Kumagae an4 Wright Win Doubles Tennis Titl^ at Pinehurst After Five-Set Struggle Mars oi l^ourt Nearly Beaten In Final Match Bidwell, Wheelwright Pass Up Chance; Miss Zin? derstein Doubles Victor By Fred Hawthorne PINEHURST, April lo.?It was only by Btaging a sensational uphill battle when defeat seemed imminent that Beals C. Wright, the old internation alist, and Ichiya Kumagae, of Japan, matched victory from Raymond B. Bid? well and Josiah Wheelwright, of Bos? ton, in the final round of. the men's Xorth and South championship lawn tennis doubles to-day. With the score standing at 2?6, | 1. 9?11 and 3?5 against them, Kumagae and Wright stendied, got working together as a team for the first time in the match and started a v-pectacular light against odds that did not slow down for a moment until the final points had been scored and the <ham')ionship won. The final score of ft? match was 2?G, 6?4, 9?11, 7?5, ,">?- Wright and Kumagae. Miss Marion Zinderstein and Miss Fdith Sigourney. of Boston, won the women's doubles championship by de? feating Mrs. Frank H. Godfrey and Mrs. Benjamin E. Cole, of Boston, by a score of I -6, (5?S, 6?4. This match v as resumed where it left off yester ,;:v, when rain caused a postponement after Mrs. Godfrey and Mrs. Cole had taken the first set. Voshell Keaches the Final Miss Zinderstein and S. Howard Voshell gained their bracket in the f.nal round of the mixed doubles by de? feating Miss Anne B. Townsend and Wallace F. Johnson, of Philadelphia, at 7_5, 6?1. Mrs. Fullerton Weaver and Kumagae defeated Mrs. M. D. Straffin and Paul Westcnhaver at 6?2, 6?4, and Mrs. Mallory and Wright defeated Miss Molly Thayer and J. H. Wheel? wright at 6?1, 8-?6 in the second round, placing the winners in the semi final round. W. J. Croker, the Longwood pro fessional, who is running the tourna? ment, has scheduled the linal round match of the women's singles for li o'clock to-morrow ar.d the men's sin? gles lina! for 2:30 p. m. The mixed doubles final will be the last event played. In tbe women's singles the contend ert will be Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, national champion, and Miss rstein, the playing through Xorth and South title-holder. Kuma? gae ar.d Wallace Johnson will struggle for the men's championship now held by William T. Tilden"2d. Tcrrential downpours all morning forced a postponement of the raatches until almost 3 o'clock in the after? noon. The rain was of tropical inten sity, but within an hour after it ceased the remarkable sand courts were ln !:ne playing condition. "Class" Saves the Day It was only the fact that "class will tell" that cnabled Wright and Kuma f.ac to win the doubles championship. After a display of ragged team play all through the three sets and well into thc fourth, Wright and Kumagae ceased their cl ashes in the court and speeded up their play, with little Kumagae scoring a majority of the Snishing shots as he fairly cannonaded ;he ball through the opposite court. Wright, tho o!d master of court tac lics, lacked the ability to "kill" that his partner possessed, but in its Btead he picked his openings with great skill nnd it was often as a re? sult of his having drawn the opposing ir out of position that Kumagae got opportunities to go out for the ing shot. Bidwell nnd Wheelwright played well enough to win and yet they failed, be . in the last set nnd a half each had his period of wildness and an at? tendant. breaking up of team play. Both Wright and Bidwell were guilty of frecuent poaching on their partner's territory, but when Wright finally de cided to allow Kumagae to protect his own part of the court and thus gave Ichiya the chance to put over the de eisive shots, the tide began to turn. Stars Lack Team Work Kumagae and Wright were uneven in their play. Kumagae missed many simple volleys and ground strokes as bc kept hitting the net tape in the first haif of the match. Toward the end he came strongly, driving and smashing with furious speed. Wright jdid not rossess the finishing shots, but he partly overcame this by beautiful piacing. Miss Zinderstein was the individual star of the women's doubles match, her bnckward croBs-court volleys and her service and overhead play account ing for many points. Mrs. Godfrey ; as next to Miss Zinderstein in ef fectiveness, velleying and driving per MCtly. The piay in the mixed doubles was spirited and in each case it was ihe best team that won. Miss Zinder? stein and Voshell proved too aggres s;ve and resourceful for Miss Town . "end and Johnson, playing the latter on tne defensive most of the time.

Left and Right Handers Tilden and Johnston and most of the other leading tennis players are right-handed wallopers. Neariy all good golfers are right-handed wallopcrs. Also, polo play? ers. Why, then, numerous non-combatants have asked, are Sisler, Speaker, Cobb, Ruth, Collins, Young, etc, left-hand hitters in baseball? There is nothing very complex about this matter, at all. The wonder is that every young ball player doesn't blow himself to the big advantage and start out as a left-handed hittcr. For the left-hander in baseball is at least six feet closer to first base than the right-hander is. Six feet means a good, long running stride. It is the margin by which numerous base hits are made?and the margin ! by which numerous runners are nailed at first. The distance from the plato to first is only ninety feet. So the left | hander at bat has an advantage approximating 7 per cent, which, ap? plied to 154 games, is colossal. Another Help The left-handed hitter carries still another important margin. As he swings on the ball with a whirl from left to right, he is able to throw himself at top speed in the direction of his objective, meaning first base. The impetus of this swing easily means another foot or two. The right-hander, upon the average, swinging from right to left, is tossed off his stride unless he hits along the right field line. So you have here a combined advantage for the southpaw batsman which nets an cight-foot start on his right-handed mate. This eight-foot distance in a ninety-foot sprint is sufficient to leave most of the right-handers far behind. The only wonder, as we suggested above, is that all young ball .players don't seize that big advantage by training themselves as left-hand hitters and thereby take up their station in life six or eight feet closer to the goal each time they come to bat. This doesn't apply to other games where there is no proximity to a given base involved. While no decisions may be rondered under New Jersey boxing regu iations, if two contenders with the speed and hitting power of Dempsey and Carpentier last out twelve rounds we'll undertake to eat one of the posts that guard the ring. Yet, it might be argued, if Bill Brennan could hold out for the great? er part of twelve rounds against Dempsey, why shouldn't Carpentier? "Paddock," writes one of his admirers, "will run 100 yards in 9 2-5 seconds before the summer is over. His one early weakness was slow starting. He has corrected this, and he has the driving power in his legs to break the old 100-yard mark, just as he did the 220-yard record." This has not only been the sportive age of power, with Ruth and Dempsey ; featured, but also the age of speed that knew a Paddock and a Man 'o 1 War. But that 24 feet 11% inch jump of Pat O'Connor's still stands for the lightfoot boys to leap at.

Ross Appoints Two Trainers; Ousts Bedwell Canadian Owner Reported to Have Met Domand s of New York Jockey Club From a Special Correspondent BALTIMORE, April 15.?The com? plete backdown of J. K. L. Ross, tho Canadian racehorse owner, in the fight between the New York Jockey Club and his trainer, Guy Bedwell, is now ex? pected in racing circles here. This step was indicated by the action of Rosb in obtaining licenscs for two additional trainers from tho New York Jockey Club. These ope? for Ross a way out of his immediate difficulties. lt is reported that Bedwell terml nates his servico with tho Ross stable May 1, and that the Ross horses at Pimlico will be handled by one of tho new trainers. Bedwell said to-day the Now York Jockey Club was making him the goat. Continuing, he said: ",Tho New York Jockey Club has thrown down the gauntlet to Commander Ross, but it has never given the slightest hint to me as to the reason for its acts. Never has it made known to me personally what is held against me, "All my acts while in the employ of Commander Ross were done in his in? terest, and, if 1 am to blame, then both he and the Maryland Racing Comrnis? sion are just as responsible. State Senator Norris, counsel for Bedwell, said: "The whole affair is only an attempt on the part of the New York Jockey Club to make Bed? well the goat in the attempt to dic tate to the people of Maryland how our affairs shall be conducted." Back of the report that Ross will drop Bedwell at the behest of the New York Jockey Club is a story of "petti coat politics" This is, in substance, that some prominent women, Avhose families are more or less allied with the Pimlico-New York Jockey Club elc ment, have been visiting Mrs. Ross, at Laurel, and are arguing with her that Bedwell was spoiling the racing game in Maryland by pushing the Shilling license application, and that therefore her husband should dispense with his services. In the retailing of this story the names of several matrons connected with the Green Spring Valley society set are being mentioned. Henry McDaniel Slated As'Neiv Ross Trainer It was said at Belmont Park yester? day, on what appears reliable authority, that Henry McDaniel would succeed H. Guy Bedwell as trainer of the Com? mander J. K. L. Ross string, to bc campaigned this year on the metro? politan tracks, and that he would as sume his new duties about May 1, when Bedwell's, contract is to expire. Henry McDaniel is one of the most prominent trainers of the day and at present is in charge of Robert Gerry's horses. Formerly he trained the thoroughbreds of Willis Sharpe Kil mer, when that gentleman was more prominent on the turf than he is to? day. 'Several years ago, when the great Sun Briar, pride of the Kilmer stable, went wrong a week before the Kcntucky Derby, McDaniel quickly brought Exterminator into winning form. Exterminator, an outsider, car? ried the Kilmer colors to victory in this prized classic of the American tuaf. Paris Sure to Land 1924 Olympie Games PARIS, April 15. ? Gaston Vidal, Under Secretary of State for Physical Education and Sports, told The Asso? ciated Press to-day he felt confident the 1924 Olympie games would be awarded to Paris, as he had been in? formed that Ilolland and Sweden, other bidders for the honor, had aban doned their efforts to this end and would support France's claim. Excelsior to-day publishes a report which it says was received through Robert S. Weaver, of Los Angeles, that that citv also had decided to abandon its claim for the 1924 Olympiad. It is understood that Los Angeles will make a strong bid for the 1928 games, which will be sunported bv France. _-. Mlle. Lengleii Shiits Out Rivals in Two Matches CANNES, France, April 15.?Suzanne Lenglen, champion woman tennis play? er of France, is displaying the most brilliant form ever seen in a tcyinis tournament here, not losing a game in the last four>.sets she ha3 played and only losins two of the last thirty eight games.

Athletes at Harvard Are Better Scholars TJian Team Managers (^AMkRIDUE, Mass, AprU 15.? -* Sports at Harvard University exact more tlmo from team man agers and their aasistants than from the playcrs themselves and have a more serious effect on their scholas tic standtng, a special committee of thc faculty of arts and sciences reported to President Loweil to-day. Its report,. which was made after the most thorough study of athletic conditions ever uhdertaken at Har? vard, said that the players on ath? letic teams had a fairly good aver? age record in scholarship and attendance, but that the team man? agers and candidates for manager ships not only gave to athletics twice as much time as the playcrs, but had a much lower scholarship stand? ard and cut their classes more often. While the average non-athletic npper-class man had thirty unex cused cuts a year and the average player thirty-two, the average man? ager had forty-two. J Wood Violet Takes Bowie Consolation Handicap by a Nose Talent Finds Going Rough as Racing in Maryland Shifts to Havre de Grace Special Dispatch to The Tribune BALTIMORE, April 15.?Barring the victory of Resist in the first rrce, the talent put in anything but a pleasant day at the Bowie track this afternoon, the closing day of the meeting. To morrow the scene shifts to Havre de Grace, where the form bugs expect bet? ter pickings than tbey experienced at Bowie. The feature race this afternoon was the Consolation Handicap, but it brought little consolation to the lads who figure on past pe'rformances. Wood Violet, which had shown lit? tle of late, suddenly came to life and got home a neck in front of the well supported King's Champion. The lat? ter caught the fast-tiring Antilles and beat him a neck for the place. Shoal met with some interference and was knocked back and out of the, running. Resist took the opening heat in ensy fashion from Onico. The latter beat Vansylvia two lengths for the place. The second event was practically a walk-over for Double Van. Babin made every post a winning one, breezing by the judges six lengths in front of Amackassin,'which beat Toadstool three lengths for the place. Tantalus repeated his last good race in the fifth and won well in hand by a length and a half from Penelope. Shil lalngh was third, three lengths back. The final event resulted in one of the most sensational iinishes of the meet? ing, two horses crossing the line so close together that it was not until the numbers were hung that the spectators knew which was which. The judges finally gave the race to Maneuver. The closing race of the meeting went to Sunduria. The old mnre won as she pleased by two lengths from Toreador, which beat Attorney three lengths for the place. -?-. Committee Favors Bill For New Racetrack Tax ALBANY, April 15. ?

Dempsey Is Back in New York, J Nearly Fit for Bout of Careerl Few Pounds Over Fight? ing Weight; Predicts Victory Over Carpentier By W. J. Macbeth Heavyweight Champion Jack Demp? sey, who will defend his title against Georges Carpentier somewhere in New Jersey on July 2, arrived yesterday morning from Seattle to prepare for the titular contest. Dempsey, who has been in the mov les and in vaudeville for the last several months, apDeared in much bet? ter health and spirits than when he left shortly after his bout with Bill Brennan at Madison Square Garden. According to his own talo he now weighs 191 pounds stripped and will have to take off only six or seven pounda before he meets the French man. When he left town the heavyweight champion was smarting under the criti? cism of press and public for his failure to stop Brennan more quickly than he appeared able to do. Dempsey put over the knock-out in the twelfth round after Brennan had shown him up on several occasions. The wise ones had plunged heavily on the prop osition of Brennan i.ot being able to last four rounds. Dempsey was also believed to have carried off with him a striking sample of the cauliilower ear. But if he did so he has had the services of an ex cnptionally clever surgeon, as the sup posedly "busted" lug (the left one) is as trim and sleek as ever. Result Created Interest It was this Brennan fight, by the way, that induced all the present in? terest in the approaching world's heavyweight championship between Carpentier and Dempsey. Previous to his engagement with Leo Flynn's knocker-out, the conqueror of Jess Willard, Fred Fulton and the other ! good big heavies was considered in vincible as well as invulnerable. Ile was supposed to be a Sullivan, Corbett', Fitzsimmons and Ketchel all rolled in? to one, who could batter down any living man in next to no time. After Brennan had given Dempsey such a fight the experts changed their opinions somcwhat and began to figure shifty, hard hitting Frenchman some? thing better than a 100 to 1 shot. "I htfc/e been working pretty hard for some weeks," said Dempsey yester? day afternoon. "Indeed, 1 have done more boxing of late than 1 usually do I in light training. If anything, I think I'm a little too fine to start heavy work, nnd so I intend to loaf a couple of weeks to build up. That will give me some excess to work on without burning myself out. "I plan to work in the open as I worked in Toledo for Wiliard. Loafing a few weeks will give me time to pick the proper training camp. By starting heavy training on May I I will still have a couple of months to get to the proper edge. Two months is more than ample, though I am not under estimating Carpentier. Will Not Take Chances "I have. the dope on the Frenchman. He can hit like a pile driver and he's so fast he is hard to hit; but I think I'll have to hit him only once or twice, I am sure twelve rounds wiil more than suffice for my purpose, which is to knock him out as quickly as possible. There is one fellow with whom I in? tend to take no chances." Dempsey is going to Freddie Welsh's health farm for recreation and rest. He will devote his time to golf and outdoor exercises. At the 9th Coast Artillery Armory, Fourteenth Street and Sixth Avenue, the final elirnination boxing contests for soldiers will be decided to-night. The bouts will be conducted under the direction of Colonel John J. Byrne.
