British Sport Now
In Full Swing

LONDON, July 2s.-With the resump-
ton of fat racing in England every
branch of sport is now in full swing
throughout the country. Followers OF
the turf will enjoy forty days more
racing this season, twenty-eight having
been scheduled for Newmarket, while
the provinces will share twelve between
them.
Cricket has not only retained but
greatly increased its popularity. With
the county games held up until the war
is over, many famous amateurs who
are past the age limit for service with
the colors and numbers of frst-class
professionals who are in training
camps are assisting local clubs.
Colin Blythe, the famous Kent trun-
der, who is a sergeant in the Royal
Engineers, has been showing excellent
form with the ball. A few weeks ago
he took 9 wickets for 33 runs sgains,
the Royal Naval Air Service, and his
latest performance is Z wickets for Is
runs against the Royal Naval division.
Tom Hayward. the crack Surrey pro.
fessional, recently made the top score
of 45 for d. L. A. Josephson's eleven
against Trinity College Cadets, Cam
bridge. A particularly strong NJ. C. c.
team opposed Westminster School and
the boys were beaten by 81 (for s de-
clared) to Is. On the winning side
were such famous players as Lord
Hawke. Lord Harris, Captain P. f. War
ner, Lieutenant N. Haig, Lieutenant P,
G. N. Fender. Lieutenant Commander
G. c. Harrison, f. II. ID. Sewell and
Private +. Hendren.

Star MermQidS to Battle
in Tests of Endurance

middle distance times Of the Olympic
Club giant.
The New York Athletic Club will
hold another water carnival at IraVers
Island on Saturday, and the feature
event will be an SS0-yard scratch swim:
in which will start the leading men OF
the district, including Bud Goodwin,
the metropolitan 440-yard and fiye-mile
title holder.
John Metzger, Of the Detroit Young
Mems Christian Association, hung at
his Lelt two more coveted scalps in the
annual four-mile Belle Isle marathon,
those of P. W. Coumbe, the crack Chi
cago paddler, and Louis Grupp, Pitts
burgh's new distance star. He won the
race in / hour minutes and 10 sec
onds, romping away fiom the field and
defeating his nearest opponent,
Coumbe, by the big margin of $50
yards. II looks as if it will take an
awfully good man to defeat Metzger
this season over the long courses. He
hasn't lost scratch event so far.
Miss Thelma Darby, Of the Indian
apolis Turn Verein, who won the ma
tional Amateur Athletic Union half
mile championship for women last sum-
mer, at the age of thirteen, recently
swan $50 yards on her back in 2 min
utes and % seconds, or 42-5 seconds
under the American record held by
Miss Dorothy Burns, Of Los Angeles.
The two are TO meet soon at this style
of nataton, and it will be interesting
to watch for results.
Leo Giebel, the seventeen-year-old
Mercury Foot lad, covered ITO yards
last week in 10 over 55-yard open
water course, dead turn, and his team
mates feel confident he can win the
classic Sackett Cup, which is competed
for yearly over a straightaway 100-yard
course at Lafayette, Penn. The trophy
has been lifted quite consistently by
New York A. c. sprinters.
The A. A. U. rules which govern
breast stroke swimming should be made
more specific. In their present reading
they are clear only to an expert. No
word is said about the leg drive, yet
this is the part of the stroke in which
faults are usually committed, and many
contestants, particularly among women,
do not understand that the phrase
Competitors using a side stroke &C
ton shall be disqualified" applies to
legs as we'll as arms. The adding Of a
few details will save officials a lot of
trouble.

Babe Ruth Making Ty Cobb
Hustle for Chief
Laurels

At this stage of the race II seems a
foregone conclusion that an American
League player will win the batting
championship Of the major leagues.
Roush, who leads the National League
competition, has hit for only .33l. Six
American League players have bettered
that figure.
The race in the National League con-
tinues to be an open one. Cruise, Of
the Cardinals, who was so long tied
with Roush, is now tied with Rogers
Hornsby, clubmate. Each is only SIX
points below the pacemaker. Any one
of score of players may land the
National League championship. Zach
Wheat, eighteenth in the list, is only
80 percentage points behind Roush.
Benny Kauff has the honor of setting
the pace FOR the Giant hitters. BenJa-
min h. s boosted his average to 300.
Burns, at 1903, and without, at an even
300, are the other Giants in polite
company.
Following are the accomplishments
of those who have batted 200 or bet
ter in fifteen games, up to and includ-
ing last Thursdays contests:

Miss Freeman May Attempt
Swim From Battery to
Spuyten Duyvil

Miss Lucy Freeman, Of the National
Women's Lifesaving League, and Miss
Florence Mclaughlin, of the 1st Regi-
ment Pool, of Philadelphia, the star
mermaids, who finished first and Sec
ond in the A. A. U. long-distance SWIM
ming championship IN Sheepshead Bay
on Tuesday, both announced after the
race that they would shortly undertake
tests of endurance.
Miss Freeman will attempt either to
beat the women's record for the classic
16% mile course between Philadelphia
and Chester, on the Delaware River, II
she can make the necessary arrange
ments, or try the 15mle trip from the
Battery to Spuyten Duyvil, on the Hud-
son, which has never been made by one
of the sex. Miss Mclaughlin, who is
not quite fourteen years old and al
ready has several big swims to her
credit, proposes to attack the record
for the former course.
Prominent watermen who officiated at
the first aquatic pentathlon for women
last Sunday pronounced the meet the
most interesting they had ever wit
messed and expressed the opinion that
no more attractive event could be
adopted for men. OF this there can
be no doubt. A similar fixture, in fact,
had a trial last winter in Honolulu
and proved tremendous success. With
water sports growing steadily in pop
ularity there is every reason for adding
a regulation all around test to the
championship schedule.
Ludy LANCER, of Los Angeles, now
resident of Honolulu. will be unable
to attend either the 500-yard Pacific
A. A. U. title swim to-day or the 40
ward national championship on Satur-
day, both at Alameda, Cal, and his
absence leaves Norman Ross, OF San
Francisco. without formidable rival for
laurels. Jerry Witt, of the Los Angeles
A. c.; George Scroth, of Sacramento,
and George Cunha, the Hawaiian
sprinter. are expected to put up a
strong fight, but they have shown no
indication of being able to beat the

Sam Crawford May
Manage the Seals

San Francisco, Aug. 4.-That Sam
Crawford, the big Detroit outfelder
and considered at one time one of the
greatest hitters in the game, will be
manager of the Seals in 1918 is the
latest rumor in these parts concerning
the management of the Frisco club.
Crawford has been itching 70 get
managerial berth for the last two
years.
The big boy is about through as
major Lacquer. He is slowing up
great deal, but still is wonderful
hitter, and that's why he is still with
the Tigers. That Crawford would be
playing manager if he gets the job is
almost a certainty, for Owner Berry
stated after he let Wolverton go that
his next manager would be of the play
ing type.
