MISS CASSELL MAY
WIN THREE TITLES
New York Star Advanced in Sin
giles, Doubles and Mixed
Doubles at Merton
MEETS MRS. ADAMS TODAY

Apparently not satisfied with making
a splendid bid for the singles champion
ship Of Pennsylvania and eastern states,
Miss Claire Cassell, of New York. has
entered the running for two more titles.
And, judging by her work thus far, she
has an excellent chance of grabbing the
honors and everything in the entire
three events.
Yesterday Miss Cassell advanced to
the semifinal round of the singles and
also the doubles and later in the after
noon entered the second round of the
mixed doubles. In the singles Miss
Cassell took the measure of Mrs. J..
r. Bailey, in straight sets 6-1, 6-3.
Paired with Miss Phyllis Walsh, of the
Philadelphia Country Club, Miss Cassell
is in the semifnal of the doubles through
victory over Mrs. ]. Z. Bailey and
Mrs. Robert Herold.
While only one round has been com =
pleted in the mixed doubles it is not
unwise to predict that Miss Cassell
and Wallace johnson will come through
to the finals. They gave a splendid
exhibition in their 6-1, go victory over
Miss Rebecca Thompson and H. B. En-
dicott in the first round. Their playing
easily stamped them as one of the
best teams in the event.
Today Miss Cassell will meet Mrs
G. w. Adams in the semifinal of thu
singles and in the doubles will stacl
up against Miss Caroline Stevens anc
Miss Margaret Thompson. She alsc
will play a mixed doubles match.

Report That TtUice Champion Viii Contest in Euent dt

Any Basis OF Fact
BY PETER PUTTER

the Philadelphia Cricket Club in the na 4
tional open championship and at the end
of the first days play he led the field
He tied for the championship with Alec
and Mcdonald Smith and in the play
off he was second, beaten for the title
by Alec Smith.
At that time he made the statement
that the next open champion would be
a home bred pro and when one OF the
foreign born pros asked him who Il
would be Jack said he would win It him
self. And he did. And he repeated
in 1912.
In 1913. preliminary to the open
championship. Edward Ray and Harry
Vardon toured this country. and the
first time they were beaten was in the
open tournament at Shawnee. and Jack
was the winner. 1t marked the be-
ginning of his downfall, for when the
prizes were presented Jack made 4
humorous speech. which unfortunately
was taken literally by newspaperman
present and the next day it was spread
all over the country that he had told
the two distinguished visitors they
might as we'll stay home. for home Z
bred was going TO win.
Breakdown Followed
He came in for some very hard criti-
cism and he took it very hard. He was
never the same afterwards, and while
he held his job as the professional At
Atlantic City for some time afterward
it was not long before he had mental
breakdown.
1t is rather curious, but since that
day at the Cricket Club, when the
comparatively unknown boy tied for
the first place, the open Championships
has not been won by a foreign born
pro.

he was thoroughly aware that he was
in battle.
Dundee's boxing was far superior,
but at close range fighting he found his
equal. Tiplitz was a terror when he
came to pounding the body with his
fail-like style, but the old Dundee got
in his deadly work with his left jabs
from flying formation.
In the first round, when everything
planted a cutting left to the mouth and
split Joe's lip. This caused the willing
Tiplitz trouble during the remainder of
the bout.
Sheeran D Critic
The fifth round was Dundee's best,
and it was his work in this round which
really decided the battle in his favor.
Tommy Sheeran thought the bout a
draw, but that fifth round was so much
Dundee that it was sufficient to turn
the tide.
Willie jackson did not exhibit in the
first bout. Willie, carrying the marks
of recent auto smashup, was unable
to appear against Matt Brock. That
old war horse, Harry Pierce, again
was called upon to help entertain and
Yankee Schwartz's charge did so well
that he managed to beat Brock.
Pierce won the fight in the final
thirty five seconds. Brock had a
slight shade up to this time, but when
he permitted Pierce to cross right to
the law. drop him to the mat for the
eight count and almost pass out before
the sounding of the final gong, all chance
of q Brock triumph filtered.

Tender Looms Up as Serious
Contender for LeOnard's Title
BY LOUIS H. JAFFE-

Looie Tender shapes up today as
the most formidable contender for
Benny Leonard's lightweight champion
ship. This fact was proved conclu-
sively last night at Shibe Park, when
the Philadelphia newsboy shattered all
doubt about his hitting ability by
knocking out George Knockout CLANCY
fiatter than the proverbial pancake in
less than a minute and half after the
opening gong changed.
OF course, there may be lot Of Phil
adelphia and New York fans who will
ask, "Where does Tender come off of
with Johnny DunGee around?" But
this interrogation must go by the boards,
must be given the well known merry go
by, after Dundee's exhibition last night
against Joe TiplitZ.
Dundee Lacks Punch
Dundee outboxed Tiplitz throughout
and won by couple of city blocks on
points, but he lacks the punch to be
placed on even the same footing with
Tender.
One hundred and thirty three pounds
is the official weight for the lightweight
class, and if Leonard and Tender are
to be brought together at that scale
the Philadelphia southpaw would stand
more than an even chance of dislodging
| the crown now balancing on the Gotham
gloveman brow. Philadelphia fans
should insist on a Tender Leonard
contest at the lightweight poundage,
and if Leonard refuses to make the
weight he should be forced to evacuate
his present fighting division and go into
the welterweight class.
GIassman Speaks
"Ain't / got the lightweight cham
pion of the world?" shrilled Phil
Glassman, while CLANCY, fiat on his
back, unconscious, his eyes rolling, dead
to the world, was still taking the count
from the right arm movement of Pop
O'Brien. ...-. -
For the time being Glassman had for
gotten all about the worries as tC
whether or not he had lost in the gam

weight program, which ushered in the
open air boxing season in this city.

Tn THE list of names sent out of
those who are going to play in the
national open golf championship at Brae
Burn next week the name Of Jack Me
Dermott, the Philadelphia youngster
who twice won the open title and once
tied for it. is mentioned among those
who will contest. Just where the in
formation came from is a mystery, as
Jack is not going to play in this tourna-
ment, and the chances are very doubtful
as to whether he will ever play in an
other tournament.
Several years ago he broke down men
tally. At the present time he is pa
tient at Norristown, and he has been
there for some time. He went home
for short time but his condition did
not improve and he returned to Norris
town.
1t is the first time that his name has
been mentioned in some time. While
physically he is in fine condition, men
tally he is not able TO do lot of things
that he once did.
Was a Wonder
Without doubt he was the greatest
professional ever developed in this
country. Years ago when he was a boy
in his younger teens he was caddie at
the old Aronimink Golf Club in West
Philadelphia. 1t was there he learned to
play golf. His first professional job was
at Merchantville, and while he was there
he startled the professionals by issuing
challenge to play all of them. He was
youngster and they all ignored him
but one and he was sorry afterwards
that he did not. for Jack gave him an
unmerciful trimming.

olpsles Modernixed.

Even the gypsy caravan Is becoming
modernized. One hears Of a band of
nomads "gipsying" through Indiana
In automobiles, and, even more surpris-
Ing. cooking on kerosene stoves In
stead Of by camp fires, and washing
clothes with electric washing ma
chimes. But this must be an unusually
up-to-date band Of gipsies. For Ave
hundred years, since their first record
ed appearance In eastern Europe, the
gipsies have been going about the
world, keeping curiously intact the
habits, character and language that
modern ethnologists believe they
brought with them from India and re-
NAMED always an odd combination of
picturesque vagabondage and personal
conservatism. Perhaps, however, these
highly modern gipsies anticipate the
future and are beginning, as they trav-
erse the country, to trade second
hand automobiles as they used to trade
horses.

BIG AFTER-PEAcE SCHEMES
OIL Pipeline Across the Atlantic Is
Among the Wonderful Thinas
That Are Proposed.

What with the channel tunnel, the
proposed 22-mile bridge from Folke-
stone to Cage Girls Neg, not 10 men,
tion the tunnel to Ireland, there are
some big schemes ahead, If they all
materialize, observes London Answers.
But still bigger. 1t would seem, is
the latest American project for line
Of huge pipes beneath the Atlantic for
the transport Of oil from the American
oil fields direct to Europe.
This, Of course, would be by far the
longest pipe line in the world. Ameri-
ca has a number of oil pipe lines,
which convey the petroleum from the
wells to the coast, and direct into the
tarkers. But the longest pipe line In
Europe for the conveyance Of mineral
oil is the one which connects the now
war famous town of Baku, on the Cas-
r1an sea, with BaSsn. on the Black
sca, beth of which towns are now un-
dee allied control. This pipe line was
completed just before the war end will
now be fully restored to working Or

a carrying capacity Of 100000, 900 gal
