MATTY FEELING FINE. BUT TAKING IT EASY By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 6—Christy Mathewson, pitching idol of years ago, whose battle for health appeared won when last Spring he worked too hard as president of the Boston Braves, is “feeling fine'” again. Though his physicians said he might not be able to leave his home at Sara- nac Lake, N. Y., in the Adirondacks, for several months, they are gratified at the progress he is making. Christy is kept on a careful diet. He looks ruddy and healthy, but can- not overtax his strength. Base ball is still part of his life. He watches the major league races closely, paying special attention to his own club and the pennant struggle of the Glants, with whom he won his greatest fame. The lively ball ought not handicap pitchers, he says. By proper applica tion they have as good a chance to 'SPORTS.

In this respec there was no _perceptible change ingwriter's o Difficuit to Beat. It was this steadiness which stood combined with her brilliance, makes her an exceedingly formidable player, and it is hard to see how any woman in this country e golng to stop Miss Collett from again winning the national title, pro ded she maintains her present through September. Glenna. too, has seemed to ac more poise—and goodness know had plenty before. Perhaps her mwatch with Joyce Wethered, who is said always to have the expression of a sphinx in a match, gave Miss a tp. She played the Shenecossett tournament quite unmindful of what her opponents were doing. and she had two very hard contests Just how well Miss Collett is play- ing may be judged from the fact she was under 80 in every round but one. In one match she was even par for 10 holes. This contest, in the second round, ended on the eleventh hole. And Shenecossett is a real test of golf, a lay-out of some 6,200 yards, which calls for real shot-making abil- ity in order to score well. Located as it is directly on Long Island Sound, there is always a wind present. Miss Collett was quite un- ruffled by any such hazard, and while Mrs. Hurd, the national champion, and several other topnotchers were strug- gling to break 90, the Providence girl was shooting without any apparent difficulty. This consistency. Has Real Rivals. That Miss Collett will have her work cut out for her next September in the national championship, how- ever, was evidenced by the play of two of her opponents, as well as by several other competitors. In. the semi-final round the hard-hitting Glenna found an opponent worthy of her steel in Helen Payson of Portland, Me., a girl who has been playing golf only three vears. Miss Payson made her debut in com- petition in Florida last Winter, com- peting in the Belleair and the St. Au- gustine tournaments. At Shenecossett she took Glenna to the last hole.
