THESENATOR WINS STALLION STAKES IN CIRCUIT RACES.
Big Spill Results When Jane R. StumbIeS On Curve
 In 2:06 Pace

CLEVELAND, Ohio, August a. (By Associated Press )-The Senator, owned by T. w. Taggart, French Lick, and driven by A. Mcdonald, won the champion stallion stake No. 14, for 3-year-old trotters, value S9,500, from one of the best fields of colts that ever started in this event The race was the feature of today's Grand Circuit program, which was marred by bad spill in the :06 pace in which five horses and their drivers went down.
 Fred Edman of Memphis, driving Jay Brook, was the most seriously injured. He sustained a broken col lar bone, fractured ribs and wrist, juries will not prove fatal. Vic Fleming. the Canadian reinsman, driving Jane R., suffered sprained right arm and torn fragments, while George Mckay of Milwaukee, driving Qlinla, was badly shaken up.
 The accident, which was one of the worst ever seen on a Grand Circuit track, according to horsemen, oc- cured as the horses rounded the turn into the stretch in the first heat. Jan R. stumbled and fell and Quinla fell over her, Mckay being thrown over the fence into the soft earth. Edman could not pull Jay Brook out in time and was thrown 10 the ground. The rest of the field went on but as Lillian S. and Peter Oliver tried to turn out of the wreckage their sulBies came together and Mar win Thornton driving Lillian s, and Vert Mallow,' driving Peter Oliver, went down but were able to drive in the following heats, having escaped injury.
 Thompson Dillon. the favorite in the championship stallion stake, won the first heat in one of the pettiest finishes ever seen here. After lead ing the entire distance he managed to hold out just long enough to win, Hollywood Leonard. winner of the Matron stake at Toledo last week, finding the brush to the wire too se- we're and went into break just oe- fore the wire was reached. The first four horses finished noses apart.
 In the second and third heats the Senator had no trouble in winning after Keeping away from the pace makers. money in the event and Holyrooo Leonard third. The time for the three miles .was very slow.

Many Titles Yet
 To Be COntended For This Season

NEW YORK, Aug, 22-The breath less summer sport season of 1923, in which the fallen forms of champions have dotted the wayside, still offers half a dozen or more big events of professional and amateur sport.
 Three boxing champions, will fight to decisions in the outdoor rings of New York, the Davis cup challenge round between the American detend- CTS and the Australian challengers now impends. the national mems singles title remains to be decided. the National A. A. U. track and field championships are to be run off on September i, the mems and women's amateur golf championship is yet to be played off
 Then also there are the world series and the great match race be- tween Papyrus, winner of the Eng fish Derby and the best three year old American horse, not yet identi- fled.
 All six scrappers who are to let fly three championship bouts are now in training, some hard at 1t, others in preliminary work.
 Johnny Wilson, middleweight champion, training in the open in to be in glorious health, and, al- though bum boxer. neverthless, in shape to make a great defense of his title against Harry Greb. For that matter, Greb, who was reported to be taking the match rather casually, has buckled down to work at Man. hasset, L. l., and Is slamming pun ishment into three sparring part ners selected for their durability. Greb claims to weigh only 159 pounds. The fight comes off August 31.
 Johnny Dundee, featherweight champion, who tries again for Benny Leonard's lightweight title on Sep tember 5, at the Yankee stadium, has grown tremendously fat in the few weeks since he beat Eugene Criqui. He weighs almost 150 pounds and will have just as hard a job making the lightweight limit of 135 pounds as Leonard himself, who weighs little more than 40 at pres- ent. Both have begun to train down.
 Dempsey is training at Saratoga and Luis Angelo Firpo Is about to start his exhibitions at Atlantic City.
 Present military strength of Italy Is 210,0o0, of Russia, 100000, and of Belgium, 118,969.

Last Year's Team To Again Defend Trophy


 NEW YORK. August 22.-The same team that won the Davis cup matches for the United States in 1922 will defend the trophy this year. The four men, R. Norris Williams, II, who has been named captain; William M. Johnston, William T. Tilden, II, and Vincent Richards, today were noti- fled tC start for New York, to get into active training.
 How the men will be lined up to play has not been announced. Til- den and Johnston are regarded as certainties for the singles. but who will be placed on the doubles team is problematical
 Richards was chosen because he was regarded as the logical man to fill In if either Johnson or Tilden were forced out of play by injury or Illness. Practice will begin at Forest Hills the first of next week.

THE MIDTRON
By "CHICK" EVANS


 When a golfer has determined the distance he can get out of club without pressing he should adhere to it. Devote each club to its own distance.
 play the midiron as I do the driver, and. the best that can do in the way of tips and explanation of the shot is to quote my diary. It is a record of mistakes made, faults corrected, and little discoveries made about my shots. I seem to have written great deal about my iron play.
 If you are hooking too much, watch the position of the ball off your left foot. Don't stand too open, because you hit down and fall away and around with it. You must hit that ball in the center of the club, and then your hands will tighten Up unconsciously on the stroke. Do not swing so rounded Swing more up rightly. You must roll those wrists, too, if you want success. Watch that chip of sod.
 Hit Down Into Bail.
 Hit down into the ball rather than up Don't turn that toe in. Remem- Der the take-off and the bent follow through. To get away from hook ing give more upright follow through. Right hand under a little bit-and hit. That low back stroke Is very successful. Try that. Watch out for that body ahead of the shot" Be sure to hit the ball, and for the love of Mike, don't fail on the bent follow through.
 Go back young man and do the low back and up swing, and the re- c1l1 n pl II " hi in lat laa hE clearly and your wrists will respond neatly.
 Take a chip of sod for it helps a great deal. The greatest thing Is to swing Independently with the arms and with the hands coming back first. It isn't very necessary to take turf when you have a good lie. The blade seems to meet the ball more at right angles when you take turf. l have notion that the ball offers very little resistance to the flying iron, and the meeting of the clubhead and turf just slows the head up enough to make the wrists work harder and more crisply against heavier resistance. The di- vot should be small. Be sure not to let the clubhead stop as in the case of a stab or a big diVot, but nicely clip a little piece of sod and go on to a perfect follow through. If nerv- ous it is a great help to take sod.
 Too tight a grip. l move my body too much. Let that clubhead swing low and back. and pass that blade through the ball and for heaven $ sake don't keep falling away from them. Keep hitting them into the line, and you get it. Let the arms swing back more fully outstretched. Can yoU' feel the "break?" | Don't turn the blade in so much. Don't hold onto them so long. Snap them off quickly. Don't bend your body over so much that you inter- fere with the stroke.
 Don't tell me that blade isn't use- full l was putting them up in great shape with that pass through shot. Sweep it off the ground as well as l you can.

Enrique Tirabocchi of the Argentine drew a white line of phosphorescent spray across the English channel from Calais U Dover then stepped aboard a tug and went right back to get his clothes. Or a racer kicks a mile be- hisl him in something less than five minutes and then spends 30 minutes on street car going his, next mile from the stadium to town.
 We see a red ant laboriously toting a tiny pebble home to serve as hitching block or cornerstone of his new homs and remark that the red ant is an awful sape. He does pro- disious physical feats for utilitarian reasons because he knows no other way to get them done.
