wanted to shout to the operator to

Then l saw a reel picture of the
famous worlds championship contest
in which Jack Johnson beat Tommy

movements of the two adversaries

out Stanley Ketchel, after having
himself been floored.

OF Mr.. Ouimet so much has already
been said that it is almost impossible
to add anything by mere words, his
wonderful performance on the links
of the Brookline Country Club, when
he first tied with the worlds greatest
players in the professional ranks, and
then beat them both in a single
handed match, thereby being the first
amateur to win the title of open
champion of the United States, speaks
more for his ability as player Of the
first rank than anything that all the
historians of the game could chronicle
in their writings.
Herreshoff Entered, Too.
In addition to the above mentioned
players the United States will have
some other strong representatives who
will be liable to spoil the champion
ship aspirations of many Of the lead
ing PLAYERS on the other side if they
get their games going. Among them
will be Fred Herreshoff, who has for
several years been one OF the most
prominent golfers in the United
States, having been runner up in the
national championship, and also the
winner Of the Metropolitan title, In
addition to showing prominently in
NoNeA
too numerous to enumerate. Mr.. Her
reshoff sailed on the Baltic some
three weeks ago in company with
Mr.. Travers, so they will have plenty
of time to get into top form before
the tournaments commence.
OF the other we'll known golfers
who will tee UP at Sandwich, F. W
Whittemore, of the Brookline Coun-
try Club, is probably the best known
Mr.. Whittemore has been one Of the
strongest players in the Boston dis
trict for many years, and has also
shown up well in the championships
and in open tournaments throughout
the country, more especially on the
Southern links, where he has dis
played great form the past winter
Mr.. Whittemore has not yet reached
England, but as he has already been
here on several previous occasions he
is well acquainted with the conditions

NEW YORK, April Thames
Kolehmainen, the great Finn runner,
will return to Finland some time in

a natural desire to see his mother

Another important reason for his
return TO the other side is 10 prepare
himself for an assault on the hour

runner Jean Boulin. Kolehmainen
will, in all probably, make his effort
TO eclipse the Frenchman's great per-

established the present record on July
last.

him in his selection OF a successor to

II Is said that the chairman of the

has served notice on President Wilson
that disaster win overtake the admin
istration IL he permits II TO be con-
nected with the Hennessy-Roosev
campaign against Giynn and Gerard.
There Is suspicion OF the truth of
this statement. because Il comes from
Tammany authority. Unless Mr..
McCombs has been contaminated by
forced association with some of the
corrupt Tammany leaders. we cannot
believe he has done as charged.
There is. on me other hand, some
eircumstantiai evidence that leans
that way. II is the truth that the ad-
ministration Is backing Hennessy aud
Roosevelt for the gubernatorial and
Senatorial nominations. II is doing
80 most openly. President Wilson, in
the early months of Governor Glynn's
term. was favorable to that Official.
who professed a desire to rehabilitate
the Democratic party Of New York by
the elimination OF the Murphy infiu.
ence. The task was attempted. but
met with failure. as Glynn's future
action showed his Official actions
were still subordinate 10 Tammany
dictation. Whether or not Mr.. Nc
Combs stated the administration was
facing disaster by opposing Tamma-
ny. Il is the truth, because that or
ganization stands in New York in the
same defective relation to the Demo
cratic party as the Progressives bear
TO the Republican party-only more
so. because II is a stronger dissenting
element. though not for the same rea.
sons.
II is somewhat singular that Presi-
dent Wilson. bearing the vigorous an
mostly he is credited with towards
Tammany, should have appointed so
close a friend of Boss Murphy as
James w. Gerard TO the important
post OF Ambassador to Germany. and
who is now brought out by Tammany
to oppose the alleged personal selec-
ton Of the President for the Senator
