New York, June 26.—Whiskaway, larry Payne Whitney's sensationa! oit, stands today as the acknowledg king of three year olds on the Am an turf. The sturdy son of Whisk- room 11, decisively defeated his two ivals, Morvich, winner of the Ken- icky derby and Pillory, victor in the wch Preakness and Belmont stakes- n the first running of the $50,000 pecial at Latonta, Ky., Saturday. The vinner was given his hardest test in| final drive by Thibodaux, a rank rutsider, who w half length ihehind at the finis It was proved that his recent vie- tory over Morvich in the Cariton takes at Aquer was no fluke and 1t he was capable of taking the neasure of Benjamin Block's colt vithout any advantage in the weights, uch as he had in the east. The Whitney horse was ten lengths ahead \lorvich which finished third while Piliory made a disippointing showing nid was never dangerous. Whiskaway has fairly earned his ti- tie to the three year old crown, but irf followers point out that he must vet face other contenders of the di- ision to settle the issue definitely while still others are not convinced that Morvich and Pillory are out of he running. Prominent among the Tree olds who may rival the Whitney crack are Hea, Bunting, Tucky Hour, My Play and the latest ensation, s only h, vear KRAMER IS BEATEN Vetaran Cyclist Goes Down to Defeat At Newark Yesterday.

FAMOUS#QUALITY DEMPSEY ARRIVES READY FOR FIGHT Champion Reaches New York, and Will Meet Negro Challenger New York, June 26.—Jeck Demp- sey is in New York, The world's heavyweight champion arrived yes- terday morning from Los Angelés by way of Chicago and will remain here a few days. Dempsey stepped off the train at 10:80 and went immediately to the Ansonia hotel, where he will make his headquarters during his short visit to the metropolis. He ap- peared to be in superb shape and declared that he felt as good as his looks indicated. Dempsey stated that his welght was in the neighborhoed of 200 pounds. He plans to indulge in light training at a local gymna- sium, dnd probably will do some road running in Central Park in order to keep in condition during his sheért stay here. Dempsey seemed enthusiastic over the prospects of a fight for his title against Harry Wills. The champion expressed a preference for this match over any other, and said he didn't particularly care whén or where the “The matter of ar- ranging detalls Is up to Doc,” said Dempsey, using this nickmame in re- ferring to his manager, Jack Kearns, “Kearns does the matchmaking and attends to all the business connected with the defense of the title. I do the fighting. 1 think we both have plenty to do. I'd fight Wills tomor- row, next week, next month or next year, if Kearns said so. He's the manager, you know, and it is for him to say who, when and where TI'll fight. Tn the interim before I box Wills, or after I fight him, I'll give any heavyweight a chance at the title if the promoters want me to. Says He Is Not Dodging. “I'm not dodging anybody,” contin- ued the titleholdér. *Opponents will be accommodated just as fast as they develop. 1It's up to the promoters to determine who will be the best op- ponent for me, for the calibre of the opponént has an important relation to the success of any fight in which I engage.” Dempsey didn't stay around the sultry city very long. After attend- ing to the checking of his baggage and greéeting a few friends the heavy- weight champion obliterated the evid- ence of his long ride across the con- tinent and went for a motor ride in the cooling atmosphere of Long Is- land, later taking a dip in the ocean. According to present plans, Demp- sey is scheduled to appear in an ex- hibition at Providence Wednesday marking the first of a series of ex- hibitions which have been arranged for him by Kearns. The tour origin- ally was scheduled to open in Boston on Thursday or Friday, bt the appli- cation of Providence for a date on theé champion’'s itinerary was granted by Kearns. The champion will bex Larry Williams, one of his sparring |, partners, in Providence, according to Kearns. Following this engagement, Dempsey, Kearns said, will journey out to Omaha for an exhibitien. The arrival of Dempsey here strengthens the belief that the cham- plon will sign without delay to fight Wills for the title.

The club s the open air arena of the Madison Squaré Garden Company, of which Tex Riekard s the matchmaker. The boxers will be weighed this gt- ternoon at 2 o'clock and Britten will doubtiess scalé 146, while Leonard is expected to weigh 138 péunds. The lightweight champion is ten yegrs younger than thé welter chimplen, but is two inchep’ shorter. In ether physical measuréments there is little difference. Leonard is a harder hittér of the pair, and is considérably faster with hand and féot than the veteran. Britton is superior in the mattér of defénsive skill and is a better ring general than the lightweight. Have Meét Before They have met twice in the rin| ten round decisionless bout in this city in 1917 and a six round decipionless contest in Philadelphia in 1918, There was little to choose between them at the close of the beuts, the older man holding his own and giving as good as was sent. During the four years since their last meeting Leonard has develeped into the mest formidable lightweight in the world, and, while Britton has retained his virility and sped to a surprising degree, yet he doubtless has lost much of the stamina that Ne possessed in former years. His last championship battle {n this eity with the youthful Dave Shade showed the title holder in distress at the close of the fifteenth round. Theé decision of drawn battle rather flat- .tcrerl the champion. _There is no question that Britten will be in fine physical ¢ondition fer the fray, and he may make a petter showing against Leonard than he did against Shade. 'As thé same tirme Leonard will naturally be & much harder proposition than Shade, the latter being young, strong, aggresfive but lacking experience. Judged from all angles, Leonard should win the battle on points if the bout lasts fifteen rounds, and By knockout if the fight ends before the limit is reached. RicRard announces that the arena has seats for 26,000 persems and that the tler system assures all spectsters an obstructed yiew of tHe .ring. 3 WHITE S0X RETURN M'CABE ' Chicago, June 26—Richard McCabe, star pitcher of the Buffale eclub éf the International League, yesterday was sent back to the Buffalo club by the Chicago White Sox.
