BOXBBS ABB 8IGXED
. The i. S.. C, the writer leama, has
closed with both boxers and will stage
the bout in July or August as One of
its first big flstlo attractions. The date
and the arena in which tn battle Is to
be Staged depend on later developments
the establishment of the state boxing
commission and the ' completion of the
elub's' palatial new home.
The uncertainties connected with the
bringing together of Jack Dempsey and
Georges Carpentier in a battle for the
world's heavyweight title led the offi
cials of the International Sporting club
to look elsewhere for talent for their
first big show,: and the Pulton-Wills af
fair will probably mark the club's Initial
effort in promoting fisticuffs. .
Witt BE cdJLnsioir
No match now in the realm of possi
bility ofrers promise Of more action tffan
a scrap between Fulton and Wills, The
gigantic plasterer and the black panther
ootn stana well over six feet in thetr
socks and both carry more than 2H
pounds of bone and muscle. There will
be no disparity in weights between these
two SUch as there would be between
Dentpsey and i Carpentier. It Will be
mastodon against mastodon When they
meet, and as : Wills has everything at
stake In his efforts to break Into the
limelight and Pulton must live down his
own admissions of faking, there is every
reason to believe that a bout between
them will be fought strictly on its mer
its. In such a case there is but one
conclusion their meeting" will be some
collision. - ., ;
Under the rules that wilt govern box
ing in New fork henceforth any evi
dence of collusion between two fighters
will result in the ; disbarment of both
fighters alld their managers from further
participation in the gams in New York
state. A black bait slipped into the bo
by the International Sporting club will
mean that the fighter or manager
against Whom it is east Will he slated
for oblivion, io stalling or faking Will
be fatal.
Willi HABD ITTE&
To return 16 the match Pulton and
Wills are splendidly paired. The plasterer
IS oh of the biggest men who has ever
donned rihg togs in this country. Un
like most big men he is fast and clever,
and Since starting anew to win ring
laurels- he has apparently overcome his
Old weakness a supreme distaste " for
punishment At any rate, these who saw
FranH MOfan giv him everything from
Mary Ann to a left hook with ail the
Moras weight behind it, only to lose
Out in the end, are inclined to that Way
of thinking. .
In Wills the Minnesota behemoth will
meet a scf apper who can deal out pun
ishment in larsre. heavy gobs. And Wills
Is clever, too. His left hand, like Fulton's,
is supposed to be hhr best bet, and like
Fulton he la fast for ar-big fellow. Be
cause of the qualifications of tuese big
tpittstera the officials of the Interna
tional Sporting club believe they have ar
ranged a match that will be well worth
while and from this distance it surely
looks that way. -"

NEW TORK, July lO.sThe trirti sloop
rtesoiute, Selected aS the defender
of the olassio America's cup against Sir
Thomas Upton's shamrock 2v, is one
of the beet sailing sloops ever io&
strUcted. . j
Under her racing canvas the Resolute
skims over the waves like a swift sea
gull, and,-with white hull gleaming and
sails bellied out in the breese. she fairly
churns the -water to Snowy foam. Com
ing out of a bank of ' fog or speeding
through hace, as she. often did during
her trial, races with Vanitie off New
port,' the Resolute resembles a phantom
ship, and American yachting experts
believe that her Uncanny ability to make
headway in the lightest of breezes will
be a. big factor in her race against the
Sleek green challenger from England.
SAll ABBA. XE&S
Resolute will enjoy a handicap in the
coming international races, for her-sail
area will be approximately 8822 square
feet less thad that of tbaMiamrock IY.
Just what the handicap Will be has not
been decided and will not be until about
July 10, when, it is expected, the rival
yachts will be taken to City island to
be hauled out and measured fey the race
committee Of the New York Yacht elub.
AS compared with the Shamrock IV,
the Resolute is smaller ail around. She
measures 10C feet 6 inches over all, as
against 116 feet over all for the Sham
rock IV. Her mast Is approximately 12
feet B inches, as compared to the Sham
rock's lofty 16(5-footer. On the water
line Resolute measures ?4 feet 9 inches,
with a beam of 22 feet and a draught
of 13 feet 9 inches. Shamrock's water
tin measurement, according to unoffi

Bob Gardner Impressed Scots
WITH SPORTSMANSHIP '
In -British Golf Championship
By Leo Msaro
(fwrii nttt OprcwvtMnnt for t !. i.)
MUIRFlELD, Scotland. (By Mail.)
Robert A. Gardner, though beaten
at the thirty-seventh hole in the Brit
ish amateur golf Championship, im
pressed the Anglo-Scottish ' onlookers
with his. fine sense of sportsmanship,
his smiling imperturbability in good
fortune and bad. The exacting Scot
tish "gallery" took him to their hearts
With a degree of positive affeotion.
H might b outdriven by torn of
the blg-hlttlng Sritlshef He just
smiled quietly, knowing that On the
Muirf leid . course it was not the drive
that counted, but the accurately , placed
long second Shot.
MASTiR OF SHCOXD SHOT
Gardner was a master of that shot,
played mere often with an iron club
than with the wood, lie carried eight
eiubs in his bag. compared with the
battery of 14 or IB in the outfit Of
the average British competitor. Gard
ner's approach shots with his iron
Clubs were dreams of delight.
Gardners progress in the champion
ship is worth recording. He drew a
bye in th first found, and in th-aje-ond
beat T. M. Burreil of Troon, one
up. The third round saw him , up
against : Kdward ' Rlackweil. who-, was
defeated by Waiter J. Travis in the
memorable final of the 1904 champion
ship; ana Gardner put out the long
drawlng. landyhalred Scotsman by

In the "fourth round he defeated Jack

members of the young Scottish school,

easy 8 and 5 conauest of TL H. Job-

and 11,000 square feet for Shamrock; IV.
BACKS START THURSDAY v
The classic international Series' will
commence off Sandy Hook July It and
continue until one yacht has won three
races.- Sailing breezes during mid-July,
according to weather indications in so
far. ks they can be figured ih advance,
will be light, and, unless fchamrock IV is
a fan better boat in a light breese than
the Resolute, yachtsmen believe the Lip
ton boat will be hard pressed to defeat
the American sloop. The Resolute, It
must be remembered, will have a time
allowance of from 6 to 8 minuted over
the challenger.
The recent series of trials between the
Resolute and Vanitie off Newport at
tracted wide attention. ' The yaehte com
peted in 11' races of which the Resolute
was the victor In eight starts against
tion, and in its dramatic changes of
fortune imposed a sever strain on
the players. --r
Toiley made the ' better start, ' but
Gardner soon pegged him back and in
turn went ahead to such effect that he
finished the moraine; round i two up,
Gardner, moreover, . bad played the
sounder golf, and there was much head
shaking and doleful prediction among
the Britishers as they formed for the
"bread line" at the entrance to the
luheheoh tent. v
TOLL! WAS C0XFIlif!2fT .
. One liriusher, however, refused to be
ruffled, and, as this happened to be
Cyril Toiley himself, the exception was
a rathdr important one. Toiley said
at lunch time i , . .
"I stui have a chance. I an beat
Gardner and I'm going to beat him.- :
Toiley made good his words, but , it
waa a desperately near thing in th
end, and more than one British lion
in the crowd must have suffered from
heart trouble before - it waa all over.
After : the third hole in the afternood
Gardner proved himself merely human,
lifter alh , - ,
Previouly he had thriven dn his fp
boaehfs errors, avoiding serious mis
takes himself, Now he, in turn, 'began
o be inaccurate. He did not drive
wildly, - he did not foozle hi ap
proaches t but his putting, usually of
heartbreaking accuracy, suddenly let
down.

' Touey was onto Mm nit a hawk,

The way in whioh he .won - the ninth

Fame has always smiled on the

St. Patrick, the Princess Pats and

the 'Pats' have always been mighty

t6 make supreme bids for new laurels
and fresh places in the Spotlight when

McDonald, the giant New Tork poj
lineman and winner of the weight
putting event in the Olympic games at
Stockholm in 1912, is still the king of
all he surveys In Shot and weight
putting. In the recent Olympld trials
at Philadelphia Patrick pushed the
weight it feet 44 Inches away from
the rlngr and put the Shot 44 feat 1V
Inches, -j - : t -
These figures topped the best ef
forts, of the country's leading weight
men In the meets at Chicago, Pasa
dena and "New Orleans on the same
day. j Bo McDonald is sure to repre
sent tJncle Samuel once again in the
Olympics, lh 1911 McDonald competed
under the : red. White and blue 'colors
at Stockholm and finished first in put
ting the weight, best hand. Ralph Rose
finished second to McDonald, and I
A. Whitney was. third. :
RAlTSg At HEAD . . - s :
Pat. Ryan's efforts with the hammer
at Philadelphia, when he hurled the
hefty ball 171; feet inches, was far
and away above the best distance re
corded in any of the other sectional
tryouts. The closest approach to Ryan's
mrow waa maae oy Jack Merchant at
Faftadena, with a throw of 168 feet t
inches. Merchant has d6ne better than
this ; m the hammer event, however,
Bennett of the Chicago A. A. Wort the
hammer throw at Btagg field with a
toss or 156 feet, and Phillipa of st
Btanlslaus took the event In New Or
leans with a throw of lis feet I
inches. ,
-Judging from Ryan's performances
the last few weeks, during which time
he has devoted many an hour to throw
ing the hammer, he will rank head and
shoulders above the country's best col
lege men and against his athletic elub
rivals at Cambridge this month.,
Ryan, like McDonald, Is one of New
York's "finest," and ranks as one of
the greatest field stars in the country,
or the world, for that matter.
A comparison of the records for the
three big meets at Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Pasadena is interesting, and
it shows that competition will be hot
at Cambridge. -v

Shooters Can Fire at Target Sc:
ond Time if Necessirj;
-... Make Record.
By Peter 1. Carney
(EMI tot K'tUonal feporta Sjn1lrt)
IP THE trapshoetlng team sporting
the shield of the United States in
the Olympic" games doesn't make a
perfect score, we will be greatly sur
prised. It Wasn't until the team Wat about
ta kail rat the members wera in
formed as to the conditions that
would prevail In ths Olympld events.
They are substantially the same tJ in
this Country, with the exception that
each .Contestant' Will be allowed the
Use df two barrels, or, in other
words, he Will have a second shot in
ease he misses the target for the
first.
When you take into consideration that
the members of the United States team
break an average of 96 par cent on every
100 targets, with one shot, you can
Imagine what scores they should compile
wtth the advantage of the Ktra shot on
any tarpet that should get away whole
oh the first effort.
There has been no end of discussion In
the .United States and. Canada aa to the
rules that would prevail In ihe Olymjlo
games and Canada staged tryouts for the
Maple Immt team under the aaina rulea
that prevailed In the Olympics In Stock
holm. The United States team wa
chosen without tryouts but the team was
selected because of the ability of the
shooters to use . a "pump" or double
barreled gun and to shoot with the gun
"below the elbow,"
LITTLE KftOWLEDOR OV fttTLES
One would think that the rules that
govern the events in the Oiymplo- garnfta
would be spread broadcast so that the
probable conteslanta of all countries
could read andtget acquainted with them
but such is not the case. Khootlng
rules, in a brief way, did com to this
country, but these did not explain the
most important rule where the shooter
would be allowed to hold the gun.
In previous Olympics It was necessary
to hold the stock of the gun between the
hip and the arm'p'lt and as this point was
ignored everyone took it for grar.tM
that the same rule would strain be In
force. Jay Clark Jr., captain of the
American team, however, asked for In
formation on this point and the answer
from Henri Quersirt, president of the
Belgian Clay Bird Shooting annotation,
paves the way for the elimination of
practically all but the Canadian and
United States trapshots.
RAVE OREAT CnANCE
The rules that will be In vojrue in the
events at Deverloo, July 22 to tl, in
clusive, allow the shooter to hold the
gun any place he sens fit and the
Americans and Canadians will hold the
butt of the gun against their ahouldrra
as they do, in competition here. The puller
will call No, 1, meaning the shooter on
the first peg, and any time after jhis
call the shooter can call "pull" and the
target should be released immediately.
If there Is a delay In releasing ihe target
after the Call the shooter does not have
to accept the target and can call for
snotheV. That Is as it is here. The
puller calls the number Of each shooter
in turh. The shooter prepares when the
puller calls his number.
This, in brief, brings the situation to
the point where the American shooters
have all the boat of the argument. If
they had compiled the rules they couldn't
have given themselves any more leeway
than the Belgians have. If a target gets
away from anyone on the United Klatee
team it will be a miracle.
