Baumgartner Loses Title Match To Hill. Mrs.V H. Wilson Takes Woman's Laurels. Breamer Gathering Proves To Be One of Bright Spots of Year on Local Le'fjolferg, who are more ardent dev oteeg at the shrine of their sovereign game than are most other athletes their favorite sports, have made the past year a merry-go-round ot triumphs of the (royal and ancient game. The most notable linksmen of the Queen City both pros and otherwise have co-operated in a marvelous get-together spirit that has resulted In Cincinnati's shaping many promising careers among the younger mashiemen during the successful se ries of tournaments held in 1926 aft the various crack courses.

The outstanding; 'meet of the sea-ion was the Cincinnati championship tourney, held at the Maketewah Country Club. This consisted of three flights championship, Queen City and Maketewah. Douglas Hill, Cincinnati took the.big honors, defeating the veteran star, Al Baumgartner. Alfred Hill, brother of the champion, came in with the Queen round, eliminating Hugh Stew-'arw Joe Creaghead, one of the prom- taing young golfers of Greater Cln cTnnatl. won the Maketewah flight The elimination af two veteran Frenchmen fell upon TUden, Johnston and Richards and the carnage was something terrific.

With an attack led by Lacoste, Borotra and Cochet America's Big Thiee in tennis wer? "'I'" all-Frencn aiaina nuivu vim That wasn't the only set of blows struck at the kings. A week later 130,000 people gathered at Phtla delphia's Sesquicentennlal Stadium and paid out $1,900,000 to see what Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight champion, and Gene Tunney, the challenger, had to offer in the way of thrills. This fight smashed nil American sporting records for at tendance and it smashed all world's records for. all time in the way of gate receipts and prize money Dempsey and Tunney took away $900,000 for thirty minutes work, be ing paid at the rate of $30,000 minute. Dempsey received $700,000 from this collection and Tunney $200,000.

The Dempsey who had looked to be In such good condition five days before the contest suddenly turned into a human punchingbag as Tun ney, the marine, cuffed mm about for ten roundau Dempsey depended largely on threatening gestures and fierce rushes, which melted quickly as Tunney socked his battered fea tures steadily with rights and lefts. As a contest it carried few thrills since It takes two to make a fight and Dempsey had little to offer beyond the capacity to absorb a lot of flying leather. Just after this episode took -place Jack Sharkey came over from Boston to hand Harry Wills the same type of beating and the long wrangle over Dempsey and Wills was swept out with the dust Wills" looked almost as bad as Dempsey when he passed out of the picture, probably to re turn no more. October broke out with the usual world series, where the St Louis Cardinals were locked in a death embrace with the New York Yankees for a matter of seven games. The pitching of Pennock, Alexander and Sherdel featured- most of the (how, which also found Babe Ruth riding the crest his home-run eye focused on the outlying fences.

The Babe broke enough records in this, one series to last an army. But after the veteran Alexander had beaten the Yankees twice, the big climax came in the last game in New York, when his ancient' arm was called in to relieve a congested occasion with the bases full. He struck out Tony Lazzeri, a first-class hitter, and put the Cardinals on top ot the heap. Dartmouth Is Dethroned in Football. A few days later football was raging with something more than Its customary fury.

Dartmouth, one of the champions 1926, lost four games tn a row; Alabama, another unbeaten team from the year before continued Its winning ways, one of the few champions to keep going without taking a header. Yale and Harvard had a stormy time and Princeton had a tough October. In the East he Army, Brown, Lafay ette and Boston College were un' beaten, with the Army losing only to Notre Dame at the top of South Bend strength. Michigan and Northwestern split the Conference title, as Stanford finished in front on the Pacific Coast. It was a smashing Carnegie Tech team that checked out Notre Dame.

New York University went unbeaten to her final game with Nebraska. and Columbia overturned Cornell and gave Pennsylvania a scare. Eighty thousand people saw Stan ford and California play. Ninety-four thousand saw Michigan and Ohio State. But these marks all fell when 110,000 spectators, with 30,000 more, looking from outside, saw the Army and Navy meet in Chicago.

These two teams were both extremely powerful, two of the best In the game, and the battle they fought to a 21-21 draw will remain one of the remembered classics of all tfme. It was a season in which the point after touchdown decided ten Important games, this factor beating a big team from Southern California twice. Michigan won two battles by this margin, to reverse U. 8. melancholy result.

So 1926. with all its ballyhoo and its tremendous orowds, fades out with a flock of new champions and tltleholders attempting to peer through the fogs of 1927 to read their fate. JUBt how many will finish with their crowns still on top of their heads is a story which only the ap- proacmuY year can write. COURT TENNIS. C.

De spite several lean years Ohio State owns the second best football record in the Big Ten, all games considered. for the period 1911-1926, inclusive, ex cept for the "unofficial" campaign of 1918.

Michigan leads the pack, but the Wolverines were hot In the conference from 1913 until 1919. It was In 1916 and 1117 that the Buckeyes first won the Big Ten title, and had Michigan been in the conference in those days, the tale might be slightly different On the basis of all games played from 1911 through 1926, excluding only 1918, Ohio State has an average of .730, haying won 65, lost Zi and tied eight games. Michigan In that period has won 79, lost 21 and, tied three contests for a mark of .790. Illinois Is third, having won 65, lost 25 and tied six games for an average of .722.

Gertrude- Ederle swam the Channel to start a long procession on its way across. Babe Ruth came back to his home-run glory and Grover Cleveland Alexander featured a world series that found the St' Louis Cardinals supplanting Pitts burg's Pirates as the champion ball club of the game, Exciting episodes came faster than the eye could follow the panorama of events. Bobby Jones won the open champoinshlps of Great Britain and the United States; George Von Elm dethroned Bobby Jones as the ama- teur golf champion of America; Tiger Flowers removed the middleweight crown from' Harry Greb, and Mickey Walker, chased out of the welter' weight kingdom by Pete Latzo. re' lieved Tiger Flowers of the middle weight insignia. It- was a merry-go rouqd that was none to merry.

'Nineteen Twenty-Six stepped out upon the dewy turf of its early dawn with, Dempsey, Tllden, Berlenbach, Walker, Greb, Rocky Kansas, Willie Macfarlane, Bobby Jones, Glenna Col lett, Helen Wills, Hornsby, Hellmann, Pittsburg, Dartmouth and Hagen hold lng the more Important leaderships. But, as 1926 stumbles along in the dusk of a dying year, only, Jones and Hagen from this longltst are still wear lng the purple. Jones lost oris crown at golf and picked up two others in its place, as Hagen remained one of the few to hold his place on top of the hill. 130,000 Saw Tunney Triumph. Gene Tunney, the marine, turned Dempsey into a punching bag as 130,000 rain-soaked spectators in Philadelphia saw the ex-champlon turned tfito a third-rater minus any semblance of punching power or ring skill.

One by one the remainder of the cast with two exceptions, floundered out upon the well-oiled chute to reach the bottom with a crash. It was the greatest massacre of kings, queens and rulers at large in tne nistory or sport, it was a heavier slaughter than the ancient ballad sings where "Of fifteen hundred Englishmen, went 1 home but fifty -three; The rest In Chevy phase were slain beneath the greenwood tree." The air was full of bleeding bodies that only a year ago Were topped by crowns. In place of the old brl gade that had started so gallantly to the wars a year ago, the parade now moves into a new year with Tunney, La Coste, Delaney, Latzo, Walker, Mandell, Bobby Jones, Mrs. Stetson, Mrs. Mallory, Manusch, Ala bama, Stanford, the Navy, Lafayette and Brown holding the more impor tant leads.

Dartmouth was a typical example of the spirit of 1926. Unbeaten through 1924 and 1925, the big Green team from Hanover crashed in turn before Tale, Harvard, Brown and Cor' nell. Ninteen twenty-six was cobra' tinted poison for most of those who led the caravan as the procession started on Its way. While all this was taking place Harvard and Princeton suddenly sep arated with a reverberating echo that might have been heard 90 miles at sea. The fuse was already adjust ed when the "Harvard Lampoon" ap plied the match, crudely, clumsily, but effectively, and now there are two pictures turned to 'the wall two souls with but a single hate, two hearts that knock each other.

Yale lost four games and Harvard lost five, and Princeton had to re trieve part of her season by beating Yale and Baseball Loses Big Figures.

Wherever you turned a champion was being beaten or a star veteran was fading Into the fog, a dim sil houette against the glory that used to be. The most vivid performance of the year came when uertruqe JMierie blazed her way across the English Channel, the first of her sex to bat ter through this barricade. Most of the early excitement start ed on the other side.

The first turn came when Jesse aweexser, in un midst of a serious Illness, won the British amateur championship, where for 22 years the best amateurs in America had failed. Sweetser's per formance under the handicap of 111 health was one of the triple-starred accomplishments of a sporting decade. He had to fight his way through Ill ness and a stong field to bring DacK 1 A a writisn iropny wmtu our best for nearly '26 years. A short while afterward Bobby Jones started his remarkable summer campaign by winning the British open and the United States open, and then reaching the final round In the United States' amateur championship, when unbeatable golf by George Von Elm, of Los Angeles, over the hard Raltu'srol course finally" turned the Georgian back from a triple record.

k' Each of the foregoing clubs held tournaments also to decide their individual championships. Braemer Is a Success. working his way' through a superblxavler Musketeer eleven waJ'f'rfn'" field of contenders for the title held the leading hlgh-polt teams 'one of the, big golf spectacles of Greater Cincinnati was the seventh annual Braemer played at the Hyde Park Golf and Country Club. In the Braemer instituted in these parts by James I. Clark, President of the local Golfers' League all players don weird outfits after the fashion of the first Braemer held in the Scottish Hills.

In this year's Braemer 64 holes were played, as compared with Not in conference 191S-1917, in clusive. Ohio State owns the best mark against non-Western Conference teams, with 83 victories, two losses and four "draws" in 39 starts for a standing of .943. Wisconsin is run ner-up with a mark of .931, repre senting 27 wins, a pair of defeats and two ties, closely followed by Illinois with averages of .893, tho result of 25 wins, and three losses. Michigan has a record of 52 victories, defeats and two tie games form mark of .825 against "outside" opposition. The Ohio State defeats were at the hands of California In 1920 and by Obcrlln a year later.

Wisconsin lost to Michigan Aggies in 1913 and to Notre Dame In 1924. Illinois fell be fore Colgate In 1916, Butler in 1923 and Nebraska in 1925. On the whole the non-Big Ten com petition was fairly Uniform, except perhaps in the case of Chicago. The Maroons In the 13 seasons studied played only 14 games with outside foes, winning 13 and losing six. But among the opponents In those 19 games were such teams as Missouri, Brown: Pennsylvania, Princeton, Georgia and Dartmouth.

SQUASH RACQUETS. W. Palmer Dixon, a member of the Racquet and Tennis Club of New Tork City, won the national amateur squash racquets championship honors by a brilliant exhibition of play. Dixon proved his mastery over the best players from all sections of the country in winning this tournament. In addition, his performance throughout the squash racquets season were a forecast of what he would do In the national tourney.

The game is advancing steadily, not only here in the East where Boston, New York and Philadelphia are represented by strong teams, but also in other cities where it has only recently taken a foothold. The Harvard Club holds the initial team honors. 72 during each of the preceding six affairs. Several dozen prizes were presented 'to the various winners of heevent. Officials of the local Golfers' League assert that 1926 was the most encouraging year on the greens ever in the history of Cincinnati.

A novelty in golf frats opening in 1926 was Ridgewood Club, with Al Joslln, 1 inveterate linksman and all-round sportsman as Uv President. This or-' ganlzatiorr is the only semi-publio 18-hole golf course in the Queen City and has proven a notable success. Another club to make unusual headway during the past year Is Twin Oaks, captained by Harvey Myers. Its course is but two years old and originally consisted of but nine holes, but finished the season with 18. Its members look forward tqan even better year in 1927.

The Greater Cincinnati Golfers' League plans to meet in latter January and, according to President James I. Clark, will formulate plans for an exceptionally edifying general golf season during 1927. 'I 1 NOW tOV TELL ONE. Minneapolis is said to have paid $11,000 to Duluth for Eddie Rodden, hockey star, while both clubs were so many years by Jay Gould. In win ning.

Cutting confirmed the opinion of competent critics that he Is among the greatest amateurs that ever played the The New Yorker, who, with his brother Fulton, has several times won the doubles honors, gave indications that he may retain his new honors for several years, now that Gould has announced his permanent retirement from the game. Gould and J. W. Wear, of Philadel phia, proved to be the strongest com bination in the doubles, taking the title after several brilliant victories. To see Jay Gould in action Is to see the poetry of motion, allied with a skill that has never been equaled.

Jock Soutar, of Philadelphia, gained the national professional championship honors by defeating Walter Kin-sella, long the champion. Soutar also holds the national professional rec-quets title. RACQUETS. Stanley G. Mortimer, of Tuxedo, N.

won the national amateur racquets singles In 1926. He and C. C. Pell, of New York, between them have fairly dominated the field In this difficult game for most of the last decade. But in the doubles a surprise was sprung.

Instead of Pell and Mortimer carry- ng off the prize, as has so often been the case, Robert A. Gardner and How ard Linn, of Chicago, came through to win the laurel wreath. Tbey had pre viously won the Western champion ship, but few believed they would be able to add the national honors to their list of triumphs. Gardner, a for mer champion pole 'vaulter at Yale University and also a former natinnal rkmateur golf champion, gave another demonstration In this tournament of his astonishing versatility in athletics.
