THE PAST SEASON RECORD BREAKER

playing steady, consistent golf through
out the tournament upset all the calcu-
lations of the experts and smashed the
worlds rec I'd for ~ holes, medal play,
five strokes better than the previous
record made by Alex Smith of Chica-
go. Sargent played the steadiest game
ever put up by a professional golfer
in this country, and from beginning to
end his game varied but little.
Another dark horse won the amateur
championship at Wheaton, Ill.,, on Sep
tember II, when Robert E. Gardner of
Hi'lsdale, a 19-year -old Yale sopho-
more, went through the field of high
class contestants like breeze, and in
the finals defeated the former title
holder, H Chandler Egan of Exmoor,
up, to play, for the title. In the
third round of the tournament. in
which there were over 100 entries,
Gardner downed the skillful veteran,
Jer me T. Travis, and in the semi fin
ais took the measure of Mason E.
Phelps a former western title holder.
In the womens championship at
Philadelphia on October 8. Miss Dor
othy Campbell of Scotland won the til
tie when she downed Mrs. Ronald HI.
Barrows of Philadelphia in the finals
after a week IF close and exciting golf.
All the American women players fell
before the golfing skill of the Scotch
woman, and she showed remarkably
fine golf.

number Of races are to be decided. The
principal one is for the challenge pen
nant of America, open to third class
yachts only, on the Shrewsbury river,
New Jersey. The race is scheduled to
take place Jan s. This trophy is now
in possession of the North Shrewsbury
club, having been captured from the
South Shrewsbury club three winters
ago. In 1907 the pennant race was
won by the Drub. The following win

orally believed by the ice yachting
enthusiasts that the Imp would prove
as fast as the Drub. but they were

of two great thoroughbreds, Salvador
and Tenney Salvador held the world s
record of 1861 for straight-awa
! mile, made at Monmouth Park in 1899.
Banner Year for Baseball.
Never before has the game of base
ball enjoyed such popularity and pros
perity as during the past year. Both
of the major leagues, the National and
American, gained financially on other
seasons, and the standard of playing
was high. The one sad note in the sea-
sons doings was the untimely death in
August of President Harry G. Pulliam
of the National league. Secretary and
Treasurer John A. Heydler was elected
president to fill out the uneXpired
term The recent baseball election
saw Thomas j. Lynch of New Britain,
Conn, elected to the presidency with
Mr.. Heydler reelected to his old posi-
ton of secretary and treasurer. New
York won no honors, but the city turn
, ed out the largest patronage in the
history of the game.
The Smoky City team took the lead
early in the season and won the pen
;ofo nd fo
percentage of 1924; Chicago was sec
ond with percentage of $50 and
New York third place in the race with
a percentage of .601.
The premier batsman of the National
league was Hans Wagner, the Pitts
! burg shortstop, who added another
season of triumph on the diamond t.
his long list. Wagner had batting
average of 339, making 1913 hits for a
total of ZAP bases. The Te-ton slug
ger hit the ball consistently all season.
and his stick work seldom fell off, and
played an important part in Pittsburg' s
winning the championship. He stole
IS bases and had 5 home runs. The
! New York team had three batters in
the 800 class-Seymour. Doyle and
Snodgrass. New York was second in
! team batting, with an average of .254
] and was third in run getting.
Detroit Clubs Third Pennant.
The American league pennant was
won by Detroit for the third time. II
was a close, exciting race in this league
between Detroit and Philadelphia.

ENTRIES CLOSE IN
BOWLING TOURNEY

Canton. and. in fact, from nearly all
the bustling cities in this state seem
to indicate that big delegations will
come from these places. Jack Sell,
the president of the state association,
SAYS that he expects Cleveland alone
to send twenty five-men teams here
The slogan in Youngstown is to
make this tournament the best ever
held in the state. Since the amend
ment was passed by the state associa-
tion's executive committee allowing
all cities within a radius of fifty miles
of the state line to enter teams, this
slogan should be realized.

fourth and Columbia in last place.
The Yale Harvard regatta at New
London on July 2. resulted in an over
whelming victory for the Crimson oars
men, who took all three events-'yar
sity eight, varsity four-oared and
freshman eight. Harvard had a we'll
coached, formidable crew, and they won
the race from Yale by six lengths in
21:5O. The other two races were won
by Harvard by comfortable margins.
Yale Best in Football.
The mastery of Yale on the gridiron
is an old story, but the team at New
Haven this year was perhaps the best
organization since Gordon Browns
famous team of 1900. 1t is many
years since the game of football as
played by American colleges has seen
such a powerful, skillful warrior as
Capt. Ted Coy of the Yale eleven
Handicapped in the early season by
serious illness, he rounded into form,
and in the Princeton and Harvard
games showed a playing ability and
generalship which stamped him as one
of Yale's greatest players. Coy was
great ground gamer and an unusually
fine fullback. At New Haven on No
vember IL Yale swept Princeton off
re- nd NV 70
A week later at Cambridge against
the powerful Harvard eleven the Blue
again won, to 0. And it was the in
dividual work of Coy as much as any
thing else that figured in the result
The Yale eleven went through the sea
son with a remarkable record Not Il
team crossed it's goal line, and in fact
no eleven was able to get within it's
20-yard line throughout the season
Yales claim for first honors on the
gridiron was undisputed. Harvard,
with a remarkably strong defensive
team, conquered all opponents except
Yale, and ranks second among the
seasons elevens. Michigan perhaps,
has the best team in the west.
Soccer football has gained in pop
ularity and the visit of the Pilgrim
team of England attracted much at
tention to this style of play. Several
of the large colleges went in for the
game on a larger scale than ever be-
fore, and on the Pacific coast the game
is played almost exclusively.

carded to be held on Lake Champlafn'

"Dark Horses" Won ir Golf.

During the year there were many
surprises on the golf links. DARK
horses won beth the amateur and pro-
fessional national championships, and
in the Womens championship Scotch
lassie came over from the highlands
and took the title away from America
George Sargent, a golfer who has been
in the country but three years, and
who was pupil of Harry Warden, won
the national open championship at En-

Tyrus Cobb of Detr it led the league
for batting and base running with a
batting average of .377.
The series of seven games for the
worlds championship between the
Pittsburg and Detroit teams aroused
a whole country Of baseball enthusi-
asts. and the attendance established a
record in baseball for the seven games.
It was a see-saw battle, first one team
willing, then the other. Pittsburg had
a sensation in Adams, the minor league
pitcher, who won the first, fifth and
seventh games of the series. outpitch-
ing the Detroit veterans, Mullin and
Donovan. Pittsburg showed that it had
compact reliable baseball machine.
the only weak place being the first
base. Ty Cobb. the Detroit batsman,
failed to show anything unusual in the
series. while Wagner was timely and
cpportune in his batting, fielding and
base running. 1t was basebalps great
est year, and it not only has won the
confidence and admiration of people all
over the country but received the Of

Tinted States who attended some of
the games during the seas"n
The intercollegiate baseball season
was interesting. Yale winning first
honors, defeating Harvard in series
of two out of three games A notable
performance on the baseball diamond
was a game between the Bloomington
and Decatur teams of the Three ]

record continuing 26 innings and re-

and 20 minutes.

Meadow Brook Polo Victory.

One of the most notable athletic vic
tories OF the year for the United States
was the triumph of the Meadow Brook
polo team in England, when they re-
gained the international polo trophy
after England had held possession Of it
for 23 years The American team was
made up of Lawrence Waterby, Harry
Payne Whitney, Devereaux Milburn,
and j. M. Waterbury. The English
players were U. H. Rich, F. M. Freake,
P w. Nickalls, and Capt. Hardness
! Lloyd The final match was played at
birmingham on July 6, and the Ameri
can team won by a score of goals to
2. English polo critics admitted that
the American players were the most
skillful team that had ever been seen
: on a polo field in England. Winning
back the cup for this country after
| % years naturally excited much admir-
alton for the Meadow Brook team
among polo enthusiasts in this coun-
try.
Swimming.
The New York Athletic clubs re-
markable swimming expert, Charles M
Daniels, threatened records every time
| he went into a race, but of all his great
| performances during the year the one
which stands out most prominently is
his contest at Verona lake, Verona, N.

worlds swimming record for mile,

ord and going the distance in 26:1 10 3-5.
He used a trudgeon and crawl stroke,

bv more than 14O yards at the finish.
On January Daniels broke the worlds
record for the 22O-yard swim, going the
distance in 2:30, which was over O:O2
3-5 better than the best previous mark
All of his performances during the year
were noteworthy.
