MatheWson Will
Retire from Big
League Baseball

New York, July 3.-Christy Ma
thewson, for nearly twenty years
one of New York's baseball idols,
has decided to quit the national
game for good. He has been suffer-
ing from byonchitis for the last
fortnight and in 4 few days will go
to Lake Placid in the Adirondacks
for a vacation. and probably will
not return to New York City for
some time.
Matty. as the big fellow is best
known, has been connected with the
Giants. except for the year when
he was manager of the Cincinnati
Reds, since 1901. He helped, with
Joe McGinnity. to pitch the Giants
to. a pennant in 1904; pitched the
Giants to another pennant and a
world championship in 1905; kept
his team in the hunt with the great
Cub machine through 1906. 1907.
1908, 1910 and 1911, and then aided
in winning pennants in three
straight years. 1911, 1912 and 1913.
He retired from active service in
1916, but was always a close friend
and adviser of John McGraw. He
had a successful year as manager
of the Reds in 1918 and would have
been reengaged last year but was
on military duty in France and Gar
ry Hermann had to take Pat Mo-
ran instead.
"Matty' then became a coach of
the Giants.

London. July 3. - Despite a lame
leg which threatened to keep him
out OF the challenge round for the
British national tennis champion
ship, William T. Tilden, the Ameri-
can, took the court at Wimbledon
this morning against Gerald Patter-
son, the Australian 1919 title holder.
Patterson got away in the lead
by winning the first set at 6-2, but
the American evened the count by
smashing his way through the sec
ond set and winning 6-3.
In the second set. however. Tilden
found himself and opened with the
spectacular game that marked his
play all through the tournament. He
took the second set at 6-3 and kept
up the pace in the third and fourth
sets, winning the match and the
championship by scores of GO and
Ga.
First American TO Win.
Tilden's victory makes him the
first American to win the champion
ship and it was the climax of won
derful exhibition of court skill and
daring made after the American
champion. William NJ. Johnston had
been eliminated. placing upon the
broad shoulders of Tilden, Ameri-

Tilden long has been rated as one
of the best players in America. His
game has greatly improved in the
last year during which he was a
runner-up in the American Nation

as number two in the ranking list

CAMP MEADE STADIUM
DEDICATED BY BIG
ATHLETIC CARNIVAL

Camp Meade's new athletic sta
dunn was dedicated today in the
most appropriate manner possible
with a meet, in which several hum
dred members of the cantonment
competed, officers and men alike,
and which was witnessed by large
group OF spectators, including
among other distinguished visitors
Orig. Gen. Wright. acting chief of
staff of the United States army.
The members of the Seventeenth
Infantry, which. has on its roster
many men from Maryland. Delaware
and the District of Columbia, won
the honors Of the meet with 81
points. The soldiers Of the Tank
Corps gained second place. with 3S
points; the Twelfth Infantry men
took third place, with 81 points;
the hospital finished fourth, with b
points, and the military police came
home in fifth position, with points.
Mayne. of the Tank Corps. was the
individual star of the meet, and
helped greatly to boost the score of
his organization. He won first place
In the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes
and was a member of the winning
team in the 440-yard relay.
The Seventeenth Infantry and the
military police eliminated all COM
petitors in the preliminaries in the
tug-of-war. and pulled against each
other in the finals, which the dough-
boys won in AZ seconds.
Two of the interesting events
were the wrestling matches on
horeback and the wheelbarrow race.
Harding. of the Seventeenth, cap
tured the wrestling honors.
In the wheelbarrow race two men
a team competed. One man wheeled
his chum up an inclin and over a
trestle. Capt. Hoover. of the Sew
enteenth Infantry, was the only
contestant in the Argonne equip
ment race. He had some job for a
hot day. He wore a full pack, a
gas mask, carried a rife and fifty
rounds of ammunition and then
travelled 500 meters in minutes
and II seconds. 1t was some stunt.

organization.
In addition to the two players
the National mogul also tenders
big cash consideration for the Two
Southern Leaguers.
Calvo and Carlson will leave
Tuesday for Little Rock, though
Miller and Brottem--will not join
the Nationals until next season.
Grifith expects the new men to
strengthen the club considerably
next year. Miller Is rated as the
best fly chaser in the South, and Is
far above the 800 mark,
according to reports from Joe En-
gle, who has been watching his
work. He Is noted as home run
swatter. Recently he made three
circuit drives in one series against

ing them through the entire season.
He also has a splendid throwing
arm and is a fast man on the bases.
Brottem a Husky Receiver.
Brottem is a husky receiver. who
is hitting in a timely manner and
has a remarkable throwing arm.

am looking forward to next year"
said Griffith in announcing the deal.
These men appear to have the
goods and ought to help us a lot
next season. / especially like the
reports 1 get on Miller who Is de-
clared to be the class OF the South.
His work this season indicates that
he ought to be able to hold his
own in the majors"
The loss of Calvo will not weaken
the Griffs to any extent, as Hank
Shanks, now on third. will be able
to move to the outfield in case of
emergency O'Neill and Ellerbe are
retained as reserve infielders, and
Ellerbe can play the outer works in
a pinch Carlson. who gives promise
of developing into a star pitcher, Is
considered a little too green for
the big tent now and a season in
the Southern ought to develop him
greatly.
Tony Brottem. the catcher. has
had a major league trial before.
He was with the st. Louis Cardinals
before going to Little Rock. He Is
one of the best throwing catchers
in the game. He is slugger and
a reliable batter.

Quite a bit has been written in a
comparative way about the best
amateur golfers in America. There
are now Several applicants for this
title. But leaving out the competi-
tive angle and coming directly to
the leading exponents of perfect
golfing style, from the tee to the
green, the two selections are un-
doubtedly. Chick Evans and Bobby
Jones. We mean by this to take
the way that each stroke is made
with the wood. the driving iron. the
mid iron, the mashie and the mashie
niblick, and this pair will be the
one you would rather copy IL you
had a chance to model your game
upon any one style.
Their two styles are not exactly
alike, but neither are they far
apart. Their grips are a trifie diff
ferent. and so are their stances
But these, after all, are unessen-
tials.
For Two Reasons.
What is 1t, then, about these two
styles that the average duffer
should attempt to copy?
Why Is it that they are just a
bit sounder in the matter of play
ing each stroke?
First, there is the matter of COM
pactness. With perfect ease there
isn't sign of looseness. There is
a noticeable crispness to the iron
play of both where the wrists come
in with a firm snap as the ball is
hit. In the second place there is
also a wonderful amount of rhythm
to each swing. Neither hurries any
stroke. The club comes back with
a steady, even sweep that foretells
almost perfect timing.
The fast, jerky back swing that
hampers so many good players is
not in their bag. Without being
too deliberate they take their time
on the back swing and on the down
swing take their time at hitting
the ball. Which is to say that
neither attempts to apply the power
too soon-a common fault among
average players.
Roth Chick and Bobby start their
down swing with the idea of speed
ing up the club until IL reaches It's
fastest flight as the ball is struck
continuing the momentum for a few
inches beyond. The club head
doesn't start whistling down and
then slacken up just before the ball
Is reached.
Another Factor.
You will find. too, that both dip In

time. which Is back of the stroke
