SEEK METROPOLITAN TITLE.
Crack Pro Golfers to Compete a,
Garden City This Week.

NEW YORK, July 10 The metro
politan open championship at Garden
City on Thursday and Friday is the
big golf event of this week. Profess
SIGNALS from all over the country are
heading for this city in the hope of
displacing Gil Nichols from his high
position. Many of the prominent
eastern pros" who neglected to make
the long journey to Minikahda for the
national open tournament will take
their clubs 10 Garden City in an effort
to show that it was the inconvenience,
and not a distrust of their golfng
ability, that kept them from Minne-
apoiis.
Gil Nichols of Great Neck will, of
course, be on hand to defend his title,
but as the metropolitan open title has
been won two consecutive times by a
single player only once since its in
ception. namely, by Alec Smith in 1909
and 1910, Nichols is not an odds-on IA
vorite for the championship. Mac
Donald Smith. former metropolitan
open champion, who won the title at
Scarsdale in 1914, incidentally break
ing the worlds record for seventy-two
holes with score of 27s. expects to
enter the Garden City event, and has
serious designs on the title. Alec
Smith is doubly busy with Shenes-
cossett and Wyagyl on his hands, but
he also expects to take part in the
discussion.

tional open to Jerry TraverS at Bal

FOR SINGLES TROPHY
California Comet May Enter Ma
tional Championships to Win
Title Outright.

NEW YORK. July 10.-Officers of the
National Tennis Association and fol-
lowers of the court game in general
are watching with unusual interest the
tuning up progress of Maurice E. Nc
Laughlin in the expectation that the
famous California racquet star will
make a final effort at the coming ma
tional championships to win outright
the singles bowl. emblematic of the
title. The Comet" already holds two
legs upon the trophy and needs but
one more victory to clinch possession
and add the bowl to his large collec-
ton of prizes won in all parts of the
world.
The present bowl. massive silver
urn, is the eighth of the series offered
by the U. S. N. L. T. A. and was put
into competition in 1911. W. A. Larned
won 1t the first year and Mclaughlin
championship in 1912 and 1913. The
following season he fought his way to
the final round only to be defeated by
r. Norris Williams. and last year. after
playing through the tournament, ne
lost to William Johnston. AS result
Larned. who is out of championship
play, Williams and Johnston each have
one leg on the trophy. while McLaugh-
lin has two and needs but one more to
gain permanent possession.
High-Class Field.
From present indications the famous
internationalist will face hard field
when he takes the court at Forrest
Hills. L. l., next month. In addition to
Williams. Johnston and other leaders
in the tennis ranking, there will be the
two Japanese players. Kumagae and
Mikami. as well as several of the
younger experts who are rapidly ap-
preaching the first rank.
Much. Of course, will depend upon the
position secured by Mclaughlin in the
draw. Should he be fortunate enough
to be placed SO that his progress to the
semi final round is comparatively easy,
he can conserve his strength for the
final drive. If, on the other hand, he is
forced to meet a number of ranking
players in the preliminary rounds he
may reach the finals in the same weak
ened, physical condition which was so
apparent a year ago.
Johnston also showed the strain of
his tennis campaign late last fall and
was ordered by his physician to rest
for several months This spring he has
complained of soreness in his racquet
arm. but it Is expected that he will be
east to defend his title. r. Norris Will
liams. the other former champion. has
played but little tennis to date. but is
understood to be taking a special
course of training in order to be At for
the national championship tournament,
so that it can be seen that Mclaughlin

M'DERMOTT'S BAD BREAK
Clever Pro Golfer Made Remark
That Proves Disastrous
to Himself.

The name of ]. ]. McDermott was in
cluded among the entries for the re-
cent open championship at Minneap-
oils. but the former champion did not
turn up to play. His case is a deplor-
able example of the perverted concep-
ton placed on a chance remark, which
was not necessarily insult The
situation was this: When the two ia
nous British. pros. Nardon and Ray,
made their visit to this country in
1918. the only tournament in which
they competed besides the national
open at Brookline was the Shawness
open This event was won by McDer-
mott. and at the close of play Vardon
made the remark that he (McDermotD
was the greatest pro in America. and
one of the greatest living.
On the presentation of prizes some
one called for speech from McDer-
mott. and the latter spoke. saying a
trife boastfully that he was glad to
have been able to prove conclusively
that America had produced players who
to send. Of course. this speech need
not have been made, and, indeed, II
did not form the major portion of his
remarks on that occasion.
Caused Storm of Protest.
The newspaper men present agreed
not to report the incident. but doubt
less one of them, inspired by the zeal
of beating his competitors, published
the remark. with the result that
through the country storm of protest
arose against the unsportsmanlike
Speech Of ticDermOtt
The president of the L. S. G. a. wrote
a sharp letter to the latter in which he
;ntimated that owing to the young
pros discoartesy his entry might be
refused at the championship. This.

washington. May 9.--As 1908 had
us allies. so may 1916 have lis con-
federates. In 1908 all the favorite
sons combined to beat Taft, chosen by
Roosevelt. Today most of the favor
lie sons are trying to organize a COM
bine which will shut out both Roose-
yel and Hughes and give the nomina-
tion to one of four men, John w
Weeks Theodore Burton, l. Y. Sher-
man or Charles W. Fairbanks.
News is brought to this city that a
meeting of the representatives OF the
big four took place in New York Fri
day at which a campaign of this char
acter was outlined and an attempt
made to put 1t in force.
To support the Strongest.
The agreement proposed is that the
fonr men mentioned shall hold their
forces together until they see which
man is coming on and which men are
receding, Then the favorite Is to be
pushed to the front and rushed over
the goal line.

either because he would not come IN
or because it was not believed he could
swing his strength. The character of
the Endorsement received by Cummins
in Minnesota and Nebraska. and the
known fact that all or nearly all of
the delegates have q. first choice VINO
is not Cummins, has handicapped MIN
in some parts of the east.
Figure TO Control.
The quartet has combed the list or
elected delegates and arrived at the
conclusion that of the $500 uninstruct-
ed delegates about ESQ probably favor
Hughes and another 100 favor Roose-
welt The confederates on the other
hand have 2l7 delegates who are ac-
tual. not promissory, notes. Ihey
further believe that Roosevelt will not
be running and that the 100 who ia
vor him will join the ranks OF the
confederates. They can. they say, con-
troll the convention.
If they can hold their forces togeth-
err long enough to determine which IS
the strongest and can then bring their
men in line for one Of the combine.
Hughes is beaten. These are two big
ifs but they may be surmounted.
-Four Stand Together.
The first element in the combine
they say, has been brought about, an
agreement for the weaker candidates
to drop out and throw their strength
to the others. In this elimination
round as the golfers say. the diff
Guilty will be to keep their delegates
from flying the track. At the present
time each Of the quartet Is refrainlng
from derogatory remarks about the
other. You do not hear a Sherman
man say that Weeks. the stock broker,
cannot be elected, nor from Fair
banks fire-eater that Burton. the paci-
fist, Is dead one. The politics these
gentlemen are playing is good as far
as it goes. But all except the Fair
banks boom, which is built on the plan
OF the thermos bottle, are threatened
with the disintegration of the fire of
the convention. 1t is going TO be hot
