Odd Golf Competition
Played by Seattle
Women

There is no game in the world
which lends itself to so much
variety in competition as golf,
and a number of women play
er at the Seattle Golf Club have
added just one more novelty to
these already in order. Condi-
tions call for teams of five to
play against one another, with a
captain over each.
Each member of a lineup will
be given the name of club
such as, for instance, Miss Bras
sic, Miss Midiron, Miss Putter
and so on, with the captain as
Miss Driver. Only one ball will
be used, the captain naming
which club is to be utilized at
each lie. The team returning the
lowest gross score shall be de-
clared the winner, and each mem-
Der of the victorious combination
will receive one new rubber core,
to be paid for by the correspond
ing member of the losing team.

EQUAL MARK
WITH SEVEN HOME RUNS

The Athletics, by polling seven home
runs while the Tigers. in the same
contest, got one, equaled record
that has stood in the. majors since
June II. 1885. when the Detroit Ma
tionals combed seven homers and the
st. Louis Nationals in the same game
got one.
Detroits homers were as follows:
Sam Thompson and Jack Rowe, two
apiece, while Sam Newhall Crane, the
famous baseball writer of today, Dan
Brouthers and Charley Bennett each
hit one, and Jerry Denny shared one
for ST. Louis. Detroit secured her
homers off Pitcher Sweeney.
The record for the most home runs
in game by two clubs Is Jointly
held by the Chicago and Cincinnati
clubs, these WORTHLESS in the second
game of the double header staged
July 4. 1895, garnerinE nine round
trippers. the game going only six and
one-haf innings. Chicago got Ave
home runs while Cincinnati smashed
out four.

MEN ARE
NOT WAGERING ON
COMING CONTEST
Jack Doyle Believes $4,000
Would Cover All Money
Put on Big Bout.

NEW YORK. June 13.-Considering
the Importance of the bout, the Demp-
sey Carpenter contest has drawn out
less money In wagers than any other
championship contest. Two hemi-
spheres are watching tho battlers and
talking of little else. Many are to
be found of the opinion that Carpen-
tier viii win. But there is little
betting on the result.
John Doyle, who Is a barometer on
such matters, is inclined to think that
the bout will never reach the amount
In dollars that was risked on tho JEFF
ries-Johnson fight and the meeting
between Dempsey and Tess willard at
Toledo, two years ago, when Jack
ascended the heavyweight throne.
Fifty thousand dollars, / believe, Is
an outside estimate at this time said
Doyle. "This bout does not begin to
compare with the Jeffries-Johnson
and Dempsey Willard affairs at a cor
responding time In advance of those
meetings.
"The Dempsey willard bout was un-
doubtedly one of the biggest betting
propositions in the history OF sport.
believe that at least 100000 must
have changed hands on the result of
that scrap. I guess II would be safe
to say that 81 100000 was wagered
on the Jefrries-Johnson affair.
There was not so much betting on
the meeting between Willard and
Johnson at Havana. but the money
placed was much more than has yet
shown on the coming fight. There
must have been 100000 up when
Willard defeated johnson and won
the heavyweight championship."

Moses Yeuowhorse Is
Big Favorite
With Fans

Moses Yellowhorse, Indian
pitcher on the roster of the Pi-
rates, has appeared in, only a few
games SO far, yet he is one of
the most popular members of the
team with the fans in the Smoky
City. The Indian is a rugged,
bullnecked young man and accord.
ing to those who have seen him
in action is a very good pitcher
in the making. Every time a
Pirate pitcher is knocked out of
the box at Forbes Field the fans
clamor for Yellowhorse, and even
when a member of the infeld or
outfeld is disabled and withdrawn
or there is occasion to use a pinch
hitter, there is a cry from the
crowd for the Redskin. Yellow
horse, incidentally, is one of the
few survivors of the Pawnee tribe,
and at one time appeared with a
circus.

DEMPSEY'S LIFE STORY
BY DAMON RUNYON

Would you know the real in
side story of the worlds cham
pion? Then you must read it
as told Interestingly by that
master sports writer, Damon
Runyon. 1t will appear in these
columns, beginning today.
No man is better equipped
for telling this story than Run
yon, a fellow Coloradan with
Dempsey. Runyon has been es-
pecially intimate with Demp-
sey since he came into the lime
light, and his sympathetic story
is quite the best obtainable.
The Washington Times will
offer Damon Runyon's story
daily. 1t cannot but make
friends for Dempsey, for Run
yon and for The Washington
Times. That's the kind of story
it is.

Aside from the wounded eye Demp-
sey is in great condition and the
fact that he has reached very fine
point of physical perfection is be-
lieved to have as much to do with the
halt In his training as anything else.
DEMPSEY UNDER WEIGHT.
Manager Kearns neglected to give
a specific reason for his action in
closing UP Airport but those who
watched Dempsey in action Sunday
before a crowd of nearly two thou
sand were keenly impressed with his
appearance. Dempsey looks to be
very finely drawn. He Is brown as
a berry and has lost the plumpness
about his jowls. The hard work he
has been doing under the hot sun
has caused him to lose poundage and
according TO his trainer. Teddy Hayes,
he is but six pounds over the weight
He expects to carry into the ring for
Carpenter July 2-190 pounds. This
means that he has taken off In the
neiehborhood of nine pounds.
Old timers who have watched
Dempsey for the last few days are
unanimous In the belief that Manager
Kearns has a very good reason Tor
calling the champion of. he Is
READY, aSfue MS ihJui iVu cs - -
baps, to enter the ring today and with
more than two weeks remaining be-
fore the big fight comes of, COM
plets rest will DO him more good than
anything else.
TAKES HORSEBACK RIDE.
Dempsey substituted a horseback
ride for his usual jaunt on the road
sunday. He went out riding with
Mayor Ed Bn6er. In the afternoon
he staged his usual routine for the
crowd that gathered at Airport,
punching the bag, shadow boxing and
mauling the sixty-pound bag for
period of twenty-seven minutes.
When he finished he was covered with
perspiration, but did not draw
heavy breath, proving that his wind
is perfect. The layoff he Will take
today and perhaps tomorrow Will give
him an opportunity to take on several
pounds, but he will easily work this
poundage OFF, as the weather here Is
retting hotter day by day.

williams and Battling Ghee, the Mem
phis colored heavyweight, make up the
champions' sparring quartet at
present. When he resumes boxing
