BEES SHOW PEP
IN DRAWN FIGHT
AT WEARN FIELD
Nearly Nine Innings Com
pleted When Water Sent
Players Off Field.
With the score tied in the last half of
the ninth inning in the game between
Charlotte and Augusta at Wcarn Field
Saturday, with two down rain sent the
players scurrying off the field and the
game was not resumed. The count
stood 1 to 1 at the end cf the eighth
and neither had scored in the uncom
pleted ninth.
, It was the fastest game seen here
in srme time. Webber pitching for
the Hornets, allowed five hits in eight
innings, and one in the ninth but that
did not count, officially. Stont allowed
four, also one in the uncompleted
ninth. The Hornets made four errors,
two of them Kingston's, but none of
the four counted for anything in the
run Augusta made. Some fast work
in the field marked the contest.
Augusta made the first run. Walsh,
first up in the fourth inning, hit safe
ly but was thrown out later, trying
to get to third. Fulghum got a single
and came home on Agnew's triple.
The Hornets made their lone marker
in the fifth inning. Paschal, first up,
fouled out. Williams flew out to short.
Kirke went two bases on his blow and
scored on Kingston's single. When
Kennedy came up Stone decided to
walk him and take a chance with
Webber. Webber grounded out.
At the beginning of the ninth the
Tygers mustered up what desperation
they had, Walsh getting a single. The
next three men, however, were easy
outs.
Ezra Midkiff came up in Charlotte's
half of the ninth and delivered a sin
gle. It looked like the game might
be won. Rain was falling slowly and
Stone ddi what he could to delay the
game. O'Connell fanned and Middy
was killed trying to steal second. It
was then that the umpires decided that
it was raining too hard.
Cy Morgan, fie'.d umpire, seemed to
be off somewhat. He made a de
cision that a blind man could have
beat on Kennedy's throw to O'Connell
to ctach Trefry at second in the sev
enth inning. The ball not only beat
him there but Ralph touched him in
plenty of time. It is bad taste to find
fault with his umpship but, Morgan
was off. There was nothing else to
it.
Williams made a beautiful catch back
of shortstop.
It was a good game to tie and the
Hornets seemed to have enough pep to
win if the ninth could have been com
pleted and the game gone to extra in
nings. With two down and nobody
on when it was called they could
hardly have scored in the ninth.

PARIS SPORTS ED.
New Tork, June 25. Andre Glarner,
Sport editor.tfinbrzmfwyetaovbgkhrdlu
the Excelsior of Paris returned from
Atlantic City today after having his
first look at Jack Dempsey.
"Dempsey almost shocked me. I
found that I along with everyone in
France had a terribly mistaken idea
of his ability,". he said,
f "Dempsey surprised me with his
physique, his speed and his knowledge
of boxing. Not many in France had
ever seen him and from the record of
men he had met, they understood him
;to be a fighter of the old class like
Sharkey and Ruhlan a big strong fel
low without ring generalship who could
.take a beating.
: "It took me only a minute whe
Dempsey went, into the ring to learn
that we all had been badly mistaken.
Instead of being a big lumbering brute
I found him to be a magnificent ath
lete. .

THINK RECORDS
WILL BE BROKEN
At A. A. U. National Track
Meet at Pasadena Early
This Week.
Pasadena, Cal., June 25. It is re
garded as almost a certainty that ore
or two, and possibly more, world's ren
brds will be broken at the national A.
A. U. championships to be held July
2, 4 and 5.
The track at Paddock Field, where
the events are to be staged, is faster
now than it ever was before. In South
ern California, where it does not rain
in summer, weather conditions can be
counted on to be entirely satisfactory.
The temperature should be just about
right to bring out the best that is in
the contenders for honors. ,
All the world's : records areworthv
ones, and they are seldom equalled
and rarely broken. However, there
are a few which may fall. Experts
look upon the 440-yard hurdles as one
of the "weak" events, although a new
world's mark has just been accepted
by the international committee, mads
by John K. Norton, on the same field
last year in the Olympic tryouts, wh-iii
he covered the distance in 54 seconds.
Frank Loomis, of Chicago, defeated
him at the metr: distance -".nd broke
the reco.-d for nnetus, but not for
j'ards. These two will clash here next
month, and it is reasonable to expect
that a new mark may result.
Another event where a new mark
may develop is in the javelyn throw.
Lincoln, a Nejkv York: Hmner, .' rfan
Jose, Cal ; Tu'ck, of Oregon, .imi An
giers, of the Illinois Athletic Club, all
know the Olympic form of throwing,
which won the title for Finland, and
any of these is liable to crack the
American record at least.
Several junior national figures .are
in danger this year. Blenkiron. a
Southern California star, stands a
splendid chance to break the long
standing 100-vard record. Eddie Pur
tell, of the University of Southern Cal
ifornia, may shatter . the' 220-mark,
which also has stood for a long time.
It is "22 2-5 seconds, comparativoly
slow time, which is caused by the rul
ing of the Junior Nationals. No man
who has ever won fii st place in a big
conference meet, or a meet equivalent
to it, or who his ever placed in a na
tional senior championship event, or
in any international event, or vho
has won a first place in a junior cham
pionship is eligible. Many times a fast
100-yard champ ;as won the cental y
and then been ineligible for the 220
yards, .thus partly accounting for the
poor record m that event. Purtel! will
run just the one--race. Those who
have been watching him ienl hopeful
he will make it in 22 seconds
Charlie Paddock, of Pasadena, hold
er of the world's 100 and 220-yard rec
ords, is in wonderful form just now
and may establish new world's records
inthese events. He has declared this
will be his last appearance in com
petition, and naturally he will exert
himself to the utmost.
MARSHVILLE BALL
FEVER IS INCREASING

tors from all up and down the line were
attracted to Marshville on Tuesday aft
ernoon to witness the ball game between
Marshville and' Jefferson,-. S. C The
South Carolinians had walked off w,ith
several victories over the home team
so on this occasion Marshville wras load
ed for bear,y and interest ran . high

local team the score Jumped to 6.
managed to make in the meantims, arid
thus the score stood when the game
was over, much to the satisfaction of
Marshville. The ball park here is very
rapidly becoming a center , of interest
owing to" the real ball games being
played there now, the home team al
waysmaking a .creditable showing in
every game.
AMERICAN WINS
HIGHEST HONOR
IN G0LF WORLD
Jock Hutchinson, Chicago,
Beats Wethered for Brit
ish Open Championship.
By CHAS. M. M'CANN,
United Press Staff .Correspondent.
St. Andrews, Scotland, June 25. The
greatest golf honors in the world are
America's tonight.
Jock Hutchison, Chicago -professional,
won the British open championship,
the classic of all tournaments, by, over
whelming Roger Wethered, Oxford am
ateur, this afternoon in the play-off
necessitated by yesterday's tie.
The American's margin was nine
strokes for the 36 holes, his total score
being 150 to the Briton's 159. He had
acquired a lead of three strokes at
the end of the , first nine holes and
was never headed.
Hutchison did the first nine holes in
36 to Wethered's 39. This lead was
maintained when both did the next
nine in 38. Jock's mai-velous 33 on
the first nine in the afternoon round
gave him a lead of nine strokes, which
constituced his lead at the end. Both
employed 43 strokes in their final nine
holes.
Their score at ths end of 72-hnles
medal play yesterday was 296, five
strokes over te record established by
James Braid in lf06. Both got fours
on the first hole and fives on the sec
ond. On the third, by placing his ap
proach within three yards, of the pin,
Jock holed out in three while the col
legian took. five.
IN LEAD IN SEVENTH
Wethered got the two strokes back
on the next hole. After getting on
the green with his second, he was down
in four. Hutchison sliced his second
onto the "new course," and went into
a bunker on the third. He barely
holed out in six. The tie was main
tained throughout the fifth and sixth.
The American went into the lead, again
on the seventh by holing a nine-yard
putt for a three. Wethered required
four. The score was duplicated on
the eighth and ninth, making Hutchi
son three strokes up.
Hutchison increased his lead, to four
strokes on the tenth, a beautiful pitch
to within three feet of the pin permit
ting him to hole out in three to a
four for Wethered. Both did the elev
enth and twelfth in fours. .
The amateur got a stroke back on
the thirteenth and another on the four
teenth when Hutchison was a little
wild in his approaches and needed a
five. Each got a four on the fifteenth.
Wethered cut the American's lead down
to one stroke on the sixteenth when
Jock missed a three-foot putt and took
a five to his opponent's four. The pro
fessional reversed) the proceedure on
the seventeenth and eighteenth, get
ting fours on those holes to Wetherd's
five.
Wethered putted his drive, on the
next, a dog running across the
course rattled him and put him off his
ntroke. , The best golf of the day was
shown by Hutchison on the first nine
holes of the afternoon round. They
played even for the first three taking
fdurs on the nineteenth and twenty
first and fives on the twentieth. " Weth
ered got tangled up in a bunker on his
second shot on the twenty-second, went
into the rough on the left of the fair
way on his third and in the rough on
the opposite side on his fourth, requn
ing six strokes to get down. Jock
made it in four. ,
BAD PUTTING
The Britton missed a ten foot putt on
the twenty-third, and took a five. Jock
sank a 30 foot putt for a three. Both
were driving well at this stage of the
game, but Wethered's putting was bad.
After losing the twenty-fourth hole,
four strokes to 3, he missed a two-foot
put ' on the twenty -fifth and lost the
hole, five strokes to four. This placed
Hutchison nine strokes to the good, the
margin with -which the match ended.
Both players, got fine threes on the
twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh holes.
The final ; nine ; holes witnessed the
most indifferent playing of the match,
requiring 43 strokes. Wethered got
two sevens, the only-ones of the day.
Both did the twenty-eighth in four.
A five cost the American the twenty
ninth by one stroke. He took the
same number in the thirtieth," but Weth
ered got into trouble in a bunker, and
needed seven, placing him ten strokes
down. The next hole was even in
fours, then came a duplication of the
thirtieth, the amateur's wildness cost
ing him seven, strokes to Hutchison's 5,
making the latter 12 up.
The thirty-third was even in fours,
Wethered then started a spurt and,
aided, by his opponents slight wavering
won back one stroke on each of the
three final holes,, getting a four,' a
five and a four. "

I Mustn't "Doctor" !
The Ball While in
The Spinners' City
Greenville, S. C, June 25. Any
South Atlantic League - player
caught "doctoring" baseballs in any
championship game in Greenville is
liable to arrest by the city author
ities and a fine in the police court,
according to instructions issued to
day by the athletic commission
which was created recently by the
city council with full powers to
govern any athletic event in the
city. The local commission today
mailed this notice to all the man
agers and to President Walsh. The
commission says that the use of
emeiy, paraffine or other substances
for "doctoring" baseballs is strict
ly against the league rules and that
it proposes to see that the rules are
complied with, if the umpires fail
to discharge their duties. It was
reported to the commission that the
balls had been doctored in some of
the recent games here. This ruling
applies to Greenville as well as the
other teams, the commission stated.

Man Who Beat Dempsey Twice
Picks Him To Knock Out Carp
He Expects Champ to Catch
Georges as the Latter
Jumps In.
By NORMAN E. BROWN,
Cleveland, O., June 2,5. I figure
that the man who has fought Jack
Dempsey six times is in a better pe
sition . to discuss Dempsey's chances
against Carpentier than we gentlemen
who) have been ringside fighters. That's
why I dropped in on Willie Meehan
here and buzzed him. Meehan has
beaten Dempsey twice, earned three
draws with him and lost to him but
once. And the last two times . he
faced the Giant Killer were the times
Meehan won. Meehan saw Carpen
tier trounce Levinsky, which gave him
considerable line on the Frenchman.
Says Wee Willie: :
"Dempsey will finish Carpentier any
time he feels like it.
"Dempsey is too rugged for Georges.
Jack will beat Carpentier down speed
and all.
STAMINA BEAT JACK
"Dempsey will catch Carpentier as
he jumps in plant one to his body like
that (and Willie hit yours truly alto
gether too rudely where we live.) Then
he'll drive one to Carpentier's head.
That'll be all.
"I beat Dempsey twice, not because
I ha.d fair speed and " boxing . ability,
but because I had the ability to 'take
it.' I've got the stamina. The man
who beats Demi sey must have that.
Carpentier's a good man a remarkable
one but he hasn't got the right quali
fications. "The last time I beat Dempsey, I
was in' perfect condition.- I'd had
the greatest training period in the
world to give me endurance and tough
en me. T had been six months in the
navy. up at 5:30, every morning, drilling
all day and liying on real food, beans,
etc. Carpentier. hasn't had that train
ing. He , undoubtedly is in perfect
shape and will be at his best in box
ng, footwork and speed in general. He
.nust be brainy, from what I'm told.

WILLIE'S BOSS OPINES
Frod Windsor, Meehan's manar,
speaks from the "know" chair, tea..
Windsor -managed Dempsey out on tne
Pacific coast when Jack was an unknown.-
It was Windsor who fi'-'
said. "Dempsey's the next heavy111'
champ."
Windsor, too, managed Billy Pap
who beat the Frenchman several
ago abroad.
Says Windsor:
"First of all I don't believe Carpo
tier is a much-improved boxer s"J :
the war. as his friends point out Jj
French generally develop Gal'lj- ,L8
is true of their athletes. I beI!..n
that Carpentier was in hia prime
he beat Jim. Sullivan, the Eng1
champ, back in 1912 when Carpenu
was only eighteen. And it was i .
long after that he rough' the Am
cans, Papke, Kk.us and others. - j;e
he failed to convince us t'ltn tnai
was great. He no doubt is one w -fastest,
cleverest, brainiest fi?!' n a
rope has produced. But he n -par
with Dempoiy."
This statement, coming from a ' -who,
at one time, was nor. dm? u
sey to his title and now is on tne
side, bears weight.
