrong side of the wind and was twice in the rough at the ninth and again at the eighteenth, while he also missed sport butts at the last two holes. Walter Hagen, the other American pro- fcssional, who was hopelessly in the rear at the conclusion of the first two rounds, did badly in the third round today, scor- ing s. which left him without pos sihle chance
 Hagen finished fifty-second on the list Herd spoiled his chance at the six teenth, where he was twice bunkered and took seven for the hole Barnes was we'll pleased with his per fcrmance in this his first attempt at the British championship. He found the course different, but has no regret and sa%s he will return and try next year

Fly JAMES J. CORBETT

koadwork and swimming will do more to condition an athlete than any thing else in the world" comments Tim hcGrath of San Francisco, world fa- nous as a trainer and conditioner of fighters.
 McGrath, in the hey dey of his ca- reer, bossed the training programme of some of the greatest battlers in the world. Tom Sharkey, Battling Nelson. George Dixon. Mysterious Billy Smith. bal Hawkins, and nearly a hundred others, were whipped into physical per- lection by Tim.
 This gymnasium stuff is good, but 1t doesn't count in comparison with rcadwork," declares McGrath. "A week on the road will do more to get a fighter into the pink than six weeks in the gym. But in these days, where four. six, eight and ten-round bouts have been the rule, the boys have al- most abandoned road work. But I look for revival of it. If there isn't, those gymnasium trained fighters who now will be asked to go fifteen rounds in New York and elsewhere will find themselves caving in after the tenth.
 ROADWORk NECESSARY
 Back in the old days, when men were developed to fight all day, if it
 
 largely through roadwork. At in the morning they were up and at 6:30 tkey were taking it on the run. Jaunts Of ten and twelve miles in the morn ing, and sometimes ten more in the aft ernoon, were common.
 When Tom Sharkey was training for fight, he'd often do twenty miles run n,ng, not jogging, with little George IIxon usually along. Oftentimes George would set the pace in the last five miles and the pair of them would come into the camp lickety split in the last mile or so
 There never was heavyweight vEo could travel farther and faster than Sharkey. Nor was there light man who could keep his speed for twenty rounds like Dixon. The reason for it was road work. It developed wonderful leg muscles. and they are vital for every fighter. The pugilist who hasn't got a great pair of legs never amounts to much.
 "Roadwork develops the wind and the chest, too, and the arms and the stom- ach muscles. There's nothing that tuilds up man so quickly, surely and Bcundly as roadwork.

Pel-Baron Game Sunday May Be
 Cancelled, Claim


 New Orleans. July 1.-(SpeciaD.-A. J.
 Heinemann. president of the New Or
 leans Baseball Club, said tonight that
 if the street car strike is not settled
 by Saturday or the cars running nearly
 to normal that the double-header sched-
 uled for Sunday. here between Birming-
 ham and New Orleans would be called off, since it would put the New Orleans team to a great expense to jump the Pels from Little Rock here and then jump them back to Baronville in time for Mondays games.
 The street car strike practically iso- lates the baseball park and it is known that hardly 1000 fans would attend the game without street cars and Birming-
 ham would get fifty-fifty split The game will be called off unless street car conditions improve.
 Tonight there seemed no chance of this as everyone was walking and both men and the street car company were obdurate.

in hard-tought bout of twelve rounds here tonight
 Wilson excelled in eight of the twelve rounds. Bartfield had the better of the second, seventh and twelfth rounds. while the third was even.
 Both men received hard body punish- ment. Wilson used his left effectively to Bartfield's stomach, but the soldier took his punishment gamely. Bartfield excelled in the in-fighting, but the cham pion shook him off and scored lefts to the head and stomach. Bartfield was fighting hard at the bell in the last round.
 Wilson weighed in at 157s4 pounds and Bartfield at t49i5
 The start of the bout was delayed un- til nearly midnight by the repeated att tempt of the management to reduce Will sons guarantee from s7,5o0 to s5.Ooo. An amicable adjustment was made before the men entered the ring.

AMERICAN TENNIS
 PAIR MEETS DEFEAT

Wimbledon, England, July IA real surprise was furnished the great crowd that gathered at the tennis courts today. for William M. Johnston, the American champion, and William T. Tilden, the finalist in the British single champion ships were beaten in the doubles by Charles s. Garland and R. Norris Will Hams.
 Williams soundly backed up Garland throughout the gruelling five sets. Gar lands play was by far the most brilliant for the four, his forehand driving being particularly effective. On the other hand, Johnston apparently has been unable to reach anything like form on the center court.
 The score at the end stood 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. AS, 6-2.
 Capt. Samuel Hardy of the American team is enthusiastic about Garland's per formance, while Tilden said he did not mind the defeat a bit.

Frank Herbst, young right handed pitcher. has been released by the Barons, according to an announceme ent yesterday afternoon by Billy West, business manager of the club.
 Herbst will be sent to the Brantford Ontaria club of the Ontario Michigan league. He leaves this afternoon.
 Meeker, young southpaw, signed up with the team yesterday. He will take Herbst's place on the staff Catcher Gooch, who has been on the ineligible list, will be reinstated at once.
 Still more offers to play in out-
 law leagues are being made to the
 Baron players. The latest Baron
 approached with an offer is Dutch
 Bernsen. first baseman. It is re-
 ported that Bernsen was offered
 $5O0 month to pray in m outlaw
 league. It is supposed that it is
 the Delta State league that is after
 the Baron player. It is said that
 Bernsen's offer vvas to manage the
 club which he was to join.
 The latest offer makes three in all to Baron players, each player being offered $500 a month. The three sought after are Glazner, Peters and Bernsen. Other Southern leaguers have been ap- preached.
 First Baseman Halt of Chattanooga and Joe Thorburn, Atlanta pitcher, jumped their teams yesterday to join outlaw organizations.
 The situation in the Southern is be- coming serious. to say the least. It is lucky thing for Birmingham S pennant prospects that the Baron players are proving to be loyal. Need less to say, Bernsen refused the of fer made him

but it's a hard grind. That's why
 us gone into the discard lately. Fight
 CTS dislike it as rule. Knowing they had to fight only twelve to twenty four
 minutes. they passed it up, figuring the gymnasium training was enough to get | them through a fight in good shap pc. Perhaps it is for those four, six, eight and ten rounders. But watch what hap pens when a gymnasium trained man tries to go fifteen or twenty rounds with one who has taken the road morn ing after morning.
 Many persons claim that Jess Will lard's crushing defeat in Toledo came about because he had failed to do road work of consequence. They claim that | Wlllard's leg muscles were soft and
 that his wind was no good. I don't know about that. But Hll say that from what 1 observed, Willard's defeat was due to the fact that he fought man with a punch powerful enough to pull vcrize concrete.
 T don't think the so-called weak ness of Willard's legs even if he hadn't trained on the road were good enough to last him a few rounds anyway. And Willard, as may be recalled, was a beaten fighter after the first minute of the opening round.
 WILLARD'S LEGS WEAK "If the fight had gone six or eight rounds, and it's true that Willard didn't do roadwork it would have been an absolute cinch for Dempsey. For by that time Willard's untrained legs would have gone back on him. they wouldn't have carried him out of Demp- sey's way and Dempsey would have run over him.
 "Dempseyi Oh, there's boy. big ger, most powerful Kid Mccoy; fast as a streak of lightning, miraculous puncher. the surest hitter in all ring hjstory-what fighter, what fighter. Dempsey trains more like the old timer than any heavyweight in twenty years. Jack is a crank on roadWork. That accounts for his superb condition. lie ran from eight to fifteen miles a day in training at Toledo. And ever since then that boy never has lost sight of the slogan, keep in shape Nearly every morning since last July he's gone out on the road for five miles at least. My advice to youngsters--a concrete suggestion after more than thirty years connection with the prize ring is, do road work, day after day, year after year; pass up everything else, II necessary to get that jaunt on the road into your daily training schedule.

The Barons did succeed in talk
 ing the first game from the Vols.
 When the ice is broken, the open ing contest slowed away and the star pitcher of the enemy disposed
 of the going seems sort of easier.
 There's one thing to he thankful
 for. we more than likely won't
 have to meet Shove Hodge again
 this series.
 Despite yesterdays victory, we are nc better off in the race, except in the percentage column, of course. The Travellers won also, thereby holding the Barons to few points lead. Ii Moleys men falter one instant, Kic Elberfeld's men stand ready to slide into first place at the earliest oppor- tunity.
 Glazner had them biting yesterday It was quite refreshing to see the way some of the Vols missed Whitey': shoots. Hodge was in good form him self. It was a beautiful pitchers battle between the two.
 Is Dutch Bernsen recovering his
 home-run batting eyes season or

 him lift the ball over the fence. It
 has not been this season, how
 ever. In the last two games,
 though. he has gotten two home
 runs. Perhaps he's going to hit his
 old stride again.
 Tommy Stevenson can't stay dowr out of the select 300 circle much longer if he continues to hit the ball at hi. present pace. He got three hits yester day. Lately he has been hitting a goo( deal better than 900. His seas sonis aver.

 burn, Atlanta. Charlie Franks pitching staff is fast dwindling away. He has
 only two or three dependable mounds men left now. Chattanooga can little afford to lose what playing assets she has. Halt was a mighty promising first baseman. It's q shame that he had to jump the team and join forces with l the outlaws.
