Miss Boyle Outstanding Per?
former of Sensational
Meet at Brighton Beach
The metropolitan outdoor swimming
. season closed the Brighton Beach Baths
yesterday afternoon, and in the final
I water carnival of the summer six
world's ami two American records went
by the board.
Miss Charlotte Boyle was the out?
standing figure of the meet. She
, showed sensational speed in a 220-yard
handicap swim, in which she concede?!
good allowances to her star team
mates, Miss Gertrude Ederle and Miss
Aileen Riggin. Swimming in beauti
I ful form, she not only won the oven!
as she pleased, but she reached th?
200-yard mark in 12:32 4-5, or exact!?,
four seconds under the world's record;
then sprinted home, completing thi
furlong in 2:47 2-5, thus beating the in
ternational standard for this distanci
by the amazing margin of 5 3-6 sec
onds. Both the former records wer<
held by Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey, thi
Olympian champion. ?
Norman Ross, the. peerless middle
distance wimmer of the Illinois A. C.
of Chicago, shared leading honors witl
Miss Boyle, in a 440-yard invitatibi
race, which he won by nearly on?
length of the 75-foot pool from Ilenr;
Gichel, of the New York A. C, he shat
terud one world's and two Americai
records. On the way to the full dis
lance he passed 300 meters in 3:54 4
. and 400 yards in 4:54 2-5, as agains
the respective national marks o
3:55 2-5 and 4:50 1-5. held by Herber
: Vollmer, of the New York A, C: the
; he crossed the 400-meter post i
.5:14 2-5, clipping two seconds fror
: his own worid's record for the dis
tance.
The three other world's records wer
; created in a 600-yard invitation rela
\ race, in which two teams from the Ne*
York Women's S. A. toed the mark.
The Misses Ethelda Bleibtrey, Chai

I Gertrude Ederle swam the first fou
; centuries, and aggregated for 400 yard
' 4:40, breaking by 5 2-D seconds the ir
tti'national standard claimed recentl
; by girls from the Outrigger Club, c
I Honolulu, and bettering by 23 2-5 set
onds the listed record. Miss Ailee
j Riggin swam the next 100, and brougl
the time for 500 yards to 5:53 4-5; the
Miss Alice Lord, completed the CC
yards in 7:11 1-5. Both the lattc

Leading Teams
Off to Strong;
Football Start
Prim St-itp and Lafayette
| Make Impressive Showing
in Their Opening Games
By Ray McCarthy
Most of the scores of Saturday's
! opening: football games resulted* just
j about as expected. But there were
i four that surprised us.
| Penn State 63, Lebanon Valley 0;
i Lafayette 48. Muhlenberg 0; Pitts
; burgh 28, Geneva 0, and Colgate 7. St.
, Bonaventure 7 were the -results that
J were rather unexpected. Of these, the
! Colgate issue was by far the most
' surprising.
Apparently, the Maroon is not going
anyhere this year. They were coming
! along at the close of last season, but
i it seems they are using the reverse
Play this fall. But those scores of
: Penn State pnd of Lafayette are sig?
nificant. It is true Lebanon Valley
and Muhlenberg are ?not the strongest
teams roaming around, but they always
manage to produce elevens capable of
; giving any of the others strenuous
opposition.
, Apparently it has made little dif?
ference to the doughty Hugo Bezdek
that he lost seven of his star regulars
from last year's team. A week ago
, State did not appear to be the power
it was on 'the gridiron last year, but
: judging from its showing Saturday
I the Pennsylvanians are going to be
right in the swim again this season.
' As for Lafayette, it is our belief
the Eastonians will do some great
tilings on the gridiron this fall. That
line-up is impressive and contains the
names of some line players, who with
: their experience will do better than
ever this fall.
For instance, there i* "Bots'' Brun?
ner. Brunner, a product of Easton
i High, has had one of the best football
educations it is possible to have. He
? matriculated first at Lehigh. There,
j under the tutelage of Tom Keadv, he.
: developed into a hard-running back of
? the A-l kind.
Sutherland is going to make a quar
: terback out of him at Lafayete. That
is where he played him Saturday, at
I least. Brunner isn't the best little
field general or o.uickest thinking player
! in the business, but as a running, pass
,' ing, kicking back he has no superiors.
; Teamed with Lehecka, Gazella and Sea
! shotz and %ith a hefty line in front of
; him it looks like a big year for "Bots"
i and for Lafayette.
Yale Off to Good Start
I Vale got away to a good start, de
? feating little Bates by a score of 28
i to 0. That was a very tidy count and
; sufficient to demonstrate the evident
: superiority" of the Blue over the visit
' ors. It is impossible to tell from the
score just how well Yale played. But
? from all accounts the first showing was
i satisfactory to those in charge. The
: Elis will get a better test next Satur
[ day, when Tom Ready brings his band
of Vermont warriors to New Haven,
, That bunch will not succumb without
| putting up a good fight.
It is also well to hold aloof any crit
, ieisim of Harvard's showing in the
j opening double-header. The Crimson
I didn't hurt anybody in gaining its
?victories, but perhaps it didn't care to
i do so.
j Harvard, like Yale, will have a reai
; game next week when it tackles Holy
! Cross. In fact, jt looks as if the Cam?
bridge coaches were holding out for
I this game. They know the Worcester
j students are going to Cambridge next,
Saturday to knock out a victory, and in
. that event it is just as well to keep
i the hand covered as much as possiDie.
Many are applauding the top-heavy
score Perm made in devouring Deia
; ware, 89 to 0. But scores do not mean
i much against the kind of opposition
; Delaware eencru!!y offers. Penn a
; few years ago bent Delaware and som*1
I of the others in double figures, but
when the big games came failed to
j meet the tests.
Rutgers is another that gives indica
: tions of having a good team. It had
j little difficulty in bowling over Ursinus?
: by 33 to 0, and showed a strong attack
! along with a fine defense. Syracuse.
i which has been a championship con
i tender, will be right up there again
' this year. The material is there for a
. good team, and "Chick" Meehan is the
! boy who can develop it. Just keep an
j off eye on the Orange.
Brown will have to brace_, or else
Rhode Island must have been excep?
tionally strong. The Brunoniaus always
get a hard struggle from this team,
! but generally win by a larger score
! than fi to 0.
Fordham made an impressive show?
ing in trouncing Maine on Ss'urday,
1 and should have a good season. Dart
j mouth and West Virginia also got off
? to a good start, while Washington and !
' Jefferson, playing its first game under j
| "Greasy" Neale, had a hard pull of it \
beating Bethany.
-.
Nautilus Club;.Tenn:'< )ff
Rain prevented the completion of j
play in the semi-final round of the
Nautilus Boat Club's tenn;s tourna- j
ment yesterday, only one match being i
played. Osb'orn and Daniels reached '.
the final round and will meet the win- ?
ncr of the Lanchantin-Donahue and .
Eventon-Watt match in the finals next I
Sunday. George Lanchantin, of the I
former team, has proved the sensation !
of the tournament thus far.

IN ALL FAIRNESS
By W. J. MACBETH
A NEWSPAPER MAN who breaks a confidence seidimi belongs. But
there are times when silence is cowardly.
I. publicly, am going to break a confidence for the first time
of a iong if not honorable career for the only excusable reason possible?the
call of friendship. My friend is Christy Mathewson, the greatest pitcher
that ever faced a batsman, the finest spoilsman that ever graced the
national pastime, the greatest of all sports, a model for honesty, integ?
rity and character.
Next Friday at the Polo Grounds they are going to hold a testimonial
game for Christy Mathewson, that grim and purposeful Old Master of the
j Hill, who at Saranac Lake is just about to hurhihe third strike against
; the "white plague.'" It is a testimonial game, not a benefit. Our Matty
I needs no benefits. He thatched his roof while the weather was fine. But
| still, you know, it taker, ready cash to recuperate at Saranac Lake.
Hope to Raise $30,000
i 1 AM told the promoters of the Mathewson testimonial hope to realize
$,'30,000 on Friday's game for a man who has done more for baseball
' than any other individual, living or dead. New York should blush with
; shame if the homage is so ridiculously low. I hope and ? pray it may
j be $1"0,000, or t-in times that sum. In only such figures can the worth of
j an old master such as he be estimated.
But getting back to that broken confidence, here it is:
You may or may not remember in the dim past of 1908 that the
1 Chicago Cubs beat out the New York Giants in a post-season game for
j the National League pennant. That extra game was made necessary by
j a ruling of the board of directors of the National League sustaining the
J decision of President H. C. Pulliam that a game between these same clubs
! played at the Polo Grounds on September 23 of that year had been a tie.
The game in question was the historic one in which Fred Merkle
! is alleged to have forgotten to touch second base. He was on first, with
: two out and McCormTck on third, when Al. Bridwell hit a long single
: to left center field. ?
McCormick crossed the plate with what every one considered the win
I ning run. The howling mob rushed on to the field. Evers called to Artie
1 Hofman for the ball, which was thrown into the infield. A battle royal
( followed. It was later alleged that Evers received the ball and stood
j on second base, forcing Merkle for the third out and cancelling McCor
1 mick's run.
However that may be, and the truth may never be known, this I
i know. In that whole foul slime of invective and backbiting and giving
the lie that naturally graced the occasion, dear Matty stood out as stanch
i and clear as a lighthouse in a storm. Publicly at least he was silent as a
? lighthouse, too.
I was in Harry Pulliam's St. James Building office the next winter,
! when the late George Dovey and Barney Dreyfus?, dropped in. These
j two were members of the board of directors that substantiated Pulliam's
i ruling. Thevtalk naturally drifted to baseball, and from baseball to the
: greatest baseball epoch of all time. Then spoke Dovey:
"What I tell you is in confidence, but it will be borne out by the
other m-embers present.
"We were up a tree on the whole proposition. There were affi?
davits from both sides galore and each gave the other the direct He.
We didn't know what to do. Aimlessly, while talking, Barney there
(indicating Dreyfuss) happened to look at a paper his fingers were
fumbling. Like n Moses who saw for the first time the promised
land, his face lighted. He said nothing; simply handed the paper
around.
Matty's Affidavit Decides
??r|",IIAT paper," continued Dovey, "decided our vote. Can you guess
what it was? No. Well, it was Matty's affidavit. He swore that
Merkle did not touch second base. That he (Mathewson), who had
been coaching at first at the time, embraced Fred when Bridwell's
hit was delivered and ran shouting for the clubhouse after the Giant
first sacker had run about half way to the midway.
"You may not realize what that affidavit, offered to us vol?
untarily, meant to Mathewson. First of all, it meant a share, and
possibly a winning share, in the world's serios. Had the disputed
game stood as it ended, without technicality, Mathewson would have
led all National League pitchers for the season. Miner Brown beat
him out of the honor in the post-season game. We took all the
other affidavits and threw them in the waste basket. Matty's word
was good enough for us."
Matty that winter was engaged in the business of insurance solicitor,
i a profession of which he made quite as fine a" success as he had of the
pitching art.
"I must go," said Dreyfuss, "for I have an engagement with
Mathewson at ." o'clock. I am going to take out a big policy.''
The owner of the Pirates was better than his word. Mathewson
i told me so.
New York cannot begin to pay the tribute that is Mathewson's due.
j Ho is a hero and a glory to sport in every sense of the word?a man who
\ chucked a soft, well-paying job to do his bit in France.
Let's get together and put some real sunshine of appreciation into
i that big heart. -All together, next Friday: let's go!
"?VO MATTER what the situation may be in other lines of sport, there
can be no argument as to the unassailable positions in the world of
?awn tennis now held by William T. Tilden 2d and Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt
Mallory, respectively national champion of the men's and women's
divisions.
Tilden is also the world's champion among the men, a title which he
won at Wimbledon for the second year in succession ?last June, and he
placed the seal of real greatness on his achievements by scoring his second
successive victory in the national tourney at Philadelphia a few days ago.
Deserving of World Title
li/TRS. MALLORY, although not technically the women's world's cham?
pion, proved herself the greatest woman player in the world to-day
when she defeated Mile. Suzanne L-engien, of France, the title holder, in
the first set of their match in the women's national tournament at Forest I
Hills,-forcing the French girl to default, and then going on to win the'
national title for the fifth time.
Where in the wide realm of sport can you find the equal of these
two great leaders of the game?
'F-HE results of the national amateur golf championship tournament just
ended are sure to boost the game tremendously. For several new j
faces appeared in the running this year and new figures in i sport always :
mean added interest. First, there is the wonderful victory of the hard- ;
hitting Jesse Guiiford, of Boston. Guilford went a long way from home
to earn his laurels and is deserving of the greatest praise for beating
out one of the strongest fields that ever played in this tournament.
Guilford went the full route that such notables as Evans, Ouimet,
Jones. Gardner, Herron and Egan found too difficult to traverse. And in
defeating Gardner in the final round by a score of 7 and G the burly!
Bostonian proved conclusively he is one of the greatest amateur golfers
in the world to-day. Wee Wiliie* Hunter, British champion, is also de?
serving of congratulations for his very fine showing against great odds.
npHE writer disagreed with referee and judges at Madison Square Gar-'
den last Friday night, when the bantamweight championship passed
from Pete Herman to Johnny Buff, American flyweight champion.
Yet it was an#exce!lent thing for the game that such a decision!
was made. Herman evidently did not try his best. He was content to;
stall along in the easiesl imaginable fashion, supremely confident that;
he had the argument won on points. To me it seemed that Herman was J
trying to save Buff up for a Inter match.
And if this is so, I am glad he lost his title. Champicns are sup?
posed to be fighters, not tango artists. Let it be a iesson to others of the j
craft, that people who pay their good money are entitled to action. "De-i
cisi?n" fighting seems the saying grace of the game.

_
The professional golfers of the coun?
try will embark this week on their an
i nual championship tournament at the
i Inwood Country Club, on Long Island.
I Match piny? will start to-morrow and
I will continue the remainder of the
; week. This is a tournament that has
i always been one of the best of the
' year, and this week's play is sure to be
as lively as ever.
Professional poli'ers seldom meet in
| match play except in a best ball maten.
. Generally they compete against each
i other only in medal play in a tourna
? ment. A professional is quite jealous
' of his reputation, and consequently the
'? feeling in this week's matches will run
high. These fellows always perform
! brilliantly in this meeting on that ac
. count.
Jock Hutchison, the present title
holder is in town and awaiting the
: start. Jock has been spending most of
jhis time the past week watching the
, Yankees fight for th? pennant. lie is j
i pulling for the locals to win the flag.
?To-morrow he will start himself to try
; and win or retain the professional
i crown. He is drawn against the :harp
| shooting Pat O'Hara in the first round
? and this match promises to be one of;
! the best of the day.
Long Jim Barnes will meet Clarence
j Hackney, the hard-hitting Atlantic City
club professional in the opening round.
i Hackney eliminated Barnes last year.
I An amateur pro tournament of eigh
; teen holes will be played to-day on the
| course. Barnes will play around with
I Mr. Leonard, his club president; Tom
, Kerrigan and Reginald Narreile, of
' Siwanoy, will pair together, and Jock
' Hutchison will have Dan Healy, of
i Monfdair, as his partner.
