PHILADELPHIA July 30.--Johnny
Weissmuller's proposed trip to the
Orient was definitely abandoned when
word was received from Charles Dean,
chairman of the board OF directors Of
the Illinois A. c., that Weissmuller
will not be released from his pledge
TO compete in the Illinois swimming

He had sought permission from the
Illinois Club officials to compete In a

At the same time 1t was revealed
that Weissmuller was engaged to
Lillian Wruck of Chicago, and in

In view of the Illinois A. c., attitude

SHARKEY HARD-LUCk
MAN OF. PRIZE RING

NEW YORK. July 80. - Jack
Sharkey, the Boston heavyweight.
seems to be the real hard-luck guy OF
the boxing game. Jack was signed TO
fight champion Jack Delaney only TO
have the match called off because the
champion injured his thumb in the
Berlenbach battle. Delaney will be on
the shelf at least eight weeks and
that means Sharkey will not get the
fight, since it is an outdoor atGrac-
ton. and by that time the open air
clubs will have ceased doing business.
Before the name of Harry Wills was
injected in the Richard Clements con-
troversy, an effort was made to pit the
bean-eater against the big negro chal-
lenger for the heavyweight title. NOW
Wills will do no fighting until all hope
Of a Dempsey fight is abandoned.
Either of these fights would have
meant a. considerable amount OF
money to Sharkey. Although he Is
big favorite around his home town
and he has been fighting with some
degree of regularity, he has as yet TO
cut into any big money.
frankie Genaro seems to be getting
to be regular alibi kid. The former
fyweight titleholder was held to a
draw by the supposedly passe Willie
Darcy. Genaro's manager immedi-
ately rushes to the wire with the
statement that Genaro broke his arm
or something.
Genaro went out to the Coast last
year and was decisively beaten by
youngster just out of the amateur
ranks. Immediately the cry went up
that La Barba was a joke champion
and that Genaro did not take the fight
seriously and was not in condition.
Genaro's manager failed to consider
that lack of condition is no excuse for
a dismal effort.
Genaro is far from being the same
efficient fighting lad who beat the late
Pancho Villa. Alibis will not cover his
deficiencies. A return to the hard
days of real fighting against good boys
may yet do it.

And last but not least, we are told
that swimming is an excellent mental

as a mental exhilarator.
As in all other things, Constant and

Association, established in October,
1917, was organized for the purpose
of furnishing the maximum number
of girls and women an opportunity

done much in the nine years Of It's
existence to develop this particular
aquatic sport for women.

Hagen Still Drawing Card.

When enthusiastic promoters Of ex
hibition golf matches among profes'
sional stars approach Walter Hagen
in a mood of optimism born OF the
fact that he failed in the British and
American open championships, they
recoil as promptly as golf Dali
from a stone wall.
VIII he appear, say in 72'hole
exhibition match, without a guaran'
tee? He will not. Although all the
glittering major golf crowns may
rest super imposed upon Bobby Jones
flaxen head, Sir Walter knows almost
to the penny his value as a drawing
card and he knows that II is as great,
If not greater, than when he occupied
the throne.
His game is as proficient as ever
it was and there is always the strong
probability of his crashing through to
another title. So long as this prospect
exists he will retain his enormous
following Of admirers and will be
justified in placing a definite premium
upon his appearances in matches
against Macdonald Smith, recently
projected, or any other golfer.
In this respect the sport OF golf
offers advantages to its star per-
formers which do not appear to exist
in other competitive games. There is
always the strong likelihood Of come
back in the case of the stellar links
man.
Tennis Stars Burn Out.
With the rarest Of exceptions when
the tennis king falls he remains on
the ground. In the one or more sea
sons in which he is pre-eminent he
gradually burns out the nice qualities
that have made him supreme, and
when he is deposed he slips by degrees
almost imperceptibly, or very rapidly,
as the case may be, down the darken-
ing way to oblivion.
It remains to be seen whether or
not Bill Johnston-more through the
apparent decline of Tilden than
through renascent qualities in the
little Californian that carried him to
the top-will be able to demonstrate
the truth of a rule by providing a
brilliant exception.
In any event the fact remains that
other than Johnston the men who
have held the title since Larned's day
are not now to be reckoned as likely
contenders for the crown. Maurice
McLoughlin would have a hard time
to gain a position in the first 20, and
while Norris Williams hangs on to
his game no one CONSUMERS MIN DIS d
championship probability.
On the track. when a watch con-
sistently throughout season ticks a
second, or even a fraction of a Sec
ond, longer than 1t used to do while
q runner is laying the cinders under
his feet, tina. athletes day is over.
Few Ring Men Come Back.
Your champion pugilist, nine times
out of ten, is through with his scepter
when he sees the referee raise the
gloved hand Of a contender after a
bout, and in base ball when the bat
ting average Of big Lacquer shows
declining figures over a season or two
he begins with the best and most
logical reasons to look about him for
a soft spot whereon to fall.
Perhaps when the ranks of golf are
crowned with super-eminent special
lists, as is bound eventually to be the
case, the Walter Hagens of the future
will, when 1t comes to pricing their
services, be in positions less strong
than Sir Walter is now. But he is
living in today. not tomorrow, and
none knows it better than he does.

And, assuming they did play with
them and, as well, were restricted To
the sort of clubs that Tom Morris
used to employ, what would be the re-
suit? In all probability the modern
lists would have a more exalted con-
ception of the prowess of young
Tom" than they now hold.
Perhaps the sanest view to take OF
the matter Is to accept the AFFINITY 10
achieve greatly in any age or epoch
as a standard to hold that the quail
ties in a man that rendered him out
standing in one generation would
Ave served him similarly had ne nap
pinned to have lived later. as in the
case of young" Tom Morris. or
earlier. IS in the cases Of Walter
Hagen and Bobby Jones.
Applies to All Sports.
In it's essence the argument is COM
prehensive, applying as it does to any
sport. You will hear collegians of the
sos and COS asserting that linemen
such as Heffelfinger. Wheeler, Cowan,
Sanford. Lea, Newell, Morrison, Cor
bin and the rest are no longer bred,
and the great backfield men ceased
when Lake and Corbett and Thorne
and Cumnock and half a hundred
other heroes of tradition hung up
their cleated shoes.
The trouble here. as in golf, is that
foot ball of the SOS and COS and the
game of today are two dinerent
games, and comparisons therefore are
useless. At the same time 1t is no
more to be doubted that those men
whose names have become legendary
would prove valuable members of a
modern variety outfit than that the
present-day stars would shine luml.
nously even without the improved
methods of play and other advantages
which they enjoy.
Could Tilden defeat Larned were
Larned today in his years of youth!
Very probably, if Larned were to play
the sort of tennis that was played 20
odd years ago, Tilden playing the
modern game. But If Larned were
now young he would employ modern
methods in meeting Tiiden, and there
YOU are. The argument works in cir
cles and one can never get anywhere
in debate when this tendency is domi-
nant.
