Prove Superiority Over
English; ;LudyLangerRe-
tires From Competition

The recent visit to England OF
team of Swedish swimmers furnished
convincing evidence that the Morse
men will have to be reckoned with in
water polo at the next Olympiad. Not
withstanding British mastery of the
game the visitors concluded the tour
without suffering single defeat.
The Northumberland were the only
seven to escape drubbing at their
hands. The match resulted in tie at
to 3. In the other nine games played
the visitors scored clean-cut victories.
The tale cf the trip is best told by
aggregate results, which show total
Of SO goals to the credit of the Swedes,
as against 21 goals earned by their
British rivals. Considering that Great
Britain won the international cham
pionship at Antwerp last year these fig
ures speak for themselves.
The decision of Ludy LANCER, noted
swimmer Of the Hui Nalu Of Honolulu,
to retire from competition is source
for keen regret. He achieved his
greatest performance in San Francisco
few days ago, when he covered 500
lowering Norman Ross's worlds record
by the big margin of 2-5 seconds.
In the natural course of events he
could be expected to improve for some
time to come 1t seems pity that so
able champion and SO fine sports
man should drop out Of activity.
The women's 2oO-yard breast-stroke
championship of Great Britain at Beck
enham recently brought one of the
great surprises of the season. Miss
Lncy Morton, of Blackpool, title holder
and universal favorite, could do no
better than secure third place. An un-
considered candidate, Miss G. Carson,
of Leicester, won the classic in 8 min
utes IL 3-5 seconds, with Miss D. Hart,
of London, close second.
The first of the metropolitan indoor
water carnivals of the season will be
held by the Brooklyn Central Y. NJ. c..
A. on November II, and the district
championship at 150 yards back-stroke
swimming for juniors will be the fea-
ture.

A. A. U. take steps to standardize

OF instruction that an up-to date s-s-

II am entirely out of sympathy with
the prevalent policy of teaching the
breast stroke first, for I know results
are far from satisfactory. And | feel
the part of the A. A. U. will be far
reaching and serve to further the best
interests of swimming.
The work appears to me we'll within
the province of the governing body,
particularly since better elementary
schooling must result in the develop

more suitable for winter sports for
several reasons.
The action of tlfe players who COM
peted in these matches cannot be too
highly commended. The regular sea-
son is a grueling test in itself, closing
as it does with the national champion
ship, and the players are more than
when the last tournament has been
finished.
Yet upon Tilden's suggestion, after
Miss Morgan had declared her desire
to raise funds for devastated France,
in view of Mile. Suzanne Lenglen's
failure to go through her schedule of
matches, all these players volunteered
their services eagerly, as did Miss
Gurney, Miss Morgan's private secre-
tary, who devoted practically all her
time to furthering the success of the
tour.
Looking back on the year OF play,
one fact that stands out prominently
is the great showing made by the
younger stars of the courts. Frank T..
junior age limit, won the national in
door title in singles. Vincent Rich
ards, of Fordham University and Yon-
kers, retained his national junior title,
his third successive victory in that
event, and also won the national senior
outdoors doubles title. paired with Til
den, besides capturing the Western
and the metropolitan, among others.
The rise of the junior element was
notable all along the line, and with
the passing Of another season it is
more than probable that several will be
found in the ranks of the First ten"
According to rumors among players
and officials of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association. there is chance
that the mems national indoor cham
plonshlp tournament may be played on
the Longwood covered courts, at Chest
nut Hill, Mass, next year.
Poor Light in Local Armory
Ever since it's inception this fixture
has been decided in the Tth Regiment
Armory in this city, as was the WON
ems tourney, until this year, when it
went to Longwood. There are excel
lent reasons why both events should
be given to the Boston club, which is
one of the oldest and most famous in
the country. The most urgent of these
is owing to the wretched light condi-
tions in the 7th Armory, as contrasted
with the splendid light at Longwood
1t is true that there are only two
courts at Chestnut Hill, but the great
success of the women'a national indoor
tourney there last year, when Mrs
George w. Wightman ran off singles,
doubles and mixed doubles. with large
entry lists in each division, proved
that the tournament can be run off
within the week.
The quality of the entry would un-
doubtedly be of higher average than
that which has been seen at the 7th
Armory for the last two years, and the
shift also would help spread interest
| in the indoor game.

Graw, who has a winter home in Cuba,
will HE away there when the racing
season begins, to bury himself from
New iork's myriad baseball managers

The leader of tho Giants declared
on the eve of his departure for Mary

the worlds champions the way they
shaped up in the recent worlds series
and that he would not worry one iota
about strengthening the aggregation.

to the Giants"
1t is known that the New York Ma
'ionals offered for Groh last summer a
greater sum than the Yankees maid
for Babe Ruth. That the little Napo-
leon no longer places such store on
Heinie's services is a tribute to the
generalship of the only major league
manager who has landed seven cham

Beckett May Flop Hero

Realizing that the great American
public is famed for it's abiding sense of
humor. Tex Rickard is preparing to
stage the most subtle, delicious bit of
fun seen in this country since
"Boshter' Bill Squires of unhappy
memory did his now historic flop in his
first and last battle in the land of the
brave.
Tex has been negotiating via cable
with Joe Beckett. of England, with a

Bill Brennan, of Chicago, in fifteen

about the first of netx year. Joe has
languages, including the Scandinavian.
In fact, every time heavy. a light

he went to England and fiattened Jo-

Beckett does his trick flop and whether
he is as astute tumbler as Tumble

can be persuaded to make the trip he'll
probably confne his training on the
way over to practicing his fiops, but he
need not be cautioned not to overtrain,
as he's always in condition for this
stunt.
