Here are some of them: He wants to fight all the as- pirtng heavyweights who may think they have a chance with him; he wants to knock out Jens Willard; he wants to go out West and back to his old job in the shipyards; he wants to tour the country and box anybody and everybody for the various war funds; he wants to go to Europe and do some ring fighting there for the benefit of the soldier boys; he wants to Might Georges Carpentier in Paris. Never was there such an ambitious fighter. Any one of these things might keep him busy for weeks, but evidently he hasn't taken time into consideration. Wither that or Jack Kearns, his man- ager, is overdoing the preas agenting for him, Managers have that fault Right after Dempscy’s knockout of Fulton, Kearns professed to have but one thing on his mind for Jack, That was to co West and box at a big San Francisco tobacco fund show pro- moted by Jim Coffroth. He may still be sincere in such Intentions, but we ean’t help wondering how he can start West and at the same time sat- isfy his latest ambition to co abroad and fight for the soldiers there. Dempsey may not be to blame for the managerial plans of Jack Kearns, Just now he is down at Long Branch enjoying himself in the ocean, He intends to stay there for a fow weeks more. Jack has taken quite an inter- est in little Frankie Burns, who has been training at the same place for his bout to-night in Jersey City. He has boxed with the little fellow daily, and otherwise helped to condition him. He even promised Frankie he would make the trip up to Jersey City to second him to-night against Pal Moore. “He's a grand big fel- low,” says Burns.

(Speriat to The Evening World.) SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 2. OAMER has earned his notch in R the Hall of Fame, This gallant little gelding carrying 129 pounds won the Saratoga Handicap and hung up a new track record of 2.02 1-6 for the mile and a quarter course and beating his old mark of 2.04 made in 1914, By winning this event he earned the right to a triple crown for it was his.third victory for this race in four years. Age seemingly cannot dull nor place a rough edge on Roamer’s speed. He is now in his seventh year, the sere and yellow leaf period among thor- When most race horses are physical’ wrecks, Roamer, worthy of being distinguished as the “Iron Horse of America,” keeps on weekly adding laurels to his long string of triumpha, ‘phere have been great horses of other years, champions of speed and endurance, such Colin the unbeat- en, Sysonby, the speed marvel, Artful, queen of queens, Hamburg, the found- ation of John Madden's fortune and many others, but not one of this mighty brigade of descendants in straight line from the Adam of thor- oughbreds, the Godolphin Arabian, a stallion born on the Sahara Desert, Africa, more than 200 years ago, ever Saratoga Handicap, three times, Whisk Broom IL won three events all in one season, Kinley Mack captured two in less than two weeks, but each horse was at the top of his form at time, Age, like rust, was not clogging up thelr joints and each It Is only necessary to look back over Roamer’s record in the Saratoga Handicap to note how t have been his performances. Hig speed, like the brook, has rippled on gaining force and strength with each succeeding year, His time for the mile and a quarter has been beaten by Whisk Broom Il, who is eredited with 2.00 when he won the Surburban Handicap at Belmont Park, But there was a great big “if” in connection with Whisk Broom’s time, “If” he accomplished it, nobody but Timer etto stid he did. All the other timers—and t were legion made the time four sefnds slower, But Barretto was the official timer, and thg time he bung out was placed as oM Ml, Nevertheless, the trainers received the time with their tongues in thelr cheeks.

Roamer showed his quality by wi ning at Belmont Park's spring me ing of 1913 and again at Saratoga when he won the ‘Special.’ ” Pittsburgh Boys Won Out at Boston in the Twenty-first Session. ext in importance to Roamer's great triumph was the victory of Billy Kelly for the Flash Stakes worth $4,000. Billy ly is a bay gelding by Dick Welles-Glena and is owned by W. F, Polson of Buffalo. Like Roamer, Billy Kelly was bought for the proverbial song. One lay, when he was a year old, Billy Xelly. then unnamed, stood in a paddock owned by his breeder, Rome Respess, of Kentucky, with six other young- sters, W. Perkins, the colored man awho trains for Polson, gave the to-be Billy the once over and said; ‘uy give you $1,600 for that youngste | “Shake,” said Respess, and the deal was clinched. “Since then Billy Kelly has start- ed six times and won five races, He won his first four starts easily, In his previous race he was nearly knocked down; in the Flash he tagged on the heels of High Time and My Friend until half way down the stretch and then passed them as though they were hitched to a post, racing the five and a half furlong course in 1,05 3-5, which equalled the track record, Billy Kelly combines speed and endurance in his pedigree, as his sire, Dick Welles, was one of the fastgst horses that ever raced in the West. Billy's dam, Glena, traces back to Longfellow. The other six yearlings, the companions of Billy in the paddock, were bought by Jeffer- son Livingston and have got to make a name for themselves, Such is the good and bad features in buying yearlings, BOSTON, Aug. 2.—A world’s record for big league baseball of twenty in- nings without a run being scored by either team was made by Pittsburgh and Boston, Pittsburgh making two runs in the twenty-first inning and winning by a score of 2 to 0, The pre- vious no-score record was eighteen innings. This was the longest National League game played in this city. Schmidt opened the twenty-first in- ning by singling to left. Cooper, who had relieved Mayer in the sixteenth as pitcher for Pittsburgh, forced Schmidt at second. m was thrown out, Cooper taking second on the play and Feaching thjrd on Leach's single to deep short? Carey's single to left scored Cooper and Southworth's single to center scored Leach. Nehf pitched the full distance for Boston, and until the last inning held Pittsburgh to eight hits, In the twelfth Pittsburgh failed to work the squeeze play, Southworth being tagged out at the plate on Mollwitz’s bunt, Nehf to Wilson, In the second half of that in- ning J. C. Smith bunted fair on the third strike and Massey, who had been on third, crossed the plate; but Quig- ley, the umpire, rued that Smith had interfered with Schmidt's attempt to field the bunt. Smith was declared out and Massey was ordered back to third, Boston had nineteen men left on the bases and played errorless bali, while brilliant support saved Mayer in sev- eral innings.

They beat the Tigers easily 7 to 0, couting three pitchers for twelve solid hits. Ray Caldwell has at last reached winning form, He made a fine show!nc in the tle game at Cleveland Sunday, but to-day he was even better, He neld the slugging Tigers to two hits, and they never threatened to score.
