It is not so certain that the Walker- Leonard date will not be changed again. As the matter stands now the September date conflicts with the fight night of a couple of New York City clubs. Since the boxing com- missioners want the Walker-Leonard embroglio over and done with influ- ence may be used—has been used, it is said—to cause the minor clubs to readjust their calendar. But this has not been done yet, and until it is no one can be certain that the date of the big welter battle will stand as is. No change of more than a day or two, however, is in any way likely.

F. Simms® private track. but the manner in which the 4-year-old colt went three-quarters of a mile in 1:15 was quickly noised about town. His work strenzthened the belief that it will be a hard task to beat the French in- vader in his first race. It was trainer Leigh's intention to let his charge have an off day, but he was so full of pep when brought out for his morning exercise that the tratner changed his mind and sent the chestnut to the Simms track, ac- companied by the 4-year-old Idle Girl. Haynes, as usual, had the mount on Epinard. The horse was willing to do anything he was asked, and after walking and trotting a couple of miles he broke flat-footed from the 6- furlong pole and, quickly outstrip- ping Idle Girl, stepped the six fur- longs in 1: The Simms course 1s much slower than the regular Sara- toga course, and bystanders wefe greatly impressed with the perform- ance. A well Au- known trainer who was present said: ‘I've got §1,500 bet that Epinard will not win a race of the series. 1 wish I had it off, for that horse is surely a fiyer. He was only loafing this morning. Leigh thinks his hrose can run three furlengs faster than the record, and I'm prepared tor him to do anything now. Epinard's work dissipated the belief that he cannot run to the left and hold the rail position. He was close to the rail all the way. With this fact established, doubt is removed about the fairness of the race being held under the conditions as they prevail in this country. Another element of uncertainty was removed also by a letter from France from an American who has had some of the best horses here in tMe past. In it he told a friend that mud would mean nothing to Epinard, as he was a_ superior horse in heavy footing. This man has seen Epinard in all his races abroad. The feature of the international race between Papyrus and Zev that was greatly appreciated will be re- peated by the Westchester manage- ment on the occasion of the first of the coming series. All members of the Navy and Army will be admitted to Belmont Park free on Monday, September 1. 1t is expected that the courtesy will be taken advantage of by the Federal remount authorities at Washington and by tnose at adjacent Army posts, as well as the contingent at Mitchel Field training gor the polo matches with the British Army team. Maj Belmont and his associates would naturally be glad if the British Army officers put in an appearance, and the same invitatton is extended to them. Army men, as a rule, are keen for racing. They realize its impor- tance to the cause of horse breeding. Some of the most ardent devotees of racing in this country and abroad have belonged to the navy. Admiral Rous, the greatest handicapper the English turf ever has had, is spoken of to this day with reverence by Eng- lishmen interested in racing. Our own Navy has several officers of prominence who make it a point to see every big race run in the East during the season. RUSSO FIGHTS SCHWARTZ. Benny Schwartz of Baltimore and Jimmy Russo ef Grand Rapids, Mich., are matched for 15 rounds, at the Orlole City, Monday night American | SPORTS ROOKLINE, Mass., August 23 B American men’s doubles title, which Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood of appearing against the Kinsey brother: forceful game, which is the specials prospect The national mixed doubles finals, with Mrs. Molla B. Mallory and W. T. Tilden, II, champions for the last two vears, defending against Miss Helen Wills and Vincent Richards, the only outdoor title of any consequence in- volving woman players which the California college girl does not hold, chared interest with the men's event This match marks a continuation of the rivalry between Miss Wills and Mrs. Mallory which to date has re- sulted in Miss Wills winning most of the honors that Mrs. Mallory has held in necent years, including the national women's singles champion- ship, which Miss Wills captured a ond time last wee The Australians were almost gen- erally favored to win the men’s dou- bles event from the Kinseys, becaus they twice in recent weeks had d feated the Kinseys on turf courts in the East. Today's match again had green grass as its setting. The Pa- cific coast brothers have three vic- tories over the Australians to their credit this season on hard courts, and the brothers spent last night map- ping out a plan of attack of which Howard said they were hopeful. Participation in the final of Amer- ica’s doubles championship is no new thing for the Australians. ‘Patter- son won the champlonship teamed with Norman E. Brookes in 1919, and two years ago Patterson and O'Hara Wood were finalists with Tilden and Richards in a match which they lost, only to reverse the result strikingly for an Australian victory over the same American plavers in the Davis cup final a few days later. Today's play in doubles was ex- pected to enter into the decision of the American Davis cup selection committee in connection with the naming of the two plavers who, with Tilden and W. M. Johnston, will com- pose the defending team. The names of the two remaining members of the team will be announced from New York next Tuesday or Wednes- | day. Other Ttiles Are Decided. The veterans national doubles championship title was won by Wal- | ter L. Pate and Sam Hardy of New York. The old champions defeated G. A. Lyon and R. L Dana of Prov! dence, by a score of 6—3, 4—6, 10—8, in the final round. Alfred H. Chapin and Alfred H. Chapin, jr., of Springfield, Mass., won the national father-and-son doubles championship by defeating D. M. Hill nd M. T. Hill of Waban, Mass., at 6—4, 6—2, in the final In a special one-set exhibition | singles match Tilden defeated “Little | Bill” Johnston at s§—: The women's Longwood final, while it saw the Helen Jaoobs, the sturdy vear-old schoolgirl from California, by Eleanor Goss, 6—3, 6—2, served to show that Western star is going singles defeat of little 16- the champions on American courts. It seemed a pity that Miss Jacobs, in her first appearance in the East and on turf courts, should have to encounter Miss Goss, the No. 3 rank- ing woman plaver of the United States, in the final round.

Answered by BOB MacDONALD, Winner of the Metropolitsn Open championship, 1921 and 1923. One of the longest drivers in the game, though using only a 12%-ounce driver. &k ok In putting on a sloping green you must first judge the amount of| slope, consider. the force of gravity, and “borrdw” enough to counteract it. Sometimes this “borrow” will amount to as much as six feet. Do not pick out some particular point to shoot for in judging this allowance for gravity, but always shoot directly at the hole.
