Awaiting Races. "BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EWPORT, R. I, August 30.— Whether or not Sir Thomas Lipton wins the American Cup, there is every reason for the belief that the forthcom- ing series off Newport will mark his last attempt. Even the casual observer in Newport has been struck by the complete change, not only in the competitive attitude of the chal- + lenger and his party, but the so- cial attitude as well. ‘When former Shamrocks were in this country preparing to sall for the ‘America’s Cup, Sir Thomas was the t figure in all that went for- Award. His steam yacht, the Old Erin, was the center of ‘social functions and always the genial baronet was to be found seated upon the after deck sur- rounded by friends, members of the press and casual visitors, 8ir Thomas’ interests were varled; knowing that the American people liked him, he catered to this feeling in divers ways. He had a distinct genius in de- veloping his popularity. He could say and do handsome things and the re- turn in the way of desirable publicity ‘Was enormous. Sir Thomas Yil Man. Sir Thomas now does no entertaining. 'The new Erin—she is new only in name —is & forlorn looking craft when com- to the palatial New York Yacht b steamers anchored off Newport. Money is not being thrown about in any lavish way, even when it comes to the Shamrock herself, The fact-is that Sir Thomas is not & well man. Those who met him abroad last year, his eighty-first year, found him to be the old Lipton; alert, remarkably vigorous. But months of 1llness now lie behind him, He is very weak and those who expect Sir Thomas to attend public . functions, -make speeches and the like in the old man- mer ought to know that these things “are simply beyond him. Memory Declines. His memory has suffered, temporarily is . When important New York ¥Yacht Club members .who have known baronet for 31 years went aboard the Erin to pay their respects, he failed utterly to recall them. He has forgot- tent American yatching writers who have been close to him since he first came here as a challenger in 1899. Reports going around Newport that he has been under the constant care of two physi- clans charged with the duty of keep- ing him going until after the cup races have been sailed are not true. 15 & fact that he needs unceasing care that anything that might tire or him in apy way is withheld from ~ Jt may ':lll}lbe th.th"hz‘ |:'. g( the Bhanirocks carry the Lipton ©ff .

In the first seven rounds he has won six games, lost none and drawn one. He has won from Ahues, champion of Germany, Marshall, cham- pion of the United States; Colle, cham- pion of Belgium; Pleci, champion of Argentina; Weenink of Holland and Soultanbeieffl of Germany. He leads his nearest competitor, Dr. 8. Tarta- kower, by 12 games, with only four games remaining to be played. He has yet to play Thomas, Przepiorka, Nim- | zowitsch and Tartakower. The two last named undoubtedly will give him trou- ble. Nimzowitsch is mentioned as in line for a match for the world cham- ‘plomhln with Dr. Alexhine in case ne- | gotiations with Capablanca fall through. The disappointing feature of this . | tournament is the poor showing made | by Prank J. Marshall of the United States, who has thus far won only one | same, from Nimzowitsch, drawn | and lost four.

MMEDIATELY following the interna- tional tournament at Liege, Belgium, there will be held & similar tourna- ment in connection with the jubilee celebration of the Frankfurt Chess Club of Prankfurt, Germany. Twelve play- ers have been invited to participate. Isaac Kashdan of the United States has been invited, dlso Ahues, Colle, List, Mannheiner, Mieses, Nimzowitsch, O lach, Piro Przeplorka, Saemisch and Thomas. It will be interesting to watch Kashdan’s playing in this tournament and compare it with that of Thomas, who played at the top board for Lon- don in the cable matches. Nomum T.

Fish Eat Out of Hand; But Not From Angler’s HAGERSTOWN, Md, August 30 (®.—Rainbow, brook and brown trout, some of the most elusive quar- ry known to the angler, eat out of the hands of Mary Cushwa. She is caretaker of the trout ponds near Clear Spring, maintained by the State Conservation Department. By the hundreds they follow her as she walks on the edge of the ponds. The older ones, which wouldn't sniff at a bait-hidden hook, actually let her lift them out of the water. The trout, 13,000 of them, got that way from Miss Cushwa's habit of feedi them. She tosses mixtures of beef liver and beef hearts to them, every now and then enticing the bolder ones to nibble from her hand. “I never fished with a hook in my life and I don’t expect to begin now,” she said. NOTRE DAME ELEVENA TO QUIT RAMBLING SOUTH BEND. Ind., August 30.—The fierce cossacks of Notre Dame, who for 25 39.:5 have raided up and down the foot ball world, soon will give up their Nomadic habits and settle down behind their own ramparts of stone and steel, ready to repel all invaders. Notre Dame's new. stadium virtually is completed and will be finished in ample time for the opening of the 1930 season against Southern Methodist on October 4. Notre Dame’s Stadium is a bowl- shaped structure of reinforced conerete faced with red brick and patterned much after Michigan's arena. It will have 56,000 permanent seats with pro- visions for an enlarged capacity should conditions ever demand more. It will be known as Notre Dame Stadium. ‘The playing field in the new stadium already is emerald green and smooth as_glass. The stadium was built at a cost of $750,000 and its foot ball teams must pay the bill for only the sale of boxes for a 10-year perjod was undertaken as an underwriting scheme. The stadium was built solely for foot ball theregare no facilities for tracl sport§ connected with it. In the future Notre Dame will play all opponents on a strictly home-and- home basis with the exception of the Army. The Cadets game will be a permanent New York fixtue and occa- slonally the Raiders will visit Chicago for a big intersectional game. ames and or other Duncan Says Weight Well Back on Feet BY SOL METZGER. One must have balance to put his utmost physical effort into any movement. The golf drive demands such effort. If you get off balance you lose your purchase. You cannot swing with full power or ccntrol the arc the clubhead must take. A golfer should get his weight well back on his feet, a bit more on the heels than balls, as George Dun- can advises. But if he overdoes this and gets his weight too far back, he’s WRIGAT going to be in a most unnatural position when he takes the club up to its final position over the shoul- ders. No power on earth can save him as he swings down. But nature in- stinctively aids us. On such a down- swing the body_intuitively tries to balance itself. In doing so it pulls the clubhead in toward the left hip .m:cgmdum one magnificent slice. Ch up on this point if you are unhappily addicted to this curse.

COMPLETE CAMP PLANS FOR HILLTOP GRIDDERS Manager Chick Paone, Trainer Harry Crowley and Bill McCue, stock clerk, Point Lookout, Contests Lose Natural Char- acteristic and Happenings Hard to Follow. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, August 30.—The efforts of electrical engi- neers to transform night into day for the purpose of staging base ball and foot ball games and track meets may be a practical success, but from an ar- tistic standpoint much is lacking. The light that floods from the huge batteries of incandescents furnishes sufficient illumination for the playing of games, but it lacks the penetrating sharpness of the sun, and much of the de- tail of the contests is lost to the spectators. ‘That pazticularly was true in the British-American track meet staged at Soldier Field here recently. From the top seats in the huge stadium it vir- tually was impossible to follow the flight of the javelin and shot or hammer; the pole vault standards were only a sil- houette against the black background of night and the broad jump lacked the sharp cut features on a daylight per- formance. It was easier to follow the runners, but as they swung around the far side of the track it often times was im- possible to recognize individuals. The night illumination was perfect for the sprints and also the hurdles for those who sat immediately parallel to the track, but from the opposite side of the fleld much again was missing. Few major league base ball players, who have competed in night exhibition games and with whom the writer has ed, think much of the idea. “It's like & circus,” declared one of the NeW York Giant stars, who recently Bridgepors, ""¥ou ‘e everyilimg: e po! “You see e o t still you miss a lot.

But under the lights that part of the game is mi " Bob Meusel of the Cincinnati Reds was quoted as saying fly balls looked like aspirin tablets as they floated through the artificially illuminated sky. Others have found the old game loses many of its natural characteristics when staged under lights. One major leaguer raised an interest~ ing question while discussing the noce turnal game. “What will happen,” he asked, “if a player who does all his work under lights comes into the major goes back to playing under Will it affect his batting or There’s one for the advo- cates of night base ball to answer. In foot ball many of the finer points of the game are lost to the crowd. In a big stadium it would be imj ible to get all the details of line pla; It is hard enough for spectators to get much of the line work on bright afternoons and doubly so at night. The fast handling of the ball behind the line becomes imina sports contests still is and tremendous_improvement made in time. But it is going to be & hard job to completely duplicate the work of the sun and it's unlikely that daytime sports ever can be transferred to a nocturnal setting and retain all of their fine lnim. However, ball men are going right ahead with night games. Goomed 13 onty temperary popuintity, 00] only_temporary ty, But they have been the uff.um of many minor league clubs this season and are boosting the attendance wher- ever tried. So they cannot yet be called a failure. Sam Breadon, president of the St. Louis Cardinals, is an advocate of night base ball, but he is the only major league magnste to favor it strongly, so far. 1t will take another full season to de- termine if night base ball is a But by that time it no longer will be an innovation and the fans either will accept it or discard the idea as a fad. In the meantime the sun shows little signs of worrying about the man-made competition. RIDLEY IS SURPRISE HORSESHOE WINNER Roscoe Ridley defeated James Travers in the final of the Barry Farms play- ground horseshoe tournament. Travers started with a rush, winning the first game, 50 to 43. Travers, rated as the outstanding twirler of the playground, was overconfident and was the victim of the playgrounds’ t upset when he was downed by Ridley in the second game, 50 to 28. Ridley had the favorite on the run and took advantage of the situation by an avalanche of ringers. Mrs. Florence Mathews and Thomas Jackson, playground directors, man- aged an excellent tournament. Jackson feels he has a strong representation in the divisional play-offs. He edicts Travers will redeem himself in the next st of the tourney.
