ENGLISH GOLF STAR
 COMING FOR OPEN

- Toledo, Ohio, June 2.---Abe Nit chell. the British professional golfer who is known as the longest driver in the world, will compete in the Ameri- can open championship tournament which is to be started at Inverness on Tuesday, August 10. This announce ment was made at the club last night following the receipt of a cable from Lord Northcliffe. who employs Nit chell. Lord Northcliffe sent word that he was willing to give Mitchell a suffi- ciently long leave of absence to per init of his playing in the open. The committee here had almost given up hope of having Mitchell here.
 MitcheErs coming for the open no doubt means that he will play in the international matches at Inverness, on Saturday preceding the open. It is possible that Mitchell will go to Chi cago to take part in the Professions Golfers Association tournament which opens there on August 16.

SHAWKEY ELIGIBLE
 AGAIN ON THURSDAY

Ban Johnson was in New York yes terday to talk with John Heydler about action regarding players who have Jumped to independent leagues this year. Two recent Jumpers are Kinney of the Athletics and Shevlin of the Browns. The major league presidents favor kee-ing the jumpers out of organized ball for all time. The matter will be worked out by the Ma tional Commission, which is composed of the aforementioned major league presidents It looks as if this thing of a new chairman for the National Com mission is dead issue for a time. Johnson said frankly yesterday that nobody would be chosen for a while yet.
 What about Shawkey?" Ban was asked. When does his suspension for punching Umpire Hildebrand expire?" He'll be eligible. Thursday was the answer How much fine are you go- ing to give him?'' Well, that's a point I haven't decided yet. I'll de- eide in a. day or two"
 It was last Thursday that Shawkey had his fight on the field with Hide brand, so that his suspension will have lasted a. week

SHAMROCK TAKES
 ITS TRIAL SPIN
Challenger Shows Impress sive Speed in Two Hour Test on Long Island Sound.

At last the Shamrock ". has had her first trial spin. She had two and half hours of it in very light to fair west southwesterly breezes yesterday afternoon. During t7,~- time she was put through all points of sailing and went as far to the westward as Step ping Stones and to Execution to the eastward, but she only carried main sail, jib and staysail.
 It was merely a sail and -1~ging- stretching spin, and she stretched both aplenty Frequently during the two and a half hours she was out, stays and halliards were frightened, but at the conclusion of her initial spin they were slack.
 Even at the start, when there was scarcely any breeze at all, the myste- rious, green Nicholson creation seemed to glide over the placid sur face of the Sound al a most surprising rate, and later. as the breeze fresh ened and she sped by. close. to other craft, she seemed even more a crea- ton of speed, but no one, from this initial performance, can do more than agree that she seems speedy and still is a mystery.

ROBINS LEAD IN
 NATIONAL LEAGUE
Defeat Giants and Climb In to First Place In Pen
 nant Chase

As viewed from strictly Brooklyn viewpoint, Hi Myers won a ball game 1t Ebbets Field yesterday. Sized up from a Manhattan angle, Larry Doyle lost one. These two players were the hero and william, respectively. in the final tilt of the three-game series be- tween the marlborough rivals, the Giants and Robins, and as a rseult of what Hi did and Larry didn't do the Robins rode to a 19-9 victory in the ninth Inning.
 It was a memorable triumph for the athletes who draw down cheeks with the signature of Charley Ebbets thereon. The victory not only gave the F1atbush troupe a clean sweep in the set with their rivals from the other side of the bridges but. carried the Robins into first place in the Ma tional League pennant procession. The Cincinnati Reds furnished some valuable. aid in bringing about this happy conclusion by taking a game from the Cubs, who had been on even terms with the Robinson troupe.
 The battle was one of those see-saw affairs in which the lead changed fre- quently. Pitchers passed in review and passed out of sight after taking enough punishment to qualify for wound stripes. Christy Mathewson, who was directing the destiny of the Giants, used three of the headliners of the McGraw staff and probably would have called on another if that sock by Myers in the final frame had not settled the ball game. Douglas, the last of the New York trio, fared no better than Benton and Nehf, who had received earlier calls to duty.

CHICAGO CHARGES
 ATTRACTS ATTENTION

The charges made by the Chicago Cubs that Lee Magee was guilty of betting against his own club and that he played dishonest baseball, has at tracted much attention among the fans. If the charges are true the game is we'll rid of Magee. The question now being asked is why were Heine Zimmerman and Hal Chase, of the New York Giants dropped? Their exit from baseball came about the same time as Lee Magee's. If these players are guilt less of wrongdoing, their regulations should be set right with the fans.

FRENCH RACING MAD
 SAYS w. P. THOMPSON

w. P. Thompson, who formerly raced in partnership with his brother, Louis B., and in whose co1ors TAI louette won the Futurity, was a wis
 itor at Belmont Park yesterday. He has just returned from France. "The French are racing mad,' said MT. Thompson, land the attendance at all the courses is much greater than before the war. The sport has been splendid, with great rivalry between four or five of the leading stables
 France has a great three-year-old in Odol, which had not been beaten up to the time I left. Pendennis, MT. Macomber's colt, is also making a great reputation for himself They breed and race for stamina over there- On the Sunday before I left I saw a three-year-old win at two and a half miles, and come back on the following Thursday and win at a mile and three-quarters''

NOTABLES ATTENDING
 COLUMBIA BALL GAME:

It isn't every college baseball game that can have three Republican Pres identical candidates among it's specta- tors, and, as a result of this distinct novelty, elaborate preparations were made yesterday by Columbia Univer- sfty athletic authorities to do justice to the occasion. After receiving hon. orary degrees today from President Nicholas Murray Butler, Herbert c. Hoover and General John J. Pershing will attend the annual Commencement Day game on South Field between Columbia and it's anicent foe, Penn sylyania Admiral William S. Sims, another to fbe honored. will also be at the game. The Columbia graduate manager, Lester c. Danielson, has res urrected from the dusty confines of a storehouSe two boxes used at football games and has had these placed out in front of the grandstand for the three new alumni. Just before the game, which will begin at 3:30 o'clock, the annual commencement day cos tune parade and antics of various classes will be held on South Field.

Great Crowds Attend
 British Derby Stakes
King George and Queen Mary at Epson Downs Where Tetrateina Is .Favorite In Twenty-two
 Entries
London, June 2-Captain G. Loder's Spion .Kop won the classic derby at Epson Downs today.

London, June 2-Major Mccall mont's Tetratema was the favorite of the twentytwo entries that went to the starting barrier today in great est event of the British flat racing season-the derby stakes the historic course of Epson Downs. 9th CT thoroughbreds in the race that were fancied were Lord -Derby's Ar chaic, Allenby, Daylight Patrol, Polu- metis and He Goes
 The day broke fine and large numbers of people soon were making their way to Epson over various routes. The indications were that the attendance would be one of the largest in history. King George, who attended the opening meeting of the Epson season on Tuesday and was given great reception, was ac- companied by Queen Mary to the race today.
 One of the conspicuous features of this years derby was the increased popularity of sweepstakes on the re- suit, and it was difficult to find any gathering of people where this form of having a f1utter' was not adopted The world famous Calcutta Sweep stakes is stated to have eclipsed all records and it is estimated that the first prize will be in the neigh borhood of 0S,00 pounds. The London stock exchange sweepstakes will give the winner of first prize 5000 pounds.
 Promoters of war charities and other movements today were appeal ing to lucky prize winners to devote part of their winnings to the assist. ance of unfortunates.

SQUARE DEALER IS
 FIRST IN CLASSIC

The International Steeplechase which was inaugurated in 1895 and has since been one of Americas premier cross country events was decided at Bel mont Park yesterday afternoon, but it did not furnish the spectacle and thrills of former years. As a feature it was a fizzle. Only three horses went in quest of the purse, and none of them could be mentioned in the same breath with the immortal Good and Plenty or The Brook, which won the event last year.
 Mrs. Payne Whitney's Square Dealer was much the best of the trio which went forth to do battle, and he won eased up by eight lengths. This six year-old son of Marathon and Senora Maria ran we'll and jumped we'll and covered the short two mile course in 4:12 3-5---good time for the distance, but many seconds slower than the rec ord.

MIKE O'DOWD IS
 SHOWING METTLE

-Middleweight Champ O'Dowd refuses to be chased as a back number" just because he happened to stumble into one of Johnny Will sons wicked haymakers a short time ago and go down for the count. Mike is right now as busy as a bee rebuild ing the rep which that upstart Wilson shattered with one wicked blow.
 While the new champ is emulating other well known boxing champs by going into vaudeville. Mike is fighting. And let me here remark that fighting is the correct word. Very recently he won a newspaper decision over Jack Britton, the welterweight cham pion, and hung a k. O. over on George K. O. Brown More may be expected from Mike e'er long.

CAN MEREDITH COME
 BACK TO OLD FORM?

Followers of track and field ath- letics are just now particularly inter ested in the attempt of Ted Meredith, the former crack middle distancer of the University of Pennsylvania and star of the Stockholm Olympic games in 1912, to come back. Although Ted has been away from the running track for three years, and has accum- ulated not a little surplus weight, he is still a young man and may still prove to be one of the greatest middle distance runners in the United States
 Meredith is evidently very much in earnest in his attempt to get back into his old time form. and from last re- ports he is training diligently. The good effects of his training are al- ready noticeable in his appearance.

YANKEES VAULT
 INTO 2D PLACE
Ruth Takes Turn in Box
 and Breaks Altitude Rec .5 ord on Batted Balls.

The Tanks vaulted into second place in the flag hunt yesterday, wal Hoping Washington at the Polo Grounds in slugging matinee by a score of 14 to '. By way of recrea -tion, Babe Ruth left right field and took a fling at the pitching job. When the Tanks got in front by a margin of a mere ten runs in the fifth, Man ager Huggins considered it an ex- travagance to have his $125,OO beauty wasting his high-priced energy on~a beaten ball club, so the slugger was sent back to his berth in right field.
 It was a novelty to see Ruth in the box The fans had almost forgotten that Rube was a pitcher. His repu- tation as a home-run smasher has overshadowed his other accomplish ments, but, as a matter of fact Babe is just about as versatile ball play CT as treads the diamond. He can do anything on a ball club and do it we'll Yesterday he displayed his speed of foot by beating out a hit to first base. He also got a double, to break up the monotony of long dis 'tance hitting.
 Babe tried his b1amedest to get a home run in the first inning, and he came within a few inches of it. He poked a. ball so high, that it broke all attitudes records in baseball. It was. the greatest perpendicular crack that ever bounded off a bat. Bobby Roth was laying back against the right field wall and got it. He had to wait a long time for it to come down. He stood against the wall so long waiting for the ball to come down that the crowd thought Bobby had gone to sleep.

AUSTRALIAN WOOL
 MAKES LIVELIER BALL

There's been some slashing hitting In baseball this year, which, Ban Johnson says, is due in part to the quality of bars. A better quality of horsehide is being obtained by the manufacturers and they are getting yarn of Australian wool something they weren't getting previously The yarn is of a quality which gives add -ed--Nliveliness and resiliency to balls, hence their &greater spring and inn petus svkKe rfts leaving the bat How ever, they could be wrapped with lead and Babe Ruth would drive them.

Boys Morrison Club.

On March 23rd, thirty-nine
students of the Rockingham
High School voluntarily formed
themselves into a Cameron
Morrison Club" And the follow
ing letter written by them to
Mr.. Morrison sets forth the rea-
sons why they heartily favor
Mr.. Morrison for Governor:
Rockingham, N. G.,
March "a, 1920.
Mr.. Cameron Morrison,
Charlotte, N. C.
Dear Sir:
In view of the fact that the cleo
ton of Governor for North Carolina
affects us as students, the boys of the
Rockingham High School, 1907
strong, met in a democratic body and
organized Cameron Morrison" club
for Governor.
We feel that your election to the
Governor of North Carolina will
mean much to us and to the State in
an educational and business way. We
have picked you from the three Gu
bernatorial aspirants as our man for
Governor because your past record for
these twenty-eight years as strong
supporter of the Democratic party
convinces us that you are the best
qualified. We have selected you not
for domestic relations, but because of
the principles which you have upheld
in the past. 1t was largely through
your unceasing devotion to Chas. B.
