In SwediSh Meet

r. Vickstrom proved himself YER
satile athlete by his conspicuous all
around competition at the annual field
day games of the Swedish American
Athletic Club. at New Dorp. Staten Is
land, yesterday. Starting in four
events, Vickstrom succeeded on each
occasion in capturing third prize. In
the 220-yard run and the running broad
jump, he was nosed out for second
honors by close margins.
A spirited fight enlivened the three
and a half mile handicap run. George
Bojisson and Carl Benson, from the
outset had it nip and tuck up TO within
half lap from home. Benson failed
to answer n challenge from his oppon-
ent, who went away TO win by twenty
five yards.
Hans Schuster. the clubs champion
distance runner, who competed from
scratch, lost all chances for prize
when he was bowled over by spec
tator crossing the track. The spill cost
him two laps, and he never made up
the ground.

VETERAN RUNNER
GAINS APPLAUSE
AT CELTICPA
'Bromilow, Though Beaten,
Makes Excellent Showing
in Engineers Games.
By A. C.. CAVAGNARO.

Joe Bromilow, tho veteran Irish
American runner, who won his first
championship race last year after
eighteen years of competition, came
out of retirement yesterday and proved
the star at the annual games of the In
ternational Union Of Engineers, Local
20, at Celtic Park
Although he failed to capture first
place in the 1,000-yard handicap run,
finishing four yards behind James Kim
ball, of the Long Island Athletic Club,
Bromllow's magnificent effort drew
rounds Of applause from the six thou
sand spectators. Ten more yards o.
running would have found "Baldy" the
winner.
Bromilow was victim Of rather gem
erous handicapping, as was Willie Cor
don, the senior metropolitan one-mile
champion Of the New York Athletic
Club, and w. r. Granger, the former
Dartmouth College athlete Starting
from scratch, Gordon made little
progress against his field and the
strong wind, and stopped running at
the S00-yard point, when it became ap-
parent that it was hopeless task 70

quit.
Kmball had an allowance of As
yards, and except for the first furlong,
did the pace ms king. Bromilow, with
8 yards, threatened on the back stretcn
of the final lap, wading through the
field Of twenty runners in lightning
fashion, but he was unable to catch
Kimball. Wilson Adams, Of the New
York Athletic Club, from 18 yards, was
third.
Charles Mundt, Of the New York Ath-
letic Club, won the 220-yard handicap
run in easy fashion. Robert Cloughen
showed a decided improvement in his
attempts to "come back" He survived
the final heat, but he was unable TO
show the same speed in another test,
and was unplaced.

Saratoga, N. Y, July S0.-Judging by

The interest in the racing itself Is

The entrance of so many high class for

served to elevate the sport. All of the

Eddie Camp WinS

Teschner Defends Sprint Title,
Defeating Sam Labou by
One Yard.

Eddie Camp earned the individual
honors at the monthly members games
Of the Glencoe Athletic Club held on
its Harlem oval yesterday. Starting
in three races, Camp succeeded in tax
ing first place in both the 6O0-yard
run and the running hop, step and
jump. His other effort came in the
one-mile run, but the handicaps proved
too steep, and he had TO be content
with third place.
Fred Teschner again defended his
title as the star sprinter of the club
by handily defeating Sam Labou, who
has been threatening to depose MIN.
The latter made a game fight OF 1t for
more than three-quarters of the jour
ney, but Teschner pulled away to win
by one yard. Making his first start,
A. Aiolo won the two-mile handicap
run as he pleased. In the one-mile
walk Sam McKiernan was forced TO

Shawnee To Be Scene of
Next Important Strug-
gle on Links.
AMATEURS MARK
TIME TWO WEEKS
Marine and Field Club Bows to
Lure of Sport After
Many Years.
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

Even golfers require a rest, IL seems,
and for the last week or two, around
the metropolitan district, at least,
there has been decided lull In the
line of big tournaments. Some Of the
local stars made the trip to Manches-
ter-in-the- Mountains to take part in the
annual tournament for the Ekwsnok
cups, but most of them were content
to lay off for a space and prepare for
greater things.
The next big professional tourna-
ment will take place over the links of
the Shawnee Country Club, at Shaw
n-thc-Delaware, on August and
., and all the best of the paid talent
will tee off in the chase after the large
cash prizes. Gil Nichols, of Wykagyl,
won the chief prize last year after a
wonderful seventy-two holes Of play,
but with men like Walter Hagen, Jim
Barnes, Robert Macdonald, Paddy
Doyle, Jack Dowling, Elmer Loving,
quality he will be more than lucky to
come through at the top again.
Coming after the national and met
ropolitan open championships and the
recent professional tourney at Van
Cortlandt Park, in all of which the
pros. got a chance TO polish up their
games, the Shawnee tournament should
find the paid golfers at the top OF their
form, and it would be no surprise If the
picturesque course on the Delaware
saw new records set up.
The amateurs will practically be
marking time until August II, 18 and
10, when the annual invitation tourna-
ment of the National Golf Links OF
America, over the rolling Shinnecock
Hills. near the eastern tip of Long
Island, will occupy their attention. Last
year it was Oswald Kirkby, this years
metropolitan champion, who won the
title, after defeating Nelson Whitney
Southern champion, in the final round
this, too. after Kirkby had won the
gold medal in the qualifying round, an
unusual performance.
This 6,300-yard course over the sand
dunes is regarded as the most Difficult,
test Of golf in this country, and any
score under so is held to be fine golf
Although the list of entries for the
National Links tourney has not been
made public yet, it is safe to presume
that the same high class field that teed
up last August will be on hand this
year.
The North Jersey Country Club
which boasts a course of $500 yards
in Paterson, has extended an invitation
10 golfers to play over the links there
on any Thursday during the month OF
August. No green's fee wilrbe charged
and the invitation will give Nose who
have never seen this high grade course
an opportunity TO get acquainted with
all the traps and make free use OF
their niblicks.
The North Jersey Country Club is
one OF the oldest golf clubs in the
