consider him tho equal of the Mathowson

"When Matty was right it was almost
impossible to beat him, and ho had a

always has cumo through. You don't seo
any of tho men who havo over boen with

wait until It starts winning. Tho public

nnd ho will vindicate you."
McGraw agrees thoroughly with Man
ager Mack that tho ball players of to

Ho says tho spirit of other days Is lack

MEREDITH CLASHES
WITH ROY CAMPBELL
World's Record Likely to Be
Smashed in Millrose Meet
Today.
A now record is almostcortaln to grace
the books after the special 660-yard race
Is run at tho gomes of tho Millrose Ath
letic Association at Cettto Park, Long
Island, this afternoon.
Ted Meredith, world's champion middle
distance runner; Roy Campbell, cham
pion of tho West, nnd Joo Hlgglns. of
Holy Cross, winner of the 880 trial at
Harvard recently, will too the mark In
what Ib predicted to bo the most sensa
tional raco in years.
Cnmpbell ran the anchor relay for Chi
cago In tho two-mile championship at
the Penn relays In April, and, after mak
Ing up considerable distance, m ssed
catching McKenile, running for Prince
ton, by the narrowest of margins, ine
Tiger runner dove for the tape, else
Campbell would havo nosed him out.
Campbell fotlowed up this sensational
raco by a still more thrilling one at the
Western Conference games In June, on
this occasion he not only won the West
ern college championship, but covered tho
half mile in 1 minute C33-B seconds, which
Is Just one-flfth of a second more than
the American record for the distance, held
Jointly by Dave Caldwell, of Cornell, and
Charley Ktlpatrlck. the old International
half-mile champion. ,..
Campbell will meet today the greatest
half-mtlo runner that ever trod on Amer
ican trade. Td Meredith, though he may
not be t his very best In tho Millrose
race, will be Just as effective because of
the fact that the distance will be a bit
more to bis liking than Campbell s.

WOMEN GOLFERS TOO FLURRIED
IN MIXED MATCHES, SAYS VARDON
British Champion Declares Women's Chief .Fault, in Addition to
Nervousness, Is in Wrist Turning Regards Miss Cecil
Leitch Best IPoMtcm Golfer in the World.
By HARRY
Oolf Champion of
It Is good to know that, oven In this
period of Btress, British golf has not beon
entirely unrepresented on American links.
It Is now a matter
of history that Miss
Vera Ramsay, of
L o a t h o r h o a d.

crossed to the States
on tho Lusltanla on

Association until

IIAItRY VARDON. success Bomchow
makes me feel all tho moro acutely my
own disappointment at .having had to
glvo up a tour on which I had set my
heart.
Howover, domestic considerations must
command respect whero it is not Impera
tive duty that calls a man away. As one
of our proposed party romarked, he had
had "submarines for breakfast, subma
rines for lunch, submarines for tea and
submarines for dinner." When ho an
nounced In his homo that ho intended to
go to America and tho very vessel on
which ho hnd booked his passage was
sent to the bottom of the sea, the situa
tion can bo readily Imagined. Not being
eligible for war eorvlco, I had made up
my mind for one moro visit to tho States
In all probability tho last. I hopo It
may be possiblo next season.
Mention f women's golf reminds me of
a subject on which I feel strongly. It Is
that the standard of piny among them
Is considerably underestimated In most
places where mon golfers congregate. It
Is often discussed In n spirit which Indi
cates that the speakers regard It ns a
rather poor imitation of the real thing. I
can only imagine that they havo never
had an opportunity of watching the best
women Bolfers. I confess that I havo
been surprised many times by the excel
lence of their Bhots, and. considering that
thoy are handicapped In the matter of
physique, the quality of their golf seems
to me to be remarkably high.
WHEN WOMEN WOULD BEAT MEN
If a long series of matches wero held
between prominent men amateurs and
equally distinguished women players, with
the latter receiving n half. I believe that
the men would be beaten. So far as I
have been able to Judge, th s applies as
much to America as to Britain. With,
say. Mrs. A. Jackson, the woman cham
pion, and Mr. Francis Oulmet, the nma
taur champion, showing something Ilka
their correct respective powerB In a con
est of 36 "oles. I doubt whether the man
could concede a half. To be b ur., n ne
atrokes are a good many to give; but I
am assuming now that tho match would
fake place on a well-bunkered and full,
engtti course of 6000 yards or more, where
physique alone would tell heavily. The

qucrnblo habit of arching the wrists In
tho same way ns when striking tha kcyB
of the Instrument In question that la to
say, bonding tho wrists In hucIi a way
that thoy nro looking up to tho colling or
tho sky. This Is precisely whnt women
do In a very great number of Instances on
tho links.
Ono of tho most Important principles of
tho golf swing (It Is not fnr from being
tho chief) Is to turn tho loft wrist gently
toward tho body at tho beginning of tho
swing; unless this bo dono the wrist In
question will be bent outward at tho top
of tho swing, and then the club will bo
In a hopeless position for a straight shot.
The left wrist absolutely must bo disposed
under the shaft (not arched outward) nt
tho top, and It Is In this connection that
womon golforu exhibit their most pro
nounced weakness.
Their keennoss Is splendid; In Britain,
at any rato, I am sura that, takon as a
body, thoy nro much moro In earnest
about tho game than men. Often you
will find two men contesting a match In
a very easy-going frame of mind; but I
have never seon women so disposed. Even
though nothing tangible depends on the
result, they struggle for all they are
worth, and very seldom talk during the
round. Personally, I like to observo this
spirit; golf Is a serious game which Is
not worth while playing nt nil unless you
conoentrato the whole of your attention
upon it.
Proof of tho keenness of women Is to
be found In the zeal with which they ar
range and contest Interteam matches.
These events nro almost dead In Britain
so far as men nre concerned, but they
nre fast Increasing In Interest and Im
portance among women (or wero doing so
until the war started) and there Is tre
mendous rivalry for places In the county
teams.
THE BEST WOMAN GOLFER.
Tho best woman golfer I havo ever
seen Is Miss Cecil Leitch. Somo year
ago an allowance of a half proved sufll
clent to enable her to beat Mr. H. H.
Hilton, and I think that on similar han
dicap terms she would win three timer
out of four against any prominent amo,
teur of the malo persuasion.
She and Miss Gladys Ravenscroft hav
an advantage over most members of their
sex In the circumstance that they are
very long drivers; I saw tho match be
tween Miss Leitch and Mr. Hilton and
could not help being Impressed by tho
frequency with which she drove almost
as far as her opponent. Equally note
worthy about Miss Leltch's play Is her
power of recovering from difficulties; she
hits shots from long grass and other un
pleasant places with a measure of skill
and strength that few people could hopo
to excel. At ono tlmo her Iron shots
were not quite right, nnd I meant to toll
her that sho would Improve three strokes
a round If she altered her swing with tho
Iron. But apparently she had discovered
the point for herself, for when next I
watched her play there was nothing
wrong with the Iron shots.
Her sister. Miss May Leitch, who Is
left-handed, would be quite as good If
only she would practice a little. Some
times she does not touch a club for a
month or two, and yet she Is always at
scratch and breaking records.
As putters, women are on occasion al
most uncanny Jn their excellence, espe
cially when they attain a condition of
nervous tension which Is evolved so often
In the critical stage of a championship.
Then Is the time to see what the fair sex
can do on the green; the frequency with
which the holing of a long putt by one
player Is followed by a similar feat on
the part of an opponent who Is fighting
for a half seizes the Imagination.
There Is a wonderful determination
about women which quells their nerves.
They make a man putt better. I was
playing a lady on my home course the
other day, and having beaten her many
times I confess that I tried to miss a putt
on the last green In order that the mateh
might finish all even. And the ball went
down, very much to my astonishment.
Perhaps that Is the beat way to hale a
long putt to try and miss It

George Chalmers Is scheduled to pitch

ho shows anything In warming up. Chal

tho first gnmo Wednesday but ho has
been Bllghtly off form during tho last

In case Chnlmers is not selected. Ers

In each.
Mnnnger Clarke will depend on George
McQuillan, tho former rhllly pitcher. Mc
Quillan has beon pitching good ball nnd
Clarke believes that ho will bo ablo to

AUTOMOBILE FACTORY MEN SEEK
A STANDARD SERVICE POLICY
Industry's Service Managers Plan to Remedy "Somethingfor
Nothing" Abuse "Prompt Attention at the Least
Possible Cost" Is the Chalmers Definition.
Service, that much-abused term In tha
automobile Industry, wits discussed nt a
recent convention ol tho service man
agers, with the Idea of formulating plans
to establish a standard service policy.
Following nre some pointers from tho ad
droees delivered by prominent men In
this department of tho Industry:
"A. standard servlco policy would btl a
printed backbono In tho hnnds of tho
dealer," Alfred Reeves, general manager
National Automobllo Chamber Of Com
merce. "Servloo does not mean gtvlng some
thing for nothing, It means giving prompt
attention nt the least possible cost." A,
Hnnson, Chalmers.
"Whether or not the manufacturers and
donlers get this servlco matter down to a
reasonable basis and hold It there will
largely govern their staying In tho bust
ncss," Alvan Macaulay, vioe president
nnd general manager Packard Motor Car
Company.
"Tho tlmo Is rlpo to acquaint the public
ns to what service should and would con
sist of." A B. Cumnor, Autocar.
"Tho hint of buying n new car often Is
tho bait which makes n dealer do moro
than he should for a cor owner." E. W.
Cotton, MoParlan,
"Four main points In dealers' servlco
are: Parts, repairs, supervised Instruc
tion regarding tho car nnd co-operation
with tho ownor." Charles Gould, Max
well. "Installing a vehicle proparly after the
Fnle Is a legitimate part of the service."
J B. Coy, Peerless.
" 'Lcavo It to me,' Is an overworked
phrnso used by salesmen who aro respon
sible for n. lot of servlco evil. They Im
ply a great many things that the dealer
Is Unablo to do free." W. H. Doddridge.

Most of tho leading games of tho world
are old games. Cricket, tennis, golf, polo
and others havo lived through the cen

The Return of F. Clarke
Ono of tho most Inspiring sights of the
season .Is tho return of Fred Clarke to the
Polite Society of tho gamo. Clarke, on a
long nvernge, has one of tho star man
agerial records of the sport. Ho has won
as high a percentage of games over a
five-year stretch ns either McGraw or
Mack a 12-year nverago above .800. A
leader of (his type doesn't deserve the
breaks Clarke has drawn In tho last two
years, so his recent uplift simply means a
return to normal efficiency.

Bush's Brilliant Game Against
St. Louis Cheers Fast-Improving
Mack Team.
ST. LOUIS, July 10. Rube Bresaler will
face the Browns n the second game ot
the series today, nnd Judging by the way
the big southpaw has performed In his
last four Btarts, Rickey's men nre likely
to havo their troubles again.
In tho tlrst game of Xhe series the Ath
letics looked like anything but a dis
organized, tall-end club. The 'Mackmen
played fust and brilliant ball In the
field, while Joe Bush pitched a beautiful
game, and would have registered a shut
out had It not been for a base on balls
to Shotten. which was followed by an
out, and Slsler'a single. This drive by
the former Michigan pitcher wa tho
first hit of the game for the Browns, and
they were ablo to gather only two more
In the entire game.
BUI James was selected to twirl tn
preference to Wellman, who will be sent
against the Athletics this afternoon. '.and
Bill pitched fine ball. A sacrifice fly by
Kopf sent home ono run for the Mack
men, while Schang's single drove In what
proved to bo the winning run.
Manager Rickey sent Slsler to left field
and It Is likely that he will be placed
thero permanently when the Browns'
pitching staff gets working right. For
the present Blsler will alternate between
pltohlng and left field,
