VIII Rid Baseball Of
Betting, Says Hermann

CINCINNATI, Aug. 11.-Chairman
August Hermann of the National
Baseball Commission in a statement
last night anent reports of alleged gam
bling being carried on at the Boston
ball park declared that the matter pri-
mariiy is for club control, with the
cooperation of the interested leagues,
if necessary, but believed that the evil,
if it exists, will be eradicated event
ually.
president Johnson of the American
League" Chairman Hermann declared,
"hss been to Boston this week as the
commissions representative to ascer-
tain the real state of affairs and sub
nit a report, which will be accorded
thoughtful attention and may result
in prompt action.
Failure to safeguard the games in
tegrity and craftsmanship from this
menace is so serious an offence under
baseball law that it is one of the
causes for which the National or Amer
lean League franchises may be re-
voked."

Bears Drop From
First Place When
Toronto Is Victor

Harry Thompson, the Elizabeth boy,
and Nap Lajoie. the demon swatter,
proved too big a combination for New
ark 70 beat yesterday, and Toronto got
the first game Of the series, to /.
Thompson held Newark TO three scat
tered hits, and the Bears did not tally
until the ninth, when passes to Fuller
and Russell and a one-baSe smash by
Callahan, after two were out, resulted
in Newark's only run. Newark dropped
from first place as result of the
defeat
II was the third time this season that
Thompson, the Elizabeth left-hander,
has beaten Newark, and he had them
completely at his mercy during the first
eight innings.
Lajoie, who is leading the Interna-
tional League in batting, drove in three
Of his teams seven runs and scored
one. In the fifth inning he hit the ball
ever the low left field fence for a home
run, scoring Whiteman ahead of him,
while his single in the first inning
scored Truesdale and Jacobson.
Walter Smallwood, who, it Is expect
ed, will soon join the colors. was easy
for the Toronto batsmen, who ham
mered his offerings for nine safeties,
which included Laioie's home run,
triples by Blackburne and Schultz and
& double by Jacobson.

bud" Goodwin
Loses in Swim
To Leo Giebel
Youngster Triumphs Over
Champion in 6SO-Yard
Speed Test

L. B. BUD Goodwin, who is one OIL
the greatest swimmers this country mas
ever produced, tasted his first deieat IN
MANY years in a scratch race yesterday,
when he was led over the finish line Dy
Leo Giebel in the SS0-yard race OF inc
Now York Athletic Club swimming
races, held in the creek OH lraVers
leland Goodwin was surprised by the
Enc performance of his rival, VINO
finished in the fast time Of l2:l5 30
Joseph Wheatiey, another New iotH
Athletic Club swimmer, was thlrd' CLOSE
behind.
Goodwin has probably won more ma
tioral and Olympic championships dur
ing his seventeen years in aquatic CT
forts than any other swimmer IN the
limited States. In his initial effort TINS
wear he defeated a good held OF OPP
moments for the 44O-yard metropolitan
Association championship in fast time
Goodwin is approaching his thlrty-hIth
birthday, and his defeat by GlcbeI, VINO
has improved wonderfully during the
last year, may tend to make the CHAM
pjop believe that the time TO retire mas
arrived.
Wbeatley led his rivals during the
first $50 wards, with Giebel second and
Goodwin third, not five yards separat-
ing the three competitors. AZ TINS
point Giebel challenged, and after a
tugsle with Wheatlcy succeeded IN pass
ing him in twenty-five yards Inc
early pace set By Wheatley weakened
him toward the close of the race and
Goodwin managed to pass him on the
final lap of 10 yards.
Thrills were a-plenty for the specta-
tors in the centipede rowing race, wnen
the crew of the Metropolitan Rowing
Club was twice forced TO take lnYolun-
tary duckings. The event was won by
the New Rochelle Rowing Club by
three-quarters of a length, with the
Lone Star Boat Club second.
A promising swimmer came TO ight
when Tom Reilly, a youth OF hfteen
years, captured the llO-yard novice
swim in fast time. Reilly is brother
of Jim Reilly, the swimming coach at
Rutgers College and a onetime metro
politan and national champion. The

McGillivray Winner
Of Annual Lake Swim

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-Using a plain
American crawl stroke, and leading
from start to finish, Perry McGillivray,
Of the Illinois A. c., hero of many long
distance races, to-day won the fourth
annual lake swim of the Chicago Anna
teur Swimming Association, by at least
$50 yards, from Frank Pickel, of the
Chicago A. A., who put up a game but
losing fight. McGillivray stroked the
distance, approximately two and one
half miles, in 1:O5:35, four minutes
behind the record for the course.
Keen disappointment was expressed
because Of the failure Of William Wal
Ter, of the Hamilton Club, to appear.
Waller won the river swim handily.
McGillivrsy was barred in this swim
because he had won the event three
times.

originally chosen, however, and Miss
Bjurstedt's temporary success bothered
her not a bit. The former champion
continued her battling tactics and al
ways kept her opponent on the defen-
sive. The champion was never abe 10
take the ball in the right position,
either because Miss Browne was drlv-
ing so deeply to her backhand that the
girl from the Northland was gong
backward as she made the stroke or
else stumbling forward in a vain effort
to pick UP the short chop strokes that
fell just over the net from the Cali
fornian's wizardlike racquet.
Even so, the champion held her great
opponent even up 20 4-all on games.
The court was trifle slow and this
added to Miss Bjurstedt's troubles.
Once she slipped and fell, as she went
after wonderfully placed shot across
the fore court, but her own return
shot down the side line, raising little
puff of chalk ard eluding the sweep Of
Misc Brownies racquet as the Cali
fornian made a desperate stab for it.
In the eighth game the girl from
the Coast changed her racquet, as Miss
Biurstedt had done in the first set, and
the battle was on again. The ninth
game saw Miss Browne at her most
brilliant heights. She volleyed beau
tiful shot at sharp angles across the
court for a placement ace, and mo-
ment later, on the next point, took a
deep lob from Miss Bjurstedt and
crashed it back with amazing power for
another ace. A third time she earned
her point in this gamesby cross court
ing her rival.
The tenth and last game found Miss
Bjurstedt being outplayed again, and
Miss Browne won the match with a
placement far down the court, in tho
corner between base and side lines.
Miss Bjurstedt tried desperately to pick
the low bounding ball up from the turf,
but all she could do was TO send it,
into the net, and the match was over.

Crew Is Swamped
Twice in Race

1t is rare indeed that a crew is
swamped twice during a race, but
this fate befell the members Of the
Metropolitan Rowing Club in the
regatta of the New York Athletic
Club yesterday. In each instance,
launches that we're following the
shells came to the rescue of the
men in the water.
The first involuntary ducking of
the "Mets" came on the way to the
start, when their boat was filled
by the rough water. Returning for
another boat, the oarsmen again
headed for the start, which they
reached without mishap.
However, when rowing in second
place, they struck an anchored
pleasure yacht head-on, and all
four men in the centipede shell
were thrown into the water. Boats
again came to their assistance.

Bay Ridge
Tennis Singles
Won by Behr

Karl H. Behr, the former interna-
tionalist, was easily the star of the spe-
cial lawn tennis matches played for the
Red Cross Ambulance Fund yesterday
on the turf of the Crescent Athletic
Club, at Bay Ridge. In the singles he
mastered Elliott H. Binzen, the boy
who has twice held the national indoor
junior championship. The contest was
fought through two sets, Behr's fine
ross-courting being his chief weapon
as he scored at IS, ca.
Behr paired with Binzen in the
! doubles against Walter Merrill Hall
and Lyle f. Mahan. OF the four men
engaged in this encounter, Behr illu-
minated the rallies by the varied as
sortment and the alertness with which
he found the openings. The veteran
and his young partner won this match
also in straight sets at 6-3, Is.
The series on the courts, which had
held an interested and large gallery,
finished with Miss Marie Wagner, the
national indoor title holder, paired with
Hall, out-playing Mrs. Charles Vernon
Hitchins and Mahan at 4-6, Ga, ct
tNAlso dEutI maui ClcNcl hoc VI hCl
slowly dropping, crossing drives in this
contest. She repeatedly tricked Mrs.
Hitchins BY injecting the shot into the
rallies.
Singles Held Interest
1t was the matches in which Behr
competed that held the attention of the
lovers of the game. In the singles he
appeared to be a different kind of Behr
from the tornado-like, dynamic youth
of the early Davis Cup matches. He
used tactics against the fire of Binzen's
game, and he quenched the fame as
surely as water. Behr won the first set
with four games in a row, after 3inzen
had led him at 5-3. In these games
as BinZeu followed in his service OF
drives, Behr tossed or smoothly shot
for the side lines for the prettiest OF
passes. Once in a while he overhanded
the ball at the foot of his opponent
who mutfed half-volleys by netting the
ball.
The ball boys, who occasionally
tossed handful of balls at Behr when
he wanted only one, bothered the star
somewhat in the second set. 1t seemel
20 muss up his cross driving in the
seventh game, with the result that
Binzen once more went to the lead az
"a on games. Behr settled himself
to force Binzen TO yield position and
to tear into his backhand after that.
Behr's strategy was rewarded with
three consecutive games and the set
and match at "a.
