\ Vaa SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, SCHOEL NOT LIKELY T0 BE IN BIG RACE Navy Coach Looks for Upset in Intercollegiate Title Contest Thursday. BY TED VOSBURGH, Associated Press Sports Writer. OUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 23.—Bear stories from the camp of the Washington Huskies met with skepticism today in the quarters of at least one of the eight other colleges training here for the intercol- legiate rowing regatta Thursday. Across the river on the point where the Navy oarsmen are encamped, the veteran Richard A. Glendon, coach of Washington's arch rivals, listened to the report that Lawrence Schoel of the , “HusKies varsity had strained a shoulder muscle in a time trial and was ex- pected to be out of the race. “This is the first time I ever heard of & man hurting his shoulder by pull- ing on an oar,” said Glendon. “Some- thing is always happening in that Washington camp.” ‘The announcement of Schoel’s injury came from Coach Al Ulbrickson in ap- parent good faith and was backed by the information that Schoel would not be in the boat today, his place being filled by shifting Phillips from No. 3 to No. 5, promoting Schmidt from the Junior varsity to the big boat and ele- vating Kaufman to the “Jayvee" line-up. Bear Down cn Training. All of the coaches planned plenty of work for the days remaining before the Tegatta. Wisconsin even took to the river yes- terday and tore off the full four miles in an energetic time trial. As the Badgers chose an hour when the tide was against them the time announced was slow, 23 minutes. Washington made 1t in 20:20 with the tide on Saturday. Mike Murphy of Wjsconsin brought only his varsity crew to Poughkeepsie. * This eight stands out as the lone Mid- - dle Western standard-bearer in a race against the Far West and the East. ‘The crew contains plenty of power, but | 8o far® Murphy has not been able to get the maximum -speed out of his somewhat inexperienced material. Looks for Surprise. ‘To “Old Dick” Glendon this race with its fleet of nine varsity eights is at_least a seven-crew race. ‘Washington, Navy, California and Co- lumbia, the defending champion, are looked upon here as the strongest con- tenders, but “Old Dick” thinks one of the others may pull a big surprise. “Cornell, Syracuse and Massachu- n&:s Tech have got to be figured,” he said. A new starting device, consisting of 8 series of rowboats with a line lead- ing to the bow of each shell to hold the racing craft steady, was to be tried out today at the Columbia Boat House. COPENHAVER BIRD SHOWS SPEED IN NAT'"NAL RACE . Negotiating the distance in the ex- cellent speed of 1,037 yards a minute, H. D. Copenhaver's entry was the first home of the Washington pigeons in the Chattanoogs national race. yesterday. It is thought that Copenhaver's bird won the race, though official, results from all sections have not yet been Teceived. Order of finish of the Washington en- ftries, with the average speed made in yards a minute, follow: @?M v o%%afigm »%or HE RAVES , WHO WASA MEMBER. % CHAMAON BOSTON TeaM OF (914 Metropolitan Newspaper Servien ACK in 1914, when the Boston Braves made their mad dash from last place in the Na- tional League on July 4 to first and a world championship at the end of the season, one of the main reasons for their success was the brilliant work of Hank Gowdy, then & 24-year-old catcher. Stalling’s miracle team wouldn't have been so miraculous if it hadn’t been for Henry M. Gowdy, for the then youthful catcher not only was a tower of strength on defense, but he hit for the remarkable average of .545, which is clouting the old onion in anybody’s world serfes. Pivot Gives Flat Arc to Swing BY SOL METZGER. Bobby Jones has stated that he concentrates on hitting straight througzh the ball, his clubhead going through it on the direction line. says that when he feels he is ting through from inside the line, as we are told to do by most instruc- - he usually hooks. short, Bobby feels that his clubhead meets the ball as illustration. Maybe Connie Mack and his pitchers, Bender, Bush, Plank and Shawkey, hadn't heard of Gowdy before that series, but after the A's, world cham- Eéons of the previous year, had been aten in four straight games, they ’lowed as how they had heard tell of Mr. Gowdy, plenty! Now this same Henry Gowdy, called “Hankus Pankus,” or just “'Old Hank,” is still catching for the Braves, after a sojourn with the Giants and others clubs, and he's . still able to do right well, thank you, at the tender age of 40. His single in a game with the ,Giants not 5o long ago was the only hit off Carl Hubbell in seven per- fectly pitched innings. Gowdy was the first major league player fo en- list in the Infantry during the war. Like old wine, he seems to improve with age. Another veteran catcher, who is not as active as Gowdy but older, is Grover Cleveland Hartley, now acting as coach and catcher with the Cleveland Indians. He has seen many years of service with the clubs of both major leagues. There are few smarter handlers of young pitchers than old Grover, and he sure knows the weaknesses of the various American League batters. Last year he acted as pinch hitter for the Indians, and twice in a week his potent bat proved the undoing of the two league leaders (Yanks, August 13, and A’s, August 17). His single to center that beat the Yanks was the second time in 14 years that he had hit a ball anywhere but to left fleld. On June 11 last it was announced that he would do some more catching, as Luke Sewell had been injured. You can't keep & good man down!

By the Associated Press. IMBLEDON, England, June 23.—The British tennis championships, ; opening today, revolve around two American stars, Big Bill Tilden and Helen Wills Moody. Mrs. Moody dominates the women's singles feld of 96 just as thoroughly as Buzanne Lenglen used to. Tilden's championship ~ performances will be watched with widespread general in- terest as & result of the tall American's spectacular sweep through continental Europe’s Spring tournaments. Mrs. Moody, already a heavy favorite to win the singles title for the fourth straight year, became an overwhelmin choice with the withdrawal of two o her strongest rivals, Mrs. Phoebe Wat- son, .who took five straight games from Queen Helen in the Wightman Cup matches, and Senorita Elia De Alvarez. Both were forced to scratch their en- tries on doctor's orders. -An eypert analysis of the draw forecasts a final round meeting again between Mrs. Moody and Helen Jacobs. Favored in Doubles, Too. Mrs. Moody also is favored to win the women's doubles title with Elizabeth Ryan, although this task may well prove to be much more difficult than Mrs. Moody will face in the singles. In the men’s singles, Tilden is a sec- ond choice only to Henri Cochet of France, who beat Big Bill in the finals of the French hard court champion- ships recently. The United States is heavily represented in the men’s singles with a helping hand for Tilden from George Lott, John Doeg, Wilmer Alli- son, John Van Ryn, Gregory Mangin and Eugene McAuliffe, Three Fast Youngsters. ‘Three youngsters will bolster Amer- ica’s hopes in the women's singles with Sarah and Mianne Palfrey of Boston and Mary Greef of Kansas ready to aid the two Helens from Berkeley, Calif. Two American combinations, Lott- Doeg and Van Ryn-Allison, are seeded at the top in the men’s doubles, and Tilden and his German partner, Cecille Aussem, head the seeded list for the mixed doubles. ‘The opening day's. schedule was de- voted to cutting down the men’s singles field from 128 to 64, * Pairings involving Americans were: Tilden vs. A. A. Fyzee. Allison vs. E. F. Moon, Australia. . Doeg vs. Nigel Sharpe, Great Britain. Van Ryn vs. W. A. H. Duff, Canada. McAuliffe vs. H. K. Lester, Great Britain. CORRECTION Dear Do Jo» 1t "B.

Green, who was McClel- land's partnér in the two-man team event under way at the Manor Club, got himself injured in an automobile accident a couple of days ago and his left arm was in such condition that he could not play*golf. So he and Mc- Clelland went into a huddle to decide what to do about the matter of playing a match on Sunday when it had to be played. McClelland said: “Well, what of it. BSuppose I play their best ball myself, and if I am licked it can't be any worse. But, Winnie, I don’t think T'll get licked.” And yesterday McClelland went out alone and played the best ball of H. K. Beck and W. W. Dean, with such suc- cess that he held them even after con- | ceding them 11 strokes, and they went to the nineteenth. Here at this tor- tuous par 5 hole McClelland got back of a pair of fine shots and put his second on the green. Even though he took three putts for a par 5, he won the hole and the match, and as he| the hill to the club house | innte” Green, his arm held | walked u he met * tight against his side. “What a man,” Green remarked, and McClelland ‘averred that the stuff he had’ put on was all in the day's work, so to speak. L LANDVOIGT Manor got a deal of kidding yesterday when he top- ped his second shot on that treach- erous ninth hole. But Landvoigt is an individual who never gives up while there is a chance to pull off a winning stroke. From the sand in that bunker 150 yards from the green, he hit the ball so well that it came within inches of holing out.

Brownell don't want to hear anything about them, for although Brownell and Harvey put up a best ball of 70 yesterday, they lost to a better ball of 63 registered by Hunter and Diffenbaugh. Harvey shot his best score—a 72, one over par—and Brownell helped him on two holes, and still they lost to the sub-par shooting of the | professional combination, who gave | them two holes each way.
