Eastern Athletes

Resent Official Holding Posi-
tions of Both Starter and
Referee.

New York, Aug. 13.-(Special.) y
Ted Meredith says that the last OF
the track and field athletes who
went to the national championships
in Pasadena are back, and with them
they have brought some very weird
stories of how this meet was con-
Quoted 1t is not a matter of "sour
grapes" in any of the cases, as the
stories OF both the Boston and New
York men agree in every way.
The one thing that they kicked
about was the acting of Bob Weav-
er, president of the A. A. u, as both
starter and referee of this meet. This
is something that had never been
known to happen in any meet, no
matter how small, and certainly nev-
er in national championship. They
are two jobs in a track meet that
would conflict more than any other
two, probably excepting starter and
timer, which would be a physical
impossibility in most Of the races.
The referee should be free from all
other duties in order that he can see
that the meet is run according to
all rules and the decisions that are
made iustly.

New York, Aug. l3.-(Special y
Once more the ominous bulk of Jess
Willard of Kansas. casts its shadow
athwart the local fistic pathway.
Tex Rickard evidently cannot believe
that Willard is as inferior to Jack
Dempsey as he showed himself to
be at Toledo on July 4, 1919. Rick
ard really felt sorry for Jack Demp-
sey when he made that match, and
indications point to his feelings for
return bout between the two on
Labor day.
Willard is reported to be anxious
to meet his conqueror again. Why
shouldn't he be? He no doubt fig
ures that the least he can get for
taking another beating Is $50,000
That would be pretty sweet for a
fellow like Willard, who is over 40
yeats of age now.
Willard wasn't in shape at Toledo
and the chances are he cannot get in
real fighting condition any more
now. He may be able to train
enough fat off to look physically fit,
but it's a good bet that he cont

The late Ned Hanlon used to say
that when he was managing the old
Baltimore Orioles, all he had to do
was to keep score, and keep track
OF whose turn it was to pitch, in

With such players as McGraw, Jen-

Great Team Spirit.
Nor was it necessary for the man

of his men. ( a player pulled a

Vincent Richards Says Tennis
Champion Is Overplayed
Or Stale

New York, Aug. l3.-(Special).-
Vincent Richards does not agree IN
the opinion expressed in some quar-
tiers that William 7. Tilden IS gong
back in his play. He says:
"My own personal opinion OF the
champion is that he is overplayed or
stale No player can expect to
plav as much tennis as Iilden and
still expect to feel keen about play
ing at the end OF such long cam
paign. :.
When we stop to thing about it,
he has been playing close to one
wear without letup in nearly every
place in the world. Who can 40
that steadily for a years l really
think Tilden is the only one who
could accomplish this feat and still
look racquet in the face. In our
recent match | tried some new tao
tics: that is to say. instead OF trying
to keep the ball close to the lines l
plaved the center OF the court almost
continually. This is called the Cen
ter theory" As the worlds champion
is a large man he naturally likes a
bali at arms reach. and not getting
It there he is forced to cramp his
stvle to make return.

with an exceptionally good day that
helped me to defeat the champion.

New York, Aug. l3.-(Specia1 y
Once more the New York Women's
S. A. has produced young won-
der swimmer. Miss Gertrude Eder-
lie, barely IA years old, has performed
two feats which place her ahead of
all mermaids of her age in a meet
at Springlake, N. J. She thrashed
SO yards in 80 is seconds and 100
yards in 1 minute 8 rs seconds in
the 75-foot pool of the Bathing and
Tennis club. The former time is
equal to the figures returned by Miss
Charlotte Boyle in winning the ma
tional ha1f-century championship
last winter. The latter is by long
odds the fastest ever made by a
girl under IA, and it is worthy Of
note that Miss Ederle won her
previous race at the 100 in | minute
IS seconds, which indicates an i'm
provement of more than four Sec

Here's Jacks One
Chance to Lick at
Least One German

There is a chance for Dempsey
to whip one German, for a challenge
comes from Berlin in the form of
letter addressed to the New Yorl.
Herald, part of which reads:
"A challenge for. the worlds
champion, Jack Dempsey, by the
German boxer, Franz Steppath. The

Herr Steppath added the request
that he be notified in case Demp.

1t seems likely, Of course, that
Herr Steppath will be disappointed,
yet such match might lave this
one advantage for Mr.. Dempsey
after winning he could face his cne-

quished one German. The contest
might attract quite a crowd II it

Golfers of East
And West to Vie
At Title Tourney
Captains Named to Select
Players for Two Teams
Meet on St. Louis
Links.

New York, Aug. l3.-Extra in
terest will be lent to the national
amateur golf championship tourna-
ment at the ST. Louis Country club
next month through the addition OF
an East against West preliminary
match. Arrangements have been
made for teams representing the
Metropolitan Golf association and
Chicago District Golf association to
meet over links of the St. Louis
Country club Friday, September l6,
the day prior to the opening of the
championship.
Matters have progressed to the
stage where opposing captains have
been appointed. Oswald Kirkby,
former metropolitan champion, will
head the forces from this locality,
while Robert Gardner, twice national
title-holder, will act as captain of the
Chicago lineup. So far as this end
of the affair is concerned, Kirkby
said that the metropolitan team
would not be selected until after the
players had arrived in St. Louis.
That will end in a wiser selection,
as some of those preparing for the
main event may be in much better
form than others. There will be
seven players on side and the
match will consist of single round
of eighteen holes.
The absence of Francis Ouimet
from big tournaments this year is
due to poor health. Ouimet made
the trip across the Atlantic early in
the spring with the American team
for the British championship. Re-
turning home he competed in the
Massachusetts tournament, only to
be defeated BY Fred Wright.

WOODS and WATERS
/buz) LARRY ST. JOHN

A practical smoke house can be
rugged up with the use of a barrel or
packing case. 1t should have some
sort of chimney or gress for smoke
at the top and a small door at the
bottom for putting in fuel and pro-
viding a draft. And dry wood may
be used for fuel except fat pine,
which gives a resinous flavor. Dry
driftwood is about the best find a
fisherman can get, corn cobs are
good; green wood or damp wood
should not be used.
Small fishes, such as trout, bass,
herring, mooneyes, and the pan fish
es, should be opened and cleaned, but
not scaled. Then they should be
put in brine, made with one pound
of salt to every gallon of water, and
left overnight. The next morning
they should be taken from the
brine, washed thoroughly in fresh
water, hung up to drain we'll, and
smoked from three to four hours.
If the weather is damp and the fish
not thoroughly dried in the air be-
fore being smoked, they should be
dried in the smoke house by allow
ing little fame at first.
Large catfish should be skinned,
picked in strong brine, and smoked
seven or eight hours. Eels also
should be skinned and require about
FIVE hours of smoking Dogfsh
should be opened and eviscerated.
the backbone removed and then
packed in dry salt to form its own
brine. They should stay in this brine
II hours and should be soaked. in
fresh water an hour before being
smoked.
Carp are smoked in the same way,
except that the fish is "heeced" by
removing the scales and the under
lying skin with a very sharp knife,
working from the tail towards the
head.
The whole trick in smoking fish
lies in the manipulation of the draft.
1t requires little practice, but once
"the hang Of the thing is acquired,
smoking is not much more bother
than packing in ice. Try smoking
carp, doghsh, garpike and other va
rieties supposed to be mot good to
eat" sometime. The results will
surprise you.

When good luck is on the side OF
the vacationist and there is a surplus
of fish, he often is confronted with
the problem of shipping some to the
folks back home. At some resorts
where they have knocked down
boxes and plenty of ice in the ice
house, it is simple matter, but the
angler in camp, miles from an ice
house and the railroad, has differ
ent problem.
If ice is to be had, by all means
pack your fish in it. There IS a ira
dition entirely without foundation,
we believe, that fish lose in flavor
if they come in direct contact with
the ice. Commercial fish men, who
know their business, pack fish that
way with good results, but they use
enough ice to prevent it from melt
ing before the fish reach their des-
tination. If the ice supply is limit
ed, the fish may be wrapped in wet
grass or wet paper and surrounded
with the ice.
If the fish are shipped without ice,
they should be opened and cleaned,
but not washed, the gills removed,
each fish wiped perfectly dry and
wrapped in numerous thicknesses OF
thick paper, or paper and hay; grass
should not be used because il
heats" Fish that are shipped wet
should never be allowed to dry until
ready for use, and fish that are
shipped dry should be kept free from
moisture.
Fish shipped in ice and frozen
should be thawed in ice water be.
fore being cooked. incidentally, we
have observed that fish are washed
too much before being cooked. Wal.
ton and the other old fishing writ
ers, who were experts at cooking
fish as we'll as at catching them,
took great pains to warn the reader
about too much washing, and they
always direct the cook to wipe the
fish with a cloth before cooking
them.
The angler camped in an out-of-the
way place should smoke his surplus
catch in warm weather. Smoking fish
is not at all complicated, nor does
lit require a great deal Of apparatus.
