Kamagae Double
Tennis Victor
at Pt. Judith

Narragansett Pier, +. l., July IS
Playing for the first time on grass
courts the two Jap tennis stars, kuma-
eae and Mikama, were objects OF at
tentien at the annual Point Judith
Country Club tournament to-day.
Ichiya Kumagae, New York State
champion from far Toxic, played like
a worthy holder of the Empire State
title. and defeated Rowland Hazard, Of
the home club, 6--l, 60. The other
visitor from the Orient found Craig
Riddle. the veteran of the Philadelphia
and Newport courts, on mis- beat game.
Biddle defeated Mikama, 60, 81.
Visitors from Newport and Provi-
dence Joined the Pier social and sport
ing leaders in the gallery under the
pine trees TO watch the play OF the
Eastern stars. Both were fast IN loot
work and in serving, and the little men,
hlack thatehed and black booted, were
unioue contrasts in the flock of white
clad players in and about the courts
and lawns.
Kumagae used his southpaw service
and returns with telling effect and
was a real champion. Hazard played up
10 the net often, but he could not with
stand the Japs places.
In the afternoon G. {. Gamer, also
well known on the Philadelphia courts
played the net attacks very effectively
against Kumagae and forced the little
Oriental to his best game, seemingly
for while the champion won by a,
IS. he was lucky to end the set IN
two games.
Mikama and Kumagae played bseS
court game, but the former met MS
match in this respect in Craig biddle;
who was right at his best and displayed
a spin that gave kick TO his services
and returns that were quite battling.

IN EXHIBITION BOUT

Kenosha. Wis, July ls.-frank Gotch.
champion wrestler of the world, is cut
Of the game for an indefinite period,
having suffered a fractured leg to-day
during an exhibition bout. He was
wrestling with Bob Monograph. Of Chi

which Gotch was travelling, when he
caught his left foot between two mats,
breaking the bone just above the ankle.
Jess Willard, champion heavyweight
pugilist, who was standing by, rushed
70 the aid of Gotch. With the help OF
Monograph and Tom Jones. willard's
manager, he carried the injured
wrestler to a waiting automobile, which
took them to the Kerosha Hospital.

VOWmer Breaks
Record in Long
Swimming Test
Hatfield's Mark for 500 Metres
Lowered by Columbian in
N. Y. A. c. Tank.

The worlds 500-metre swim record
was broken in the tank of the New
York Athletic Club yesterday, when
Herbert +. Vollmer, who has recently
raised Columbia University 10 dizzy
heights on account of his performances
in the water. negotiated the distance
in minutes 81 3-5 seconds. The pre-
vious record, established by J. G. Hat
field on August 6, 1912, in England,
was 6:56 4-5.
Vollmer, who suddenly cut loose
after some weeks Of rather Indifferent
work in the water, not only shattered
the 500-metre worlds record, but broke
two American records for intermediate
distances. He clipped two full seconds
off c. Daniels's time for the 300-metre
splash and nine and one-ifth seconds
off j.. c. Wheatleys time for the 500
metres.
The Columbia students performance
is more than remarkable when IL is
taken into consideration that he ae-
complished it under difficulties which
did not exist for the previous holder
Of the record. HATFIELD, 1t is declared,
swan in a pool especially designed for
racing, being 100 feet long and having
no currents caused by intake pipes.
Vollmer, on the contrary, made his
record in a 75-foot tank, constantly
churned by a stream Of fast rushing
water. Had it not been for this, the
experts declare, the Columbia student
undoubtedly would have made even bet
ter time for the distance.
At no time during the long whip
through the water did the remarkable
young athlete exhibit any distress,
John A. Zinnock and J. j. Curran
started with him. but were soon left
behind, so swiftly did Vollmer cut the
water during the first 220 yards. In
fact, one of the men who tutored the
lad for this swim was quite exasperated
with him for having set such hot
race during the initial stages of his
journey.
Consequent to Vollmer's remarkable
performance in the N. Y. A. c. tank
the members of the Winged Foot or
ganization are beginning to prognosti-
cate great things in the way of cham.
pionships, honors, etc, for the lad
whose main ambition is ito swim the
mile faster than hungry shark"

By JAMES S. O'NEALE.

The annual invitation tournament OF
the Rockaway Hunting Club, Cedar
hurst, Long Island, progresses by twos,
Last Monday there were two upsets'
There were two more yesterday.
In one Theodore Roosevelt Pell, nth
man Of the select first ten in the coun-
try's ranking list, lost to Alrick H.
Man, jr., ranked in the second ten, ~
two close sets, 81 and 10. Pell
must have surprised every one just to
make up the brace Of upsets, because
previously Charles NJ. Bull, jr., like
Man, a member Of the second ten, was
eliminated, 3-6, "a, 90, by n. j.
Foster, an unranked player.
Pell paid the penalty of starting on
indifferently, although his Preyious,
round match, in which he had hard
tussle with ii. Van Dyke Johns. Of Le-
land Stanford, may have sapped his en-,
ergy. The famous backhander defeated
Johns, Is, "a, the Coast man max
ing the match closer than had besn an
ticipated by the wiseacres. Perhaps
the closeness Of this ARRAY was the
straw that showed which way the wind
was to blow when Pell faced Man.
Cedarhurst Tennis.
Man was good, despite 4 tendency
to be erratic like Pell. The former
Yale star hurled his big body for the
net, usually advancing TO foreeourt
under cover of drive to PelPs fore
hand, his weakest point. Ones AZ the
barrier Man played sterling tennis,
often out-guessing Pell and jumping
close to the net, one way or the other,
to choke off a passing shot. Overhead
Man was good, as usual, and his twist
service covered his approaches to the
net.
Not Fast As Usual.
Pell was off form overhead, and he
netted his forehand repeatedly. His
great backhand, the best in the world,
was steady. but not as fast as usual.
In the early part of the match Pell
appeared to take things trihe easy.
Man Jumped at once into the breach.
and kept it open for the rest Of the
afternoon. He ran up 81 lead In
the first set, and in the second, after
Pell had taken the first three games
by his best spurt OF tennis in the
match, Man handily fought his way to
even games, then ran abreast OF Pell
