Speeding OF
War Preparations

1917, was almost year ago.
On the margin Of this postal the
sender has written these words:
"Our boys are looking to you to
speed up aeroplanes.
Believing that Mr.. Chambard. who
signs this card, is but one Of very
many honest and patriotic people
who have been misled by these false
charges Of congressional delay. I
think It time for some one to tell
the truth and place the responsibility
where It belongs. and therefore I
propose to speak plainly to this
gentleman.

You say. "Our boys are looking to

you aware Of the fact that In the
early part Of 1917 we appropriated
$40. 900, 900 for aeroplanes alone

Easily Defeats Misses Boyle
and Burns at 40 Yards
By Louis Lee Arms

In troublous, white-capped sea
Mrs. Claire Galligan Finney, OF New
pochellc. successfully defended her 44O-
yard national championship swimming
title Yesterday afternoon at Brighton
Beach. In field OF three she led all
but the first sixty yards OF the way,
swan we'll within herself, and finished
thirty wards ahead Of Dorothy burns
Of Los Angeles, who was .s&ond. The
time was seven minutcA and twenty
seconds fiat.
The race was competed over course
that would have rcpelled any but the
stout hearted A strong southeastern
breeze had whipped up choppy sea
that converted the usually calm course
into a billowy expanse OF white caps,
and these waves carried the swimmers
almost irresistibly off their courses.
Mrs. Finney swan nearer 800 than 440
yards, and her time IN consequence was
first class.
There were but three starters in the
race, Miss Olga Dorfner. of Philadel-
phia, withdrawing. Those who plunged
from the starting raft were Miss Dor
o.hy Burns, of Los Angeles; Miss Char
lotte Boyle, of Sea Gate, national
sprints champion, and Mrs Claire Cal

champion.
AT the outset Miss Burns swan into
the lead. Taking the outside course
she sat sterling pace for the first
fifty yards that carried her well out in
front. with Mrs. Finney and Miss Boyle
swimming shoulder to shoulder, five
yards behind.
Having acquired this margin of ad-
vantage, Miss Burns seemed to realize
that she had instituted sprint-likc

the conditions to sustain, and she low

By Charles A. Taylor

Hughie Jennings brought his De-
troit Tigers to the Polo Grounds yes
terday afternoon and munched Henry
Fabian's lawn while the Yankees won
ball game by the score of 5 to 2. The
victory put the Higgins lads back into
the first division. as the Athletics de-
feated the White Sox
The Yankees won the game in the
second frame, when what is left of
Murderers' Row had a reincarnation. so

q single to left, and thereafter the
blows fell fast and furious. Fournier
beat out hit TO the nfield and went

Ham Hyatt showed burst of speed
by outsprinting Griggs in a race to

Pratt scored. Peckinpaugh singled to
left and Fournier tailed Walters hit

Mogrldse cleaned up with a double to

this point
The Tigers had made run in their

Brilliant as has been the perform
ance of the renowned Salvador (and
there we're many of the opinion that
his performance was safe for all
time), those oldtimers who had seen
the record accomplishment of that long
ago at Monmouth Park, N. j., and who
watched Andrew Miller's aged geld
ing burn up the track this afternoon
were free to confess that the present
sensation of the hour typifed most
truly of the two real thoroughbred
perfection.
Oldtmers, as u rule, love to live in
the lustre of the past, IN the sunshine
of youths memory, and are jealous Of
the name and fame of the halcyon days
of life. Yet in the countless thousands
of that multitude WHICH cheered the re
doubtable Roamer on his 'record-break-
ing effort Of this afternoon were many
critics competent to judge, and none,
even of the grizzle heads, withheld
from the son of knight Errant the
honor that should be his without ques-
ton or quibble.
Race Around Turns
For Roamer and Schuttinger today
did all and more than Salvador and
Matt Byrnes were able to accomplish
twenty-eight years ago at Monmouth
Park Byrnes himself, who was on
hand for the epoch making event, ad-
mtted as much frankly. Salvador had
free sailing all the way for he raced
over straight course. Roamer had to
race around turns.
1t may be all true enough that Sara
g ft1i @ n 81
word of track architecture; that Sara
toga is a faster course than Monmouth
ever hoped to be. But there is diff
ference between a straight course and
q circular one which every sportsman
can appreciate And there were
several other contributing influences
to-day which made the performance
of Mr. Miller's gelding all the more
remarkable.
In the first place. when Roamer went
to the post very mean, quarterlng
wind sprung up. 1t had been almost
still until twenty minutes before the
trial. The wind blew from an angie
that meant a quartering breeze
through the chute ard a quartering
back wind down the backstretch. But
in the home run it was more dead on
then quartering. and, as everybody
knows, the final stage of the journey Y
is the one that counts most heavily in
any record breaking attempt.
Roamer to-day carried the identical
weight borne by Salvador in his record
effort. 10 pounds Like Salvador he
was sent away to flying start. They
had no barrier in the days of Salvador.
Lightning. o-year-old which Jack
Gouidborough, Roamer's trainer, be-
heves will win the Futurity this year,
was sent out with Roamer for the
great event. Lightning, ridden by Nc
Cram. was designated for the task
simply'as matter Of courtesy to the
stout-hearted Roamer.

that it should be impressed on Roam

CUBS, coming champions of the Ma

a1ternoon In the first game of their
hnal series by a score of 8 to 2. The
McGraw men played ragged ball in
every department of the game, and un-
less they take sudden brace the
Pirates will beat them out for second

Polonious Perritt and Ferdie Schupp
tried to pitch for the New Workers.
while Lefty Tyler did actually pitch
Tor the Cubs. 1t is fair to say in ex-
tenuation of the Giant twirlers that
the support they received from their
lntlelders was most shaky. Larry Doyle
made two errors and Heinie Zmmer-
man and Captain Fletcher each con-
trlbuted one bungle.
The Giants made one run in the first
on pass to Burns, a single by Young
and a force out OF Young at second by

TINS advantage in their half by tally
ing three runs-enoueh to win. SIN

fly by Paskert and errors by thinner
man, Doyle and Fletcher did the busi
ness.
The Cubs picked up another tallv In

then turned their batteries on Schupp

tional runs.
