TENNIS, GOLF AND OTHER
LOOMIS SHOULD
PROVE GOOD CARD
IN SWEDISH MEET
Chicago AIl-Around Athlete
Will Make Big Hit, Be
lieves Meredith
JYILSON MAY MAKE TRIP
By TED MEREDITH
It has been decided definitely that Joe
jjoomls will go to Sweden with me. Loomls
),as sent his acceptance to Mr. Itublen. This
leaves only one other man to be chosen,
,nl thla man will bo 'a distance runner. I
(o not know who Mr. Itublen has asked to
make this trip, but I think that It will bo
either Jolo Itay, of Chicago, or Wilson, the
California mller, whom we saw here this
iprlnr at the Intcrcolleglates. Wilson has
run several better than 4:20 and would be
'i. good man for the team. I do not know
whether ho would bo as valuable as Hay,
however, for the Chicago man can run
ny distance up to five mites, and I don't
sellovo WIlBon la as good over the mile.
The cholco of Loomls la a good one.
The tall C, A. A. nthloto can tako care of
four events on any program. In fact, two
years ago Loomls surprised the athletic
trltlcs by winning threo events In the nn
tlonal championships. This Is something
which no man ever has done before. The
fields In all of the events which Loomls
captured wero of the best, If you will look
back over the results, ynt the lanky Ch.
eapoan rompod homo winner In tho 220-j-ard
low hurdles, tho broad, Jump and the
jilgh Jump.
Since thon he lias developed Into one of
the best sprinters In tho country, and laBt
year won tho 100-yard dash nt San Fran
elco. Here ho had to do 0 4-5 seconds and
beat Alvah Moyor, tho Irish-American star.
Meyer has done 10 seconds nnd better on
several occasions, so In beating him Loomls
eitabllshed himself as one of tho foremost
printers of tho day. Drew, tho colored
jnarvel, and Smith, tho two-time Intercol
legiate winner of tho hundred, also wero
starters In this rnco.
Loomls will bo a great card In Sweden.
jThey are keen for tho nll-nround perform
ers and when they sco ono man doing
three or four oventa and doing them In
and around world's record marks thoy again
will marvel at American athletes and
American methods of training as they did
four years ago.
With Loomls competing In nnd winning
four events nnd what tho distance man
and myself can do, wo should prove a
strong enough team to capture any dual
meets which wo might ha.vo with nny of
the Swedish clubs.

Many Postponements
This Bweepstako, or these sweepstakes,
or whatever It or they Is oi are. haB or
have been on tho program for more than
a month, nnd many attempts have Uoen
made to pull off the evo-.it. Tho rnce was
first scheduled for July 13, but a leaking
sky was too much for oven tho riders. A
week later, Old Jupe ngaln brought out
tho sprinkler and tho stuff was oft until
further notice. Johnny Eckhnrt nnd others
connected with tho management got to
gether nnd selected laBt night as the big
night, nnd everything went off beautifully.
Even the mosquitoes were kind nnd gentle.
It was a race that had a sort of nn In
ternational flavor, for It brought together
representatives of the United States, Italy
and France. Without getting too patriotic,
allow us to state that the Americans had
thlngR their own wny nnd fought It out
between themselves, while tho others trailed
along, somewhere In the rear. But It was
very exciting, nnd tho remarkably close
finish caused the huge gathering to shout
Itself hoarse and lirlso to Its feet.
23,000 Witnessed Races
The largest crowd that ever witnessed
motorcycle racing In this city wns present,
tho ofllclal count being close to 23,000.
Tho big grandstnnd which stretches around
tho ono-thlrd-of-n-mllo track wan packed,
and thoso who camo In Into wero obliged
to seo tho race from the field.
Carman won tho big rnce, but victory

W. MAXWELL
Ho was pushed hard by Cieorgo Wiley, of
Syracuse, nnd hurtled' his machine ncross
tho lino one-fifth of n second ahead of his
opponent. It wns tho closest finish ever seen
at Point Brcezo nnd both riders received
an ovation at tho end.
Cnrmnn had been leading by ono half a
lap up to tho 35th mllo nnd seemed to be
taking things easy. IIo wns going nt a
comfortable pace, and Jimmy Hunter, his
pnecmnker, kept down the speed. Suddenly
Wiley stnrted n sprint and almost caught
up with tho leader before ho realized It.
Then camo the sensational work which
brought tho crowd to Its feet. Wiley got
within 10 feet of Carman, when tho cham
pion let out a few links of peert nnd both
riders sped nround tho track, nt a furious
pace. With their legs working like piston
rods they shot nround and nround, sprinting
ns If they were Just ntartlng tho event in
stead of finishing It. When tho referee
fired his gun ns a stgnnl for tho Inst lap,
thcro was more Bprlnting, but nolther man
could gain on tho other nnd they finished
10 feet apart.
Tho spectators knew that remarkably
fast t me had been made, nnd when Bobby
Calhoun announced In his strong, clear
voice thnt the winner trnveled the 40 miles
In 40 minutes nnd 57 seconds, there wero
gasps of surprise. Columbatto was third
and Dldler, tho Frenchman, a poor fourth.
Wiley took tho lend at tho start, whllo
Carman fell bnck to third. At tho end of
live miles the Syrncuso flyer was ahead,
with Dldler second. Then Cnrmnn Jumped
to tho front nftcr a hnrd sprint nnd Wiley
dropped to second, 25 yards behind. At
10 miles the champion retained tho lead,
with Wiley and Dldler cIobo behind.
Rides Mile in 59 Seconds
In the 14th mile, Wiley decided It wns
tlmo to get out In front nnu Btartcd after
tho leador. This Is whero Dldler lost out,
for ho was unnblo to keep up the pace nnd
lost his pacemaker. In tho meantime, tho
lenders were riding neck and neck, and
rodo ono mllo In 69 neconds, tho fastest
tlmo ever made on tho track on a blcyclo.
Carman retained tho lend and held It to
tho end. WIlcy'H fastest tlmo was ono
mlnuto flat.
Tho usual motorcycle races wero on tho
card and wero more Interesting than ever.
The last event of tho evening, a five-mile
rnco bctwen St. Yves, Vcdttz nnd Vande
berry, furnished enough thrills to last n
lifetime.
They sped around tho track 15 times,
clinging to tho sides llko bo mnny flies,
nnd at the end n blanket could havo covered
all of them. St. Yves won from Vande
bcrry by a few Inches, with Vedltz close
behind.

ST. LOUIS TEAM
IS CONFIDENT OF
WINNING FLAG
Fielder Jones Doing Great
Work as Manager Pitch
ing Method Is Changed
SISLER PLAYING WELL
By SPICK HALL
Fielder Jones nnd his band of breez
ing; Browns were distinctly disappointed
that the' were not able to toko both
Barnes of yesterday's double-header from
tho Athletics. still, tho defeat which
Joo Bush handed Kddlo l'lank In tho first
camo did not talte any confidence out of tho
men, so far as tho ultimate result Is con
cerned. Tho St. Louis players admit they will win
the pennant, regardless of the fnct thnt New
York, Chicago. Boston nnd Cleveland nro
still represented In Ban Johnson's league.
Tho long Btrlnc of victories, 23 out of 27
after yesterday's frames, has put a spirit
Into tho Browns that has never been thoro
before. They are so confident of winning
that It Is doubly hard for any club to bent
them. They havo conddence In their Individ
ual ability, in their teammates nnd In their
manager.
Acclimated to Jones
One mluht say that It took the Browns
some time to tret "acclimated" to Fielder
Jones. In fnct, Bcvcral of tho players wero
afraid of him, not In n physical way, but
montnlty they were Homowh.it cowed by his
frequent air of reserve.
Jones Is really very niTnblc, except when
tho Browns havo had n bad losing streak.
Hence one sees Immediately that his dispo
sition at tho present tlmo belongs to the
"thnn-whlch-thcre-ls-nonc-better" class.
.-- i. i I, ,
One of the rensons wny it took the
Browns somo time really to know their
manager was because they did not get
his methods quickly. His Btyle of play In
all departments of tho gamo Is rndlcnlly
different from that taught tho players by
Branch Itlckcy Inst year nnd by tho man
agers under whom tho others played.
It took Jones a long tlmo to get tho
pitchers working Just ns he wnntcd them,
but ho finally lined them up to perform his
way, nnd It hns proved to l-n tho victorious
way.
Likes a Slow
The slow ball Ih one of JoncB'a hobbles.
Ho docs not want nny of his pitchers to
use It because It Is a fad of his, but be
causo ho really thinks that It Is one of
tho most effective balls In tho game. Jones
should know, because ho managed tho Whlto
Sox through n winning campaign In 190G
and ended : perfect year by giving tho Cubs
a sovero lacing.
Kddlo Plunk has been using hla slow ball
a great deal. His fine control enables him
to put the ball Just in n spot where It will
bo tnntallzlng to tho batsman, becauso of
Its Blownoss, but "where the htttor will not
get a healthy swing at It.
Yesterday Plank did not pitch moro than
a dozen curvo balls, and In some of his nota
ble victories of tho recent pnst ho hns used
as few as threo and four curvo balls, de
pending entirely on his Blow ball and his
cross-lire.
Jonca'B other pitchers have tnkon up the
slow bnll nnd have dono wonders with It.
Thoso of his hurlcrs who havo good con
trol, nnd most of them have, havo been
getting away with game after game by mak
ing their opponents hit nt bad balls.
Like many other managers, Fielder Jones
nppenrs to be confident enough thnt his
team will win the pennant, but he does not
say so In plain words nnd figures. In tho
matter of comparative strength between tho
Browns and the other clubs of tho leaguo
Jones Is nlso reticent. Howover, ho did say:
"I think that the club that beats the lied
Sox out will win tho flag. I don't know
whether we will do It or not, but I seo no
reason why wo should not contlnuo going
well and staying up near the top, for all of
tho boys are giving their best efforts, nro
taking the game seriously and have tho win
ning confidence."
Jones Is not of tho driving McQraw typo.
nor does ho have tho smooth methods of
Connie Mack to get tho best out of his play
ers. He Is sometimes one and sometimes tho
other, depending on the man and on given
conditions. When tho time comes for him
to rake a. player over the coals he does It.
On the other hand. If he thinks thnt a more
gentle method will get better results he
omployu that.
Sisler Shines in Pinches
George Sister, who hns replaced Jack Mil
ler at llrst basa for the Browns, Is playing
mnrvelously good In tho field and Is doing
a lot of hitting In the pinches. Ho has
driven In run after run In the St. Louis
recent drives ngalnat the other seven clubs
of the league, nnd he Is apparently getting
better all tho time with the stick.
Sisler hits loft handed and seems to
have tho happy faculty of being able to
put all of hla, best efforts In hla work at
tne time wucn it is most needed uy tils
team. For Instance, three two-base hits
which Sisler has got within tho .last
threo weeks have come at a time when the
bases were full. Those safe blows meant
three games for the Browns., He has driven
In other runs by thla timely swatting, but
with few men on tho puths,
In the sixth Inning of the first game
yesterday, tho round in which tha Browns
scored their first run, Staler singled. In
the eighth, when they passed the Athletics
by making two, Sisler drove In one with a
triple to the right-center field wall.
In the field Sisler is saving his Infield
mates many errors a game.
Neither Johnny Lavan nor Jimmy Austin
Is doing very accurate throwing, but they
do not have to when Sisler is at first. He
takes them with one hand high, at either
side and picks them up out of the dirt
when the Vail takes all kinds of queer
hops. On the whole, he Is a very valuable
oluyer and one far superior to the much-talked-of
Hornsby.

NATION-WIDE BATTLE
AGAINST BABY PLAGUE
OPENED WITH VIGOR
Conference of State Health Au
thorities and Public Service
Officials Formulates Plan
of Campaign
UNIFORM ATTACK URGED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. The nation
wide conference between State health offi
cers and public health scrvlco officials over
measures to stamp out tho Infantile paraly
sis cptdemlo was concluded hero today by
the ndoptlon of n report prepared by the
commltleo appointed to draft measures to
prevent tho interstate nnd Intrastate Bprcad
of tho disease.
The report, as adopted, suggests a strin
gent system of notification, whereby tho
destination of nil children under 1G ycarB
of nge who are traveling either within a
Stnte or between States, shall at onco bo
reported to tho health authorities In ench
destination,
It further suggests that when schools nre
opened In communities which hnvo Buffered
from Infnntllo p.trnlysls, the high schools
first open, tho lower grades following In
order downward. The opening of schoolB,
It Ih Ret forth, should be no more rapid
than complete medical examinations war
rant. Tho report urges Stnte health authorities
Immediately to call tho attention of tho
public health service to all cases of tho
disease.
Tho public health service Is recommended
tn take this action concerning travel of chil
dren from Infected areas:
"Notification concerning the removal of
persons 1G years of nge or under from nn
Infected area to a named point of destina
tion In another Slate, Bald notification to ho
nddresscd In every caso to tho Stnto health
authority of tho State of destination.
"Identification of such traveler, the ex
act location of present or usual residence
and record of premises as to freedom from
poliomyelitis during the preceding threo
months ; or as to latest date of Infection of
less than three months; or ns to renovn
tlon or cleansing of premises nfter Infec
tion. "Permits to travel shall bo void unless
tho Journey begin within 24 hours nfter
Issue of tho permit.
"Permits for Interstate travel should bo
signed by an oillcer of tho United Stntcs
public hcnlth service or by tho Stnte health
officer, or by an officer authorized by the
Stato health authority."
Tho commltteo disapproved of quaran
tine by ono Stato against another or by ono
community against another In the samo
State.
This" further travel restriction Is pro
vided :
"That all persons 1G years old or under
with a clean bill of health and removing
from an Infected area or dlBtrlct to another
locality should bo kept under observation
dally for two weeks from tho date of tho
cortlficato.
"To aid In preventing tho Bprend of
poliomyelitis, common carriers should In
struct their ngents by direct order, as well
ns by public notice, that travelers with chil
dren of 16 years or under must bo pro
vided with n health certificate as detailed In
another section of this report."
CITY SCHOOLS MAY CLOSE
IN BABY PLAGUE WAR
Continued front l'mo One
health ofilcers aren't very confident about
today. Camden, too, hnd four new cases.
Tho figures show that tho majority of
Pennsylvania's casca are right here In this
city j the majority of New Jersey's caBcs
nro outside of Camden. Thnt, however. Is
duo to tho fact that north Jersey is exposed
to tho Now York situation, which Is by far
tho worst In the Fast.
Doctor Illvnn rnt!irnrf (ndnv fmm
Washington, where ha went yesterday to
attend tho national conference. Most of
tho deliberations wero given over to tho
study of New York's epidemic, though It
wns dlBclosed that, all told. 38 States nre
now rUHIcted with the dlseaso to the ex
tont of 11,000 enses. Tho conference did
not arrive at any specific conclusions, ex

The quarantine regulations were ex
tended to churches nnd Sunday schools
yesterday, when Director Krusen sent n re
quest to pnstors of churches and Sundny
school superintendents throughout the city
to prohibit children under 16 years of age
from attending Sundny school and church
services. Director Krusen wrote to Arch
bishop Prendergast, Bishop Ithlnelander, of
the Protestant Fplscopal Church, and
Bishop Joseph F. Berry, of the Methodist
Fplscopal Church, asking their co-operation.
The Director's request, which virtually
amounts to an order from tho health au
thorities, will be obeyed by churches and
Sunday schools of nil denominations. At
tendance at the Sunday schools is light In
August, owing to the absence of many fam
ilies from the city.

out," Secretary Lansing said.
The naval expert of the Paris
Temps declared last night that Ger

been resumed against merchant
ships carrying guns because Ger

Tho ultimate Isolation of New Jersey

viso making physical examination unneces
sary. This loophole, city health ofllclals
said, already Is causing no end of trouble,
and-unless it Is eliminated. New Jersey
faces quarantine leveled acalnat her liv
other States to prevent children from leav
ing the borders of the State. Under this
proviso, they said, which was made to ellm
Jnato tho charging of fees for physical ex
aminations, an unscrupulous health officer
or Inspector could Issue a certificate to a
diseased child. The Camden authorities re
quire physical examinations, which nre
given at City Hall by Doctor Davis, Dr. J.
H. Leavltt and Dr. William H. Iszard. No
child under 16 years of nge, or adult ac
companying a cnila, is allowed either to
enter or leave Camden without a certificate.
