FRED WRIGHT, LAST OF AMERICAN GOLFERS NV
 BRITISH MEET, LOSES

sportsmanship were greatly admired by the English spectators. This was attested by the frequent bursts of ap- plause he received during the match and the favorable comment indulged in by the spectators. The most com mon adverse criticism of Wright's style by the golfers in the gallery was on his habit of pulling his shots. This fault was particularly injurious to the American player in todays wind.
 WRIGHT TAKES LEAD /
 Precise and careful on every stroke Wright succeeded in taking the lead against Darwin and maintaining 1t to the sixteenth green, where the match was squared. The Englishman then took the seventeenth, but lost the eigh- teenth, necessitating an extra hole. This Darwin took and won the match
 During the play between Wright and Darwin, the silence of the crowd of several thousand spectators and the breathless suspense during the putting on the various greens was inn pressive.
 The feature of todays discussion among the golfers was on the decision by the Royal and Ancient Golf club rules committee to bar the ribbed or slotted clubs now used by American golfers. The ban, however, will not be put in operation this year.
 American visitors and players were less numerous about the links during today's play. A few of the American golfers. however. took part in pleasure matches. Francis Ouimet and Bobby Jones played in foursome with c. j. Castel, of Chantilly. France, and Cap tain Webster. of New Zealand. The result was a win for Jones and Web ster by 2 up and l to play.

GREENVILLE METHODISTS
 DEFEAT BAPTIST OUTFIT

Greenville May 26.--(Special. )-The fast team of the Young Mems Bible class of the local Methodist church de- feated theF Baraca class of the Bap- tist Sunday school in one sided con test yesterday afternoon to the tune of l4 to 2.
 The Baptists lost the game in the first inning, when series of errors were pulled off that netted the grand total of seven runs. The Baptists seemed to lose hope and from then on the Methodists had easy sailing until seven more runs were piled ap. The baptists have not given up and they will return to the field next Wednes- day and endeavor to cop the last of the series.
 Riley pitched a good game and be- fore the close of the contest had struck out IA men. Dunklin, who pitched for the Baptists, pitched good ball, but the size of the score shows that he got ragged support: Score:

s MEET LOOKOUTS HERE TODA y
DEMPSEY INDUCES
 IN HARD WORKOUT

Atlantic City. N. J., May 26.-Jack Dempsey boxed for the first time in his open air arena today. The cham. pion. after his enforced idleness of 24 hours, increased his boxing to eight rounds, the most work he has done with the gloves since he started train ing here a week ago last Monday. A crowd of 1000 spectators, which in- cluded between 800 and 400 women. watched the workout.
 After shadow boxing for five min- utes, Dempsey boxed two rounds each with Jack Renault. Larry Williams, Alex Trambeis and Joe Benjamin. the Pacific coast lightweight who joined ths champions training staff yester~ day, winding up his workout with some bending. exercises.
 Dempsey lacked his usual speed in his first two rounds with Renault, but when he faced Williams he was hitting viciously. Just before the first round with Williams ended, the champion caught him with a rasping left-hook, OF ening up cut over the right eye. Dempsey slowed up for the second round, giving Williams chance to whale away at top speed
 The four rounds which Dempsey boxed with Trambies and Benjamin were tame. as he did not attempt any solid, hard hitting. Benjamin missed the champion so frequently with left and right swings that he was exhaust ed at the finish.
 JACKS MEASUREMENTS
 Dempsey was measured today, and the following figures were given out: Height, 6 feet 1 inch; neck, 16k inches; chest normal, 42 inches; ex- banded, 4s inches; reach, "A inchess waist, 33 inches; thigh, 2S inches; calf, 15A inches; ankle, inches; biceps, |16A inches; forearm, 14K inches; wrist 9H inches.
 Martin Burke, New Orleans heavy weight reported at the camp, but prob> ably will not get a chance to work with the champion until Saturday, as a damaged ear. on which an operation was performed, is not entirely healed.

Hoylake, May 26.--The British anna teur golf championship is to remain at home for at least another year.
 British players having disposed of the last man of the strong American contingent who came across the seas in an endeavor to take back the title to the United States, an Englishman will retain the emblem and the pres tige which the winning of 1t carries.
 Either Allan Graham of the Royal Liverpool club, over the links of which the contest is being played. or W. I. Hunter, of Walmer and Kings down, will be the new champion, hav- ing fought their way through the semi final round this afternoon.
 Frederick J. Wright of Boston. the last surviving member of the Ameri- can team, succumbed to Bernard Dar- win. This match, most brilliant of the series, went to the nineteenth hole, where the Englishman won by a stroke.
 By the defeat of Wright, Darwin worked his way into the semi finals only to be defeated by Hunter, up and to play. Graham's right to com pete In the final came through his vanquishin.y H. $. B. Tubbs, Stunning dale, by one hole.

ST. BERNARD CLAIMS
 STATE PREP TITLE

St. Bernard, May 28-(Specia1 )-The "Saints'' of St. Bernard, and the Tn dians.' of Bessemer. split 50-50 in the double header played on the local grounds Wednesday afternoon. The vis- itors won the first game by the score of s-6, while the locals annexed the sec- ond contest 5-1.
 In the first game the Indians solved the delivery of "Runt' Reilly, the local slab artist, in the second in- ming, when a hit batsman, an error and four hits. one two bagger, netted them seven runs. Fireman, of the visitors, held the collegians safe for the entire contest
 In the second game, Bonner, for St. Bernard, held the Bessemer boys com rletely at his mercy. and was ably as- sisted by the gilt-edge support of his team mates. Meehan, of the Saints and J. Johnston, of the Indians" both secured hits of the Babe Ruth variety, but the latter falling to touch third base was called out by the umpire. The lat ter's drive was easily the longest hit seen on the college campus this year.
 The St. Bernard boys are very much elated over the success of their team this season, and are laying claim to the prep ScnoOl cnamplOnSn1p or the state. Twenty out of 26 games played this sea- son have been annexed as victories; 4 of these were won from high schools of Alabama and Tennessee They are very anxious to meet any team in their class, either of. the high school or the prep school division, who wish to con- test their claim and thus decide the chamionship.

few good pitchers the Lookouts have, may start for Nicklin this afternoon. When George is right, his work usually offsets any lack of base hits or abundance of errors charged to his teammates
 LOOKOUTS IN CELLAR
 The Lookouts are back in the cellar, the position on which they secured a strangle hold last season, never rs- linquishing their position. However, tEe Lookouts have been playing good ball this season and with any kind of a square deal in the breaks would probably be ranking haigher than they are now.
 The fact that the 'Noogans have failed to win single start from the Earons this season would indicate that Moley's men have their Tennessee neighbors thoroughly jinxed.
 Today's game will begin at 3:So o'clock, the usual starting time for single encounters.

Some more thievery on the bases, |plus ultra daring head work, enabled |tbe Barons to beat the Lookouts, to Is, yesterday. Karl Eberhard, who |started the game for the Barons, found the going rough along toward the l close of the contest and Whitehill was sent to the relief. The four runs scored early in the contest by the Barons proved enough to win, however, and Eberhard saved the victory.
