BETTS A HERO OF

SWATFEST SUNDAY fBig Pitcher Holds Middletown to One Run and Leads in the Attack. r 'The Middletown leaders in the K. I. O. league Buffered their first defeat fof the season yesterday afternoon on KAthletica field at the hands of the reju venated' locals. Col. J. Braxton's hired men swat the ball with much eclat and vigor and buried the champs under a counted just once, in the ninth, when Eetts let down a little to spare the vis itors Khe humiliation of a shutout. The vdownpour of base hits off the bats of 'the locals was as vigorous as Ph-cv outpwt of wet manufactured by the leather-man. The rain began falling tany in me contest auu conunueu fthrougliout the game, but it made no difference to the Richmond swatsmen. Or the other hand it considerably pdamperued the spirits of the Middies. Richmond took kindly to Heisman's lettering' and in the sixth he was yankWd and Merz went on the mound, but ahe locals went after him just as vigPorosuly touching him up for two runs. The feature of the game was the jbplendHrl work of Hefts in all departments. He held the hard hitting Middies to five hits and was a demon at ah bat. In four times up Betts banged lout a, triple, double and single. His rthree bagger was one of the longest pits ever made at Athletic field. It f!wouId have been a home run for most players, but Mr. Betts has to carry considerable excess baggage when traveling the bags. He sprinted to third with all the majesty of a steam roller leu his long drive and arrived there hefare the ball had been returned to the infield, amid the acclaim of citieens and lady bugs. There is a move ment on foot today to run the Hon. 3Ir. BettB for mayor on the Progres sive, Democratic and Republican ticklets. Score: Richmond.

EVERYTHING READY FOR FISTIC SCRAP Both Flynn and Johnson Say They Are Ready to Enter Ring on Fourth. BY ED. W. SMITH. EAST LAS VAGAS, N. M., July 1. "This will be the last boxing I will do until the afternoon of July 4th, and I want everybody to know that I am ready for this battle In better shape, in fact, than ever I was before. Further, I'm going to win, for I feel it in my bones, but if I should be unfortunare enough to be beaten you can bet I will be tearing in and not going away when it happens." With these words addressed to the mob of at least 2,000 persons at Montesuma yesterday afternoon, Jim Flinn closed his boxing work and practically his entire training for the Johnson battle of Thursday afternoon. The applause was deafening at the close. There were so many people at Flynn's beautiful place that they were walking on each other's heels. At least sixty per cent of the throng was made up of women. Tommy Burns, former champion of the world, will be here within 48 hours. It was announced last night that Burns would be in Charge of the Flynn cornered during the scrap. Burns probably will be the only exchampion on the ground, now that Jim Corbett has announced definitely that he cannot be here. That Flynn is in great 6hape is absolutely certain now. Only a glance is necessary to show this.

Last night Tom Flanagan of Toronto, in charge of the affairs at Jack Johnson's camp, got his first peep at the challenger. Flynn is happy and confident and cannot see defeat at all. "There won't he a minute in that contest when Johnson will make me bfck up," Flynn told the throng at his camp yesterday. "I'll carry the fight to him and it will be him or me in short order. I'm absolutely confident of winr'ng but if I meet with misfortune you can be sure that I'll be just as big a man in defeat as he is in victory." Flynn told me yesterday afternoon he had a dream that pleased him. He ; dreamt that he defeated Johnson in three rounds. "This makes me think that I'll Win to a certainty because dreams always come by opposites and while I may rot win in three rounds, I'm liable to win in thirty. Just you watch and see," was the challenger's confident statement. Flynn boxed seven rounds yesterday in addition to the heavy work on the light and . heavy bags, the skipping ropes and the medicine ball, as well as the warming up work in the handball court. He went two rounds with Abdul the Turk, two with Ray Marshall and three with Al Williams. Flynn will go through the regular gym stuff every day until Wednesday just to keep limbered up, but will do uo more boxing. T hat same old quiet spirit of confidence prevails in the Johnson camp. "If Johnson has any worries or frets on his mind he is actor enough not to show them. If his old punch isn't there and if Johnson knows it, it isn't worrying him. I guess there isn't a single care there and it looks as if he will fight in just that very mood. Jack went out on the road again as u-mal yesterday morning and in the afternoon gave the customary display in his Alfresco gym. He boxed three lounds with crippled George Debray, four with Calvin Raspess and three with Marty Cutler, who is rapidly recovering from an attack of blood poisoning. Jack told me he intends to keep up his work right up to Wednesday altncugh he may cut the road work about in two. Polo Is Ancient. Polo was played from the backs of horses in Persia during the tenth and eleventh, centuries. At that time the Persians in a great contest, Iran versus Turan. found their match in the Turks, greatly to the disgust of King Afrasiab. The Byzantine poet Nizami sung of polo in the twelfth century. Then polo spread from Persia Into central Asia, India and Tibet in the sixteenth century, when the great Emperor Akbar patronized it. In Japan the game is at least 1.000 years old and is still popular under the name of da-kin. WERE YOU BORN IN THE SUMMER MONTH OF JULY?

Sporting Gossip

BASE BALL NOTES. Pat Dougherty, the former White Sox gardener, is managing a semi-pro fessional team at Hornell, N. Y. Hugh S. Jones has succeeded Donald C. Despain as president of the Lincoln club in the Western league. Right Fielder Wynn, of the Muskogee team, is leading the Oklahoma State league in" batting, with an average of .430. The American Association is displaying two crackerjack speed merchants this season in Capron, of Milwaukee, and Shelton, of Columbus. In Catcher Basham the Clarksville team in the Kitty League, has another Chief Meyers. Masham has clouted five homers in eleven games. Pitcher Joe Conselman, of Brown University, who has signed with the Pittsburg Pirates, won 18 and lost 4 games for his college in two seasons. Another Walter Johnson is to join the big show. The Racine club of the Wisconsin-Illinois League, has sold Pitcher aWlter Johnson to the Chicago White Sox. Losing thirteen straight games was the undoing of Pitcher Saint, of the Greenwood Cotton States League team. He got the axe before he could make it fourteen. Pitcher Weitman, of the Maysville (Ky.) team, who stands 6 feet 6 inches, has beensold to the St. Louis Cardinals. He is known as the "skyscraper" of the Blue Grass League. The Northwestern League teams are running a real pennant race this season. Less than "5 points separating the first from the last team in the standing shows some traveling. In a recent game between York and Columbus in the Nebraska State League, Davis, of York, was credited with two home runs, one three-bagger, two two-base raps and a single a total of sixteen bases. "Grandfather" Hogriever is still in the game, playing third base and managing the Appleton (Wis.) team. History tells us that the day before De Soto discovered the Mississippi river, he spent the day watching "Hoggy" hitting fungoes to a bunch of Indians. When several Hiawatha (Kas.) players were released recently a local editor told them not to feel that all was lost; that the country would soon need a lot of harvest hands. The ball tossers got back by sending the editor 25 cents for a hair cut. The Boston Nationals have purchased Arthur Bues of the Buffalo club. Playing with Seattle last season Bues led the Northwestern League in batting with an average of .352. He was tried out by the Giants last spring and released to the Bisons. "Red" Corridon, formerly of the St. Louis Browns, now playing with the Kansas City Blues, is likely to get another trial in the big leagues. Russell Ford, the star heaver of the Highlanders, has been watching "Red" and believes the Indiana boy will fit with the Yankees. Inducement. "Did dat man offer any Inducement to git you to buy dat mule?" "Yaas indeed," replied Mr. Erastus Plnkley. "He give me his membership in association dat pervides a han'somc funeral for anybody dat belongs to It." Washington Star. Worse Punishment. Mrs. A. Do you ever scold your husband? Mrs. B. Not now.

ALLEY PROBLEM IS CONSIDERED AGAIN Board Hears Suggestion to Have Women Inspectors for Alleys Named. A districting system of the city, and a woman resident to be placed in charge of each district, to watch all alleys and make reports of their conditions, is the suggestion of City Attorney Gardner as a solution of the alley complaints. The board discussed this proposition this morning, but did not make any further headway. This matter will be up again. Several of the alley improvements which were objected to by the owners of abutting

real estate, called the attention of the board to the poor condition of the alleys of the city. Several alleys condemned by the board of health as unsanitary, mere discussed by the board of works. The alley north of Main, from Eleventh to Twelfth streets was ordered made. Remonstrators succeeded in defeating the making of a cement alley from D to E streets between North Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. This will be taken to council for actien. An alley between South Second and Third streets from A to B streets, was ordered made next year. A contractor wishing to tear up West Fifth street on the east side, was given permission to do so if he would place a bond of $500 for security In picking up and rolling the Ftreet after the taps had been placed. North Nineteenth street from Main to A. wiU be picked up and repaired with crushed stone. The street gang will go to North E street and repair this bad street from Sixteenth to Twentieth street, after finishing North Nineteenth street. Plenty of nice Spring Chickens at Schwegman's Meat Markets. l-3t GORMON IS OPPOSED When Supt.
