Navy Crew Defeats Britons by Half Length, in World's Record Time Annapolis Men Set Record in Olympic Victory continued from page ?n?) slowiy on the British eight, and it was only a case of whether the race would ; he leng enough for them to win. With a scant 150 yards left the ? Americans came up on even terms with ; their opponents, and though the Brit- : i$h fought gp.mcly it was clear then ! that nothing could hold the midship- j mcn. inch by inch they slipped past the famous Leander crew, until they were nearly a half length ahead as they flashed in front of the judges. Americans Win Three Races The Navy's victory was a tilting cli? max to a day of successes for the United States, only the Pennsylvania ? barge failing its supporters. Wo had four entries in the finals, and three won, while the Pennsylvania barge fin? ished second to the Swiss. No other country had more than one winner. Jack Kelly, of the Vesper Club, Philadelphia, had a double success, win? ning the double scull race with his cousin, Costello, also' of Philadelphia, and winning the singles after a fierce! battle with John Beresford jr., winner, of the Diamond Sculls at the Henley ! regatta. Kelly's margin of victory was a ' ?cant uoat length after rowing second i for the first mile. Through the last I quarter it still seemed either man's ' race. The American said after the race t'-at it was a harder battle than he ha I yesterday with Hatfteld, the New Zoalander. Beresfcrd was in great distress after the event, but Kelly came out only an hour later and with Costello rowed to ? an easy victory over the French and Italians. Heavy Backing for Kelly The Midshipmen backed Kelly so heavily that a 6-franc ticket paid only 75 centimes. Still wearing his rowing togs, Jack stood on The bank and led the cheer? ing for the Annapolis men as they came down the final stretch of water. Later . he and Costello, with Brand Whltlock, United States Ambassador to ! Belgium, posed with the Navy crew for j the photographers. Italy, France and Switzerland were rowing abreast at fifty yards from the ! finish in the doubles with coxwain, but the Italians had the greatest amount of reservo strength and managed to pass the mark a boat's length in front of the French, who had stopped rowing before the end was reached because of the terri lie pace. The Swiss also collapsed before the : finish. With the exception of the American victory in the doubles, every race proved a thriller and the greatest crowd which attended any Olympic ' gport was present. America has now won the champion? ship in 'track and field, swimming, ; boxing, catch-as-catch-can wrestling, shooting and rowing. Three More Records Made by Americans In Olympic Swim ANTWERP, Aug. 29 (By The AssocI-; 8ted Pressj.?The American swimming team won the final of the 800-meter! relay race here to-day, creating a new Olympic record of 10 minutes 4 2-5 sec-; onda. The team was composed of Duke Kahanomoku, Honolulu; Norman Ross,' Illinois A. C; Perry McGillivray, Illi? nois A. C, and P. Kealoha, Honolulu. The Australian team finished second and the English team third. ' The old Olympic record, 10 minutes 11 1-5 sec? onds, was made by the Australian team in the Stockholm Olympics of 1912. The Americans made a clean sweep in the springboard diving for women. Miss Aileen Riggin, New York, win? ning, with Miss Helen Wainwright, New York, second, and Miss Thelma Payne, Portland, third. The final of the 100-meter free style was won by Duke Kahanamoku, Hono- ? lulu, in 1 minute 12-5 seconds. (The I previous record was 1:02 2-5). Kealoha, i Honolulu, was second; W. W. Harris,' Honolulu, third, and Herald, Australia,' fourth. The. final in the 400-meter relay for women was won by the American team, composed of Ethelda Bleibtrey, Irene Guest, Mrs. Frances Schroth and Mar- ; g?ret Woodhridge, in 5 minutes 114-5 seconds. (A new Olympic record.) Great Britain was second and Sweden third. In the final heat of the 200-meter ' breast stroke Malcoth. Sweden, was first, in 3 minutes 4 2-5 seconds; Hen-i r.ing, Sweden, was second; Aaltonen, Finland, third; J. Howell. of Oakland, Calif.', fourth. The Olympic record for this event is 3 minutes 1 4-5 seconds. '? C. Pinkston, of the Olympic Club, I Kirksey of California Equals World Record For 200-Meter Run COLOMBES, France, Aug. 29.? Morris* M. Kirksey, of the Olympic Club, of San Francisco, equaled the world*? record for the 200-meter run here to-day by win? ning the event after a great fight with Lorrain, of France. The California youth was all In at the finish and nearly collapsed, It being the fastest race of his career. A. Hahn, of America, created the record in 1904, and although it has been equaled several times, the mark has never been bettered. ?San, Francisco, to-day won tho final of tho fancy diving contest of tho Olympic games. The American de? feated Allerr, of Sweden, for the honor. IT. Prioste, Los Angeles A. C, was given third place and L, J. Bahlback, New York A. C, sixth. Welliech, of Brazil, was placed seventh. U. S. Athletes Score Heavily in Games Held at Colombes COLOMBES, France, Aug. 29 (By The Associated PressL.The United States again to-day carried away first honors in a monster athletic meet organized by the Union of Sporting Federations of Franco. The event had been widely advertised in tho French newspapers during the last week as "a revenge for tho Antwerp Olympic'games." The American team scored a total of ir,-l points; Sweden, 128, and France, 78. Notwithstanding tho cool and dis? agreeable weather some 25,000 persons gathered in tho stadium to watch the athletes. A strong wind blowing across the field made fast timo by the distance runners impossible. France in the long runs was handicapped by the absence of her star performer, Guillemot, who is still lame. Gaston -Vidal, deputy president of the Union of Sporting Federations, said to-day that France would make a strong bid for tho Olympic games of 1924. "If wo can gather 25,000 spectators together after a hurried four or fivo day organization one may imagine how ? many persons would turn out and what a success real Olympic games would achieve if held in Paris in 1924, with i lie French people prepared for them ai year in advance."

Putting Will Likely Decide Amateur Golf Championship Fellow Doing Best Work on Greens Should Come Close to Landing Title By Ray McCarthy The fellow who sinks his putts con- ' slstently in the national amateur j championship next week is the one who is going to carry off the cham? pionship. This is no prophecy, much ? less a guess of ouija's. It's simply a tnere statement of fact, as true an axiom as there is in the game of golf. The title, wo acain repeat, will be de? termined on the greens just as most other championships have been de? cided. Boor putting cost Harry Vardon the ?tie at Inverness recently. Had the veteran Briton sank one-half of the easy tans he flubbed ho would have j romped home. Leo Diegel didn't win j out because his aim on the greens was crooked. Jock Hutchinson made a lot i of easy ones close, but a miss is as grood as a mile in any game, and ! nearly" isn't in. Jack Burke can figure he, too, lost ; out because of misguided putts. Ray. a beautiful putter, banged the back of the cup and got most of his. Ray was the winner, whereas had one of the four others, playing as well if not ?etter in the other departments than 'he burly Britisher, dropped two of the cne thousand and one chances he had on the green he would have been out "i front. A dub or a star can hook his drive t? a trap and he has still a chance of recovering and maintaining a good ?core. He can slam an iron shot to the rough or to a hunker; he mav top his brassie and still he may keep pace with the leader But nobody, not even King Solomon himself, can or could ever re? cover a fl ?bbed putt. A missed putt re? mains a missed putt, and all the fine wives and all the great iron shots can't fc^fee it good. ? was astonighing the number of easy putts that were gummed un in the j national open play at Toledo. "We can see them all now, first one and then | another, falling down on a two-foot roll j that ordinarily could be wished in. On ? the first two rounds we accompanied \ the former champion, Walter Hagen. j Walter, can lay the whole blame to his putting. 'Tis true he roamed off the course frecuiently, but in most cases he reached the green without any extra strokes, and had he made good on half of his chances on the greens he would have kept his title. Ted Ray missed them as well as the \ others, but the point is that ho didn't miss as marly. On his second round he took three putts on the eighteenth green?remarkable, to say the least, for 11 im. The reason?if we analyze it correct? ly everybody was on edge. In fact, each fellow was so much at attention he was getting away from his natural stride this includes Vardon and Ray - and the result was pinched putts in many cases. To make a putt from a distance of twenty feet one must give the ball a chance. No more so than from a point three feet distant. In most cases these easy putts were missed be? cause they were tapped too lightly and curled up before they reached the cup. Of the five expected to set the pace in next week's maelstrom- Herr?n, Ouimet, Jones, Evans and Gardner?the first two are by far the bettor putters. Reasoning thus they ought to be the finalists. Well they might, but, of course, that doesn't necessarily follow, particularly if either Herron or Oui? met is on his game. Jerry Travers is an excellent putter, but he hasn't the stamina he used to have nor is his game so far as driving and iron play is concerned as good as it used to i*e. Still, if Jerry can stand the grind he will be heard from. Jones, Evans and Gardner, all grand players, will have to get down those putts which seem so inconsequent at the time but which count mightily in the long run. It will be interesting to watch this angle of the game next week. Title Tourney Starts To-day At Forest Hills Johnston, Tilden, Richards and Williams Strong Con? tenders for Tennis Title By Fred Hawthorne The grand finale of the lawn tennis season in this country begins at 1 o'clock this afternoon, when the men's annual national singles championship tournament start3 on tho turf courts of the West Side Tennis Club at For? est Hillt:. The eyes of tho tennis players and followers of the game will be centered on two men this week, William M. Johnston, of California, tho present national champion, and William T: Tilden 2d, of Philadelphia, the world's ?champion. It is the prevailing opinion among the majority of those who follow the game closely that cither one of theso players will come through the great field of 128 that will begin the gruel? ing struggle for the title now held by little Johnston, and that Tilden and the national champion are almost in a class by themselves among the players of the world. Others Have Chance While I believe that these two men should bo the outstanding contenders by reason of past performances, I have a more or less settled conviction that there are one or two others in the field who must be given serious considera? tion. Tilden won the so-called "world's singles championship" on grass at Wimbledon this summer, a truly notable performance when the high and representative quality of the field is taken into account. Here were gath? ered the greatest players in all the world?Johnston, Norris, Williams, J. Cecil Parke, Zenso Shimldzu, Gobert, Deargis an?! Gerald Patterson, of Aus? tralia, the defending world's champion. Williams went out early in the fray; Johnston, America's greatest hope, was downed by the mighty veteran Parke, who, in turn, was humbled by Tilden, as was Shmidzu, the great little Jap? anese, until finally Tilden faced Pat? terson in the challenge round and de? feated hir? with ease. Before the tournament Johnston had beaten Tilden in the final round of I the London championship at the Queen's Club, and later, at Norwood, j Johnston vanquished Parke in the semi- j final round, only to yield to Williams ! in the final brackets. Tilden has played no tournament ! singles since his return to this country, j about three weeks ago. In the doubles, ' paired with Charles S. Garland, of , Pittsburgh, he has not been very sue- ' cessful. After winning at Newport Til- ? den and Garland were defeated in the j semi-final round of the national ; doubles championship at Longwood by ! Willis Davis and Roland Roberts, and j last Saturday, at Southampton, were j beaten in five furious sets by young! Vincent Richards and Ralph Burdiek, a ! scrub combination thptUP had never ! played as a team beforelast week. It is true that the fault for these de? feats rested almost wholly upon Gar- ! land, whose work failed to measure up to Davis Cup standards, but even so, | Tilden's tennis has not been so con- : vincing as we have a right to expect. ? from a man of his tremendous capa- ? bilitles. Garland at Fault The luck of the draw has placed Til- i den in the easy half. He will not be beset by nearly as many pitfalls as will fall to Johnston's lot in the second quarter. Vincent Richards, the seven- ! teen-year-old winner of the singles and . doubles at the Meadow Club's South? ampton tournament on Saturday, and Roland Roberts are the only opponents Tilden has to fear on his way to the final round. And it is this same Richards whom I regard as one of the real contenders for the championship of 1920. This amazing young player gave ' proof at Southampton last week, if any . were needed, that he must be seriously considered in any,company. It had; been thought, until the final round of i the Meadow Club doubles match, that Richards could not stand up under ex- ' treme speed and hard hitting. Rich- : ards exploded that theory by the cool, efficient way in which he handled Til- , den's terrific "bullet" servie?. This prodigy of American tennis, after a period of comparative mediocre success last season, followed by several months' absence from tournament play this summer, during which time he was '? developing strength and putting on weight on nn Iowa farm, has come back to the game with added confidence and ; a new ambition, and he must not be taken lightly by any other man in the great tourney that begins to-day. Johnston Faces Task Johnston has a mighty task on his hands if he is to shoulder his way through the stalwart opposition that; blocks his path to the final bracket. Rarely has a champion faced so many I dangerous seekers after his laurels. In this second quarter are, besides the little champion, Williams, Davis and Griffin, a mighty host. Even supposing Johnston were to fight his way through the ranks of. these rivals, would not the racking strain on nerves and physical stamina have him in poor shape for his supreme test in the final round? Much depends upon Johnston's con? dition when he starts the long strug- , gle this afternoon. When I saw Johnston at Longwood, just after he had won the national doubles title with Clarence J. Grif? fin, he told me that he would not go to Southampton because he believed he was just about in his best physical condition then. "I feel," said the champion, "that I can play perfect \ennis, that is, as per? fect as I ever can play it, at any time I am called upon now, so what is the use of going to Southampton and play- ' ing through the week? I can go down j to Forest Hills and fool around there just enough to keep on edge, and I want to see two or three shows in New York." Tnat is a comfortable way for a ! champion about to defend his title, to ! feel, and, having seen Johnston's flaw lesa tennis when he and Griffin won ? the doubles title that day, I could not but completely agree with him. Johnston is certain to make a mighty bid to retain his championship, and he is particularly keen to win again this ? year. In view of his past performances and his indomitable fighting spirit in a match, I am-inclined to regard him j as the most probable choice when we I consider any one man's chances against the field. Williams, I happen to know, is pre? pared to make his supreme effort to j dethrone Johnston this week.

M'GEEHAN AT THE current writing it seems that there will be no strike of baseball playera to bring about a boycott, of Carl Mays. The St. Louis Browns reversed their decision in this regard. Moreover, the?president of the American League finally warned the players not to strike, and has indicated that insubordinate players will be severely dealt with. It would have been much better if the president of the American League .had done this earlier and publicly. He has taken quick and spectacular action on cases of much less importance. While there will bo no strike, the fact that there was talk of a strike, even to the extent of circulation of petitions against Mays, does not speak well for the sportsmanship of the baseball players involved in the plot to persecute a fellow player who was both unfortunate and un? popular. There were two v?ctima in big league baseball's first tragedy. One was Ray Chapman, who was killed. The other is Carl Mays, whose misfortune it was to throw the ball that sent him to his death. Mays needed the sympathy of his fellow players. Such an accident might hup? pen to the most popular of pitchers at any time. But Mays happened to be unpopular with certain players and cer? tain magnates, and the whispering and the conspiring started and grew. Had it been any other pitcher in the league I am quite certain that he would have been cleared by the head of the league the moment the whispering started. By not extending immediately to Mays the sympathy he would have .extended to any other player, it is my opinion that the president of the league lest a chance to shew real bigness. By joining in such a campaign as the one attempted against Mays certain players laid their game open to the charge of lack of sportsmanship. The fans decided, and the fans vindicated Mays. These same fans will pass judgment upon the players who advocated the boycott and upon the official who was tardy when the game's reputation for sportsmanship and even ordinary charity was being threatened by peevish and thought? less players. The Pennant Race ? THHE baseball prophets are beginning to get the ague as the pennant races veer into the month of September. The National League race makes a prophet look like a chameleon from day to day. In the Ameri? can League the Yanks are constantly getting up at the count of "nine' and making it look like hard work for the White Sox.. In the National League the Giants, the Dodgers and the Reds are making their various backers feverish. It must be the closeness of the races that makes the bug go mad anc the players froth at the mouth. There Is truculence In the field, trucu? lence in the stavids and truculence wherever the national pastime is dis cussed. Also there is some reckless betting. Anything may happen nexi month. Some students are willing to concede the American League race t< the Chicago White Sox even at this early stage. The Yanks have showr streaks of cohesion and power and then they slump. But just when the: are being swept out of the arena they get up and play baseball again By consistent playing they still would have a great chance for the Ameri can League pennant, but if they were consistent they wouldn't be th? Yanks. Cleveland made a gallant fight under the leadership of Tri: Speaker, one. of the greatest managers and players of the game, but th? death of Chapman and its effect upon the team have practically put th' Indians out of the race. The traditional hard luck of Cleveland hi harder this year than ev?r before. With the Giants thumping the Reds on their own home lot and th< marvelous Brooklyn Dodgers, or, rather, the Marvelous and Mountainou Wilbert Robinson, battling valiantly, it is all too early for the bugs i> this vicinity to give up hope of seeing part of a world's series. Ne-\ York still has three teams within striking distance of a flag. The Boxing Season 'T'HE new Boxing Commission has announced that it "will use all due de liberation in the matter of initiating the season under the Walke boxing law. Nobody can blame the commission for acting cautiously The members will be blamed if professional boxing falls back into th same old rut. Before the lav- has gone into operation it seems that the promotei are ready to lock horns over the services of certain boxers. The ne' commission will be sitting as a court right at the start, according to th preliminary squawks. Rival promoters are waving contracts and tel< grams in one another's faces and are ready to pass about the lie wit the recklessness of promoters. There will be enough of these cases i make the new commissioners weary of the job in a few days unless th promoters have the good sense to show some consideration for one ai other's rights. I hear that the National Guard of this city is going in for the prt motion of professional boxing bouts as an adjunct to their recruitin service. The holding of bouts in the armories, with free seats for tl members of the regiments occupying them, is advocated as a means ( filling up the ranks, nearly all of the regiments being far below the strength at present. That would make the competition in boxing pr< motion fairly keen. * Easy for Dempsey XJEPORTS from the vicinity of Benton Harbor, Mich., where the Dem sey-Miske bout will be held, are to the effect that Dempsey seems i be in about as good condition as he was when he won the championshi if this is true the bout will be no contest at all. Miske at his best nevi would be a match for Dempsey at his best, and Miske has passed throuf a long period of sickness, which is hardly the best preparation for mee mg ihe hardest hitter in the game. Finding opponents for Dempsey seems to be something of a pro lern. Eventually they will do it._ They found opponents for a long li of hoavyweigh'; ch.umpions that were once invincible, Sullivan, Jeffrie Johnson and Willard. They will find one for Dempsey in time, but th time still seems far off. Ai a matter of fact, Rickard's plan to rematch Willard and Demps' is not so vain and visionary as it might seem. If Willard had not been idiotically self-conf.dent he might have had a chance. I say might. Ev< now he might givr. Dempsey more of an argument than Miske or B Brennan. Professional Foot Racing HPHERE is some talk of professional running races in New York folio ing the Olympic games. Some of the American athletes are bei talked into becoming professionals and some of the foreign athletes a ready to hear the jingle of the American dollar. Madison Square Gj den will be the scene of the professional races, I am told. The Marathon racing bug hit the country some time back, wh some of the best known winners of this event in the Olympic gan turned professional and want out for the money. But there has r been the same interest in the current Olympic games, and it would something of a gamble to try professional foot racing here. Moreov professional foot racing in the past was notorious for its crookedne "As crooked as foot racing" used to be the last word. Still, turning professional is nothing disgraceful, and professioi foot racing, properly promoted, might be kept clean and made interestii this does not indicate that he will be j able to gain his goal, yet Williams is always dangerous, always a possibility, ard I believe that this year's champion? ship will be carried off by one of these four men- Johnston, Tilden, Richards or Williams. Several of the players were at the West Side Tennis Club yesterday, put? ting on the finishing touches to their work and trying out the turf, which is in splendid condition. Harry Parker, treasurer, announced last night that there are about 2,500 reserved seats left, in addition to about 4,000 for the standing room stands. Seats will be on sale daily at the grounds. -? Yachts End Long Cruise Shortly before darkness fell over Little ?eck Bay last evening the yachts that sailed in the annual four day cruise of the Bayside Yacht Club dropped anchors, and after a cruise dinner was served in the clubhouse it went down in the archives of the club as one of the most successful ever held in the history of the o-gani zation. The yachts left Cold Spring Harbor at 10 o'clock yesterday morn? ing and stopped for an hour at Cooper's Bluff, where a ?wini was enjoyed. W. L. Inslee Victorious In Star Class Race -, PORT- WASHINGTON, L. I.. Aug.: 29.?W. L. Inslee won the ninth of a series of ten races for the interclub j championship of Class A in the star class over the course of the Port Wash- j ington Yacht Club in Manhasset Bay ! this afternoon. By winning the race Mr. Inslee assumed the lead in the aeries. The race to-day was started in the face of a light northeast breeze which freshened up somewhat as the race progressed. Mr. Inslee did not have an easy task in winning. F. W. Teves, who has been sailing prominently in the fore among yachts of the star class the last few weeks, forced Mr. Inslee to employ all of his knowledge of the sailing game to cross the- finish line in th??, lead. The Inslee yacht won by a margin of 27 seconds. Swimming Contest The Clason PoinC Baths will hold their annual swimming and diving i contest nex* Saturday, Holland's Star Cyclist Defeated By Art Spencer Moeskops, Conqueror of F. Kramer, Loses in Straight Heats at Newark Track Arthur Spencer, tho best of Amer? ican sprinters, proved too much for Pete Moeskops, the champion of Hol? land, at the Velodrome in Newark yes? terday afternoon. Spencer defeated the big Dutchman in two straight heats of a one-mile match. Moeskops had a fall in warming up before the race started, which might have affected him some, but tHe consensus of opinion among the fans is that Spencer is the faster man. In the first heat Spencer hopped around Moeskops a lap and one half from homo and was never headed. Moeskops had a try going down the backstretch, but could not get around Spencer and finished a length in the rear. The last eighth-mile was rid? den in 12 1-5 seconds. Spencer waited until three-quarters of a lap from the finish in the second before he jumped Moeskops, and led him home by more than a length. The time for the last eighth-mile in this heat was 12 seconds flat. Alfred Grenda won tho fifteen-mile open, which was one of the most gruel? ing races ever ridden at the Newark track. The pace was so hot that such stars as Kramer, Eaton and Mocskops were forced to quit. Oscar Egg fin? ished second, beating Jake Magin. Alex McBeath, Cecil Walker, Lloyd Thomas and Peter Drobach. Tom Bello, of Brooklyn, copped the two-thirds-mile handicap from Eddie Madden, Alfons Verraes and Percy Lawrence. Gus Lang just beat out Ed Byron and Willie Hanley in the miss-, and-out invitation. Mike De Orio, of the Unione Sportiva Italiana, won the half-mile amateur handicap. Clarence -Rinker, a Newark boy, took a nasty spill in a one-mile consolation amateur race, landing on his head. He was rendered unconscious and removed to the Newark City Hospital. Belgian King to Present Olympic Medals To-Day ANTWERP, Aug. 29 -The King will present the medals to the Olympic win? ners to-morrow afternoon. As many of the American winners have already-left Antwerp there will only be a few there to receive the honors, the others get? ting them by proxy. Jackson Meets Delmont Willie Jackson, the cra:k Harlem lightweight, meets Gene Delmont in the feature twelve-round bout at the Armory Athletic Association of Jersey City to-night. The contest will mark the first of Jackson's ring skirmishes in hh new fall campaign which he hopes will land him at the top of the lightweight heap before the season is over. -? U. S. Wins at Football STOCKHOLM, Aug. 29.?The All-St. Louis Association football team to-day defeated the Idrotts Club by a score of 2 to 0. Marre, of the Americans, scored in the first half and Corrigan gained the other point just before the end of the second half. The Americans played a splendid game.
