The advance seat sale has already begun, and a large number of reservations have been made. Reserved seats were at- a premium for the Memorial Day races, and the fans ore making safe this time by purchasing their seats early. The track has been placed in excellent condition for the coming event, and the prospect Is bright for some keen competition among the drivers Already seven fntries are in, and more coming each day. Four cars which heretofore raced on the Indianapolis speedway will be seen on the local track and tile car which is able to pass them will have to travel at a dizzy gait. The Fronty entered by the Armstrong brothers of Winchester, Indiana, and which showed unusual speed on Decoration Day, will be piloted by one of the Ormshy brothers on July 4. and this is positive proof that tincar will be pushed to the utmost to win. Much interest has been manifest in the local car, and with a veteran driver at the wheel the local owners should carry off a fat portion of the stukes. The races scheduled are for 10, 20 and 30 miles, with fifteen cars starting. The purse for th p three races is $2,500. All cars entered will participate in the elimination trials on the morning of the 4th, with the fifteen fastest cars chosen as starters in the final races. pour world's records wore lowered on the local track May 30th .and with the entries more evenly matched the July 4th races give promise if still faster time. o Barnes Goes Good In British Golf Tourney (United Prens Service) Prestwick Scotland, June 2« -Jim Barnes, chewing the inevitable clever stick, slouched around the IS holes at Prestwick today on his third round in the British open golf championship in 70, for a total of 220.

Tunney Not Heavy Enough For Dempsey By Henry L. Farrell, (U. P. Sports Kditor) New York, June 26. —(United Press) — lan k of weight is the conspicuous deficiency of most of the prominent youngsters who are aspiring for the honors and the big dough of the heavyweight, i lass. Among the contenders for the heuyweight championship, although he is nothing like a youngster, Harry Wills is the only one who finalities as a legitimate heavyweight. Gene Tunney, who has been elevated to a position in the class above Wills, since he knocked out Tom Gibbons, is hardly more than a light heavyweight. He holds the American 175-pound title and would lie fighting at that weight if there happened to be any money in it. Jimmy Slattery, the Buffalo boy, of whom so much is expected in the next three years, is hardly more than a middleweight. Young Stribling, a likely youngster if he is not burned out too soon, is a light heavyweigh. Jim Maloney, the Boston youngster, is also under 190 jiounds, which now seems to he the minimum weight for a good heavyweight. Slattery may fill out. He has not reached his majority yet and has not begun to mature. He has the frame and size for a lot of weight but he hasn't put on much in the last year. Maloney also has the framework for 10 or 15 more pounds but Stribling can't carry much more poundage without getting bulky. Mickey Walker, the welterweight champion, might be built up into a heavyweight if he had more height. He is short and stocky now and it is doubtful that he can carry more than 160 pounds and retain his speed. With Wills out of the way it would lie -a question of a lot of light men about the same weight until some i heavier youngster came along. Class is not all a matter of weight, of course. Dempsey showed that when tie knocked out the ponderous Jes»s Willard and the huge Luis Pirpo. But neither one of them was a good fighter and it was a case of a good 190pounder against a ham 225-pounder or better. The old legend still holds good 11 hat a good 180-pounder cannot beat a good 200-pounder. Weight question is a problem to all fighters, in most cases the champion and the contender have trouble working down to the weight of their class. But in a few cases the fighter lins trouble in putting weight on himself. Tom Gibbons was an unfortunate victim of the lack of weight. When he was in his prime lie was too good for tiie light heavyweights and too light for the heavyweights. If Gibbons had been built larger so he could have ( inied 195 pounds or better he would have been the heavyweight champion. * YESTERDAY’S RESULTS * ++++++++ + + + + + + + National League Pittsburgh, 4; St. Louis, 3.
