URGED To REST,
T|LDEN PUTS
ON STEAM
Big Bill Listens Patiently to
Advice and Then Does
Opposite :
BY HARRY BLOOMBARGH

PHILADELPHIA, aug. 26.-Wil-
liam Tilden, the national singles
champion, was told by his advisers
two months ago when he was de-
feated by Vincent Richards that he
needed a rest. Only a long rest
would restore him to shape for the
coming Davis Cup matches and ma
tional championships, it was re-
ported.
Tilden listened to all his ad.
visers, thought the matter over and
then decided that the best thing
for him would be strenuous cam
paign instead Of the rest. He went
from one State to another and
played in various championship
tournaments.
This was a surprise to his
friends, but "Bill" knew better, ac'
cording to Harry Cochrane, the
famous English swimmer, who is
in this city as an instructor at a
local pool. Cochrane is familiar
with Tilden's physical makeup and
he said he believes Tilden did the
best thing possible in failing to fol-
low his friends advice.
"Tilden's makeup Is peculiar"
Cochrane said. unlike other sports
champions, Tilden is largely bones
and flesh. Most tennis players, like
Gerald Anderson, OF Australia, can
keep in the best of condition by
playing only once in a while. I'll
den, however, is different.
"Tilden to be in the best OF
shape must keep going all the lime.
If he were to take a long rest and
remain inactive for several weeks
his muscles would tighten and he
would have a difficult time round
ing into shape again. BY playing
every day he keeps his muscles
flexible and thus Is in the best OK
shape" :.
How Tilden manages to keep
going at top speed for so long
time has been mystery. His sea-
son begins in April and continues
until October. His active stretcn
has brought him along in great
shape, Cochrane said, and 1t is be-
lieved that when the Davis cup
challenge round Is played at Ger
mantown Cricket Club, September
10. IL and 10. he will be at the
I'm Of his game.

SAVED CLAN rs
BY KEEPING
MEUSEL
McGraw Wanted to Trade
Player Who Now IS
Clubs Mainstay
BY DAVIS j. WALSH
International News Service Sports
-. EhitnR

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-It Is pass
ing odd what a difference 1e"
short months will make.
Back In February, John McGraW
was trying to trade Emil Meusei TO
the Chicago Cubs for catcher. TO,
7dav. he wouldn't exchange, Meusel
for half of the Chicago ball CLUB.
The Young man has kept the Giants
In the race with his hitting ana
black" Wilson. his intended sue
cessor, Is languishing in Toledo.
Another off-season proposition at
which the Cubs looked down the
nostrils was Pittsburgh's proffer
of CLYDE Barnhart. The CUBS could
have had him in that famous mld-
winter trade but voted Tor Maran-
Vile, Grimm and Cooper.
Barnhart was an lnflelder then.
He is free-hitting outfielder now.
For some months he led the Ma
tional League in hitting and though,
ultimately, he slumped with the
rest of the Pirates, he still is hit
ting well enough to hold his place
with a great offensive ball club.
The Pirates, in fact, wouldn't trade
him now for the three players they
sent to the Cubs.
AS for the latter, figure what
might have happened with Meusel
and Barnhart in their outtield.
They are just bad ball club, true
enough, but perhaps their worst
feature is that they are quite with
out a punch in their outfield.
And, if any club needs the kick
there, the Cubs are it. They are
playing II games this year on one
of the smallest fields in the major
leagues, yet they have lined up
team that can hardly hit them ba-
yond the pitcher, with few
notable exceptions. Some of their
outfielders, notably Heathcote, are
fast, and they don't exactly need
that kind, either.
A ball hawk won't do much fly
ing in cage.
What the Cubs want is the long
distance hitting type. the kind who
might go out on long flies in Bos-
ton but hit home runs in Chicago.
Meusel and Barnhart would go
them one better than that. They
get their hits In all cities.

HEBRON ALONE
WINS TITLE ON
OWN LINKS
Statistics Refute Theory That
Golfer Has Edge When
Host

Davidson Heron, winner OF the
national amateur golf championship
in 1919 and who will compete from
Philadelphia club In this years
titular tournament, holds an unique
record. Often 1t has been said that
a homo club golfer has decided
edge in any tourney over his clubs
links. Statistics, however, disprove
such a popular theory.
In the last twelve years. Heron
Is the only amateur to win over his
own clubs course. In 1919. when
Heron won the title, he was a
member of the Oakmont Club,
where the matches were held.
OF late it has become the prac.
tice OF many of our leading golfers
to virtually live several weeks on
course over which ii major tour.
nament is to be staged. This, they
believe. will make them familiar
with the traps to be avoided and
materially lower their score.
Willie MacF'arlane, the present
open champion. is one who bellies
the theory that you must know
a course to triumph. MacFarlane,
it Is said. only had one practice
round over the Worcester course
before he went out and won tho
title.
Most golfers who get around var
ious courses soon acquire the knacII
Of sizing distances. They seldom
are fooled on strange courses in
the matter of distances and thus
their scores are held remarkably
low.
Francis Ouimet, OF whom much
is expected in the nationals this
year as a result Of his sensational
comeback this spring and summer,
doesn't belieYe playing on a strange
course is a handicap.

This is a combination that looks
unbeatable TO me. Bottomley at
first gets the call on account of
his great improvement over last
season both in fielding and hitting.
He Is a fast and clever fielder and
his stick work has broken up lots
of ball games this year. Hornsby
Of course must be at second, while
Frisch and Bluege complete an i'm
pregnable infield.
Jameson is finding himself a
little late this year, but neverthe-
less he is coming fast and should
finish the season with an excellent
average. Simmons bids fair to
lead the American League in bat
ting before October, while Cuyler
is one Of the most consistent hit
tiers in the big leagues.
"CoveIeskie is the big ace with
the Senators and easily the best
pitcher in the American League,
while Vance is still making them
dizzy with his speed ball in the Ma
tional League. If Ray Schalk ever
caught a bad game / never heard
