Sport Notes
The New England Intercollegiate
Tennis Association needs a directing
hand. There is enoungh enthusiasm
among the colleges, but there seems to
be no one to make the annual tourna
ments really worth-while affairs. An
advisory board would be a big asset.
Then all the rules of the game could
be enforced.

Rogers Hornsby, star second base
man of the Cardinals, is not only lead
ing the National League batters with a
mark of .434, according to the unofficial
averages, which include games played
last Thursday, but lie has also more hits
than any of his rivals. His total to
date was 43.
Jimmy Johnston, third baseman of the
Dodgers, is the leading run scorer in his
league thus far, with a total of 28.
The first triple play in either major
league this season was made on May 18
by Young and Donie Bush of the Tigers,
in a game with the Boston Red Sox.
Wilbur Cooper, left-handed pitching
ace of the Pirates, who defeated the
Dodgers in the opening game of the
series at Ebbets Field last Wednesday,
is now leading the National League
pitchers with six victories and no de
feats. He has won a decision over
every rival club except the Giants.
Harry Heilman of the Tigers, is still
setting the pace for the American League
batsmen with an average of .447.
Ty Cobb, managr of the Detroit
club, is leading the run scorers with
thirty-five tallies. Cobb is the first
player in either major league to make
fifty hits this year.
Only four American League players
have scored four runs in one game this
season. Cobb has done this stunt twice.
He first pulled the trick on May 8 and
repeated it in a game with the Senators
on May 16.
Just think of it! "Chick" Evans and
Francis Ouimet ousted in the second
day's play! Y'es, and Jesse Guilford was
another of our best who could not sur
vive. "Babe" Ruth had a tough time getting
that 13th home run. He failed to con

SHUGRUE WINNER
OYERTILKINGTON
"Johnny" Shugrue of YVaterbury
scored a decisive victory over "Char
ley" Pilkington of Meriden in a slow
15-round bout here last night. Shu
grue forced the milling from the start
and earned honors in 12 rounds, two
going to Pilkington and one being
even. At no time during the bout did
Pilkington appear to be in the run
ning. Shugrue concentrated his at
tack to the body and landed his one
two punch with ridiculous ease. There
were no knockdowns though Pilking
ton was badly beaten about the beau1
and body. Shugrue's punches lacked
the pep and at no stage of the battle
was Pilkington in a bad way.
Pilkington has appeared in this city
several times but last night's showing
was the poorest lie ever exhibited. His
left hand was pressed into service re
peatedly, but did no damage. In only
two rounds did Pilkington attempt
his late round rallies but they were
ineffective. He tried to force Shugrue
to the ropes and score points as in the
last fight but the Wate,rbury boy had
an impregnable defense and invariably
beat his man to the punch. Pilking
ton complained of having injured his
right hand in the 10th and tried to
inflict damage with his left but to no
avail. Despite Shugrue's all-around
superiority the bout did not come up
to expectations. "Mosey" King, box
ing instructor at Yale, refereed and
his decision was greeted with ap
plause. "Home Run" Baker

200 Fight Fans Book
Passage From France
Paris, May 27. Two hundred
French fight "fans" have booked
passage on the steamer Leopoldina,
which will take a representative of
the French government to America
to witness the championship box
ing match between Georges Car
pentier, the French idol, and Jack
Dempsey in Jersey City on July 2.
The French touring bureau es
tablished by the government, how
ever, has decided to guarantee sail
ing of the Leopoldina, hoping that
enough others will be found by
June 16 to make the venture pay.
Carpentier
Speed and
While Dempsey Performs to Big
Crowds Frenchmen Has Only
Camp Aides in Inner Circle
There is only one thing in which
the camps of Jack Dempsey and
Georges Carpentier show marked re-
semblance a Belgian police dog is
the Frenchman's pal at Manhasset,
and two animals of the same breed
are Jack's constant companions at his
Atlantic City amphitheater,
Of course, the fact Georges brought
his dog over from France and that it
served the tri-color with distinction at
Verdun and on other strenuous oc
casions when the history of the world
was being revamped gives the import
ed Flip a cause not to desire com
parison with the Dempsey mascots.
So far as has been noised abroad,
neither of the Dempsey hounds ever
was closer to Europe than an ocean's
breadth. Accordingly ,in this particu
lar item of camp news Carpentier has
the call over his American rival about
forty wavs.
Even a Belgian police dog has right
to be proud of laurels won under
shell-fire. Nobody would blame the
Frenchman's silken haired canine
hero if he should fail even to accord
the inmates of the Dempsey kennel a
bark of recognition if they should
chance to meet before or afte.- the big
Jersey City rumpus. On the other
iiand, American dogdom would be
perfectly justified in staging a jubi
lee solely in honor 01 Flip.
Camps Are Widely Different.
Leave the Belgian dogs out of the
picture, and nothing except an 18-foot
ring with a canvas-covered floor and
perhaps a punching bag or two can be
found at the Manhasset camp that will
remind the visitor of Dempsey's train
ing quarters, with bleachers for paid
patrons and the mighty Atlantic roar
ing incessantly just beyond the in
closurc. For instance, when Carpentier re
marked yesterday in discussing his
quarters :""Oh, it is fine. Plenty fresh
air and milk. See my cows!" he went
a long way toward emphasizing the
difference between his make-up and
that of the heavyweight champion.
f Dempsey had cows in his quar
ters he doubtless would have re
marked: "Great, my cows; such won
derful beefsteak they'll make."
He probably would not have given
the fresh air a thought; and as for
fowls, which abound at Manhasset,
the American pugilist doubtless would
have directed his comments at chick
ens of an entirely different variety.
This is all by way of saying that in
temperament Georges demonstrates
every second of the day that he is
the exact opposite of Dempsey. Im
agine Dempsey shirking a bunch of
newspaper reporters or complaining
that to pose would mar his day of
rest. Not Jacques Dempsey.
The more the merrier is the creed
of Dempsey and his manager, Jack
Kearns, so far as reporters are con
cerned, because the American heavy
weight has been trained to, court pub
licity, and 'he appreciates that the
press is a powerful ally of a bulging
pocketbook for the fighter .
Simple Life for Carpentier.
The simple life that Carpentier is
leading down on Long Island would
as surely wreck Dempsey's nerves as
would the fast pace Jack is clipping
off at Atlantic City spoil the mental
and physical attitude that the French
man hopes to carry with him to
Boyle's "thirty acres."
Carpenlier's cam) site was selected
mainly because it was the quietest
spot that could be found in the imme
diate vicinity of New- York. Demp
sey went to Atlantic City because the
crowds just now are flocking there
and will keep the old turnstile spin
ning during the hours Jack is slam
ming sparring partners about the
ring.
Carpentier has displayed enough in
training to convince those who watch
ed him that Dempsey is going to be
hitting at a mighty shifty target in
his next battle. Georges is as light
as a cat on his feet, as Paul Journee,
one of his sparring partners, noted in
conversation, and he knows how to
handle his arms, body and hands.
He can hit in almost any direction
and he puts a goodly kick to his wal
lops, but he only has 170 pounds to
carry his blows through. Moreover,
in a long battle, the Frenchman is
apt to tire.
There is no doubt, judging by bits
of conversation gleaned around the
Manhasset farm, that the idea of Des
camps is to set a terrific pace from
the first gong and have it all over
quickly, after the manner in which
Carpentier disposed of Beckett, the
English champion. That was a typi
cal one-punch encounter, and the
assertion by Descamps that one blow
will wind up the Jersey City affair
speaks worlds of the French plan of
campaign.
TILDEN BEATEN
BY FRENCHMAN
Paris. May 27. William T. Tilden.
world's singles tennis champion, lost an
exhibition match here this afternoon to
Andre Gobert, French star, by scores of
6 4 and 6 2. The American, however,
did not extend himself at any time, ap
paring to be satisfied with the exercise.
French tennis followers were surprised
in seeing the American team here for
the hard court championships get to
work soon after their arrivaT.
Much attention has been centered
around Mrs. Molla Bjursctedt Mallory.
Her brilliant playing in practice matches
has led critics to predict that Mile. Leg
len, the French wizard, will have to ex
tend herself to the utmost to defeat the
American woman.

Bluenose Will Race
Mayflower to Brazil
Canadian Boat Accepts Challenge of
Yankee for Ocean Meet.
Halifax, N. S., May 27. Captain
Angus Walters, of the Canadian fish
ing schooner Bluenose, has accepted
a challenge by Roy V. Pidgeon, own
er of the Boston schooner Mayflower,
to race to a Brazilian .port and return.
Botli vessels are prospective entries
in the annual North "Atlantic fishing
fleet races for the Dennis Trophy.
The challenge grew out of the
charge made by a Halifax newspaper
that the Mayflower violated the rules
of the trophy committee by not leav
ing port for the fishing banks before
April 30.
Captain Walters suggested that the
two schooners make the return trip
from Brazil laden with salt for the
fishing industry. He also asked Pidge
on to put up a purse.
Boston, May 27. The Mayflower
associates have issued no challenge
for a winter race to the Bluenose or
any other vessel, members of the syn
dicate said in discussing a report
from Halifax, N. S., that the skipper
of the Canadian schooner had agreed
to such a race if a purse were put up
here.

From Grandstand
Richmond, Va., May 27. A
baseball park, the grandstand of
wihch is buil": on piles extending
into the James River, has been
completed for the Richmond Club
of the Virginia League.
Mayo's Island, the scene of the
new baseball park, was once before
used for such purposs, but it was
in the days when Nash, a Rich
monder who became a member of
the Boston Nationals, and other
local diamond stars of bygone days
played here. It was, however, be
fore Tanehill, Chesbro and Jake
Wells played here.
Because of the shape of the
island, it became necessary to build
the greater part of the structure
over the water in the river. There
are two sets of bleachers and the
stand is equipped to seat about
10,000 spectators. From the grand
stand fans may toss fishing lines
into the river and try their luck
at angling while waiting for the
game to start.
NEGRO ATHLETE

Gourdin, Harvard's negro star, was
responsible for a Crimson victory

feet 6 inches, which is 2 inches better
than the mark made in 1899 by A. A.
Kracnzlein, of Pennsylvania. The
American record is 24 feet 8 inches,
established by Sol Butler, a Dubuque
College boy, in the Olympic tryouts
last July.
Lon Lourie, Princeton's football
and track hero, furnished the compe
tition for Gourdin in the "century"
and broad jump, finishing a close sec
ond in the sprint, while Bill Steven
son, who scored victories for the
Tigers in England last year, was the
runner-up in the 220. Gourdin was

yards and 22 3-5 for the furlong.
A fine crowd turned out for the
game, which will be the last staged
until next Saturday, when the fnfer
collegiate championships will be de
cided here, and a lightning fast track
aided the athletes materially.

Vincent Astor Sells Yacht.
The Sabalo, the largest power yacht
in American waters, is fitting out at
the yard of the Consolidated Ship
building Corporation at Morris
Heights. This yacht was built just
before the war from designs by Tarns,
Lemoine & Crane, and that firm is
superintending the outfitting, but de
clines to say whether the yacht has
been sold or whether Major William
Earl Dodge will use the vessel this
year.
The Sabalo is equipped with three
Speedway engines of 365 horsepower
each and has cruised from Bar Harbor
to Cuba. She made a splendid record
during the war when she was lent to
the government by Major Dodge.
Yincent Astor lias sold his power
yacht Cristina to Herman Falk of Mil
waukee through the office of Cox &
Stevens. Mr. Falk intends to do much
cruising this summer. The Cristina
