Throughout the three months of Metropolitan racing over the four tracks about New York mno horse stood out as unbeatable. The numer- ous rich stake events at Saratoga are expected to draw out the most promising contenders in both divi- sions and to place the leadjng horses in the races that will detersine which is_best. _ The great and near-great colts and fillles of the year—Morvich, Lucky Hour, My Play, Kai Sang, Whisk- away, Bunting, Pillory, Snob II, Sere- nader, Oceanic, Pirafe Gold, Letter- man, Startle, Better Luck and Prud- ish, ‘all will be there. campaigning for the three-year-old bonnet. two-year-old field is clustered with horses of lesser stamp.

Not only in athletics, bu of men for the battlefront, they parti more strenuous duties in industry. The result was that running, jump- ing and weight throwing became part of the feminine calendar, in addition to riding, swimming, tennis and golf. When international games were sug- gested to compare the athletic prog- ress made by women of various na- tions, an invitation was sent to the United States. / Take Up the Challenge. Girls' colleges and boarding schools took up the challenge. Instead of standing on the side lines, cheering their brothers and sweethearts, thou- sands of girls spent the spring in training and preparing themselves, not always under expert tutelage, but sufficiently well to break half a dozen world records when they went into competition. The field was narrowed to inter- school and interclass meets, then by numerous sectional elimination con- tests, and finally, two national meets were held, one in the east, the other in the far west. From the winners of these thirteen girls were picked Making welght when a feather- weight was the cause of the hard- est battle in which I have ever en- gaged. And it was against & lad trouble at all in outboxing in the gymnasium. ebruary of I was doing some light work in my dad’s gym. which we had rig- ged up in our carpet shop. A telephone message invited me over to Harry Sully’s Co- lumbus_gym, so I hiked there, and after playing a game of hand ball 1 was introduced to Jack Ryan, who, by the way, handled Jimmy Dunn, my present manager, when the latter ‘was in the ring. Jack had a youngster, Joe Dailey, with whom I was to box. We squared away and I had no trou- ble with him. The next day we put on the gloves again and once more T gave Dailey a boxing les- mom About a week after that Ryan sug- gested a match between Dailey and myself. Dad agreed to the bout at 128 pounds at 2 o'clock, and forfeits of $300 were posted for weight. 1 thought it would be easy to come in under that avoirdupols, but for some reason or other it worried me. On the day of the bout I weighed in at 128%, but worried more about the poundage than the contest it- melf. The bout wasx held at the Chamber of Commerce Hall, at Columbus, February 17, 1917. At _the bell T rushed after Dailey, caught him on the chin with a right swing and he went down. He took nine. I tried to get under way again, but there was something wrong. I don't know what it was, but my arms were hanging heavily. And Dailey began pummeling me for fair. Dailey hit me with every concelv- ble punch. The crowd was up on ts feet, roaring for a knockout. Dad advised, “Go in and finish him! What's BRYAN DOWNEY. the matter with you?’ I tried to unch §s I have never tried In my ife, but it was no use. I was on the receiving end, and what a lam- basting I got! Round after round Dailey wal- loped me good, hard and aplenty. I was a regular punching bag. However, I managed to connect with another swing which turned the tide of battle, again the fans raved for n knockout. Again 1 was unable to follow him up, and he peppered me with punches from every and any angle. I thought every man In the house on a boxing glove taking = mock at me. I regained a little of my strength along about the eleventh round, and was able to score with some punches. We swapped blow for blow. Inthe twelfth, though, Dalley again got the upper hand, and he smashed me from pillar to post and rope to rope. It was a good thing for me that the match was scheduled only for twelve rounds, and, even though I was handed a pretty mifty lick- ing, the bout went down into the record books as a mno-decision affatr, —_— ROBSON K. 0.’S‘KROHN.

Griffith, new commissioner of ath- letics of the Western Conference, will assume his new duties at once and open headquarters in Chicago. LITTLE LESSONS The midiron is a mighty useful club and should be umsed for all shots within what s ealled & mid- iron distance. This varies with different players—to most it means from 170 to 190 yards. In this connection I quate a fact that should be imprissed upon every golfer. It is only through prae- tice that one learns the carrying power of each club, and, when once learned, consistent use should be made of the knowledge. Many a shot has been spotled by who stood hesitating beside his* ball. I make a practice of sising up the position of my ball while walking up-te it, and before I reach it I an fdea which club I am going to use. G Above is Chick Evans’ stance for driver, brassie and midiron. He uses the square for full shote. Chick has rtemed his full-skot awing. The short swing, he holds, gives greater acourncy.

They will compete in the international track and field games in Pershing stadium, Paris, t in feminism, will their sailing set a cipated in games to fit them for their to go to Europe. The judges are posi- tive that the thirteen are the best in the nation. Much trouble was 'experienced in stimulating sufficient public enthu- siasm to get the money to send the team abroad, with .the result that nearly all the girls are paying their own expenses. One had to borrow the funds with the promise of repayment when she leaves school. - Definite assignment of the girl ath- letes has not yet been made by Dr. Harry Stewart of New Haven, Conn., the coach, physician and individual, who, more than any other, s respon- sible for this long step in feminism. Assignments will not be made until near the close' of training in Paris. With the team, in addition to Dr. Stewart and Susanne Becker of Oaks- mere School, Mamaroneck, N. Y., will be Mrs. Stewart and Joseph d’Angola of Newark, a member of the Ameri- can delegation of the international committee, who also will be accom- panied by his wife. The mothers®of two of the girls will go along as chaperones. None of the athletes has passed the bob-hair age, though the tresses of all haven't been shorn, and the young- est, Nancy Vorhees, New York, of Ethel Walker School, is only fifteen, but quite a high jumper. They are not all boarding school misses, | though most are. On the team are: Katheryn Ager. Chicago; Janet Snow, Rye, N. Y.; Ester Greene, Canal Zone; Lucile Godbold, Estill, S. C.

FUROPEAN RING TITLE MAY CAUSE A DISPUTE BY FAIR PLAY. When Eugene Criqul arrives in this ountry looking for a battle for the Yeatherwelght champlonship of the world, giving it as his right because he holds the European title, he is likely to be chaled about by a wild- eyed young Priton, who claims he is the champ. We refer to Billy Mat- thews. The situation is apt to be funny, with Criqui chasing Kilbane and Matthews chasing Criqui. It looks as though the Englishman had more right to the title than has the Frenchman, who bases his claims to the crown of his class on the de- feat of Arthur Wyns, the former occupant of the throne. The trouble is, however, that Matthews beat Criqui-to Wyns, and defeated the Belgian some time before the French boy turned the trick. So why isn't Biily Matthews, and not Gene Criqui, the real champion feather of Europe? Matthews tried hard to settle the matter in Europe and Criqui was willing if some promoter would meet his terms. But England and France have taken a summer vacation from fighting, and there was not a pro- moter who dared offer anything worth while In the shape of a purse, fearful that the number of specta- tors would not make the venture worth while. So Matthews says he will follow Criqui to this country. If he does there will be little difficulty in_ getting the two foreignors to- gether, provided they are not too exorbitant in their demands. Matthews has almost exactly the same style of fighting as Pal Moore. This being so, it is not dpllars to doughnuts that Criqul would be stuck on meetng the lad. Our | The | landmark.
