I'm Easy Final Game
British Title-Holder Wins
4 Up and 3 to Play From
Miss Joyce Wethered
Special Cable to The Tribun.

TURNBERRY. June 3.-Miss Cecil
Leltch. was recrowned the woman's
champion of Great Britain after her
victory over Miss Joyce Wethered in
the final round of the champion
over the 36-hole course here today.
MISS Leltch won, a up and to play.
Miss Wethered, one of the few
English stars with victory over the
champion to her credit, was expected
to give Miss Leitch hard tussie and
possibly beat her, but Miss Wethere d
was so completely off her game she was
down at the end of the morning
round.
This final was not unlike the Hoy
lake match wherein Hunter made
Graham look like a novice. A large
gallery, including many Americans, fol-
lowed the match. There was nothing
oventful for the first nine holes, which h
Miss Leitch did in al, as against "A
for Miss Wethered.
After the turn everything broke
beautifully for Miss Leitch and she
made few mistakes. She played the
eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth per
fectly, while Miss Wehered was often
in difficulty. The champions approx
mate score was 80 to SO for her op-
ponent.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June g.
After four-day lay-off Jack Dempsey
will resume training at his open air
arena tomorrow with the prospects
that he will continue to work daily
without further interruption until he
finishes conditioning himself for the
defense of the worlds heavyweight
championship against Georges Car
pentier at Jersey City July 2.
As a result of his idleness Dempsey
is eager to swing back into the train

are prepared for a gruelling session
tomorrow. Martin Burke, the New
Orleans heavyweight, will work with
the champion for the first time since
Dempsey started training.
Dempsey spent the final day of his
vacation summing himself on the front
porch of his house and playing cards
In the afternoon he could not resist
the temptation to play a game of base
ball against q team of theatrical stars
and promised Manager Jack Kearns
that he would run bases in a less
reckless manner than he did yester-
day.
Kearns consented to his playing
after issuing orders that Dempsey
could not do any more pitching or
daring base running. Jack played third

Field Of Nine
Starts To-day
I'm Suburban
Audacious and Exterminasor
the F'avorites: Captain AL
cock Breaks Track Record
By W. |. Macbeth

The Suburban Handicap, one Of the
oldest and most highly priced of the
metropolitan season, will be contested
at Belmont Park this afternoon by one
of the ciassiest fields that has been
seen so far this season and one of the
best the great stake has attracted in
many years.
The Suburban Handicap is a test for
three-yearolds and upward over a mile
and quarter of ground. Nine of the
best handicap horses in training here
about have been named over night for
the thirty-ffth running of this popular
test. The Suburban was first run III
1884 and for years afterward as the
opening day feature of the spring
meeting of the Coney Island Jockey
Club.
The race, which has always been one
of the richest in sentiment, has not
been so rich as some of the other big
stakes in the mere matter of prize
money. The first Suburban was worth
$4,945 to the winner, General Monroe,
and has f1uctuated above that mark
ever since the maximum, being $l7,750
both in 1892 and 1898.
This year, provided all nine start,
the winner will draw down $500, a
prize we'll worth striving for aside
from the prestige of the affair. 1t is
safe to presume that if the weather
remains fair all nine will go to the
post, for Handicapped Vosburgh has
adjusted the weights in a manner to
bring the high class field well together.
Audacious Is Favorite
In all likelihod the Foreign Stables
Audacious, which recently improved
upon the great Man o. Wars record for
a mile, will be the favorite in to-day's
Suburban field, even though his recent
victory over Eternal accrued a five
pounds penalty to him and gives him
the somewhat pretentious burden of
120 pounds. The Rancocas Stables
Mad Halter is another that is bound
to command respect, though he is sad
died with 1870 pounds.
Willis Sharpe Kilmer's reliable old
Exterminator is top weight at 1873
pounds. Yet he has been racing better
this year than ever and the long route
suits him best. Donnacona, Sennngs
Park, Paul Jones, Yellow Hand, La
Rablee and DR.. Clark all have a pull
in the weights, and any one of them
may cause trouble and plenty of it.
The Suburban Handicap to-day will
be run over the new course. or the
American way, and consequently the
finish will be at the judges stand and
not at the special finish for chute races
as formerly. The new chute at the
far turn coming from the old training
track has been completed to give the
distance necessary.

Rivals Easily Win Semi
Final Round Matches in
Orange Club Tournament
By Fred Hawthorne

Ichiya Kumagae. North and South
and Old Dominion champion, viii meet
Vincent Richards. national junior
champion. in the final round of the
annual invitation tournament Of tho
Orange Lawn Tennis Club at Mountain
Station. n J., tomorrow afternoon at
3 o'clock
Kumagae gained his final round
bracket yesterday by defeating Ludlow
Fanderventer at 60, 6-1, while Rich
ards vanquished Frederick c. Anderson
by a score OF Sd. 6-3, Ia the semi
final round. This means that Kumagae
will have his opportunity for revenge
when he faces Richards, who defeated
him in the sen1i-fnal round of the
Eastern New York State championship
tournament at Yonkers- early IN the
week
The little Japanese appeared in bet
ter playing condition yesterday than
was the case in the Ionkers engage
ment, and ne made short work of Van
deYenter, overwhelming the New Jer-
sey player by sheer speed and pace
Vanderventer is a tournament player of
skill and experience, ye he stood no
chance against the brand of tennis
Kumagae uncovered.
Steady Game by Japanese
The North and South champion sent
his forehand drives ripping through
the opposing court so close to the lines
and with such dizzy speed that Wander
venter was frequently unable to even
get his racquet on the ball. When ne
had made sure of his openings the
little Japanese closed in at the net
position and smashed or volleyed for
the finishing shots.
Richards was up against a more diff
cult proposition in the person of the
tall Anderson, the man who hum5led
him in the national indoor tournament
Last winter. Anderson is improving
steadily, showing more speed and in
clination in forcing the net position
than he did last season. The conse-
qCence was that Richards found some
trouble in working his man out Of posi-
tion and forcing him back from the
net.
This afternoon there will be two
special exhibition matches on the turf
courts. At 3 o'clock Watson II. Wash
burn and Dean Mathey, New York
State champion, will meet in a singles
match, and following that event, Wash
burn and Mathey will play Holcombe
Ward, former national singles and
doubles champion, and Stuart Young,
Of Seabright, IN a doubles match.

Clips Milkmaid's Record

The Quincy Stable came into it's own
yesterday afternoon and Sunny jim"
Fitzsimmons saddled couple of win

son of Ogden and Mallard, not only won
the feature event, the Garden City
Handicap, at mile and a sixteenth, but
he set new track record to boot.
Captain Alcock, cleverly ridden by
Mooney, avoided the early pace, came
around the field on the stretch turn
and Won handily.
He raced the mile and sixteenth in
AS 1-5, clipping three-hfth of second
off Milkmaid's record of September 8
last. j. E. Wideners Naturalist, the
odds-on choice for this event showed
lot of early speed, but quit badly,
as usual, after seven furlongs.
Miss Petite, also of the Quincy
Stable, beat a cheap lot in the fifth
race at mile. This was a race for
apprentices who had never ridden
