NO GOLF SENSATIONS.
Little Prospect of 0uimet's Example
Being Emulated.

NEW YORK. August s.-There is
scant hope that any one among the
American amateur golfers will be able
to emulate the example of Francis Out
met in the national open championship
last fall in defeating such sterling pro-
fessionals as Harry Nardon and Ed
ward Ray in a play-off for the Ameri-
can title In the first place such a play
off is rare indeed Then. it is an event
of lifetime for an amateur to beat a
professional Of renown, to say nothing
of two. In the third place there is not
likely to be any British professionals
in the American open this year
Earlier in the season there was the
chance that George Duncan. James
Braid or J. H. Taylor might cross the
Atlantic to compete for the crown that
Vardon and Ray failed to obtain. Late
developments. however. indicate that
none of these men will appear

Crew of Cup Defense Candidate vani-
tie Is Well Trained.

NEW YORK, August s.-If the bronze
sloop Vanitie is not picked to defend the
Americas cup it will not be because her
crew isn't in the best possible trim Phy-
sIcally the men will be in the form some
times reached by foot ball and athletic
teams. They will be able to go through
the long, exhausting cup trials without
feeling the fatigue that would handicap
them if they had not been put through the
proper training.
Physical Director Rauscher, who was
placed in charge of the men by Alexander
smith Cochran, owner of the yacht, when
she went into commission. today said the
men of the racing crew were a seasonad
set of athletes According to the director.
they are about as hardened and capable
crew as ne has ever seen. He is a
man OF experience, as for fifteen years he
was in charge OF the gymnasium of the

BANNOCKBURN GOLFERS
START AUGUST TOURNEY
Gus Worthington and Dr.. Taylor
Turn in Best Gross and
Net Scores.

The August tournament of the Ban
nockburn Golf Club was started yester-
day afternoon with more than forty
players out. This months event is
different from that of last The com
mittee in charge gave every entrant q
handicap, classified them all into six
teens and made them draw for their
partners. They then played eighteen
holes. medal play, for two golf clubs
put up as prizes, one for the best gross
and the other for the best net score.
This was done primarily for the handi-
cap committee SO that it can get a
line on the relative ability of the play
ers. At the same time, the entrants
were paired off and played their first
round of the tournament, but played
at medal instead of match play.
Gus Worthington. with a gross eigh-
ty-one, twelve handicap, net sixty-nine,
won the low gross score prize and tied
with DIR. Taylor. whose card was S2-l3
SO, for low net. As a player can
win but one prize, he took the gross
score one and DR.. Taylor was given the
other.
The second round at match play will
be decided this week.

Best Crowd of Season.

Such brilliant program brought out
the best crowd since the opening of the
present racing season, and there was
more enthusiasm than has been seen on
the Saratoga lawns at any time since
the heyday of the sport at the springs.
The brilliant performance of Roamer
was the occasion for long applause
after the little bay returned to the
scales, and Regrets victory also Was
applauded

he ran up and bought Mack b. Eu-

GoLFING HINTS.
BY .sTRAIGHT DRIVE,

DON'T PRESS. tbs is a
trite bit of advice which forms
an integral part in every book
on golf that has ever been writ
ten Yet every one who has
ever achieved any success at the
game knows that he must hit
hard and true to win.
What the tutors try to express
is advice for the novice who tries
to hit the ball with every pound
of strength he can apply and
thus loses the evenness of his
whole stroke.
1t is essential that you hit the
ball firmly with the greatest
amount of speed that you can
get without resorting to a bodily
heaye. This defeats the whole
purpose of the true golting
stroke and will perhaps prove
disastrous, not only to the shot.
but to the club if 1t comes in
contact with the ground.
The long hitters, by practice or
natural skill. get great power
and speed into their stroke. The
average player should not try to
initiate the expert until he is
absolutely sure of the control of
his swing.

SUBURBAN TENNIS LEAGUE.
Standing of the Clubs.

Both tournaments in the Suburban Ten
mis- League yesterday were closely con-
tested Petworth on its own courts de-
feating Princeton Heights four matches
to three, and the Bened.cts on their
courts losing their tournament to the
Holmead racqueters by the same figures.
The play of Noetzel of the Benedicts was
far and away the feature OF both
contests and was surpassed only by that
trict champion doubles team. Noetzel's
getting has so far been the feature of
all the tournaments in which he has
participated and. coupled with Lesh, a
very strong doubles team results. Rob-
inson and Gable lost hard-luck
match to Bentley and James. The Bene-
dict players lost the first and took the
second, but, with the score o-3 in their
favor in the third set. they seemed to
lack the deciding punch. At least a
dozen times it was point match" in their
favor Bentley and James fought hard,
finally deucing and eventually taking the
deciding set.
The work of Herman and Rose in both
doubles and singles was the bright spot
of the Petworth-Princeton Heights af-
fray The final set of the day was the
doubles between FosterTrott and Erwin
Hixson, and with the tournament at that
time tied at three-all in matches, it was
bitterly fought from the outset. Each
pair got a set, and finally, after eighteen
games of excellent tennis. replete with
fast rallies and good net work, the home
pair won out, giving their club the dec1d-

\ member Of one OF the teams in the
post-season series has this to say re-
garding the ability OF Downey. who will
pitch for Treasury, champion team OF
the Treasury League:
THAT fellow Downey is the hardest
pitcher I have faced this year. ] tell
you he is liable to fool some Of these
fellows in the post-season series. He has
lot of smoke and a good curve ball,
and better than all that he knows some
thing OF how to pitch. Any time you
face him you must keep thinking as well
as being ready for anything he may
send up.
As matter of fact, Downey owes a
great deal Of his effectiveness to his ex-
perience in professional ball. He has
plaved with the Brooklyn Club in the
National League. though not as pitch, en-
for that team for quite awhile. and that
being the case he really - SHOULD isas,na know no,
