SELECT OLYMPIC
COACH NEXT WEEK
Moakley and Robertson Favored
to Guide American Athletes
at Antwerp

New York, June 30.-The important
work Of selecting a coach for Americas
Olympic team will be attended to at the
meeting at the New York A. o., July
6, Of the executive committee OF the
American Olympic committee.
This became known last night when
Frederick w. Ruben, secretary to the
American Olympic committee. took oc-
casion TO deny reports which had
reached here to the effect that Jack
Moakley. Cornell athletic coach, and
Lawson Robertson, University Of Penn
sylyania track and field mentor, had
been definitely selected for the impor-
tant berths.
While denying the authenticity OF the
reported selections, Secretary Ruben
nevertheless admitted that Coaches
Moakley and Robertson are being Sc
riously considered for the task OF di-
recting the preparatory work OF Amer. :.
ica's athletes before the international
competitions.
The reports which reached this dis
trict were to the effect that the vet
eran Moakley had been appointed to
coach the track squad while Robertson
had been selected to look after the per
formers In the field events.
No secret is made of the fact that
these two coaches. regarded as the
greatest in the country, are favorites
for the honor of guiding America e
Olympic track and field men. Their
knowledge of athletics has resulted in
their being made favorites for the coach =
ing berths. Whether both will be Sc
lected, however, remains TO be seen,
The report that the committee is con
sidering the advisability Of appointing
two coaches reflects a departure from
the original plan, which favored the in
stallation of one coach, with an assis
tant, as was the case when the team
went to Stockholm in 1912, when the
late Mike Murphy was in charge, with
Robertson as his assistant.

ENTRIES are still piling in, the
~ course has never been in better
shape, there is a case full of ever
pleasing prizes, and every indication
at the Old York Road Country Club to-
day was for a most successful invita- :
ton golf tournament.
The three day affair starts tomorrow
to qualify for the several sixteens, alter
which there will be four rounds of
match play, including the finals at
eighteen holes Saturday afternoon.
The entry list has been limited to
players of 1913 handicap or lcwer,
which fact develops that, exclusive of
two or three clubs In that neighbor-
Philadelphia district eligible to play
according to the figures furnished.
Fine Showing
The entry list yesterday noon had
reached 10. the committee said, which
was even then obliged to change the
starting times to accommodate the pro-
cession.
This is an exceptional fine showing
for one of the smaller clubs to make.
1t is the season of sizzling heat, Of
vacations and so forth, as well as the
week Immediately following the end of
the super tourney crowded month of
June. But instead of the dates mark
ing slack in the local interest in
tourney competition, the opposite would
seem to be the case.
Those who have not played the course
for q matter of two or three years will
scarcely know it. Willie Parke, the
famous ex British open champion. spent
considerable time and thought in the
matter of readjusting the holes for
better golf shots.
o. Jack Campbell. pro there. states that
the second, third, tenth. eleventh and
twelfth holes are all new. The fourth
is now an elbow hole, requiring two
shots and pitch: the old fifth has been
changed from one and a pitch to a one
shotter, a pretty hole of about 10
yards.
The sixth is now forty yards longer,
the thirteenth about forty yards longer
than it used to be and fifty yards have
been added to the sixteenth.
Thus not many of the holes remain
the same as of yore.
The prizes make fine display. For
the winner of the low gross score there
will be tall silver flower vase. The
winner of the tournament will receive
a very large aud handsome silver water
pitcher, and there's large silver sand
wich tray for the runner-up.
A vase goes to the winner of the
second with silver coffee percolator
to the man he beats.
The winner Of the third sixteen gets
vegetable dish and there's a water
pitcher for the runner-up and so on
down the line.
Old York Road makes a fine setting
for an invitation affair. Good turf,
and fast greens on the sparsely trapped
course ought to pave the way for good
scoring. The committee has left moth
ing undone to make the affair a sue
cess.

GIANTS PROVE THEY STILL MUST
BE CONSIDERED SERIOUSLYLNRACE
FOR RPENNANTLNNA 7TONAL LEAGUE
BY ROBERT w. MAXWELL
sports Editor Evening Public Iedrer

MO MATTER what they say about the New York
Giants it is very classy ball club, and we probably
will them in the second division again this year
The athletes McCraws payroll have been working
here since last Friday and in the FIVE proved to
all of those present that the team is to be considered
seriously in the battle for the pennant.
Down South the club did not look good. Frisch
was experiment at third Doyle getting too slow
to cover second and Kelly awkward first base
Fletcher the only real player in the inner
works Now Frisch is of the best third sackers in
the league Bancroft of the greatest
shortstops Eddie Sticking is getting by at second and
George Kelly has developed into first sacker of no mean
ability t.rA ~. &c.,. 49,.
The only thing missing has been good pitching. The
Giants have a formidable hurting staf with Barnes,
Toney, Douglas, Nehf and Benton but they did not get
going until last week and appear to be in top
shape. The weather has oosened them up, and IL
they continue to pitch good ball the New Workers will
begin steady advance for the top.
As as my pitchers hit their stride, just watch
step into the first division" said McGraw before the
club left last night 1--WE haven't the best oued in the
world but isn't the worst either The nfed is look
ing better every day. the catching staff is good
In the league, it is to the hurers Right they
look good"
The National League race Is so close that any Of
the eight clubs likely to win. You cant anybody
out, yet. The teams punched and the that
puts winning streak first will have the edge The
Giants 1t must be remembered noted for their spurs
In 1916 they nineteen straight the road and later
In the season registered twenty six in a
Therefore the Giants should be closely watched. Gin
cinnati is having tough time of it, between uncertain
pitching and fighting with the umpes Brooklyn. with
its swell pitching staff, is the kids Boston and the
Phies doing the best they can and the other clubs
are bitterly contesng every battle.
The Cubs going strong St: Louis is up in front
and Pittsburgh is making things interesting for the oppo
nents It's the closest the National has had in
years and the fans are all het up over it.

At Dawn Of Career

At Dawn Of Career
Never on British soil was ever such
tennis seen as that which sparkled from
Tilden's racquet, and the best part of Il
Is that he is virtually at the dawn of his
career.
Although Tilden has played tennis
most of his life, he did not rise to ma
tional prominence until 1918, when he
won the national clay court champion
ship and was ranked No. 2 in the first
ten. That year Tilden went to the fin-
ais in the allcomers at Forest Hills.
but was beaten by r. Lindley Murray
for the title. Murray was rated No.
as the result of his victory.
This is the first time that Tilden has
ever represented the United States on
the Davis cup team. Since 1914 there
have been no matches played for this
trophy, and at that time Tilden was un-
known as tennis player except in
Philadelphia and vicinity.
One of the reasons why Bill Tilden
did not leap into higher ranks earlier is
because he was trying to develop the
game, not his game, in Philadelphia.
He is member Of the Germantown
Cricket Club, a native Of Philadelphia
and has always wanted to see the Qua =
ker City stand high in tennis rating.
He believed that the best way to ac-
complish this was to instruct the
young. Consequently he has done more
than any other man in this vicinity to
help young players. He made Carl
Fischer, the flashy left handed captain
of the University of Pennsylvania
Charley Watson and many other boys
who have developed into tennis stars.
He also put Vincent Richards on the
road to fame.
In 1918 Tiden and Richards won
the doubles championship, playing
through the Tournament and defeating
Frederick B. Alexander and Beals G.
Wright in the finals.
Many Times Winner
In the last few years Tilden has won
many tournaments, including the Penn
