By the Associated Press ARIS, July 22—The chief battle for Olympic points ended yesterday when the United States by making a clean sweep of five tennis championships, clinched first place in all-around scoring. Four branches of competition, however, remain before the official closing cere- . monie lifting, will be resumed today.

Sixteen events on the Olympic calendar have been completed, the United Stat coming out victorious in eight and piling up a total of 95 points, more than double that of her nearest rival, France, which has 47. France cannot overhaul the United States, even if triumphant in the re- Juaining sports which are to be com- vleted this week. That country jumped to second place by scoring lieavily in tennis, gymnastics, fenc- ing und the modern pentathion. Great Britain now is third, with 35 points, and Finland fourth, with 34 points.

Hunter, who beat the Frenchmen, Henri Cochet and Jacques Brugnon, in a thrilling five-set struggle, and in the mixed doubles by R. Norris Williams, 2d, and Mrs. George Wightman, who easily defeated their compatriots, Vincent Richards and Mrs. Marion % Jessup, in straight sets. In_the tennis competition Americans finished with a total of 5 points, nearly double that ot France, the nearest rival, which had 28 points. Great Britain took third place, with 16 points.

F )JLLOWERS of goli will remember that during the summers the United States was in the World War the national open and national amateur tournaments were not played. However, for the benefit of the Red Cross there were some unofficial tourneys, and amateurs and professionals also joined in matches throughout the country, which not only aided a good cause, but produced some very thrilling contests. One of these matches was a four- at the Minnekahda Country inneapolis, in 1918, in which Zvans and Warren Wood, former Western amateur champion, then of Chicago, but now of York, were opposed 3.ezg of Minneapolis amateur champion piayed best ball and put up a real humdinger of a battle during which 1 delivered the timeliest shot I ever made in an important struggle.

All of us got good drives which left s about 125 yards from the flag. Legs, my partner, was first to play the green, Wood was next, “hick” Evans third, and myself last. Legg had some bad luck, his iron chot going over the green. Wood » produced a beautiful shot, dropping | three fect from the cup. had even worse luck than l.egz, as his ball found the trap in front of the green, but with Wood possessing almost a sure 3, this didn't atter much In fact, Wood's ball was so neatly placed that the prospect for Legg nd me looked dark indeed. Unless ] could do as well as Warren, he and “Chick” would have us 1 up with only one hole to go. This might mean victory and, at least, would make defeat impossible. Did you ever get into such a sit- uation as this in a match you very much wanted to win? To halve Wood it was necessary for me to duplicate ¥ iron shot dead to the pin, or, if 1 couldn’t get close, to sink a long putt. " Dlayed my ball as carefully as I could. The result was one of those strokes that come but seldom in a Jifetime. My 125-yard mashie nib- Jick went straight into the cup, 8iv- ing me an eagle 2, and Legg and me_the hole. We halved the eighteenth hole and Jvans and Wood went down to de- eat. ¥ ertainly that mashie niblick was the timeliest shot 1 ever made. (Cspyright, 1924.) .

CARP IN NEW STUNT; TRAINS AFTER DARK NEW YORK, July 22.—Carpentier sprung a new one at his, training quarters at Great Neck, L. L, last night. He did his training after dark, working out under the light of electric arc lamps. In this way he figures he will become better accus- tomed to the artificial light of the Polo Grounds Thursday night. Looks like a great idea. Fans of the metropolis are criti- cizing the matchmaking of the Polo Grounds show next Thursday night. They say that a much more at- tractive feature than Berlenbach and Ratner in the semi-final could have been secured. Ratner, they say, will be too clever for Berlenbach, while at the same time unable to do any damage to the ex-wrestler. The spectacle of a clever man offsetting the destructive power of a flatfooted knockerout evidently has no appeal for the fans. They want to see two sluggers each one equipped with a wallop capable of stowing away the other. COSMOPOLITAN CLUBMEN ON LINKS AND COURTS Golf and tennis players of the Cosmopolitan Club of this city were to spend today at Columbia Country Club, competing in the sccond series of their midsummer athletic events. Frank Fenwick, chairman of to- day’s affair, expected fully 25 mem- bers to try their hand at golf. A goodly portion of the club’s members also will invade the tennis courts.

The Potomac League nine hopes to reach top form by Sun- day. It is likely that Coyle will toe the mound against the Iasterners. Chris Hutchinson of the Kasterners will assign the hurling duty to Neid- feldt or Raines. Union Printers received an 8-to-6 setback at_the hands of the Frede- ricksburg White Sox. Simon and Ford batted creditably for the Typos, while Sowers played well afield for the Virginians. An interesting match is expected in the Kanawha-Linworth game to be played Thursday at 5 o'clock on dia- mond No. 3 of the Monument grounds. Kanawha players are to report not later than 4:30 o'clock. Challenges to the Kanawhas, who are seeking a match especially for Sunday, are be- ing received by Manager Bennie Mensh at Columbia 3752 between 9 and 4 o'clock. Columbia Athletic Club and the Virginia Gray Juniors were to be matched today at 5 o'clock at the Cardinal Park in one of the Alex- andria Junior League matches. Dev- ers or Corbin of the Columbias and Kennedy of the Virginia Grays are likely to be mound rivals. Mohawk diamond athletes planned to entertain the Arlington nine today at 4:45 o'clock at Union Park in one of the postponed games of the Independent series. Kelly or New- man probably will hurl for the In- dians. A flock of fans are expected to turn out for the twin bill to be staged in Griffith Stadium Saturday for the benefit of the National Cath- olic Community House. Four for- midable teams will figure in the en- tertainment. Knickerbockers and Dominican Lyceum will play in_the opener, starting at 2:30 o'clock. Pet- worth will tackle the Mohawks in the nightcap.

While Capt. E. F. Carter of Chicago led the scoring with a round in 34—35—69, he was closely pressed, no fewer than four being within one stroke of him, and a dozen others within striking distance of medal honors. Scores for the first day showed that Chicagoans, who have had almost a continuous monopoly on the western title during the twenty-four previous tournaments, have plenty of compe- tition this vear James Manion of St. Louis tied at 70 with three Chi- cagoans for second score and Frank Dyer of Memphis shared a 72 with John Dawson and Arthur Sweet of Chicago, there being no score of 71.

Patrick of the losers accounted for three hits in as many times at bat. Western Electric Installation team fell before Peoples Drug Store, 13 to 5, in the Commercial series. With Butler and Garver batting in fine style, the winners smacked a total of sixteen wallops. Playing in impressive form through- out, the Yankees downed the Smith- fields in a 9-to-1 match. Freschl, on the mound for the victors, was mbed for only four blows. He also was effective at bat. The hurling dished out by Ramsey of Naval Hospital proved too much for City Post Office, the former win- ning, 9°to 3, in the Government loop. The winning boxman was nicked for only four clouts. Takoma Athletic Club was to meet a rugged foe in the Standard Oil team today at 5:30 o'clock on the Walter Reed Hospital grounds. Games with the Takomas may be arranged by calling Manager J. A.

PARIS, July 22.—R. Norris Wi liams, captain of last years Ameri- can Davis cup team, whose sports- manship in playing out the Olympic tennis championships with a badly injured aakle has been the subject of widespread favorable comment, likely will pay for his gameness by being kept out of further competi- tion for a month, Willlams last week twisted his right ankle and tore several liga- ments. Nevertheless, he competed in the remainder of his matches, includ- ing the final in the mixed doubles yesterday, which he won with Mrs, Wightman, notwithstanding the in- tense pain from which he suffered. His injury may cost him a chance to make the Davis cup team this season, although he expresses confidence that he will be fit and ready when the final selection or the team is made. Williams, with the other men mem- bers of the victorious American Olympic team, and Mrs. Wightman will leave today for Madrid, where two days of exhibition matches are to be played.

EW YORK, July 22—There are some sore spots due to the Olympics, of which we are likely to hear more or less upon the return of One of these was the failure to send Frank Hussey into the sprints and another was not letting Joie Ray run in his favorite distance. On the whole, Walter Christie, coach of the ficld events, scems to have come out nearest the top. But Louis DeB. Handley, with his women swimmers, deserves all the credit he has—and will—receive.

Mrs, Wightman, paired with Miss Wills in doubles abroad, again has proved herself to be America’s most skillful doubles player.

With the Englishwomen lead- ing, 5—, in the last sct, Mrs. Wight- man’s strategy and knowledge of all the ins and outs of the game of dou- Lles was the factor that pulled the match out of the fire.
