CHALLENGER BEST OF BOXERS JACK HAS GONE AGAINST
Sullivan And Corbett Staged Great Battle For Title
 Years Ago

NEW YORK, July 1.-(By Asso- ciated Press .)-When Tommy Gib- bons, St. Paul heavyweight, steps into the ring at Shelby, Mont. July against Jack Dempsey. the cham respects to "Gentleman Jim" Cor bett when that dapper boxing wiz ard squared off against John l.. Sullivan at New Orleans in 1892.
 Gibbons chances against Dempsey have been belittled by a majority of the experts, and indeed, the Min nesotan hardly appears heavy punch CT enough to flatten the Coloradan. But like his middleweight brother, Mike, The Phantom" Tommy is a master boxer, cool in combat, all ways clever. always fast, and a puncher of no mean ability.
 At least year older than Demp- sey, an inch or two shorter and really a light heavyweight, Gibbons may not be able to stand before the champion for 15 rounds. Except in age-Corbett was much younger than Sullivan when they met at New Orleans-Gibbons and Dempsey will be like "Gentleman Jim and Ter rible John L.," in that famous scrap of S1 years ago.
 Sullivan's terrific punching power like that of the Dempsey of today caused many sturdy opponents knees to quake when he thought of 1t, and many of them were defeated by fear before Sullivan laid a glove on them. Not so Corbett When Jim took his corner at New Orleans John l.. scowled, shuffled his feet and spat on the ring floor, his GUS tomary greeting. Jim laughed and chatted with ring -siders as the gloves

HITTING OF VOLS WEEKS FEATURE SOUTHERN LEAGUE
PeIs Still Leading While Vols Turn Bears Down For
 Second Place

MEMPHIS Tenn, July 1.-Sensa- tional hitting by the Nashville Volun- teers provided the spectacular feature of the week in the Southern asso- ciation. Including today's game, the Volunteers wone six out of eight played during the week, hammering opposing pitchers for a total of 96 hits. As & result, the. Volunteers displaced the Mobile Bears In sec ond place in the standing.
 New Orleans retains the pinnacle, the Pelicans having won four out of seven gameS played during the week. Little Rock broke even In eight games, including Sundays, winning four and losing four.

 The defensive work of the New Or leans Pelicans continues spectacular oponents being held to 19 hits in seven games including Saturdays. This is the weeks lowest figure for the league. While Nashville's field CTS and tWirlers were more liberal, in corresponding period, allowing opponents 2S runs, the terrific hitting of the Volunteers rolled up total of 42 runs for Nashville, during the seven games, while the Pelicans scored but 23.
 Mobiles six errors set the low mark for the week, and the Bears were second to Nashville for total fin Ca pa with a total of 6S.
 The Little Rock Travellers also found their batting eye, driving out e hits for a total of 3S runs in seven games, while Chattanooga sus- tained the most severe reverses, due largely to an unfortunate week on the defensive side of play, the 21 err TOTS in seven games aiding the oppo- nents of the Lookouts In amassing the il runs scored against Chattanooga pitchers.
 Of the eight home runs scored Tn the weeks play, prior to today, Bernsen of Nashville drove out two. Three Mobile players hit for the cir cult in that period.

BARONS OPEN AGAINST THE
 CHAMPIONS AT RICKWOOD
Double Header At New Or leans Sunday Ralned Out

Stuffy Stewards rejuvenated Ba- rons return home today to open series at Redwood with the Mobile Bears. The Fourth of July will be celebrated at the Wood as usual, when Bears and Barons stage an all day fracas.

 CLEVELAND. O., July IA new record in padding a. canoe was es- tablished here late today when Texas Jack" Sullivan arrived at the Cleveland Yacht club after padding across Lake Erie. He made the CO., mile trip in four minutes less than 24 hours.

 Sullivan departed in an 1S-foot open canoe from Rondeau, Canada, opposite here, at 5:14 D. m. yester- day, arriving in Rocky river this evening at 5:10.
 The canoe was conveyed by a yacht, "The Shark" commanded by Vice Commodore Ralph W. Walton Of the Cleveland Yacht club, under whose auspices the trip was made.

YANKEES ARE NOW
 NINE FULL GAMES AHEAD ATHLETICS

NEW YORK, July 1.-The New York Americans, by winning their fourth straight game today from Philadelphia, increased their lead in the American league race to nine full games, the greatest margin they have ever known. The Yankees only defeat during the week was by the Boston Red SoX.
 The Chicago Americans, by taking their fourth straight from Cleveland today, increased the number of their weeks victories to six and moved into the first division, displacing Detroit, who lost to St. Louis. St. Louis also moved ahead of the Tigers.
 The New York Giants maintained their lead in the National during the week, while Cincinnati gained on the Pittsburg club, in second place, by close victory over the Pirates today. Brooklyn crept closer toward the first division today, nosing out the Giants while the Chicago Cubs were being defeated by St. Louis.

were being pushed upon his hands, He paid no attention to Sullivan.
 Through the rounds, as agile Jim sidestepped Sullivans bull-like rushes, the champion became infu- rated. Came then the famous twenty first round, Corbett still strong and smiling. The wear of the fight had told on Sullivan; he was angered, but even then had he been able to punch Corbett solidly he would have retained the title. Cor bett landed five crashing blows to the jaw.
 Sullivan kept his feet, but his eyes began to roll. He was tottering. Corbett measured his man. The right landed on the jaw point. Old Johns knees sagged and he keeled slowly over.
 The great champion, batterer- down of a hundred heavy hitting op- ponents, had been defeated by a master boxer.
 Dempsey. as champion, has never met man as well versed in the game as Gibbons. Carpenter, the one punch man, could not evade the Dempsey rushes. Bill Brennan was more than once a punching bae. Billy Miske was another Willard. stunned by the first of Dempsey 8 blows, was an easy target until the end.

Tee, Fairway and Green
By "CHICK" EVANS

ANAH
 Trees are wonderful with their shade on the golf course, but watch out when you are playing near one that 1t doesn't cost you several extra strokes.
 A ravne between tee and green on short hole not only makes a dan gerous hazard, but it may so affect you that your judgment of 175 yards, say, will be stood completely on it's ear.
 There are perfectly open fairways that are filled with detail. and this fairway IS a totally different propo- sition with the sun back of you from what it is when the sun is in your face.
 To one side of your course we will say there is a wooded hillside When this hillside is green in summer it has one effect on your game, but when it gets colorful in the fall the effect is totally different.
 cite these queer things to bring . out the relation which judgment Of distance bears to the golf shot and to emphasize only a few things that have power to disturb your judg- ment. The following may give you good explanation of why your game upsets here ana there without any apparent reason for your mis- takes in distance judgment.
 In text book issued by the army tEere are given some rules for the judgment of distance. Here they are:
 "The distance of objects is over cstimated on broken ground or over a valley or undulating ground; in avenues or ravnes; when the object lies in the shade, or is only partially seen; when heat is rising from the ground; in inclosed country, i. e.. a landscape full of detail; when the sun is in the observers eyes.
 On the contrary, distance is un- derestimated (not to put too fine q point upon it. we are likely to un- derclub ourselves and to be hopeless- Iy shorO when the sun is behind the observer in bright light, or clear at mosphere; when back ground and ob- ject are of different colors; when the intervening ground is level; when holing over deep chasm; when looking upwards or downwards or in open country, void of detail
 These suggestions may be worth trying out. To estimate properly the length of a shot is of great inn portance to a golfer, and he almost invariably reckons distance, not in feet and yards, but by a drive, a brassie, an iron and pitch.

 Among-the men held here is the father of the youth, although there is no specific charge against the older man in connection with the murder. He was held on a charge of violating the United States law in relation to whisky.

TANKS SWEEP THE ATHLETIC SERIES WITHOUT A LOSS

Forty-five thousand doting base ball fans saw the New York Yankees make a clean sweep of "cruciaP' series of four games with the Phila- delphia Athletics Sunday. The Tanks, with Sammy Jones in holiday trim, held the persuing Philadelphia club to a scant five hits for a to o win. Connie Mack sent his star, Ed die Rommel, to the mound to oppose the New Workers. It was the second setback of the series for the fea- tured Eddie. The American league champs now lead Mack by nine full games.
 In Washington youngster billed as Zahniser held the Boston Red Sox at his mercy with only three hits, helping the Senators amble off with an s to l victory. The White Sox smacked the Cleveland Indians to the tune of to ?. The Browns, in St. Louis, shut out the heavy hitting Tigers, 8 to 0.
