THE NEW YORK HANDICAP

Impartial baseball men will readily agree that another worlds series be- tween the Giants and the Yankees would be about as interesting as bill of lading. Further than that, it would be bad thing for baseball, financial ly and otherwise, for it would kill in- terest in that fertile pasture known as the West and provide first-class foundation for the charge that New York ball clubs buy pennants outright.
 However, any gambler will tell you that the odds are against both teams repeating. It wasn't done by the two Chicago clubs following the 1906 series. But if odds and precedent are not enough, turn your kind attention to the groups of temperamental gents assembled under the banners of Messrs. McGraw and Huggins.
 If they can repeat with those out fits they should try conclusions with the bank of Monte Carlo.

MOVIES

Wallace Reid, famous Paramount star, has again scored decisively as screen artist, by his clever dual inn personation in his new picture, Al ways Audacious,' which is shown at the Empress last time tonight. In this picture MT. Reid portrays two entirely different types of men, one is the hero and the other is scheming and will lainous crook, and he puts them both over to perfection.
 A delightful love romance adds much to the interest of the story.
 "One Man in a Million" is one pie ture in million-a wonderful human story that gets a tear and sob and a laugh or so. And George Beban is one actor in a million for it is doubtful whether there is any screen star who can even approach his eharaeteriza, tions of the homely aliens who come to Americas shores.
 Mir. Beban's latest picture, which took full year to make, contains all the essentials of the successful motion picture combined in story of unde- ! niable merit and interest. Lupino Del chini, played by MT. Beban, rises to no great social heights, but the i'm pression is indelible that he is never theless a great man, a human whose outward appearance is a mere shell to cover one heart in million. This picture will be shown on Sun- day and Monday evenings at the Elm press.

HEAVY RAINS MAKE
 SLOW TRACK PONY RACE

CANYON CITY, Ore, June 10. - Jack Mccarthy yesterday won the Pony Express Race run between The Dalles and here. The distance cov- cred was 1S9 miles, and the winner finished in 19 hours and IF minutes, arriving here at 11,32. Mccarthy was awarded a prize of thousand dol lars in gold dust for first place. Bert Price of this city won second place completing the course in 19 hours and 52 minutes. The time of the winner was slow due to the poor condition of the roads travelled. Recent heavy for record breaking time.

Some days ago fan dropped dead when Ty Cobb hit homer with two on, but, medical opinion to the con- trary, it seems hardly credible that the gentleman's demise was brought about by shock. The spectacle of Cobb hitting homer with two on ceased to be shocking along about the fall of 1907.

mons as promoter. According to an other story Willard and Dempsey are to fight for the eminent MT. Rickard in Jersey City on the same date.
 Confusing? Not at all. Willard is tied up to Rickard as tight as a mis- CTS purse strings. Unless he has Rickard or no one. So much for Will lard
 On the other and remaining hand Kearns and Rickard are like thumb and forefinger, that close. And Kearns was the unseen agent who used Fitzsimmons as a blind to pro- mote the Dempsey-Miske fight in Ben- ton Harbor. If Kearns is still behind Fitzsimmons, and Rickard wants the Willard thing for Jersey City, to Jer- sey City it will go.
 This is all contingent, however, upon Willard's ability and willingness to re-enter the ring. On this score we are prone to believe that the prize ring will never see Jess Willards S huge hulk again.
 That being the case, Dempsey's only real rival, Harry Wills, will be the man to face him at Boyle's Thirty Acres, probably on Labor Day.

 Saw countless thousands cheering

 He plucked a blade of grass and sat There chewing one mean, nasty cud. The matchless Speaker came to bat What was that dull and distant

Yelled in mystery. the prohibition

a dash to Florida waters, there to join
prohibition officials and the Depart

The fight wages 'fiercer on the Flo

feet little boats skirt the vigilance OF

More prominent prohibition and bu-

been learned, are, working in the

their activities have been more or
less screened by secrecy, enough has
become known to justify the worse
suspicious about Florida.
Late yesterday ii was breathed in
! unofficial circles that some of the
swift subchasers of the dry fleet be-
ing made ready in Baltimore may be
ready to sail within a very few days.
Recruiting for a service offering so
much of romance, excitement and
danger, has progressed speedily, it is
understood, several dry sailors ap-

These subchasers, former naval

service, are 110 feet long were built
by the United States to fight formid-
able enemies, and now that their
force is to be cut loose in a new serv-
ice, it is understood the new crews
are itching to see how close they can
| come to the registered speed OF eight
cen knots.
Another reason why some believe
the boats may be ready to set out
shortly lies in the fact that they were
in more reasonably good condition
before being turned over by the
coast guard. They were tied up near
Baltimore on account of a shortage
since they were obtained from the
Navy, while others had lain idle.

Photographers who have been on

is evident that the heavy hand of Sc
crecy has been laid on as many ac-
