 Jean Rebeyrol of Paris won the in as many years in the mems class. who visited the United States a year tions aroused by her record in British waters, won the trans-Paris event in the women's class.
 There were 55 men and 15 women in the water. Thousands of people lined the banks of the river at the start and all cheered Tirabocchi, who cut the water first, being accorded that honor because of his feat in crossing the channel in 16 hours 80 minutes.
 Tirabocchi, originally thought to be an Argentinian, recently decided that there was honor enough in his feat to add lustre to Italy's banners also, and therefore went to Rome, where he was acclaimed as a great Italian athlete. He had not at latest reports, discovered any motive for becoming a Frenchman, but the crowd seemed to have hopes.
 1irabocchi did not compete in the Marathon. but merely displayed his form and figure.

PAIR OF S75,OOO STARS SAVE GAME FOR JOHN M'GRAW

NEW YORK, August 26.-The two players. for whom John McGraw paid an aggregate price of S15O,OOO-base- ball money-last year, earned part of their invoice price when they banged out homers in the last half of the ninth inning Of Sundays game be- tween the Giants and the Cubs al the Polo Grounds. Jimmy O'Connell the expensive center fielder, and Jack Bentley, the portside pitcher, deliv- cred the winning raps which brought the Giants along from the short end of a 8 to 1 score and sent them over the line, a winner in the last gasp, to 8. Thereby the Giants increased by half a stride their lead over the Sunday and the span between them and the champions is now 314 games. The Pirates beat the Dodgers in Brooklyn and advanced half a game on the Reds, being now but one full game behind them.
 These were the only games in the National league.
 In the American, the Yankees whose last week or so has been a very dismal progress through the west, were beaten by the Indians. The score was 4 to 3 and the winning occurred In the last half of the ninth when, like the Giants, the Indians scored three runs.

Greb And Wilson TaperingOffFor
 Fridays Battle

NEW YORK, August 26.-TVo comic fighters, ranked at the top of the doldrum middleweight class. probably will draw as much money through the gates of the Giants ball yard next Friday night as Stanley Ketchell, the gretest champion that ever ruled the division, was able to draw Tn any three of his famous bat ties. Harry Greb, known to the in- come tax collector as Henry Berg, the husky light heavy who formerly held the American championship among the cruiser weights, has train ed down close to the middleweight limit of 160 pounds to fight Johnny Wilson, the southpaw holder of the middle title who signs his personal letters 'Viovanni Panica." They are to go 15 rounds or fewer to 8 decision, and the probability is that the gate receipts will touch $150,0o0 The match Is regarded as h combination hail-and- farewell for Wilson, being his comeback after two years in validity in New York state, Greb IS expected to beat him on points, be- cause he Is so much swifter, and If the fight goes that way, Wilson will have compiled the most singular or all champions records.
 He fought just once in New York after taking the title from Mike O'Dowd in Boston. In that match he outpointed O'Dowd and retained the championship by the referees de- cisIon.
 The next large bout in which he engaged was the historic farce In the Rickard bowl on Boyle's 80 acres, Jerscey City, with Bryan Downey. It was one of the worst bouts ever seen in the east Wilson, after long wait, was paid $S7,5oO for his part In the burlesque but was almost din i'm mediately suspended and was rem stated only a few months ago.
 Ketchelrs greatest fight was the one in which he nailed Philadelphla Jack O'Brien with a knockout on the chin in the last five seconds Of the tenth and final round at the Pioneer sporting club, New York, small house. holding but few thou usan9 U dollars in customers. His 70 rounu draw with Joe Thomas at MarysVllle' Cal, hoisted Ketchel Into prominence hut heinz an unknown caparet waiter at the time, he got Aetle money for the scrap.

Dundee OUerweight As
 Wagner Battle Looms

PHILADELPHIA, August 26.- Weighing many pounds more than a featherweight champion should, Johnny Dundee will climb into the ring here Monday night to fight one of the toughest young men in the division, as mere preparation for his bout with Benny Leonard on Septem- Der in New York In which Leonard S lightweight championship will be at stake.
 Dundee, always ready to box on short notice before he won the feath- erweight title from Eugene Criqui, was as casual as ever in accepting the fight with Wagner The fact that his title and his chance at Leonard's title were being imperilled by a meeting with the hard hitting Philadelphian seemed to be unimportant to Dundee
 Johnny recently let his weight run up close to 150 pounds. He has worked down considerably, but is still believed to weigh more than Leonard himself.

Australians Are Coming To Fore As Matches Near

| NEW YORK, August 26.-The makeshift team from Australia which challenges the American defenders ot the Davis cup in the deciding round of the tournament of 1923. beginning next Friday, has now come to be recognized by the United States Lawn Tennis association as the most for midable combination that ever repre- sented Australia alone. Norman Brookes and Anthony Wilding, i'm mortals of sport, who defeated the United States in 1914, were greater than the present leading pair from down under land, James o. Anderson and J. B. Hawkes., but, as the U. $. l.. T. A. points out in 8 survey of the challenge round issued on Sunday, Brookes and Wilding were not repre- senting Australia alone, but Austral- asia. or Australia and New Zealand.
 The defection of Gerald Patterson, winner of the Wimbledon singles championship in 1922, and one of the strong men of the Australian Davis cup team which was defeated in last years challenge round, was regarded a few months ago as a fatal wallop to Australia's chances. Indeed, there was some talk in Australia of with
 
 year. Two strong, experienced play CTS were available in Anderson and Hawkes., but for the other two posi- tions the best available men were youngsters, Ivan McInnes and Rich ard Schlesinger. McInnes ranks sew enth in Australia and Schlesinger's s ranking seems to be in some doubt, last lists were made up. In the prin- cipal matches, however, the two younger players have not had to bear the attack, and it Is likely that An derson and Hawkes. again will do the fighting in the challenge round. be- ginning Friday.
 Australians Rank High.
 From the standpoint of physical power, tennis experience and court strategy, Anderson and Hawkes. rank with the leading Davis cup players of their day" says the tennis associa- tion's review of the prospects. "An- derson, the captain, has been a Davis cup player for five years. Hawkes. is hunting the cup for the third time. Anderson is holder of the Australian singles title. Hawkes., partnered by Gerald Patterson, won the doubles championship. defeating Anderson and Norman Peach.
 'Physically, the Australians com pare favorably with the United States defending quartet. consisting of William T. Tilden, William M Johnston. Vincent Richards and Rich- ard Williams. Anderson stands close to feet 3 inches and weighs 170 Hawkes. Is feet 10 and weighs 160 Anderson is 2S, the senior of the team. Hawkes. is four years younger NcInnes and Schlesinger are 21 ano | 22 years, respectively. Both are feet tall. Anderson and McInnes use
 IIow f1r a5 Schelsinger use bats q half ounce | lighter.
 Many keen authorities concede An derson at least one singles match and give the challengers better than ar even chance in the doubles. The slightest let-down on the part of the defenders may result in sensational upset"
 Anderson has won. altogether. 2i | championships.
 The American team. under the chaperonage of a trainer. Is practic. ing at Forest Hills.
