Miss Browne
In Fine Trim
On the Courts
California Tennis Star De?
feats Miss Bjurstedt at
Greenwich, Conn.
By FRED HAWTHORNE
Miss Mary Browne, of California,
playing a wonderfully well rounded
game, In which her volleying from
eloae to the net was a brilliant feature,
defeated Mis? Molla Bjurstedt, nation?
al woman champion, by a score of
7?9, t*>?'?, 6?4 yesterday afternoon
on the turf court? of the Greenwich
Field Club, at Greenwich, Conn.
It marked the first time that Miss
Bjurstedt had lowered her colors on
Eastern court? since last year, when
Mis? Evelyn Fears vanquished her at '
J.on-rwood.
Miss Browne'? victory yesterday was
achieved by the soundest of lawn ten- i
r.is. She relied upon deep driving to '
keep her great rival in the back of the \
court, and, once having done that, tin- '
i?hed off her points hy taking Miss |
Bjurstedt's drives from "just inside the I
?ervice court and volleying the ball
hack into the corners, across the court
or down the aide line? with beautiful
accuracy.
Norwegian Off Color
The Norwegian girl wa? not at her
best at any time during the match, and
thig may De said without detracting in
the least from Miss Browne's achieve?
ment, for the slender girl from the
Coast was plifying a game that might
well have taken the measure of the
champion, even had the latter been
going better.
It was partly Mis? Browne's ?peed
In going for the net and her extremely
deep driving, particularly off the back
hand, that threw the Norwegian off
her game. She appeared to* lack confi?
dence even before the matc'n started,
and when ?be discovered that it was
almost Bn impossibility to catch her
opponent, out of position she began to
make glaring error? on drives off her
forehand, usually her most effective
stroke.
Miss Browne's covering of her court
wa? really remarkable. A dozen time?
when it seemed as though Mis? Bjur?
stedt had scored sure placement aces
"Our Mary" electrified the big gallery
by spectacular "gets" from almost im
poaBible positions. Sne also volleyed
with a steady wrist and unerring rye,
showing a masterly handlitrf? of the ?
ball on such ?shots.
It was remarked when the girls first
took the court that Miss Bjurstedt was ;
without her famous Swastika brooch
that ?he ha? worn in every match she
h?s played in this country and that ?she
regards as an invaluable mascot of
victory. The champion ?eemed really
worried a? ?he explained that she had
lost the pin at Westfield last Wednes?
day night
Loses Finit Gama
Miss Bjurstedt began the service, but
lost the first game, with Miss Browne
dropping the next on her own delivery.
Thereafter each broke through on the
other's service and lost her own until
the seventh game, when the champion
took her own delivery.
The players had not yet worked up to
top ?peed, but Miss Browne, ?eeingthat
her opponent hesitated to assume the
net position, began to go to the barrier
herself at the etart of the eleventh
game, and with Buccess.
Miss Bjurstedt seemed to lack her
customary speed ar.d dash, and after
winning the final point and the first set
at 9?7 after a particularly fierce rally,
turned to one of the linesmen and
asked: "Is that really set?" Assured
that It was, she smiled gratefully.
Hiss Browne won the opening game
of the second set on her opponent'?
service, bpt lost the next, after Mis?
Bjurstedt hsd won two points, when
the b?ll struck the top of the net and
just trickled over into the Californien'?
court. "I don't see why she need? a
mascot," remarked Mis? Browne, refer?
ring to the lost brooch, and the gallery
laughed.
Norwegian ?Ootplayed
In this and the succeeding set the
former c*h?mplon ehowed her true form
and finished off her point? with ?nap
and precision. She was clearly out?
playing Miaa Bjurstedt from every po?
sition in the court, ?nd grew In effec?
tiveness and power as she gained in
confidence.
The courte were fresh and soft and
not up to the usual standard, the
bounds being very erratic Playing as
she was. Miss Browne seemed less af?
fected by this than was the champion,
and smilingly took the bad with the
good. Miss Bjurstedt rallied in the
latter part of the third set. but Miss
Browne was not to bo cheated of a
well earned victory, and won the
match her first out of four she has
played aince coming East, when the
champion sent a backhand into the net
on the final point.
There were two other matches dur?
ing the afternoon in behalf of the Red
Gros? ambulance fund. In the men's
double? William M. Johnston and
George M. Church defeated Frederick
B. Alexander and Harold A. Throck
morton at 7?5, 3?6, 6?3, and In the
?ingle? Robert Lindlev Murray vni
quished Karl Behr at 6?2, 4??, 7?3.
Johnston, whose playing is rapidly ap?
proaching championship form, re?
ceived a telegram just before the
match, announcing that he had been
appointed an ensign in th? navy.
This afternoon, beginning at S
o'clock, the tournament will continue
with a mixed doubles match and two
men's singles.

Carson Yacht
Proves Winner
In Light Wind
Members of the Handicap Yacht Rac?
ing Class of Long Island Sound held
their second race of the season under
the auspices of the New Rochelle Yacht
Club yesterday. The wind was light
and from the northwest Fortunately,
it held steady throughout, and gave the
yachtsmen a fairly satisfactory brush.
The course was made up of two broad
reaches and a beat home.
The fleet was slightly larger than In
tho first regatta of the class, two weeks
ago. It was divided into the usual four
classe?, and when Handicapper Charles
P. Tower had finished his figuring
Henry Carson's Fontiac was found to
be the winner among the first division
craft on both actual and corrected
times.
Sally IX a Victor
The same trick was turned by A. E.
Black's Sally IX in the second division.
Although ?he won by almost five min?
utes actual timo, so clever was the
handicapping that Sally IX only de?
feated Nadia by 22 seconds for first
place. Among the third division boats,
Robin Hood II beat Acadian on both
actual and corrected times.
Two of the Ltrchmont lnterclub
boats sailed for the first time in the
fourth division, being placed on
?cratch. E'Bar, the property of Luko
Lockwood, one of the strangers, proved
too fast for the fleet, and won on both
actual and corrected times. No date
was announced for the next race of the
association. However, it probably will
be held In two weeks.

Casey Stengel Is One of Those Southpaws, but
He Acts as Though He Were a Civilized Person
Dodger Outfielder Full of,
Dash and Pepper on
Diamond
By W. J. MACBETH
If ?11 they s?y about left-handed
pitchers Is true (?nd they do s?y that ?
? all southpaws should keep away from ?
' the squirrels), then Casey Stengel, of
' the Dodgers, has missed his real voca?
tion.
Casey, who plays right field for Wil
bert Robinson's champion Dodgers, is
j not exactly hiding his light under a
! bushel, as it is. There are few better ,
j outfielders in the National League than '.
he, but still there are some. As a
southpa*7T, though, he would b? In a
cl?ss by himself?that Is, if eccentri?
city is a true line on portside gre?t- i
ness. For, friend C?sey, to say the |
very le?st, Is Just ?bout ?? eccentric
?s they com?.
No Use for Primrose Path
His eccentricities do not p?rallel the ,
; lines of ?orne famous players of the '
i past and present. Ho has little use
j for the primrose path which Rube ,
Waddell travelled in his glory. There's
; nothing mean in hi? make-up, such as
: detracted from the ability of Tabasco
KM Elberfeld. His eccentricity is j
somewhat akin to that of John J.
Ever?, the celebrated Trojan. Casey
Stengel revels in action and excitement.
He has the happy ltacuity of stirring
things up whenever he la around.
Much of Stengel's dash and pepper
is lost to the home crowds because of
his unfortunate situation in the out?
field. A fellow away out in the garden
; cannot make enough noise to be heard
j in the stand like the chatter of an in
| fielder. Yet Stengel has press-agented '
i himself so well that he is a prime fa
i vorite with the bleacherites not only
! at home but throughout the circuit. He
! is a lad of color, no doubt about that.
It i? doubtful if there is a more
j popular player, so far a? Flatbush is
concerned. Casey Stengel has many of
the attributes of real greatness in his
profes?ion. To begin with, he in ear?
nest and con?cientiou? in his ent7e?vor?. '
He play?, every percentage that can ;
, favor hun.rlf or th?- ciub. He i? not;

gives nothing more of the last ounce of
energy in running out a hit. Stengel is
one of the few major league player? of
this age who runs out everything just
as hard as he can.
Carrie*? Sound Wallop
Casey carries a pretty sound wallop,
too. Hi will improve bit hitting right
along, for he practises assiduously.
And he is not the most affable batter to
confront a pitcher in a tight place. For
Stengel is most likely to hit where his
hit will do the most damage. Love of
show and limelight somehow force? him
to rise to emergencies.
Because of hi? dash and display and
kit whole-hearted enthusiasm Stengel
is doubtles? more strongly intrenched
in the sympathies of Flatbush than
either Zach Wheat or Jake Daubert,
supposedly the two deadliest swatters
of the Dodgers. Zach and Jnke are of
the passive type. They go about their
work in masterly style, but ju?t as if
th?lr deed? were part of a routine
grind.
Judging him strictly on hii merit? a?
a ?ii'fensive player, no regular of the
National League champions outshine?
this rii;ht fielder. For the right field at
Brooklyn is one of the most treach?
erous sun fields to be found on the cir?
cuit. It is quite as difficult as left field
of the Polo' ("rounds, where G?orgie
Burns patrols in masterful style. Out?
side of Burns, who is the last word in
outfielding skill, no one in the National
League can do better than Stengel in a
tierce glare. He come? in well and he
goes out well for purzling die? and for
fierce liners. <';.,??> can throw with
th?' very brM o' tlirr?
Lake moat of Charl?? M. bbb?U'i
Jewels, Casey Stengel cost the Brooklyn
club very little money. The Christopher
Columbus of the draft gathered him
in from Aurora, of the Illinois-Wiscon
| sin League back in 1911. He gathered
. him while Casey was still a bit green,
principally on the reputation of a Jfl
batting average for 121 games. But by
judicious farming in ?rood minor league
company the Squire of Flatbush was
able finally to develop a gem from a
jewel in the rough.
Casey is a nickname that accrued
to Stengel because of his impromptu
: histrionic efforts to entertain his bush
league companions at the time ? cer?
tain song, "Casey Jones," was very
popular. It followed him up to the big
, ?how. For Ca-sey, like his namesake,
the engineer, had many a collision and
', bump before he finally got around to
. the time when major league idol wor
; ?hippers hung around for a close-up
after the game,. The family knows him
by Charles D. Stengel. *
Ready for Army
Casey is only twenty-six years old.
As he ha*, lived an exceptionally clean
life the best years of hi? athletic life
should lie ahead of him. Of course.
: this m?y be his laat season in ba.iebal!,
i for Casey is patriotic. He intend? to
offer his services to the country at th?
close of the present campaign, either
as ?n ?rtilleryman or a candidate for
the navy. He just insists on hangin?
around big guns where there will be
' most chance for plenty of noise and ex
! citement.
Stengel was born ?nd raised in Kan
i sas City. Mo, and in liUn, at the age
of nlneUen, wa? given an oppartvnttj
Fiatbush Fans Just Begin?

Star Player
I with the American Assiciation club of
?kl? native citv. His experience up to
; that time had been limited to school1
and amateur ball. It was soon seen a
; that he was not ready for a fast minor
; league, so Kansas City sent Casey to
' Kankakee under optional agreement.
The Northern Association, of which
1 Kankakee was a number, exploded on
?July 20. Whereupon Kansas Cit?*|
transferred its option on Stengel to
t ?I.iysville, of tho Blue Grass League.
Stengel was recalled that fall for fur
j ther trial. The following spring Kan
' sas City fnrnieii out Stengel to the
? Aurora club of the Wisconsin-Illinois |
I League. It was here that Larry Sut
! ton, scout of the Dodgers, discovered
1 Stengel and advised Charles II. Ebbets
to put In a draft for the player.
Stengel was one of some forty-odd
youngsters r.warded to Brooklyn in the
draft of 1111. There was such a herd
of colts that no manager could prop?
erly study all of them. Stengel was
farmed out to Toronto, of the Interna?
tional League, without trial. He went
to the Canadian city under option of
recall.
Before the Toronto club left the
South the following spring Stengel was
released to Montgomery, of the South?
ern Association. In .a*?? games with
Montgomery he batted .20*"?. Brooklyn,
therefore, exercised its option in the
fall of 1917, haled Casey back from
Montgomery and found in him a pretty
fine baseball player. He has played
regularly with the Dodgers through
the last four campaigns.

Metropolitan Crew
Wins on Harlem
The MetroBolitan Boat Club, with a
sprinting finish, captured the centipede
race, which featured the annual rowin-f
regatta of the Nonpareil Rowing Club,
held on the Harlem River yesterday.
During the greater part of the half
mile course the Met? waited behind
the pacemaking Bohemian Boat Club
crew, and 100 yards from the finish
spurted. In short order the Metro?
politan oarsmen had pulled up on even
terms with iheir rivals, and, never
slackening their stroke, pulled away to
win by one length.
James Ehlers was the most success?
ful competitor of the day. After taking
the junior singles race. Ehlcrs, teamed
