BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK OUR BUG COLLECTION, NO. 1—THE SPEED BUG Coprnans tet 17 mie Tanoven TRAFFIC 1N 40 MINUTES + += © The Trained Athlete Has Best Chance of Making Good at Front Successful Trench Fighting Demands Team Work, Says British Recruiting Officer. "anes port trench warfare 4 ‘mands perfect teamwork. The trained athlete has the best chance of making good at the front. ‘This is how Col, George Williams, head of the British Recruiting Mis- sion in New York, summarizes the need and importance of athletic ac- tivities for soldiers, “My country in no way etints the sporting activities of sol- diere,” said Col. Williams, a gri zled veteran of French an: gian battlefields, “When men are ordered from the trenches they are taken far to the rear and en- couraged to amuse themselves playing baseball, soccer or any other healthful sport. in this way their minds are taken off the serious business of trench fighting. “Sports not only afford won- dertul recreation, but add great~ ly to the discipline of any army. There must be teamwork for one regiment to defeat another in football, and this system of oo- operation is simply carried out on a much larger scale on the battlefield, where the advancing infantry must go to a certain int and no further or it will deotroved y its own artillery. “At training camps in En: id Canada increases of soldiers, but ayonet fighting is much on the prin- ciples of boxing.” To jilustrate the benefits of ath- letics for the army, Col, Williams pro- duced a letter from his son in France, which read that the writer, after playing American baseball, soc- cer and boxing with brother officers, was sunburned and hardened almost beyond recognition. Col, Williams concluded by volun- teering a tip to all American regi- ments to be well supplied with ath- letic equipment before leaving this country for France, ‘The British armies secured about all their sporting paraphernalia from voluntary subscriptions, Up in Can- ada a fund of nearly $80,000 was raised in a few weeks to purchase athletic goods for the Dominion fighters, some time to come Uncle Sam's boys in khaki must rely on the ‘osity of the individual for their baseballs, boxing gloves and other athletic equipment, Congress neg- lected to provide for the sporting co- commodations of our soldiers, The Army Athletic Fund, now be- ing collec by this paper; is the of. clal medium for the receipt of sub- scriptions for army athletic supplies in this Btate. The transportation and distribution of all paraphernalia pur- ch: by the fund will be under the SuperVision of the Commission of Training Camps’ Aotivities, No mat- ter where New York regiments are sent they'll be assured of their allot- ment of athletic supplies—if the indi- vidual will do his bit by contributing to the fund, It is the plan of the Training Camps Commission to furnish every company of every New York regi- ment with a standard set of supplies, consisting of boxing gloves, baseball, football, socoer outfits and other sup- plies for both indoor and outdoor use. Can ~you possibly picture how the Sixty-ninth, which 1s soon to leave for France, would welooine a ship- ment of sport equipment? Col, Charles Hine, the regiment's new Colonel, strongly recommends the use of sport exercise for all soldiers, but his command right now ts woe- fully shy of the necessary supplies. The time to furnish the regiment with this equipment ts now. The Irish lads are going three thousand miles away from home to a land where nothing in the shape of boxing gloves or baseballs can be obtained. If patriotic New Yorkers would quickly rally té the fund the famous Sixty-ninth will be furnished with plenty of athletic supplies before it sails, In the latest. batch of mubscrip- tions is a contribution of $32.50 from the Yorkville Sporting Club at No. 225 East Seventy-second Street, With commendable patriotism this popular Yorkville club, by taking up a col- lection from its members at a recent boxing show, has set a fine example for other organizations, If other clubs could show this same spirit the boys of the Sixty-ninth wouldn't need worry how they're going to spend their Idle hours in France.

FOREST HILLS, Aug. 22.—Eight surviving players in the National Patriotic Singles Lawn Tennis Tour- nament met here this afternoon in cotest to decide the winners of sem!- final rounds brackets. Weather con- ditions were not as favorable as dur- | fy ing the preceding days of the tour- nament. The sky was overcast with @ threat of rain in the alr and the atmosphere was beavy and humid. ‘The largest gallery of the week was present when John R. Strachan of San Francisco and Charles 8. Gar- land of Pittsburgh appeared in the|t? opening grandstand court match of the afternoon, Earlier in the day Craig Biddle of Philadelphia and Dean Mathey of Cranford, N. J., completed the post- poned match of yesterda: Biddle winning his place in the fourth round in the fourth set. The complete score of the carried over contest showed Biddle the victor, 6—4, 12-14, 6-8, 6—3. TR. Lindley Murray and Harold A. Throckmorton stood out in the third round of the national tourna- ment singles on the turf courts at Forest Hills, Murray fairly eur- passed all of ,his previous per- formances as he overthrew the whirlwind attack of William T. Til- den jr, the young Pennsylvania player, Tilden, limping and phys! cally almost at collapse, tried to atem the tide against him at the dlose by tossing across lobs, It was futile, for Murray was going with all the fury of his net assault, to finish by the score of 8-6, 6—4, 6—3, Throckmortor achieved the diatinc- tion of being the first to eliminate one of the top ranking players, He eohquered Watson M. Washburn after four stubbornly fought sets which were finally tallied at 46, 6—2, 6—4, 6—4. There were elements about this match which caused it to resemble closely that in which Murray defeated Tilden. For a time Washburn, who ranked at No. 7 on the national list, used his racquet with superior skill, whipping across shots that repeated~ ly caught the junior champion Throckmorton off bis feet and wide of the ball. Throckmorton by tremendous effort br lifted his game to amaaing filghts of pace and brilllancy, The daring and audacity of his assault finally weak- ened Washburn, Ounce the drives of the ranking player no longer pos sessed a sting the end came quickly. ‘The thing that somewhat surprised the crowd was that three of the play- ers who bad been in the training camps—Washburn, Dean Mathey and by the Press Pumtinine Oe (The New Tort Groening Werte Handler of Whitney Horses Sends Two Winners to _ Post at Saratoga.
