 Mime. Golding was a much better 1 loser than her illustrious countrywom- an, Nile. Suzanne Lenglen. She con- graduated Miss Wills and remarked that the American girl seemed quite as good player as Mile. Lenglen, who defaulted this and the Wimbledon tour naments on the ground of illness. Mile. Golding knew whereof she spoke for she has played and been defeated by | Mile. Lenglen several times in the last i few years.
 Miss Wills did not have to exert her. self to the limit to beat Mime. Golding, as she was able to take advantage of her opponents misplays to win neatly. In the final she has highly ornamental chance to win the Olympis champiop- the Wimbledon title. which she failed to capture in the recent tournament on the London courts.
 Nile. Vlasto, although she is a very capable player, is not ordinarily regard ed as the equal of Miss BcKane, whom Miss Wills expected to meet in the final. Further to brighten the chances of the American champion, there is the ob- vious fact that she is in much better physical condition now than she was when she met defeat in Albion. And her game has benefited also by the change to American balls and hard courts

SOUTHERN BELL
 MEETS LAKERS Sloss Team Meets Tough
 Going From Druggist .- ..- z. = .~ Squad

Southern Bells climbing young base ballers encounter a heavy sea in the person of East Lake this week, while Doster- Northington will make a des, perate effort to stop the ,scudding Sloss By-Products aggregationI These games Overshadow the remainder of this Sat urday's schedule z. If .Senn is on deck for the struggle, East Lake will give the Shaw outfit just about as much as it can handle. The slim southpaw not. only. has twisted great ball this year., but has always given the team some of his own con fidence, so that they. apparently look better with him on the mound than be- hind any of the other tossers. Dunbar is due for the TeIephoners. He is a hard man to beat at any stage of the race. I ~, .,
 ROebuck Dangerous
 The Druggists have fair, chance to halt the flying league headers. Roe buck was hammered his last time. out against the Slossmen, but he has since come out of his slump and threatens to prove real menace this time. Ira wick will likely be his opponent. Alabama Powers league leaders have it soft against Yellow Cab, as the Swacina crew seems to have gone to pieces. A double header is slated be- tween these teams. Acipco and Sayre- ton are due to put on an Old-fashioned hitting bee in their game, as both squads carry heavy long range artillery.
 Fairfield and Thomas, in the Vest ern division, and Avondale and East Birmingham in the Eastern, are two other constests well worth witnessing. Fairfield slipped last week, very prob ably from overconfidence as much as anything else. However, they are cer- tainly the outstanding team of their sec tion and will hardly stumble again. All games in the B division are be- tween first and second division teams and should not prove exciting. The schedule for Saturday,: ,

 Weismuller Steams Up
 Weismuller simply changed the en- zine room bell for more steam on the propellors when he decided to take the 400 meters championship. He trailed Arne Borg for 100 meters and then overhauled Bord as destroyer might overhaul tanker. At POO meters, weis- muller was in the lead. He cruised cas- fly in the next quarter and Arne Borg splashed by him at the 300 meters mar ker. Then Weismuller took the chal- lenge, dashed out with all the power in his arms and beat the Swede in dash for the title.

 Three Americans Lose
 Three of Americas prize amateur cauliflowers were blighted in the quar- ter-final bouts of the Olympic tourna. ment at the Velodrome D'Hiver Friday afternoon.
 Rothwell, the lightweight star, was shipped on points by Copello, who comes from the land of Luis Angelo Firpo. Mendez, another Argentine. whipped Mello, the American welter- weight. on points and Haggarty, the other American welter,- was out-scored by Dong, the Canadian negro.
 However, Boylstein, the American lightweight, won his match with Genon of Belgium, by the judges decision and four other Americans out-knuckled their foes.
 La Barbera and Fee, the flyweights. both won decisions. La Barbera beat Rennie of Canada and Fee won from Berestrom of Sweden. Salas, the ban tamweight, was awarded victory over Betrarca of. Italy on a foul. Tripo- Ii, also bantom, took some revenge on the Argentine by outpointing Ter tuzzo. And Fields, the welterweigbt. won from Abarca of Chile on points.

AMERICAN SWIMMERS \
 AND RING MEN WIN
United States Olympic Stars Sweep On To Vic tory In International Games


 PARIS, July 1S.-One world record and three Olympic marks were washed out by American swimmers in another day of victory at Les Tourelles pool Friday.
 The women's 400 meters relay team composed of the Misses Ederle, Weh- selau; Lackie and Donnelly, won the championship splash in 4 :58 40 which was an improvement on the best mark ever made by women before. The English girls were second in 5:17 and the Swedes third.
 Johnny Weismuller, the American star who has laundered out more old records than any other swimmer, won the 400 meters free style race in 6.:04 2-10 which was a new Olympic record. Arne Borg, the North Sea whale from Sweden, was second, just 1 1-10 seconds astern of Weismu1ler's churn- ing heels. Charlton the Australian was third. Both Borg and Charlton also came across the line ahead of the old Olympic record. Axe Borg, a brother of Arne was the fourth man. Kealoha of the American Flotilla cruised 100 me- ters on his back in :13 1-5, new Olym- pic time, winning the backstroke title over Wyatt, of Uniontown, Pa, who was second, and Bartha, the Hungarian who came third. Blitz, of Belgium, was fourth.

 After a long visit in the upper reg. ister of the American league. the Washington Senators, unaccustomed to the rarified atmosphere of that status, have been overtaken by the Tigers and dragged into a tie for second and third positions. This is the lowest the Sen ators have stood in the column for three weeks. It may mark the start of pf decline to nOrmalcy after a sensa- tional mid-season hike to the top of the league, a point they had never visited before.
 The Yankees kept the top nook from which they elected the Sena- tors some time ago after a pro. l0nged pursuit. They split . dOuble-header with the Indians at the Yankee Stadium, losing the first 9-2 and taking the second, 2 to 2. Sherry Smith, who was waived out of the old mems home, the Brooklyn club, several seasons on the ground of excessive age. was the pitcher who won the first game for the Indians.
 
 The tie between the Tigers and the Senators for second and third places came about through the Senators de- feat by the Browns in Washington, 2 to 6 and the Tigers coquest of the Red Sox in Boston, in II innings, to 8.
 The White SOx dropped one to the Athletics in Philadelphia, 4 to 8. This hauled the SOx down dan gerOusly close to the Browns who arc in fifth place but only a short distance behind the Chicago club. For the second successive day the Giants lost and. the Cubs won, in cidents which have whittled a sizeable chunk off the Giants leading margin However, the champions are still re- mote from danger. Pittsburg beat the Giants in Pittsburs, 9 to 2 and the Cubs nosed out the Phils in Chicago, 2 to 1 in the tenth inning.

"I came near missing that one," remarked, calmly. Didn't hit the cup as squarely as l intended. l must be more careful in the future"
 The expression on the pros face was worth crawling miles to see. He looked at me dazedly and rubbed his eyes. Then he pinched himself to see if he was awake.
 The pro played the hole out and took five. was one up!
 The next hole was short one about 300 yards-so I took a niblick. I was afraid of overshooting with a mashie. I skied the ball purposely into the clouds and lighted a cigarette while waiting for it to come down. This time it hit the cup squarely-and stay ed in
 After a time the pro recovered suf- ficiently to mutter, Two ones in sue cession! It has never happened be- fore in the whole history of golf !'
 ''Pshaw, that was nothing!" said. "A very poor shot, call it. intended for the ball to drop into the cup on the right side of the flag and it dropped in on the left. Just a slight hook"
 The pros nerves were completely wrecked. He took a seven on this hole.
 No. 3 was dog-leg hole, 500 yards in length. I took a midiron-just to show the pro it could be done-and drove directly for the green, straight over the corner of the trees. 'All dog-legs are table legs to me-" said. "All straight. A straight line is the shortest distance from tee to green, as Euclid used to say" The wild cries of the caddies told me that l had scored another ace!
 To make short story shorter, I would have gone around in IS and beaten the pro to a frazzle, but while shooting from the tenth tee l lost my balance and fell out of bed and woke myself up.

 "Yes, I want to give you some les. sons," I said. Lets play IS holes. I think can help you to improve your game.

KNOWLEDGE

The small boy of the household was not notably proficient in sacred lore, but when his sister asked him, Where was Solomons temple?' he indignantly resented the supposed impeachment of his stock of information, and replied:
 Don't you think I know anything?"
 She assured him that she did not doubt that he knew, but urged him to state for her benefit.
 Though not crediting her sincerity, he finally exclaimed, curtly:

HIVE successive times now the
 Barons have taken the toll of the Mobile Bears. The Bruins of Emil Huhn seem to be entirely helpless, be- fore the onslaught of Stewards men. The game Friday was the third success sive time, also, that Big Dan" Boone has been showed out onto the mound by Huhn and has been ;Fudely, .repulsed by the Baron batters. Big Dan,' was driven to showers in one of the first games of the Mobile series at Redwood park and came back later in the week to finish out a game for Wiltsey. He was again battered hard by the locals, who won the contest in the ninth in ming off him.
 
 Friday the game was no excep- tiOn to the rule and Boone was soon disposed of by the Stewards. Wiltsey went in to relieve him. Between the two the Barons col. leeted 16 hits and the game, 10 to 2. This victory by the Birming. ham squad came on the heels of an uprising by the Bears which had |. carried them along at 8 fast pace.
 
 However, the Stewards had to rally late in the game to win the contest for Sep Goode let the Bears overtake him in the fourth when they counted a half-dozen tallies and drove him to the showers. Lundgren went in and held the Bears for the remainder of the game and the Stewart batsmen came in and drove in enough scores to cop the contest. ;f-
