MINORS HOLD RECORD
Corsicana Team of Texas League, Hammered Out 53 Hits of All Varieties in Single Game.

Chicago, June 1.-The mark of | seven home runs in a recent game
 between the Philadelphia and Detroit Americans tied the major league | record for circuit drives in a single contest, but it didn't even come close to the worlds record.
 On July 14, 1902, Corsicana and Texarkana, in a Texas minor league, met in a regularly scheduled game which produced slugging records like ly to stand for many years. Nineteen home runs, dozen triples, ten doubles and almost a dozen singles were clouted out by the batters in this game. Corsicana won by a score of 51 to 3, and the winning team made 53 hits.
 Incidentally, "Nig'' Clarke, former ly the best backstop of the Cleve- land American league club claims to have established in this game the worlds record for home runs by an individual batSman. Clarke says that he drove out eight round the sacks hits in this game. Previous data credited Harry Wright of the Cincin- nati Reds with the record of seven homers in game in 1867. Modern records gave the honors to Robert Lowe of Boston, Dan Brouthers of Detroit and Ed Delehanty of Phila- delphia with four home runs apiece in one game. Seven home runs were made in a game between St. Louis and Detroit, June 12, 1886.
 The Philadelphia-Detro series pro- duced hitting that has never been rivalled in modern major league baseball. however, for the two teams made sixteen home runs in the four games.

BIG MEET OPENS TOMORROW
to Compete in Games at Chicago Look for Records.

Chicago, June 17.-The National Collegiate Athletic association track and field meet, with an entry list containing so many champions that the contests have been termed the American Olympics'' will begin to- morrow at Stagg field, University of Chicago, with elimination tryouts in the dashes and other events in which an unusually large number of en- tries have been made.
 The meet, said to be the first truly national event of its kind in this country and designed to become an annual feature, will furnish compe- tion largely of an individual nature. Individual stars who hold sectional, national or international records are entered and with the leaders of the country competing the sponsors of the contest look for worlds records if track and field conditions are fa- vorable.
 Nearly 100 colleges and universi- ties from every part of the country have sent the best men of their track teams. Numerous members of the American Olympic team are en- tered and world champions are in- cluded.
 From the east, Earl Thompson of Dartmouth, holder of the worlds record of 0:14 2-4 in the 120-yard hurdles. heads the list of champions. Thompson was a member of the Canadian Olympic team, being a ma tive of Canada. Yale, Amherst, Ro- chester, Pittsburgh. Bates, Wesleyan of Connecticut and other eastern schools are entered. The list of eastern entries was considerably cur tailed. however, through a conflict in dates with the Eastern Central Am ateur Athletic Union tryouts which are to be held Saturday.

SOUABBLE OVER REFEREE
Commissioner Doherty of New Jer- Sey Boxing Board Would Call on Fight If That Body Fails.

Hackensack, N. J., June 17.-At 8 dinner given to Charles J. Lyons of the New Jersey Boxing commission at Souther's Hotel, F'airview, last night, Commissioner Doherty made the statement that if the commission cannot have the privilege of naming the referee for the Dempsey-Carpen- tier fight in Jersey City July ? there will be no fight. He said that seri- ous situation had resulted because a certain party believes he should have the privilege of naming the referee.
 State Senator Alexander Simpson, who was one of those present, said that if the commission did not show backbone and stick up for it's rights in the matter and name the referee the next senate would repeal the box ing law in New Jersey.

RESUMES TRAINING
Dempsey Boxes With Lightweights in Order to Develop Speed-NIay Weigh Less Than 19O Pounds.

Atlantic City, June 17.-With Jack Dempsey back in his training grind today, development of his speed to match that of the crafty Georges Car pentier is the chief aim of his hand lers.
 Dempsey will be called upon to do more boxing with smaller and lighter sparring partners as he advances into the final two weeks of training and nauling with the hevyweights in camp will be gradually cut down.
 Dempsey started in on the program to increase his speed yesterday when he resumed boxing for the first time since his left eye was ripped open ten days ago. Instead of working with the heavyweights in camp, Dempsey boxed two rounds each with Babe Herman, a shifty hard hitting featherweight, and Irish Patsy Cline, a lightweight.
 Although Dempsey plans to enter the ring July weighing about 19O pounds, he may be lighter than this, Manager Kearns said, if the weather gets hot. The titleholder scaled 194 pounds yesterday. He has elimina ted rope skipping from his training pro gram.
