Record Field to Compete in Women's National Title Tennis Meet!
Mrs. Mallory and California
Star Drawn in Upper Half
Jliss Marian Zinderstein and Miss Eleanor Goss Are
in Lower Brackets and May Meet in Semi-Final
Round ; Miss Tennant Plays Miss Winn To-day
By Fred Hawthorne
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12.?George Woolly, the genial and bustling
British head groundsman at the Philadelphia Cricket Club at St. ?Martin's,
Chestnut Hill, where the thirty-third annual women's national champion?
ship lawn tennis tournament in singles, doubles and mixed doubles and the
girls' national junior championship singles and doubles tourneys are sched?
uled to begin to-morrow morning, slept his last big sleeD before tourna?
ment week to-hiffht.
George, who hns charge of the forty-'?
?tight wonderful courts at St. Martin's,!
has groomed, massaged and marcelled
the turf (with a permanent wavel until j
it is a delight to the eye. and George '
Woolly has a way with the grass so
that it is better toward the end of a
week of play than on the opening day.
I am cot going to give away any se- :
erets, but George has been playing
nurse to these courts for so many
years that each blade of grass will !
stand up and say "Uncle" every time
he shakes ? finger.
Joseph R. Carpenter jr., chairman of
the tournament committee, assisted by
Joseph J. Brown, Joseph W. Wear and.
others, made the draw for the women's
and girls' singles this afternoon at the j
clubhouse, and the list of entries in- '
?ores one of the greatest championship
tournevs ever taken part in bv women, i
?Mrs. Mallory in Upper Half
The record number of seventy-pix
was drawn in the senior event, with |
Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, of the
West Side Tennis Club, three times a]
former holder of the national cham- i
pionship, and Miss Eleanor Tennar.t, of '.
California, one of the most brilliant of
the Pacific Coast stars, drawn in the '
uppe* half of the draw. Miss Tonnant ,
plays Miss Caroma Winn, of New York, j
in the first round, and th-?n, if she
plays to form, should reach out into j
the round before the semi-final, where ;
Mrs. Maliory should block her path.
"Marvellous Molla''- drew a bye in
the opening round and her first match '
will be against Miss Rene E. Christy, j
of the Point Judith Country Club. In
the fourth bracket Mrs. Mallory should
face either Miss Helm Baker, another
of the great California group; Miss
Marguerite Davis, of St. Paul, or Miss
Corinne Gould, of St. Louis, former
national clay court champion.
Other strong contenders in this half
are Miss Helene Pollak, of New York.
former national indoor and middle
?tates title holder: Miss Edith Sigour
?ey, of the Longwood Cricket Club;
Mrs. Ream Leachman, of California;
Miss Phyllis Walsh, of Philadelphia;
Miss Evelyn Seavey, of Kansas City,
and Miss Anne B. Townsend, of
Philadelphia.
Mrs. Mallory's most dangerous rival
for the national title this year should
be Miss Marion Zinderstein, of the
Longwood Cricket Club of Boston, who
is down near the bottom of the lower
half of the draw. "Maid Marion"
ought not to encounter any serious op?
position until she gets into the fourth
round, where she may meet either Mrs.
Benjamin F. Briggs, of the Pelham
Country Club; Miss Clare Cassel, of
New York; or Miss Leslie Bancroft,
of Lom^-wood, or Mrs. M. B. Huff, of
Philadelphia, all of whom are grouped
in this section.
In the upper section of the lower
half is Mrs. Gilbert S. Harvey, of the
Philadelphia Cricket Club. who has
been supreme in Philadelphia circles
for several years, althogh this season,
owing to an injury to her leg, 3he lost
her title of Philadelphia district cham?
pion. Mrs. Harvey, who gained a high
ranking last season, is one of those
sterling players who never concedes
defeat until the final point is finished.
Her ground strokes are of the sound?
est and her court generalship of a high
standard.
Mrs. Harvey's opponent in the first
round will be Mrs. Robert Le Roy, of
the West Side Tennis Club, one of the
most reliable of the New York con?
tingent, and well qualified to extend
Mrs. Harvey to the limit at deep court
driving. Just below these two stars
are Mrs. Edward V. Lynch, Mrs. De
Forest Car.dee and Miss Eleanor Goss,
til of New York.
Miss Goss in Lower Brackets
Miss Goss, No. 2 on the ranking list
last sea?on( should go straight through
to the semi-final bracket, to face Miss
Zinderstein. In the upper half, the
eeml-finalists should be Mrs. Mallory
and either Miss Pollak or Miss Sig
ourney, and so, when it comes to the
final round struggle for the crown
now worn by Mrs. George W. WTight
tun. of Boston, who will not defend
her honor? in the singles, the opposing
player? should be Mrs. Mallory and
either Miss Zinderstein or Miss Goss
?nd I favor Miss Zinderstein as Mrs.
Mallory's opponent in the champion?
ship test.
It is quite within reason to believe
that Miss Tennant, who ha? showr
?teady improvement in every tourna?
ment she has playd in since coming
East, may spring the great sensatior
of the week by vanquishing Mrs. Mal?
lory in the fifth round, but I do not ex
peet this, unless M?3S Tennant should
?trike a rare streak of tennis on that
day
We must not lose sight, either, oj
Mi?? Baker, should ?he face Mr?. Mai
lory in the fourth round. This gir
from the "Golden West," where she ii
?ted as one of the very best, has no
yet had a fair chance to prove he
quality, for this is her first season oi
torf court?, and she has not yet becom<
familiar with the softer surface. In al
the finer point? of the game, particu
Urly on her volleying and overh?a<
?hot?, and in court generalship, Mi?
Baker ranks with the greatest womei
?layer? in the land, but I do not be
liere she has be?*n long enough in th
?ast to show us her best.
Mr?. Wood, Mrs. Candee, Miss Ca?
Ml, Mrs. Lynch and Miss Ballin, o
th? New York contingent, ?re al
?terling players and capable of mak
ing trouble for some of the grea
?Urs, but it is asking a lot to expec
them to fight their way through sucl
* notable field.

IN ALL FAIRNESS1
_
By W. O. M'GEE H AN
CLEVEL.WD, Sept. 12.?The national distrust which is being di?
rected against national politics seems to have been turned on the!
national game. Now we have another "baseball scandal" impend?
ing, so it is whispered. The charge that the Republicans are trying to
buy the Presidency are followed by hints that baseball games are being !
manipulated by the gamblers.
No doubt there are a few crookjs among the professional baseball j
players. There must be, or the professional baseball players would be a
clique of saints. But the business cf playing professional baseball is quite
as honorable as any other business, and the men who follow it are quite as
zealous for the good name of their business as are the men who follow
other lines.
It i:s my belief that the men who promote professional baseball are
anxious to keep the gamblers from getting any hold on it; some of them
because they are naturally that way and others becaire they have the
shrewdness, if not the moral sense, to know that if tf.e taint of crooked
gambling ever infects professional baseball it would mean empty turn?
stiles.
Hard to Fix Baseball Games
rPHEY say that it is difficult to prove that a baseball game has been fixed.
It is harder still to fix a baseball game, because there are nine men
playing, and no matter how many men of that nine might try to fix it or
to throw it there would be some who would know that the attempt
was being made and the news would come out, and come out in the form
of evidence. Also there is no game that is more open, more clearly under?
stood and more vociferously criticized than baseball. The average baseball
fan is harder to fool than the follower of any other sport that might be
corrupt in places*.
If the Chicago scandal should prove that one or two baseball players
have been implicated with-crooked gamblers, that should not result in the
condemnation of the entire baseball profession. If that condition did
exist it is the fault of the municipality that harbors and winks at the
fixers, for the professional gamblers are kept out of the baseball parks.
As I have said before, the actions of the magnates are rosponsible for
the whisperings against professional baseball. They enforce no discipline
en players who are box office attractions. Players who have been nc
credit to the game in the matter of character have been kept until theii
usefulness as players ceased. Then they were whispered out. If tht
magnates would act frankly and impartially these whisperings wotfld nol
be about.
No Ring in Major Leagues
CURELY there must be some poolroom betting in some cities on the bij
league circuits. Here in Cleveland the newspapers announce as th?
news of a game about to be played how the betting stands. The firs
paragraph of the story announcing the first game of the Cleveland an?
Yankee series is that the betting is 10 to 9, with Cleveland favorite.
This sort of stuff might leave the inference that there is big an?
organized betting on baseball games, and when there is big and organize?
betting on any line of sport the gamblers certainly would try to tampe
with it if they thought they might succeed. But there is no ring like th
Maybray gang working on big league baseball. If there was, the gam
would have been wiped out long before this. Baseball depends for it
life on keeping separated from the poolrooms quite as much as racin
depends for its life on organized betting.
Dempsey W'ithout a Peer
T~|EMPSEY, the heavyweight champion, demonstrated quite clearly s
Benton Harbor on Labor Day that there is no man in the world wh
would have a chance?f;vith him under Queensberry rules. It was not b<
cause Miske was more formidable than any of the other contendei
that this stood out. Dempsey might have finished Miske in the first roun
if he had attacked him with the same furious onslaught that he made o
Willard at Toledo more than a year before. But this time he wasted not
move. Every punch hit its mark, and when he decided to put over tl
finishing one he did it v/ith the precision of a trained mark?man shootin
into the buil's-eye.
As a ringman Dempsey of to-day is the greatest of them all, past (
present. His punches have the precision and the swiftness of the strikir
of a gorilla. He has that primitive coordination that makes the formidab
ringsman just as it makes the ape that could "beat Jack Dempsey to tl
punch."
It seems to me that a Dempsey-Gunboat Smith bout would be nothing i
all to see, unless you want to see how easily Dempsey can knock out tl
very ordinary fighter. The Carpentier-Dempsey bout also is superfluou
unless you want to see how easily a fighter who has the ape's instinct f>
this game could dispose of a boxer who has learned with his brain all tl
tricks of the Queensberry trade. For the primitive Queensberry game
one where mind will carry its follower only so far. Instinct will produ
the conqueror in the end.
Eaton Wins Race
In Which Kramer
And Moeskops Fall
NEWARK, N. J., Sept. 12.?Raymond |
Eaton won a three-cornered match race |
from Frank Kramer and Pete Moeskops
after a ?pill during the running of the
second heat had eliminated Moeskops,
the big Hollander, from the race.
Moeskops, by riding in front, won the
first heat, beating Eaton and Kramer j
over the line.
In the second heat Moeskops's front
wheel hit the flat of the track in the
home stretch and he took a nasty spill.
His rear wheel hit Kramer's, breaking
it, but Kramer continued on to the
tape with a broken rim, and was beaten
only by inches. Just a short distance
by the tape Kramer's rear wheel col?
lapsed and he took a tumble, his first
fall of the year. Kramer was shaken
up, but uninjured.
1 Alfred Goullet won the ten-mile open
from Alex McBeath, Percy Lawrence,
Willie Hanley, Cecil Walker and ?Alfred
Grenda. A field of more than thirty
riders started, but with a mile to (?o
only seven were left. On the last lap
Grenda, Willie Spencer ?nd Magin went
down in a spill. Grenda managed to
get sixth place by picking up his bike
and running around to the finish mark.

Rutgers Has Class
To Pick From for
This Year's Eleven
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Sept. 12.?
With the first week of practice over,
Coach George Foster Sanford has had
the first opportunity to get a line on
the material available for this year's
Rutgers College football team, and, de?
spite the loss of several of last year's
stars, he is much pleased with the pros?
pect.
Thirty-five men are working out nt
present, and it is expected to increase
this squad to sixty when college opens.
Last year Rutgers had one of the
strongest second teams in the East,
against which the 'varsity had to
! struggle daily. This was an important
factor in the development of the lat
! ter, but it has importance this year
also sinee it means that the last year
; material is of top-notch quality, and
? the second string men have indicated
by their work this week that they are
ready to take the places of the missing
stars.
One end position, one at guard,
quarterback and fullback are the only
positions to be filled, but ?the early
workouts indicate that there will be
little difficulty in getting suitable men.
Maloney, a former Yale man, has
proven himself a crackerjack field een
eral, and Meistrel, former Erasmus Hall
star, will give him a close run for
quarterback.
Dufft and Slyker, substitute linemen
last year, are showing class in compe?
tition for the empty position at guard
left by the departure of Garrett, and
Marvin Riley, a freshman, is tilling
French'? place at fullback so ably that
the 1919 star may not be missed. T*he
end position is still unsettled, but there
ore numerous candidates for the place.

Nassau Stakes to
Feature To-day's
Card at Belmont
The autumn meeting of the West
chester Racing Association is almost
at an end, but there is promise of much
good sport in the three days before the
scene shifts to Aqueduct. The Nassau,
for three-year-olds and Uiward at a
mile, is the feature of to-day's pro
pram, and it should produce a good
contest. For to-morrow the historic
Champagne Stakes, with $.'5,500 added,
is carded. This is a two-year-old feat?
ure and the first stake test for juve?
niles this season.
In former seasons the Flatbush, at
seven furlongs, was the sequel to the
Futurity, but its place has now been
taken by the older event, which dates
back to 1867. when it was one of the
best races of the fall season at Jerome
Park. A race at seven furlongs is gen?
erally believed to be ample to furnish
a guide to three-year-old form.
The Middle Park Plat? in England is
accordingly regarded as a. forerunner
to the Derby, and many winners of the
former have annexed the "blue riband"
of the British turf the following year.
Many distinguishe?! stayers have won
the Champagne, conspicuous among the
number being Ben Brush. Stalwart, The
Friar, Kilmnrnock and Ramapo. Fillies
have beaten the colts, too, for the
classic, as is evidenced by the nam^s of
Lady Rojebery, Dewdrop, Connemara.
Endurance by Right, Pervers? and
Cleopatra on the roster of winners.
The fillies of this year ars> playing a
prominent part in the two-year-old
classics.
If Step Lightly wore eligible it would
be a great spot for her to demonstrate

Gross Score at Nassau
By Ray McCarthy
An aftermath of the national amateur
! golf championship tournament was a
mixed foursome at modal play handicap
'? yesterday on the links of the Nassau

several of the leading women players
of this section playing with members
of the English contingent and several
American amateur stars. Mrs. Charles
I M. Fox and Gardiner White led the
field home with a score of 8:5?S?75.
As might have been, and was ex
? pected, Bobby Jones and his star club
; mate, Miss Alexa Stirling, had the best
1 low gross score of the day?an S2. But
j the committee had also expected this
; and the young Atlanta pair was started
from scratch, which left them several
1 strokes away from the handicap prize.
But the play of the Georgians was
i by far the best of the day. Miss Ster
? ling was hitting her shots squarely,
? and these, backed up by the excellent
? game of Jones, served to land them a
! good score of 82. Miss Marion Hollins,
i former women's metronolitan cham
; piirn, paired with H. F. Whitney, had a
! low net score of S3, as did Mrs. Fox
?and White and Mr. and Mrs. Quentin
? F Feitner. Mrs. Feitner is the present
I women's metropolitan title holder who
! is being given serious consideration for
| national honors.
Roger Wethered. the English player,
i was paired with Mrs. C. B. Smithers.
1 and went around in 85. A handicap of
six stroke? gave this pair a net score
of 79. Lord Charles Hope, of England,
played around with the Philadelphia
; luminary. Miss Mildred Caverly, their
j score being 85?5?SO, whil" Cyril
! Tolley, British amateur champion,
'?brought up the rear of the list, with
