AT THE halfway mark In the Long Island Open Championship of 1924 a plnt-sizen little Scotchman from Laulton la leading: a field representative of the Island'! best golfing talent by one slim stroie. Francis Gallett Is the chap who today shows the way to the one hundred odd contestants endeavoring to follow in the footsteps of Bill Kline, the two-time holder of the title.

There are still 36 holes to traverse' before the issue is decided, and no golfer needs to be told that almost anything can happen In 36 holes, but for all of that, we figure Gallett as most likely to succeed to "Kliney's" crown. In yesterday's Eagle we picked Gallett as the probable winner of the championship. For once It begins to look as if a prophecy of ours might slowly, back from the ball. It is Important to understand that the body does not, during these movements, turn to the right. When the weight has moved over and the clubhead is back from the ball, the pivot begins.

This takes the club on around and forces It in back of the shoulders, where It belongs. By the time the club is at the top of the back swing, the weight should have gone over to the right hip, the right hip should have been shoved outward and somewhat back and the left heel should be slightly off the ground.

The "Big Four" Is better equipped to meet the British through the very fact that IS VICTOR OVER Mexican Champion Elimi nates Chicago Star in State Net Tourney. Special to The Eagle.) Rye, N. Aug. 6 The round before the semi-final was reached on the courts of the Westchester-Bllt-more Club in the New York State women's tennis singles championship tourney yesterday.

Favorites held the upper hand throughout the playing of the early rounds, and it looks as though one of the tried-and-true clan will annex the title at btake. The featu. match yesterday wa the one In which Mrs, Carl HitchlnsA ehampion of Mexico, defeated Miss Marlon Lelghton of Chicago, mid-Western champion, in a grueling three-set match. The score was 6 4. 7 6 2.

The Mexican star's victory was effected through the medium of a trick slice shot, which had Miss Lelghton worried to such un extent that it caused the loss of the match. She could not fathom the queer twist the ball took when propelled on the wings of Mrs. Hltchln slice. Miss Raj art) Wins. Although the victory of Mrs.

Hltchlns was regarded in the nature of an upset, the fact remains that it was not so startling a reversal as it seemed. Mrs. Hitchlns has cut quite a figure in metropolitan tennis lor a number of years. Miss Martha Bayard of Short Hills. N.

had surprisingly little trouble In putting out Miss Anna Fuller, 18-year-old star, in straight sets, 6 2, 6 1. Miss Fuller the day before had scored a clean-cut victory over Mrs. Beaupre of Quebec. Miss Mayme MacDonald defeated Mrs. William H.

itehard, 6 8. 6 2. The national city clay court champion is favored to win the State championship. The eight remaining players In the tourney are Miss MacDonald, Mrs. Hltchlns.

Miss Bayard, Miss Katherine Gardner of Boston, Miss Penelope Anderson of Richmond, Mrs. Samuel Waring, Mrs. Helena Pollak Falk and Mrs. John S. Taylor.

Mrs. Falk, although outsteadled by Miss Margaret Blake of Boston, managed to win out, 6 2, 8 6, 6 1. YANKEES SIGN BRITT.

Big Field in Women's Court Title Tourney The women's national tennis championships, to begin at Forest Hills next Monday, will have a record entry. Over 60 of the leading feminine players of both this country and Canada will compete. A feature of the field is that every holder of the women's title for the past 16 years will compete. This is believed to be a record for any tennis tourney. Helen Wills Is the defending champion, and she is already practicing at Forest Hills.

Mrs. Mallory, deposed last year by the young Call-fornlan, is also an entrant for her lost laurels. She competed against the United States and for Norway in the Olympics. Twice beaten abroad by Helen last month, the sturdy Norwegian Is still confident that she can take the Coast wonder's measure.

JHN Norman Brookes and Howard Kinsey Favored in Round Before Semi-Final (Special to The Eagle.) Southampton, L. Aug.

6 The banner field entered in the 41st renewal of the annuul tennis tout ney at the Meadow Club has narrowed down to eight, who will resume play this afternoon. The survivors are Norman E. Brookes, the veteran Australian: ffowiKoI B. I. c.

Norton, Howard Voshell, J. f. Whit-beck, Robert Kinsey, Harvey Snod-grass and Carl Fischer. Brookes' two victories were the outstanding feature of yesterday's play. He eliminated Irving Wein-stein, University of California star, in the morning, and Hugh Kellehtr In the afternoon.

Moat ot the others left in the tourney scored two wins yesterday. The spectacular Australian lr.it-hander's defeat of Kelleher was more Impressive than his win over the young Weinsteln. The latter was obviously ill at ease in facing such a noted opponent as Brookes, and suffered from a bad case of stage fright throughout his match. The score was 6 2, 6 1. Brookes took the measure of Kelleher of the West Side Club in a more decisive fashion.

The count was 6 1, 6 1. The dean of the Antipodean court stars outplayed Kelleher steadily. The latter too, seemed rattled against Brookes and could not get off his best shots in the teeth of tradition. Brookes' service was the high light of this match. Kelleher scored most of his points by playing to his opponent's weak backhand.

Howard Kinsey Scores. Howard Kinsey, on the other side of the draw from Brookes, had two hard matches before he could entei the round before the semi-final. In the morning play he dropped the first set agalnBt E. M. Edwards of Philadelphia, and then went on to win by a score of 6 7, 6 3, 6 1.

Kinsey was not hitting cleanly In the opener, while Edwards was going beautifully, covering the court splendidly and going for the net whenever he saw the openings. The Philadelphlan overcame a lead of 2 5 In the opener. In the afternoon Kinsey took on Lewis N. White of Texas, and again was forced considerably all the way through the two sets, which were scored at 6 4. 7 6.

White was hitting fast and hard, his shots carrying a sting that at times made them difficult to handle. Kinsey started by trying to place his opponent on the defensive with straight-hit drives, but when he found he could make no headway he resorted to chopped returns more frequently, and, as in the case of Edwards. White could not meet the changed conditions successfully. Summaries. Beeond round Howard C.

The fecond set found Smith and Raymond playing in their best form. taking the set by a 6 love score.

Obvi playing going on at the Meadow Brook contention that all of the men have It has not been a lack of quality but and Stevenson tallied once apiece, Therefore, it seems that another argument is advanced for the teamplay of Pedley over Webb. This man, "Mike" Stevenson, is surely getting down to his game. The stolid Scotsman is beginning to swing into the ball with a strength, vigor and accuracy which is remarkable. Very seldom these days does he make a missing stab at the hall. When he connects it is with smooth and easy motion which sends the ball arching far Into the distance.

Or perhaps he merKly turns it to a better position for one of his comoatriots. No matter. whatever he does is well done of late. Such a transformation as has come over the clever Stevenson is not so often seen In modern sport. He Is a hardy veteran at the game of polo and much of his best playing was done in the high fever of youth.

Some people might even say that he Is making a great comeback. The result of his endeavor has been to improve his game to a point higher than he was previously able to reach. Miiburn Never Has an Off-Day. SPEAKING of veterans, it is quite apparent that Devereux Mllburn has no nerves. Year in and year out the old faithful has clouted tha white wlllowVlth the same unerring form.

There Is no such thing as an off-day for Miiburn. How he manages to retain the same enthusiasm after 29 years of polo is a mystery. Most great athletes sicken of compe-tltlton when they have once reached the height of their career. Mllburn Is different, for he has been at the top of the polo world for 16 seasons. Yesterday proved no exception to the accepted fashion of Miiburn' playing.

He had the same old dtnff on the ball and knocked the sphere for the usual great distances. Such power is remrkable in a man 4 3 years of age. The general opinion Is that Miiburn will still he good enough to play In at least one more International following the present series. That would make him Bines Turned Loose Some Fancv Pnln.

This youngster is beginning to show signs of finally becoming one of America's great stars. This Hitchcock is a bearcat. Tommy has not received very much attention this season because he has been considered as a staple. That Is the reward for being a great player.

While a man Is gaining his reputation he receives plaudits from every one. After that he is expected to be remarkable. If lets up his ability there is an immediate cry that he is going back. Tommy seems to be getting better. His ropula-tlton is made, yet he continues to add to It.

(Special to The Eagle.) Babylon, L. Aug. 6 The cruis ing squadron of the Yacht Racing Association of Great South Bay ended its first day's run here this morning. More than 100 sail and power craft made up the fleet that came here from the Unqua-Corin- thian Yacht Club, where the rendez vous was held yesterday. It Is ex pected that about one-half that num ber will Join the fleet before the nnai run la held on Saturday.

Commodore Louis Smyth, presi dent of the Yacht Racing Associa tion, is in command. Ha was vcl coined here by a committee made up or Babylon Yacht Club members, which Included F. E. De Mannas, John Vanderveer, J. W.

Lawrenca and Commodore James R. Hyde. With Commodore Smyth was Fleet Captain George E. Rice and others ot his official family. There will be a regatta here this afternoon.

The yachtsmen are taking part In the ninth annual cruise and championship regattas of the Great South Bay Yacht Racing Association. As things are this summer the name Is hardly correct. Not only the association Include the yacht clubs on ureat South Bay, but it also in eludes the yacht squadron of the Westhampton Country Club that makes Its headquarters on Moriches Bay, and this year the Cedarhuist Yacht Club from Lawrence Inlet. No wonder the fleet is the largest that nas ever gathered for a Great South Bay yachting event. Next Port Is Bay Shore.

The fleet will leave here tomorrow morning on the second squadron run. The destination will be Bay snore, where another regalta v. ill be sailed. The third squadron run will be on Friday. It will take the fleet to Bellport Bay, where another race Is scheduled to be held in the afternoon.

Bellport Bay Is as far as the squadron will continue to the east ward. On Saturday the yachtsmen will move to the westward and will anchor off the Sayvllle Yacht Club, wnere the most important reeatta or tne week is to be sailed. Its im portance is due to the fact that the Association Special Prize Cup will be raced for next Saturday The fleet will disband on Saturday night An interesting feature of the cruise Is that all of the races are for sailing craft. This is unusual in these days of motorboats. In former cruises there has always been at least one or more races for screw-driven craft.

As these have never been either ex citing or particularly satisfactory, the race committee wisely delled not to arrange any motorboat races this year, i Yachts In the Fleet.

Those who remembei Gallett's marvelous showing in tb National Open at Inwood a year ago will understand why this graduate of the St. Andrews School appears the best bet to carry off Kline's title, Kline en Ragged ErTge. Poor "Kliney" can hardly defend his crown. After all, it is asking pretty much of a golfer to win fhr championships in a row. Kline has already garnered more than his fair share of the laurels.

Indeed he Is the only champion Long Island has ever had, having won the only two open competitions held since the or ganization of the L. I. O. A. Kltno's task, while not exactly hopeless, is a tremendous one.

since his total of 155 has left him exactly 10 strokes behind the leader. It is no part of a soft Job to spot an accomplished player such as Gallett is a 10-stroke margin witn only so holes left to go. Nothing le3.s chat two "70s" would be likely to pull "Kliney" through. Sympathy For Kline. Long Island golf fans will regret Kline's failure to make it "three straight." This modest, unassuming lad.

with his alert face and pleasant manner, had won his way into the hearts of local golf To the loyal members -of the Garden Citv Country Club Kline's failure to defend his title will be nothing less than a catastrophe. They swear by "Kliney" at Nassau blvd. Today the title seems to lie be tween Gallett, Jim Maiden, Jcok Dowling and Jimmy West, with George Heron accorded an outside chance. We do not feel that young Charley Rice, whose amazing 71 makes him the hero of the second round, will stand up under the gruel ling strain of the final 36 holes. Rice has covered himself with glery enough on his first appearance in a major tournament.

He is the most promising youngster to flare up in years. Gallett Looks Frail. Francis Gallett moved along smoothly yesterday afternoon until he struck the 16th hole. A 6 on this 280-yard layout, whore he schlaffed his drive off on a tangent, alone prevented hrm from duplicating Maiden's morning 68. Even aJ it was.

Gallett had a flat 70. indi eating the superlative quality of his play. Gallett is a thin, wiry little chap, whose slight build belles the length he secures off the tee. Gallett whips into the ball with much of the speed that characterizes Cyril Walker's swing. Like Walker, he uses a light club, depending on speed rather than mass to get the desired momentum Unlike the new open champion, now- "er.

Gallett wastes no time dllly dallying over his shots in that exasperating manner which causes opponents to groan inwardly. Gallett lj a quick, snappy player, Inclined to be nervous in his reactions. He has been well seasoned In the cruci ble of competition, however, and may be depended upon to make the moBt of the excellent strategic position he occupies at the start of the crucial third round. Gallett was utterly disgusted with himself when he failed to bettor 76 on the opening lap. "I've been playing this course for almost a week now," he exclaimed in his pleasing Scotch brogue, "but I never hit my shots as badly as I did today." Whereupon a couple of duffers promptly fainted and were revived with difficulty.

They had been under- the impression that 75 was rather fair shooting. Practice Did It. If Gallett wins this title, as now seems likely In view of his recognized steadiness, he can lay the credit to the hours of painstaking practice that he put In on the St. Albans course. This layout, by the way, while rather flat and uninspiring as regards terrain, Is severely over-trapped.

As one contestant tersely put it, "They had to sprinkle pits all over the place to keep the real golfers from shooting In the low Unlike the Engineers, which is blessed (or cursed, as you will) by natural hazards, St. Albans depends upon manmade bunkers for its terrors. Despite Its artificial character, however, the course is a sporty one and a good test of golf. Many of the greens are surrounded by serried sand traps, which loom up like dazzling white tombstones in the glare of the August sun. The symbolism Is appropriate at that, for many a championship contender found his grave in one of those sandy bunkers yesterday.

Maiden Weaken. It was a deep pit to the right of the home fairway that prevented Jimmy Maiden of Nassau from at least tying Gallett for the lead. When Stewart Maiden's brother tore off a blazing 68 in the morning he appeared to have the money prize for the best 36 holes In his vest pocket, but tired muscles took the toll in the afternoon round. Maiden was clearly fatigued when he came to the dog leg 12th hole late in the day. His drive found the rough and he rashly tried to cut through the grove of trees protecting the elbow.

His ball hit a tree, lodging between in wretched He. from whence he overhit the green. A 8 here cooked him. On the home hole, with a par 4 to tie Gallett, he sliced his drive to a trap, taking 3 to get home. A 40-foot putt would have earned Maldca a tie.

but his bold try failed to drop. The man who had made a 68 in the morning could not get a 78 in the afternoon. Rice a Sensation. Charley Rice, the 19-year-old boy, whose 76 71 for a total of 146 put htm in a tie for second place, Is assistant to Ernest Jones, the British; proiesBioimi, recently imported oy the Women's National Golf Links at Glen Head. Rice modestly attributes his success to the insplratlona.

teaching of Ernest Jones who is rated as one of the world's great Instructors. Under Jones' tutelage, the former Piping Rock caddy and club-maker has made remarkable progress. Rice's incoming card was a classic. Aftor reaching the turn in a rather sloppy S9, the blond youngster struck his best stride. Four 3s In succession he reeled off, to tho amazement of his partners.

At the 353-yard 10th, he was dead to the pin with a mashle-nlbllck pitch. The 11th Is a legitimate par 3. though one must crack a nice full iron cf 177 yards to reach the green. At the SL'fi yards. Rice holed putt of 12 feet for his birdie 3.

Another 3 fol lowed at the 230-yard 16th, where one must put one's shoulders into wood shot to make the green unless one happens to he an Emmet French and can defy distance with an iron. Thanks to Rice's extraordinary 82 coming in, he finished with a 71 Just one stroke behind Francis Gallett. We print below Rice's homeward Journey together with par for the final nine: Rica In i 8 I I I 4 Par In 4 1 4 4 4 I 41 Maiden's Great 68. Jimmy Maiden's scintillating 68 featured the first round of the cham pionshlp.

Jim is a grizzled wisp of a man, built on the frail lines of Cyril Walker. You wouldn't think that a chap who shot a 68 could have made many errors, yet Maiden was off the course on no less than six tee shots. In each case, how ever, he retrieved his mistake bril liantly, with a perfect recovery from trouble. The gods did not smile on Maiden despite his remarkable score. Four times his long approach putts rimmed the cup and failed to drop.

If those four putts had tumbled, it needs no mathematician to calcu late that Maiden would have had i 64. That would have been a mark to make even George Duncan sit up and take notice. A Permanent Fixture. Maiden has been at Nassau so long that he is considered part of the landscape. Nassau Club members keep Jimmy so busy giving lessons that the little Scotchman doesn't have much time to gad about at It's been a long while since Maiden's name was emblazoned in the headlines, but yesterday was Jimmy's day.

The dour little Scot didn't feel much like playing when he arrived at the first tee. His illness wore off when the birdies began to chirp. There Is nothing like few "birds" to drive away that "tired feeling," as every golfer knows. Maidens was a magic wand during that opening round, wafting the ball with almost monotonous regularity up close to the flag. Perhaps, if he had been driving stralghter, his approaches would have been off the line.

Only In Paradise can a golfer expect to have all his strokes going well at one and the same time. The Qualifiers. lat 2d To rd. rd. tale F.

Shotten to Succeed Rickey as Manager ACCORDING to reports from Houston, where Branch Rickey has been visiting or, a tour of Inspection of Jits farmed out players, the Cardinal manager indicated that he Is thinking of quitting the managerial end of the game to devote his entire attention to executive dullcs. He said that Bert Shotten would succeed him when the time comes that he wanted to leave the field.

Sholten la known ns Sunday manager of the Cardinals and has charge of the team wh'ii Klckey is away. it cannot decide on its final lineup. It Is hardly necessary to explain ously there has been a high class of Club here. So strong has been the reached the peak of their stroking. an abundance of excellent material which has made the selection so difficult.

Cochran Field was the scene yes terday afternoon of another furious match in the trial series toward finding the American four. Webb and Pedley continued their hostil-rties from opposite sides of the fenco once more. First the Whites used Pedley and outscored the Blues, 4 to 2, in four chukkers. Playing all additional four periods with Webb at No. 1, the Whites Just lied the Blues in the last stanza.

Honors Between Pair Are Even, HONORS were about even between "Elusive Eric" and "Wil- lnwv Watson." Young Eric Pedley. former Mldwlck Country Club star from the Pacific Coast, teamed up very well and aided greatly In thone first four periods. Then J. Watson Wehh rave of his smiting ability and enabled the Whites to tie the count in the last few minutes. There were many angles irom hirh to view the Play.

Pedley nlnved his usual highly colorful indi vidual game. but also combined very well with Tommy HitcncocK. in fact, he seemed to have lost his de sire to score alone. Every game has seen him placing his passes with greater accuracy and judging ot time. An average of his playing would be slightly higher than that shown bv Webb yesterday.

But consider Webb. Here he was on a weaker team, the Blues. Twice he managed to elude the wtttcniul Malcolm Stevenson and the wellnlgh Impregnable defense of Devereux Milburii. His handling of tho slants from the mallet of Earl Hopping was "ace hlgn. t'utting mm on mo Big Four stopped his scoring somewhat, but at the right moment ho was able to dash through and tie the score.

Pedley Tarns Odds In His Favor. REALLY the score of the Whites should have been jnuch better than a tie In four chukkers of com petition. Even adding the tally of the early chukkers, the final mark for the White would be 7, with tne Blue adding up to 6. Figuring the handicap aggregate of the eight men it would be something like this: The Whites carried 35 goals in the first half and the Blues were rated at 31. That makes a difference of 4, leaving the advantage of 2 as about right for a short game.

Changing Webb and Pedley made the Whites handicap 38 and placed the Blues only 28. Theoretically, the tentative four should have outscored the opposition by five goals In four chukkers. They did not gain an advantage and were only able to tie the count after trailing for a period. It Is consideration of this which seems to throw the odds for the day to Eric Pedley. Stevenson's Game Takes Big Brace.

goals scored yesterday, Webb got 3 and Pedley shot 2. But with Pedley, Hitchcock scored twice, Stev enson once and Hopping twice. And with Webb on the team, Hitchcock Maranville Tears Sunday Best in Kids' Ball Game AT the request of a Pittsburg newspaper Rabbltt Maranville recently attended a twilight game between two kid teams. There was a call for him from the crowd to plnch-hit when one of the teams got the bases full In the eighth inning. Rabbitt was attired in a natty civilian suit, but went up to the plate to satisfy the crowd.

He socked one to a far corner of the park good for a home run, but he had to slide to make the plate. Forgetting his attire, the little Pirate hit the dirt. When he cam up, much to his embarrassment, he found that he had ripped his trousers fore and aft.
