Pershing Pays
Our Athletes
High Tribute

PARIS, June 22.-General Secretary
Carter of the Young Mems Christian
Association to-day presented Pershing
Stadium to the American army. Cen
eral Pershing, commander in chief of
the American forces, received the sta
dunn on behalf of the American Expe-
ditionary Force and then presented it
to the French people.
General Pershing in an address said,
in part: .
Conscious OF the service which ath-
lctes rendered and of the influence ath-
letic training had in making victory
possible, it seems a fitting conclusion
that our labors in common cause
should be celebrated by a great tourna-
ment, in which the athletes of the AL
lied nations will join in friendly con-
test"
General Pershing recalled that to-
day was the second anniversary of the
arrival of the first contingent of Amer
lean combatant forces in France. He
said he hoped the tournament would be
considered recognition of the gener-
Gus and gracious spirit that had been
accorded to Americans from the begin
ming Of their service abroad, and that
the stadium would become a permanent
testimonial of American esteem and an
enduring monument of the sportsman
like spirit that had inspired and sus-
tanned France throughout the war

Frank Kramer Wins
Mile Match Race
As $4,000 Cheer

Fourteen thousand bicycle fans
cheered Frank L. Kramer as he defeat
ed Francisco Verri and Raymond Eaton
in two straight heats of a one-mile
match at the Velodrome, in Newark,
yesterday afternoon. Kramer for the
last two weeks has been riding poorly
but he displayed a wonderful return
to form yesterday in beating his rivals
in straight heats.
Eaton came back strong, though, in
the last race of the day and won the
five-mile open from field Of more
than thirty riders, in which he out
plugged and outsprntcd all the stars
on the track John Bedell finished sec
ond, Gus Lang third, Alf Goullet
fourth and Reggie Mcnamara fifth.
Goullet was given bad switch COM
ing around the last turn by Grenda, for
which Grenda was fined S25 by the ref
cree.
Goullet scored sensational victory
in the mile handicap, which he won
from scratch. He was far in the rear
of the field going into the last lap, but,
riding high, circled the field and fin
ished with a rush in the home
stretch, beating out Charley Piercey,
John Bedell and Harry Kaiser.

Motors and Motorists

The United States Tire Company has
appointed George s. Shugart general
sales manager, succeeding ]. 6 Wes-
ton, whose resignation becomes effec-
tive July l. The appointment of Mr..
Snugart to this important post comes
after twenty-three years Of service in
the company's ranks and almost on the
anniversary Of the date when he first
entered the company's employ.
A year ago he become general branch
sales manager for the company with
headquarters at l790 Broadway, New
York, after twelve years in Chicago
where his activities as branch manager
and western sales manager had made
him the best known tire man in the
whole Middle West
MIR. Shugart as a youth donned over
alls and began to learn the tire bust
ness in the organization of Morgan &
Wright. This was at time when the
bicycle was in the height of its popu-
larity. After filling minor positions
for the company in Minneapolis and
Baltimore he became New York branch
manager Thirteen years ago he went
to Chicago as branch manager. After
Morgan Wright's amalgamation with
the United States Tire Company he
became western sales manager.
The general branch sales managers
place held by Mr.. Shugart will be taken
by c. j. Welch, who has until now been
manager of the truck tire department.
In addition, Mr.. Welch will supervise
sales OF tires to car manufacturers.

is fighting hard for the establishments
of the municipal landing field within
that borough. A field located there,
according to the manufacturers, would
not have the same advantages as one
in Central Park, owing to the extra
time taken to get to the heart of the
city.
By draining the reservoir in Central
Park. they assert, the present facili-
ties for the public would not be inter-
fered with. 1t would have the advant-
age of being free from trees, telegraph
and power lines, tall buildings and
other things that might make landing
dangerous. There would also be ample
room for the machines to take off.
The average trip by airplane from
Washington TO New York or vice versa
takes two hours. Under present cir-
cumstances it takes more than an hour
to get to the Mineola flying field, and
another hour from the Washington
field to Washington, thus giving the
air traveller little advantage over train
service. With landing field in Cen
trail Park the trip to Washington could
be shortened by at least an ha.-.

Government Owns
6OPer Cent of Land
In National Capital
U. S. Holdings in District of
Columbia Are Increasing
Yearly; Private Owners
Are in the Minority

WASHINGTON, June T. United
States holdings in the District have
increased to such an extent in the past
ten years that probably not more than
40 per cent of the property here now
is privately owned and subject to taxa
ton.
This claim was advanced by mem
bers of the Association of Oldest In
habitants Of the District in refutation
Of an impression which Is said to exist
in Congress that the governments
property interests in Washington are
decreasing, thereby fastening the day
when there will be no equitable reason
tor longer maintaining the half-and-
half act.
Matthew Trimble, former assessor
of the District, attributed to Speaker
Of the House Gillett a statement to
the effect that the governments hold
ings here are being reduced He said
the District has no better friend than
the presiding officer of the House, but
Mr.. Glllett evidently had been nisin-
formed.
"a Per Cent Exempt 25 Years Ago
twenty-five years ago, when he was
assessor, Mr.. Trimble said, he pre-
pared a statement which went to Con-
gress, showing that at that time the
government owned more than so per
cent of the property in Washington.
This, with other holdings not subject
to taxation, made total of 54 per cent
of all District property that paid no
returns to the tax collector.
In 1904, Mr.. Trimble continued, a
report made to Congress showed a
total of 5S per cent of all property ex-
empt from taxation. At the present
time,. he estimated, the exempted hold
ings would reach 60 per cent or more.
Sustains Estimate of 60 PEI Cent
This estimate was concurred in by
George W. Evans, who referred to some
Of the permanent buildings recently
constructed by the government in the
downtown section as evidence of how
valuable taxable properties have passed
from control of private citizens to the
government.
Dr.. William Tindall was of the opin-
ion that Speaker Gillett, in referring
to the diminishing of government hold
ings, had in mind the REIMBURSEMENT
of some of the temporary holdings ac-
quired for war purposes.

Brooklyn Handicap, One of
Richest Classics of Ameri.
can Turf, Features Card

1t is Brooklyn Handicap day. That
assertion of itself should guarantee
Tor the opening of the Queens County
Jockey Clubs summer meeting at the
Aqueduct track one Of the greatest at
tendances that have watched the thor
oughbreds in action in the East this
year.
The Brooklyn Handicap for manv
years has been considered one Of tn .
richest classics of the American turf
Dating back to 1887 and the historic
Gravesend course, its winners have
numbered the most illustrfous names
OF American thoroughbred blood. In
the halcyon days it was rich in prize
money as in tradition. Tradition. is not
lacking IN the present day, nor on a
comparative scale it's monetary worth

Stake for Three-Year-Olds and Up
The Brooklyn Handicap is stake
for three-year- olds and upward. at a
mile and furlong, with only one turn.
as 1t is run out Of a chute. Usually it
has attracted the most serious CON
sideration of the thoroughbreds of the
older classes. This time it threatens
to develop unusual three-year- old in
terest. The older divisions will be out
to battle for the glory, but not in the
customary mum bers.
No less than eighteen high class
thoroughbreds have been named over
night for to-day's blue ribbon event,
To the aged Roamer has been assigned
top weight at 121 pounds. So far this
season he has been unable to do JUS
tice to his name. But he was pointed
toward this particular event. Crimper
is six-year-old; Bondage and Straight
Forward are five; Star Glass, War
Cloud, L'Errant, Zenith and Trompe la
Mort are four-year-olds Which leaves
of the eighteen eligibles no less than
eight three-year-olds to have a big say

dreth's Purchase will bear the greatest
consideration. Purchase has won two
remarkable races this season at local

days ago and took the measure of
Eternal in the bargain. But the J. W.
McClelland interests are not satisfied
that he can do it again.

BrO,cn Third american
To Get British Title
Ariator Made knight by King
George Is a Citisen Of U. S.
Although Born in Scotland

Lieutenant Sir Arthur ". Brown, X.
B. E.. who navigated the Vickers-V -Vimy
bomber in the first successful fight
across the ocean, is the third American
citizen to receive title at the hands
of the King of England.
The title of Knight of the Order of
the British Empire was bestowed upon
Brown, AND his pilot, Captain John AL
cock, by King George at the special
dinner held in London to present the
$4,000 offered for the flight by "The
London Daily Mail"
The question of Browns right to be
addressed as "Sir Arthur" raises an in
teresting question Of nationality. AL
though Brown first saw the light of
day in Glasgow, Scotland, he was born
of American parents, and under the
law of this country is an American
citizen.
At the outbreak of the war he Joined
the Royal Flying Corps of England,
which later became the Royal Air
Force. In doing SO he swore allegiance
to King George, and thereby technical
ly became a British subject. Despite
this, however, he did not go through
the legal formalities of declaration.
necessary to establish absolute citizen
ship in the British Empire, and under
the laws of this country is not permit
ted to assume his newly bestowed title.
During the war King George be-
slowed knighthood upon two American
admirals. They were Rear Admiral
Hugh Rodman and Rear Admiral Jo-
seph Strauss. The former was made a
knight Commander of the Order of the
Bath, and the latter a Knight Com
mander of the Order of st. Michael and
St. George. In these cases the Navy
Department in Washington ruled that
the two officers concerned might re-
ceive and wear the decorations that
accompanied the order, but they were
not allowed to assume the title of
Sir
Only by becoming a British subject
can Brown enjoy the full benefits of
being addressed permanently as Sir Ar
thur. He is about to marry an English
girl.
Other Americans who received titles
are Baron Waldorf Astor and Sir
Hiram Maxim. In their cases, how
ever, they renounced their American
citizenship and assumed British nation
ality before they were ennobled.

Central Park Landing
For Fliers Urged to
Cut WASHINGTON Trip


The request made upon the city by
Major General Charles T. Menoher, di-
rector of the United States army air
service, for establishment of land
ing field for airplanes, has revived the
demand that such field be equipped
in Central Park.
This plan, which is backed by vir-
tually every airplane manufacturer
calls for the drainage and filling in of
the old reservoir in Central Park The
area obtained would make an ideal
landing place right in the centre Of
the city, and enable passengers to take
advantage of the airplane's speed. In
would reduce the time necessary to
take mails to Belmont Park by auto
mobile, and speed up the aerial mail
service.

to the growing opposition in flying
circles in England to further risk of
life in these transatlantic sattempts
when there is no further direct advan-
tage to be gained, now that the initial
overseas flight has been made.
Whether the Alliance company will
also withdraw because of this view is
not known, but its agent here has been
proceeding on the assumption that the
attempt is still to be made. He has
been informed that the plane which is
to make the flight has been shipped on
the British steamer Sachem and ought
to arrive here about the end of this
month.
1t is expected that it will take from
three to four weeks to put the Alliance
planes in shape for the fight, and its
effort therefore will be part of another
cycle in the series of competitions
being made from this port.
