Long Shots Defeat
 GeOrgianna Bishop
Mrs Fetner Takes Advantage of Bridgeport Woman On the Long Holes to Win Metropolitan
 EE# 8f Ff ~T5* Golf Title

Making the most of the advantage which her remarkably long game gave her on the long holes, Mrs. Quentin Feftner of Shore Field club, Bayshore, L. l., yesterday turned a two hole deficit. into a, victory, and by scoring four straight successes be- tween the 18th and 18th holes annexed the Women's Metropolitan Golf Asso- citation championship for the sixth time in her career when she defeated Miss Georgiana M. Bishop of Brook lawn Country Club, Bridgeport, Conn, by up and 1 to play in the final of the annual classic over the links of the Greenwich Country Club.
 Up to the time that the finaHsts started down the long stretch that sheers away from he 18th tee and off, fers plenty of scope for the use of tn, brassie Miss Bishop looked very much as IT she intended to upset all predic- tlons and scamper away with the title from a. player who oUtdrove her by so great a distance that she generally ga1ned stroke on every two full swipes. To these long holes Mrs f'e1tner's admirers were looking for her to swing the match and turn the tables Nor were they disappointed, for the South Shore star gave an even more dazzling display than she had
 
 C. M. Knight, the Englishwoman, and registered distances on her shots that will remain for years the marvel and despair of the average woman player and something for the golfers of the male persuasion to try to emulate
 One of the fair contAstants was heard to remark that Mrs. F'eitner de- served to hold the championship if for nothing else than the excellence of her swing. However, form is one thing and shots and figures som ething else again. Miss Bishop has a very short swing, gets nothing like the same dis tance as Mrs. Feitner, but her game is built on the Travis order, most of her wooden club shots being straight down the middle of the course and her short game deadly. Practically all the way around Miss Bishop played the odd; in fact, most of the time she was struggling to get her ball close enough on the approach to discount the tremendous advantage her oppo- nent had enjoyed on the play through the green. That she was eminently successful for two-thirds of the way is proved by the score card, which dis closes an advantage of two holes en- joyed by the Brooklawn representa-. tive at the 12th-

EXPLAINS BALDWIN'S
 DESIRE TO BE JAILED

Steve Mahoney, the Boston pugi- listic expert, furnishes an explanation of the recent announcement that Matty Baldwin had applied for ad- mission to jail in order that he might train for a bout. It appears that chap named Matthew F. Sullivan, more less famous boxer. had as- stunned the ring name of Matty Bald win, following the death of the vet eran two years ago. It seems that Sullivan was matched for a glove con- test, but owing to the ease with which he obtained liquids taboo under the Volstead act he applied to the East Boston probation officer for term in jail and appeared in the East Boston court, where he pleaded guilty to charge of drunkenness, requested a nd was granted a five day jail sentence
 to keep him in a state of sobriety in preparation for the bout.

 Tn American League
St. Louis Star Passes Speaker During Week and Upto Wednesday Enjoyed Batting Average of 4O8-.-
 Hornsby Leads National Race

Chcago, June 19-George Sisler of St. Louis, is blazing the trail for the batters of the American League, ac- cording to averages including gam es of Wednesday released today. He was second to Iris Speaker of Cleve- land a week ago, but shot into first place with an average of 40S, while an average of 392. Joe Jackson of Chicago, is third with 374.
 Sislers has connected with IS hits in seven games. He has a total of S5 safe blows for 51 games. With the season a third finished, "Ba be- Ruth, champion home run hitter, seems certain of establishing a new record, as he is only ten behind the mark of 29 he set last season. He drove out his nineteenth circuit smash during the second game of the Chicago-New York series, driving the ball over the right field bleachers. Last year he attained his eighteenth home run on August 16.
 Speaker is leading Ruth by one as a run getter, having registered 5l times. Eddie Rice of Washington, continues to show the way to the base stealers, his 22 thefts remaining high.

There was little change among the leading batters of the National | League. Roger Hornsby of St. Louis l added a few points to his average, as 1 did Nicholson of Pittsburgh, who be- | came the runner up to the St. Louis | star, displacing Daubert of Cinein- l nati, whose slump put him in third 1 place.
 Hornsby is batting 393; Nicholson 1 351; and Daubert 346. Hornsby, ir ] addition to heading the batters is the l best run getter. He has registered II times, his nearest competitor be- 1 ing Stock. a team mate, and F'lacR 1 of Chicago, who are tied, each hay 1 ing scored 35 runs

SHAMROCK W WINS
 FROM SISTER YACHT

Sir Thomas Lipton was overjoyed yesterday after he had watched the initial sail stretching spin of Sham rock IV. against her trial horse, Shamrock "23," off Sandy Hook T am confident now" said Sir Thomas, "that I have the best boat that I ever brought over for the cup. The four leaved Shamrock is the greatest of all mascots and I am going to lift the cup. Why, the 23 meter Sham rock won hundreds of prizes in Eng fish waters. But I would exchange them all for the Americas Cup"
 The regular trial of 50 miles was put off for want of wind, but instead the boats were sent over a course of about II miles. On this Shamrock ". sailed rings around Shamrock "23'' At the start, while there was any sort of a sailing breeze, the chal- lenger crossed the bow of her trial horse, went around her, worked through her lee and forged ahead again. Facing the Scotland Light ship the 23 meter Shamrock got the better start of wind and jibed around it in the lead.

DOUG" AND MARY RECEIVE BOQUET
 BY AERO ROUTE

Flowers were plentiful in the suite of Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pick ford on the liner Lapland on which they sailed on their honeymoon trip to Europe June 12th, but the biggest bouquet of all came when the big ship had borne them out beyond Sandy Hook.
 Just a short time after the Lap land left her dock in the Hudson River a message came fickering out of the West by telegraph from a friend of the talented young couple ordering four dozen American beauty roses as farewell gift. It looked as if the presentation would have to be postponed until their return, for the LapIand was already heading ocean ward with black smoke pouring from her tunnels.
 The story of the belated bouquet reached Charles F. Redden, Sales Manager of the Aeromarine Plane & Motor Company, and he decided that they should have their bouquet. He telephoned hastily to the Aeromarine factory for flying linn cuisine, took the bouquet aboard, and the plane roared down the river and out through the Narrows in hot pursuit of the liner. The Lapland was mak- ing good time, but she could not match the flying boat.
 Passengers taking their last look at Sandy Hook were startled suddenly to see the flying boat come roaring | up to the liner and c1rcIe around as if with hostile attempt. Nervous voyagers wondered if the war was really over. Everyone on board who could get on deck crowded to the rails. At every circle the boat came lower. Finally a mechanic, Adie1 Le Strange, climbed out on the wing with the bouquet in his hand As the plane swooped down on the liner and people aboard craned upward a the daring mechanic he droppe> the bouquet. It burst like a flowery y bombshell on the hurricane deck of the liner, and before Doug and Mary could do no more than wave their thanks it was speeding back to the coast

BERMUDA MOTOR BOAT
 RACE IS POSTPONED

As the result of strikes in ship yards and a late fitting out season the Bermuda motor boat race of the Columbia cYacht Club, which was to have been started from. West Eighty sixth street and Riverside. Drive next Saturday,, has been called off and postponed for one year. The first one to enter was Vincent Astor with his motor yacht Cristina, and at least five others were expected to compete for the prizes in the contest to the Lily Isle. However, three of the craft were held up because of trou- bles in the yards where they were nearing completion and as a result the contest will go over until next year.

DETROIT MERCILESS
 TO SEALING BOXERS

The boxing authorities of Detroit, Mich, are determned to strictly en- force the rules there against stalling, I am glad to learn. A couple of fourth raters-Leo Johnson, a negro from New York and Harry Cook, of Detroit-were recently thrown out of a Detroit ring for trying to fox-trot instead of fight.
 Detroit has the right idea. The day of the stalling fighter is-or at any rate, it should be-past. Nothing, perhaps, has hurt boxing much as has the boxer parasites who would sooner fake their way through a ring contest than to actually fight Every city should deal as strictly with this type of nuisance as Detroit.

LEONARD GIVES LEW
 TENDLER 30 DAYS

. Billy Gibson, the manager of Benny Leonard, the worlds lightweight champion, wires from Los Angeles that he is waiting to hear from Lew Tender as to the latter's desire to meet the champion in 15-round decision fight. GibSon's wire con tains the following information:
 "On May 2Oth offered Tendler &,500 to meet Leonard in 15-round bout in New York City to a decision. Have given challenger 30 days to ac- cept and also to post forfeit of s5,o00 to prove sincerity. The weight to be at the recognized limit which the Walker bill calls for. This is the first time in the history of boxing that a champion ever challenged a con- tender. It is a question now of ac- cepting or stop the blufhng.''

TWO FRENCH BOXERS
 HERE AFTER THE COIN

Two more French boxers have re-
 gently landed in the United States.
 They are Andre B1azi, a 135 pound
 boy, and Marseilles Clerc, who held
 the 13O-pound title of France for five years. The American boxing fans have no objections to an invasion of French boxers, but they do hope that these boxers are real fighters, and not f1ivvers after the style of Georges Papin. The fans are unwilling to pay good money to see a F'renchman give imitation of a sprinter or a Rip Van Wrinkle.
