'Casualties among handicap horses of the higher class have played havoe with some of the big spring events of the metropolitan circuit this season. With Omar Khayyam, Hourless, Old Rosebud, Roamer, Strombali and other cracks in sight before the training season opened, it looked as if the Metropolitan, Sub- urban and Brooklyn might be among the great races of recent years, hut thus far they have been disappoint- ng. CAN STILL HIT HARD. French Aviator-Boxer Has Not Lost ++ His Cunning. Georges Carpeatier, the French xing champion, is not all in, as some repofts would have it, accord- ing to advices received in New York. Georges must have his wallop, too, judging from the manner in which he put an opponent out recently. Since he was given sick leave from the aviation service Carpen- tier has been acting as athletic and boxing instructor at the Joinville school in France. Not long ago a big fele was arranged at Lojr-el- Cher, and over 10,000 persons as-| Wien Old Rosebud's work stop- sembled to see the sports, especially ved, in April, they said he was an exhibition boxing match betecairoughing, but there is a growing be- the French champion sud Ray |Wil-|llet that the cough is in his leg, and liams, a sergeant fron: the States. that his turf career is over.

Also WORLD'S SWIMMING Two New American Marks Lowered by Mermaids. At Delmonte, Cal, a new world's record and two American records were made in the first official swim- ming racing events held ip which all participants were women. Both records were set by Miss Frances Cowells, of Alameda, Calif. In 'the: 25-yard dash she defeated Dorothy Burns of San Francisco, in 13 seconds, taking from her oppon- ent the previous world's record of 14 2-5 soconds. Miss Cowells won the 220 yard event in 2 minutes 59 seconds, low- ering by three-fifths of a second the previous American record held by Olga Dorfner of Philadelphia. In this event Miss Cowells for 200 yards was timed at 2.41 4-5, setting up a new record for this distance. The meet was sanctioned by the MISS LAW TO RACE Her Flying Machine Against Gaston Chevrolet's Motor Car. The most famous woman _ayfator in the world--Miss Ruth law--is to drive her machine against the king of niotor speedway drivers-- Gaston IChevrolet---as the head line attraction at the B. IP. A. meet at the Exhibition Grounds. Toronto, June 29th. The distance is five miles. This unique attraction fell to this man because of Miss Law's pesistent challenging of Chevrolet. The motor car speed demon beat Miss Law in a similar race at Mil- - waukee, and Miss Law, who claims that a gusty day killed the speed of her machine, hag been astiduouns- ly chasing Chevrolets with chal- lenges for a return race ever since she challenged him through the S. P. A. Thursday, and yesterday Chev- rolet created a semsation by accept- ing. The race is for $500 a side and a $500 purse, winner taking afl, and Chevrolet names all the condi- tions. ' He demanded referees on the corners and a clause in the agree- ment making it a foul for Mies Law to drive her machine within eight feet of his head. He nearly put Chevrolet through the fence at Mil- waukee by suddenly diving at him. He swerved in surprise, (hinking] the machine was crashing and Miss Law took the lead, but she couldn't hold it in the puffy wind and was beaten 300 feet. Athletic Union. women participated. Sixteen War Has Made Golf Popular, Golf is coming into its own. Over in 'Europe the aviators and officers on the firing Mne of the Allies have been order to spend one day a week, when practical, playing golf. It is stated that golf has unusual powers of paci- fication. and that a few games of golf between flights or bombardments will calm the most ragged nerves. Hereafter, instead of being invalided home when the nerves cut capers, fighting men will be sent back of the lines to play golf. It's considered better to be a golf bug than a bomb bug. But what will happen when the fighting force of the allies learns the game? Nobody will have time to fight. . The daily orders, instead of commending some hero aviator for flying over the boche lines and blow- ing up a couple of ammunition trains, will mention the fact that Lieut. Smythe made the seventeenth hole at Arras in two, a 317 yard rive and a 23-foot putt, and say that he has Been recommended for the Order of the Iron Putter. The daily report passed by the sen- sor will read something like this: "To-day we score a great triumph. Our heavy bombardment droye the enemy back to a depth of balf a mile along a front of twelve miles. Our advancing infantry held the ground gained against all counter-assaults, and the surveyors have already laid out seventeen golf courses on the new territory. The mounds thrown up by our big shells, it is reported, make excellent bun¥ers. Capt. Macdoodles of the Twenty-ninth Highlanders, played the first round on No. 1 course and turned in a card of 63. Je has been recommended for promo- tion." Wagner May Play Again, Don't be surprised # Honns Wag- ner, one of the stars' of baseball, is seen wearing the uniform of one of the major league teams before the season ends. Wagner, who will be re- membered just as long as baseball is played, is taking part in games with wldier teams around Pittsburg and they say that the veteran is in the best of form, and is enjoying the game as much as ever. Wagner's long stay in baseball was not - due to his desire to make as much money as he possibly could out of the game. He always loved the sport as is,shown by the faet that he can't keep away from it now even though he is out of the majors. Baseball may not owe Wagner any- thing, but it is also a fact that Wag- ner has no debt to pay to organized baseball. He was one of the stars of the pastime ane one of the greatest ' N drawing cards, interned Huns Build Ring.
