BY JOHN B. FOSTER. June 17.—TLooking at the matter strictly from the an's standpoint, the Yankees today have the American about 43-100 won. That is going well for this time d of June the Yanks should have the task 50 per EW YORK, mathema League pennant By the e N of the year. cent completed. A team that can go out of June with the pennant hali won is likely to pass the Fourth of July some parasangs in advance of its neighbors— and no doubt this has given teeth to the old saw that the team leading on the Fourth of July will be leading on the 4th of October. It hasn't always happened -that way, There is only one team that has gone into the challenging business against the Yanks. That team is the Philadelphia Athletics. Boston and St. Louis have made incidental trades, but neither team is going anywhere and they might as weil trade as anything else.

Jones, clipping four strokes from the record, led the fleld of Southern district qualifiers at Sunningdale, while his fellow Atlantan, _young Watts Gunn, with a sterling 72, tled Walter Hagen for first place honors in the central section at St. Anne's, Other amateurs and professionals of the United States trailed along within a reasonable distance of the leaders. Silas Newton of the Lido Club, New York, with an 81; Roland Mackenzle with & 79 and Emmet French with a 78 were particularly anxious to im- prove their cards foday in order to be among the qualifiers. The other American entrants seemed safe. - W. L. Hope went around Sunningdale in 70 for the old record, once hailed as remarkable, but Jones' new figure was from tees which have been set farther back, and, according to the Sunningdalo cracks, is likely to stand for some time to come. The British players were particularly enthusiastic after Jones had finished his round with a thrilling iron shot to the green and had holed ou? in two putts for a perfect 4, 4443244340 4343434443306 Jones' card included six birdies and he was putting for a 3 on every green. He drove powertully, played his irons brilliantly and putted safely and sure without sinking a single shot which ild be called lucky. Only three times during the round was Jones off The Coening Star BOYS CLUB Conducted by ROBERT C. McCLELLAN = e BY TED DREWES, tional Public Parks Tennis Champlon.

If you try to hide it in practice, you'll be at the mercy of your op- ponent in a match. There is a vast difference hetween match play and practice. In practice strive to correct your faults and strengthen your weaknesses, for prog- ress and improvement are the goals to reach. In matches, of course, points count and you want to win.
