Golf experts writing in the big Eng- Ush dailies, give Walter Hagen plenty of credit for his aecéomplishment in winning the British open event, last week.

Jack Lash; and a party of friends, left this morning for New York; to gttend the Britton-Leonard bout tp- might at the Velodrome. A year ago this time, the fans were esiting Ruth, the Babe, now some of them refer to him as a “Boob.” Two really great champions meet tenight at the Veledrome, New York, in a 15 round battle, when Jack Brit- ton, welterweight title holder, will de- fend his crown against Benny Leon- ard, lightweight king. It will be a de- eision affair. Both men have hundreds of follow- ers in this city. Britton, a former local boy, is fast reaching the age in life, when an athlete begins to show the eftécts of Father Time. Being a clean living ring performer, Britton may be able to stand off the Hebrew, and re- tain his title. . There is one noticeable thing about tonight's affair, that the New York wtiters have not gone plumb loco ovér the bout. There have ben several vigws of experts given that the affair leems up like, “the ring version of the dance of the seven veils,” while an- other alluded to it as a “no hit con- test.” . Britton has everything to lose and ~fothing to gain in tonight's affair. If Re¢ loses his title it gées to Benny, while on thé other hand a victory will Paring him nethimg but prestige, and probably some added dollars in the future. iy Thé welterweight king has finished Ris training at While Sulphur Springs #t Baranac, N.

Jerry Coffey, who has of late ad- mitted a closé friendship for “Dumb DAn” Morgan, manager of Jack Brit- ton, is in New York, and from all ac- eounts will attend tonight's mill. Gerry Crean pitched swell baseball for the Chester team against Say- Pprook last® Satutday, winning 5 to 4. The deluge of yésterday morning .put St. Mary's grounds in such a con- ditien that Manager Frank J. McConn of the Kaceys was forced te postponé thé schéduléd game with the Ameri- ean Chain company of Bridgeport. From all aeccounts the Baird-Kap- lan bout at Bridgeport next Thursday night, will attract @ much better erowd than that in attendance when the boys clashed on May 29, The af- falr promises to be a lively one, with many expecting that the Seattle boy will reverse that decislon rendered against him in the previous meeting. Judging from the Interest locally in the Britton-Leonard bout, it Is go- ing to be a case of getting to the ticker room early to get the hest spot to hear the returns tonight. Frederickson turned in one of the best games of his career In the Hard- ware City lLeague Saturday, He occu- pled the mound for the Mount Pleas- ants and twirled airtight ball all the way through.

In iaturday's game between the Corbin cam and the Echoes of Hartford, here wasn't a kick against any of his lecisions by either team, which in tself speaks mightily for the way ‘Red” handled his decisions. The Herald and Gas Co. nines will kick the dust around at Walnut Hill Park tomorrow evening in the Hard- vare City Industrial league. The Kaceys will practice at St. Mary's field tomorrow evening at 7 2'clock. All members of the team are requested to report. The Emeralds defeated the Beavers 't Wainut Hill Park ysterday by the sjcore of 4 to 2. Hinchey and Kane were the battery for the winners and Begley, O'Neil and McGraw worked for the losers. Beagle's work Saturday for the Pirates was the feature of the game. The former High school star lined out three hits out of three trips to the plate, one going for a homer and an- other for three bases. The focal boy has been hitting the old pill in healthy fashion this season, and his work with the High schoet team will be long remembered. Much is ex- pected of him during the present baseball season. Jimmy Chalmers manages to be heard from once in a while these days. His twirling ability still remains with him judging from the way he handled himself in Saturday's game against the Echoes of Hartford. Jim- my made his first start of the season Saturday and extricated himself in fine fashion in the ninth when the bases wereloaded and none was out. With three on, Jimmy struck out two and made the last man tap an easy grounder down to Patrus at sec- ond, making the third out of the EXPECTED TO SIGN Managers of Both Dempsey And Wills To Meet Today or Tomorrow—Ix- press Readiness For Contest.

Louls, June 26.—~An avalanche of hits by the Cardinals buried the Cubs under an 11 to 1 score yester- day. The Chicago team showed a com- plete-reversal of form and their fleld- ing was far from good. This, com- bined with Sherdel's excellent pitch- Ing and the St. Louls team's hitting, accounted for the overwhelming de- feat. Fournler and Smith were the heme run hitters.

Articles are being drawn up and are expected to- day. In the event that the documents do not require correction, the match will be signed tomorrow, according to Rickard. Manager Kearns has ex- pressed his readiness to sign at once. Mullins Opposes Delay. Paddy Mulling, manager of Wills, is opposed to delaying the bout one year, or until next spring, but Rickard said yesterday that he did not expect any difficulty in impressing upon Mullins the necessity for thus postponing the bout. Rickard added that he expect- ed Mullins to sign an agreement sim- ilar to that which will be submitted for Dempsey’'s approval. The time and place for the bout will not be stated in the agreement, Rickard said. ‘“We'll sign just as soon as we are asked to,” said Mullins last night at his home. “We want the fight and the chagpe at the titls, and we're ready to" do anything within reason to get what we are after. I don't, however, see the necessity for delay- ing the bout a year. I have told Rickard so. I want the fight without delay; the quicker the better. “If it is impossible to hold the hout before election before obvious reasons, what assurances are forthcoming that the bout will be permitted after elec- tion? That's what I want to know. It sounds like a weak excuse for an unnecessary delay.

The score was tied in the ninth when the local mur- derer's row came to bat. l'u to this time, the local team had been out- flelded, but they had the spirit and they went in to win, Griffin, the first man up, fell a vietim to Flanigan's curves, The clever twirler became a little bit shaky with Carrazo, the next batter, and gave him a free ticket to first. The wiry catcher immediately stole second. Then Jackson, with two O |strikes on him, connected for a crash to right field that scored Carrazo and put the game on lce, The game was a pitchers” battle Jimmy Chalmers, at one time the premier twirler of the city, showed a world of stuff and delivered the goods in the ninth inning with the bases full when he held his op- ponents scoreless, M “Red" Campbell called de- cisions and not a single kick reg- istered by either side, which is good evidnce that “Red” was watching them pretty close.

The game was a pitchers' battle between Hamlin and Datoli until the eighth in- ning when the local team score one run on a wild throw.

The Colliers of this city were de- feated yesterday afternoon in that town by the score of 4 to 3. Errors by Budnick, Jasper and Solinski of the local team accounted for three of the cause of the downfall of the local team. Kania, the local twirler pitch- ed excellent ball, but the misplays of his teammates lost the game for him. The Aces gave their pitcher good sup- port all the way through and their clever base running brought them around so that they were able to score when the misses came, Cunningham, pitching for the Aces, held the loeal team safe, giving them only five hits and keeping them well scattered.

MARINE INVENTIONS The Steamer Bembridge Is Excellent Example of New Plans of Moders Shipbuilding. Sydney, N. 8. W., May 19. (By Mail) —Striking examples of marine inven- tions performed during the last days of the war are demonstrated on the steamer Bembridge which is in pert here. Her foremast is placed several feet starboard of the keel to mislead sub- marines, and her funnel, much shorter than that of the average steamer of her tonnage, is over the keel so that is is impossible to tell by looking through the periscope of a submarine which way the steamer is proceeding. Smoke may be diverted from the tunnel to a passageway near the wat- erline so that the vessel may make an effective smoke screen in emer- gencies, McCAFFERY’S FUNERAL.
