Thig estimate is based on the large number of en- tries already received by Mr. Mat- thews. The grand American handicap {s the most widely known event on the week's program. There are eleven amateur cham- plonships to be competed for during the tournament. These include jthe doubles championship, featured the second day, the junior champlonship and the zone five-man team cham- plonship scheduled for the third day; the five-class championships on the fourth day, and -the all-round cham- plonship, which is competed on the 1,000. targets which make up the week’s program.

The grand American handicap has never been’ won from the 23-yard mark, but Jack Frink, of Worthing- ton, Minn., won it last year from the 22-yard mark. In front of him were some clever. marksmen and when all had completed the 100 targets Frink and four others were tied with the score of 96, Only two other men— H. O. Heikes and Woolfolk Hender- son—were successful in winning the handijcap from the same yard mark. The former won in 1900 with a score of 91 and the latter broke 98 in 1914. “Former Grand American winners are: Year 1900 1901 1902 1908 1904 1905 1805 1907 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1915 1916 1917 1918 1919 1920 1921 .. .

Harvey Dixon | Hootman | Came the day of the Hout, Feb. 7, 1849, Pursued by militia, steam- ers and Baltimore police,, the particl- pants, their managers, their seconds and 200 spectators reach a lonely headland on the Maryland shore. “Rock Point,” they call it now. Snow is swept from the ground. Sullivan is in his corner. He's warm- ing his feet on hot bricks. His col- ors_are green and white, Hyer's, the Stars and Stripes, are tled to the cen- ter stake. The gong rings. The men shake hands. Telegraph instruments begin to click. From Maine to the Guilf of Mexico, thousands are waiting to catch the ringside reports from the limited wires. For 16 gruelling rounds they bat- tered one another all around the lit- tle squared circle. ' But nearly every frame is Hyer's. Time and again the Yankee is knocked down. Always, though, he manages to stagger to his feet. But in the last, Hyer rains a suc- cession of burning rights and lefts to the Yankee's unprotected face. Sul- livan, unable to return a solitary blow, swings blindly around the ring. Hyer drivasshim to the ropes and falls on him. The chief is lifted up. The Yankee is completely exhausted and topples backward to the ropes again. The first championship fight is over. Suliivan’s friends haul him away in a cart. Hyer beats his seconds across the ring and tears the green and white fogle from the “Yankee's" stake. . The man whom no American ‘could lick had been defeated. And an American had done it. Tomy Hyer was feted for weeks. For a time, he was a national hero. Assassins tried different times to take his life. Invarfably he disarmed them. The various resorts he kept in New York city were stages for pugilistic melees, Hyer later fookgup his residence in ‘Washington. / He was intimately ac- quainted h Secretary Seward and even President Lincoln. . oe o At the outbreak of the Civil War Hyer enlisted in the Union army. Con- tracting rheumatism, he returned to New Yorl a hopeless cripple. A monster benefit was given him in Stuyvesant Hall. Thousands gathered to cheer the old champion. Tom, supported by friends, hobbled to the footlights. Leaning on crutch and cane, he stood for 10 minutes, amid roof-splitting applause. \ A week later—June 26, 1864—word came that he was dead, He was only 45 when he fought his last fight— the battle against the unseen foe— Death. That was the only one he ever lost. " . In a secluded spot in Greenwood cemetery in Brooklyn Tom Hyer, first American heavywelght champion, sleeps today. He died undefeated—the only boxer in the mauling class ever to hold that distinction. Ll R{m.i This Week National League, BEMT WT F 8T 8 12 Tz 0 Ne§ York i’it!s.

Cord 10 SUNDAY FLIKTING “Beauty Parading” Thing of the Past in Argentine Buenos Aires, Aug.—10.—'"Beauty parading” and idle street flirtations, heritage of the Spanish colonial days, are becoming extinct pastimes in Ar- gentiia. The devotion given by Ar- gentine youth to out-door sports in the last decade, first by the young men and now in growing measure by the young women, is held accountable for the change. Twenty-five years ago, the young men of Buenos Aires, stiffly attired in black, with high poke collars and Fren patent leather shoes, devoted their”Moliday and Sunday afternoons to strolling along the avenues or loitering on street corners with an eye out, mainly, for pretty girls. The girls, decked out with the knowledge that they were to be admired, devoted the same afternoons to “coche’’ rid- ing, forming a ‘“beauty parade” as the vehicles drew them along the avenues past the groups of young men with whom they might exchange smiles and flirtatious glances, This was about all the outdoor exercise Argentine young folk took in those days, say the older generation. Today in Buenos Aires there is hardly a vacant lot on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday afternoon that is not the scene of a foothall game. Tennis matches are in progress on hundreds of courts, golf balls soar over the fairways of eight different courses, swift racing sculls leave the waters of the river Lujan, propelled by sunburmed arms, on running tracks young men #in spiked shoes seek to make records in the hundred meter dash, the hurdles and like events, swimming, basketball and boxing have numerbus devotees, while young men of wealth ihdulge in polo and crack yacht races on the river Plate. The formal Sunday afternoon black of a generation ago has been suc- ceeded by light tweeds, homespuns, flannels and sport clothes. The young men have less time to flirt. ‘While the young women have not entirely abandoned the old Spanish custom of “beauty parading,” for a semblance of it can still be seen along the Calle Florida at the noen hour on week days, they, teo, as if discouraged by the dearth of ad- mirers on holidays, have taken to out- door sports in increasing numbers. Infected first by golf, tennis and swimming, they have.begun to indulge 1 L T P S Sy These garters are made of 114 inch peppy, long stretch elastic.

The idea is said to be that of giving the youths of the province some ideas about play and physical self-development.

In addition, & phy-, sical culture director has been seut to the United States to learn about the game as it is played, and booklets of rules and descriptions about it have - been printed in Spanish. et Yucatan, from the beginnlng of Mexican troubles, has evinced oon- stant symptoms of radical political activity. 4 | @#fi@fi@%#fii-Iéifi@@@@@@@@@@#@@@@##@#%fi”m.
