Ralco Captures
$500 Harlem
Selling Stakes
salrnon's superwonan Sec.
ond, 2 Lengths Back; Bud
Fishers VioEiniss Wins.
By w. !. Macbeth

Ralco, the Islip Stables odds on
choice in the Harlem Selling Stakes,
cantered to the easiest imaginable vic
tory at the beautiful Belmont Park
track yesterday afternoon. The event
was for three-year and upward at
mile. Ralco was we'll ridden by
frankie Keough. and at the end was
simply buck jumping to win. w. J.
Salmon's Superwoman was second, with
l.. T. Bauer's Biff Bang third and the
rest Of the field strung out in Indian
file.
Ralco, entered for $500. was bid up
to s5,400 by Wood Garth. Clarence
Buxton boosted the bid to $500. The
stable added the customary So and re-
tanned the colt.
Salmon's Superwoman displayed her
customary brilliant speed. stepped out
INTO the front shortly after the start
and showed the way to the stretch
turn. At this point Keough brought
Ralco up and, taking the lead, raced
down Superwoman in the stretch, to
win by two lengths.
Biff Bang was off we'll enough, but
was outruH JHfougn the first half-mile
and although he closed stoutly through
the stretch had all he could to do beat
out Devil Dog for the show money.
Bud Fisher, who has had an un-
usually tough break in racing luck dur
ing the Belmont session, scored a
notable triumph in the fifth race. This
was a five-farlong dash through the
straight chute for two-year- olds.
This race was one of the most agra
vatingly open betting propositions OF
the season. The clockers had Lally
and they had Apex. All three Of
them sure winners. The layrnan threw
his money in recklessly on one of these
three without regard to circumstances
The race meant nothing whatever.
Lally, on the rail- bolted across the
track and was soon lost in the shuttle
This good colt was running strong al
the finish, but too late to get into the
pictures. Bud Fisher, who had de-
clared to win with VioIinist. had the
right dope, for Violinist possessed
twice the speed of Overtake.
Violinist, which ran straight as ar
arrow through the chute, had little te
do but buggy-Tide in when it was al
finished. Mawrcoron followed the pace
closely and held on we'll through the
final drive through the last sixteenth
Apex, away none too well, ran a gooc
race.

Dempsey Takes
Rest, Blocking
Beach Traffic
Champion Hikes 10 Miles OH
Boardwalk; Keeps Cops
Busy Shooting Crowds
BY lack Lawrence

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 49,
Jack Dempsey did nothing to-day but
block traffic on the throng-swept Board
walk that bordered a sun-swept sea.
1t was glorious day in which to live
and forget.
Jack Dempsey did just that to-day.
He meandered up and down the Board
walk and blocked all north and south
bound traffic. He said to the writer
that he wanted to be one Of the bunch
for a while, and in this he eminently
succeeded.
No small boy from the lower East
or West sides of New York ever en-
joyed day off more than Jack Denp-
sey did the brief vacation that was al
lotted to him His chest swelled under
it and he walked the timbered trail
along the oceans edge as though he
had not care in the world.
Dempsey's injured optic, which origi-
nally was mean and raw slash over
the port eye, is not nearly SO bad as
has been reported. 1t will be healed
completely in day or two. and those
who see the big fight on July will
have some difficulty in discerning evil
dences of it.
Takes Ten-Mile Walk
The champions trainers said to-day
that he was resting on this account.
They said he would not return to the
vigorous and hard business OF train
ing until Friday.
Dempsey said he was ready to begin
the really intensive period of training
tomorrow, and in saying this he was
speaking on his own hook, as it were,
and not through his trainers.
The big black haired, eagle eyed
the planks bordering the ocean. In a
long walk with Kearns and Teddy Hayes
some ten miles were covered at an
easy slouch. 1t was soft for Dempsey,
Kearns g. Co., but it was decidedly
tough on the Atlantic City police, whose
duties it is to regulate traffic.
Elderly ladies, who have come here
for rest and who never heard Of
either Jack Dempsey or Georges Car
pentier, could not understand why
their motorized or negro-pushed chairs
were held up in Niagara of humanity.
They protested. and when obliging
citizens told them that the cause Of
the eruption was just "Jack," they
grew even more peevish.
Jack Is DisgruntIed
Dempsey wandered north In the early
hours of the day to the section of this
blissful island which is given over to
flying machines. He looked over all
types and received not more than $50
invitations to go aloft.
Did Jack accept?
He did
Did he fly?
He did not.
Jack Kearns, with trained and dis
criminatory eye, said that Jack must
remain on the ground and Jack did, al
though lie appeared to be exceedingly
disgruntled as he wandered back to
the southwark and demanded that he
BE- permitted to take dip in the sad
sea waves. This also was denied by
kearns, who announced unfeelingly,
and right before million, more or
less, admirers Of the softer sex, that
Jack was going right home to bed.
Dempsey turned in quietly at 8
O'clock, with warning to his trainers
that he was going to pull lot of
rough stuff tomorrow.
Whether this refers to another walk
along the Boardwalk, where thousand
"oueens" are waiting to make him
their king, or session with the sand
bag, which Kearns says is his best
opponent, remains to be seen,

It took K. O. Joe Daley only two min
utes to stop Soldier Johnny McGraw
in the scheduled twelve round final
bout at the Brighton Beach S. C. last
night. McGraw could offer no re-
sistance to the swings of Daley, and
took the count after two minutes of the
first round. The other twelve-rou1der

Kid failed to appear for his bout with
Johnny Solsberg.

! would Ike to tell you that Mrs.
Whitney then and there modelled a
iifelke statue of Carpenter in action
and presented ii to NJ. Francois Des-
champs, Georges bubblng manager,
accompanied by little speech, to the
effect that she hoped the statue would
serve SIS god luck talisman In the
French hero's battle with the ferocious
Dempsey.
That would make a pretty story, and
it might easily have happened, for
Mrs. Whitney is sculptress and there
is clay st Manhasset. But as a matter
81 fact Mrs. Whitney just sat on the
grass near the outdoor ring and
watched Carpenter go through his
workout, and after Georges had fin
ished and trotted off to the Matthews
farmhouse for his rundown, Mrs. Whit
ney and some friends who had accom-
panied her stepped into a sedan at the
entrance gate and motored away.
Town Ccnstables Busy
There was a crowd of perhaps $50
persons present when Carpenter be-
gan his afternoons work. There would
have been g great deal more, but sew
eral motorcycle policemen and Man
hasset ''constabules" only admitted
those with certified credentials. Miss
Frohman. 3 sister to Daniel and the
late Charles Frohman, was one of the
visitors. She had brought along sew
eral wounded soldiers, invited by Car
pentier, and before and after his work
in the ring the French boy chatted
with the boys who had helped crush
the Hun in the days Of the great war.
There was nothing startling about
the French fighters work with his
sparring partners yesterday. Punches
were pulled, both by Georges and by
his partners, and once, when Dsmp-
sey's challenger let go vicious dig
TO big Paul Journee's ribs as they were
at ring center and Journee grunted i'll
protest, Carpenter exclaimed, I'm
sorry" in excellent polished English,
until his partner had got his wind
back.
Marcel Denis, French lightweight
imported for the occasion, was the first
vis-a-vis selected for the ring bout.
He went ore three minute round with
Carpenter Georges wore q heavy
rubber band about his right arm. just
above the blceps. 1t was explained
that the Frenchman had suffered from
a rope-burn while sparring last week
and that the band was worn for pro-

muscles lie was extremely careful

that Iournee had no trouble in landing

Ladies Like Georges
Work on the weight machines, floor
exercises and shadow boxing and bag
punching completed the fighters pro-
gram. Jack Curley, one of the few be-
lievers in a Carpenter victory on
July 2, watched the French champion
closely during his sparring, and after
ward he declared he had not changed
his opinion.
Georges is a strong favorite with the
ladies, all of whom believe that he will
defeat Dempsey in the "battle Of the
century" 1t Is possible that this feel
ing is strongly blended with sentiment
Or is it woman's intuition? Only yes
terday we received letter from thir-
teen-year-old niece, in which she
wrote:
Il am writing to you for a special
reason, and that is: Who are you for in
the Carpenter and Dempsey fight? I
am for Carpenter, and 1 hope you are,
too! l hope Dempsey gets his eye
knocked out. Aren't you excited about
1t? ! ami"
The same general sentiment was evil
dent about the Carpenter camp yester-
day. Some of the feminine fans want
Georges to win because "he's so blond
and good looking" or because she has
such wonderful eyes" but mostly be-
cause "he was so brave in the war;

WOOL BY BOAT TO
BOSTON
Sheepnen to Save Freight ON Fleece
Shipments East

Emmett sheepmen will ship Their
wool this year to Portland and thence
by boat to Boston and other Eastern
markets. Shearing has already COM
menced and it is estimated that be-
tween. Is and so carloads will leave
Idaho this month for Portland Some
of it will be stored there awaiting
a more favorable market, and some
will go to Boston
Storage charges on wool in Port
land, it is said, can be secured for
cents per sack a month while in Bos-
ton a charge of 25 cents is made,
while q low rate of interest is also
obtainable as against much higher
rate IN the east, and with such con-
ditions woolgrowers state they are
in q position to handle their clips
while awaiting better conditions.
The talk of large woolen manufac-
turing plant to be located somewhere
in the northwest, has also probably had
something to do with the wool grow
.ers taking the action Of shipping to
Portland and placing their clip in
storage there, although if they ship
from that city east they will make
big saving over shipping to Boston
by rail as they have in the past
