PHIL TELLS STORY
 OF HIS DOWNFALL

NBW YORK, Aug 29- Suddenly aged, broken in spirit and abed, the victim of a nervous breakdown, Phil Douglas, crctwhle star pitcher of the New York Giants, told the story of his lfaithlessness in sCbbing re cital
 In the course of what he insisted was the true tale with nothing with held, he disclosed the fact, hitherto carefully guarded from the public, that his lettor which ended in his permanent banishment from organ dzed baseball, was written to Leslie l Mann, now of the St. Louis Cardinals, but a firm friend of Douglas in ShaFffin' Phils old days with the Chicago Cubs.
 Had Won Eleven Games
 Douglas pitched his last game for IGhe Giants on July 30, when he was dc6clted by the Pittsburgh Pirates, 70, giving way for pinch hitter in the seventh inning It was but his fourth defeat of the year and he had won II games, but that night, ac- cording to his own story, he drowned his troubles. breal0il1g seven kinds of training rules.
 Willie he was sleeping off the ef- fects in the apartment of friend, he asserts, two detectives broke into the plare and attempted to drag him out. He resisted. Threatening to blackjack him. he says. the detec- lives dragged him, half dressed, into a taxicab in which were three other 4trong arm men. He was taken to q poGice station for the purpose of frightening him, he thinks, and then to a saTitarium on Central Park West where his clothing was taken from him and he was kept prisoner five days.
 They Gave Him the Bill
 When he returned to the Polo grounds he learned he had been fined $1OO and five days pay (about $lSS) and WIS presented with a bill ot S224.35 for his sanitarlum treatment and taMicab flare. Angry at Manager McGraw, that same day, he says, he wrote Mann. then in Boston with the Cardinals, the letter which Judge Landis made pubic in Chicago.
 That same right. after talkinf matters over with Mrs. Douglas, Phi says he 'elephoned Mann in Boston but could not reach him until tht following day, when he asked him tt destroy the letter But Mann already had shown the letter to his manager Branch Riclcey, known as "the Sun day school man of baseball" ant Rickey had convinced Mann the onlN course to follow was that of tnrnint over the letter to the New York clul management.

Dashing Oarswoman in Rowing Machine

Cummings applied herself religious ly for six hours each day. Im- mediately after arising and previ- ous to breakfast the oarswoman de- voted herself to the work for full hour. Between breakfast and lunch she negotiated two hours more of the work with another double hour at the oars before dinner. The sixth, and last hour. of the days cndeavors came shortly before bed- time.
 The rowing machine on the Steamship America has been great ly patroniZed in the past by pass engers seeking to Keep themselves fit during the trip, but never was the apparatus subjected to such continuous use as that given by Miss Cummings.
 Miss Cummings has been fond of rowing since she was little tot and it Is her ambition to earn for herself the girls rowing champion ship. She will spend the summer upon the Adirondack lakes and will participate in number of con- tests. Seen aboard the ship before going ashore Miss Cummings de clared that she was in perfect form.
 Rowing" declared the pretty girl, is the best exercise in the world and women who worry about growing stout or losing their hg- ures would do well to spend some time working oars"
 The girl, credited with rowing her way across the Atlantic. skipped into the gymnasium for . farewell pull at the oars and to have her photograph taken and then nimbly sped down the gang way to meet her relatives and frjeudA

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Thert has just arrived from Europe on the steamship America of the Uni ted States Lines pretty American girl who is credited with new Transatlantic record. The young woman Is heralded by her fellow voyagers as having practically rowed her way across the Atlantic.
 Miss Rita Cummings, whose home Is in Philadelphia, is the young woman to whom the latest sea honor belongs. She has ever been an ardent oarswoman and in preparation for her summers cam paign as the member of a girls camping colony on the Fulton Chain of Lakes in the Adirondacks Miss Cummings did her training on the steamship America.
 The young woman did not row a boat in the open sea. Rather she did so without danger of splash1ng her golden tresses or mourning danger from capsizing by rowing her hardest. in the gymnasium of the big United States liner For six hours each day during the nine days trip from Bremen to New York Miss Cummings worked at the oars with all the effort of varsity crewsman training for the big re- gatta.
 How many miles the girl rowed during the trip can only be roughly estimated. Passengers who watched the young woman at her training calculated that she rowed at the rate of four miles an hour and credit her with having accomp- lished about 220 miles during the trip.
 The gymnasium of the 6teamahip America. among its many dsvicei for exercising, is equipped with . rowing machine and to ts!s Afsl

 OLYMPIC GAMES

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29.-That Los Angeles hold the 1923 international track and field games as late in the year as possible, so that they may be converted into the 1924 Olympiad in case France tis unable to hold it was suggested by M. le Baron Pierre de CoGbertin, president of thA In bornational Olympic committee, in a letter to William May Garland, Los Angeles, member of the Olympic games committee.
 It is believed that in case condi- tions abroad-4financial or otherwise prevent the holding of the 1924 OHmpiad in Paris as scheduled, then it can logically be held in the new Los Angeles stadium by postponins the dedication event until 1924. The new Los Angeles stadium is half completed and will seat 65,0O0 per sons when finished.

FISHERMEN ARE NOW PREPARING
 FOR BIG RACES

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Aug. 29.- the honor of representing Yankee fishermen in the race for the Inter national Fishermans Trophy late in October The elimination races will be sailed October 12, 13 and IA off Eastern Point.
 The vessels which will fight it out for the responsibility of trying to regain the trophy won last year by the Halifax fisherman Bluenose are expected to be Mayflower, Eliza beth Howard, Yankee, Henry Ford and l.. A. Dunton.
 Puritan, the pride of Gloucester, on which many a deep-seal fisherman pinned his faith in the great race this fall, lies piled up on the treach- erous shore elf Sable Island. Along the waterfront the oad sea dogs say that the reason for Pua'itan's wreck last winter was that she developed a speed far greater. than those on board realized and fetched up on Sable Island lorg before she was supposed to De near W.
 Now Gloucester folk are turning to Henry Ford, which ran aground on Essex Beach when shes was being launched in April and was seriously damaged. She was in port recently with a large cargo of salt cod and showed no structural defect as result of her early qnishIp. But the fishenfolk wish that Henry Ford were little longer and openly admit that the other Gloucester entrant, Eliza beth Howard. is too heavy. From a Gloucester point of view the most profitable fisherman is one mea surfing between 90 and 105 feet at the waterbinc. For this reason they drowned upon Mayflower and BMenose, which measures III feet at the waterline.
 The principal criticism of May | flower, barred from the race last year, was that those who built and owner her were not interested in the fishing industry and that hor cost was almost $60,000-twice as much as the average cost of a Gloucester 1 fisherman. Her carrying capacity also is less than the average fish erman It is expected, however, that the International Committee will ap- prove Mayflowcr's entry. as she has made a number of fishing trips. Al though her profits have not been as l large as in the case of some of the other vessels, owing to her high first cost. she has been fairly profitable to her owners.
 The recent races of the New York Yacht Club off Marblchead attracted great interest among Gloucester fish ermen who attended in large num- bers to get pointers for their races l two months hence
 | While the decp-sea fishermen are unsurpassed in the art of getting the most out of their vessels under lower sails or in making runs in from the banks, they arc not quite so versatile as the amateurs in the game of hit ting the line a few seconds after the start
 In the races of the last two years they have had the benefit of the starting and light sail handling of number of Marblehead amateurs. This year the rules permit only actual fishermen on the after deck, although there Is provision for one observer.

ported next day to a wondering audience
of his chums-and appeared to "act
strangely" She lifted her arms upward,
as If she would embrace the stars, and her
lips tremblingly repeated words she seemed
to hear-words her boy companion heard
only as they drifted from her lips:
"A man-hurt-an tomobile-quick-if
they do not-hurry he will die-send q
message-to the hospital-quick.'
There we're other words-the uncanni-
ness of them and the situation in which he
found himself unnerved the boy. He
grasped Eugenie by her arm and shook
her-suddenly she collapsed. When she
revived her first words were, Did they
send to the hospital for the doctors?"
Then, her full consciousness returned,
she begged her companion to drive quickly
into town-to the beginning Of one of the
avenues where the street car line came to
an end. Drive fast" she cried, there has
been an accident-a man may be dying"
The boy, awed, drove fast, following the
girls directions. When they reached the
avenue Eugene had described they saw
two shattered automobiles at the intersec-
tion of a street. One driver had been care
less and had turned at too high a speed.
The other had crashed into him. There
still was little group Of neighborhood
people standing near, talking Of what they
had seen--of the man who had been man
gled and who had been taken to the hos
pital
Eugenie explained later that her collapse
in the automobile when the terrible sight
was thrown before the eyes of her mind

all. It was as II she had been at the very
scene of the accident, she said, and the
horror of It overcame her. She had simply
