At Skokie even the law of physics that wuter seeks its own level was refuted, for the lower parts of the links, which lie in what was part of the Skokie marsh, are well drained and consequently spurned the down- pour, but the elevated greens, ow- ing to the nature of the subsoil, held the water. The result the anomoly of plavable low greens and elevated ponds, through which a ball could not be propelled, except by the sky route, and then only to drop out of sight in the soggy turf.

Under an agreement made with Sioux City of the Western League on March 27, Chicago obtained sec- nessed the unusual spectacle of World Champion Willlam T. Tilden 2d and Vincent Richards being forced to the limit to defeat Phillip Bettens of San Francisco and Carl Fisher of Philadelphia, 11—9, 6—2, in a second- round doubles match at the Rhode Island state championships. Six players of national standing are left in the singles. They are Tilden, Richards, Wallace Johnson of Phila- delphia, Howard Voshell of New York and Lawrence Rice and Nathaniel Niles of Boston!

Gra bing net champlonships is his spe- clality. He holds clear title to many let loose early this season and yesterday added tof his laurels, when paired with Col. Wait C. Johnson In the final of the District doubles. Playing on the Dumbarton Club courts, this team easily vanquished Maj. Arthur Yencken and Arthur Hellen, 6—3, 6—2 and 6—3. Although the gallery favored Charest and Johnson to win prior to the start of the match, a keen con- test was anticipated. But Yencken and Hellen were unable to give the District singles champion and his partner much of a battle. They sought to carry their attack against John- son early in the fray, but quickly discovered little headway could be made in that direction. And their efforts against Charest were well nigh hopeless. At the conclusion of the match, which ended the twenty-fourth an nual District championships, the winning and runner-up teams were presented with trophies by former Assistant Secretary of War Henry Breckenridge, president of the newly organized National Amateur Ath- letic Federation.

Other BUFF NOT TO QU RING, BUT WL TAKE A RET NEW YORK, July 13.—Johnny Buff, who was suspended with Joe Lynch, new bantamweight champion, pend- ing investigation by the New York state athletic commission of financial arrangements in connection With the contest, will not retire from the ring, his manager, Lew Diamond, declared today, in denying reports to that ef- fect. “Buff intends to rest for three or four weeks, and after that will be prepared to "defend his flyweight champlonship against any contender who appears to have a chance,” Dia- mond said. The commission suspended Buff and Lynch, as well as their managers, after investigating the charge that Lynch guaranteed Buff $30,000 in case the latter lost his title and that be- cause of the small gate receipts was obliged to pay the former champion $9.150.35 out of his own pocket to make up this sum. The commission declared that a pri- vate arrangement of this sort is in direct violation of its rules, prohibit- ing agreements between boxers not sanctioned by the commission. No date was set for the hearing in the case. GOLFERS MEETING TODAY IN WEST VIRGINIA FINAL HOT SPRINGS, Va.

Of course. all the details were re- hearsed in private before the open meeting between Kearns and Paddy Mulline,” who manages Wills. Big business deals are not left to spot orations and quiclk signatures. We would almost be willing to give big odds rights now that the two fighters know about when thay are going to fight, about where and who the pro- moter will be. In fact, as said, the last is a cinch. As tv the time, that will be an- nounced after Gov. Edwards of New Jersey has had time to settle back from the doings of the coming No- vember elections {n his state. For, undoubtedly, the battle will be held in Jersey Coly. Who will Win? Dempsey, of course. At least, it Is reasonable to suppose that Kearns would not be in on this affair if he wasn't altogether certain that his meal ticket will cop the gon- falon. He may be wrong. of course. ‘Wills will be the hardest hitter Jack has ever met. And he will show skill. But he is slower than Jack and any fighter who is slower than Dempsey is likely to let himself in for a lot of trouble. Wills will crumple if he gets it right. In fact, while a col- | ored man looks harder to hurt than a white man this is not really the | case, as has often been proved BY FAIR PLAY. wou seen the wild dash of promoters lege of paying Harry Wills a hundred or so thousand dollars and Jack Dempsey perhaps half a million for going twelve or fifteen rounds? There is only one promoter for this fight, and his name is Rickard. He has the privilege of the big Velodrome in this city and he has also an option on the bigger arena on Boyle’s Thirty Acres in Jersey City. This being so, he is the only man who would dare risk the mental strain of thinking how much money he will have to pay the two gladiators. 1f so, your eyes are of the triple- TURF STARS T0 RACE .
