YREELAM). GifTord A. Cochran's Flying Heels lived up to his name ly winnins the 60th running of the historic Nursery Handicap, worth by half a length in clever fashion over the last six furlongs of the Wiaener course yesterday. At his Ridge Club Netmen Bow to Knickerbockers By winning two postponed doubles matches In a duel with the Ridge Club, the Knickerbocker Tennis Club yesterday gained second place in the Brooklyn League. Two victories last week gave the Knickerbockers a 4 0 victory.

Mell and Kendal defeated Adams and Piggens, 63, 3 fl, 8 4, and in the other match, Wilson and Standish subdued Oammlles and Boise, 108, 16, 61. Joe De Fina, captain of St. John's College, and Palmer divided two sets, 6 0, 57, before their match was halted by darkness. saddle girths was George D. Widener's Hi-Jack, which was a simitar distance in front of William Ziegler fast closing Gone Awav.

The time for the six furlongs was 1:11. It was a race in which the three top weights, Flying Heels, Hi-Jack and Gone Away, finished in front of their rivals. It was one of the best efforts of Walter S. Vosburgh this season. And yet, the patrons the minds of the spectators.

But when one thinks of the "its" and "ands" which one must attach to the running of High Strung it would be no more than fair to this sterling colt's great reputation to give him another chance before passing judgment. And this is the reason: Up to the time that High Strung started at Saratoga George Odom merely trained him for speed. He did this with a double purpose in view to mmmmm Despite the warm weather, the New York University football CAMPQLO BOUT TO GET Mil Victor May Also Box Max Schmeling for Humbert Fugazy During October. As a result of Boxing Commis sioner Muldoon's statement to Hum bert Fugazy at yesterday's meetlnj of the commission that in his opinion the winner of the Phil Scott-Victorio Campolo ten-round bout scheduled for Ebbcts Field next Wednesday night would he recognized as the "outstanding contender to fight for the heavyweight championship" Slgnor Fugazy is now con templating staging a bout between the winner of the above affair and Max Schmellng. Fugazy told The Eagle yesterday that Joe Jacobs, Schmellng's manager, had consented to such a match.

Schmeling is under suspension by the commission for refusal to fight Scott for Humbert but he has promised to change his mind and go through with a bout for Fugazy. Fugazy appeared at the commission offices and innocently suggested to the honorable body that they recognize the winner of the Scott-Campolo ruckus as the world's heavyweight champion. When everybody had finished laughing he waa told that Tommy Loughran had resigned his light-heavy title a few minutes before and had requested the commission to recognize the winner of the Sharkey-Loughran affair as the champion. This proposal had also been thrown out of the window. The Eagle learned yesterday thet the Scott-Campolo thing may not be held Sept.

11 as originally scheduled. Campolo has developed a cold and requires a doctor's tender attentions. If the doctor oraers Campolo to discontinue training the bout will be held Sept. 18 instead. Fugazy's press department went back to the files and for their latest publicity stunt picked out the old one of a fighter being of Jewish, descent.

A corps of genealogists hired by Fugazy have discovered that Phil Scott is of Jewish descent. This is the old "boloney," of course. Phil Bernstein and his entire stable of fighters were suspended by the commission for some Jobs done in Newark not so long ago. Izzy Schwartz, the flyweight champion, boxed one Willie La Morte, and lost his title. But our commission harshly suspects Bernstein of bcins the manager of both fighters.

William T. Tilden 2d and Miss Helen Wills are causing the American tennis world a good deal ot concern this summer. The concern is real only in the case of Mr. Tilden, for it happens to involve speculation upon who their successors are to be and Miss Wills took care of that momentous prob lem very adequately a short time ago at Forest Hills by sue; ceeding herself. In the case of Tilden, however, one wonders, in common with the several thousand others who will occupy the Stadium next week and the few million who play tennis throughout the land.

And "Bunny" would have to be on his game, which he seldom is, The give and take of a championship tournament is pressure plus. That of course works against an elderly Bill Tilden, too; but Bill, fortunately for himself, knows when to let down and when to take up, according to whom he must face There has been something made out of his absence In the East vs.

West lineup. Those remembering last year, when he was about to be cast into outer darkness, saw in Tilden's failure to appear on the Eastern team a small-town revenge. They overlooked what Is vastly more to the point, that Bill, instead of burning himself out, as heretofore, has been carefully husbanding his physical resources. The layoff after Longwood will give those aching legs a nice rest, Just the rest, perhaps, that might be needed to set them dancing over the green lawn once again in a macabre meas ure of celebration of the death, for 1929, of a good many young men's hopes. Betty Likely Successor To Present Net Queen.

The concern over Helen Wills and her successor is purely academic. Startling evidence of a revolt among some of her sisters against her lron- neeiea rule or tne courts appeared In the Wightman Cup matches, only to die blissfully out In the national championships. Experts concede that Betty Nut-hall, the beaming peaches and cream girl, with dimples, from England, has the game that is likely to prove poison eventually to "Little Poker Face." Meanwhile, Betty fell victim to Molla Mallory's established reputation of being able to put over one astonishing upset in a tournament before being herself eliminated. Betty came nearest to defeating Helen Wills in three years, when she carried her out to 86, 8 6, in their cup match. And those who saw that match know that It might Just as well have been 2220, 68 66, for Betty that day beat herself, each time in the 13th game, by having her 18-year-old heart Jump right out of her mouth from excitement, Sarah Palfrey Is Three Tears Away.

Helen, herself, has been quoted as nominating little Sarah Palfrey, the half-pint of Boston accent, as the crown princess. Sarah, however, has still some distance to go. She must, lor instance, bolster up a lamentably weak backhand. And how Helen Wills loves to pepper away at an opponent's blind side! Obviously, Sarah ia not to be a serious threat to Helen's reign for three of four years more. And the diplomats of tennis those shrewd second-guessers who read between the lines preier to see in Helen's reported statement that she thereby serves notice to a young and bouncing English girl called by all her friends "Nutty." mostly Dccause sne isn tnat "Little Poker Face," regardless of marriage plans, haa no intention of abdicating or surrendering her world title within the next three or four years In other words, Betty Nuthall is welcome to become the next queen of tennis.

All she has to do is beat Helen Wills. And that, yon will admit, Is a program of conquest that will clearly entitle Betty to preside over the lovely creatures of the net, If and when she can. 100TH ARMORY BOt'TS.

A's is be in I of the track thought Flying Heels, on the strength of his previous performances, was exceedingly well favored and made him the choice In the odds. Jack Campbell Blows Up." The Nursery Handicap had its Inaugural in 1866 at Jerome Park. In that year Francis Morris' Ruthless ith 97 pounds up stepped the mile distance over the old saddleback course, a course that twisted and turned around a big hill for nearly half its distance. Considering the historic nature of the handicap. It's strange that the Westchester Racing Association doesn't see fit to make it more valuable than it Is.

Four of the 12 colts named to start were withdrawn. Despite the fact that Flying Heels had been beaten in his last start, this at Empire City track, he was preferred over his opponents. The paddock sharps thought that he was "well in," with 119 pounds. Jack Campbell, which was dropping 10 pounds from what he carried when he won at 6aratoga, beating Gone Away at even weights, was second choice, Hi-Jack, consider-tng his last two races, which were excellent, was at the extreme odds of 10 to 1. Gone Away, which had finished second to Jack Campbell, as at 12 to 1 in the odds.

What About This "Manifest" Foul? For a half mile Jack Campbell! showed the way by open daylight. Up to that point he displayed great speed and appeared to have the race clinched. But in the last quarter of a mile he stopped badly and Flying Heels and Hi-Jack, which had been racing together, moved up to him, passed him a furlong from home and appeared to have the race sewed up between them. Then Gone Away, which had been racing in the middle of the bunch, shook off his opponents and challenged for the lead. He closed rapidly at the end, as he had at Saratoga, passed Jack Campbell and was overhauling the leaders, but the distance proved too short.

When Jack Campbell beat Gone Awav at Saratoga I told the readers of The Eagle, that the latter colt, on the outside, had crowded and interfered with all those that were on the inside positions. This enabled him to take the lead in the stretch and to win. Gone Away, badly Jammed, finished second. That victorv followed soon after the patrol Judges had put in their now famous "manifest" protest against The patrol Judges by their failure to report on the rough work of Jack Campbell "manifestly" were not on the Job. That Jack Campbell should have been disqualified at the Spa the victory of Gone Away over Jack Campbell at a difference of 10 pounds yesterday would clearly indicate.

The Nut Beats High Strung. High Strung was forced to lower his colors In the Hourless Purse, distance one mile and a furlong, the third race on the card. It was the second time in the career of thl3 chestnut colt, 3. by High Time-Emotion, that he was beaten. The Warm Stable The Nut, the brown colt, 3, by Mad Hatter Afternoon, that won at Saratoga, did the trick.

The Wheatley Stable's Hard Tack, heavllv backed, was badly beaten. For a mile High Strung with his head In the air showed the way. He stepped along at a fast clip, appar ent, without It beinn a strain on his heart, his lungs or his legs. And then when The Nut. which had been racing third well away from the earlv pace, closed with a well-timed rhnitniri rtim tn the excellent 1udg- ment of pace by Mack Garner, Kigh Strung stopned so suddenly mat; on t.h fare of it one would be inclined to sav that the prize winner of 1928 is not much better than a sprinter or a miler at best.

Billy Evans, with the assistance of Alva Bradley's bank roll and with the aid of his scouts, has made a good Job of the reconstruction of the American League Tribe.

Some one told me that Fearless Will, as Charles Dryden nicknamed him back In 1906 at the time of the pop bottle incident in St. Loui6, had gone high hat and that you had to introduced to him now, even if you did know him slightly or well. I am glad to be able to report that this story is a canard, says a writer Sporting News. William George is still affable, diplomatic and human. will be glad to read this winter Just what made the Indians step out and desert the second division Close observers of the pastime give Earl Averill a lot of credit for putting the Peckinpaugh Brigade on the up grade.

Closer observers say that what made the Indians move In the right direction, more than anything else, was the development of Pitcner Ferrell, brother of the catcher of the St. Louis Browns. Ferrell pitched down in that Shoe League in Massachusetts before be. coming a real pro, along with Rufus Smith and Haskell Billings. The Schusters, et al, of that league, must have a lot of money or real, good scouts.

Possibly thev have both. Anyhow, every exnert you see who has vlsioned Ferrell this year raves about nim. Importance of Size In Picking Players There have been many great little players and there have been many great big players. The scout who fa vors the big boys is rather robtut himself and he may be prejudiced in favor of beefy athletes. Connie Mack had only one mam moth in his regular lineup when he won his first pennant in the American League with the A's in 1K2 Ralph Scybold and Ralph's size didn't prevent his getting the air from Cincinnati three years before that.

Harry Davis was well nut up. but no giant; the same remark goes for Danny Murphy: Monte Cross was wiry; Dave Fultz was well set up; Lave Cross was Just medium in weight and height Topsy Hartscl was close to the midget class. Frank Chance's first pennant with the Cubs was procured with the assistance of two medium-sized athletesJohn Evers and Jlmmv Slagle. Both the Cubs and the Athletics have plenty of good-slsed men around this year, as Sporting News sites them up, the present style of ball In use lieMng not been any too good for the medium-sized performer.

Lawrence Realization Object of the Races. It was on the short sprint workouts that High Strung won his six-furlong dash in 10 4-5.

On top of that he was shipped to Belmont Park and hadn't any chance in the way of training to be "hoed down" to a condition whereby he was ready to go a mile and a furlong. As a matter of fact he would not have started over this distance save that Odom wished to give him a good tryout for the Lawrence Realization, the big feature of Saturday's card. And the distance of that race is one mile and five furlongs the severest test for three-year-olds this season up to that date. Had the Lawrence realization been two weeks off it's possible that High Strung would have been ready to go a mile and a furlong and that his training would have made him on edae for it. As it is now-with his collapse in the final furlong of the race yesterday a collapse due to unpreparedness, I believe, rather than to the colt himseu its not likely that he will start in the Lawrence Realization.

The race is too close at hand. But better wait and see bv another performance whether High Strung is merely a miler or up to, let us say, a mue ana a iurions at least. In the race yesterday High Strung was the favorite, with The Nut a close second choice and Hard Tack backed from 5 to 1 down to 16 to 5. Hard Tack chased High Strung for seven furlongs, with Garner keeping The Nut two lengths away from the son of Man o' War. In the stretch The Nut shook off Hard Tack, challenged and passed on to an easy victory.

Hard Tack was far back. The Nut was worked out an extra auarter. of a mile. Hard Tack was forced to travel the full mile and five furlongs of the Real! zatlon. R.

L. Gerry'i Sop of Comfort. The Nut's workout on top of his victory was impressive. In all of his races he has shown a disposition to go a long route. This is the colt that Harry Payne Whitney in the spring sold with Victorian and Cud- dv Hill to the warm stable xor $200,000.

Victorian broke down early in the season. The Nut is likely to go to the post favorite for the Lawrence Realization. While Naishapur did not show any great performance, still it was an improvement over his effort at Saratoga. The long distance of Saturday's event will heln him. For the first time in many days Willis Sharpe Gilmer's colors flashed home In front.

This was when Sun Blow romned off with the first race from a bunch of $5,000 and $6,000 Dlaters. Greyola just beat out Lamp Black for second money The failure of High Strung was a bitter disappointment to Robert L.

IBM Made the Douglas Way, Properly 'Seasoned' Means Enduring RDSLYN TO PLAY Meet in SemiFinal of 3pen Polo Tourney; No Tickets Are Needed.

By ARTHUR F. JONES JR. The most highly rated -polo team in the open championship tourney will roll out its thunder this afternoon on International Field at Meadowbrook against an outfit that Is considered the "dark horse" of the event. In other words, the 31 goal Hurricanes will take on the 26 goal Roslyn team In what Is eally a semi-final match, although neither side has been in action previously. The winner of this game qualifies to meet the winner of the Oreentree-Sands Point fray in the final on Sept.

14. No tickets are needed for the afternoon's game. On the strength of handicaps, tne Hurricanes look like winners. But that does not- say that Roslyn is going to be taken in easy man ner. It does not even mean mat me Hurricanes will come out on top.

The Hurricanes have not been go ing so well this season. Capt. C. T. I.

"Pat" Roark, the Irish Internationalist who plays at No. 2, has been playing in and out polo this season. One day he is a real cham- nion. and the next day ne is poor. Roark has always shown this tendency.

J. watson weoo, me ieit handed star who helped America to the International Trophy In 1921 1024 and 1927, is a dependable man, but he was badly Injured early In the season and has played only a few games since that time. A lot will depend upon Webb, and it is not certain that he is in the best con dition. The two ends of the team are also uncertain. Stephen "Laddie" San- ford is out at No.

1. Sanford has played some very good polo at times this summer, but even he is not up to the form that nearly put him on the "Big Four" last year. The other man. the back, Is Robert E. Straw- bridge Jr.

Bobby is one of the best defensive players in the game, when he is right. He has not been at his best In a long time. Certainly he is not up to his 1924 form when he played with the Big Four against tr.e ariusn. Cowdin Improves Roslyn. It will be seen that the Hurri canes are veterans who have ac compllshed quite a bit at polo, Roslyn, on the other hand.

Is with one exception composed of placers who have never scaled the heights of polo. That exception is J. Chee ver Cowdin. the International sub stitute of 1927 and 1928. Cowdin Is right on Ms game at the present moment.

I'laying at No. 3, he has exrellent opportunity to direct Roslyn In the right way. Cowdin is a powerriu Miter, and a good all- arouna player. At No. 1 on Roslyn Is Harold E.

Talbntt a six goal player. They say this man Is underrated. This would seem to be true, for he has played some remarkable polo all Mason and has figured prominently In practically every game In which he has engaged. They even say that ne is tne next international No. Whether or no that Is true is matter of conjecture.

He can be counted upon for some excellent polo. The other members of the team are somewhat less accustomed to fust polo of the open sort, but they certainly have ability. Gerald Balding played with the team that won the junior title last year and he packs a mean wallop. Balding will make an active No. 2 this afu-rnoon.

H. W. Williams Is at back, and even less Is known of him. But he Is regarded as a very good defensive man. May Get the Jump.

RoMvn may get the Jump In this today. lis policy will be to try to amuss a lead In the early chukkers that will last throughout the game. This is a sound method to use against any team like the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes arc-very good, but they sometimes get going rather slowly. As mentioned before, handicaps mean very little in this high-goal competition.

Ability to Cover Court Diminishing. Tlldcn's plight, if plight it might be called, consists mainly in weak ened shots oil his backhand. This is largely due to his diminishing ability to cover court.

Bill can still burn up the grass with that willowy, lanky and saturnine dance of death from which he has been accustomed to polish off points when points were needed to tuck away a rally. But after the middle of the third set, he tires rapidly. Obviously, the strategy of the youthful aspirants will be to force him into extra sets. He Is no longer a live-set siege gun. But pitted against him are mostly reckless, hard-stroking, hell-lcr-leather amateurs with a few good strokes, but on the whole a spotty game lacking in variety.

And witn all his foxiness, Bill has been able to pick out the hole in the defense across the net. Years of tournament experience have not been wasted upon him. And once he has opened up a weakness and begun to play tc it, his opposition among the new fry has caved in. Conceded Big Chance To Flare I'p Agiin.
