By JOHN D. FOSTER. NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—The chief trouble with the Washington Ameri- cans just now {s that they seem to reanxic Mest teams get way when they get into the refled atmosphere where the Sena tors now are dwelling, Washing- ton also is being overpowered by the pitching of some of the rival teams, especially those of the west. A ttle more than two weeks ago when tt started the raid that made them famous this year, they were fourth in batting. They improved so rapidly that they be third in another week in bat- ting and were leading the league in fielding. Now they are fifth in their league in batting and that tells the story of why they can not hold their pace. They did not get Scott of Kansas City, who stubbornly retused to re- port unless he got something for it a shortsighted policy on his part because he lost a chance to step into # team that bad a chance to win the pennant. Had he joined Washington” and d the Senators won the pennant Senators came to $5,000 & y virtue of his of the series money. Inability to strengthen the batting power of the Washington team is the weak- r of that club as pennant con tender, Harris may think he can win the championship with a good fielding team, irrespective of batting, but if he does he is focling himself badly. He cannot overthrow teams like New York, Detroit and St. Louis with u weak hitting combination. DETROIT WINS WHILE YANKS MEET DEFEAT So far as ground-gaining ability goes, entries in the American league derby are almost as helpless as merry-go-round horses. Although Detroit increased its chances of overtaking New York by winning while the Yankees were losing, the world champions today still lead by one game.

(United Press).—Watch out for the young- ster this year in the amateur golf championship, whieh will be played next month at Philadelphia. i The competition is going to be stiffer for some of the old timers than ever before, Francis Ouimet Jesse Guilford, “Chick” Evans, and Bob Gardiner are going to find it no cinch to remain in until the closing rounds, as they always were wont to do. Jess Sweetser and Max Marston have taken the cup successively the past two years, with the veterans closely bunched in the final’ brac-| kets. This year there is a considerable crop of youngsters who warrant con sideration, J. B. Crookston, who captained | Penn State's golf team, is one to be reckoned with. Crookston de-| feated Marston, and Fownes, an-| other formidable golfer, in play for] the Pennsylvan'a State champion- ship. James Manion is another. This youth is rated as one of the best match players in the middle west. Recently he beat “Chick” Evans for the western amateur title, Bobby Jones, who must be classed as a veteran, although little more than a youngster, will have his work cut out for him if he survives the early rounds, Play this year will be over the NEW 18-HOLE GOLF COURSE FOR YALE 15 UNDER CONSTRUCTION By WALTER CAMP. (Copyright 1924, Tye Casper Tribune) N YORK, Aug. 9.—Yale and ‘h students, attracted by op- for summer work, have been laboring on the new 18-hole golf course at New Haven which was made possible for Yale through the generosity of the widow of the ay Tompkins, The tract upon which the course is located has some rock ledges and it is here that the Yale and Dart- mouth undergraduates, somo 43 of them, have been working under tho direction of the contractors.

This factor, @,comparatively new one in golf, works out in favor of the newcomers. The youngsters have the strength and stamina. Ouimet and Evans tire more easi- ly. They can play as good golf to- day as when in their golfing prime, but they can't sock 'em as far, with- out extra effort. And in the ama- teur championship, with a measuring around 7,000 yards, the conditions of play requiring a couple of rounds dally for the better part of a week, strength is a mighty im- Portant factor, The kids hit ‘em miles Off the tee, without effort. The veterans make the extra effort, and then are hard put to hold their own. This is not true in every-instance, because Bob- by Jones still has his full strength, nd Jesse Guilford was still sexe gun’’ when the crowding in of a new crop of kids had made his a veteran, ‘ But the modern tendency towards Serving youth, unle: as many servng of youth, unless, as many hope, we get a lighter golf ball, with a correspondingly longer carry, LONDON PROMOTERS ON TANIL FOR SPALLA’ T0 MEET FIGHT WINNER By FAIR PLAY.

NEW Aug. 9.—London promoters are getting on the job with a vengeance, They have cabled Ermino Spalla asking his price for meeting the winner of the Bloom- field-Gibbons battle in London next Saturday. Nick Kline, who is man- aging Spalla, sent word it would cost $35,000 to produce his man in London, When. the Englishmen haye: re- covered their breath, they will cable a reply offering a smaller sum and the chances are Kline will accept it. since Spalla wants to go oyer to Europe soon to arrange some bouts.

By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Bill Tilden is headed this way for the big na- tional tournaments, stopping here and there en route. His playin the west has added to the list of cham- pionships he holds, having triumph- ed in the clay corrt championship at St. Louis and won the Illinols state championship, among other minor letories. ; Reckoning up the various title: he has won, including four national es, four national titles on clay and soon three world’s champion- ships won at Wiubledon, doubles and mixed doubles championships of turf and clay, the count runs gwell over 30 title: ‘There never was a tenn's king so great as Tilden nor one who seemed less likely to be deposed by some Yet it was only in 1919 that Tilden began to flash up on the court firmament. He has all the temperamental vag- aries of the genius. He will meet some opponent and he beaten as he was last year by Manuel Alonso, or will be carried to five gruelling sets by some other player and then in the crucial test these other players will be but toys to him. ' It would appear that Tilden loves to get himself into holes, loves to sense the tense interest of the spec- tators as they lean forward in their seats prepared to watch his down. fall. It is then hé will’ rise to sury prising heights and with ease and aplomb, pull the match out of the fire. Of all the players seen in action this year, Howard Kinsey seems the most likely to give the king a battle for his throne—at least the Cali. fornian will if his match against Johnston at Seabright proves to have been an earnest of future form. It is almost futile to compare per- formances on a relative basis but it does seem as though had Tilden been playing Kinsey instead of Johnston that Bill would have had his work cut out for him.
