“BRINGING UP FATHER - - • ENGLAND SATISFIED WITH NET RESULTS OF SEASON'S SPORTS LONDON, Sept. 21).—1The season of international sporting events in Eu rope is drawing to an end, and Brit ain, glancing ba; k at the spring and summer, is rather satlsfli d with her achievements. America didn't win everything. That alone is consider able satisfaction to those who have defended the British against their own critics, who have been crying out that the race had become decadent upon the fields of sport. Perhaps the beginning of the sports season was the craze over non-stop dancing. Britain was the first to con tract that fever. Her human butter flies flitted to fox trot tunes for 15 20, 24 hours without a pause, and then the epidemic caught America. A day and a night was just a good start over there. The marathon dun ccrs kept going several days and i several nights until, finally, one mat; dropped dead with his dancing pumps on. Well, the British thought, let them have the silly old championship; one ought to be moderate about such things. Racing Squared Up In racing the British watched an American horse, Sergeant Murphy, win their Grand National, suprenn among steeple-chases, but the Yan koe jockeys got nowhere in th> Derby, so that was all square. Most joyous of all were the British sue cesses against the invading American golf players. The amateur champion ship remained at home and the open championship was won back from the United States, and both by young players. Wethered, the new amateur champion, and Havers, the open title holder, are in their middle twenties. Although they kept their champion ships, the British lost golf honors to America. The St. Georges Gold Vase was won by Francis Ouimet of Boston in a play-off with Dr. Willing of Portland, Oregon, and—worst ol all—the American amateurs retained the Walker Cup over the sacred fair ways of St. Andrews, after the Brit Ish had all but won it. That after noon, when the fighting Yankees crushed the British after the lattu had seemingly made the cup sure for themselves, is still referred to as “the blackest day in the history of British Golf.” Beaten In Tennis The British expected to be beaten In tennis, and Ihcy were. After watching two Americans, William M Johnston and Francis T. Hunter, fight out the finals at Wimbledon, and see ing Suzanne Lenglen of France for the fifth time beat the best of their women players, they are beginning to think less of orthodoxy and more of slamming the ball with all iheir might. They still believe ortho doxy is pretty, but they have begun to ask themselves whether it is art lit general the prevailing impression ■ Is to remodel the game ovrr hi re | USE SULPHUR TO HEAL YOUR SKIN .

In yachting, dear to the hearts of this sea faring race, native skippers | beat tlie six meter craft brought over | from America to race in the Solent.

The Diamond Si ulls, historic row ing trophy, came, hai k to British hands alter a year in the possession of Walter Hoover, American star. Hoover was eliminated in the first heal of this year’s Henley regatta when lie cracked an oar, and M. K. Morris, of London, succeeded to the title. Fencing Honors Fencing honors also went to Brit ain when an Aeinrican team lost an international match in London and with it the Robert M. Thompson trophy held by the United Statss since 1921. George S. Covey, holder of the v^orli^'s professional court tennis title, repelled the invasion of Walter Kinsellu, of New York. Boxing flourishes hut nothing in the nature of a world-champion is in sight in British rings. Joe Beckett more amusing now than mighty seems unable or unwilling to defend himself even against the magnzini humorists. For the most part the Britisii stick to their dear old leisurely cricket ill the summer and football in the winter, but in every other sport they are ore up and doing this year than at any time since the war. NOME HAD GREAT WEEK WHEN BUFORD CROWD WERE GUESTS OF CITY The week the San Francisco Cham ber Excurslonsist ami the Shriners of San Francisco were at Nome it was one round of entertainment after another, according to the Nome Nugget. The entertainers aboard the Iluford, H. A. Snow and Ilia big game pictures, Brown Brothers and Kennedy and Lament and others gave the people several entertain ments. There were the inevitable banquet and dances. Then Illustri ous Potentate Walter H. Brunt and his Divan from San Francisco made eighteen new Shriners. However, per- ’ haps the most Interesting phases of the week to the tourists were the 1 big gold cleanup at Little Creek and the Eskimo athletic, aquatic and danc ing stunts pulled off for their bene fit. More than sixty gold bricks, val ued at over a quarter of a million dollars, were stacked tip an photo graphs distributed among the mem bers of the California delegation The gold was then placed on the Buford for shipment to San Fran cisco. Referring to the entertainment given by the Eskimos the Nome Nugget says: Among the athletic features were the blanket tossing of the dancers, and the high kick which is particularly a specialty of the native people, in which the. performer makes a short run, jumps and kicks at a bag at a height of about stx feet with both feet then lands on his feet.. The athlPtic sports were followed with music by the Brown Bros. Saxo phone Band, the members of which were dressed in Native costumes, which elicited most enthusiastic ap plause. The band was then photo graphed in movies in company with Ihe natives in full glory of parkas and Eskimo apparel. Mr. Hubbard, the chairman of the San Francisco Chamber of Com merce delegation, was then present ed with a beautifully carred gavel of walrus ivory, presented by Ralph I.omen In behalf of the Nome Cham ber of Commerce. Mr. Snow, thru whose generosity (he wonderful mo tion pictures of the wild animals In the African jungle were exhibited to the citizens, was then presented —— *; ' i.- *■ i.i- « ■ * - - - * , I y--- ■■ 'ywy yir ■ - OH', I DON'T NEED ANT MONEY YeT- SAT -DUCAN- CONE i've cot to cet a crowd for. up to the “studio THAT SCENE WE ARE TAKINC4 AND AN* ISRlNC TOUR ..must hate them <-- v—? pamu-t- < RICHT A WAT - r- ' ■ . ‘ - -J[ oh: i'll^ I ATTEND TO THAT ~ IS GIANT AND YANKEES ARE TO PLAY WORLD SERIES; START OCTOBER 10 with a mug made for the head of & walrus, as a token of the apprecia te nof the natives. A kayak race through the surf to the open sea and return was con tested between two native surfmen, and their skill with the wonderful skin boats in the combing rollers that thundered in from the sea thrill ed the audience. The visitors were then escorted to a hall where the King Island natives put 02 the strange and mystic Wolf Dance which is seldom given to a wiiite au dience. The weird songs, the strik ing costumes, the grinning wolf masks, the rich background of furs, all combined to make a scene which commanded an interested audience, and even the oldest residents were agreeably surprised. The visitors showed their interest and apprecia tion by a liberal contribution of cash for the singers and actors war par ticipated in the dance. rohweOiakes TWO HOMERS IN GAME YESTERDAY SEATTLE, Sept. 29. — Ray Rohwer, Seattle's leftfielder, hom tred twice yesterday making 35 home runs for the season to date, Paul Strand having 41 and Lea Sheehan 36, bafch players with Salt Lake.
