Tennis Leads the Honor List of the Country TENNIS is sending eight of its first ten men Into the service of the national Government, whllo still another is doing Government work. The tenth is tho Japanese plajer, Ichlya Kumagac, who Is probably doing war work for his country. No other sport In this country, amateur or professional, is making such A wonderful showing. The last man to enter tho war gamo Is William M. Johnston, last year's finalist and the joungest tennis player to win a national champion hip. He Is on his way to the Pacific coast to take a commission as an ensign In th naval militia of California. He had Just come East to participate in some Invitation round robin tournaments for the benefit of the Hed Cross, but now further play in these Is out of the question. Heading the list of war volunteers Is our Richard Norrls Williams, the second Fhlladelphlan to win a national tennis title. Tho twice crowned king of tennis ia at Plattsburg trying for an officer's commission. Ho first won tho tltlo in 1914, when he defeated Maurice McLoughlln, who had won tho tltlo three times In succession and to whom he was tho runner-up in 1913. Last car Williams ' again won the tltlo by defeating William M, Johnston, another of tho tennis stars f California. In addition, ho won the Scabrlght challengo round and tho Long Wood Indoor. While ho did not play as much last year as the preceding ear, Be lost only two matches, and those were to Clarence J. Grlflln. r JOHNSTON, who ranks as second, won tho title In 1915 from his fellow Callfornlan, McLoughlln. Last year ho won the Longwood and Pacific Coast and Trtstate tournaments and was finalist In the national and New port tourneys. He defeated the best men In the country and lost only three matches, two to Williams and one to Kumagac. Church Is Now in the Aviation Corps GEORGE M. CHURCH ranks third, and whllo ho has never been the national champion or runner-up, he has ranked among the ten best players for the last three years. Last ear he won the metropolitan championship and was tho 'finalist In tho Seabrlght, Rockaway, Palm Beach, Western and Delaware State tournaments. During the ear he defeated such cracks as McLoughlln, Kumagae, VIHIs Davis, Watson M. Washburn and Dean Mathey, ond the only matches ho lost 'were to Williams, Murray and Davis. The fourth In rank is R. Llndlcy Murray, who last year won tho national Indoor championship. Clarence J. Griffin ranks sixth. He was semlflnallst In the Pacific coast championship and semlflnallst In tho national, being beaten by Wil liams In straight sets. He and Johnson partnered won the national doubles championship from McLoughlln and Dawson. He had the unusual pleasure of twice beating Williams during tho season and three times ho has had the honor of winning the doubles championship with this partner. Ho has ranked among the leading ten best plajcrs for two years. Watson Washburn Is the seventh In rank, and last year he won the Southampton, Point Judith and Westchester tournaments. Willis E Davis Is another of the brilliant group of Californlans and ranks as eighth. Among his other victories last enr were the clay court, Pennsylvania State, Western Pennsylvania and Sleepy Hollow, Joseph J. Armstrong, who ranks as ninth. Is a,Phlladelphlan. He was finalist In the Longwood tournament and lost tho challenge round of the Delaware fetate championship. Dean Mathey ranks as tenth, and last jear he was the nallst in the Nassau tournament. WILLIAMS is trying for a commlsslort as an officer In the army at Plattsburg. Johnston will shortly be an ensign in tho naval mllltla of California. Church Is a cnndldato fqr a lieutenant's commission in tho aviation corps. Murray Is a mechanical engineer at the plant of tho Hooker Electrochemical Company, Niagara Falls. Griffin Is at Plattsburg, as Is Washburn. Davis is in the officers' reserve corps in California. Armstrong is in the Seaman's Institute, New iYork, qualifying for a ' ' quartermaster sergeant. Mathey is at Fort Myer. t&V HHE fact that eight of tho first ten cracks anlf t branch of the service again brings to 'th But Where Are All the Ball Players? in the country have enlisted In some 'the notice of tho sporting public that ?St ne baseball men who have gone to the front are notably few and far between.

Was National in Reality as Well as in Name The Defec tion of the W. G. A. M AX H BEHR, who In 1008 was runner- !tflB4Hp'y- aiYW j ' . . 'if, -,!?,.& tlonal amateur golt championship and who li editor of Golf Illustrated, comes out ery strongly for a national golf association In the current number of that periodical." Mr Behr Is not only ranked among the best pln Ing golfers In the country, but ho and Charles B MacDonald, who wan the first nun In thli country to win a national ama teur title, were responsible for the National golf links, which until Pine Valley was built, was regarded as tho finest test of golf In thl country Ho It greatly Interested In golf and he feels like others that the United Stntea Golf Association Is not as represontatUo as It might be 'Weeded, a national golf association. That seems a peculiar need In lev of tho existence of tho United States Golf Asso ciation with Its claim to being the dominat ing poner oer golf In America," he says "But what Is one to think of this claim when one pees the Western Golf Association soerlng its nominal allegiance to the parent organization by passing Its own law to govern amateurism and abolishing the stjmle? Can ths U. S G. A. any longer claim supcrmacy7 W. G. A. Not Disrupting Golf 'There nro those who blame the W. G. A for disrupting tho game, but they are wrong Thn west has been extremely tol erant It has nlns desired to further the Interests of the U. S G A. and see It grow to a position where Its authority would be unquestioned But It has ail along recognized that tho U. S. G. A. as now constituted was In no position to assert the complete authority which should be long to It." "We note from an article In the Phlladel. phla Tublle Ledger of July 1 that Mr. Perrln, president of the U. S. G. A , has characterised the W G. A. as a treasonable body and ItH 'ndependent stand as regards amateurism and tho stymie as outrageous History docs not warrant that opinion On the contrary, up until recently th? W. G A. has been lojal to the tradltlonj for which the U. S G. A has stood and for the rules of the game which It has promulgated. But the U. S G A. cannot expect this will go on forever If It pers'sts In refusing the ordi nary courtesy of meeting half-way an Inde pendent association which b i been willing to acknowledge the nominal authority of the U S. O. A , and which was eer ready to placo Itself under Its direct authority If It rould obtain the representation that was Its due. We can assert that the West Is ready today to extend tho hand of friendship and confer upon some means whereby the gov ernment of the gamo may become unified for the best Interests of golf In America. But patience has Its limits, which Mr. Perrln's remarks hae nearly stretched to the breaking point. Ouimct Case Unfortunate 'The recent unfavorable decision of the executive committee of the U. S G A. as regards the personal appeal of Francis Oulmet for reinstatement as an amateur Is another unfortunate happening as regards public opinion As the U. S G. A. amateur definition stands today It was of course Im possible for the executive committee to en tertain favorably Oulmet's appeal, but in view of the known fact that Oulmet's case was never voted upon at the annual meeting In January, a happier solution would have been the calling of a special meeting of the association to consider the matter. A con sideration of Oulmet's case by the associa tion as a body Is ot the highest Importance. Tallure to settle the Question last January was the cause ot the present split between the West and the East, and the executive committee has paid the penalty of ventur ing Into a dangerous position In the face of public opinion and In continuing to persist In maintaining that position without Its ratification by tho association as a body. It now finds Its sovereignty by consent partly transformed into impotence by dis agreement. "How long will the members of the United State Golf Association tolerate this indif ference to their Interests? Will they allow these grave matters to hang Are until they find they belong to an association which is national only In name, or are they going to rise up and, If necessary, reconstitute them selves In order that the association shall regain the power and Influence which are its due as the parent organization of golf in this country!" No Denial From President Perrin Since that Interview with Mr, Perrln at the open patriotic tournament nothing has been heard from him that the remarks he made were Incorrect. Newspaper men who have had any experience at all are careful in quoting others, and there Is no doubt that he vald the action of the W, G. A. was treasonable and outrageous In one of the local Sunday newspapers the writer says: "In the current Issue of Golf Illustrated, edited by Max Behr. President Howard W. 1'errln, ot the United States Golf Asso ciation, Is quoted a saying that the West ern Qolf Association acted treasonably la hm inaepenaeni.siana m rffarae ?. Mr Perrln asserts that he was not fully quoted by the reporter who Interviewed him Apparently, blH true meaning was not understood The U S G. A. president stated emphatically that he considered the action of the Western Association most de plorable It Is a well-known fact that the stjmle probably would have been consid ered by the V S G A In conjunction with the British Association When the war broke out the two countries were getting ery close together In golf matters and sev eral points were to be considered jointly, when men could get the horrors of war from their minds To continue golf during tho war Is well enough, but certainly It Is no time for America to take the bit In its teeth and run wild In golf legislation when circumstances will not permit our British comrades to think with us These thoughts qualified Mr. Perrln's statement, but with out them It made n better story by half quoting him, so It mattered little whether the game might be hurt by bringing criti cism upon the head of the president of the U. S. G. A , who already has much to contend with simply because he happens to be the chief executive during ery trying times A writer of golf comment does not have to go out of the way to get anything sensa tional We all think too highly of Mr. Per rln to write anything that will hurt him. We simply reported his remarks as he made them There Is no doubt that he feels ery keenly about the action of the Western Golf Association, and possibly If he had thought the matter over he would not have expressed himself so forcibly.

I So what of it? N THE season's count at least two stars have suffered heavy casualties so far and are now In the throes of the worst campaign they have ever known. One Is a eteran and one a. youngster, but both hae been listed among the best. In the American League Walter Johnson has suffered thirteen defeats, more than any pitcher In his circuit. He has had his share of hard luck, but to lead the league in defeats Is an unusual turn for a pitcher listed among the greatest of the game. The second slump belongs to At Mamaux. Mamaux has been accustomed to a high place In the pitching councils, even with a losing club But this season, out of four teen attempts, Mamaux has perpetrated onlv two victories against twelve defeats, a mighty drop from his first two years, when he looked to be one of the coming stars The Old Cunning Remains It has been two years now since Travers has taken part In an amateur champion ship For the last two years' he has known ery little of tournament plav, ns his game has been confined -to tho Saturday afternoon and Sunday schedule So, despite his known record for match play greatness, no one thought the five-time champion was quite good enough to face the task he tackled last week He was called upon to face three of the greatest golfers In the country over three of the hardest New York courses, all ary Ing In style He was put In against Gil Nichols at Baltusrol, Jock Hutchinson at Slwanoy and Wnlter Hagen at Garden City. This Is about as tough a schedule as any golfer could take on But after fifty-four holes of match play against this formidable trio, Including three of the most brilliant professionals In America, Travers finished five holes to Jhe good. He was jl up on Nlcholts 1 down to Hutchinson and 3 up on Hagen And the two shots that beat him In the Hutchinson match were a 330 yard drive and a 240-yard spoon shot to an uphill green, two of the most remarkable shots of the year. This showing Is evidence enough that Taes will still be on hand as a championship contender when tourna ment play is resumed be ond the Red Hori zon. Wherein Something Was Said Nipper Campbell, the eminent Scotch pro. wan piaying a nara mai.cn in uis recent j war reiier tournament. On a certain tee The Nipper hooked ft deep trap "Oh, I'm sorry," remarked his opponent ' won't be sorry if je go there yeself." fl wnicn, li a trine cruae, was me truuu How many golfers who say so are actually sorry when an opponent in a hard match slaps one into a deep trap or cracks on il out of bounds; Tou know the answer. The Giants might crack under the strain. It there happened to be a- strain near enough to crack under. Which there doesn't seem to bo just at this steamy moment. In Revery The Will Box team can race the tettf Then suat the ball and all the rett; Theu field and run and cover ground, Their men pet on and pet around; And vet I'm glad I had no hunch To bet against that Red Sox bunch.
