greatest athletic meet ever uelu ia

Several sites for the games are
being considered. The Motordrome,
Weequahic Park and Wiedenmayer'
Park are among them.
together 1t is arousing a lot of in
terest among sporting people in this
country. Only a short time ago polo
was confined to military circles, but
these international matches have put
it on a new footing, and will make
our chances better than ever by maxi
ing the standard of ponies higher and
by breaking down the barriers of
costliness and snobbishness."
Captain Lockett talks. with good
sense. He has a fighting, sporting
spirit in his conversation, and the
English enthusiasts are sure to take
heart after reading his interview.
The American team will be quite as
good as when it defeated England the
last time, and there is no good reason
to believe we are going to make a
runaway race of it, especially since
Captain Lockett has been heard on
the outlook.
C
Americas chances in the big anna
teur golf tourney. now on in England,
are very remote. 1t looked as If we
had a great show before the competi-
ton got under way. but Jerome D.
Travers, our best hope, was put out
of the running in the first round by
the champion of Ireland, and now,
today, Francis Ouimet, the sensa-
tional youngster is taken into camp
by another youngster, Young
Tubbs," the cable dispatches say. We
have one roaring good chance left
yet in Chick Evans, the Western
crack. but Evans is such an erratic
putter that he is likely to fall by the
wayside in a close match. However,
We live in hope. We sent our best
amateurs over across the pond in
the hope of bringing back the golf
! ing honors of England. The defeat
of Travers was an awful blow. At
match play he was looked upon as
nigh invincible, and even on the
strange English links Jerry was an
equal favorite with Harold Hilton,
believed to be the best man over
there. With Travers out and Ouimet
out, we are still pulling for Evans,
but with only faint hope of sue
cess.
Billy Murray, the California mid
dleweight, looks good, but whether he
! will be able to make good in his fight
tomorrow night with AL Mccoy, the
new champion, Is another question.
In his training stunts, Murray works
like a real fighter, and the opinion
of those who have seen him perform
is that he will make good with bells
on. 1t will be only a short time now
when the question will be answered,
row night with Mccoy at Billy Glib
sons Stadium A. c. Mccoy, who
gained the title by knocking out
George Chip, who held the champion
ship, is not looked upon with much
favor by the big men in the game.
He Is what is known as a "left-hand-
: ed fighter" and his record isn't much
to blow about. 1t may be, though,
that Mccoy is a real champion, and
that he will show 1t tomorrow night.
The consensus of opinion is that II
Mccoy whips Murray he will prove
himself a great fighter. and 2 worthy
king in his class. But the odds are
10 to that Murray will win on points
and even money that he will stop Nc
Coy inside of the ten rounds.
