.ixsell Beats
Jenkins for the
Squash Title

In brilliantly contested match H..
r. Mixsell, of the Princeton Club, yes
terday won the national Glass R
squash tennis crown when he defeat
ed Felix Jenkins, of the Montclair A.
G., by score Of 5---15, 15--9, 15-o,
15-S, in the final round of the cham
plonship tournament at the Columbia
University Club. Aside from the first
game, which went to Jenkins, Mixsell
was never in danger. lie played a
sparkling game at all times and his
hard driving and clever placing com
bined to give the Jersey star an un-
comfortable session.
The best work by Jenkins, as the
score indicates, was done in the open
ing game. This he won without much
difficulty, and the lack Of opposition
encountered seemed to portcnd a diff
cult contest for tho Princeton Club
player. who was the favoritc for the
championship. Mixsell could not seem
to get into his best playing form and
Jenkins took advantage of his oppo-
ncnts lapses to run the contest out
to his credit.
Quick to Regain Top Form
The Princctonian was prone to hit
into the tclltalc, and when he tried to
overcome this defect Of play by send
ing the ball higher Jenkins was able
to mako snappy returns that many
times detied the usual pronounced
ability of Mixscll to make gets.
Mixsell, however, has frequently
shown that n late start docs not al
ways jeopardizc his chances of victory,
and this proved to he the case yester-
day. From the depths Of mediocre
squash tennis he suddenly climbed to
the very top notch of perfection, and
jenkins could not play with success
against the surprising change.
The Princetonan showed liking
for the mixed pace style of game, and
he altcrnatcd straight up and down
kills with soft shots. so that Jenkins
was frequently drawn out Of position
for a passing shot or in the excitement
of keen rally was drawn into an
error.
Jenkins Tired by Pace
As the match progressed the Gle
mcnt Of fatigue entered into the fray,
and jenkins was the one to suffer. He
could not maintain the fast pace with
the same effectiveness as at first, and
gradually became more and more d vic
tim Of errors.
He fought with determination. but
could not stay the steady progress of
Mixsell toward victory. The latter, in
the last three games, early assumed
leads which were gradually increased
until he clinChcd the victories.

Silkworth Is
Star Of Day at
N.Y.A.C.T raps
Wins High Scratch Gun Hon
ors and Makes New
Record for Straight

The palm of the New York A. C.
shoot at Travcrs Island yesterday was
carried off in triumph by w. S. Silk
worth, who not only won the high
scratch gun of the day, but hung up a
new record for straight. Incidentally
he succeeded in collaring slice of the
glory in almost every event on the
card. BY far the most mcritorious
feature of Silkworth's shooting was his
hitting in the straight, as he broke the
formidable string of So without miss.
This relegates to oblivion the previous
best mark of II, standing to the credit
of Conrad Stein.
In the grand total for the high
scratch gun Silkworth shattered ninety
nine clays out of the possible hundred.
This equals the best record OF any
shooter, amateur or profess onal. that
ever competed at Travers Island.
Captured Other Honors
In the way of minor honor Silkworth
also had his day of fame, for he won
the leg on the Travers Island cup,
captured joint legs on the club cup, the
Hasln cup, the accumulation cup, and
to finish up this fine display won a box
at the Hippodrome for the New York
A. c. benefit tonight.
Next in Importance to the high
scratch gun is the high handicap gun,
and as a proof that the shooters are
becoming properly tuned up no fewer
than twenty-four tied with full scores
of 100. These were Duden, Martin,
Wilmot, Bennett, Brandenberg, Dono-
van, Ham, Ogden, Wilson, Brown, Webb
McCutcheon, Smith. Vanderveer, Grin
nell, Rogers, Stein, Thomson. Dcbacher,
Delehanty, Lawrence, Palmer. Anderson
and Lcask. A shoot-otf of twenty-five
birds was ordered, and Wilson won the
medal with perfect score.
Other Joint Leg Scorers
Three other marksmcn won seats for
the benefit at the Hippodromc with
Silkworth. They were Ogden, Nc
Cutcheon and Donovan Sixteen hung
up full talies of 25 and were credited
with legs on the accumulation cup.
In the club cup the joint leg scorers
with Slkworth were Ogden, Mcmahon
and Vanderveer, and in the Hasln cup
Rrandenberg was the only joint scorer
with him.

WHERE THE SHIPS ARE MADE
One interesting fact in connection

of the shipping question. There is
. prevalent impression that nearly
al the shipbuilding in the country
y concentrated in the east. II the
HI Of ships launched on the Fourth
= at all representative, the west
must be credited with indisputable
supremacy.
OF 50 ships floated on the Fourth,

by Great Lake yards and 43 by Pa
cific coast yards. Those western
Ships we're not small ones, either.
They averaged larger than those of
other sections.
In actual tonnage, the Pacific
yards beat the Atlantic yards two to
one. Moreover, the western coast
Won the state records. California
produced the largest number Of steel
ships, and Washington the largest
number of wooden ships, with Ore
gon a close second for wooden ships
and Washington second with steel
ships.
This showing does not necessarily
indicate the relative production Of
the various states and sections right
along. The east may have, actually
or in prospect, greater shipbuilding
capacity than the west But every
body will agree that the achieve
ments Of the west so far have been
nothing less than marvellous. It
has got the jump on the east. Will
