UP TO THEM TO MAKE SUCCESSES COMPLETE, EW YORK, July 19—Triumphant over Europe in polo, boxing, N tennis and golf, America looks no longer for worlds to conquer in masculine athletic competition—the nation waits to see whether its woman golf and tennis stars will finish off with victories the most successful season in international sports this country ever knew. To them falls the task of meetiag,of Atlanta, Ga. Next month she will on home sodl the woman tennis queen | sail for-America to take part in open of the world, Suzanne Lenglen of | tournaments. With her will be her France, and the titular leader of |sister, dith, a high ranking British feminine golfers, Miss Cecil Leitch of | golfer, and Doris E. Chambers. They expect to go right down to Miss Stir- ling's home town and show the folks how the conqueror of the American champion looks on the links. Greek Dancer With Racket. The keenest feminine tennis stars of at Britain. Both of these Euro- pean experts have already repulsed a foreign invasion of women ranking highest in American tennis and golf competition. French Girl Offers Task. The dazzling Mile. Lenglen triumph- ed a few weeks ago over Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, long champion in the United States. The previous year she had beaten a conqueror of Mrs. Mallory. And in between these im- portant victories she sandwiched nu- merous conquests that put her at the head of the fleld of woman tennis players. Miss Leitch only a few weeks ago {defeated the woman golf champion of the United States, Miss Alexa Stirling Gr aration for Mlle.

BENTLEY STAR OF INTS Leads League at Bat and on Slab, | and Has Made Most Hits and Home Runs.

Jock has with him here in Washington the coveted English cup he brought back but a few days ago on its first trip to America. The American cup which Ted Ray took away to England !last_fall has been returned and is on exhibition at the Columbia alongside the British “molasses jug.” These twin emblems of super-golf are well within the grasp of Hutchison, for Jock has been shooting wonder golf. His practice rounds have been steady and sure. He has shown no symptom of going stale, despite the fact that he has been winning tournaments steadily since last March. Britons Are Dangerbus. Mitchell has been playing over the Columbia course in practice since Sun- day, and, having become thoroughly familiar ‘with the contour, his game has been growing in confidence. George Duncan, the other English contender for the American title, also as been playing steady golf. and the heart-breaking eleven he made on the fourth hole at Shawnée last week is a thing which apparently he nas cast out of his life forever. A thizd British subjeat entered for the | echampionship is Joe Kirkwood of Aus- tralia, a powerful hitting Antipodean, whose flat drives rival in distance the best that go from the sixteen-ounce bludgeon that Mitchell, already ‘dubbed the Babe Ruth of golf, wields with such a wicked follow through. Kirkwood probably is the most ver- satile golfer in the world. It is said he can play equally well with south- paw clubs as with his regular right- ded outfit. His repertory of trick shots, including driving a ball off the crystal of a_ watch, is said to out- rival any golf wizard of the present day. Against the bold assault of Mitchell, Duncan and Kirkwood, the American professional and amatéur golfers en- tered in the tournament present a solid line of defense. The possibility that Great Britain may retaliate upon America for winning the English open this year is one to be reckoned with, for Mitchell and Duncan are just coming onto their game on the ‘American links, and they have native golfing _ability that sets the storm flags of trouble fluttering wherever they carry their game. Stanch List of Defenders. But the list of American defenders is imposing and reassuring. The re- doubtable “Jock the Hutch” stands in the foremost ranks of the Ameri- can professionals. and back of him are a host of stanch supporters. Walter Hagen, Jim Barnes, Tom | Kerrigan, Leo Deigel, Jock Burke, Emmet French and Mike Brady form a line through which it would seem impossible for an invader to break. Behind all these is the slight, but menacing figure of Freddie McLeod, home professional at Columbia, open champion in 1908, and north and south champion in 1920. Freddie undoubtedly is the least, but by no means the last of the American stonewall brigade. He weighs only 120 pounds at his heaviest and he| can't drive within fifty yards of Babe Ruth Mitchell or Slege Gun Duncan. | When it comes to laying the old| iron up against the pin. however. | Freddie asks nothing from the best | of them, and knowing every curve and slant of the Columbia greens and | fairways, he may spring a surprise. Only about four hundred thousand V\!_a:lshlngtonlans are hoping that he will. | Many to Be Reckoned With. 1 Out of the list of some 200 other American professionals there may ap- pear another dark horse. All things | are possible in golf and in the close Iy fought medal play of an open tour. nament a lucky putting streak may toss an unknown from the whirling much to the very top of the peak. But there are some amateurs, too, t. be reckoned with. Chick Evans an Bobby Jones of Atlanta, if they get| away to a good start, will take a lot | of catching. Thus while forelgn danger lurks near at hand, nothing is wanting in the list of American defenders. They are all here; there aren't any more.
