BABE RUTH DROPS TWO
BEFORE MAKING CATCH

NEW YORK. July 1S.-New York
ers had a chance to see Babe Ruth
catch a base ball without paying for
the sight yesterday. SO many thou
sands took advantage of this great
opportunity that police reserves were
called out.
1t had been advertised that Bob
Meusel would stand on top Of q the
ater in Times Square at nooQ and
throw a base ball to the Bambfno on
the street. When noon came 1t was
impossible to drive an automobile
through Times Square.
That's him; that's the Babe; Hi.

when a heavy-set man with checked
suit and audacious yellow silk shirt
came numbering with police escort to
the car tracks.
rHi," growled the home-run vir-
tuoso.
Then Meusel threw a base ball down.
The Babe missed 1T, but John Kelly.
a treater employe, retrieved it from
the milling crowd This was consid-
cred a record. Meusel threw 1t down
again to his Yankee teammate and
Babe muffed 1t. Kelly got 1t away
from the souvenir-hunters a second
time. The next trial was successful

SARAzEN VERY MODEST
OVER BIG GOLF VICTORY

NEW YORK, July 1s-Gene Sarazen.
winner of the open championship of
the United States Golf Associa ton at
the Skokie Country Club, Glencoe, H.,
last week, came to New York yester-
DAY on the way to visit his parents at
Mount Vernon to tell them personally
how he won the highest honors in
golf In the United States and to show
them the handsome silver cup EN-
blematic of the title. He brought the
cup along with him and proudly dis
played 1t to the many visitors who
called to see him at the Biltmore.
Sarazen is bearing his newly won
honors modestly, for though he has
just entered manhood, he has absorbed
much knowledge of men and affairs in
the last year in his new environment
at Pittsburgh and during his travels
through the south last winter.
Il did think that John Black was to
be the winner. for he played great
game. and while l was very happy to
win the championship myself, l felt a
little sorry that he couldn't win it, be-
cause he is older and j have many
more years to try for 1t. He is a great
golfer and fine gentleman and the
boys were all with him. 1t was a
mighty nice thing for Bobby Jones to
give up his claim on second place TO
Black. and he made a whole lot of
new friends for himself by his
thoughtfulness."
One thing that Sarazen is going to
do before he goes back to Pittsburgh
and that is to pay visit to Brook
lawn Country Club at Bridgeport.
Conn, to thank George Sparling,, the
veteran professional there. for the
start he gave Sarazen as young
ster.
George Sparkling and Al Cuici are
wholly responsible for my game. 1t
was Cuici, former Apawamis caddy
who assisted me when | greatly need
ed help few years ago, said SaraZen
yesterday, "and ii was Sparkling who
taught me the fundamentals of every
thing | know about golf"

j. S. DAVIS CUP TEAM
TO CONSIST OF FOUR

NEW YORK. July 1S.-Coincident
with the unexpected default Of the
British Isles Davis cup team, which
sends Spain into the. final round
against the winner of the semi final
between France and Australasia, the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion today announced that its plans
for the defense of the international
trophy OF the challenge were near
ing completion.
Is said the Davis cup committee has
decided upon three of the players
who will make up the team. They
are William T. Tilden, I'd. of Phlla-
delphia; William NJ. Johnston of San
Francisco and r. Norris Williams. I'd,
of Boston.
Johnston and Tilden, it was said,
will devote their play exclusively to
the singles, while the fourth member
of the team will be selected as
partner in the doubles to Williams,
who also will be held ready for emer-
cnoice is considered to rest between
Vincent Richards of, Yonkers, N. Y.
No. IN the ranking and national
Junior champion, and Watson NJ.
Washburn Of New York, who part
nered with Williams in the doubles
last year.
Cable advices have been lrecefved
from England that Miss Elizabeth
Ryan of California. who has been
playing in Europe for several years.
and Miss kathleen Mckane. the
young English star. will be unable
to come for the woman's national
tournament.
Due to ill health. it was also said
that Miss Mary X. Browne of Los
Angeles. former national title holder
and runner-up to Mrs. Bjurstedt NAL
lory last year. might be unable to

last round in so at Skokie.
Hit the Ball Naturally.
In these post championship games.
the golfers had little at stake. ard
sought only to hit the ball naturally
and for the delight of seeing the pei
let sail through the air. Each shot
was played for its own result, and
not with a view to what effect il
would have on the total score at the
end of 72 holes.
But whether that had bearing or
whether ii just happened that these
players hit their top speed few
days too late. experts could not agree.
That golfer. no matter how clever.
cannot always be on top of his game
has been shown great many times.
Hagen went TO England couple Of
years ago and could do little better
than an ordinary player. He was or
his game. was the only explanation
offered. This year he went over and
was winner from the start over the
best Great Britain could put forth.

IRISH GAMES PUT OFF

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
DUBLIN. Ireland. July 1S.-Almost
entirely as a consequence of the re-
fusal of the American athletes to face
the risks of competing in athletic
events in Ireland under present con-
ditions. the dali team Olympic games
were postponed until next year.
Optimism was strong in Dublin, and
the government was willing to in
dorse the decision to proceed with
the games until the American refusal
to participate struck the enterprise
knockout blow.
Dublin life is proceeding almost
normally. and there has been not the
slightest question of postponing the
great annual Balls Bridge horse show.
But nobody in Dublin knows much of
what is happening in the country ex-
cept what appears in the official COM
muniQues.
1t is known that in Cork and some
other Irish towns publicity is con-
trolled wholly by the irregulars. who
have entered newspaper offices and
post ofices and insisted not only on
the publication Of their own propa-
ganda, but also on exercising a strict
censorship.
