Woodward's Annual Tourna- ment Was Great Success,
 Officials Say

Rick" Woodward. boss of the Bir- mingham baseball club, Is today the 1922 golf champion of the Woodward club as a result of his well earned victory over J. R. Boggs in the finals of the annual tournament at Wood- ward yesterday.
 Woodward defeated Boggs on the eighteenth green yesterday afternoon when he took the hole and finished up on his opponent. When Rick" sank the putt that won the match, he ended one of the most bitterly fought battles of the tournament;
 Match Very Close
 So close was the struggle that at no time was either finalist more than up on his opponent. Their medal scores were the same, which shows how close the match play was.
 A big gallery followed Woodward and Boggs around the course yester- cay afternoon, and it is not surpTis- ing that such interest was manifested in this match when it is taken into consideration that both golfers have been playing a superb game all dur
 
 ing the tournament.
 Both Woodward and Boggs made the first nine in fl and the second in 45, totaling 46 for the 1S-hole match.
 J. c. Barrett Wins
 J. C. Barrett won the finals of the second flight yesterday afternoon when he defeated George Murrah, and 3. This match was also faifly close and hotly contested, but Bar rett was apparently master of the situation at all times.
 Cancellations
 In the championship flight conso- lations, w. w. Ellis won hard fought victory from J. H. Leonard, winning on the eighteenth green, up.
 The second flight cancellations were won by T. L. Barrett, who de- feated pr. Dwight Chiles in the finals yesterday afternoon, and D.
 The tourney had been in progress at Woodward since last Tuesday morning, when qualifying matches began. J. R. Boggs, finalist in the championship flight, was low medal ist last Tuesday.
 The Woodward meet ran of smoothly in every way, and club of ficials consider 1t one of the most successful ever staged over that course. Rollo Steinmehl, Woodward pro, handled the affair nicely, and players and officials compliments him on the success of the tourna- ment.

Helen Wills Giues the InUincibIe MolIa q
 Hard Battle

Forest Hill, N. Y, August 19.-Miss Helen Wills of San Francisco today failed in the quest of the woman tennis championship today. She did become doubles champion, but that was due more to Mrs. Marian r. Jessup, Wilmington. Del, than to herself. Aside from the glare of the personalities in the singles, the doubles match was the most inter esting of the two. It went to three sets and was won by the Wills Jessup pair from Mrs. Mallory and Miss Edith Sgourney of Boston. 6-4, TO, 6-3.
 Miss Wills had fought her way through long line of outer sentinels and today was. standing at the door way challenger of the woman who for five years wielded the racquet that symboltzed the scepire of the queen of American tennis. With the cheers of 5000 enthusiasts urging on, she met Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory on her own terms, the "Tigress" of the courts in her own lair.
 Spirited but cool, the youthful challenger held the battle even, while it ebbed and flowed in the early stages of the first set. Miss Wills was confident at the start, her stroll- ing was as graceful and as we'll timed as when she was overcoming one of the outer guards, but when Mrs. Mallory realized the full danger of the menace, the youthful attack failed, Miss Wills wilted in the fury of battle and the champion, gaining strength as Miss Wills expended hers. came on to victory. The score was 6-3, 6-1.
 At the end she was not a forlorn, beaten figure. Her face wore the same childish, imperturable express sion as at the beginning. She ac- cepted the runner-up's cup as proud- ly as the smiling Molla took that of the champion.

Paris, August l9.-With the ser vices of one of its members and with its captain. Miss Flora Batson of New Orleans, still suffering from weak ankle. the American team neSerthe- less tonight is ready for the opening tomorrow of the first international track meet for women. The meet. with ST women athletes representing the United States. England. France. Switzerland and Czecho- -Slovakia, will be held In Pershing stadium.
 All agree that the competition will be close and lays between France, England and the United States. The Czecho-Slovakian team may produce some surprises. Switzerland has en- tered in the 1000 metres race, the tavelin throw and the shot put and has disregarded the other events.
 Miss J,ona Ratf,bone of Panama. who wrenched her ankle Thursday will be unable to compete. Captain Batson sprained her ankle 10 days ago at the Colombes stadium. She may be unable to compete in the hurdles, but 1t Is certain she will start in the snrints and the relay. She is the best hurler performer on the American team. and would likely have given Mademoiselle Therese Laloz tho French record-holder. great contest.
 Team In Condition
 The rest of the American team is in the pink of condition. pr. Harry Eaton Stewart, the coach, brought them around gradually to top form. The English team appears to be trained down to a very fine point. The French and Czecho- -Slovakians have trained well. and seemed to have more reserve strength left than have their Anglo Saxon colleagues.
 The track at Pershing stadium is somewhat slow, but some of the rec ords are sure. to be beaten. The Americans have made faster time on the Colombes track than on the one at Pershing stadium. Miss Cornelia Sa- bic of Newark, N. J.. paced by Homer Baker, coach of the Panama team, did the 1o0-yard hurdles in 15 1-l5 seconds at the Colombes stadium. Miss Maybelle Gallaland of Leonia. N. J.. did the 100-yard dash in 12 sec onds flat regularly Miss Lucille God bold of Estill. s. C.. Is looked upon as likely winner of the shot put.
 Meet Every Two Years
 It was decided to hold the women's olympics every two years. The girl competitors will be brought to Paris pate in the women's olympics or not. Great courtesy has been shown the American team both by press and public, as well as by the visiting teams. There is q .fraternizing spirit

AUSTRALIANS TO' BE AMERICAS FOE IN CUP NET MEET

Philadelphia, August 19.--Austra- America's opponent in the challenge round for the international court trophy at Forest Hills, N. r.. Septem- Der 1, 2, 3. The down under" rac- quet wielders earned a place in the final bracket by defeating the Span ish combination on the courts of the Germantown Racket club here this afternoon in the two final matches of the three-day place. It was Pat OHara Wood who actually clinched the victory by defeating Count Man. uel de Gomar In grueling five set match by scores of 6-S, 3-s, GO, 6-4, 6-1.
 Gerald Patterson then made assur- the ace of the Spanlards by scores of S-6, 6-2, 6-2.
 Btg Match Next Month.
 Early next month the Australian combination. consisting of Patter- son. O'Hara Wood. J. 0. Anderson and R. C. Wortheim, will face the United States quartet, and thus end cup quest that has carried them half way around the world in the past five months. To regain the famous trophy they must defeat cup defend CTS selected from N. T. lIlden IL, William M. Johnson, Vincent Rich ards and k. Norris Williams II.
 Count de Gomar, playing excep- tional tennis, swept through the first two sets of his match with OHara Wood in impressive fashion. but the fighting spirit of the Aussie was just beginning to flame. O'IIara Wood fought out every rally to the bitter end, and in the third set the tiring Castillian deliberately let the play slide, apparently depending on the fifteen minute intermission to restore his strength enough to enable him to win one of the two remaining sets.
 Wood, however, returned to the court fully as revived by his rest as de Gomar and proceeded to play far more brilliant and steadier tennis than the Spaniard. He outplaced and outmaneuyered de Gomar with a va r1ety of pace and stroking that grad . ually wore down the Spaniardis re- sistance until the fourth set was won and the fifth became n rout. De Gomar was too tired to go after many returns which he could have easily reached in the early stages of the match
 Much of the importance passed from the Patterson Alonzo match with Woods victory. but some of the most brilliant tennis of the three day play developed In the final clash of the match. Patterson, who had | been inclined to take things easy whenever possible, was stung into ac- | ton by the determined resistance, footwork, clever racquet work of his steady and flashy opponent. He had trouble In pulling out the first set at 8-6, but once warmed, he showed | flashes of his best form, and the outcome was no longer in doubt.

the years that the Cleveland In- diaans have a bad season as whole, has done remarkably well with his come back this year. The Alabama boy has 3 triumphs 10 his credit and only eight loss es. old shovel Hodge. who used to chunk 'em in the T. C. l. league here, and who went up from the Nashville club and was looked upon by Chicago sport critics as a frost this spring has managed to cop off seven bat ties with only five losses this year
 Carl Mays has been the bitter disappointment to Yankee own CTS. He was one of the best pitchers in the American league last year and his deadly sub marine ball was feared by all batsmen. This season he hasn't been able to break as good as even. His temperament probably had lot to do with it, but to date Submarine Carl has won only 10 games, while 13 losses are cheacked against his record.
 In the senior Major
 Stepping over into the Ma tional league we find Reb Rus sell. the converted pitcher. who late in life took up the outfield creed, leading the parent organ ization in hitting since he stepped out of the American association and joined the Pittsburg Pirates. Reb is on top with a 392 aver age for 22 games and in that small number of battles he has crowned the old agate for an even half dozen homers. Reb would surely be giving some of the topnotchers q battle for cir cult clout honors if he had been up there all year. Roser Horns by continues to top the regulars who have been in a majority of the games, however, with .37S.
 One of the sad features of baseball strikes one when one re- views the pitching averages of the National league. We find our old friend Phil Douglas. who has been kicked out of baseball, leading the league with a dozen victories and but four losses. Pity that Shuffling Phil should have allowed his habits to get the better of him this season. If he had attended strictly to bus mess, regardless of his hatred for McGraw, which we feel was partly justified, he could have hung up one of the best pitching marks a hurler ever made In the National league.
 In the Dixie Major
 There has been little of note in the Southern league the past week. Schulte is still at the top of the batters with 356 aver age. and two of Kid Elberfeld's men. Schleibner and Lapan, are pressing him with .342 and .335 respectively. Johnny Neun con- tnues to lead Baronial bat smiths with the bat, boasting a mark of 331.
 Martina is out front of the pitchers with IS wins and 3 re- verses, while Dixie Walker con- tinues to prove demon in Class A baseball. He has won five and lost but one since re- joining the Pelicans. Yet, on the big time. he can never quite make the grade.

Kennel Club Makes
 Plans For Another
 Show During Winter


 Birmingham is to have another bench show this winter. The local kennel club is laying plans for an- other dog show, and with interest never abating since the last show, but rather mounting higher all the while. it is expected that all records for a heavy entry will be smashed.
 There has been quite an influx of fine dogs to Birmingham since the last show, and there will no doubt be a marked improvement in the local entry, notwithstanding the fact that several Birmingham exhibits were returned the winner at the last show.
 The club will meet at it's regular headquarters, the Birmingham Arms & Cycle company, Monday night at 730 o'clock to set the date for the big show, and full quota of mem bers will probably be on hand, as much interest Is being manifested in the approaching show.

Acipco Cops Twin Bill

Acipco twice defeated the strong Lewisburg nine yesterday. copping the first game by the score of 12 to 9. and the second. 10 to ?. Both games were full of hitting, bobbling and loose playing. as the scores show.
 1Aewisburg used six pitchers in the first game in an attempt to stop the murdering of the ball by Acipco. Santmyer. Creel. Oldfield. Bryant. Bennett. Baker. Cooper and Lawrence were hitting stars in the first game.
 Tn the second game. Roberts. Lew isburg's star pitcher. had little suc- cess Hits were punched off him with passes and errors for 10 runs. Home runs by Roberts and Oldfield and two-bagger by May were features.

Tn the American League.
 The wise birds said that if Ty Cobb ever passed George sisler. that the veteran Peach would never relinquish the batting lead to the Brownie again. They pointed out that Cobb always went throughS August like whirlwind. But, they fell down in their predictions. Tyrus got the bulge, remained at the top of the column for a week or more and then was forced to how be- fore the terrific pace of the St. Louis boy. Now George has a seven point advantage, according to the averages released by IT, Win Howe, the veteran statisti- clan. Sisters mark is .40S and Cobbs .401.
 One of the real sensations Of the American league this season, has been the work of Goslin, for Washington. Goslin is a goslin in years, as well as in name. He looked like promising ball play CT the past spring, but in spring camp, he broke training rules, and for a time 1t looked like Griffith would be forced to shunt his rookie to the minors. He sought to discipline the kid, however, and later placed him in the regular line up. To re- deem himself Goslin is fourth amoung American league swat smiths. now boasting an average of .s4S.
 Chick Galloway at short for the Philadelphia Athletics and Jimmy Dykes al second for the same club are two more men who have shown reversals of form this year. Galloway's change has been for the better. Dykes right the other way. Last year Jimmy Dykes looked like one of the best second basemen in the loop, hitting we'll over 300. Galloway had never hit his stride since he went up from Atlanta. This year Galloway has the neat average of 1928 and Dykes has slumped to a mean .270.
 In team batting in the Ameri- can league Detroit is ahead with .S1l and the St. Louis Browns are second with 1903.
 
 With the Chunking Brethren.
 In the chunlSing department of the game, Bullet Joe Bush is having his greatest year. The boy with the fast one that rivals Walter Johnson has certainly done his share towards putting. the Yankees in the place they covet. He was bought from Bos- ton to do that very little thing, but the wise ones figured that Sam Jones, who went over to New York in the sam deal. would prove the better of the two. Bush isn't doing thing but lead ing the American league in pitching with 19 wins and but four losses for the entire sea- son.
 Pillette. the Detroit sensation, who went from the Pacific Coast league as a bit of lagniappe in the deal which sent Johnson to the Tigers is second among the American league pitchers with IS victories and only six losses.

Daue Euans Plans Annual Camp For
 Boys Club Gang
By MAXWELL ALLEN


 The Boys club will have its an- nual camp as usual this year. on the Cahaba river and Dave Evans is ex- pecting to have more boys on this camp than ever before The camp will begin next Saturday and will ex- tend through September 2. This camp is one of the few camps in the south held exclusively for under -privileg ged boys. and Is also one of the best of it's kind.
 The first thing that Dave plans to do on camp is to get all of the boys together who are unable to swim and teach them how to navigate in the water as we'll as on land. This, in itself, will mean a whole lot to the boys who are fortunate enough to go on the camp, as there are many newsboys who are unable to get out in the woods. and have no chance whatever to learn to swim.
 Wrestling and Boxing
 Another thing that will be one of the features of the camp this year is a tournament in both boxing and wrestling. Dave has many boys in the club at present who already know quite bit about boxing, and, if given the chance, will be able to show some remarkably good stuff in the ring for boys of their age. Dur ing the week of the camp all of the boys are going to work out daily for the tournament, and those who have never had any boxing training are also. going to be able to get in and try their hands at the manly art of fisticuffing.
 The wrestling should be equally as good and as interesting as the box ing tournament. for Evans has a number of boys in the club who are clever wrestlers and able to put up nice match.
 One of the really useful things the boys will be taught is life-saving.
 The boys are all anxious to go to the camp as soon as possible, and when the gang sets out on Saturday there should be between 75 and 100 boys in the crowd.

 The advance sale for the event has eelipsed anything yet reached in France for an athletic meet. It has been decided to take the time and dis tance made by American girls. re- gardless of where they finish. This is done in response to request of Dr. Stewart. who expects that some American records will be broken, even if the American performers do not win the particular event.
