. NEW YORK, May 20. (Speo'al.)
Jack Dempsey left on the 20th Cen
tury Limited for California this after
noon, and the last thing he said as
he left gladsome Gotham was: "I'm
going home to see mother and I'm
not going td stop at Denver to see
Miss Edith Rothwell. There is no
such beautiful ma'd. I will have to
confess that I was spoofing the boys
last night when I told them .there
was such a dainty person attending
Boulder college.
She's aGlrl of His Dreams.
"Edith Rothwell Is just a sweet
heart of my kidding imagination. She
never existed. I give you my word on
that. Tou know, they've hooked me
up in marriage with every woman in
the world from the queen of Bavaria
to Bessie McCall of Suicide Hall. It
got to be a joke after a while. I just
thought I'd beat 'em all to my latest
engagement, so I created the beautiful
Edith Rothwell."
Dempsey was full of Europe and the
treatment accorded him as he played
host at the Ansonia before train time.
"That Joe Bennett man of ours all
"but ruined us socially, said Dempsey,
as he sprawled on the floor of his
suite, trying to keep his two white
English bulldogs on friendly terms
with the big bob-tailed German hot
dog, which absolutely refused to fra
ternize. He was for doing his level
best at the throats of the two thorough-bred
English fighting dogs.
Hot-Dog, What!
"Let me tell you what he did at the
embassy, the smartest club in Lon
don. All blue-blooded members, and
you couldn't get in with T. N. T. if
you weren't invited by a member.
"Well, they were giving us a din
ner. Benjamin here was sandwiched
in between Lord Castleton, an Irish
blue-blood, and the duke of Man
chester. The Irish question came up
and it (rot hot between the duke and
the lord. Benjamin had taken a shine
to the Irish lord, was calling him
'kid' and his 'sparring partner.'
F.'.nally Joe advised the lord that he
shouldn't take any guff from the
duKe and suggested that he paste him
in the glimmer, and the lord amazed
the sedate English company by sock
ing the duke right in the eye.
Duke Is Knocked Dead.
fhcy straightened them out, but
a little later Kearns and I missed the
duke, the lord and our brave Joe, and
we hunted for them. We got out in
the reception room just in time to
hear Joe coaching Lord Castleton as
his lordship was knocking the duke
dead.
"Another time, in a swell club, one
of the duke's friends came in spiffed.
A nobby edge on. He was a clown
blue-blood; we got that right off, for
he got out on the looking glass floor
and balanced a bumper of champagne
on his bald dome. Of course, that was
enough for Benjamin. He up with a
bun and with a dead center shot
broke the glass all over his dukelet
"The duke didn't bat an eye, just
filled another glass and balanced her
again on his knob. Pop went another
bun, and 11 different times Joe pot
shotted the glasses. It was most un
dignified in Joseph, but their duke
ships and lordships laughed them
selves silly. They thought it bally
good sport 'dontchaknow,' " said the
big champion as he adjusted the mon
ocle given him by Lord Castleton.
Kearns Right at Home.
"And Doc Kearns there," continued
Dempsey, "why, he seemed right at
home. He danced with Lord Some
body s wife, Lady Mary, at Ciro's in
Paris. Doc put on the Chicago, the
Camel and other jazz steps and shifts
and Lady Mary just thought Doc was
too cute for anything. He kept slap

are the limit in London. They spend
their lives collecting them. Once I
was chased down several blocks to

around a cab to double on them they

OREGON FRESHMEN DEFEAT
ED, 72 H POINTS TO 49,.
Aggie First-Year Men Too Strong
in Field Events. Ineligibility
Bars Several From Teams. '
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., May 20. (Special.); Although
the Oregon freshmen won first place
in all the dashes and took the one-
mile relay race by a wide margin, the
Aeeie rooks were too strong in the
field events and emerged on the long
end of a 72 to 49V4 score
dual meet here Friday aftrenono. Sev
eral members of both teams were I
ruled out under ineligibility rules of j
the Pacific coast conference. Oregon j
lost Virden and Christmas. Virden j
was the star man of the freshmen
this year, and he had been working i
hard in preparation for the meet.
During last year's track season he j
was a student at fomona college n j
California, but was net on their track
team. For the Oregon Aggies,
Delphey, Nichols and Clougb were
forced to sit on the bench, due to
the same ruling. These three men
were all attending California Institu
tions last year. i
No exceptional time was maae m
any of the track events, in spite of
the fact that the track was In first
c)as3 condition. The Oregon fresh
men took first place in the 100-yard
dash, when Breakey nosed out Roms-
by of the Aggie babes. Carruthers,
running a pretty race in the 220-yard
dash, was an easy victor, and Har
denburg, for Oregon, had little diffi
culty taking the 440-yard dash.
The rooks took all three places in
the shotput and first and second
places In both the high and low hur
dle events. The 880-yard run wa one
of the prettiest races of the after

PICKING CP DIAMOND DUST.
Kisberg and Jackson Lively Two
Who Were Never Able to Keep
. , Uniform in Good Shape.
The average player probably Isn't
greatly concerned about his personal
appearance on the ball field. But here
again we find extremes. Swede Rls
berg had a knack of acquiring dirt
cn the exterior of his uniform which
was amazing. Let him step straight
from the laundry onto the ball field
pnd by the end of that afternoon you
might think he had been dragged
through a coal bin.
That, however, was in the days of
"doctored" baseballs, when some of
the athletes had their uniforms camou
liaged with tar oil as an aid to the
pitcher. Joe Finneran was a tar-oil
p:'V:her when with Vernon and that
explained his spotted appearance.
Jack Lively, however, held the good
championship several years when he
was with Oakland. From the looks
Of Jack's shirt front on the ball field
everybody simply took it for' granted
that he was the most careless tobacco
chewer In the world. Tet it was hard
to understand why a strong man could
not apparently spit farther than the
third button of his blouse. It later
developed that Lively used what some
years subsequently was termed the
mud ball, and carried the stuff In his
gills with which to "doctor" it. The
drips from this ruined his personal
appearance.
Now for the Other extreme. There

OLD MAN SWIMS MILE
GEORGE RUBY CELEBRATES
ON 6 0TH BIRTHDAY.
Chicago Sexagenarian Performs
Water Feats That Are Envy,
of Younger Men.
BY NORMAN ROSS,
World's Champion Swimmer.
CHICAGO, May 20. (Special.)
There are many ways of celebrating
birthdays, but not many persons ob
serve their 60th anniversary in the
same fashion as did -George Ruby of
the Illinois Athletic club.
On the day he reached three score
years he swam a mile In the club
pool, a feat by no means easy even
for a younger ewimmer. Ruby started
at a fair pace with the side stroke,
later changing to the breast, the
stroke he used for the greater part
of the distance. At the end of his
spectacular stunt he seemed none the
worse for it,
Mr. Ruby enjoys a dual distinction.
He has twice been elected president of
the Otters, an honor heretofore con
ferred on no other, and he is the moat
regular attendant at the noonday
swimming classes. Every day he Is
in the water, swimming a few lengths,
diving from the high board, and play
ing a rough game of polo with the
younger members.
His agility from the board Is amaz
ing; back flips, front and back Jack
knifes and an occasional somersault
being his dally routine. In the friend
ly polo matches his adversaries be
ware of his clutches, for he does not
seem to have heard that aged bones
are brittle. He 19 as careless ot oth
ers' bones as he is of his own-.
"How do I do it?" he said in reply
to a question, "Why, it's simple. I
have found that there is nothing like
a dip in the old pool at noon to keep
me in form. I am able to keep going
at a faster clip all day on account of
my regular exercise."
Mr. Ruby has not been swimming
all his life, but became interested in
recent years. He is one of the most
enthusiastic of the followers of the
sport who make the Illinois cham
pionship teams possible. His name
appears at the head of every sub
scription list, whether it is to send a
club team to China or to buy a couple
of new teeth some Btar may have lost
in a polo match.

aDBVICH PROVES WORTH
RECENT KEXTtCKY DERBY
BRINGS OUT STUFF.
Sea of Runnymede Threatens Niche
in Hall of Turf Fame Held by
Great Man o' War.
Morvich. has proved that he can go
a distance and maintjain his speed
His impreesivev victory in the Ken
tucky derby must have convinced the
doubters. Even after his sensational
performances as a 2-year-old there
were; some the minority, it is true
who. refused to accept the son of
Runnymede as a really great horse.
He had come to the turf too closely
on the heels of that super-horse. Man
o' War. In spite of the fact that as
a 2-year-old he did everything that
was asked of him, running on all
kinds of tracks, under all kinds of
conditions. conceding pounds of
Weight to. his rivals and covering dif
ferent distances, a few would not per
mit themselves to recognize In him
one of the greatest of race horses.
Making his first start as a 3-year-old,
Morvich entered one of the big
gest classics of the American turf.
He not only won, but he covered the
mile and a quarter in 2:04 3-5, one
second and a fifth slower than the
record for the race made by Old Rose
bud in 1914. And he was not extended.
Had he been pushed, the chances are
he would have bettered that mark.
It was the 12th time that Morvich
has gone to the post during his racing
career, and it was his 12th victory.
In this respect he has launched his
campaign as a 3-year-old with a bet
ter record than Man oTvar, which
was defeated once as a 2-year-old, but
in a race that has been questioned
and thrown out of consideration by
the majority. As a 2-year-old Mor
vich won a total of $116,234. Add to
this the 346,775 which he won In the
darby on Saturday and his winnings
total $162,005. Man o'War earned
$249,465. Thus Morvich must win
$87,456 more to equal Man 'War's
earnings. Block's colt already stands
sixth in the list of American money
winning horses, being surpassed only
by Man o'War, Domino, Sysonby,
Colin and Exterminator,
At the same time that Morvich was
establishing himself as a 3-year-old,
another colt of like age gained a
niche in the torf's hall of fame at
