SPEED PITCHES :. SHlJTOUT GAME
Last Of Tarheel Series Won By Alabama For
 Clean Sweep

UNIVERSITY, Ala, May 20.-Herb Steed closed his baseball career here this afternoon by hurling the Crimsons to brilliant 50 victory against the North Carolina Tarheels.
 Steed allowed the Tarheels three lone blows, all coming in far separated in- nings. He forced five Tarheels to whiff the ozone, and was cutting the corners with plenty of gnsto. The only thing that marred his final exhibition was his issuance of four free trips to first. Another feature of ais play was his start of a fast double play that re- tired the Tarheels in the ninth.
 Bonner singled in the second but died or the paths. He was walked in the fourth, but caught mapping off first. Gillis' error and hit by Jones threat ened a score for Carolina in the sixth, but Steed pulled out A walk and an other miscue by Gillis was stopped in the seventh. In the eighth, Carolina s third blow and a walk failed to pro- duce a run. The double play in the ninth stopped a last minute attempt.
 Alabama scored one in the fifth when Hubert doubled to left and con. natser beat out an infield blow. Cohen filled the bases on a fielder's choice. Here double play, home to first cut Hubert off, but Propsts' blow scored Connatser.
 In the seventh, hits by Cohen, Propst, Salmon and a triple by Gillis that was misjudged by Bonner, coupled with two walks and a fielder's choice, ac. counted for fuor Alabama runs.
 In addition to Steed's pitching, other features were pretty jumping catch by Salmon and one-handed stop of a grounder by Gillis.

case in his choice of "The Harvester" for which he paid the unusual price of 5000 when the great stallion was but a green two-year-old, buying the animal for August Uhline, Milwaukee brewer.
 Equally marvellous is Geers' train ing ability. The champion stallion. The Harvester" was so stubborn when a colt that it took five men to lead him out of the stable but after he had been on the track but short time he would eat apples and Jumps of sugar from his drivers hand.
 Answers All Letters
 At the North Memphis Driving Park here, where Geers trains his steppers, he receives letters daily and the thousand of details in the harness sport. He never fails to answer and never exacts a fee.
 Time and again while on the circuit the veteran has requests to drive q likely colt or older racer and give his opinion if there is anything wrong. He always obliges and no phase of shoeing, harnessing or any of the details of the game escapes his notice. He often times has given advice as to remedial measures that have resulted in him. self being beaten by the driver to whom ]. the advice was given.
 Above all in the entire more than half century of Pop" Geers' career has there ever been a hint, never suggestion that he was anything but on the square. To any suggestion of fixing or throwing a race he always has shown a deaf ear.
  Memphis in the car with the aristo- crats of the track will be parked a brand new tin lizzie. For after the opening meet the canny Tennessean takes every jump possible over the grand circuit in a Ford. While he loves his work loves to drive the greatest horses, when he wants to get somewhere he uses his "tin can," as he calls it. He buys a new one each year and has refused all overtures to buy another make of car.

PARIS, May 20.-(By Associated Press. )-Capt. Jefferson Davis Cohn, owner of Sir Gallahad III, which de- feated Epinard in Mondays match race at Saint Cloud, thinks the proposal of a revenge race for 500,000 francs is absolute bumptiousness," he ndig- nantly declared today.
 Under no circumstances" he said, twill I consent to any match for money. I have not been consulted in regard to this proposed return match and have received no challenge.
 q think Sir Gallahad will not run again for three months. have had him in training since January 1 and he has had five races during that time, I cannot train such a nervous horse for any longer period of time.
 No, if I decide to run Gallahad again, it will be under conditions simi- lar to those in the last race, with q small purse like 10000 francs-that's sporting proposition--or a trophy. Anyway, you can say now that the prospect for return match is extremely unlikely"

PROPOSES REVENGE MATCH

PARIS, May 20.-(By Associated Press. )-The British friends of Epi- nard, dissatisfied with the result of Mondays race in which the pride of the French turf was defeated by Sir Gallahad III, have offered to back Epinards chances to the extent of a half million francs in return race against his rival over the same distance and with identical weight conditions, with the exception that the race be run on straight-away course.
 They have obtained the consent of Pierre Wertheimer, owner of Epinard, to run his horse in such an event on condition that it take place before June 6, as Epinard will be taken to Ascot about June 10 for the gold cup event.
 The challenge was forwarded today to Capt. Jefferson Davis Cohn, owner of Sir Gallahad.
 Both Epinard and Sir Gallahad came out of their hard struggle sound, neither showing the effects of the terrific drive through the stretch.
 "This race will do my horse good" M. Wertheimer said today. II can't help thinking he was still little short on condition and a little overweight"
 All the sporting writers in. the Paris newspapers sound the praises of Frank O'Neill for his ride on Sir Gallahad against Everett Hayes and are one in the opinion that O'Neill would have reversed the decision had he been riding Epinard.
 Pierre Wertheimer, owner of Epin- ard, when informed of Captain Cohn's reply, said "So that is settled. I am not anxious to meet Sir Gallahad again unless the fortunes of racing get our horses together.
 Epinard has been coming along, nice ly and will just be about ready for Ascot I did not challenge Captain Cohn, but permitted friends of my hOrse-not mine-to- do so.
 "The racing experts all agree that Epinard was beaten, but not dis graced. He will show his Newmarket form again next June"
