EASTBOURNE, England, June 16. —Ray Casey of San Francisco today defeated J. B. Wheatly, 6-0. 6-1, 6-3, in the first of the international tennis matches being played here between British and American teams. The young Californian's service, once he warmed up to the game, was of startling speed and he frequently aced the former British Davis cup player. Wheatly was not able to contend against Casey's speed, which probably would have enabled the American to annex more games had the contest been on & hard court instead of grass. J. B.

June 16.— Yale won the first of the commence- ment tilts with Harvard yesterday, defeating the Cambridge track team, 793 to 553. Yale won nine first places in the meet and tied for one. Fifteen events in all were run off. Harvard's greatest strength lay in the field events and in the long-dis- tance runs, but Yale's plentiful sec- onds and thirds, combined with the majority of the first places, gave the Blue the meet. Norton won both the 100 and 220 vard dashes, and took second in the broad jump. Watters of Harvard took second in- dividual honors by winning both the half-mile and the mile. Capt. Gage and Paulson led the way in that order in the 440-yard run, and were clocked at 48 8.10 seconds, said to be a new dual meet record. Norton'’s time in winning the 100 vard final heat was 9 8.10 setonds, which equals the record established by Capt. Willlam Schick of Harvard fn_1905. Yale won all the places in the broad jump, and brought the meet to a stir- ring close by taking all places in the finals of the 220-yard dash. |CUP TENNIS TEAMS | NOW IN SEMI-FINALS By the Associated Press.

R MEN’S WATER RECORD By the Associated Press NEW YORK, June 16.—Fortified | with two new records, Gertrude Ederle, 17-yearold wonder mermaid of the Women's Swimming Assocla- tion, will sail tomorrow for England, where she will attempt to swim the English Channel next month. Miss Ederle vesterday shattered the men’s record, made by the late George R. Meehan of Boston in winning a marathon contest in 1914 for the 21- mile route from the Battery to Sandy Hook in New York Ba Her time for the distance was 7 hours 11 min- utes 30 seconds. Endurance and speed stand out in the feat, which is the greatest ac- complished by a girl swimmer. The distance was never before negotiated by a woman. Miss Ederle broke the world record for 150 yards free style Sunday. Before undertaking her long swim vesterday Miss Ederle had a light breakfast of cereal, cantaloupe, toast and coffee.

An ideal landing place is the junc- tion of a sandy beach with a smooth, shelving rock. Above high water mark the surface is apt to be quite level, and the sandy soil makes easy the digging of beanhole and garbage pits. The shelving rock will permit the campers to step into the canoe without tracking in a lot of sand or wetting the feet. Sand beaches as camping_places are much overrated. As bathing places for children they are excel- lent, of course, but that is about the only use that experienced canoe campers have for them. If the tent door opens directly on such a beach, the sand will surely work its way into the blankets, shoes and grub. $and flies, ants and spiders will be moré plentiful than elsewhere. and the water will be roily and hard to dip up in a pail when it is rough.
