Ituth got four homers inside of two days. Williams Inside of three and Dkes

record that hasn't been touched this year and is not likely to be.

?(. Louit Cardinals. The hammering Cards were Jacques Fournier,
' Leslie Mann and Rogers Hornsby, of St. Louis, and George Whittcd
and irJon Cruise, formerly of St. Louis.
Long Hitters Did Little Else With Stick
THE players who made two homers iu one game this car geucrally did
nothing else. The exceptions were Jack Grnney, of the Indians: Kenneth
Williams, of the Hrowns; Jimmy Dykes nud Frank Welch, of the Athletics,
and Rogers Hornsby. of the Cardinals. All the American Leaguers got singles
the day they were adding a pair of homo runs to their collection of long hlt,
and the National Leaguer procured a triple. Some of them batted five times,
some four and some three.
The first player this year to get two homers in one game was Howard
Shanks of Washington, at St. Louis, May 18. off Urban Shocker. The blows
merely took a shut-out away from this pitcher. St. Louis winning 7 to J.
Shocker also was located for a brace of four-baggers by Jack Oraney. of the
Indians on May 20. This was the s-econd time John Gladstone had figured
In an act of this kind. The earlier Incident came in 1010 In the Mound City.

THE one fledgling of 1921 tcko has joined the Ttco Home Runs in
One Game Club is Earl llomer Sihcely, of the White Sox. At
Bhibc Park on June 10 he touched Edwin Americus Rommel for a
hrace of quadruples, each made icith Amos Strunk on the runway. The
hits gave the Gleasons a o-to-0 win over the A's.

Racing Popular in Canada
THE thoroughbred heed the call of the Canadian race-courses when the
summer heat begin to Keorch the Western and Eastern tracks, but at
no time In the history of racing In Canada has such a great number of horses
been (.hipped to the Dominion. A number of carloads hnve gone on from
Latouln nnd many of the leading Mnbles in New York will let the Sarutoga
and Empire City meets go by while they Mek the cooler limes across the border.
This should meet with the approval of the Society for Prevention of
Cruelty to Animal, for many of the old sknte that have had their jaws
'sharped by strong-arm Joekeys during the liniment meeting to keep them from
wrnnlog nnd are otherwise iifed up by the campaigns uf the spring will find
their ills alleviated by the cooling breezes of the famom courses in Canada.
There Is no race-course along the seaboard when- the people throng the
boardwalks for the thoroughbreds to disport the silkh, so the Inviting country
to the north hold ranny advantages.
The summer meeting opened Wednesday at Connaught Park, Ottawa,
under the most favorable conditions. Frequent!- a horse wins in Canada
which does not belong to Commander J. K. L. Ross, uho, by the wny. Is the
life of the sport in his own country. Fuder the Dominion lnw racing can onlv
continue In one spot for een days. The next Canadian meeting will begin
nt Hamilton on June 21. Montreal also hns a meeting running concurrently.
Tbe Hamilton meet, however, is the big attraction, as it will hnyc a Derby
and n number of other attractive features. Montreal has another meeting
Staged for July 2.
'THE Canadian people arc fond of racing and the attendance at all
the tracks this year has been unusually large. When the King of
England shall craic to be a patron of thin sport ho will be in danger
of losing popularity in Canada.

HARD TEST FOR
AMATEUR GOLFERS
Survivor of Local Titlo Tusslo
Must Bo at Top Form Against
Strong Field Entered
INTEREST RUNS HIGH
By SANDY McNIBLICK
Something like heat waves seem to
shimmer over the local links loop today.
It's the tingling thrill of excitement
which Is preceding the day this week
for the amateur golf championship of
the Oolf Association of Philadelphia.
Never before has this titular tus
sle aroused quite tho same interest. It
will start over the course of the White
marsh Valley Country Club on Wednes
day, when then' will bo 30 holes medal
play to qualify thirty-two experts of
the district
There will be four ronnds of match
play, the two days following, and on
Saturday the final round over .18 holes'
will be played.
The main reason for the excitement Is I
partly due to the fact that we all know
the "dark horses ' are mnfclna n won
derful showing, thnt nothing surprises
any more, nnd that anybody with n
hag of clubs and the shots when they
count can win.
Keen Field
The nmatcur field in Philadelphia has
never been so strong as It Is right
now with nearly a score of golfers good
enough to grace the titles over the
pack.
Nearly every club has a "comer" It
is boosting for n chance.
Thirty-two of these will get in nnd
fight it out for the most part nt IS holes
where the edge is a halr-nreadtli matter.
Some entries will be Inte and some not
at all. But If nil of the local slmon
purcs to bo mentioned below were to
enter nnd play up to the reputations
they have made you can see for your
self whnt a hectic battlp it's going to
be.
The Line-up
First, there's J. Wood Piatt, holder
of the title. He has bren abroad where
the change from a pitch to a pitch-and-run
approach has "done" for his Iron
shots to an nlnrming degree. Piatt has
been driving much farther than last
j ear, and is nutting great in practice,
but is thoroughly alarmed over the poor
irons he is hitting.
If Max Marston is able to play ninny
sec in him the local who is going the
best right now. Last week he won tho
Lynncwood Hnll tourney, beating Nor
mun Maxwell, George Rntnn and J. J.
Beadlo en route. Thursday he won a
dinner tourney prize by having a chance
for a 00 at .Merlon nud getting a 71.
He's playing around 7i there every
start and backers say he's never played
better than this season. BUT, on tho
other hand, he was beaten for the club
title Dy ij. .m. wastiburn recently.
The latter was In the Philadelphia
semifinals Inst year and was once a fin
alist for the title, so we have another
fccrious contender.
On Deck
There's a number of newcomers near
the top so far this season.
E. Smedley Ward, in his first tour
ney, went to the finals for the Dela
ware County title. II. L. Newton
qualified at Lynncwood and was within
a short putt of beating J. S. Dean at
Wilmington In the scini-tinals there the
same week.
J. J. Beadle went to the Lynnewood
and Atlantic City duals.
Bob Hoffner won his lone tourney
start lu the Patterson Cup chase.
Charlie Reckuer. L. M. Addis and
others arc showiug surprising talent.
Then you hnve to figure Whlteraarsh
players to qualify on their own course,
such as L. L. LMgecomh. Harold
Whe-'er. L. F Deminr. II B. nnd II.
L. Newton, Tred Knight, Atlantic City
wiiiier, Normuii .' i.inwcII, IMutt and
others.
J. II. Gay. Jr.. Paul Tewksbury and
Francis Kemble are golfing better than
ever. Then add these few: Dwlght
Armstrong, W. J. Piatt. Ed Clarey,
Walter Reynolds. C. C. Ingraham,
Eddie Styles. H. B. McFarland, Dr. J.
W. Robb,' Hugh Willoughby. S. W.
and F. Sargent. H, II. Francine. Mor
ris and Spencer Jones, Phil Corson,
Donaldson Cresswell. E. H. Drlggs,
George W. Elklns. John Arthur Brown,
Maurico Rlsley, Tom Wooton, Meredith
Jack, C. II. Calvert and Pat Grant.
If that doesn't present a mean line
up for a stormy golf fete then there
Isn't any such thing.

Champion Will Not Go to Jersey
City Until Day Before
Bout
REFEREE DISPUTE CLEARS
Atlantic City, N. J., June 20. Jack
Dempsey will not Invade Jersey City
for his world's heavyweight champion
ship battle with Georges Carpentier.
July 2, until perhaps twenty-four hours
before the contest, according to plans
announced today by .Tack Kearns, man
ager of the champion. Dempsey will
remain here In his training quarters un
til late in tbe nftcrnoon of the preceding
day.
Kearns has arranged to have Dempsey
and his Immediate handlers spend the
night before the bnttlc in the quiet of
a private homo in Jersey City instead
of- going to a hotel. Dempsey will be
kept in bcclusion from the time nc
reaches the battle ground until the time
for him to go to tbe arena on "Boyle
Thirty Acres."
Dempscy's tteconds probably will be
Teddy Hnyes. his trainer; Jack Renault
and Larry Willinms, heavyweight spar
ring partners; Joe Benjamin and
"Mike" Trant. the Chicago detective
sergeant, who has been the champion's
constant companion in tho training
camp here. Bernard Dempsey nlso may
assist in handling his brother.
Phi'ndelphla Jack O'Brien, former
light heavyweight, was loud in his prnise
today of the physical fitness of Demp
sey. O'Brien boxed one three-minute
round with tho champion yesterday,
and the applause he received when he
ctnwled through tho ropes stirred his
old-time fighting spirit.
"The great part of Dempcsy's hitting
Is that he shoots that right over close
from the inside and follows with an
equall hard left," said O'Rricn. "I
have met them nil in my day. Fitzsim-
mon. oung I'cter JacKson. iiurn.
Ketohell, Choynlski, Mahcr, Ryan and
the rest and none hit as hard us Dcmp
bey does when in bo close. The great
point about Dcmpnoy's fight is that his
offense is his defense.
A compromise on the question of
which referee will officiate nt the bout
seems likely in view of further dcvelop
mtnts in the tangled situation.
There was a general clearing ot me
atmosphere, and both Commissioner
Cbnrles Lyons, wno sam tnat ixew
lersev would nume the referee or cnll
off the bout, nnd Manager Jnck Kearns,
who was equally emphatic on the other
side, wero less bellicose in their atti
tude. The arrival of Robert C. Dohorty.
elinirinnn of the New Jersey Boxing
Commission, helped to calm thettoubleu
waters. Mr. Doherty mpports Com
missioner Lyons in the stand tbe hitter
has tuken, but he uppcurs to be willing
to lihtcn to reabon and to be in n re
ceptive mood for a posslblo compromise.
No outsiders in or out of the boxing
game can come Into New Jersey and tell
the Boxing Commission how to run its
business," the chairman fnld. "We
have nothing to lose if we hnlt the
championship affair right where it
stands today, and that Is what we will
do if wo are threutcned or if there is
ony attempt to bulldoze us or go over
our heads.

NEEDS A FRIEND
GEORGES HAS NEW
TRAINING
METHOD
Carpentier Know3 His Ability,
So Spends Time Developing
Power and Morale
ADOPTS HOPPE SYSTEM
Manhassct. N. T., Juno 20. A ques
tion oft asked nt the trainging camp
of Georges Carpentier is. Why
doesn't he let out his punches nnd drop
u few sparring partners?" This query
probably was prompted by the nature
of the work down nt. the Dempsey camp
In Atlantic City, where Jnck has
bowled over quite a few of his work
out opponents.
Only once during his training has
Georges really shown all his strength
and speed. This was In the sparring
session with Joe Jeannettc two weeks
ago.
Jeannettc was a mark that day for
the Frenchman's flying right hand, and
after thirty seconds of sparring he
nnnirlit nne on the law and fell heavily
to the ring floor. Georges begged his
pardon and slowed down. That flash
has not been repeated. There Is nothing
of the spectacular in the sparring ses
sions. The chnllcngcr seems content to
swap punches nnd do a lot of covering
up and getting away.
The reason for this sort of training
is no longer a secret. From the camp
! has come tho information that Georges
is being trained something nfter the
fnshion of a chess master or a billinrd-
1st.
explaining what he meant by this,
he Informant, who iihkcd that his iden
titj be withheld, said:
"Willie Hoppo knows all about the
gume of billiards. He knows he can
make tho most difficult of shots nnd
doesn't start six weeks before a match
and practice right up to the last mo
ment. He just gets himself nt a certain
stage of the game, then quits and trains
to develop his powers of endurance and
his nerves.
"A chess master is somewhat similar.
He doesn't summon nil the good chess
players in the country and play prac
tice matches with them, does he? No,
he knows his gnmc ntul he trnins like
Hoppc does for a billiard match.
"Georecs Carpentier has been In the
I ooxing game .or .uur,. ,..
"-- " "...
lOO. WI1UI HU Ml" i. ..'u id iuw- u..
reason in the world why he should fill
bis camp with sparring partners and
slam away at them everv day? His
trainers arc developing his powers und
his morale, the latter being so vital in
a big light of the sort thnt will come
on July 2. All his knowledge of the
fighting game nd his strength could not
be brought to command if his mind were
not right."

"Reds" Welnert Wins Great
Game in Montgomery County
League by 1 to 0
HOHLFELD TOPS INDUSTRIAL
Conshohocken is coming at a fast clip
In tho Montgomery County Baseball
League, and, according to Secretary
Eddie Hyde, tho fine showing of the
team means much In placing "Conshy
right In tho forefront of athletics once
more. Almost BOOO wild nnd pop-eyed
fanatic fans witnessed Saturday's 1-0
victory of "Reds" Welnert over Amb
ler and tho team has jumped Into tho
first division.
Hctsell, formerly of Kalamazoo,
pitched for Ambler nnd yielded but
three hits, but, ono of these came
at tho psychological moment In tho
ninth nnd the works were all In when
Third Baseman Williams spccdll
scampered across tbe pan with the win
ulng counter.
The big surprise of the day In the
Plko circuit was the 18-4 lambastlnt
handed Chestnut Hill at Lansdnle.
Dave Bcnnls' pitching nee, Gcoghrn.
started for the IllllCrs nnd hit three
men In tho first frame. The only tblnj
Gcoghrn hod was his glove. With two
in and two oh nnd no one out, Howard
Perry was elected to twirl and It was
soon learned that as a pitcher ho is a
good inflelder. Before he retired the
side nine more runs hsd crossed the
plate. Ho hurled the entire game.
Hohlfeld Still Leads
The big game in the Industrial
Amateur League brought Olmbel and
Hohlfeld together. The store boys were
out to hand tho first defeat of the sea
son to tho hammockers and O'Neill,
their pitching star, was alt primed for
tho fray. Monte Cross' protoges made
an auspicious getaway with four runs
and the Glmbel victory stock was given
a big boost.
But Hohlfeld demonstrated, as in
every other game played this year, that
they were strong ot the finish nnd won
easily by tho score of 14 to 8. Wamboeh
and Hughes were the stars for Hohl
feld. The former had four hits In as
many trips to the place, and Hughes'
guarding of the Initial sack was the
best of the year.
A team in the Industrial League that
bears watching is the Supplee-Biddlo
comDtnatlon. They walloped tne recon
structed Ivlns combination 10 to 2, nnd
the Cake Workers now hnve one of the
best teams in tho city. Coc. of the
Blddlc team, allowed but two hltu and
renlly deserved a shut-out.
Liggett and Rtidd Tie

former defeated Commercial Truck, 10
to 4, and the latter won from De Frnln,
13 to 4. The one-sided victories came
entirely unexpected, especially, as tho
losers had been coming to the fore very
rapidly with a fin a brand of ball.
Western Union kept in the winning
with a 7 to 0 victory over Hatch Motor.
O'Xell for the motorists pitched a great
gome, funning thirteen, but lost just
the same. His teammates made a fine
rally In tho ninth which netted four
runs, just one shy of tlelng Western.

GOLF COURSES OF U. S.
DIFFER FROM BRITISH
- ...,. ,
English Believe Fairways
Americans Think Hazards Should Bo Confined
to Left or Right Luck Big Element in Success
London, Juno 20.
"DIGOTRY and Intolerance still play
their part In humou affairs. One
nation can't understand why other na
tions should think differently about
tho same subject. Tho English can't sco
baseball nnd we can't see cricket.
Therefore, to the American cricket Is
a terrible thing and to tho English base
ball Is even worse. Whereas, both
happen to bo very flno gamcB for tho
people who play and know thorn.
FOR a golf course, tho British believe
largely In dips and knobs, sharp
rises nnd deep hollows down tho mlddlo
of their fairways. Nature left many
of their courses so, and they string
along with nature. Tho British idea Is
that ono should know how to play from
every typo of terrain.
Wo can sco their Idea to n certain
extent, but wo like tho American way
better, where fairways, if rolling, aro
nt least not nearly so bumpy.
To us It looks to he raircr gou. yno
man gets a fine drlvo nnd is left with a
level He. Tho opponent, just as straight,
drives five yards further and has to uso
a tnashle in placo of n brassle to clear
some sudden, abrupt upheaval In tho
soil. Luck plays a big enough factor
as It Is. It would bo well enough to
have theso abrupt dips and rises to the
right nnd left of the course, with tho
middle left open.
THERE is far from being any strong
unanimity between countless golfers
In Great Britain and the ruling com
mittee. Tho disagreement is frequently
wide, but the R. and A. rules with an
Iron hand. There Is deep dissatisfaction
In many quarters over retaining tho
present list of championship courses,
many of which are considered out of
date. We arc not hero offering thfi
opinions of Americans, but of British
players. But there will probably bo no
chaugo for some time to come, dcsplto
the fact that some of the greatest
British courses, courses much better
than types such as Hoylake and Deal,
arc not on'tbo list.
THERE is still another difference. To
the British the most skillful shot in
golf Is tho pitch and ruu. lo tnc
American it Is the backspin npproacn
close against the pin. "Your courses."
remarked Cyril Tolley, "aro not built
for our best type of stroke. Ours arc
not built for your best method of ap
proach. I fancy that has more than n
little to do with the failure ou both
sides where each is iu the enemy coun
try. I could not use the pitch and ruu
effectively nt the Engineers' Club, and
that accouuts largely for my downfall
there."
I
N SPITE of these differences, the in-
Travis, Hilton. Vnrdou nnd Ray have
proved that these handicaps can be
overcome by the visiting golfer. The
British have three championship vic
tories In America to our ono In Eng
land, but that doesn't mean thnt
America will cease firing or that Great
Britain is satisfied with her few suc
cesses. TIIF three greatest counts in Great
Brltniii today arc Westward Ho,
