many Irishmen who were not close
enough to the ring to see what was
going on.
Dexter fellows would cut loose
on these phases Of the case and
bare his caSt-irOn tonsils to
the breeze.
He would recall, in a casual man.
ner, the time that Hjalmar Mogren,
a sparring partner, sued Mr.. McLar-
min for $4,000 for breaking his jaw.
He would touch lightly on the fact
that a beautiful girl, Mr.. McLarnins
f1ancee, was praying for James to win
the fight and retire from the racket.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Fellows
would not have to mention these facts
and features at all. The boys in the
writing business would take one look
at him, for inspirational purposes,
and become infected at once with
acute adjectivitis. That Is Mr. Eel
lows ways. You know it's not Mr..
Fosters as soon as you hear him
mutter:
Jimmy Is feeling pretty
good"
There is no hint of blood and color
and vengeance in these words, as Mr..
Foster speaks them, but there doesn't
have to be. You know what Mr.. Fos-
ter means. And you know, when
you see his placid countenance in
your town, that McLarnin, revenge,
and September are just around the
corner.

career, Ty Cobb once went "a times
to bat without getting anything that
resembled a hit.
And the great Ty was about ready
to jump from the top of tall build
ing before the slump ended.
The correct mental attitude is a
big part of competitive sport. AS
Tommy Armour once said: Few peo-
minute-much less an hour. Bob
Jones could concentrate for three
hours with few intermissions. 1t isn't
as easy as it looks to be. At times it
can be heavy punishment-worse
than any physical suffering"

mental balance of an opponent by

Nerves and Mind.
n EANY competitors who are nerv-
Nl Gus or jumpy lay the fault to
tangled nerves.
But the trouble starts in the mind
or brain-not in the nerves.
Anxiety, overeagerness, fear of fail
ure, inability to concentrate on the
right thing to do-all hit the nervous
system and lead to trouble.
One of the steadieSt and most con-
sistent golfers I know has made a
habit of concentrating on a smooth,
unhurried backswing at every stroke.
Il say to myself, Smooth, smooth
at the start Of every swing" he said
one day
Il also find that if I take 1t for
granted the backswing will be smooth,
1 frequently run into trouble. 1t is a.
good habit to pick up. If the back
swing is started smoothly, without any
hurry or jerk, the swing is likely to
remain smooth all the way through
without any sudden jerks or leaps
from the top-even before the back
swing is finished"
This is one section of concentration
that Bobby Jones always uses.
"One of my biggest faults at the
start, he said, was a hurried back
swing-at least one that was entirely
too fast to be controlled. 1t took me
several years to cure this fault under
pressure-where it always hits you
hardest. 1t makes no difference how
much golf you play, the pace of the
clubhead always must hold your at
tention."
Ball players will tell you one of the
most common of all hitting faults is
that of hitting too quickly-not wait
ing for the ball. There is a mental
tendency, especially in a pinch, to
hit ahead of schedule.
Any ball player in batting slump
is affected badly on the mental side.
He becomes mentally tense and, un-
less some relaxing process can be
found. the slump may continue in

YANKS FAVOR|TES

BabcoCk. .StammerS Match
Quarter-FinaI Feature
in National Play.
gg BY BOB CAvAGNARO,

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, August 16
The 47th national women's ten
mis- championship, in the quar-
4 ter-final stage, today resolved
itself into a meeting of two OF
this country's ablest stars against a
pair of British title seekers with the
prospects of a dual victory for the
home guard.
The American players were Sarah
Palfrev of Brookline, Mass, and Caro-
lin Bsbcock of Los Angeles, whose
opponents were Freda James and
Katherine Stammers, respectively. The
little New England star was conceded
an easy victory over the frall but
courageous Miss James, but Miss Bah
cock was only slight favorite over
Miss Stammers.
Playing in this country for the first
time. Miss Stammers, who ranks
fourth in England, has established
herself as a player worthy of high
honors. The British southpaw's per-
formances through the early stages
of the tournament compare favorably
with the play of the best Americans.
Miss Babcock, who ranks fifth ma
tionally and was a finalist in 1882
when Helen Jacobs won the crown for
the first time, has been playing
strongly and disposed of her first three
opponents with the loss of only III
games winning all of her matches in
straight sets.

Rainbow Of in Front.

Rainbow Of in Front.
TINE start was inside the mouth of
Vineyard Haven Harbor about
a mile southwest of the West
Chop Bell Bouy, which was the first
turn OF the course. Rainbow, Yankee,
Vanitie and Weetamoe crossed the
starting line in the order named.
The beat to the West Chop Bell
Buoy was too small a leg for Yankee
to work out into the lead, and Rain
bow reached Sow and Pigs Lightship
nearly Az minutes ahead of Yankee,
which had a smaller margin on
Weetamoe, with Vanitie fourth.
After leaving the lightship the big
sloops found the wind getting lighter
and lighter. Finally Gerry Lambert
hauled Vanitie up on her course and
headed toward Warrens Point. Short
ly afterward Dick Boardman followed
with Weetamoe. Then Charlie Adams
began to sniff about and up went
Yankee. Meanwhile Rainbow was
kept on her course for Brentons with
the air getting lighter.
Breeze Comes Up Quickly.
A S LUCK would have it, a nice
n northwest breeze came swooping
down the Sakonet River. Vani-
tie got it first and away she romped.
Then it struck Weetamoe and, finally,
Yankee, so they went chasing up the
Rhode Island shore after Vanitie.
While this was going on the wind left
Rainbow fiat, with her mainsail
swinging idly about. and. after 80
minutes, she gave up entirely.
Over the remaining three or four
miles of the 37-naile course, with their
sheets trimmed in hard, Weetamoe
obviously was gaining on Vanitie, and
Yankee was closing in on both craft,
but the distance was too short for
them to change positions. However,
both were easily within their allow
ance of over four minutes.

Furr Cooks His Goose
in Running Out of
Wilson Fight.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN. ..

@HIL FURR, the In-Again, Out
- Again F1nnegan who bit the
hand that fed his first f1Stic
i success, has broken the all
time local record for the we'll
known Jump from the frying pan
which he considered Bob Wilson
into the fire.
The coffee and cruller fighter of
only a few weeks back, who fairly
was showed into a main-eventers
shoes as only Goldie Ahearn of the
hometown promotorial brigade can
shove, has done what Dempsey or
Baer wouldn't dare-left not only q
promoter but a boxing commission
holding the bag.
Thus, in setting a new high
for fistic folly in Washington,
Furr has escaped sampling the
punch Of Wilson, whom he was
to battle Monday at the Riding
and Hunt Club.
But thus has he left himself wide
open for q wallop umpteenth times
sitter than that Of any fighter hv-
ing-a sock by the mailed fist Of O
conscientious boxing commission.
"TURR is in perfect physical con-
II dition to fight, Mr.. Commits
sioners, proclaimed the District
boxing salons physician to Freddie
Buchholz and Maj Ernie Brown
yesterday as he laid aside his
stethescope.
Phil" paternally advised Messrs
Buchholz and Brown, you're signed
for a fight. 1t would be better If you
went through with it."
Phil Fur blinked undecidingly, as
though murmuring an inward eenie-
mineymoe to fight or not to fight.
Give me 20 minutes to talk it
over" requested Fur.
Ahearn, standing nearby. "AS q
matter of fact we'll wait an hour,
won't we?" Everybody silently nodded.
1t was 4:30 when Furr left the
commission office in company with
the lawyer and doctor he brought
along. He hasn't been heard from
since, and in his stead Stanley Loayza
has been signed.
THUS Is Phil FUR charged with
contempt Of the boxing court
and the first fighter in line
for punishment by the ring czars,
who will swing into action next Mon
day when Majs Brown and Lucian
Vandoren, and Buchholz and Maj
Harvey Miller, secretary, meet in
solemn conclave.
"As far as I'm concerned"
stated a disgusted BuchhOlz this
morning, "Furr can be made
an example of what will hap
pen to fighters who persist in
breaking our rules. This has
gone far enough.
"Of course" he amended, I'm not
speaking for the commission. How
Furr will be punished will be de-
cided Monday"

Vanitie crossed the finish line at the
head of a marine procession, which
lasted only about a minute, so that
both Weetamoe and Yankee were
within their time allowance and beat
Vanitie on the corrected time.
The race was anything but a test,
and was another heartbreaker for
Rainbow, which led most of the way,
only to drop into q soft spot off
Sakonet Point and remain there while
her rivals sailed around her. After
half an hour the Rainbow's after
guard became disgusted and with

~ ETROIT. August l6.-The
spectacular drive that the
Detroit Tigers are making
~ for the American League
pennant is doing a lot for
this city's morale.
Detroit was hard hit by the depres-
sion and its banking troubles caused
much hardship and suffering. Re-
Gently many leading citizens were
named in indictments handed down
by a Federal grand jury.
But all the bitterness engendered
by this situation has been forgotten
in the wild excitement that has seized
Detroit as result Of the perform
anceS of its 1884 base ball team.
Mickey Cochrane, the Tigers man.
ager, is DetroitS leading citizen and
first hero. All this week, since the
series started in New York between
the Tigers and the Yankees, every
thing else has been forgotten. The
city can talk or think about nothing
but base ball.
1t is 25 years since Detroit has had
pennant winner. Back in 1907.
1908 and 1909, three American League
pennants in a row were taken by the
Detroit Tigers under the leadership
of the late Hughie Jennings. Those
were the days when Ty Cobb was at
the peak of his brilliant career, and
associated with him were such great
players as Sam Crawford, Davey
Jones, Wild Bill Donovan. Germany
Schaefer, Claud RoSsman, Ed Killian
and DOME Bush.
