Americans Make Clean Sweep in Olympic Sprinr^rSiisiT^lnn Breali-Tjavelin Record Every U. S. Athlete Entered In 3 Track Events Qualifies Finland Takes First Four Places in Javelin Throw; Murchison, Scholz, Paddock and Kirltsey Easily Win Their Heats in 100 Meter Dash By Arthur S. Draper Special Cable io The Tribune (Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc.) ANTWERP, Aug. 15.?Except in the javelin throw, where a quartet cf Finns toyed with the world's record, Americans did practically every thing expected! of them the first day of the seventh Olympiad meeting. The largest cheering section in the stadium was occupied by Ameri? can?, and they found plenty'of opportunities to applaud. In fact, it was almost one continuous roar from the time Ar.gier hurled the javelin until Kirksey closed the day's competition by winning the last heat of the 100 rr.eter dash. Gustavua T. Kirby acted as choer< leader, and he filled his r?le just as sat sfactorily as did the American sprinters, hurdlers, high jumpers and middle distancera. If there was any intment to the Americans it was the failure of Earl Eby to stay with Rudd, the Oxonian-South African, ran the greatest race of the day in winning his heat of the 800-rneter event One of the features of the meet was the wonderful showing made by the smaller countries and the high standard of the competition.

Barnes Shows Brilliant Golf At Flossinoor Tall Player, Paired With Tweedie, Has Best Ball of 68; Split First Prize By Ray McCarthy CHICAGO, 111., Aug. 15.?As a side? show to the main event this week over the course of the Flossmoor Country Club, the national professional go?f championship tournament, an amateur professional tourney was held to-day with twenty-six pairs competing. The list included all of the stars who will play for the pro title and a dozen or more prominent amateur players of this section. Despite the fact the pros were shoot? ing mostly to get a line on the course some wonderful scores were turned in. Long Jim Barnes and his partner, Dan? iel Tweedie, one of Flossmoor's best, and big Bob MacDonald, of the Bob o' Link Club, paired with William Weber, of this city, led the field home. Each team had a best ball of 68 and as a result split the first prize of $100. The amateurs received medals. Jim Changes His Mind Barnes had not intended to compete in this meet. We accompanied the St. Louisan to the scene of battle, and going out he stated his trip was merely to look over the course. "I'm over golfed," he said, "and am going to rest up for the tournament." But when he reached -the clubhouse Jim couldn't resist the temptation of entering the combat?what golfer can? ?and, shedding his coat, he took his clubs and went forth to do battle. He was the last one off. However, the big fellow soon fell into his stride, and proceeded to give the large gallery that trailed after him a wonderful exhibi? tion of golf shooting. Barnes kept pace with the others on the outward trip, but it wasn't until the turn was reached that he hit his game. Then he simply ran wild. Birdies followed in. rapid succession, and the return trip of S3 strokes, with the exception of the seventeenth, was Barnes's best ball. The tall or.e was fortunate in hav? ing a player of Tweedie's caliber, for his remarkable play on the last four holes going out clipped two strokes from par and aided materially in land? ing the prize. The best ball card of this pair was as follows: Par 4?36 Barnes an<'. -r.-: 3 5 4 4 4 3 5 3 4 4 Tweedie? 54544423 4 5 332 3 44 4. 4 Weber Gets Two Birdies Bob MacDonald, who can hit them about as far as Ted Ray or Babe Ruth, was also fortunate in getting some val? uable aid from his amateur partner. On the homeward journey, for instance, Weber* got two birdies and an eagle on the last three holes, which is quite seme golf shooting. Their best bail c_rd was: MacDonald and Weber? 44544443 5?3 6 ?68 It looked for awhile as though Paddy I Doyle and his fifteen-year-old side- j kick, Herbert D. Skinned, were going I to divide the spoils with Clarence Hackney, the Atlantic City profes- ! sional, and his partner, J. T. "Henry. | Each pair had a score of 70. Shortly j after they came in, Alfred, Hackbarth , and H. B. Sullivan came along with another 70, and finally Barnes and his j partner and MacDonald and his I amateur checked in and spoiled the ! party. The national professional tourna- ' ment, expected to be the best ever held, : this year, will be held as originally planned, from Tuesday until Saturday. It was decided >at Toledo last week to hold the meet from Monday until Friday, but the professionals pre? ferred to have one day in which to rest up and it was moved forward again. The tourney will be held under the knock-out system?that is, ! match play?which means that the con? tests will all be keen and swift. The Floosmoor Club, one of the best in the Chicago district so far as the greens go, is in wonderful condi? tion. Many of the fairways are dry and fast, due to the lack of rain here, which may or may not be a good thing for the players. The pros do not like fast fairways, but low scores are quite apt to be the rule. The scores: Jim Barnes. Sunset Hills, and Douglas Tweedie Chicago.... 35 33?6S Bob MacDonald.

Reduced from 21.50 to 17.20 Imported Wool Sox 3.75 White with colored clox Women's Sport Oxfords Reduced from 20.00 to 16.00 IN ALL FAIRNESS By ,W. O. M'GEEHAN A BALTIMORE alienist advances the theory that the baseball fan is a nut and that he is suffering from a penumbra! mental condition, which, perhaps, is a roundabout way of saying that there is some? thing loose in his bean. The exhibition at the Polo Grounds Saturday might be offered in evidence of a decidedly penumbral or batty condition of the think-tanks hereabouts. With the score tied twice by home runs with two men on bases, the bugs of this vicinity hurled straw hats to the extent of many bales and to the value of many thousands of dollars into the diamond. This-penumbral condition of the bean or think-tank is far-reaching* In ?he big leagues at least it is affecting the population from where the silvery Harlem River flows to the shores of Lake Michigan and back. The condition exists also in those unfortunate communities that have not yet seen Babe Ruth bust one. There are minor Babe Ruths in the minors to bring about the penumbral condition. It is the new Dementia Americana. The nation is extensively bughouse. And what of it? It was foreseen by all but a few of the baseball magnates that there would be a big sp,orting revival following the war, and, naturally, this re? vival would affect the national game before all other sports. Prohibition also has helped to swell the attendance at baseball games. It is hard to guess at this time with any degree of accuracy what the increased attend? ance at baseball games'over the biggest year in the past will be at the end of the current season. The New York American League team probably will have played to nearly 2,500,000 persons suffering from a penumbral mental condition and glad to get that way. The Yankees, of course, have the biggest drawing card in baseball, and perhaps in all professional sports. They come for miles to see him, and they bring their young sons to see the Babe "bust one." The Colossus of Swat, dwarfing all the popular idols of the past and making tall fences seem low-lying and frail barriers, has put a new punch into the American game. But the game is not all Babe Ruth. Intercity and interborough rivalries have been accentuated, and the game has grown beyond all the dreams of its pioneers. ? When Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Colonel T. L. Huston bought the Yankee baseball team a crowd of 3,000 was considered a good one. This year the Yankees have been averaging something like 20,000 persons a game in attendance. By the end of the playing year they will have played to more people than any baseball team of the past. The penumbral mental condition of these multitudes seems to be something of recent development. How About a Chairman? ?T WOULD be well for the baseball magnates to foster this penumbra! *" mental condition for the sake of the future of their investments. The life of the game depends upon its being kept clean. Actual baseball scan? dals have been remarkably scarce. With the growth of the game's popu? larity it seems up to those who control it to see that it is even mor? strongly safeguarded, for the big money in baseball is making th< gamblers even more anxious to cut into it somehow and somewhere. For the sake of the game's future the matter of a chairman for th? National Commission, the ruling body in professional baseball, or whai should be the ruling body, should be selected immediately. Moreover, th< chairman of the National Commission should be a man nationally known a man in whom the followers of baseball would have implicit confidence and not a figurehead who could be controlled by any faction or faction; in baseball. The political side of professional baseball is nothing to produce ? penumbral mental condition. The fans are not interested much in wha the magnates do unless their machinations have some decided effect upoi the playing of the game. But it does seem utterly ridiculous that th> magnates are not able to select a chairman for the National Commissioi and one whom the public at large will trust. This silly deadlock must b broken. Must Stop Ruffianism TPHE average baseball magnate seems closely relaced to the ostrich, whic. bird is said to bury his bean in the sand on the approach of troubk One of* the magnates has offered as a solution of the throwing of po; bottles at the players and the umpires the abolition of pop. This is typica of the wisdom of the magnate. ? If the baseball parks are crowded with embryo yeggmen, disposed t hurl missiles as evidence of their disapproval, they will bring their ow: weapons. The magnates admit their own weakness and the viciousness o numbers of their .patrons if they advocate this actual compromise wit ruffianism.- If they compromise with this sort of patronage their gam certainly will suffer. There is just one place for a potential assassin who would try to mail or kill a player or a baseball official, and that is the nearest penitentiary This sort of creature must be rooted out of the grandstand and bleacher: Time was when a fairly rough element used to visit baseball games, but n ! long-er. The baseball fans of to-day are of the best. The percentage < ! women and children at baseball games is a big one now. One of tr, j prettiest and most refreshing sights at the games these days is tr. ! picture of mothers bringing the small boys to the ball parks. This deve , opment is now threatened by the recent outbursts of ruffianism. The magnates cannot stop these conditions by adopting the tactics < ! the ostrich and stopping the pop. They must cooperate with the polit and send some of these sneaking assassins to the penitentiary. If the ba parks are populated with potential murderers, who are not to be trust? I with pop bottles at hand, then it is time to close the ball parks. But thei are oniy a few of these, and the magnates must get rid of thhem. The New Boxing Commission i npo THE surprise of all those interested, Governor Smith chose as men i bers of the new Boxing Commission men who have not in the pa. been associated with the professional boxing game. On the whole th policy seems a wise one. The members of the new board take up the work unhampered by connections with the promoters. It seems a vei good board, one under which professional boxing will get a fair chance ? i prove its right to exist. Professional boxing will be on trial. Its past record has been qui : unsavory. Its war record was nothing to brag about. But it is not tl \ brutal and degrading sport that some have called it. It is worth whi when it is conducted decently. It will last if the fixers and the croo! are kept out of it. There is no need to advise the new boxing board as to the advisabili of watching closely the conduct of boxing bouts. The past shame I boxing is an open book. The evils of the game as it used to be are st shrieking. Whether or not the new board, can make the game wor j while again remains to be seen. At any rate, the personnel of the boa ' selected by the Governor indicates that, if they do not rehabilitate pi ? fessional boxing it will mean that professional boxing cannot be rehabi tated. Matches for Dempsey , JA.CK DEMPSEY, heavyweight champion of the world, is in the W< training for what is to be his first bout since he won the championsr from Jess Willard. It is not much of a bout at that, for unless Demps has deteriorated considerably from a physical standpoint, Billy Mis f hould be what is technically called a set-up for him. Incidentally, Den sey has signed articles to meet Kayo Bill Brennan, and probably will m< him in New York before the end of the year. This does not promise ai \ thing in the way of thrills, for Dempsey has already caressed Kayo W j iam with a right to the chin. Watching Dempsey knock out Miske or Brennan would be like wat ing Babe Ruth bat fungo flies or hit home runs against pitchers from 1 I sticks. It seems that eventually Dempsey will have to meet Wills, ? I negro fighter, who may or may not give him a battle. At any rate, it ? certain that the bouts with Miske and Brennan will be nothing much to s Grand Circuit Stars Appear in East^ To-day PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.?The Grand Circuit stars will open their Eastern campaign to-morrow at the Belmont Driving Club's track at Narberth, Pa., and everything points to the fourth meeting held at this track surpassing the others in the class of racing, num? ber of entries and number of horses getting the word. Despita the steady showers of the last week, the track is j in excellent condition. I A dash race at one mile 100 yards 1 for trotters eligible to a 2:04 class for ?i purse of $1,000 and a race for three year-old trotters eligible to a 2:10 .class from which the winner of the I $2,000 stake for age is barred have ! been added to the original program. ; The five days' card will contain a total ? of twenty events. All the principal racing stables will be represented. -.-. Snapper Wins Yacht Race GREENWICH, Conn., Aug. 15.?The Snapper, owned by Frank H.

Macbeth SARATOGA, Aug. 15.?The Saratoga race meeting has warmed up to the i boiling point, and for the next two weeks and a half plenty of entertain- ] ment and excitement in the thorough- ? bred sport is promised. Though a number of high-class stakes for the j two-year-olds, the three-year-olds arfd ? the older divisions have already been { run, by far the richest are yet in prospect, and for these all of the best j thoroughbreds in training are being pointed. It is not likely that all of the best j two-year-olds will meet on a common battleground for championship honors ! before the treasured Hopeful is run '< at the tail end of the meeting. The Hopeful enjoys a prestige second only to the Futurity. It stands to the Futurity in two-year-old rating as the ; rich Preakness stands to the Kentucky Derby in three-year-old appraising. As ? the Hopeful is likely to be worth some j $35,000 this year it can readily be ; realized what ambitions it stirs in the minds of the owners and trainers. Several Rich Stakes Several rfch two-year-old stakes are ! to be contested prior to the running ' of the Hopeful, and these should bring, out practically all of the favored can? didates. It is quite likely that some I will sidestep others for the time, but ! more than likely entries will be made ! in such a way that all will receive ! trials before the running of the big | race. It is understood that Ii\cheape, gen? erally conceded the most promising colt of the season, is to be seen under colors against this week. Samuel C. Hildreth paid $150,000 to J. H. Rossiter for the two-year-old after Inchcape j had won a couple of impressive races at Aqueduct. Shortly after the pur? chase Inchcape was afflicted with a skin disease, but he has entirely re? covered after a rest in this healthful horse haven and is galloping at his best.^again. Good as he is or was, Inchcape is bound to experience far keener con? tention than "did Man o' War a year! ago. Some very exceptional fillies and colts have already flashed brilliantly j across the racing horizon. Harry Payne Whitney has a strong pair in the unbeaten colt Tryster and i the filly Prudery that ran one, two i Saturday in the Saratoga Special, j Friends of Jimmy Rowe insist there j are several more in the stable not yet j seen under colors that may eventually i surpass the two named in class. J. W. McClellar.d's colt Leonardo 2d, Mrs. Wilfrid Viau's filly Ten Lee and T. J. O'Brien's colt Pluribus, the rank-, ing candidates for two-year-old honors at the moment are ail so closely drawn together in the matter of form that the question of superiority can be de cided only in actual competition among one another. Outsider May Triumph If the word of the dockers stands for anything there may be one or two under cover able to outstep any of those mentioned at the Hopeful dis? tance. It is every owner's ambition to develop another Man o' War this year, and many shrewd trainers are kidding themselves into the belief that such ; ambition will be realized. The Quincy Stable's Playfellow, a full brother to Man o' War, showed little in his first two starts. But in a '? race last week, after being herded into : the top of the stretch, he shot down : through the field after the fashion of his illustrious brother. Playfellow will bear watching from now on. J. E. Widener is reported to have several high-class two-year-olds that : are still to show for the first time. He uncovered one the other afternoon ir. N'ahant, which would have given H. P. Whitney's Ararat, an impressive victor on its first start, a real argument had Nahant ran true for Turner through the stretch. Mr. Rosseter, who sold Inchcape, thinks he has a couple left in the barn superior to that colt. These are Montalvo and Merchant Marine, which have not yet gone to the post. The Western delegation, which has begun to cut some figure in the racing swirl, has also designs on the remain? ing stakes. E. R. Bradley has shown one or two high-class two-year-olds. It, is said he has others upon the point of springing. But the real race of the season here, ' in the opinion of everybody, is the,, Saratoga Cup at a mile and three-quar? ters, in which it is expected Man o' War and Sir Barton will meet at weight for age. Certain it is Man o' War will not : dodge ?he issue. Nor will Sir Barton. The Ross four-year-old is right a: the. top of his form, after a long rest, end ' it will take a Man o' War at his very best to beat him over such a route. - Swedish Football Team Downs Americans, 5 to 2 STOCKHOLM, Aug. 15.?The Swed-. ish Olympic football team defeated the I All St. Louis Association football team, ; 5 to 2. to-day.

Tennis Players _: By Frank Getty Special Cable to The Tribuns Copyright. 1920. New York Tribune Inc. LONDON, Aug. 15.?English sports? men are rejoicing to-day over the un? expected victory of "Ted" Ray, the Oxhey professional in the United States open golf championship at Toledo. In the triumph of Ray, with Harry Yardon tying for second honors, England finds some solace for the recent decisive de-1 feats at the hands of American tennis players, as well as for the defeat of Vardon and Ray by Francis Ouimet in j 1913?something this country has never ! forgotten. This makes but the third victory, two being Vardon's successes in 1900 ! and H. H. Hilton's capture of the i amateur title. Ray won the open cham- ! pionship of Great Britain in 1912, but since that time his golf in this country has been characterized by terrific drives, with consequent loss of accu? racy. Often in championship play he i has been known to overdrive into un- ! thinkable rough places, getting eights on an otherwise perfect card and ? thereby sacrificing the championship. Ray is known here as sharing with Massey the title of the most cheerful professional golfer. A few years ago some professional presented the Oxhey favorite with an extraordinary club with a piece of iron bolted ir.to the face, and with this club Ray performed prodigies in hitting.

Thirty Tenni? Teams to Seek Doubles Title AH Sections Represented at Longwood ; Johnston arid Griffin to Try Again By Fred Hawthorne NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 15.?The scene shifts to-morrow from the Casino courts to the turf of the Lor.gwood Cricket Club, at Chestnut Bill, just outside of Boston, where the national doubles lawn tenn?3 championship be? gins. Thirty teams, representing all sections of the country, will take tho courts in the straggles that are to de? cide who shall succeed Norman Brookes and Gerald Patterson, of Australia, as the next holders of the title. Brookes and his partner will not da fend at Longwood, although when they left this country last fail Brookes told me it was hi3 ambition to return and compete again against America's best. But in spite of the sbser.ce of the men from the Antipodes, the field that will gather for the fray will be a mighty one. William M. Johnston and Clarence J. Griff.n, holders of the doubles crowns on two previous occasions, are due to make a notable bid to regain their title, and they must be regarded as among the most serious contenders. Defeated at Newport by Richard Harte and Mor? ris Williams in the final round on Fri? day, Johnston and Griffin were so near? ly on a level of playing efficiency with the Easterners that the result of that match should not be regarded as in? dicative of future meetings between the two pairs. Johnston had played Willis Davis a stiff three-set match in the semi-final round of the singles and Grifft:? had been carried to four sets by Roland Roberts, on the morning of their meet? ing with Harte and Williams on Friday, so that it is highly probable the keen edge had been taken from their speed and staying power in the afternoon struggle. The title would seem to lie between these two teams, however, and they are so closely linked in ability that the issue must remain in doubt until the tourney at Longwood is finished, tak? ing it for granted that the luck of the draw should throw them together. Davis and Roberts, Washburn and Mathey, Man and Manan, Hall and Beekman, Voshell and Alexander and four or five other strong teams may work an upset before the final round match is played, but I do not look for the ?winners outside of the two teams I first r.amed. From Longwood the players will t.?h?9 the far journey to the Meadow Club, of Southampton, where the final great testing tournament of the season gets under way on Monday, August 23. This event usually allows the contend? ers for. the singies title to work the last rough edges oft* their strokes and achieve just the proper physical condi? tion that will carry them through the stress of play at Forest Hills. The Meadow Club has always been fortunate in attracting a representative entry of the country's greatest stars, and it is probable that we shall see some of the most stirring matches of the year on the splendid turf courts by the sea.
