VETERAN GOLFERS | FAIL T0 QUALIFY James Braid, Five Times Winner, Seems to Lose Egesight on Links Chicago, June 21.—(By Associated Préss)—Iallure of James Brald, five times winner of the event to qualify in the British open golf champion- ship at Sandwich largely through taiflure to hole responsible putts, brought forth discussion by an expert on the failures of veteran golfers. Weak In Shots According to this authority the ma- ture golfer shows his first signs of weakness on the greens and not in the power of his drive or the éxact- ness of his iron shots, presumably in- dicating that the focus of the oyes changes unevenly as the years roll by. H. Chandler Egan, of Oregon, who won the national amateur title twice, returned to national tournaments last year after a few years of retirement, and failed to qualify at St. Louis, lurgely through his crratic work with the putter., His drives were mostly long and straight and he approached with considerable acumen, but the eye for the hole when he came to putt was not 5o exact as it used to be. Poor Eyesight While neither I2gan nor Braid is an old maid and they may yet win titles, according to the expert they seem to be in a period of uneven eyesight that flukes in judging the fine lihe of a short shot to the 4 1-4 inch cup. Won First In 1900 Braid first won the British open title in 1901 with a score of 300. He failed to repeat during the next three years. Alex Hard, Harry Vardon and Jack White winning with scores of 807, 300 and 296. Braid came back in 1905 and won with 318 and repeat- ed in 1906 in 300, Fourth In 1908 After lapsing in 1907 when Arnaud Massy of France captured the title for the first time it ever left England, Braid won hig fourth crown in 1908 with a record score of 291, the best figures ever returned in the event and kettered in an international open championship only once by Chick Evans who set a record of 286 in 1916, two strokes hetter than the run- ner-up, Jock Hutchison, who is now defending his title as British open champion. Stopped In 1910 J. H. Taylor took the crown from Braid the next year with 295, but the | brilliant Braid regained his laurels !ni 1610 with 299. He has never won since, but this is the first time he has failed to qualify. | T0 USE EIGHT CARBURETORS | Jimmy Murphy, Auto Racer, Plans to | Make Innovation for Racing Cars by Adding Four More.

Cleveland, June 21.—Angered be- cause of his suspension by President B. B, Johnson of the,American league ‘‘Babe’” Ruth, baseball's most famous batsman, threatened Umpire Bill Di- neen, and only prompt interference by members of the Cleveland Indians averted a clash between thé two prior to yesterday's game between New York and Cleveland. Ruth's suspension followed his ex- pulsion from Monday's game by Um- pire Dineen because of abusive lan- guagé used to the arbiter. The cham- pion batsman v' informed of Presi- dent Johnsen's Wuling yesterday. After participating in practice with his team, Ruth encouritered Dineen at the Cleveland dugout while on Ris way to the clubhouse. “1f you ever put me out of a game again I'll fix you so you will never umpire again, even if they put me out of baseball for life,”” Ruth is al- leged to have said. An argument then ensued in which Ruth told Dineen ‘you're yellow."” “No one ever accused me of being yellow,"” Dineen retorted. Further words passed between the two during which Ruth is alleged to have called Dineen a vile name and to have invited Dineen to accompany him bencath the grandstand, at the same time doubling up his fists, and walking toward the umpire. Dinéen thereupon threw down his mask and prepared for action, but before any blows were struck Man- ager Speaker, Steve O'Neill and “Stuf- y" Mclnnis intervened and persuad- d Ruth to go to the clubhouse. MATTY 10 PITCH “Big Six” Will Toss One Ball Over Plate Opening Game at Saranac Lake on June 28. Saranac Lake, N. Y., June 21.— Christy Matthewson, famous baseball star, will again appear in the pitch- er's box. Not for an entire game, but long enough to put just one over the plate as an opener of the focal base- ball season when Saranac Lake clashes with Plattsburg here on June 28. Announcement was made today that the permission of Dr. F, C. Packard, Matthewson's physician, has been obtained. Dr. Packard believes that the event will net harm Mat thewson at all in his present condi- tion. Matthewson is now far on the road to recovery, almost beyend danger of any possible sethack. He is far be- yond his normal weight. He is al- lowed twenty minutes’ exercise twice a day, which among the heaith seek- ers here is considered cenclusive evi- dence that the worst part of the bat- tle is over.

IT'S LEAKING SOME-) THING FIERCE TWO RING CHAMPY LOSE THEIR TITLES N. Y. State Athletic Commission Expects Others to Follow Action New York, June 21-—Two cham- plons of the ring—Jimmy Kilbane and Johnny Wilson respectively feath- erweight and middleweight title held- ers—stood deprived of tHeir titular rights today, so far as thé jurisdiction of the New York State Athletie com- misston is concerned, for failure to accept the defls of challengérs, Ignores Challengers. Kilbane's championship claims re declared forfeited by the commission for ignoring Johnny Dundee's chal- lenge. In Wilson's case although ac- tian was withheld to give him the full benefit 6f the time limit, his title was considered automatically fer- feited today for failure to agree be- fore midnight last night to terms for a match with Harry Gréb, light heavy- weight king. ; Action Precedent. The commission's action establish- ing a precedent in ring history was the result of notiece servéd on Kilbane and Wilson several weeks ago that failure to comply with the commis- tion's demands by June 20 weuld meéan the forfeiture of their titles, so far as New York state is concérned. The commission it was indicated by Chairman William.-Muldoon expects endorsement of its ruling by boxiag commissions in other states and also in Canada. Expects Co-operation. “‘While the commission has no bind- ing agreement with any other box- ting body" Mr. Muldoon declared ‘‘we have sustained their rulings and they have reciprocated. For example, when the New York State commis- sion suspended Wilson for breaking the Greb contract our ruling was re- spected by Massachusetts, Conneeticut, Louisiana, New Jersey, Canada and the cities of Philadelphia and 8t. Louis. My belief that these same states and cities will recognize our action is based on my convictien that we are doing what is right, and that this fact will appeal to other box- ing authorities.” Dundee and Frush The commission’s official anneunce. ment that Dundee and Danny Frush of Cleveland would be considered as the leading contenders for Kilbané's featherweight title was followed last night by the announcement in Cleve- land by Frush’s manager that he had signed for a 15 round decision conest with Dundee at Ebbets field, Brooklyn, August 17, Rosenberg and Greb, Dave Rosenberg of Brooklyn and Greb will be considered by the cem- mission as the leading contenders for Wilson's title. It was declared ne- sotiations were under way toé bring them together for a title match. HOLY CROSS WINS Carroll Twirls Masterly Ball Agaimat Vermont—Score is 1-0.
