The boys are dropping the ball into the cup in one stroke all over the country. One New Yorker has three of these freak shots to his credit. stephen Roberts, of the Dunwoodie Country Club, When they begin to come along as frequently as this, the feat ceases to impress.

With all the money there is be hind the many fine golf clubs of which the Pacific coast boasts. 1t seems little odd that no concert ed effort is made to offer a purse which would attract the big fry to this rim of the continent. With "get together" movement in this direction. there should be no diff culty in annually arranging for a big purse for a big golf event that. in time, would become classic and attract golfers from all over the world It looks like a neglected op- portunity annually to place before the world the fact that this coast furn- ishes an ideal all-round year section in which to play the great game.
 The Gibbons Carpenter match. to all intent and purpose is quite as much a settled event on the sport calendar as it can be without any of the formalities being gone through. Rickard is in favor of the match and has announced his willingness to put 1t on. That ought to be quite enough to satisfy ring followers that the meeting will be staged.
 
 The state of New Jersey is the first to come out flat footed and say that the negro Jack Johsnson, re- gently a jail bird, will not be al lowed to participate in ring battle within its precincts. Rickard has said he will have nothing to do with the former Galveston . roustabout. Johnson has forfeited all rights to again enter the prize ring In this country. much less be allowed to en- ter It against a white man. There is no doubt that a Wills-Johnson bout, both men being colored, would result in a good battle, but the U. $. A. is no place in which to stage it.
 When one post of the American Legion wants to get up a purse of s250,O00 to offer to any member of the American Expeditionary force who succeeds in licking Dempsey and another wants him to fight as a benfit to help finance one of It's pet schemes. the ordinary outsider begins to wonder just where the le- zion stands in connection with the fighter. To wish him defeat before his battle with Carpentier and then to ask his services to raise money,

Just what Dempsey expects to gain by his statement that certain hostile persons were in his corner during the big fight in order to throw in a sponge does not appear at the moment IL looks like cheap claptrap. Somebody might have had a machine gun mounted on the rim of the arena and trained on Dempsey but as long as he didn't let go. what's the odds?

SPORTING NOTES OF THE WORLD
(Pacific Sports Service)


 SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 9. - The negro, Jack Johnson, states that the people are anxious to see Jack Demp- sey whipped. and that he, Johnson, is the man who can turn the trick. In view of the fact that poor old Jim Jeffries was dragged out of long retirement in an endeavor to take the crown from the negro because the public revolted against him. hardly permits of Johnson as a candidate to wrest the title from Dempsey. Dempsey is unpopular enough in all conscience, but nobody would prefer to see the negro back in that place. That would be the last straw, and the curtain would surely come down on the boxing game What a morscl for the re. formers and blue law advocates!
