NEW A. A. u. BRANCH

First steps to organize a branch
of the National Amateur Athletic
Union with jurisdiction over WASH
ington amateur athletic activities and
wholly independent of the South At
lantic division of that body will be
taken tonight at a meeting in the
Ebbitt Hotel. Representatives of ten
or more clubs promoting athletics
here viii gather art o'clock to
formulate plans for a new branch
and probably petition the national
organization for a charter
$, The called meeting is the result
of rebuff dealt Washington dele
gates to the recent South Atlantic
A. A. L. convention in Baltimore
Then several applications of local
clubs for admission into the South
Atlantic division were tabled on mo-
tion of Baltimore delegates, who later
refused to give the District men what
the latter considered adequate repre-
sentation in the South Atlantic
councils.
Washington Canoe Club, George
town University and Aloysius Club
are heading the movement for an in
dependent branch with headquarters
he~e. Others have been specifically
irvited to join forces with these three
and any athletic clubs interested In
the project will be cordially well
coined at tonight's meeting.

FEAT OF BOSTONIAN
SPURS D. C. GOLFERS

When Myron D. Smith of the Sandy
Burr course, near Boston. drove a golf
ball 40 yards Sunday, he gave the
players at East Potomac Park some
thing to talk about in their practice
for the long distance championship
Saturday at 2 o'clock. Manager
Leoffier has agreed to let the players
shoot with the wind in the hopes
some good distance viii be made.
Report. from Boston say Smith had
the advantage of the wind and a sun
baked course. There is no player at
East Potomac Park who ever has
laced the ball for 400 yards.
Bill Mcclure of Marathon fame has
driven the first green on the b
course and quite a number of play
ers have driven No. 9 coming in on
the same route and got a roll that
carried the ball toward the club
house.
Manager Leoffler will stake fair
way that will be about eighty yards
wide with direction flags. The con-
tcstants must keep the ball straight
as well as get distance. Flags will
be placed every twenty-five yards after
the 200yard marks is reached. The
contest will be held on the driving
field along the Speedway entrance

RACE FOR BIG STAKE
AT HAvRE De GRACE

HAVRE DE GRACE. Md. September
19-The first big stake of the Mary
land racing season will be run at the
opening Of the Hartford County Asso-
citation meeting here today.
It is the $4,000 Eastern Shore stake,
for two-year-olds. at three-quarters
of a mile. One of the largest fields
ever entered in this renewal of the
contest is scheduled to parade.
Several youngsters with creditable
regulations made on New York cir
cults are booked to match stride for
stride. Probably the most sensational
is Happy Thoughts, who is regarded
as a doubtful starter. She is undefeat-
ed and may be saved for the big,
purses that are to follow in Mary
land, especially the $4,000 Pimlico
futurity, which last year was run as
a twin attraction by the Maryland
Jockey Club at Old Hilltop.
Other babies of considerable renown
are Lord Baltimore II, who sports the
silks of ]. S. Cosden, the Baltimore
turfman; Sam Riddles Big Blaze, an
other stake victor during the season,
and a number of others.
The last seven winners of the stake
have been thoroughbreds above the
ordinary. Such brilliant ones as Au-
gust Belmont's Hourless, Tippity
full, Norwich and Bluemont have
reached the goal first. Bluemont, by
the way, was sold by the Quincy sta
bic this summer to J. 8. Cosden for a
reported price of more than $4,000.
The meet will last ten racing days.

FIGHT BODY IGNORES
ATTACKS ON Referee

NEW YORK, September 19.-The
New York state athletic commission
took no cognizance, officially. of the
Dempsey -Firpo heavyweight cham
pionship battle yesterday despite re-
ports that it might act upon the crit
icism directed at Referee Johnny
Gallagher because of his alleged ne
glect to compel Dempsey to follow
instructions.
1t was understood. however. that
the boxing solons felt that though
there mag have been some ground for
finding fault with GalIagher's con-
duct, his judgement in the ring.
nevertheless, was final and could not
be questioned after the bout.
The commission received number r
of communications concerning the
title fight, particularly from Firpo
partisans. who charged that Dempsey
should have been disqualified for al
legged infractions of the rules several
times before he knocked out the Ar
gentine. The specific accusations were
that Dempsey did not adhere to regu-
lations agreed upon in failing to go
to a neutral corner after each knock
down; that he hit Firpo once before
the Argentine's knee had left the
floor and that he struck the South
American several times after the bell
had rung for the fend of the first
round.
Dempsey left Yesterday for Chica
go. where he VIII spend several days
before continuing to Salt Lake City
to visit his parents. He then plans to
go on to his home in Los Angeles.
Firpo has postponed his trip to
Canada until next week.

SP0RTLAND PRELIMS
SHOULD Be PEPPERY

Preliminary bouts of the show
featuring Andy Bowen, District
featherweight champion, and Italian
Sammy Fulton of Trenton, N j., to-
morrow night at Sportland promise
much entertainment. Promoter Heinie
Miller has selected carefully the prin-
cipals for the four early mills and
there should be much action in the
encounters.
A flyweight battle will be staged as
a semi-fnal, in which Midget Carbon
will be opposed by Young Dancio, a
Filipino who has been stepping along
at lively rate in San Francisco.
Carbon will weigh around 10 pounds
and Dancio about los.

and getting a clip on the jaw which
he never should have permitted to
land. 1t was this blow that Jared
Dempsey and got him in such condi-
ton that Firpo could rush him
against the ropes.
In the course of rushing Jack to
the ropes Firpo hit him upon the
head and jay seven or eight times
with that right. The writer counted
them. And yet Dempsey was not out
and was not even dazed. The blow
that sent Jack out of the ring must
have been on the shoulder, as Jack
says; otherwise he would never have
climbed back into that ring again. A
blow on the jaw sufficiently hard to
lift a man from his feet and send him
flying on all fours into space is some
wallop, and no man in the world could
receive il and not slumber long and
profoundly.
That goes for Dempsey. So, judging
from the alert manner in which he
crawled back through the ropes and
renewed his combat against the big
man, it must have been a shoulder
blow with something of a push fol-
lowing il.
A Little Inside Dope.
A little inside story of this fight
is that Kearns had fixed it up with
Dempsey to wade into Firpo from
the start so that the affair would look
like a fight and thus satisfy the GUS
toners This because it was known
that II Jack tried to box with Louis
the Argentine would look so bad
that the bout would be hissed and
booed to fare thee we'll.
Accordingly Jack. tore into Luis
and made d real hummer out of the
affair-and nearly lost his title. Next
time Dempsey will consult his own
interests first.
Every one still is talking about the
battle. No prize ring encounter in
history has left so much to talk

only the participants.
This first series was the series which
made Christy Mathewson the most
