Shortender, COULON LOOKS PERFECT Chicago Bojr, So Tar s Appearances Qo, Za la,rftct Condition, Bat Baltlmcra Bear Kay Win. Los Angeles, June 9. After an ab sence of mora . than a year, Johnny Coulon will return to the ring at Ver non tonight to defend his world's ban tamweight crown against Kid Wil liams of Baltimore In a 20 round bout. Williams has been mads a 10 to 8 favorite, wltti the 1oh Angelca bettors, and wagering on the battle has been brisker than the usual battle eve post ings here for a year. Indications to day, were that t" price would stretch another notch before ring time. FYir his sprvlrea tonight Coulon vlll receive a. flat $5,100 guarantee, with tlio privilege of taking 40 ier tent of the reeelnts. Williams Js content with $2600 anil a crack at the title, liut $1000 of this sum must be paid over to Coulon before the boys enter the ring to -satisfy an agreement Wil liams mado with the champion to give him $1000 In cash the day he toased bin title into the ring. Kach boy has posted $500 weight forfeit. The stipulated poundage is 116, td bo' proved inside the ropes, and neither man to leave the arena after weighing in. Charles F. Eyton will referee. Rlnsr f-xoertu here are agreed that the result of th he bout depends largely i Coulon, after his long upon whether rrt, is tho Coulon of a couple of years ago. So far as appearances go, John ny i.i in perfect sliapo, and his training- rump work has loft little to be de- sired. He is hitting hard ana is lignt. ning fast. Ills stamina and endurance remain to be proved. WiltatriH, admitted to be a showier gyiniiftHtuui performer than ring man, without doubt is in the best condition of his career. His prt in tonight's affair, his friends declare, will be to wear down the champion after the lat ter has begun to show signs of weari ness, and they believe the little Dane's ruggedness will be equal to the task. The Texas Kid and Paddy Mills, ban tams, will furnish the four round ring warmer Kid Carter and Charlie Khands. mtddlewetghts, will mix in a iv rnurwi nrelimtnary. Williams and cnnion will be in the ring soon after 'j o'clock. v STANDING OF THE TEAMS Pacific Coast league. Won. Lost.

Bear Msrriaca s ' TONIGHTS BETTING IS HARMFULTO GOLF HURT TRAVERS The theory lis generally - accepted now that Jerry Travers' downfall was brought about by the thought of los ing so many thousands of dollars wag ered on him by his friends. Defeat meant more than losing a golf-match.. It meant losing from $25, 000 to 130,000 put up by friendly hands. j Last fall, before he met Ouimet at Brookline, he knew as he started cer tain close friends had bet-$5000 on him to win and this didn't help a lot when the match became close at the finish. It was this feature which retired Robert Maxwell, one of the greatest of all amateurs, from competitive golf. In his last'ehampionship match against Hutchison he knew that $35,000 had been bet on him to win by some of his closest friends. ; He won. in a close fight, but he said afterward that he felt tha,t every five or stx foot putt might mean ine winning or losing or ssb.uuu to j BASEBALL CHATTER t ts . a Clyde Milan,' the speedy outfielder of the Washington team, is out again this season to annex the base stealing honors. Del Gainor, formerly of the Tigers, is nutting un a fine eamo at first haso 1 and with the s tic It for the Boston Red , box. Three St. Louis teams and all three in the first division of their leagues. Yes, sir, this ; has happened several times this season. The New York Giants have turned Pitcher Shore over to Jack Dunn's Bal timore Orioles. Shore is a former Guilford college t wirier. The New York Yankees are a bit shy of .300 batters, but they have several boys who threaten to break into the select "circle before long. Ed Konetchy and Jack Miller, the two first basemen Who figured in the Pittchiirff.fi 1 jii.i, 1a-jl lout nrlntor j . ........... . I ' l(fH '.1111V1, are traveling iiecti una necit in uamng. Baseball critics have claimed that weak hitting baa kept the Athletics back. But Somehow- or otner it is nard to figure the Mackmcn bo very far back. It begins to look as though it was up to Joe Tinker's Chifeds to give Chicago a first division team this season, as the Cubs and White Sox seem to have curled up. Washington's young twirlers, Ayres, t Shaw and Boehling, are giving good : assistance to the only Walter Johnson n keeping the Senators in the spot light Charley Herzog seems to have the Cincinnati Reds well in hand. The Red Birds are hustling all the time and go after the leaders with as much vim as against the weaker teams. The Interstate league is the latest minor organization to get under way, the circuit being composed of James town, Olean, Wellsville and Hornell, N. Y., and Warren and Bradford, Pa. Though he can play short to perfec tion, Terry Turner refuses to shift to the short fiejd for the Cleveland Naps. Terry declares his throwing arm is now in great shape and that short stopping would put his flipper on the hummer. Pitchers' records of the Western Canada league recently published show Beer of the Saskatoon team to be the leader, with Cann, the Moose Jaw linger, at the bottom of the list. And it doesn't do the pastime any harm to Keep 'em so rar apart. The Boston Red Sox have signed Tea ustergren, tne crack first base man of the Holy Cross college nine. Infielder Kopf. of the Athletics, is one or tne rew players in the major leagues who can bat from either side of the plate. . A sure-enough bear cub, captured In Alaska, has arrived in Chicago, and is now mascot in chief for Hank O'Day's UUDB. Not much danger of Jack Dalton be ing sent back to the minors if he con tlnues to do such brilliant clouting for me iirooKiyn supercas. Dave Robertson, leading batter of the Southern league, who was with the Gi ants two or three years ago, has re turned to the McGraw outfit. "Jimmy Kelley," of Pittsburg pi rates, has been discovered. His real name is Robert J. Taggart, and he hails from Newark, N. J. The Kansas City Federals, have a promising pitcher in Jahpi signed Adams.

' AND MAXWELL those who believed in his skill. , "The strain" he says, "was so great that I was almost-a wreck for weeica after ward, and it cured me forever of com. rpeting in another championship," It might be argued, that a bettor 1 taKing his chances, and that tne player should not be inclined to bother over another's- risk. Tnis, in theory, is well enough. But if a man Is human, he isn't helped a lot by the thought that one of his mistakes is likely to lose some close friend $10,000 or $25,000. When Travers met Evans In Chica go, the same thing came up, and as Evans was the more nervous tempera ment, he was the first to crack. There is probably no way to check this betting among outsiders, but the afore said . wagerer displays an abnormal amount of bone by letting a contender know that he is carrying an addltonal ouraen or sucn proportions, K - ! SPORTS OF ALL SORTS j m -' Canadians enjoy summer association football. The Vienna racetrack grandstand just erected cost $240,000. Annette Ke.llerman is reported to have given up swimming and diving and to be planning an operatic career. Dr. Emanuel Lasker Will play A, K. Rubinstein for the chess champion ship. The series will begin In Ger many In the fall. This country may see several' of he contests. Princeton University has formed a Klife saving club with 20 charter mem bers, and is endeavoring to have all colleges fostering swimming organize similar clubs. University of California women stu dents will have a swimming-pool ready for their use in August. It will meas ure 45 by 85 feet. It will have a .glass room and steam heating plant. New college equipment for the co-eds will be four basketball courts, two tennis courts and a new track. Charles Mitchell of England, ex- heavyweight boxing champion, has started on a tour of South Africa and. Australia. He will lecture on the old time methods of pugilistic training. straight games earlier in the season, while with the St. Joseph Western league team. The poor showing of the Naps this season doesn t seem to affect Joe Jackson's batting, for the great slug ger continues to lead the American league hitsmiths. "Dutch" Leonard, the Red Sox fling- er, pitched 41 runless innings, and then the Cleveland Naps tallied one and busted up what promised to be a rec ord shutout performance. Pitcher Howard Camnitz, of the Pittsburg Feds, is out of the game, nursing a pair of cracked ribs. How ard's slats were injured by a pitched ball in a recent game. Frank Baker, home run king and third sacker of the world's champions, has got the proper range on that right field fence again, and American league teams appear to be uneasy. The swell battles put up by the St. Louis Browns were a great, surprise to the eastern fans. Branch Rickey has his crew up on their toes at all times and playing until the last man is out.
