LITTLE COIN BEING PLACED ON BATTLE (By International News Service) GREAT FALLS, Mont., July 2.—Everybody arose in these parts today and bespoke his neighbor, to wit: "Well, do you think they've got the dought for Kearns, hey?" And before any answer could be made by the neighbor folks, George Stanton stepped into the picture and made this reply: "Yes. The greater percentage of the money was in hand over Sunday. Checks for $5000 arrived in the mail this morning. Within a few hours the total of $100,000 will be ready to be turned over to Kearns. There will be no slip up." Someone sought out Kearns—and asked: "How do you feel about it?" "OK, OK," he replied. "I have reason to believe that the cash will be in my hand perhaps before the specified hour of midnight." The champion's universe looked around more than anything else this day. He went out for a tuning up trick on the road in the early hours of dawn, then came back, breakfasted heartily and said: "Gosh, I'm glad the grind is over!" Dempsey will do no more boxing beyond a turn on the road Tuesday and some calisthenics; he's all thru with his training. "Feel mighty fit," he said. "Been spoiling for a fight for two years. My chance comes Wednesday. Then I will demonstrate to the world that I'm as good as I ever was and certainly good enough to polish off Tommy Gibbons. Just how I'll do it, I don't know. But I'll do it." Meanwhile the wagering is around 12 to 5 that Dempsey will win—with not much money bet. The consensus of opinion among the visitors is that Dempsey is a sure thing. But Montana folk hold to the idea that Gibbons not only has a splendid chance, but perhaps will bump off the champion. MRS. MALLORY FAILS (By International News Service) WIMBLEDON, England, July 2.—Mrs. Molla Mallory, American woman tennis champion today was eliminated from the Wimbledon tournament by Mrs. Beamish, of England. Mrs. Beamish, won by scores of 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. Mrs. Mallory thus failed to go into the semi-final round and lost an opportunity to clash again with her greatest court rival, Suzanne Lenglen, the French star. RICHFIELD BEATS SAN GABRIEL TEAM Richfield Spanish baseball team won the sevententh game yesterday, defeating the rough and ready San Gabriel nine. The visitors were a little inclined to play a rough game but the Richfield manager would allow no crabbing in his team. Bleecker, star pitcher, figured prominently in the batting. At the end of the sixth inning, San Gabriel was in the lead 6 to 2. Richfield straightened up and knocked the winning 8 runs in the last three innings, coming out with four runs to the good. STRAND STILL LEADS SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.—Paul Strand, slugging Salt Lake center fielder, continues the unchallenger for hitting honors in the efc Coast League, with an in of .420 for 85 games.

Sports E SHELBY, Mont., Ju the heavyweight champ tle of the century" betw Harrison Dempsey, the mauler, and Thomas G Paul only a little more t away, Shelby today was Who Owns The Union Pacific? The Union Pacific is owned by 51,016 stockholders. Forty-three per cent of the stockholders are women. Stockholders outnumber by 4,461 the yearly average number of officers and employees of the system. No one person, firm, corporation or institution owns as much as two percent of the capital stock. The average holding is 63 shares of a par value of $6,300.00. A large amount of the stock, although registered in the names of stock brokers, is actually owned by a great many different individuals, clients of such brokers. Furthermore, many of the registered stockholders are executors, trustees, guardians, etc., representing individuals who are the beneficial owners. If, therefore, a list of the actual owners could be compiled, it would greatly exceed 51,016, and the average holding would be considerably less than 63 shares. Again, large amounts of the stock are owned by life insurance companies and savings banks, who, though actually owning the stock, really hold it for the benefit of vast numbers of life insurance policy holders and savings bank depositors. Union Pacific stock, like the country's trade, follows the flag. Stockholders are found in every state of the Union, and in Alaska, the Canal Zone, Guam, Hawaii, Philippine Islands and Porto Rico. Were these 51,016 Union Pacific stockholders assembled at one place, they would make a population as large as that of Lincoln, Butte, Topeka, Pasadena, or Pueblo. They represent a greater number than the combined populations of Colorado Springs, Boulder and Greeley in Colorado, or Ogden, Provo and Logan in Utah. This widespread distribution conclusively answers the statement that the railways are owned and controlled by a few persons. To an extent not generally recognized the railways are owned by the public. The subject comes home to every household when it is considered that life insurance policy holders and savings bank depositors are partners in the operation and development of our railways.

SHELBY, Mont., July 2.—With the heavyweight championship "battle of the century" between William Harrison Dempsey, the Manasa man mauler, and Thomas Gibbons of St. Paul only a little more than 48 hours away, Shelby today was crowded with visitors arriving by train and automobile. Estimates of the crowd that will surround the ring when time is called July 4, run all the way from 18,000 down to 10,000. Accurate check up by newspapermen early today showed that more than 12,000 persons are already here. Major "Gene" Lane, who has been placed in sole charge of the promotion end of the bout, left here early today for Great Falls after a complete review of the financial situation. He declared that the show was assured of an attendance in excess of 15,000 and predicted that the cash customers might run close to the 20,000 mark. Major Lane "felt certain," he said, that the third $100,000 payment on the Dempsey guarantee would be made in Great Falls today, but reports to International News Service from a reliable source indicated that the actual cash to make up this hundred thousand dollars had not been received early this morning. Major Lane's assurance of the success of the campaign to raise the elusive "hundred grand" were accepted here, however, and Shelby's entire population was waiting with baited breath the arrival of Jack Dempsey for the big fight. Challenger Tommy Gibbons spent today tapering off in his conditioning for the battle that he expects will be his opportunity to wrest the heavyweight crown from the titleholder. He performed his last sparing workout yesterday and today confined himself to light road work and put in much of the time "playing with the kids" around home. Manager Eddie Kane declared that Tommy was in the pink of condition and ready to stage the battle of his career. The Yanka went another step on the road to pennant-ville when they trimmed the Athletics for the fourth straight time. They now lead the league by nine games. The White Sox shot into the coveted first division today when they made it four straight from Cleveland, 6 ot 2. INDIAN SIGN WORKS ON PASADENA 14-5 With Anaheim's famous old Indian sign working better than ever, Pasadena's hopes of opening the Elks State Baseball league yesterday at Brookside park with a victory were hopelessly blasted to the tune of 14 to 5. Anaheim had the voodoo working on the Crown City crew worse than ever. Time and again Pasadena has gone thru the season gloriously only to be bumped off in the annual collision with Anaheim. This year Manager Loren Ury of Pasadena determined that Anaheim was to be shown up for fair and elaborate preparations were made for the opening game, the two rivals being scheduled to clash at the start off. Manager Ury went so far as to declaim that if he didn't lick Anaheim this year he was thrust with the baseball for life, a decision already made by several other Elk managers. Anaheim started the scoring by putting over two in the second inning. Pasadena come back in the latter half of the same frame with two more and it began to look like a ball game. However, in the next round, the old hoo do got busy. Pasadeng heaved the ball hither and yon. No one seemed able to hold it. The Anaheim Bills repeatedly filled the bags, then cleaned them with timely hits. When the agonizing round was over the score stood: Anaheim 8, Pasadena 2. Thereafter, Anaheim scored at will. Pasadena used three pitchers, Vintage, Burris and Hillman. The latter finished the game. Howling Harry Hughes never looked better, striking out 11 Crown Cityites. The game was played before several thousand fans among whom Anaheimers were well represented. Next Sunday Anaheim plays Ventura, a tough team, on the local high school field. Anaheim, 1345— AB. H. O.

CY GETS 22nd HOMER (By International News Service) PHILADELPHIA, July 2.—Cy Williams, major league home run leader, hit his 22nd home run this afternoon off John Scott of the Giants in the first innning of the New York-Philadelphia game. SEE THIS TAG on Every Orange MONDAY, July Sargum Sproutings By SARGUM SPROUT. If the promoters of the July 4 fictic classic come out with an even break, it will not be from good management. Of all the hashed up affairs this Shelby fight is the worst. To begin with, Shelby is too far from the cities of size to make it a desirable place to stage such a fight, and only the sporting Westerner would have attempted such an undertaking. The men in charge were evidently not large enough to handle it and several changes in management have been made; and all are glad to tell how the other fellow fell down. Instead of pulling together, they have been doing the opposite. Jack Kearna, the slick-haired manager of the champ, did his share in making the event a financial fizzle by his attitude. He never really knocked the management, but he gave the impression that he did not expect the fight to take place, any way, that it was doubtful. So much for that. How about the fight? Gibbons has one chance out of 100 to win. His chance after the third round is one in a 1000 unless he has the champion badly hurt in the first three rounds. The fight will probably end in the fourth or fifth rounds, but Jack is capable of ending it in the first if he makes connections with Gibbons' weak points. Our American tennis stars are going strong in the English championship tournaments. Johnson is favored to win the world's title. Mrs. Mallory is not so well thought of in the women's honors. She is not figured to beat the French star, Suzanne Lenglen. Fred Hanny, the Detroit infielder, who is hitting fourth in the American League, is the same lad who tried out in Los Angeles a few seasons back. He could not make the grade for Los Angeles, but has been going great in the big leagues. L. A. either had to let Hanny go or one of her veterans, so the are fall on the kid. The kid is coming in now and the vet has gone or is going. Walter Johnson could not make the grade with Los Angeles, but he made the grade in Washington and has been making good ever since. The past few years the Coast League has become the honeyard for the big leagues. These old big leaguers may outplay the youngster for a year or two, but they will never get any better, while the youngsters have the chance of a future. The Coast teams gather a great ounch of sandlotters every year, take them on a training trip of two weeks. The kids are over anxious and fall to show their worth and some veteran takes the place they should be filling. Such is life.
