NI2W TOItK. .Tunc 24. With tho Brook
lyn Handlcnp ns tho feature, tho Qilcons
County Jockey Club will open Itn summer
meeting at tho Aqueduct course thla after
noon. Fifteen days of racing will bo held
during the meeting.
Tho Brooklyn Handicap ban furnished
many sencntlonat contests since Its incep
tion in 1S87, when it was won by Dry
Monopolc, and thero is every reason to be
lieve that today's cyont will equal. If not
surpass, many that have been held In the
past. AVIth thoroughbreds of tho type of
Hoatner, Friar Hock, Shortgrass, Sand
marsh and others, tho event ls sure to re
sult In a contest of both speed nnd courage.
That Roamer la ready Is shown by his
trials at Aqueduct on Thurnday, when ho
worked In 1:53. Shortgrass Ih trained to
tho hour nnd will be fnvored by many who
saw his splendid effort at tho close of tho
Long Hcnch Handicap on "Wednesday, when
ho Just failed to ovcrtnko Ttoly. Sandmarsh
must pick up n five-pound penalty for win
ning since tho publication of the Brooklyn
wclghta, but the way he ran In tho 1'au
monnlc nnd Kxcclslor Handicaps Indicate
to many thnt, even with the ndded Impost,
his chances today aro exccllont.
Since he Is n horso that takes tho track,
there should bo a merry duel when he and
Boamor sprint for the lead. Such tactics
will favor Friar Hock and Shortgrass. both
of whom want n fast pace, and It la posslblo
that both tho carrier of topwolght nnd tho
son of Sandrlngham may bo beaten by the
first pair.
Borrow nnd Pennnnt, winner of tho 1913
Futurity, will bear the Whitney colon.
Both aro stnrtlng In this part of tho country
for the first time. nnd. according to Trainer
James Bowe, nrc ln tho best of condition.
While thero nro D7 cllglblcs, there Is no
doubt that at least ten will faco tho starter.
Another fenturo of tho opening at Aque
duct will be the 26th running of the Hud
son Stake, an event for 2-year-olds, which
has a cash prizo of $2,100. Thla race Is
over a flvc-furlong course, and hns been
won by somo of tho most prominent
youngsters In this division, Last year
James Butler's Paddy Whack annexed the
Make. August Belmont's Trap Rock also
has the event to his credit.
Slnco thero Is a flne timber courso at
Aqueduct, steeplechaslng will be resumed,
and tho second raco on tho program Is a
selling affair for jumpera.

MATCH AT WILMINGTON
WILMINGTON. Del., Juno 24 J. J.
Armstrong, Morion, won tho right to chal
lenge Qoorge M. Church, tho present title
holder, for tho Dolaware State tonnla cham
pionship yesterday by winning from XV. T.
Tlldon, 2d, of Cynwyd, bv default.
Armstrong met Church In tho challenge
round early this afternoon.
Tho default was forcod when the seta
stood two all, through n strnlped ligament
which has bothored Tilden since tho match
yesterday with Craig BIddle. The pnln bc
camo so acute during tho fourth set that In
tho last two gnmes Tilden occupied the
position of backstop for his opponent's
placements, Armstrong. In n very sports
manlike manner, gave his suffering oppo
nent tlmo to get the offending leg In shape
for tho .deciding BOt. A trip to the club
house and an attempt to get Tilden In con
dition was made. Tho attempt was un
successful, however; after three points had
been played in the first ganio the Cynwyd
man was forced to give up the light, as ho
was almost unable to stand without support,
much less play tennis. Albert Hosklns. tho
umpire, then awarded the match to Arm
strong. It waB a disastrous ending to a vory
brilliant match. Tho largo gallery wbb
thrilled tlmo and again by tho spectacular
shots of both contestants.
Tilden started ln with a rush and slammed
his way through tho first Bet, winning 6-1.
Armstrong won thesccond set, 8-6. Tlldon
triumphed In the third set, 6-1, but was
forced to retire with tho scoro four all In
the fourth net.

TURKU Is no Joy In Jet coy.
Somewhere the sun Is ahlnlng, pome
whero the people shout, but not In the sca
shore cities, for tho mighty Wood is out.
Golf Wizard for n day, If. Wellington
Wood, southpaw cyclone of tho salty sanil"
nf Atlantic City, tore up tho going In thf
medal round of tho tourney nt Wilmington
which ends today. He dii22led tho gallery
and ho petrified tho entrants when ho burst
In tho lead ahead of Ned Sawyer, conqueror
of "Chick" Evntia, famous fonnor flnnllrt
In the national and cx-Wcstcrn champtoti,
ahead of Dougla.i Corkran, a favorlloj
Franklin Dyer nnd a Hock of other golf
experts.
First, ho handed In n card of 79 nnd then
flabbergasted nil tho gathering by coming
back for an afternoon round of 78. Hit
feat wns all tho more romnrkablo in that
he played with a golfer who turned tho
courso In both rounds nt 00-odd. Tho Wil
mington courso would stem to present aH
many difficulties, if not moro, to n left,
handed golfer ns a right-hander, hut the
Jersey Juggernaut never faltered. Ho said
ho played tho best golf of his career.
And hundreds of fans in tho mosquito
State, from which plays II. Wellington
Wood, had hope.
For the portsldo phenom plays like an
eagle set free when ho Is on his game, heel
nnd toe,
"Wo havo seen him in the ccstacles of a
"perfect day." A drlvo ho mado at North
Hllla was among the longest wo have seen.
The Sun and Then the Storm
Tho pet saying of Daddy Dope for yean
and years has been that a good golf day
followed by a bad ono. It worked with a
vengeanco ngalnst II. Wellington Wood.
His decline and fall was crashter than
that of Rome.
Ho was beaten In tho first tee-oft by
youthful Norman Maxwell, Aronlmlnk, to
the tunc of 7 and S. He wan then ouBtcd
by a wide score in tho first round of the
beaten eights by W. W. Turner, Spring
haven, who wns badly beaten ln the morn
ing. Tho whole experience of the Jersey crack
ln tho tourney Is ono of tho most remark
able of tho season's play. Such an Incident
Is one of tho many things that make golf
the wonderful game It ls. Ono day a golfer
plays tho game of his life, ond the next
lie can pcarccly Beo the ball.
Wood Is likely to pull a surprise In tho
Philadelphia championship next week, as
ho Is going at a swifter paco than last year.
He Is strong with his wood nnd accurate
with his Irons.
Whistles Swan Song
Tho drawing In match play worked out
perfectly at Wilmington. Corkran nnd Saw
yer were headed for ench other from tho
start. If nothing went wrong, and the gal
lery hns been waiting for tho clash. Saw
yer went to tho semifinals when ho ousted
C. C. Hlghloy, tho Princeton star, after n
rather dlltlcult mntch. Both players had
trouhlo In getting going, and It wns rather
a spasmodic affair.
Hlghley took his defeat In tho most
cheerful manner. In the dying moments
of the match ho took to whistling a few
strains of tho "Egyptian Death JIarch,"
with bars of other dlrgea thrown in.
Ho took the most pleasure In whistling
Just after a Bhot that didn't spin Just ns he
had planned. After ho had the whlstlo off
his mind ho usually made a good shot
Sawyer made his first good putt on the
12th when he Bank a lengthy one for n bird
3. Up to that time he had used his two
putts on every grocn, and ofttlmes used up
throe. Ho missed sevornl that didn't look
very hard, and reminded ono strongly of
hl.i greatest rival In golf, "Chick" Evans.
Sawyer Is not so long with his wood,
but can depend almost as much as Evans
on his Irons. Ho squared the match at tho
fourth when ho laid an Iron right up to
tho fing, after Hlghloy had fallen down on
a slmllnr shot.
Sawyer rather enjoyed tho match after a
bit, and when he wns 3 up nt the llth, tried
to give tho gallery a run for Its patience.
He lay behind a neck of the woods on his
drive and tried ti 100-yard pitch over the
lofty trees to land tho green.
Tho ball started.
It may be at sea by this time, or wher
ever the little brook carried it that flows
betwixt the trees. The ball was lost and
Sawyer lost a holo.
He gouged his ball out of a trap on the
next hole for n half when It looked as
though Hlghley hod the hole on lea and
would only bo ono down.
