It Is not so many years ago that hi fam
ily physician In Washington, hi home
town, looked at him sorrowfully, felt his
pulse,' tested his lung and shook his head
hopelessly. "He hasn't many month of
life," wit the doctor verdlet. An ath
letic course of treatment was suggested,
ar this peerless athlete of today bears
little resemblance to the stooped-over, hollow-cheeked
weakling of a short time ago.
At home he waa alway an excellent
student He prepared for college at Exeter,
whin he established an enviable reputa
tion as a middle-distance runner. Despite
the fact that both Harvard and Yale oou'
had their weather-eye out for the lad, he
headed for the college on the shore of
Lake Cayuga.
He ha been entered In three Intercol
legiate contests thlt season and has won
the mile In each affair. In th big meet
at us mortage recently ne established a
new amateur world' record for the mile.
Hi time was 4:15. a fifth of a second
fatter than that made by Tom Conneff At
Traver Islgnd. N. T., In August of 1(35.
When Conneff ran th mil 4:16. he ran
hi first half In 1:01 flat Th speed of
Jones can best be appreciated when It I
reallred that he ran th last 440 yards of
his roll In l:VH. Th professional record

tional polo championship will be In much
better trim to defend tb trophy than when
tbe mallet-wielding quartet bore th
Meadowbrook color Thursday.
The lack of condition displayed by some
member of the American team Inoensed
Captain Whitney so much that be baa
served notice that If any member I not in
good physical condition for th next match
hi place will be filled by a substitute.
This warning had been heeded, and there
appears likely today that there will be no
need for a substitute being called In Foxall
Keene stands first on the list of substitutes.
He la the captain of th Freebooters the
polo four that gave th Defenders soms
bating In tb practice game.
It waa admitted today that It wag not

ragged playing of Larry Waterbury In
Thursday's gam. Ha had not observed
elementary rule of atbletlo training, and
ww out of condition.
Showed Lack of Tralalaar.
The playing of Mont Watsrbury and
Devereaux Milburn also showed lack of
.proper' training, but the latter overcame
this when he warmed up to th game.
Those in a position to see the effect of
Captain Whitney' training regulation
upon th men declared that they will all
probably be In topnotch condition when
the second match starts.
H. L. Herbert chairman of the Polo as

Whitney, aald this afternoon that so far

In the lineup of either team for that game.

Th rumor that S, B. Buckmaster. tb
crack ten goal civilian player, will arrive
here from England Monday to add strength
to the British team, was not believed by
Mr. Herbert He said Buckmaster bad
not notified him of any intention to com

NEW YORK, June I. Aviation's prin
cipal Interest I centered In tbe holding of
th world' aeroplane championship for the
international trophy In England. July 1 6o
far a th aero club of th different coun
tries are concerned, the list ar already
closed. England, France, Germany, Au
stralia and th United State will be repre
sented. . Which of th prominent aviator
of thee coun trie will actually compete I
a matter of conjecture. Last year the
trophy waa won by Grahme-Whlte of Eng
land, and h will In all probability be on
of th Englishmen to defend tbe title. The
rule permit three aviator from each
country to enter th competition. The
committee In charge of deciding th trio
and their substitutes to represent America
1 bard at work all th time, but It ob
servations ar not being bulletined every
Urn a not I made for reference.
Wtyaas Possible Cbolee.
Mr. Weyman, who I now angaged In
flying abroad, will probaly be one of the
selection from thla country. H will com
pete In a French monoplane. Tbe com
mittee would Ilk very much much to have
Its avaitor enter tbe competition using
American built speed machine.
Tb race will be for be for ISO kilometre,
er ninety-three miles, over a five kilometre
oourse. According to th optimlstlo obser
vation of soms of tb pilots, th ninety
three mile will be traversed In between
sixty-flv and seventy minutes, which
mean an average of elghty-flv mile an
hour.
One of the moat striking evidence of th
wonderful advance made In aviation during
the last year I tbe announcement that dur
ing the coming season th major portion
of th attention of both the professional
and amateur aviator will be paid to flying
in cross-country events rather than In the
meet held over the circular courses of
mall park or tracks.
No better example of this could be given
than th condition In Franca In that
country last year forty oourse meets were
held. Not on baa been arranged for this
season. Everything I cross-country.
There will be many of the events. In
England, Germany and Austria practically
th nam tendencies prevail. In this coun
try meet ar being arranged throughout
It entirety. Th gnral trend appear
to adhere to th "track" events, but there
will be many cross-country race and testa
a wall. The idea of these cross-country
meet I decidedly military In Its purpose.
It show that th general tendency la to
develop distance a well as speedy flights
and to mak evident the usefulness of the
aeeroplan In army maneuvers. On of th
best. If not the best meet scheduled to
be held In this country during the season
I that slated for Chicago during th first
two week In - August
Negotiation are being conduoted to se
cure several foreign aviator to compete
and the prospect ar that little difficulty
will be experienced In accomplishing this,
as ther r any number of good pilot
abroad. One of the feature, and on which
will be the most closely watched of all.
will be the event for hydroaeroplane. Ac-
COrdlng to th present plan, the, ma-
chines will start from the park, fly over
Lake Michigan, light on the' water and
rise (unassisted) and return again to the
park. At present th Curtlss machine Is
th only on which ha accomplished this
feat with any degree of pronounced auo
cess, although many Inventors are said to
be perfecting their type of hydroaero
planes. It la probable that before very
long high horaepowered aeroplane will
not be the decided novelty they now are.
Many of the leading manufacturer ar
busily engaged testing the Increased power
In engines. It is reported that the 130
horsepower Bleriot will soon be seen in
notion. This increased power ha been
generated by harnessing two Gnome en
gine of seventy horsepower each. Thl
will be the highest powered machine yet
attempted. Mr. Hamilton baa used a 110
horsepower engine.
MORE INTEREST IN TENNIS
Prospect of Big; Coart Matcke Are
Numerous.
Tbe jubilation felt at. the challenge of
the South African for the Davis cup and
the entrance of th German player In th
U-English tournament Is caused by th
prospect thl afford of there being even
mor interest aroused in the gam than
exists at tbe present time.
The all-English championship will' be
watched with more than the usual inter
est this season, for besides the four Ameri
can player who will compete, and the
Englishmen, there will be th Australian,
South African and German team, giving
th tournament a decidedly International
aspect.
In a rather lengthy article, which ap
peered In an English magazine recently.
P. A. Veils of Australia, set forth that
ther I a retrogression in the quality of
the English players. He attempt to cite
th reaaon for thla
Follower of the game of tennl will un
doubtedly remember the famous Doherty
brother of England. They truly were fin'
Ished players, and since their retirement
from th game Mr. Valle insists that the
player In England have deteriorated in
stead of having become better.. He at
tribute this to the fact that the English
men have been following th wrong track
In developing their prowess. He says that
the English game, (as It waa played there
years ago), 1 now to be found only In
th United State and Australia,
Mr. Valle goes on to state that the chief
fault h finds is in the grip now In vogue
among English players. Hs says that this
grip permits th players to use almost any
kind of a stroke without changing the
position of their hands on tb racket. Ha
claims that there are any number of dif
ferent grin which must be brought Into
play at various times during a contest
and for use in different strokes.
Although Mr. Valle's crltlcium may be
correct fundamentally, and it 1 true that
England cannot boast as many prominent
young players a doe this country, still
his advise is anything but welcom on th
British Itles, coming as It does, from prac
tically a foreigner.

Never In th history of the game In

Australian Leapt Over Bar at Six Feet
Without Aid of Scientifio
' Training.
NEW YORK. June a Australia not only
revel In the production of phenomenal
swimmers, but the latest mall brings the
account of a wonderful young high Jumper.
He I only a echooibay, being a tudnt at
Wesley school, but he haa already shown
form worthy of the front rank of veteran.
He I able to clear the bar any day at
feet I Inches, and he haa already an
nexed the Australian record by bounding
over feet one-fourth Inch, th old mark
being 4 feet, to the oredlt of E. K. Russell
of Tasmania. The youngster' name Is
Lester H, Kelly and h 1 5 feet 10 Inches
tall, and weighs 160 pound. An instantan
eou photograph of th jumper taken Just
as he was crossing th bar when at 8 "feet
shows his body perpendicular In the air,
with his legs tucked up under him, which
means that he haa several Inches' to. gain
when he learn to twist himself over' the
willow, i. i
A report of the Victorian chamnlonshlD.
where be won wtfh a Jump of feet says
that he rune straight at the bar, taking
a downright honest leap at It Ilka a man
would over a ditch or wall. He land on
his left leg, facing the bar. It la said that
Kelly ha had no coaching and that what
ever he know about th exercise came to
him in a natural way, so that If na should
ever happen to find himself In the hand
of a proper trainer who happened to know
anything about high Jumping th world'
record appear to be within his reach. Down
In the Antipodes ther Is talk now of send
ing Kelly with ome other to Stockholm,
so that some of the boy from ther will
have an opportunity of seeing the new
wonder. Perhaps Kelly may turn but to be
a real record maker, or he may fade away
like many a boy wonder heretofore.
Among th expert th prevalent theory
a that boy wonder never amount to much
a men. Tbere are exceptions, of course,
like Lei and Roott and Ralph Rose, who
maintained the form right through to the
year of manhood. In th high jumping
there . are a long string of notable In
stance where the boy wonders did not de
velop. Into record breaker. In th early
90s when Baltazxl did over ( feet every
one said a new record breaker had ap
peared and that he only needed the years
of manhood when h would wipe the
standing mark off the book. Th year of
manhood came in due courss, but Jt was
strange that Baltazxl could not soar aa
high as hi Juvenile efforts. At the Prince
ton Interscholastic meet In 1890 J. S. Spra-
ker cleared 4 feet t Inches end th critic
and sensationalists figured that Sweeney's
mark of 4 feet 6 Inches was a good as
gone. Though Bpraker, wearing the Yale
color, scored several win In th couple
of year In which he was active he never
took a fall out of Sweeney' mark.

Two Seconds Better Thaa

NEW YORK. June t For a number of
year Australia ha been remrkbl for
th production of fast swimmer nd th
land of the kangaroo has maintained It
reputation this season with another out
and out "phenom." Unlike the CavUl.
Kleran, Wlckham and Baurpalr4, who
took more or less tlm to develop Into the
championship rises, thl new man. or rather
boy, has earned record fame at almost hi
first header Into the brine. Not ony ha
he placed hi name on the scroll of qua
tlo history, but hs ha taken the meaure of
Frank E, Beaurepalre, the greatest mlddl
and distance swimmer of thl generation, at
a standard event
The name of the new wonder la W. Long
worth and he hall from Rose Bay. Nw
South Wales. In the championship of that
territory, which marked the opening of
the swimming season In th Antipodes,
Long worth made hi debut and though
some rumor had reached the outside world
about his prowess, nobody vr vn
dreamed of the form which he ubsequently
exhibited. He wss entered In. everything
from the sprints to the mile, and he man
fully took a crack at everything. In the
three-quarter of a mil he did hi best
work for he beat Beaurepalre . In record
tlm for the whol world. In tb mot d
clsiv style Lotigworth outswam Beaur
palr and the youngster hit the finish la
17 minutes, 42 seconds.
The previous Australian mark tor the
distance was 18 mlnute.i, 4 seconds, by
Beaurepalre two years ago, and against
Longworth, th ex-reoord holder did muck
better than hia former figures. The Ameri
can record 1 17 minutes, 45 seconds, by
Daniel In a bath of slxly-flve turns, but'
with th same number of turn which
Longworth took, Daniel did 11 minute
80 seconds on Verona lak two year aeo.
Th English record In a bath at eleven
turn la 17 minute. U second by 8. Bat
tersby two year ago.
In the 100 yards Cecil Healy just managed
to beat the youngater by a touch, and
Healy was considered lucky, for Longworth
had something taken out of him In a trial
heat of another event . In a short tlm after- .
ward Longworth showed wonderful (print
ing ability, though the "hundred" may not
be bla very best distance. For all journey
above the century mark he exhibit rare
speed, as ran be shown by hi world's
record for ths 110 metres. H swt.-n th dis
tance In 45 seconds, wiping all th old
mark off the books. In statute measure
ment the distance 1 a fraction over 120
yard, and an Idea of Longworth' going
can best be judged when It Is understood
that the Australlsn record for the 120 yards
I 1 minute, 12H second, by Dick Cavtll
eight year ago. Th English record
is 1 minute 11 second, by C. M. Daniel
of th New York Athletic club at the
Hackney baths, London, England, In 1907.
Though their theorle are not very clear
the. Australian hav It .figured now that
Longworth would swim rings around Dan
iel for anything over the -hundred. In
writing about it one of the experts says:
Two of th American' feats will belp
us . to appraise the new Australian cham
pion' efforts at their worth. At Manchester
In the High Street baths, on September 7.
1007, Daniels swam th 100 yard In 56'
second. At Nw York on April 18,' 110 be
covered 100 meter Irk Cl second.' It I
difficult to conceive still water condition
better than those which prevailed at Man
chester and New ' York. They ar both
twenty-five-yard courses and allow thre
turn. Longworth traveled almost eleven
yards further than Daniels' New York
swim, and only occupied 2 seconds mor.
Tbi report make a hack out of Daniels.
It also makes us wish to hear mor of
Longworth." Th Australian swimming au
thorities ar now regretting that they did
not know about Longworth In tlm. a
they would have sent him to England this
year.
