MAXWELL Fports Tvdllor Evenlni rublte Liler MATTER what thpy ny nbout the New York lants. it U n vcrr elassr bnll Hub. nnrt vc probably vnl not nf thrm in the second division again this year. The athletes on MeOrntv's payroll have been working here since last Friday, and in the five games proved to all of those present that 'the team i3 to be considered ' eriously in the battle for the pennant. Down South the club did not look very Rood. Frich was an experiment at third, Doyle was getting too slow to' cover second and Kelly was an awkward first base man. Fletcher was the only real plajer in the inner works. Now Frisch is one of (he best third eackrrs in the league, Bancroft stands out fts one of the greatest shortstops, Eddie Sicking is getting by at, second And' George Kelly has developed into a first' sackcr of no mean ability. The only thing missing has been good pitching. The Giants have a formidable hurling sttiff with ' Barnes, Toney, Douglas, Nehf and Benton, but the did not get going until last week and at present appear to be In top shape. The warm weather has loosened them up, and if they continue to pitch good ball the New Yorfccrs will begin a steady advance for the top. "As soon as my pitchers hit their stride, just wa.tch us step into the first division." said MrGraw before the club left last night. "We haven't the best outfield in the world, but it isn't the worst, either. The infield is look ing better every day, the catching staff is as good as any In the league, so it is up to the hurlers. Bight now they look good." The National League race is so close that any one of the eight clubs is likely to win. You can't count anybody out, as yet. The teams are bunched, and the one that puts on a winning streak first will have the edge. The Giants, it must be remembered, are noted for their spurts. In 101G they won nineteen straight on the road, and later In the season registered tweuty-six in a row. Therefore the Giants should be closely watched. Cin cinnati is having a tough time of it, between uncertain 1 pitching and fighting with the umpires ; Brooklyn, with its swell pitching staff, is on the, skids; Boston and the Phillies are doing th.e best they tan, and the other clubs axe bitterly contesting every battle. The Cubs are going strong-, St: Louis is up in front and Pittsburgh is making things interring for the oppo nents. It's the closest race the National has had in years and the fans are all het up over it. "". OUR Phils are not to be sneezed afrwhen they get good pitching. Gatfvy Cravath has a fighting, hard-hitting ball club, and although in last place; is playing good ball. ' Frbch's Return Strengthened Giants rpHE return of Frank Frisch has strengthened the Giants considerably. The Fordham youngster was stricken with appendicitis early in the season, and while he was recuperating his team put on a lengthy losing streak. As soon as be returned, however, the Giants took on a new lease of life and started to win. Ball players are born and not made. Occasionally a promising looking youngster is 'farmed out to the minors for more experience, but when you stumble over o real player he can take his place in the fast set from the start. Frisch is a notable example. Without any pro fessional experience he broke Into ope of the games against He the Cincinnati last year and made good from the start. looks like the bwt ball player who has broken into game in years. Ralph Miller is another youngster who is making good his first time out. Eddie Collins, Barry, Mclnnis and many others needed no minor league experience before landing a job in the fast set. George Kelly, the big first baseman, was sent to Rochester last year, but that was because Hal Chaso was playing the bag. Now the big boy is playing like a major leaguer nnd apparently has his job-cinched. Kelly is a good hitter despite his poor form nt the plate. He stands flat-footed, all hunched up, nnd when he hits the ball all of the power comes from his arms. If Kelly straightened up and stepped into the ball like Ruth he would hit them just as far as the Ynnkee slugger. It's strange that Mq'Graw hasn't chnhged Kelly's style. At the end of the game yesterday the Phl.s packed up halr traveling suits and made arrangcraenw for a long tour. They are idle today and tomorrow, but on Friday play Brooklyn nnd then will meet all of the clubs in the Ifague,' returning on July 2S. TjyLlEE the Giants, the Phils are not good trav' J elers. They ftltcays have hard luck on the road, but there's always a chance for improvement. Ruth Is Dempsey of the Diamond AFTER a disastrous, journey in the West, the A's re turned today and' swept out Shibe Park to make it presentable for a long home stay. They lost eighteen games.lii a row, which is a season's record, and broke the streak in Washington Monday. Today the homo folks have a nice, sweet, comfortable, easy assignment. All .they have to do is to play Babe Ruth and eight other New York players, including Ping Bodle, the Wonderful Wop, in a double-header. The Yanks are going good now, have visions of the pennant and will show no mercy. Games won from tho A's count just as much as those copped from Cleveland. Babe Ruth, of course, Is the big attraction. Tho Home Run Iing is on tho way to a new record and al ways has found it soft in this park. One day ho bit the ball over the row of houses behind the right field wall in Twentieth street for the longest hit ever mado on the local lot. It 'will be a joy to give him a look today. Ruth also is developing into a great outfielder. Early in tho season he was unable to cover much ground, but now his legs are in good shape, and ho roams around spearing the fly balls in all directions. THE world loves a slugger, and that's the reason for Ruth's popularity. He doesn't jab, but takes a full swing, and when he hits the ball it slays hit. He is the Jack Dempsey of the diamond. PHILADELPHIA will oe treated to a real boxing show in a couple of weeks when Lew Tendler meets Willie Jackson at the Phillies' park. Last year .Tackson hit Tendler on the chin and put him down for the count in the first round. A lot of water was thrown on the fallen boxer, which was not according to the rules, and Jack son became so excited, when Lew was not disqualified that he missed a chance to put over tho final wallop. After much difficulty Leon Rains landed the match. Both boys are out for revenge. CowrioM, HSO, lv PubUe Ltdaer Co.

OLD YORK ROAD ALL READY FOR SUCCESSFUL TOURNEY Course Never in Such Fine Shape as Entries for Golf Carnival Continue Difficult to Favor Stars in British Open By SANDY MeNIBLICK ENTRIES are still piling in, the course has never been in better shape, there is a case full of ever pleasing prizes, and every indication at the Old Yorlc Road Country Club to day was for a most successful invita tion golf tournament. The three-day affair starts tomorrow to qualify for the several sixteens, niter which thcro will be four rounds of match-play, including tho finals nt eighteen holes Saturday afternoon. The entry list has been limited to players of 12-13 handicap or bwer, which fact develops that, exclusive of two or three clubs in that neighbor hood, there are 640-odd players in the Philadelphia district eligible to play according to tho figures furnished. Flno Showing The entry list yesterday noon had reached 110. tho committco said, which was even then obliged to change the starting times to accommodate the pro cession. This is nn exceptional fine showing for one of the smaller clubs to make. It is the season of sizzling heat, of vacations nnd so forth, as well as the week immediately following the end of the super-tourney-crowded month of June. But instead of the dates mark ing a slack in the local interest in tourney competition, tbo opposite would seem to be the case. Those who have not played the course for a matter of two or three years will scarcely know It. Willie Parke, the famous ex -British open champion, spent considerable time and thought in the matter of readjusting the holes for better golf shots. Jack Campbell, pro there, states that the second, third, tenth, eleventh nnd twelfth holes arc all new. The fourth Is now an elbow hole, requiring two phots nnd n pitch : the old fifth has been chnnged from one nnd a pitch to a one-, shottcr, a pretty bole of nbout -10 yards. The sixth is now forty yard longer, the thirteenth about forty yards longer than it used to be and fifty yards have been added to the sixteenth. Thus not many of the holes remain the same nB of yore. The prizes make a fine display. For the winner of the low gross score there will be a tall silver flower vase. The winner of the tournament will receive a very largo aud handsome silver water pitcher, and there's a large silver sand wich tray for the runner-up. A vase goes to the winner of the second with a silver coffee percolator to the man he beats. The winner of the third sixteen gets a vegetable dish and there's a water pitcher for tho runner-up and 60 on down the line. Old York Road makes n fine setting for nn invitation affair. Good turf, and fast greens on the sparsely trapped course ought to pave the way for good scoring. The committee has left noth ing undone to make the affair a suc cess. Walter Hagen May you play with your true renown, On the green may your putts go down; May thry tie the blue ribbon eke To the blade of your Yankee clock. NOT GUILTY.

Walter Hagen, born In these United States and twice winner of the Arnerl ran open championship, and Jim Barnes, Cornishman. though many years a habitant of the land of the Stars and Stripes, arc the two Yankee entries abroad, Hagen qualified fourth, Barnes fortyeventh. Their chances to win arc rated at from 10 to 1 to 12 to 1. Before their arrival in Britain the two were considered as very improbable winners. Other foretRners will play, and the llnc-UD has shifted. Where it was at first the famous "triumvirate," Vardon, Braid and Taylor versus the "threatening" trio, Ray, Mitchell and Duncan, the invaders have shown such shots that it is now the "British square" against the field. That "square" now includes a dozen of the foremost British players. The usual prizes are being offered abroad to any one able to pick three of the first five, the first three in or der, five of the first ten, three to finish better than five and so on. A dozen golf balls in some cases, many pounds sterling in others are the attractions to tho guessers. But those offering the prizes are generally safe. The game of golf is such that it would be more than luck to pick the winner in advance ; it would be a message from beyond. Hagen and Barnes have the ingre dients of winners. Some here favor the one to win, some tho other. Seventy-two boles of medal play Is the method of decision nearest at hand. I- Tl.

June 30. The Important work of selecting a coach for America's Olympic team will be attended to at the meeting at tho New Tork A. 0., July 6, of the executive committee of the American Olympic committee. This became known last night when Frederick W. Rubicn, secretary to tho American Olympic committee, took oc xneinn in denv renorts which bad reached hero to the effect that Jack Moakley, Cornell athletic coach, and Lawson Robertson, University of Penn sylvania track and field mentor, had been definitely selected for tbo Impor tant berths. While denying the authenticity of tho reported selections, Secretary Rubien nnroethelena ndmitted that CoacllCS Moakley and Robertson arc being se riously considered for the task of di recting tho preparatory work of Amer ica's athletes before tho international competitions. The reports which reached this dis trict were to the effect that tho vet eran Moakley had been appointed to coach tho track squad, whllo Robertson had been selected to look after the per formers In the field events. No secret is mado of the fact that theso two coaches, regarded as the greatest la tho country, are favorites for the honor of guiding America's Olympic track and field men. Their knowledge of athletics has resulted in their being mado favorites for tho coach ing berths. Whether both will bo se lected, however, remains to bo seen. The report that the rommlttce is con sidering tho advisability of appointing two coaches reflects a departuro from the original plan, which favored tho in stallation of ono coach, with an assis tant, as was tho caso when tho team went to Stockholm in 1012, when the late Mike Murphy was in charge, with Robertson as his assistant. using bis terrifically fast service, n this The second. set was in some respects a repetition of the flrt. -.t .!p' Ke?"d:.h-eiLPt W Tilden was it TiiT ' """oeii. was not until ""e"' "iiu necessary lor h m tn anis nest to win, that he brought a.ms " up'r;'p?ed'' service and really arae right up to tho net In carrrlns out his slashing tactics. u"luS out It was understood that he was ju-. dlHoualy' reserving himself for the 2 .iVIe5Kt.CT5?d.."wi,JL ,.?. the re- ........ . uiUi tseurai7 regarded as by no means n foregone conclusion? uuvu inn competitors naywg A number of confident supporters in authoritative tennis circles. Tllilcn Starts Rally a-1 and then to 4-2. Here Tilden ap parcntly decided that It was tlma to exert himself decisively, for ho there upon took four consccutlvo games nud tho set, , Almost the samo story was told In tho first few games of the final set. Tilden captured the first brace of games. Then the Japanese ran tho score to fj-2. During this run of victories Rhlmidzu made numerous fino shots, frequently passing his opponent, especially to the backhand, while Tilden merely ambled up to, tho service line and often did not cren get that far. With Shimidzu only ono gamo from a Tlctory In this set, however, the American agala began to exert himself, and the score was speedily five-all, Tilden-giving a splen did all-around exhibition of his best form. In the, finals of the ladies' singles, Mrs. Lambert Chambers, of England, the former title holder, beat Miss Ryan, of California, in straight sets, G-2, 0-1. At Dawn of Career Never on British soil was ever such tennis seen as that which sparkled from Tilden's racnuet. and the best nsrr nf It is mac.ne is virtually at tno dawn or his career. Although Tilden has played tennis most of his life, ho did not rise to na tional prominence until 1018, when he won tho national day-court champion ship and was ranked No. 2 in the first ten. That year Tilden went to the fin als in the allcomers at Forest Hills, but was beaten by R. LIndley Murray for the title. Murrar was rated No. 1 Las the result of bis victory. This is the first time, that Tilden has ever represented tho United States on the Davis cup team. Since 1014 there have been no matches played for this trophy, and at that time Tilden was un known as a tennis player except in Philadelphia and vicinity. One of tho reasons why BUI Tilden did not leap into higher ranks earlier is becauso he was trying to develop tho game, not his game, in Philadelphia. Ho is a member of tho Gcrmantown Cricket Club, a native of Philadelphia and has always wanted to sec the Qua ker City stand high in tennis rating. Ho believed that tho best way to ac complish this was .to instruct the young. Consequently he has done more than any other man In this vicinity to help young players. He made Carl Fischer, the flniby left-handed captain of tho University of Pennsylvania; Charley Watson and many other boys who have developed Into tennis "stars. Ho also put Vincent Richards. on the road to fnme. In 1018 Tilden nnd Richards won the doubles championship, playing through tho tournament and neteating Frederick B. Alexander and Benls C.

Indoors and on clay courts, Tilden is not as good as ho is on turf. He was beaten in 1010 in the indoor n"! tionals by Vincent Richards, but h had not had as much practice at that time as his protege. Last winter he turned the tables on young Richards and won the title H nnd Richards won the indoor doublea crown for both 1010 nnd 1020. Last August In the nationals at For est Hills, Tilden achieved his greatest tournnraent success. He defeated Nor man B. Brookes and also put out R. N. Williams and Ichiya Kumakae. In his matches ngalnst Brookes and Wil liams there is no doubt that Tilden's game reached a height to which no other nloyer in this country has ever attained. There wasn't a man in the world who could havte beaten him on cither of those occasions. SHIBE PARK DOCnLTv-IIEDER TODAY. 1.S0 r, Athletics V8. New York Reserved Bents at Olmbels and Soaldlnri M.
