 New York, June 2d.-Disquieting news from London. The little group of men in England who have been carrying on the ballyhoo for a return Dempsey Carpenter fight in some London stadium have laid off their glad cries. f{s
 This was chiefly because tho four promoters came to relize that the quartet was singing alone. There was no chorus effect. It made them feel a bit ridiculous, particularly so as the British sporting public, far from being won to the idea of another Dempsey Carpenter fiKht--which was Jacks principal purpose in golrg abroad---went just the other way when they lnmped tho champion and saw what strong, clean cut, intellf- English conception of him and proved to be a sort of Joe Beckett, the idea of his fighting the Frenchman again might have gone biz.
 Dempsey Scored Hit
 But as 1t was, they saw a young man who in his way had as appeal Ing a personality as Carpenter. man who convinced all that he is the sort of big fellow who fights with his brains as well as with his fists. Harry Dime. the western sporting man, out lines very clearly in letter today, the attitude of the British.
 They feel he writes, that if the first championship battle had resulted in close contest, the result being ., draw, or with Dempsey coming through by very narrow margin. then the boxing public on the other side would have been very much in-

Course Personality

There are various opinions as to what constitute golfs finest shot. I have mine, you perhaps have yours. But what, do you think. constitutes tho finest quality of course?
 The answer. in my opinion. is per sonality.
 Courses can have personality. Golf architects in these days strive to build more personality into the courses. For instance. I played a course just the other day. where at each tee one of those great, striped sun shades had been placed. This cost the club very little. but the eff foot was wonderful It beautified tho entire course. Other courses have other ways of attaining simi- lar results.
 The first personality course in America, I think, was the Pine Val ley links at Philadelphia. In my own opinion this course still stands as America's finest golf plant It has something different at every turn of your head. Your shots on this course are utterly different from anything else in America.
 George A. Crump, who died in 1918. loved golf for It's own sake, and he loved the good shots of the game. More than most men. however, he realized that the making good shots must be encouraged by good courses, Mir. Crump's ideas led to the building of course that will always be a monument to him
 Individuality of Course
 The Pine Valley course to a great or degree than any course I have over seen possesses individuality. Everywhere this Individuality was shown, nowhere more than on the greens. but MT. Crump worked con Btantiy on the whole landscape gar den as If 1t were q picture, adding the needed touch here and there with the patience of an artist. It was pleasant to see the vari-colored bushes that marked the line of play. which were but one of many refine ments.
 MT. Crump discovered the possi- bilities, invisible to many others at that time, of tho tree-covered stretch of land and in the face of many dis couraxements he went ahead. think hs bought the land himself, turning 1t over to the club later on. Nothing was left to chance. and the result is that to surprising degree his ideas have found material form. I remember that when l first played the course loved 1t because I thought that 1t embodied many of my ideals but soon discovered that It embodied many more of which l had never thought at all. am member of tho club. the only east ern club to which belong.
 It was . great work he did and the loss to golf is great. but more

tion one finds that the pitching is where the Corsairs have been falling down all year. The slab sters have gone to pieces on every occasion. while the alleged weddings with the willow have been storming along at q merry clip. The Pirates are second in team hitting In the National league. to be exact. boasting club hitting mark of .302. which proves beyond doubt that they have plenty of hitting power.
 Amt It sof
 No team can boost
 It's berth an inch.
 Unless it punches

 But win it will

 If batter pinches
 With the punch.
 Pie In the Ofn tment
 Hats off to old Pie Traynor. former Baron shortsmith. Pie is delivering with wallops against National league pitching at a greater consistency thar he ex- hibited in the Southern league. We see the. former popular Baron sailing along at swift clip. To date his hitting mark against the hurlers In John Heyler's circuit Is 310, and the past week he enjoyed one of the biggest spurts of the summer. Jonathan Beverly Gooch has also focused his orbs on the ball to better advantage of late, and he is now within striking dis tance of the coveted 300 mark. John Beyerly's average for the season is .2s1.
 Speaking Of old John J. Coincidence, the Giants In the National and the Tigers In the American. are leading their re- spective leagues in team hitting Giants boast mark of 1908 in the National and Detroiters are dittoing In the junior major. Baby Doll Jacobson, whom old timers remember for his mighty slugHing proclivities with tho Mobile team in this league, and who has formerly been the slug < ging star for the St. Louis Browns, Is having the worst year of his career from hit ting standpoint. Baby Doll boasts a measIey willow mark of 1856. Oh. well. 1t looks like it's a bad year for Babes and Babys all the way round.

Four Days in Bay City

Four Days in Hay City
 Accompanied by flock of crutches the Barons journey down to Mobile Sunday, where they open a quartet of battles with the league leaders. They start the thing off with a Sab bath day attraction, play Mon day. Tuesday and Wednesday, In the Bay City and then grab an armful of Pullman tickets for New Orleans where they hope to enjoy some Pelican shooting for the four days to follow. July will find the Barons back home again to celebrate the Glorious Fourth.
 In tackling Mobile and New Orleans. two of the strongest clubs in the Martin loop. the henchmen of C. NJ. find them selves i'll a pretty badly crippled condition. Tommy Taylor has re- dfgitoriai incapaci tatfon. This has team lit the road. due to his digitorial incapaciation. This has necess.tated the playing of John (Sugar} Kane on the hot corner. The latest victim is Stump Clarke, who sprained an ankle in Atlanta and was forced to step from the fray. This necessitated the send ing of a pitcher or catcher to the fray, and this is the way the battle formation of the Moieys will line up for the next few days.
 lTheres ben a split in Bsronial ranks. Tommy Taylor's fingers.
 Labor trouble note: Tommy Taylor has been having trouble with his hands.
 According to attendances in the Bay City no guy put the Mob in Mobile.
 Frank Welsh Here
 Frank Welsh, star outfielder for the Philadelphia Athletics, is in Birmingham. where he was called on account of the death of his brother. Frank has been hit- ting lightly this season. and at- tributes his small hitting aver age as compared to the big mark he has set for the last two sea- sons to the fact that he has been in ill health all summer. Frank will return to the camp of the Mackmen Tuesday.
 M Sounds Paradoxical You've heard 1t said time and [ | time again this summer that the Z Pittsburg Pirates didn't have chance to grab off the National { league gonfalon. because they didn't have the hitting power. "The punch Is lacking" The critics have walled this since the early spring They all seemed agreed on the fact that sthe Pi- rates had plenty of pitching prowess. but no punching power.
