Jockey Byrne's Horsemanship Wins Myrtle in Second Place Again Rider "Lifts" Tired Whimsy Into a Victory Kingfisher Furnishes a Sur? prise for Closing Day at Aqueduct By W. J. Macbeth The rido of Jockey G. Byrne, which alone wai responsible for the victory of the Cleveland Stable's Whimsy, in the Myrtle Selling Stakes, at a milc the feature of the closing day of the Aqueduct summer about the only thrill get-away day furnished its congested patronage. Because of the necessitated transfer of horses to the Empire City racetrack, near Yonkers, which will throw open its gates to a seventeen meeting this afternoon, it was not.

to be expected that the closiag events would prove up to th-at hitrh standard of excellence which had prevailed throughout the very success? ful meet of the Queens County Jockey Ciub. But getting back to Byrne and the Myrtle Selling Stakes. He won with a horse that was dead on his feet throughout tho last sixteenth. He made that tired horse outgame a blown though fresher rival through that psychological stage of the journey which usually decides every racing ar? gument. Milkman, of the Potomac Sta? ble, hit the stretch a length and half ahead of his field with Whimsy' and lighting head to for the honor of challenging.

Whimsy finally drew Damrosch's cork and went out after the pacemaker. Under Byrne's clever ride Whimsy crept inc! by inch, but was still apparently beatei when the two struck the final sixteenth Then Byrne appeared to pick hi mount right up into his arms and ear ried his home. It was not until fifty feet of the finish that he succeede? in getting Whimsy up to Milkman. The latter, collared, was easily ou; gamed. He hung right at the end.

Hand Have a Laugh The expert handicappers had a good laugh at the expense of the layers at the conclusion of the third race. This was over a long mile and five sixteenths. When it was. found Little Nearer had been scratched the mathe? maticians figured Kinirlisher, of Mar rone Stable, a moral certainty. Imagine their astonishment when they went into the rang and found Kingfisher I quoted at odds of as good as 4 and 5 to 1.

The wise ones figured, of course. that the false odds were laid against Wfikoff, an unknown rider, rather than against a good horse, and they took a chance- on the horse winning despite the boy. After the race they fourni out that the layers thought they had un i ace in the hole. Kingfisher had run away for three miles in the morning. Kingfisher, however, might have run i away for five miles while he was at it altd still have beaten his opposition.

He moved up very fast after turning ior home, passed Little Cottajre at the eighth pole and won just about a3 he pleased. The route was too long for Past Master, which was crowded away out to a lead of a dozen lengths in the first half and which set a fast pace for the first mile. of Spades Wins Easily The fifth race, at a mile, proved a rather easy trial for Jack of Spades, which responded gamely for Robinson in the last quarter and drew away to an easy victory over African Arrow. Woodthrush might have given the fa? vorite a battle for the honors if the Wilson colt had not been crowded back and bumped about at the start. Wood thrush was running strong at the end.

Fairbrother won the closing race, at six furlongs, with W. R. Coe's Sweep On. It was just an exercise gallop for the odds-on favorite. Though never extended, this good colt stepped the distance in the commendable time of 1:12 3-5.

Sweep On has shown marked improvement in each succeeding start and will bear watching from now on. Crank showed what he could do with a good boy in the saddle when he gal? loped home to an easy victory in the six-furlong handicap, second on the day's card. Buxton won just about as be pleased with the gelding. Star Mas? ter made too early a run to retrieve a slow start and had nothing left for the pinch. Tumbler, the favorite, quit in the last quarter.

Rhine Maiden, which was almost left at the post, mude a gallant run through the stretch, and might, indeed, have won with an even break. Favorite Takes Opener Chasseur, the favorite, won the open? ing dash of five furlongs, despite an unfavorable post position among a field of thirteen. Rice brought the colt home with a great rush, and won going away. The Westchester Racing Association announces that the Futurity will be run at Belmont Park on September 14 next. The estimated gross value of this stake is $35,000.

A heavy play was made on Barry Shannon in the fourth race. Walls, who had the mount, seemed as anxious as Barry Shannon's backers to get home in front. Once he broke through the barrier a sixteenth or more. The popular jockey, Jimmy Butwell, will bo seen in silks throughout the Saratoga meeting. lie has been en? gaged to ride for Wilfred Viau, who owns such good ones as Omar Khayyam and Westy Hogan.

Butwell has secured a leave of absence from Camp Meade for the month of August. Duke Kahanamoku Breaks 60-Yard Swim Record CHICAGO, July 12. Duke Kahana? moku, Hawaiian swimmer, to-day made a new record at sixty yards in the Chi? cago Athletic Association tank meet, covering the distance, with the crawl stroke, in 25 1-5 seconds.

Hugmen Neatly Turn Tables on the Indians Mogridge Leads Murderers' Row to Lop-Sided Victory By Charles A. Taylor Leo Kohl having run out of Coveles kios lor the moment, Miller Huggins and his Yankees delighted some live thousand fans to the pleasing spectacle of an upward march in that brainstorm of a struggle for premier honors which the American League has developed. George Mogridge, the rescuer extraor? dinary of Hugmen, stopped the route before Murderers' Row and led his aspiring tribo back into second place with a neat turned pitching ef? fort. The score was to 1 and the victory switched positions of the clubs so that the mad scramble will continue with all its customary eclat under the shadows of Coogan's Bluff this after? noon.

The goofl southpaw. Mogridge, dropped into a soft spot for yester? day's trial, though he did not know it i it (he time. It doesn't look so soft to the general run of pitchers when he is slated to cross swords with such a slabster as Guy Morton. That fellow is tough enough Cor anybody, and in his young and brilliant career has been especially tough for the Yankees. But they were mud enough yesterday to make anybody take to the tall and un- They hit in their accustomed, u'ious style, and if they had not been Itiite so frenzied in their base running rdor goodness only knows how lop the score might have been.

Mr. Mogridge, who manipulates the pheroid most manfully when he is ight, was right yesterday afternoon. On occasion Mr. Mogridge varies his nethod of propelling the baseball. Sometimes he propels it with his goodlj ish, and generally when in such fashion in psychological occasion.

Such, at east, was the happy fact yesterday ifternoon, For Mogridge delivered a hree-base knock yesterday afternoon i three-base knock that led to a run. i'his run did not win the game. But it to the tally that put the clincher on it. Caldwell Steajs a Base Mr. Mogridge had some able assist? ants in the line of swat.

There was Slim Kay Caldwell, a flinger of parts, who is now attempting to emulate th? prowess of Outfielder Smoky Joe Wood The rakish Yankee cavorted in the mid pasture without in the least suggesting any travesty on the work of Tristan-. Speaker and sheared a few flies to boot He got a blow that helped sew up the game and stole a rare Yankee accomplishment. Tris Speaker got the first hit off Mo? gridge with two gono in the first, but nothing came of it, as Roth forced him. The Indians finally broke out to the front with a run in the second. Wamby led oft' with a fancy double to right, and Joe Wood's sacrifice, sent him to On a squeeze play Evans bunted safely for the run.

A moment later Evans was doubled with O'Neill, when the lat- ter hit to Peckinpaugh. That was the first and the last ot Cleveland's scoring. Mogridge allowed the Naps only five hits thereafter, and he was as steady as a clock in all other I respects. Indeed, one of these hits was i a jolt by Speaker hit Chapman, who had singled in the third, with two out. A hit that retires' the side is no punishment, even for Mogridge.

In the fourth and fifth the visitors went out in order. There were two out in the sixth, when Speaker and Roth bunched singles. But the single of Roth was the ruination of Tris, as Miller pegged him out attempting to negotiate third from first base. Grane singled in the eighth, but again only after two hands had been discharged. Yankees Nibble Meanwhile the Ynnkees had been "nibbling" a bit on their own account.

They didn't get very far in the first two innings, though Peck hit, with only one out, as early as the opener. lie died stealing after Baker had lined out. Nobody got on for Huggins in the sec? ond. Llmer Miller, however, who was a hero offensively and defensively if ever there was one, put Morton in dire dis? tress by prying loose the third round with a safety to left. Truck Hannah hit to the same snot, and Miller sprint? ed to third.

Mogridge forced Hannah, Miller holding third, but Gilhooley on the "squeeze" laid down a pretty sacri- fice that registered Miller with the ty? ing run. The Yankees sewed it up in the fifth. But for hard luck and somewhat faulty br.se running they might have made: half a dozen instead of a brace of counts. After Caldwell fanned, Miller beat an infield tap. Hannah's drive bounded falsely to Wamby for a scratch single, but Miller accidentally collided with the fielder after the ball had got past and was called out for in- terference.

Battery Error Helps Yankees Mogridge's third strike was a passed ball. On the battery error Hannah took second and Mogridge reached first. Gil hooley walked, tilling the bases. Peck? inpaugh singled to left, scoring Hannah and Mogridge, but Gilhooley was trapped off second and retired, Graney to Evans to Chapman to Evans. Two more came for the Yankees in I the sixth, and after two wore out I ipp doubled and scored on Caldwell's single.

Slim stole second, and when Evans threw high Caldwell was able to cross the plate. Mogridge helped him? self to the last run. He opened the seventh with a triple to left centre. Gilhooley beat an infield single, but: Mogridge took no chances with his! wind, lie waited for Peck's long fly to Graney, that registered him in a walk, a fly so far driven that Gilhooley was able to breeze from first to second after the catcji. Baker's long fly to Wood put Gilhooley on third, but Pratt lined to Speaker.

Champions in Brilliant Battle at Terrace Club By Fred Hawthorne Tliat pair of sixteen-year-old tennis playing marvels, Cecil Donaldson and Frank T.

Anderson, of Brooklyn, won the junior metropolitan doubles lawn tennis championship yesterday jifter noon on the clay courts of the Terrace Club, of Flatbush, by defeating Harold Taylor and Gerald B. Emerson, the 1 playing through champions, in the final round by a score of i It was the brilliant, steady playing! I of little Donaldson that was the feat- I urc of the match. When Anderson; faltered seveial times in the heat of battle Donaldson was always there with the winning shot, and from first! tc last the burden of responsibility i rested upon his young shoulders. That' he was able to come through the or-. deal successfully speaks volumes for his courage under lire and the sound- ness of his game.

It should not be gathered from these remarks that young Anderson was so erratic as to be a weak partner for) Cecil. On the contrary, the youthful Long Island and North Side champion was the most brilliant player on the court and some of his shots were daz- but there were times when he i made errors in his anxiety to score on "kills," and it was in just these situations that Donaldson proved his worth. Taylor, who left a sick bed to de? fend his title, was also prone to err on too many occasions, and, although on service alone he outshone the other three, his errors overhead were so numerous as, to bo a deciding factor in the defeat that came to his side. Kven so, he was a stronger player yes? terday than Emerson, who seemed un? able to control his dynamic strokes for any sustained period. Boys' Playing a Revelation The continual hard hitting, the forceful driving and the sharp, spirit? ed volleying duels at the net were a revelation to those who sat about the courts and who have not kept watch on the remarkable strides made by the junior players within tue last year, ft is not often that lawn tennis doubles between adult ranking players outside of the "first ten" brings forth such clever work with the racquet.

Taylor began the service, followed in order by Anderson, Emerson and Donaldson, and the first game went to the champions. Anderson won his own service, Emerson his and Donald? son also, and so they alternated up to before the first break came. Anderson and his partner broke through Emerson's delivery the seventh game, largely owing to the terrific, driving of Donaldson, who ripped fore- i hand drives across the ccurt to the corners of deep court, the ball taking; a sharp drop as it cleared the barrier. Sweeping straight ahead, Donaldson1 and his partner won the next two, games and the first set at Anderson began the service in the! second set and won his tame, Some of his shots at this stage of the match, spectacular as he rushed the net to bring oif beautiful low volleys! to the corners. Emerson was begin- ning to smash easy shots into the net i as he tried to "kill" the ball, but he' made amends by the scorching place? ment drives down the centre of the court, and Taylor backed him up well with the sharpest of volleying shots.

The champions led at on games, but then the challengers for the title i came through with an unbeatable burst of speed and took the last three i cames in a row for the second set ati I Trailing at two sets to none, Taylor! The Point Score FIRST SET Donaldson and Anderson Points Games 163 4 24456.35 6 Taylor and Emerson? 4 4 5 1 4 2 2 ,3 4.29 3 SECOND SET Donaldson and Anderson? 4 1 4 4 4 1 5 4 4 4. 35 Taylor and Emerson 2462247 111..30 THIRD SET Donaldson and Anderson 4343245 156..37 Taylor and Emerson 25 1542343 4.. 33 and Emerson showed no signs of weak- ening, and the tide of battle swayed back and forth until the games score; reached Donaldson was playing the game of his life, not only smashing with surprising power when Taylor and Emerson sought to drive him back from the net by deep loboing, but also changing pace so deftly as to bewilder the opposing pair more than once.

Empire City Race Meeting Opens TVday The scene of horse racing over tracks in the Metropolitan district will shift to-day to the spacious Empire City racetrack, just outside Yonkers. In spite of the lack of rolling stock to transport the thoroughbreds at the tracks on Long Island fields carded in the opening races are rather large.

However, there is a disappointing en, try in the feature race, the Empire City Handicap, for three-year-olds and up? ward, over the one mile and a furlong route. Only four have, been named to go in quest of this rich prize, which has a guarantee of $5,000. Iloamer has been assigned top weight of 128 pounds, and if the moving of the gelding from Aqueduct to Empire has not hurt him he should have little trouble in win? ning. Although an aged horse, Iloamer has displayed more speed than many younger thoroughbreds in the many prominent races he has run recently, and he seems to be better the longer the distance. Spur will pack 1 Hi pounds.

who has run weil on occa? sions, is third choice, with 114 pounds. Ticket completes the field with 110 pounds. Another feature race on the pro? gramme is the Frivolity Stakes, a sell- ing affair for two-year-olds, with a value of $2,000. As in the case of the Empire City Handicap, the entries number only four horses, none of which rank with the best two-year-olds. of the East.

The field comprises Blair gowrie, Sundial The Boy and This tledo'n, with the first named, although! carrying top weight of 108 pounds, con? ceding only four pounds to Thistledon and Sundial L'd, and one pound to The Boy. Unusual as it may seem, more com-' petition is expected in the four other races scheduled. Flags will come out of retirement to oppose a big field in the second race at six furlongs, with Assume, Ima Frank, Star Gazer and Orestes as dangerous cont.emlers. In I the first race fourteen horses are en-; tered, the fifth lias nine and the sixth, which is a maiden, contains fourteen possible starters.
