LACK OF UPTON CUP
 CAUSE INTEREST IN
 YACHTING TO DECLINE

In the absence of the perennial Lip ton challenge for the America Cup the yacht racing campaign lacked some of the popular appeal of other years. However, a substitute program of in- ternational racing was introduced in the competition between British and American six-meter yachts.
 Although scoring only two individ- ual victories in the series of six races conducted the American boats were adjudged winners of the compe- titon on the basis of points scored, Ill to 104.
 The annual fishermen's contest be- tween the Bluenose, Canadian entry, and the Henry Ford, of America, re- suited in a victory for the Bluenoes after series of races and argu- ments, each of which were equally warm.

LUCK HOUR BEST THREE
 YEAR OLD OF SEASON

The season of thoroughbred racing just concluded produced no domin- ating figure such as Man O War or Norwich. In fact the popular three year-old division had no real cham pion for the first time in many sea sons, although a dozen or more horses bobbed up from time to time as possible candidates. Out of an uncommonly inconsistent lot, Lucky Hour was possibly the best.
 Other leading three-yearolds were Kai-Sang, a staunch contender against Lucky Hour for whatever honors there were; Whiskaway, Pil lory, Hea, snob End, Bunting, Rock minister and Oceanic.
 Of the two-year-olds Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Salley's Alley earned the title of champion, particularly by his splendid racing during the late stages of the campaign.
 Norwich, unbeaten two-year-old o1 the 1921 season, began by winning the famous Kentucky Derby Of mile and a quarter at Churchill Downs, but suffered a startling form reversal thereafter and never wor another race. He is now retired after losing to Whiskaway at Aque duct and upon all subsequent starts
 Pillory won the Preakness by a head from Hea, but neither ran vel thereafter. Snob End was a great sprinter for a brief interval, but flOpped badly later.

U, 5. KEEPS DAVIS
 LAWN TENNIS CUP

American domination of the field in lawn tennis was even more forci- ply emphasized during 1922 than ever before when the Davis Cup was suc- cessfully defended against an or iginal entry list of fourteen nations and Australia disposed of in the challenge round, four matches to one
 William T. Tilden, of Philadelphia, and William M. Johnston, of San Francisco, scored in straight sets over Gerald L. Patterson and James o. Anderson, of Australia, in the singles, and only the doubles victory of Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood over Tilden and Vincent Richards prevented an American cleanup.
 A few weeks later Tilden and Johnston met in the final round of the national singles championship, sole survivors of field than includ- ed Patterson, Anderson and OHara Wood, of Australia; Zeno Shimizu, champion of the Orient; Manuel Alon- 20, champion of Spain, and his bro ther, Jose, among others. The only absentees of note were Gilbert and Cochet, of France, and neither was as strong as the two Australian leaders and Manuel Alonzo.
 Tilden earned the title by defeat ing Johnston in a great five-set match, but the question of individual supremacy remains in the air, since Johnston thrice defeated Tilden in previous matches and showed the better form in the Davis Cup chal- lenge round.
 American eminence, however, was confined solely to the male of the species. Mrs. Molla Mallory again demonstrated her superiority over her American field by disposing of Miss Helen Wills, the child from San Francisco, in the national cham pionship and other tournaments, but was beaten in straight sets by Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, the French prima donna of the courts, in straight sets at Wimbledon Mile. Suzanne thus | preserved her right and title to the worlds singles championship
 The East versus West matches, in which Johnston scored twice over Tilden, witnessed a division of spells, the West winning in the early sea son and the East later at Forest Hills.

ness, and the crowd lashed itself into a fury in putting on a demonstration in front of Judge Landis's box. As result the entire receipts were turned over to charity, and the multi tude was appeased.
 It is noteworthy that George Kelly delivered the hit on September 25 that gave the Giants a victory over the Cards and the National League pennant and that the same player came through with a single off Joe Bush on October 8, winning the worlds championship for his team
 Rommei Great Pitcher
 One of the most creditable per formances of recent years was that of Ed Rommel, who pitched 27 win ming games with 7th place Athletics.
 The winners of pennants in the "big little" leagues follow:
 Pacific Coast League, San Fran cisco; International League, Balti- more; American Association, St Paul; Southern Association, Mobile i; Eastern League, New Haven; Texas League, Fort Worth; Western League of Tulsa.
The Cordova daily times., 1923-01-03

Three figures stand out, pre-emi- nent in the returns from the season of 1922 baseball. They are John J. McGraw, who jockeyed the New York Giants to their second worlds title in successive years; Roger Hornsby, who led the National League in hit ting and all baseball in home runs, and George Sisler, who topped the American League in batting, base running and all around excellence.
 Hornsby was the first National Leaguer to hit 400 over full sea son since the salad days of the late Ed Delehanty. and his individual ef- forts kept the St. Louis Cardinals in the race until the dying weeks of the season. He also smote 42 home runs, breaking the league rec ord, and out-distancing George Her man Ruth, the noble Babe, who had a careworn year what with heavy suspensions and waist lines.
 Another St. Louis inspiration, from the American League side of the fence, was George Sisler, who topped the league in hitting with an aver age of .419 and in stolen bases with 51. St. Louis didn't win any pen nants. but it gained much prestige in the individual performances of Sisler and Hornsby.
 Cobb Gets Honors
 Further honors fell to the lot ot Tv Cobb, who not only led the Tigers out of the second division, but, ac- cording to unofficial averages, bat ter over 400 for the third time, equal ling the major league record. Of ficially Cobb hit .399, but Ban John son, in his large, spacious way, granting Cobb an extra hit on a ques- tionable drive made at the Polo Grounds in May. In so dolng, ne went miles over the head of the official scorer.
 George Herman, the notable Babe drew six weeks suspension at the outset for defying Judge Landls and the now defunct transforming rule When he got back in the game his slugging appeared only in spurts and after several suspensions TOT badgering umpires, he finished the campaign with 35 home runs, as against his record of 59.
 In the worlds series he was rather backfire, getting only two hits. New York Series

weight championship. An average attendance of 38,O00 viewed the world series, and only the seating capacity of the Polo Grounds pre- vented larger turnouts-
 Some Outstanding Achievements
 From an international standpoint the year perhaps lacked many of the outstanding accomplishments of it's predecessor, but it was not altogethe CT without it's big moments of this kind. There was, for instance, the victories of Tilden and Johnston in defending the Davis Cup against the tennis ex- perts of the world; the winning of the diamond skulls at Henley, Eng land, by Walter Hoover; the turn ing back of the foreign invaders at Brookline by Jess Sweetser in win ming the national amateur golf cham pionship, and the successful defense by the Meadowbrook "big four" of the international cup against the Argentine poloists.
 Those were the dominant figures of the athletic year, in addition to George Sisler, Rogers Hornsby and John McGraw in baseball and Gene Sarazen in golf Singularly enough, however, football, boxing and racing were minus their usual quota of praaf names

1912 Sees Sound Growth and Development of All Athletics
SKATING AND HOCKEY

Of the great fields that entered the various skating championships, Will jam Steinmetz and Art Staff were pre-. eminent, Steinmetz having a clear lead over the amateurs and Staff over the professionals.
 Steinmetz, however, was challenged by Roy McWhirter, who won the na- tional outdoor title only to lose in- ternational honors to his rival Joe Moore, of New York, won the inter- national indoor and the Canadian out door titles, but suffered a lapse of form late in the season.
 The Westminster team, of Boston, was general recognized as the best of the hockey outfits, but no champion among the colleges was definitely es- tablished

The Invisible Mason has laid an other block upon the towering edifice of Sports bygones, and the year A. D. 1922 in athletics has settled firmly in it's appointed place, mon- ument in itself to healthful, sound development It was a great year in athletics All athletic years are great. We do not seem to have any other kind nowadays.
 Progressively, the years mount one upon another, ever increasing in inn portance and significance, so much so, in fact, that a building inspector would be mortified. The super-struc- ture has outgrown the foundation.
 Grows More important Yearly
 His concern would not be justified, however Unlike other structures, the edifice of Sport is stronger for the fact that it grows in the weight of importance as it mounts upward.
 Athletics during 1922 were con- ducted on a sounder basis than ever before and enjoyed by constantly expanding army of devotees. A crowd of 50,000 was conventional ity At the Harvard-Yale football game 80,000 were in the stands, and easily that number witnessed the Leonard-Tendler bout for the light

Ever Hammer and Lew Tendler, the last named collaborating in the greatest lightweight attraction since Cans first met Nelson. At the end of twelve no-decision rounds Leonard was awarded the unofficial verdict by a great majority of the critics, although Tender had the champion in distress in the eighth round. A crowd of near ly SOOO0 witnessed the bout, the greatest turnout since the memorable affair between Dempsey and Carpen tier.

BASKET BALL

The ever-increasing popularity of basketball was again in evidence dur ing the 1921-22 season. Competition was keener and crowds larger than ever before. Among the colleges Princeton came into it's first intercol- legiate title by beating Pennsylvania in a play-off for the championship, the teams having finished the league season in a dead heat. Illinois was generally recognized as the leader of the Western colleges.
 Among the professionals the Origi, nal Celtics seemed to have the edge at least as far as the East was con- cerned National amateur honors went to the Lowe and Campbell five of Kansas City.

FOUR BOXING CROWNS
 ARE LOST IN 1922

Four champions were separated from their titles during rather tenn pestuous year in boxing, Johnny Buff being a victim of two major opera tions. The reigning sensation, how ever, was the stunning knockout of Georges Carpenter by Battling Siki, weight championship. The so-called "orchid man. was 10-to1 shot be- fore the bout, but Siki led all the way after the second round and scored a clean knockout in the sixth.
 Charges and counter-charges were aired after the affair, each accusing the other of foul tactics. Only short time ago the Senegalese, suspended and deprived of his title by the French authorities for unbecoming conduct, gave out a statement to the effect that the bout was framed. The ques- tion of return fight is being con- sidered.
 This was only one of many bouts in which form turned handsprings. A case in point was the Mickey-Jack Britton fight, in which the welter. weight title changed hands. Britton was an odds-on favorite until short time before the men entered the ring when the betting shifted suddenly to Walker.
 Walker Wins Easily
 Because of this the New York State Athletic Commission called off all bets, an unprecedented action so far as modern pugilism is concerned Walker easily earned the decision buffeting Britton all over the ring during the last nine rounds,
 At the start of the year Buff was the proud owner of the worlds ban tamweight and the American fly weight titles, and at the end he owns neither. Joe Lynch deprived him ot the bantamweight belt by scoring a knockout in the thirteenth round and a little brown man from the rice naddies of the Philippines subsequent lv came along to flatten Buff for the long count in the tenth round, thus acquiring the flyweight title. The ht tle brown man was Rancho Villa, un known and unsung twelve months before.
 Tunney Succumbs
 Another dethroned champion was Gene Tunney. In an unguarded mo ment Gene allowed himself to be m veigled into match with Harry Grep with the American light heavyweight title at stake, and Greb Hailed his way to an easy victory at the eno of fifteen rounds. At the end Tunney S face had been reduced to human ham burger.
 lack Dempsey signed an agreement to meet Harry Wills for the heaVy uaieht title, at the insistence Of the Naw York State Athletic Commls sion. but nothing has come Of 1t. The commission had set precedent III this respect by suspending Johnny K;,bane and Johnny Wilson for failure to accept challenges for their respec tive featherweight and middleweigh' titles Both championships were de clared vacated, but this decision was not accepted in other states.

THREE AMERICAN CHAMPS

Jay Gounld, perennial champion at court tennis, again prevailed over the field, defending his worlds title against all corners. At squash rac- duets Jack Soutar, of Philadelphia, was once more returned worlds champion, while Stanley Pearson, of the same city, holding national anna teur honors. Walter Kinsella, of New York, successfully defended his title of professional racquets cham pion of America without much diff culty, but failed in his attempt to annex the worlds title at the Queens Club, London.

The great Chai-Hung backed to-

so. :,
II do not anticipate that you will
haze to undergo the painful pro
cess of amputation very often, Mrs.

Almost beside herself, she caught
the black-wood stool from the floor
and swung it aloft, but before she
could send it crashing into the leer-
ing face that Knocked at her, she
saw the form of a second China
man wriggle noisely through the
aperture. The newcomer had a
livid scar running the length of one
cheek. He wore a blue Jacket with
voluminous, tattered sleeves and, as
the girl stood petrifed, her eyes
wideopen as saucers, she could
have sworn that the stranger wink
ed at her.

Hung was saying. II am going to

And then an arm like a steel wire
encircled his neck and he fell to the
floor with a thud.

INTERFERENCE GOING

An end to interference from one
serious source is promised with
the advice from Washington that
a system of silent wireless
t%elegraphy has been planned for the
government code stations.
BY this system, code signals would
be sent on wave frequencies below
that of sounds audible to the human
ear. Thus, a radio fan would no
longer be bothered by the constant
ticking and buzzing during the re-
ception of a broadcast concert.
