ANSWER
Miss Wainwright's Wholesale
Challenge for Test
Still Stands

NEW YORK, June 26. - The
worldwide challenge of Miss Helen
Wainwright for series Of races
to determine aquatic supremacy
among her sex, is still unanswered.
The Flushing, L. l., star stated to-
day she will be prepared all sum
mer to defend her laurels against
any mermaid who disputes her
claim.
Miss Wainwright has added one
stipulation to her challenge. If
any one agrees to meet her, the
competition, for which huge purse
will be offered, must be held In the
Wentworth by-the-Sea pool. at Ports
mouth, N. H., where Miss Vain
wright will soon begin her duties
as swimming and diving coach for
the summer. She will leave for
New England In day or two.
While at the Wentworth, Miss
Wainwright will devote her spare
time to building up her powers for
her attempt to swim the English
Channel, scheduled for early next
year.

Catcher Makes First
Unassisted Triple
Play

CUSHING, Okla, June %.
What Is believed to be the first
unassisted triple play ever made
BY catcher IN organized base
ball was executed In Gushing ~
Emmett Wiley, Of the Cushing
team. Inlthe fourth inning the
bases were loaded with none ont
and the batter had three balls
and two strikes. The hit and
run play was signaled and
everybody started. The man 1t
bat swung and was . strike
out victim; the man On third
was approaching the plate full
tilt and Wiley tagged him.
Then, seeing that the man who
had occupied first had become
confused near second and was
trying to get back to the initial
bag, Wiley got down to the
first sack and tagged him. Bad
base running helped make pos
sibIe the last out in the play,
but it was an u1lassisted triple
determination, neverthe less.

70 r E ]!
AND AFTER
By ROSS CoNKLIN-

The big test in golf is always
the ability TO press successfully
in any emergency. Most Of the
club swingers can practice like
Hagen or Barnes, but when they
come to playing match, that
is something else again. And it's
all so silly, oh my, yes.
a. L. Houghton, municipal links.
is a good example Of one who can
press and get away with It. In
fact, he also got away with the
match In which he pressed. Hough-
ton was 2 down to G. ,. Rollins.
He had to- get In some strokes
somewhere, and he started slam
ming the tee shots. Rollins coMldn' t
press correctly, and he began to
stray outside, while Houghton bore
down all the harder. He had
brides on his last three holes to
win.
Roland Mackenzie Is another who
can get serious and attempt to get
more yardage to his drives and APP
breaches. George Won Elm, who
played Mackenzie in the national
amateur last year, can testify to
that. George almost lost his Off
cial head trying to keep Roland
down after the youngster had
started his deadly and powerful tee
shots right. Mackenzie carried
Won Elm farther than the latter
had ever been carried before.
George Voigt is another who
can step into the breach with
daring shots. He would try. to
drive the top Of the Washington
Monument IL IL meant q golf
match. He did almost that in
the Middle Atlantics in Baltimore
and his grit and courage were
rOundIy praised.
Now we shall have some fun, at
some other persons expense. There
are two, golf leagues here and they
play separate matches. That may
mean that the champion Of one
league will meet the champion of
the other and the fur will fly.
Washington, Columbia, Chevy
Chase, Bannockburn, and Indian
Spring are all members of one or
ganization that has been going for
several years. Columbia usually
dominates the teams with it's versa
tile array Of golfers.
Now, Beaver Dam, Manor and
Argyle have formed a league and
they will start play tomorrow, with
Beaver Dam playing host to the
Argyle club at Lanham, Md. Matches
have been arranged clear through
July and August, and the winning
team will be given a suitable prize.
The Town and Country Club will
hold a tournament for handicap
players Sunday. Players have been
divided into two classes, through
their handicaps. Those with handi-
caps under 80 will be in Gle IS "a"
while those in class "B" will have
higher handicaps. The winners and
runners-up will be given prizes.
State. Richard will be notified to
abandon plans for the match at the
Yankee Stadium. He had figured
on it for late next month.
Kaplan would like to step in with
Edouard Mascart, OF France. John
Leon is willing to promote this
match at the Coney Island Stadium
on June 80. However, it is a GER
tainty the boxing board will say
nay to this. Kaplan will not be
allowed to box here until he meets
Herman.

The Yankees established the
fact while in Washington that
they had been sent for and
couldn't come. Gotham fans
have let out the SOS, but the
players all have cotton in their

If the Yankees haven't been

then what are they doing all of
this hopping about for?
All they need to complete the
three-ring atmosphere is plenty
of sawdust sprinkled literally

East Potomac Park Golfers
WIN Play Finals Late
Today
RY ROSS CONKLIN.

Two municipal links sharks, whose
games differ as greatly as pos
sihle, provided the stellar attrac-
ton for the golf bugs Of East
Potomac Park today. Harry G.
Pitt, . demon putter and golfer
who is always dangerous when
his ball is anywhere near the
green, and William A. Mcclure,
one Of the hardest hitting FREE
quenters Of the Tauny links are
the two.
They met In the upper bracket of
the first flight as the result Of bril-
liant victories In the first and sec.
ond rounds of play. Pitt was drag
ging in his second round match
when the youthful and highly eff
Gent John Shorey gave him a days
work. Shorey had the Pitt two
down because Of two long puts
for brides. The match was squared
when Pitt sank two longer ones, and
sc was over on the twentieth green
when Pitt, after putting his
mashie shot on the short hole five
feet from the PIN ran down bis
putt for a birdie.
w. B. MIIIiken, Pitts first round
6pponent. only gave him q work
cut.
Mcclure found 3 tartar IN the
elxteen-year-OId e. Prevail, 3 cad
de at Columbia. Prevail, not an
Inch taller than McGufre's driver,
won the first hole, and caused
some CONSERVATION. He lost his
nerve after that, and only through
MCGuire's kindness did he 20
much farther.
Eddie Frost did not take kindly

noon, and Mcclure trimmed him

tant things are concerned. Hough.
ton narrowly missed humiliation In
his second round when G. b. Roll
Inns came close to defeating him.
That may cause the slightly built
youngster to stiffen his game.
The finals will start at O'Clock
with thirty-six holes to be played.
In spite Of the heavy rains
during the second round matches,
some excellent scoring was re-
ported. A. l.. H0ughtOn had
three brides on his last holes.
James Hubbell had one over par
for his last eighteen, and several
others reported par figures.
The surprise of the second six.
teen was the defeat Of Larry Day
by Fred Walep, the musician. Fred
took Larry on q Wild expedition
that ended on the sixteenth green.
His erstwhile partner In notes and
bars, Fish" Walker, had been de-
feated by Larry In the first round.
