A 14 i English Girl on Swimming Tour WW Australian Cup Players To Appear at Bay Ridge In Feature Exhibition By ALLISON DANZIG. EACH day play In the Metropolitan championships at the Crescent A. C. courts at Bay Ridge grows in interest with the announcement of additional features. On Sunday night, Charles Chambers sprang the news that he had Just received a wire from William T.

Tilden 2d, the national champion, stating that ho and his youthful protege, "Sandy" Wiener, wished to enter JJ 'iz the doubles championship. They were entered. Last night it was Edward Dlt-! mars' turn to hand out the surprise package. Hildreth Puts One Over on Hirsh Who Is Not On Watch to Guard Against a Thunderclap By V. C.

YREELAND. TWO souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one." Sam C. Hildreth, the trainer of the Kancocas horses, turned loose Thuuiiderclap In the White Plains Handicap and the big black gelding by Viikain lolloped the short six furlong course In 1:09. In that victory there runs a talc i-f shattered confidence and misplaced faith In the "form" of racehorses. Strange to say, this was entertained by Maxie Hirsch, the owner-trainer ho has distorted and twisted form in as many queer shapes as has Hildreth.

Put to think that it was served tip by a brother trainer oh-h-h-h-h, the heartbreaking agony of it all. The methods of some trainers arc very similar. They think It sport and good game to fool the patrons of tho track. But when the same thing Is handed to them it's an entirely different matter. They resent It bittcrlyi They have been deceiv-ed, with tho accent on the "ed." In the nierrymonth of May, likewise June, Thunderclap had been racing very much in the shape of that horse which was taken as a model to emphasize "no speed here" to advertise a certain cure for spavins, ringbones, osslets and a few other disturbances that tend to -bring a Man o' War down to the.

condition of a carthorse in the matter of speed. Thunderclap belled his name. There was nothing approaching a crash of pccd and ho never was greeted with a thunder of applause on his return to the scale. In fact he was so slow that many of his admirers thought that some Before A. J.

Glbney or any other member of the tournament committee had a chance to horn in, the man who controls the club's athletic activities, sidled over and whispered, "Guess what? The Australians are coming." This time it was a cable, Instead of a telegram, that Charley had received. In reply to his Invitation to Anderson to bring his gang over to tho Crescent Club, Anderson informed him from somewheres out on tho ocean that the Anzacs would le among thaso present ou Saturday, ready to take on the world's best As a result, a program of exhibition matches, in which the Klnseys wjtf probably take on Anderson and O'Hara Wood, or Patterson and O'Hara 'Wood, will be staged on Saturday, in addl-A Feature Matches Today In Met.

Then Thunderclap romped home with his first victory of tho season. Little Chief, tired as he was from racing Wishbone silly, beat out On Watch.

Whereat Maxie Hirsch couldn't understand how it was that he was served with some of the medicine that he had served the public. It was a case of Greek against Greek. Hirsch thinks he is smart, but learned yesterday that Hildreth can go him one better. As one man put it: "Hirsch was alert but lie was not on watch to check Hildreth." AN extensive tour has been arranged for Miss Hilda James, the 17-year-old girl who Is en-route to America from England to compete first in tho Joseph P. Day Cup race, the international long distance swim for women.

This classic will be held in New York Bay, from Manhattan Beach to Brighton Beach, next Tuesday afternoon, Aug. i. Fifteen dates have been assigned to tho foremost girl swimmer in Europe, and she will appear in nine cities on tho Jaunt, going as far west as New Golf Links on Cravath Estate At Locust Valley Will Entail Remarkable Engineering Feats tion to the official Davis Cup tryouts, I and Howard Vosheli, as chairman of the entertainment committee, has been notified to lay In a special extra stock of entertainment. Returns From Lconard-Temller Fight Thursday Night. As If announcement were not enough for one day, Mr.

Ditmars re marked incidentally that on Thursday night, when the club will. stage, as the evening's entertainment, a series of boxing bouts in its out-of-doors arena, returns from the Leonard-Tendler bout for the lightweight championship will be flashed on a screen. Thursday promises to be a big day at Bay ltidge. The unexpected downfall of rain yesterday upset the plans of the tournament committee to such an extent that It has been decided to postpone the beginning of the doubles tournament one more day in order to make it possible to bring the singles to a close on Friday. It is a man's size proposition to handle a fixture of the proportions of the one at Bay Ridge, with so large an entry list and with so many fine features to be run off.

It is Imperative that the singles be completed on Friday, as the Davis Cup tryouts and the Australian exhibition matches will engage every bit of interest on Saturday, and the tryouts and tho final of the doubles, which latter promises to be every bit as thrilling as the Davis match, will fill Sunday's program. Were all the players In the tournament as unmindful of weather conditions aB Zenzo Shimizu, the second round of the singles would have been completed last night. A few minutes after they had been called in from the courts because of the rain, the little brown man and his opponent, Cyrus G. Hill, went out. again and, despite the fact that the grass was heavily sodden, resumed where they had left off.

They had not playing more than two minutes when the rain, which had let up momentarily, came down again and soaked the two gladiators. They refused to retreat, however, until "Shimmy" had eliminated Hill in straight sets, with the loss of but two games. Davies and Washburn Feature. James Davies and Watson Washburn were engaged in what was by far the most interesting struggle ol the day when the elements interfered. The rallies in this match were of the sort that keeps a gallery up on edge.

Both men were hitting the ball hard and placing their shots with admirable judgment, seeking to earn their points in quick fashion. There was a. crisphess and decisiveness to the, stroking that characterizes only matches of national calibre. "Wash-buirn was kept on mettle every inch of the way and when the halt was called ho found himself on the short end of a 7 5, 1 0 score. Tho two will resume today.

Vincent Richards, the defending titleholder, was scheduled to. play two matches, but only one was completed by the time the weather man interfered. The junior champion, having drawn a bye in the first round, reached the third by defeating Chandler G. Burrows, member of the tennis committee. While it was apparent that the Yonke.rs youth was giving himself no great concern over the match, Burrows, who has had the distinction of taking a set from his younger opponent, made a very creditable showing and In the second set succeeded villainous person had clamped hobbles-1 on his feet.

But those suggestions rame from tho evil minded those liatrons of the track who are mean enough to say that the public ought to havo some protection from the rampant trainers who consider that qualifying Juveniles does not come under the head of obtaining money under false pretenses. Feeling that those trainers attend church with en easy conscience. Things Arc What They Seem. During this early period of racing, when Thunderclap was not much as racehorse, On Watch had frequently -finished In front of him. On tho strength of those performances On Watch appeared to be the master of Thunderclap.

So he was on the surface of things. But hidden away oh, well, you never can tell. To use the jingle of Pinafore: "Things are seldom what they seem, skimmed milk masquerades as cream." But the strange part of that "form" vis that Max Hirsch believed it genuine. He had forgotten that he had fooled the ractgoing public many times the same way and yet we find Mm here the guileless trainer who believed that Thunderclap's form consisted, as they say in the. dr.vgoods stores, "AS IS," and not "AS WAS." In other words he thought Thunderclap wasn't worth a plugged dime at the present time and overlooked the fact that he was once a mighty sprinter, not to mention a great rnce-Jicrse over a mile and a half and that lie may have been playing a prominent Iuit called "The Masquerader." And so It was that Hirsch gathered heart and made up his mind that On Watch could easily beat the Rancocas pair, which wore Thunderclap and little Chief.

On Watch is no longer the great horse lie was. He is afflicted with that dread disease known among horsemen as "touched in the wind." This prevents a racehorse from traveling very far, although ha may show some of his speed If the clay is dry and hot. That condition enables him to breathe morn freely than on a damp, raw day. It was good pnd hot at the Empire City track yesterday and that condition caused Illrseh to believe that it favored tho chance of On Watch. Hildreth Plajs But Hildreth kept mum.

He played possum on the boys. He let them think what they liked but he told them nothing. He was as mute as the Sphinx. Some, of the eagle eyed discriminating students of form thought they saw in Thunderclap's previous race sufficient speed to warrant the belief that his qualifying education was nearly at an end. They ltnew that the big' black horse also likes hot weather and th ho races better in the summer months than when his joints creak like a rusty hinge in the cold.

So b'am-n-el, feeling that. Dame Fortune was with him, now that the decision in the Playfellow case had been affirmed, decided to bet well on bis representative, knowing that Thunderclap, not to mention Little Chief, would not find a softer opponent to beat than On Watch. Many of the cither fast horses had been eliminated by scratching and Wishbone made up the quartet of starters. The race was the fastest short six furlongs of the season and equaled the time made by Tryster when he won. Little Chief attended to Wishbone while Sande on Thunderclap remained with On Watch.

It was the old Hildreth strategy that of starting two horses and placing the dangerous opponent between them. Sande. never let Thunderclap down and the big black gelding was in such good condition that without the slightest apparent effort he moved witt On Watch when Marinelli tried to overhaul the leaders. It was soon apparent that no matter what On Watch Patterson's Challenge Causes Stir in England (By Cable io The Brooklyn Eagle and Phila. Ledger; Copyright, 1922.) LONDON, July 25 Although the tennis authorities In England, who were considerably upset by Patterson's proposal to play Tilden for the "world's championship," threaten under their breath to refuse to recognize, the winner of such an event as a champion tennis player, it is generally thought the meeting may serve to bring new pressure by which the English right to claim the world's title for Wimbledon may be challenged.

Critics here of the tennis autliorities' stubborn determination to hold to their so-called rights point to the fact that for the. last eight years it has been the Invader who has captured the title and that It is time some recognition of that fact should be given. In this matter, as In many others, the lawn tennis authorities appear to be pursuing a will-o'-the-wisp," says one attacker. "They seem to be acting as If a high falutin title were of more value to English tennis than the annual visit to these shores of great overseas players. Wimbledon's most priceless possession is the good will of the overseas nation and its players.

From the complaints of foreign competitors this year we are heading for a day when we may no longer have that good will." Barrett Beas Welling. Philadelphia, July 25 Bobby Barrett, Clifton Heights, lightweight, won the popular decision over Joe Welling of Chicago in an eight-round bout last night at the Philadelphia American League Baseball Park. Welling out-pointed Barrett in the early rounds, but in the seventh Bar rett landed a hard right on the Chl-cagoan's head which slowed him up. The blow opened a gash over Weli-ing's left eye and he came back for the last round apparently weakened. Ho was groggy most of tho final round and the bell found him holding to savo himself further punishment.

Raynor gave to The Eagle today a brief description of how he will lay out the course, which will reproduce some of the famous holes on Scottish courses and several noted ones in America. The course will have a length of about 6,100 yards and its layout will be such that in future years an adjoining strip of land to the north of tho Cravath estate can be added to the present holdings and converted into another 18-hole course, giving a full championship lay-out. The plans for the 18 holes are as follows: No. 1 Drive and a brassle, about 380-400 yards, modeled after the 17th or road hole at St. Andrews, Scotland.

No. 2 Drive and pitch, about 340 yards, modeled after the first hole, National Goif Links. No. 3 345-360 yards. No.

4 About 160 yards, copy of tho Eden or 11th hole at St. Andrews. No. 5 Drive and pitch, 300-340 yards, cape effect on green. No.

6 Punch bowl hole, modeled after tho Mountain Lakes punch bowl hole, Florida, about 400-440 yards. No. 7 Long hole, 500-540 yards featured by a. knoll from which may bo had a full view of Long Island Sound. No.

8 190 yards, modeled after Iledan at North Berwick. No. 9 400 yards, after tho Alps hole, Prestwick and tho 3rd at the National. No. 10 Levcn hole, after the 17th hole at the National, directly on the shore along the Sound, 300-330 yards.

No. 11 Biarritz, 200-220 yards, on an island, reached by bridge. No. 12 Drive and pitch, up hill, 320 yards. No.

1 3 Dog-leg hole constructed around creek, Redan shape green, 400-yard hole, 3 shots to play, arranged with tide gate. No. 14 Dog-leg hole, second shot across green up on elevation, 415 yards. No. 15 330-350 yards, double plateau green, located on knoll.

No. 16 360-380 yards. No. 17 Short hole, down hill, similar to sixth hole at National. No.

18 400 yards, uphill, large plateau, green after first green at the old Shinnecock hills course. So far as the club itself is concerned it is just now only in the organization stages, and within the next few weeks will definitely arrange its plans regarding its future existence.

The friend had never played but he was a keen observer, and, after watching the golfer explore the bowels of the earth with his irons on several holes, he exclaimed: "Why do you renig and refuse to follow suit?" "My dear fellow," said the player, "that is not golf language. You talk as if this were whist." "Well, it mayiot be whist." said the other, "but you are certainly playing a spado when you ought to play a club." mile to the Sound shore, rolling country of great beauty. It was laid out as a well planned country estate, the main driveway bordered with huge beech trees and plantings of trees and shrubbery in artistic arrangement all about the place.

This marsh land is to be filled in with earth from other parts of the estate. One of tho holes will be constructed on an island on the shore and a bridge will be erected leading from the mainland. A tide gate will be constructed which will prevent the depredations of the water on another one of the holes.

Danielson, who has been putting in one of to best seasons of his career on courts and who reached the flflh round of the Brooklyn championship, forced the collegian to give of his very best at all tljnes, and In the second set ran the score to 9 7.

Taylor will come up against either Davies or Washburn in the fourth round and will have another opportunity to show hl3 best wares. Cedric Major gained a fine victory in defeating William Rosenbaum. It takes first class playing to subdue the "doc" and that is what Major put up In winning at 6 1, 4 6, 6 2. He handled Rosenbaum's fast backhand drives with a minimum of errors and scored himself on forcing shots that were got off so quickly that his opponent found it difficult to get within striking distance of the ball.

I simply get as much sleep as I think I need, eat what I like although I do not eat much before a hard match and generally I try to forget that I am preparing for anything in particular. I firmly believe that most training wears, because a girl gets an entirely exaggerated Idea of the importance of the training and of the match; she gives away to nerves.

I think that a set or two in the morning, with possibly some practice of individual strokes, and two or three hard sets in the late afternoon, will put anyone into proper condition, and that the off time had best be spent in doing something entirely unconnected with tennis, which takes one's mind entirely off the game and the coming match. The normal girl needs none of the ordeals of the prize fighter. The general average needs only the development of endurance and the mlnimtza-s. tlon of "nerves," and this result is bestN to be gained by a perfectly natural life with a fair amount of tennis. I thoroughly believe In the European system of training, and I think the girl who "trains hard" may hurt both her game and herself.

THE END. Kddie Walsh Sr. was one of the greatest pitchers that ever wore tfie livery of the Chicago White Sox. As a spitball pitcher he had few equals. At the present time he is a member of Ban Johnson's staff of umpires, in the American League.

Young Ames, who Is 15 years old, is striving to perpetuate the fame of his father." He has been the star twirler for the Warren (Ohio) Orioles and Athletics for the past two seasons, letting the opposition down with one and two hits on many occasions, lie is considered the biggest sensation in Warren baseball circles since the day 3 his father, Dode Paskert and Terry Turner starred on diamonds at that place. The youngster has the same style of delivery that enabled his father to remain in the big leagues for 15 years. He looks like his dad, red hair and all. Young Walsh is also displaying tne brand of ball on the mound which made his father a terror to batterj for a number of years. Like Ames, he has all the traits of his never-to-be-forgotten dad.

Do Not Be Doivn Too Fine When You Start to Play in a Tennis Tourney 1 1 Chief Danger in Training in the Direction of Too Much Work, Because a Tournament Requires a Great Amount of Endurance and if Overtrained You May Crack in the Deciding Set. A Paying Hullabaloo. Usually whenever the Irish start a hullabaloo nobody suffers but the police and nobody protlts except the glaziers. But there are some irirn glory be, who can turn a hullabaloo into something worth while and in the shape of profit. This proved to be the case in the Arrow Stakes, selling affair worth $2,035.

William C. Clancy decided that tho Arrow Stakes was well named because he could shoot a dart into the pockets of the layers that would rip their purse strings wide open If he aimed straight and true. He decided that Hullabaloo, the big brown gelding by Peter Pan which he had purchased from Harry Payno Whitney, was the one wnn which to do the trick. Clancy trained Hullabaloo cherry ripe unknown to the layers and their dockers and then proceeded his raid on the mem ory brokers. He and his friends backed the horse from as high as 15 to 1 down to 8 to 1 at post time.

The Marrone pair, Whisk and Daydue, were the favorites. But when it came to racing, Hullabaloo, to use an Irish saying, "gave them the foot" and speo away from them from the start, leading to the finish. The Marrone pair finished second and third, Daydue and Whisk holding down those positions at the end. It was a cleanup such as has not been put over in some time. McAtee.

who rode Hullabaloo, rode his second winner of the afternoon when Emotion landed in front. Me thought he would put three over during the afternoon by riding Louise Groody. the winner of the opening race. But during the progress of the race, when she wan running second, she was jumped on and so badly cut down that she finished last. Louise Groody was a flue-looking Ally, and it's quite likely that uer racing days are over.

Emotion won the concluding event easily from Bonus, to which she conceded 10 pounds and an additional five-pound beating. It was Emotion's first start since her defeat in the American Oaks at Belmont Park. At that time, as was explained to the readers of The Eagle, she was a member of the Society of the Love Lorn Sisters. But since then she has thought better of that secret organization and resigned. Being free to show her best speed, she did so yesterday and won with considerable speed In hand from Bonus, which made all the running until the last furlong.

Many of the racegoers have already departed for Saratoga, which open's Tuesday. Aug. 1. Many will leave for the Spa on Sunday. The rank and tile, however, will not go until Monday, when they will climb aboard the "Cavanagh Special," hich leaves Grand Central Terminal at 1:30 p.m..

railroad time. The "Cavanagh Special" has been part and parcel of the racing meeting at the. Spa for many years. It usually pulls out in two sections. Up to date one section has already been taken up by (he faithful army of racegoers.

It is a good way to go to the Springs, because it is a quick through run and the train arrives at its destination shortly after 6 o'clock. him on the necessary edge for Tcndler, who for more than a year has been acclaimed the logical contender. Feeling so positive of himself, Leonard has signed for a fourth bouth. with Ever Hammer, a lad who has brought out a two-tisted name for himself in the Middle West. This bout probably will be held at Michigan City, Aug.

5. Leonard speaks slightingly of Tender's pugilistic ability. Ho holds Tcndler cheaply, he says, because the Philadelphia's record doesn't impress him. He avows that Tendler has been floored so often by men lacking a genuine punch and that Tendler doesn't tote the wallop that Leonard has demonstrated that ho carries in both hands. He grants Tendler aggressiveness and a certain amount of cleverness, hut withholds the label "championship caliber." The champion has worker out every dav since coming here with throe sparring partners: Mike Carnier, a tall, long-armed 1 50-pounder: Johnny Martin, who has battled Tendler.twice, and Sammy Berne, a fleet, shifty 1 3(i-pounder who puts fisht into his sparring.

Leonard goes either two or three rounds with them in succession every afternoon and then shadow boxes. There is no change of style evident in Leonard's workouts, but those who hare watched him will not be surprised if he alters his tactics by devoting more time in the arena to Tend-ler's neck and beltline than above the shoulders. Tendler's big asset is getting inside his opponent's guard and raining short, steaming crushers that dig into the stomach. At Tendler's Camp. Delano, N.

July 25 At the Tend ler camp today it was said that thej Philadelphia lightweight was in fine fettle, with the prospect of stepping into the ring next Thursday night In the best condition of his career. His sparring partners declared the workouts yesterday that tlnv had never known him to be in better shape. Tendler expects to continue his strenuous daily grind up to the day of tho bout Short road hikes will wind up. his traiuing. (Staff Correspondence of The Eagle.) LOCUST VALLEY, L.

July 25 Noted as Long Island Is for its famous golf courses, its fame is to be immeasurably increased within the next year by the addition of one of the finest courses to be built in tho United States, and one in which the construction will involve some of the most unique engineering feats ever accomplished In laying out a links where pleasure is to bo tho main object. This new course, work on which has just been started, is to be located in Locust Valley on what at one time was "Veraton," the vast estate of Paul D. Cravath, overlooking Long Island Sound and the Connecticut hills. Mr. Cravath some years ago had his country home on this big estate and it burned down.

The house with which he replaced the original ono met a like fate. Discouraged over what seemed to bo a double close of misfortune, Mr. Cravath built another home in tho Piping Rock section of Locust Valley, and sold Veraton, with its 10 acres of marvelous country, and its crumbling ruins of a once fine mansion to a syndicate of wealthy men who have country homes in tho north shore section. This was about four years ago and it was the original intention of the syndicate to convert the big tract into a very high class residential colony, with the erection of several country homes to be sold or leased to desir able neighbors. The plan was eventu ally abandoned and instead uie oig estate, occupying an eminence of ground in the heart of the millionaire colony, is to be converted into the finest golf course in America.

In addition to this there is to bo erected on tho sito of the former Cravath mansion, a magnificent clubhouse, the plans for which are not yet fully completed. Ready Next July.
