Now We Have a Lady "Comet." LAWN tennis, since the subsidence of the world-war, has witnessed the rise of a tennis sensation that promises to make the famous California "Meteor" resemble a parlor match flicker by comparison. The newest sensation of the court firmament is a lady comet a French girl whose remarkable achievement recently at Cannes, France, has aroused the cariosity of American tennis devotees. Mary Browne and Mrs. May Sutton Bundy have withdrawn from competition, leaving the powerful Scandinavian woman alone in her class. Perhaps the French entry will dispute Miss BJurstedt's honors with her and add zest to the title race.

At present the United States has not developed any new women tennis player of MKs BJurstedt's caliber. Davis Cup Position Defended. SOME criticism of America's failure to enter the Davis Cup competitions of the present year, in view of the fact that England, France and Belgium are competing, has been heard. It has been pointed out that most of the tennis teams have not suffered greatly through the war, with the exception of the Australasian titlehold-ers. who are now without the Important defense lent in past years by Anthony F.

Wilding, a late hero of the Gallipoll campaign. 'It Is also pointed out that there is scant chance that any country involved will be able to add new talent of cup quality within the short space of one year America having announced its intention to enter in 1920. The ehaarea are atrnK that the America a team, throaga lack practice, will thia rear be at Ita vreakent. However.

Mathey, in 1916, was tenth ranking st.tr in the U. and Watters wa3 in the class just below him. Ordinarily the idea that any mixed doubles aggregation could defeat such a combination would be considered ludicrous, the more especially as Mathey once specialized in the doubles play as the partner, at Princeton, of George Meyers Church. This pair also won the clay court doubles title. Still more astonishing than the defeat itself is the fact that the? French mixed doubles pair dercauxl the American cracks 60, 6 01 Accounts of the match say that Miss Lenglen's playing was the surprising feature of the contest.

New Zest to Woman's Title. THE advent of a capable woman player to the world's tennis galaxy will greatly enhance interest in the women's division. At present the championships have been so dominated by Miss Molla Bjurstedt, the Norse girl, as to obscure the chances of all other candidates. Unfortunately, the only two women players in the world, up to the advent of Miss Lenglen. able to engage Miss Bjurstedt on equal terms Mis.s TripleDer by to Be Worth $100,000 Lucky Horse Must Win All Three Great Kentucky Racing Classics.

NEW YORK, March 27. There have been double events galore on the turf, most famous of which are the Czarewitch and Cambridgeshire; but the Kentucky Jockey Club is going to go them all one better and have a triple event, next season. Mat Winn, the new vice president and general manager of the four tracks which combined recently, told all about it yesterday and how a horse may win close to $100,000 if it wins this triple event. The races are the Lexington Derby of $10,000 added at one mile and a furlong, which has been run as tho spring trial stakes: the Kentucky Derby at one mile and a quarter, which will have an added money value of $25,000 next season, and the Latonia Derby of $25,000 added, the only one at the real Derby distance, one mile and a half. Now for the bonuses.

The Kentucky Jockey Club will give an additional $5000 to the horse that wins both the Lexington and Kentucky Derbies.1 $10,000 to the 3-year-old that wins the Kentucky and the I-a-tonia and $15,000 over and abov all other monies to the colt or filly that wins all three. As the races always have been worth more to the winner than the added money, the premiums can easily bring the sum close to $100,000. The Kentucky Jockey Club is making a big bid for the best horses ii training and winning a triple event Is not beyond the bounds of possibility for a real champion. DE ORO AND COPULOS IN TITLE MATCH TONIGHT Alfredo De Oro, the 56-year-old Cuban, who recently regained the world's three-cushion championship, will defend his honors for the first time, starting tonight, when he meets Gus Copulos in Detroit.

Eugene Robertson while not to be considered In the light of a regular, for the present, nevertheless has made such a favorable impression -with everyone in camp here that it is now the- intention of Manager Jim Burke to keep the youth on the bench and teach him big-league baseball. All that Robertson lacks is experience. Burke is immensely pleased with Robertson. The manager of the Browns Bays that the youngster is the best looking prospect that he has seen come up to the majors in a number of years. Burke: "Robertson has everything that is needed to make good in the big leagues, except experience, and I am going to keep him on the bench, this season, and let him learn the game by watching the other fellows play.

I wouldn't be at all surprised of he made good on the Job at short before the season closes. Robertson has a wonderful throw- ing arm. he can field in grand fash- ion. going to either aidet equally well. What I like about! the boy best of all is that he can hit the ball hard.

Most of his hits go to right center on a line; to date he has Leonard Defeats Thorp in Joplin Champion Wins Every Round and Has Rival in Bad Shape in Second. JOPLIX, March 27. Benny Leonard, lightweight champion. defeated Usrvay Thorp of Kansas City in each of the 10 rounds of a hout before the Joplin Athletic Club 'nst night. At the end of ths bout Thorp's right eye was closed and bleeding and he was holding frequently.

Leonard took the first round and came back in the second with an apparent determination to end the bout early. He sent in a rain of hard blows to Thorp's jaw that put the Kansas City boy in bad shape, and though it seemed that he would go nown, he stayed out the round. Thorp came back much stronger in the third and continued to stop hard blows, but Leonard could not put him out. Leonard used his left In battering Thorp's face and in the eighth closed his eye. He made Thorp miss repeatedly, but also fii-d to land several swlnga that he tried to put over him-sel.

T- In the seventh, which was the only round in which he showed to advantage against the champion. Thorp landed several good punches, but they were not effective. Thorp's ability to assimilate punishment apparently surprised Leonard. The champion repeatedly swung with all hip might and directed his blows well, but when they landed they only stopper Thorpe momentarily and he was back mixing it again. In the ninth and tenth rounds Leonard fought hard and Thorp was inclined to go into clinches more than at any other stage of the bout.

The tenth saw Leonard use his right in putting over several hard swings. A. A. U. Delegates Named.

There will be no eprlng competitive athletics at St. Louis University this year, according to an announcement made by Father Hermans, director of athletics at the Grand avenue institution. The Billikens bad hoped to be officially represented by a baseball club which would meet Washington University for the local collegiate championship. This year, however, no effort to oppose the Pikers will be made. The reason given was that It is too hard to get the athletes to report for practice.

The college department and the high school will each be represented by a baseball nine, but neither team will purport to serve as an official representative of St. Louis University. It is stated that the college team would be glad to play Washington University. The St. L.

IT. club will be made up of students in the Arts and Sciences School.

Ttoliertxon a Football Star. Robertson will be remembered by the football fans of St. L-uis as a speedy' little quarterback on the Billiken grid eleven. He played the position until injured in on of the late fall games. Robertson learned to play DaU when attending Loyala Academy, a preparatory school for St.

Louis University. During the summer months' Robertson played with the Donnelly Stars, and it was vhUs with this team in Kansas City that he first attracted the attention of the professional scouts. The management of the Kansas City team offered Robertson a fairly good contract, but both 'Robbie" and his father decided to wait and make an effort to make connections with the St. Louis Browns. To watch Robertson field his position and run the bases brings memories of Johnny Lavan.

All the players on the squad have remarked a number of times about this likeness between Robertson and Lavan. Rochester Stars Lead in A. B. C. Kallusch and Barnes Rolled 13 05 in National Tourney This Morning.
