time than Dempsey did, announces
that he will add $4,000 of his own
money to Brother Mikes 5000 that
Mike stops Johnny Wilson in five
rounds, or lose that amount"
This $4,000 is indeed neat in
ducement for the middleweight cham.

FOR TRANSFERRING
BIG FIGHT FILMS
But Judge critisises Law After
Imposing $1,000 Sentence
On Star Promoter.

NEW YORK. July 2S.-Tex Rick
ard. boxing promoter. and Frederick
C. Quimby, motion-picture exhibitor,
pleaded guilty before Federal Judge
William b. Sheppard to charges of
violating the interstate commerce
law through the transportation across
the State line from New Jersey of
the Dempsey Carpenter fight pictures,
and were fined 81 900 each.
In imposing sentence Judge Shep-
hard critized the law, which. he said.
was enacted in 1912 to meet a pc
culiar situation.
"while 1t is probably constitu-
tional," he said, at looks to me like
an unnecessary interference by Con-
gress with the police regulations of
the State which allow such encoun-
ters. From the caste Of the audience
that attended the exhibition at Ter
sew City, IL was a gathering of peo-
pie of refined tastes"
The pictures were shown to wound
ed soldiers at hospital on Staten
Island after being brought from New
Jersey. An advertised exhibition at
a theater was cancelled when United
States Attorney Hayward began an
investigation. Nothing developed in
the court proceedings to indicate
whether the pictures can be shown
legally i'm this State. 1t is said that
the sole offehse was I'm transporting
the pictures from New Jersey and
not in exhibiting them.

Wilson would not go in the ring

referee took over thirteen seconds in

Johnny to resume fighting. Downey

The spectators thought the fight
was stopped because Downey had

Goking Championship
May Go Far South
AS Atlanta

Two national golf championships
have now gone to Washington, the
furthermost South that the coun-
try-wide affair has ever been
carried, but it is certain it will not
be long before Atlanta is chosen
as a battle-ground, transplanting
the chief contests into the heart OF
the South.
The increasing prominence OF
Bobby Jones, Nelson Whitney and
Perry Adair among the Dixieites
settles that point. This year. for
the first time, the national ANA
teur goes beyond the Mississippi
River, if only by few miles, and
the breaking down Of the Western
barrier will operate just the same
way below Mason and Dixon's line.

The combined Oxford Cambridge

get another, hard test here today In
competition against the athletes OF
Cornell and Princeton. The chances
of British victory in today's meet
were discounted by the acknowledged
fact that the Princeton-Cornell team is

aggregation which defeated the visit
ing athletes eight points to two last
Saturday.
The feature event of today's pro
