HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 25, 1923. 13 HARRISBURG GOLFERS IN STATE TITLE MATCH AT READING RAINY DAY SPORT DOINGS WEDNESDAY EVENING, BY LAWRENCE PERRY By Special Leased Wire to Harrisburg Telegraph. Copyright. ew York. July 25.

Annually the tennis tournament at Seabright, N. where the turf courts have no superior In this country. Is regarded as the final line upon the prospects of the leading: exponents of the court game. Until this time the stars have been playing alternately upon dirt and upon grass, their game therefore subject. to variations in excellence.

But with the Seabright tournament, all clay court tennis is over for the season and form, as a consequence, proceeds logically to Hs highest expression. The fact tha't William Tilden will be in the west and therefore not available means nothing so far as appraisal of the future is concerned because everyone knows that in the national tournaments in Serj the champion will be at his very best. His presence would add to the interest, to be sure, but there ti oe stellar attractions aplenty without htm. William Johnston, for Instance. He has stated that he is not sure whether he will appear at Seabright, dui friends say that he Is sure to, since lie will need this tournament under his belt 'following his ocean voyage from England.

Just now Little Bill is a bit fine and is resting, his idea being to regain those fifteen pounds which he brought from the West, but some of which he left behind him p.t Wimbieton. FEATHERWEIGHTS TO FIGHT BY PAIR PLAY By Special Leased Wire to Harrisburg Telegraph. Copyright. Xew York, July 25. Johnny Dun flee continues to be a warm favorite in the battle for the featherweight world's championship title now held by Eugene Criqui, of France, which will take place in the ring at the Polo Grounds to morrow night.

Just why he should be is not easy to answer. In the writer's opinion even money at least should prevail. The sentiment in favor of the Italian probably comes from his fellow countrymen and from those who have followed the Scotch wop in his battles against fighters of almost every weight under the middleweight division. Those who are acclaiming him in ftdvance as winner maintain that, it will not hurt Dundee to reduce to the required limit, 126 pounds, ana that Criqui will not be able to withstand Dundee's whirlwind tactics. The Frenchman's fight against John Kllbane is thrown out so far as the knockout is concerned, it being the general opinion that the Cleveland veteran was not as fast asleep as he appeared to be.

OLD TIMERS READY FOR UMPIRE'S CALL AT WEST END FIELD Old time West End fans will rub their eyes in astonishment on Thursday evening, when they see Motter cavorting around In an P. uniform. "Dusty" has lead the attack against the M. P. team many times with the West End Club, when those two clubs were bitter rivals; but, politics and baseball make strange alignments, hence Motter will transfer his allegiance, which includes his ponderous hitting, to the Brackenridge tribe, and help to down Williamsport.

For the first game on Thursday evening Williamsport will oppose the new Harrisburg club, the opposing batteries being Fedder and Byers for Williamsport and Smith and Frey for Harrisburg. This fray will be called at 5.30 o'clock. For the first Saturday afternoon the fast going Palmyra team will be the attraction. This club is one uf the strongest in this section. It made a clean sweep of the series with Hershey, and gave Klein Chocolate a whale of fight in a three game series.

For this game the batteries will be Plowman and Peifer for Palmyra and Harned and Frey for the local team. LUIS FIRPOTSIGNS TO FIGHT IN OMAHA Omaha, July 25. Lui3 Angel Firpo, Argentine fighter, who recently conquered Jess Willard, will fight here, August 3, according to an announcement by Francis (Pat) Boyle, Omaha fight promoter, in a ten round decision bout. His opponent has not been selected, but probably will be Floyd Johnson, Iowa fighter; Homer Smith, or Hughie Walker, Boyle said. SHOOTER WIXS PURSE Hazlcton, July 25.

Offered $250 if he could grass eight out of 11 pigeons, Fred Seager, of this city, at the Meiss grounds, killed eight out of the first nine. Mahanoy Plane sports provided the money and the birds. Then we shall have a line upon young Harvey Snodgrass, who gained fame by defeating Johnston on the racinc coast last winter ana aemon st rater! throusrh his defeat Of Law rence Rice at Longwood tht other aav mat ne is a youngster oe reckoned with. Howard Voshell has been showing Improved form this season, thanks to some novelties In Jersev coast. Norris Williams.

Wal lace Johnston, Washburns, Vincent Richards and other American stars as well as representatives of the Australian Davis Cup team, will be on nana. Ami hefnrfl the Seabrisrht matches, tennis lovers of the metropolitan district win see spirited action in the first American tie for the Davis Cup played this year, Australia and Hawaii competing. I. D. Mclnnes and W.

B. Schleslnger of the Antipodean team are two youngsters who. according to expert opinion from their native land, are going to spring a surprise upon American enthusiasts. And on the other hand the point is made that for several rounds, until he tired, Kilbane showed up Criqui. All of which is interesting.

At the same time it should not be forgotten that Criqui Is a two handed hitter, is fast and can stand a hard walloping1. One thing is certain, the battle should be a real one with no one carrying anyone along1, or holding back with an eye to future engagements. These French fellows have the honor of their country at heart and the only way an opponent sticks in the ring with them is to weather the hardest wallops that the patriotic Gauls can administer. A prospect of this sort is likely to lure many thousands to the Polo Grounds who remained away from the Yankee stadium on Monday night. No announcement as yet to Demp sey and Firpo.

But the inside dope is that the two men are on the verge of being signed. In the meantime Harry Wills has broken his long and sportsmanlike silence. He says he can take Firpo on in a preliminary bout and Dempsey in the final and beat them both. Harry made it good when he did speak. JESS SWEETSER IS GIVEN GOLD MEDAL Cleveland, Ohio, July 25.

Although he finished in tenth place of yesterday's scoring and slumped seven strokes from the first round, Jess Sweetser, of New York, national amateur golf champion, yesterday with a 75 won the gold medal in the qualification for the western amateur title play because of the lead his record 68 for the Mayfield links gave him in the first round. Sweetser scored the same yesterday as Chick Evans, the defending champion, returned Monday, while Evans, despite a bad start that put him three over part in the first three holes, finished with a 73 for 148, tie ing him with three others for fourth place in medal play. Within two strokes of the national champion's fine 143, five strokes under the average of the best score for 72 holes at the recent national open meet, from which Sweetser retired because of poor play, came Captain E. F. Carter, of Chicago, formerly champion of Ireland, who scored 71, 74145.

FEATHERWEIGHTS ARE READY FOR THE BELL New York, July 25. Eugene Criqui, of France, featherweight cnampion, and Johnny Dundee, his American challenger, have finished training for their fifteen round title match to morrow night at the Polo grounds. Both will do just enough exercising from now until the fight to keep on edge. Dundee, at his West Orange, N. quarters, covered eight miles on the road yesterday and later boxed six rounds.

The Frenchman, already nearly two pounds under the 126 pound feather limit, had a less stren uous program. Tom O'Rourke, matchmaker of the Polo Grounds A. has completed a card of four preliminaries. Two of these will bring together "Irish Johnny" Curtin, Jersey City bantamweight, and Danny Edwards, of California, and Leon Poutcf.

Starting to morrow afternoon at 3.30 o'clock the Giants will play the first of a three game series with the Washington Potomacs of Washington. D. C.

Other contests will be played on Fri aay ana Saturday afternoons on tne H. field. The Giants have at last got back in fairly good condition and with practically every injured player back In the game, the local colored stars should make a clean sweep of the series. Treadwell and Smith have been doing the blunt of the pitching on tne last series or games out oi the city and have been coming through in great style. Their work will be watched with Interest in the Washington contest.

Wicks and Fiall as usual have been the guide posts of the infield, their work being of a spectacular variety all season. Both players have been coming through in the hit column lately when hits meant runs, and they should be a big asset to the team against the Ben Taylor aggregation. Not much need be said about the visitors, as local followers of the national game know what to expect in the way of a baseball exhibition when the National Capital team comes to Harrisburg. In the number of games played between the two clubs, the Potomacs have an edge on Colonel Strother's nine, but the local stars are expected to go out in front when ine record is published of this week's contests. On their two previous appearances here the southern club has played one of the best brands of ball that any other team has exhibited this season against the Giants in Island Park and Manager Lamar took advantage of the open dates this week to clinch the series which will very likely be the last one between the two teams this year.

Other fast clubs have been scheduled and will play in Island Park during August. The Giants are now ready to meet the fastest teams in the country, since most of the players have recuperated enough to play the game.

July 25. Two defeats are not so much the heat or a i.tse ball campaign, but they can do a great deal of damage to team's pennant aspirations. Two defeats for the Cincinnati Club by St. Louis in their last series of three games should not causa Redland fans im US 1 li.lt hnrA hilt tn hone but time and the manner in which the defeats were administered have started a chain of conjecture as to whether the Reds have run afoul of the same midsummer experience which has dropped Pittsburgh Into the sully of defeat for the last two years. Had Cincinnati, after its capital Eastern trip, ripped into St.

Louis, and cut it down and close to the ground the Reds would be more of a factor for the pennant by 10 per cent, than tht have proved themselves to be by tlieir inability to smash their way to the front by sheer skill. They had a game and half or two games 10 go to Diove that thev were readv to be front runners. They, did not make it. The KDrinter who rirnwa nn tn with in 10 yard of the leaders is the same kind of a race horse. The Cincin NET VISITORS MAY TAKE HOME TITLES United States Champions Can Expect Some Surprises; Bright By LAWRENCE PEIWftY By Special Leased Wire to Harrisburg Telegraph.

Copynght. New York. July 25. Of all the distinguished tennis visitors now engaged in play in the Metropolitian sections a young woman just now is attracting the greatest interest Miss Helen Wills, the 17 year old Cali fornian. The writer viewed her in action at West Chester Blltmore to day and found that her game had increased in strength and accuracy in all departments while in stature well it may no longer be said of Miss Wills that she suggests neither in build or appearance the little school girl of 1921 22.

In other words she has shot up at least five inches and as well has broadened. Her every suggestion is of lancing speed, strength and endurance. Not Mrs. Mallory but Miss McKane and Mrs. Beamish, of England are likely to be her stumbling blocks, if she meets any.

Has Dazsllna Serve Harvey Snodgrass, the young Cali fornian, who defeated Johnston and other stars on the Pacific Coast last winter gives alluring promise but It is hardly fair to judge him yet until he has accustomed himself to the turf courts of the East The lower bound has bothered him in his stroking and he will have to adapt his game to the lessened height of the ball before he can be expected to make trouble for the established stars. His present assets are the usual California dazzling serve and Impressive volleying also a characteristic of the average West Coast star. B. I. C.

MIDDLETOWN' JUXIORS BID The Middletown Juniors are open for games either at home or away. Communicate with C. Sheehan, Cum merclal avenue. Middletown.

1 natis have got to get those 10 yards and 10 more before they will prove that they are to be relied upon. While they are trying for them again after having lost ground, watch out for the Giants. It is in moments of this kind that the New Yorks excel. How They Go Out Clubs have been able to give the Giants any kind of a battle in recent years have gone along all right until that period Tn midsummer when they have "chucked the job." St. Louis has done it.

Pittsburgh has dona it and Cincinnati is worrying th.le early wiiemer tne neon are not going to do it. The Giants won three games against St. Louis out of five played. The St. Louis team which is not so much unless the men are pulling in union, has thrashed the Reds with mere ease than the Reds thrashed Nt York, and all season the Cardinals have been giving the Cincinnati a battle.

Must Beat St. Lonla Ft. Louis is one of th teams, tha iKeds should be able to shake by the roliar if they expect to overtake New York and pass it. No team has had a better opportunity to get up to the tape neck and neck with the man tne cincinnatts have had within the last 10 days. When the Reds should have shown whethef they have the class to do those things wnicn matce pennant winners, tney have faltered with the Cardinals to beat.

St. Louis has a pitching staff that is not overstrong and Cincinnati should beat the Cardinals at the ratio of three games out of every uve at least, rney naven 1 aone 11. Helen Wills Has Future seriously and plays a well rounded game. His style relates mainly to placing rather than crashing speed, his aim being to force opponents into errors. He covers courts well and never lets up from first set to last.

His presence here will add to the interest of the big tournaments, but hardly of a caliber sufficiently great to embarrass our leading stars in supreme testa. The Kinsey brothers are playing well up to their level and if there is any doubles team that can show greater finesse, better strategy in manuvering and stroking it has not appeared thus far this season. The Davis cup tie round between Australia and Hawaii which begins the last of this week in Jersey will furnish evidence as to the warrant of the good things that have been said of the two Antipodean youngsters, McLInn and Schleslnger. Chief Obstacles Then there is William Johnston, fresh from European triumphs and generally regarded by the critics as having a great chance this season to capture the national singles. And paired with Peck Griffin, also of California, there is no small prospect that Johnston will win such laurels as go to a member of a national champion doubles team.

The Kinsey brothers and Tilden and Richards will be the chief obstacles. With either the Kinseys or Griffin and Johnston set to beat the present doubles champions, Tilden and Richards; with Helen Wills geared to dispose of Molla Mallory, and Johnston after Tilden's scalp, the Pacific Coast stands a reasonable chance of owning a lot of new athletic titles after September. TWILIGHT LEAGUES TO RESUME PLAY; TITLES AT STAKE Rain interfered with an important contest in the Sunday School League last evening between Park Street Evangelical and Tabernacle Baptist. A victory for the former team would have clinched the pennant for the Hill aggregation for Manager Snyder's nine has been going at a record breaking pace all season, losing but one game out of thirteen played to aaie. Games in the league will be resum ed this evening, weather permitting with Park Street lining up with Pine Street Presbyterian on the H.

grounds in island Park at 5.30 o'clock. Should the league leaders come oft the field victorious they will be but a nan game irom the championship. To morrow evening Pine Street will tackle Tabernacle Baptist on the Fifth and Walnut streets grounds. Both games are expected to be thrillers. The Industrial League will also get into action this evening with the Pennsylvania Milk team playing the McFarland printers in a contest that will have a big bearing on that circuit championship also.

The game will be called at the usual time, 5.30 vlUwni LEGION TEAM WINS OVER WEST TYRONE Tyrone, July 25. American Legion defeated West Tyroneln a well played game at the Athletic Field last evening score 5 to 2. Alex Hold en, Legion shortstop, was the batting star of the game, with a triple and a homer in two times up. West Tyrone made the 'only triple play to be made on the local field. With three Legion runners on base, Davis, short a line drive out over shorty Fields, West Tyrone, short stop, raced back, speared the ball with his gloved hand, then to second and got a man.

The ball was then thrown to first to complete the triple play. The crowd was the largest of the season. HISS WILLS WINS Rye, July 25. Miss Helen Wills, of Berkeley, easily defeated Miss Ceres Baker in her third round match In th New York State Women's tennis championship on the courts of the Westchester BUtmore Country Club. In straight sets, 6 2, 6 2, the Pacific Coast girl snapped through the match with speedy drives and a terrific net stuck.

FAVORITES WIN LN BIG TOURNEY Harrisburg's Lone Entry, Phil Brown, Is Eliminated; Stars Come Through Harrisburg's surviving entry in the Pennsylvania's boys' championship tennis tourney being held on the Cynwyd courts, Philadelphia, this week was eliminated from competition yesterday.

The entry, Philip Brown, Harrisburg Academy net star, lost to Robert Smith, of Lancaster, 6 3. 4 6 and 6 2. Brown could not get started right and was worried by the slippery condition of the courts, Intermittent showers having fallen during the morning while Smith played his usual steady game. The Harrisburg youth was a favorite for the semifinals at least and his defeat was a big surprise to his many followers. All the favorites won their second round matches in the Middle States Championship.

Wallace Johnson, Pennsylvania State champion and Dr. Hawk, the National Veterans champion, won easily, defeating S. Pen nock 6 1, 6 2, 6 2 and O. Kerrigan 6 0, 6 2, both of Cynwyd, respec.tive nut carl Fischer, the defending titleholder, had a terriflo three set battle before comlnar throusrh asrainst Von Mauer, of Scranton, and a new member of the Cynwyd Club, iu 8, 6, 6 4. Custer Surprises The other remaining seeded play ers, Dornheim, Ksllng and Leonards, triumphed.

With the above favorites remaining In the tournament it was left for Harold Custer, a southpaw of the local club, to surprise the gallery by eliminating Ted Edwards, of Merion, who was thought to be a sure seminnalist. No doubt the eccentric twists of the left hander upset the none too steady Merlon star, for he won the first set without a great deal of effort, 6 3. CLINTON CLUB TO ALLOW PRIVILEGES FOR RAILROAD MEET Lock Haven, July 25. The board of directors of the Clinton Country Club has granted the committee of businessmen in charge of the arrangements for the regional Pennsylvania railroad track and field meet to be held here on August 18, the privilege of using the club errounds for the golf and tennis con tests and the swimming facilities at the club boathouse.

In the first game, Normal won In the sixth, when Grba con nected for a double, followed by a rIticIp from Enlev and Luse's slash ing double to deep center, which tallied Grba and Epley.

In the ninth, Normal added two more runs when Luse drew a pass, Hoerner douDied to left and Rice tripled to deep center scoring Luse and Hoerner. Kane opposed Sharadln in the opening game and twirled masterly throughout. His support was somewhat chaotic at times which enabled the visi tors to take advantage at times when they paved the way for a run. Normal executed a pair of rapid fire double plays. In the second game for the Normal opposed the Blglerville A.

C. on the latter's diamond before a record crowd. Raffy opposed Sharadln on the mound and this contest terminated into a pitching duel for nine rounds. Blglerville won in the second round, when Knouse was safe on an error at second. Oyler followed with a single.

Slaybaugh filed to center, C. Raffy was passed, Ulrich filed to short center and Bringman tried a bunt along first base which the umpires declared fair although Normal objected strenuously on tne basis that the ball rolled on to foul territory. Knouse and Oyler tallied on the play. C. Raffy was caught napping at third base a few seconds later.

The first pair to tee off were two physicians, Dr. E. Fox and Dr. H. H.

Players from the two Harrisburg clubs, the Colonial Country Club and the Harrisburg Country Club, teed off for the elgh teen hole test shortly before noon. Although weather conditions early to day were not so favorable, indications point 'to a number of extremely low scores. The course is in the right condition.

The fairways, without exception, are baked and fast, while the greens are soft and in perfect condition. Taken together with the fact that practically all of the leading players from the different clubs in the association are entered in the tournament, the indications of a low medal card is more assured than usually. Consequently, the competitions for places in the first sixteen is expected to be extremely keen. Colonial Contenders According to thfi ffenfirnl rinnA rn the tournament, the Colonial Coun try ciuD will have more players In the championship sixteen than any other club. Included among the players so picked are Howard Perry, Samuel Nissley and Charles Zimmerman.
