NSW TORK, July L Th Mississippi
Water Marathon, emblematic of th long
distance swimming championship of Amer
ica, will be held on August U under the
auspices of the Missouri Athletio olub of
fit. Louis. - Coach Sullivan, lisventor Of tb
tredgeoo-erawl stroke, thinks h has at
last a man to beat Goodwin In th event.
This pupil of hi a L. B. Bank, has twice
figured conspicuously In th gruelling test,
and of lata h has been showing remark
able speed. In a recent trial In Laugblin'
lak h covered on mil from a tread
water start In twentyight minutes, and
Sullivan believes that tu can take consid
erable off this tims In the next two months.
If this proves the eass Goodwin will have
to swim better than h ever did before to
win. His clubreates, however, feel confi
dent that he will luooeasfully defend hi
title.
Richard FrtseM of th New York Ametlc
club will be gtven a chanos to show what
hs can do In open water at the carnival
to be held In Sheepshead bay. A special
race will be put on to allow him to go
after Daniel' 1100 yards straightaway rec
ord or sixty Seconds. If his Indoor per
formance ar any criterion of hi outdoor
ability . h should hav no difficulty In
lowering the mark. In the race for the
national title hs covered the distance In

Th feat -accomplished by Charles Dur
borow In swimming from Philadelphia to

Bigger and Better Than Previous
V .Tournaments, , - ,f
The eventh annual Nebraska Stats Golf
association tournament, to be held on th
Field olub link July 6, 4, 7 and S, will b
bigger and better than ever. Th tourney
will far surpass in number of golfers any
thing th stat association has over at
tempted and undoubtedly th courso of the
Field club was never In better shape.
Born record scores shoud be mads this
year at the tournament. Already this year
a 73 has bean mad on ths Field club
course by Sam Reynods, ons of ths young
est players, and several scores of 78 and :
78 occur each week. W. J. Foye, holder of

and some of th amateur, with a littl
luck, may get away with good scores.
"That course Is speedier today than It
has over been sines I hav been with the
Field club," declared Clarke Saturday.
"Ths ball will go a long ways farther on
a drive, and also on aa approach shot to
day than It would at th opening of th
season. Th hot sua has baked ths ground
till a ball will roll along It Ilka a pool tabls

Des Moines, won the stat golf champion

ate Is Expevrted Bl Race of the '
Day Will Cover One Has
' - ' ' dred Miles.
The quick, noisy, ohug-chug of gasoline
engines, and the sharp plstol-llks reports
of motorcyole exhausts, will drown out
very other sound when the greatest mo
torcycle race of the west opens Independ
ence day at the Omaha Soeedway. More
than fifty of the most famous motorcycle
riders In the country will be ready to start
their machines at th report of th gun
In the 100-mlle r.ioe to be conducted by th
Omaha Motorcvola'club on that day.
The race planned I a registered "V. A.
N." race and any record from on mile to
100 miles established on the course will
stand as world-wide motorcycle fast time
marks. And with the splendid mil dirt
track, baked hard as pottery by the sun,
there should, be many a record In danger.
Few races a long a 100 miles go to the
swiftest machines, 'but generally the win1-
ner is the careful, skillful driver. A twin-
cylinder motorcycle will wear out two back
tires in running 100 mile at top speed,
but a single cylinder machine, while not
quite so speedy, will not have to stop to
change tires. Prists have been supplied
for both twin and single cylinder winner,
but It 1 very probable that the winner
will be the rider of a slngl cylinder.,
For th same reasons, ths amateur rider
will have a good chance to win more than
the prizes for amateurs only. No amateur
will ride as fast as a professional motor
cycle expert, but in ' a 100-mile event the
speedy rider may come to grief.
Fast Time Expected.
Odds as to the time that will be made In
the Omaha race next Tuesday are varied.
In the ten-mile preliminary event the time
will be a mile a minute or, better. In the
100-mile event, however. It will probably be
anywhere trom forty to fifty-five miles an
hour. ....''

NEW TORK. July l.-Slnce Andre Go
bert, the brilliant young Frenchman, won
! the covered court singles championship of
F.ngland there ha been a lot of gosnlp
j going the round abroad that it Is note-
worthy that neither th outdoor nor In
( door national Cities ar held by English
men. Those who are keen on the situation
hav It that there la more opportunity of
developing player on the continent. At any
rats It took Gob-st but five year to "ar-
1 rive" at th top notch. In 1906 he was as a
I novice and on a liberal mark In the handi
cap, and he Is only 21 year of age. A
still more striking Instance of rapid ad-
! vancement Is that -of W, Laurent, who
defeated Anthony F. Wilding, the world's
champion, In the open championship of
France. In the French national cham
pionship Gobest beat Laurents three sets
to one, and Is still a moot point which Is
the better player. In dealing with the
problem vof what England ought to do,
II. & Scrivener says: "France at the
present time can boast of two young play
ers whoa united ages amount to M, and a
bit who can hold helr own anywhere.
When shall w look upon their like In Eng
land? "Ther Is, of course, one very good rea
son why budding lawn ttnnls players blos
som tar Her on the continent than in Eng
land. In England we have our recognized
publlo school game. In which lawn tennis
is not Included; oh th continent lawn
tennis Is th recognised game for the
young and has practically no rival games
to compete against. While our boys si's
working away Industriously at cricket and
foot ball the young Frenchman or young
German Is devoting himself just a earn
estly to the cult of th master strokes of
lawn tennis. The natural result Is that on
the continent finished player ar turned
out while their contemporaries on the other
side of the channel ar only playing 'pat
ball' now and again when ther is nothing
slse to do.
"This Is ths ostensible reason why the
production of first class lawn tennis play
ers In England is a slow process. But it
is not ths only or the chief one. Iflt
were, I would be willing to accept It "as
Insurmountable, tor I am not of thoao who
advocate ths Introduction of lawn tennis
into our school a a rfval of cricket, 1
think that cricket Is an infinitely better
game for some boys, probably for most
boys, than lawn tennis. If the two games
were really and irretrievably antagonistic I
should give my vot for cricket, for rea
sons which I need not elaborate. . But
they are not And the real reason why we
have lagged behind at lawn tennis while
other nations have been advancing Is that,
having begun to play lawn tennis on grass
some forty years ago, we have steadily
persisted In regarding It mainly as a sum
mer came, playabl for choice on grass,
whereas the other nations have tumbled
to ths fact that it is a game for all the
year round and can be played tar more
scientifically and far better on hard courts,
whether under cover or In the open, and
whether in winter or in summer, than on
grass, unless the grass happen to be of
the billiard table like smoothness and
hardness which one meets with In about
one court In every twenty or thirty and
then only when th weather happens to
be fin.
"One of the curses of lawn tennis Is Its
designation, which we hav to employ in
order to distinguish It from its ancient and
venerable prototype. ' On the oontlnnent
they talk gaily about tennis unfettered by
tradition, and I dare swear that many of
their best players, though they nearly all
speak English remarkably well, have only
a vague Idea of what the word lawn meant.
"I am absolutely convinced that the
progress of our own rising players is ham
pered by ths fact that they have to adapt
their game to the exigencies of the more
or less untrue surface met with on the
average lawn, whereas the fine, free style
of the young continental players, such a
Gobert and Laurents of France and Rahe
and th brothers Klelnschroth of Germany,
has been acquired by continual practice on
wood, gravel, rubble or some similarly
hard and true surface. There are plenty of
boys in England Who could.develop the
same skill, without detriment to their
cricket, if th proper court were avail
able and If their early experiences of lawn
tennis were not confined to aa occasional
'knock-up' during th summer vacation on
some grass court or other, either on private
grounds or at a local club where it was
'odds on' that the ball would not bound
within a foot of where it ought to. Every
boy, moreover, does not go to a public
school, nor does very boy play cricket.
No. We hav got th raw material in
plenty for the production of the finished
article. It Is th plan wfah we laid down
for th manufacture of it which ia faulty
and insufficient.
"It is axiomatic that ths better ths court
ths better the tennis, or, to put It In an
other way, It la Impossible to learn to play
fast class tennis on a second-class court
The Idea that a man who has learned to
play on a bad court will play all the better
when he comes to play on a good one. Is
all wrong. Th learner on a bad court, not
knowing until tb last Instant what th bail
Is going to do,v dara not, in ths language
of golf, take a full swing. All he can do
is to poke and push at It and when he
happens on , good court he continues to
poks and push, because that Is the only
thing hs has learned to do. Th truenes
of the court does not help him th least,
and ' won't help him until by continually
practicing on it he begins to trust the ball
to behavs as ha expects it to behave and
to hit It Then and then only doea he
stand the chance of becoming a player.
All our best player are men who hav
learned the game and practice It on good
courts never. If they can help it on In
ferior ones.
"On of the canons of English lawn
tennis faith Is: There is nothing to come
up to perfect grass court". Granted. But
how often do you And a grass court that
Is perfect or even good? The average grass
court that ona meets with on club and
tournament grounds Is distinctly second
class. Another of our misguided beliefs 1
that directly May comes ws must hence
torth play on grass and gTass only, and
that -hard courts are only suitable for cold
weather. Tet on th continent and in ths
colonies they play on hard courts, not
always from necessity, but often from
choice, all the year round, and those who
hav played on hard oourt at places Ilk
Homburg, Dlnard, La Touquat and Lee
Avants know how thoroughly snjoyable
hard court play la vn In the warmest
weather. I am convinced that what Is
wanted In England more than anything to
Improve ths standard of English play Is
plenty of hard courts in addition to or
even in substitution for th inferior grass
courts on which nine-tenths of ths lawn
tennis community toll, and toll in vain."

Advnrate of Overlapping;
Crip for Strokes.
NEW YORK, July l.-Th recent an
nouncement that Harry Vfirdon ha
changed hi style of putting ha created
some Interest among those who take what
may be called scientific views of golf. For
many years Vardon's style was considered
the acme of elegance, and . Innumerable
players adopted him at their model. It
would seem, however, that grace In not
synonymous with accuracy. Beautiful a
Verden'a game was, and Is, It cannot b
denied that of late his work on th put
tin greens has not been In keeping with
the rest of his gam.
It 1 an open secret that he has lndulg-1
In a considerable amount of experimenting.
For a long time he used a putting cleek.
Then he devoted his attention to the alumi
num putter, but It did not Come up to hi
expectation, so he went back to his orig
inal love. Even since he came prominently
to ths front he has been a strong advocate
of th overlapping grip for all stroke, but
at Stoke and other place It wa observed
that he was holding hi putter In the old
fashioned way, that he was standing with
his heels close together, and that he was
hitting the ball with mors decision and
consequently with a great deal more suc
cess. In doing so he ha reverted th
practice of the average golfer, who over
laps his handa only when putting.
Will Vardon's admirer follow th ex
ample of their Idol? It is hoped not, for
much of the bad golf we see nowadays
is due largely to Injudicious Imitation. No
doubt Vardon la doing deadly . work on th
putting areens Jtist now all new broom
sweep clean but he may "go off" with
this method Just as he has done with other
styles. The experience of th Jersey ex
pert confirm ths oft-expressed dictum that
there Is no absolutely right system of
putting. Great diversity of method prevails
among the leading professionals. Jack
White, for Instance, is admitted to be on
of the best holsrs-out In this country.
His style is quite his own, and has no
doubt heen evolved after serious study and
strenuous practice. He grips his putter low
down and he has his right (foot behind th
ball.
Braid's Method Different.
On the other, hand. Braid' method Is
widely different. The champion stands
fairly erect, holds hisaputter near the top
ana strikes the ball with an easy pendu
lum movement. Occasionally he has his
off days, but in the main Braid Is a con
sistently good putter. J. L. Low, who
handles a wooden putter with wonderful
precision, also stands well above his ball.
He has most delicate fingers, snd the close
observer will learn much from hi dainty
manipulation of the club. Probably no
prominent amateur ha a mora ungainly
style than F. Darwin. Nature has gifted
him with long limbs, but it is due to some
peculiarity of vision that lie has to spread
his legs out like an athlete preparing to
do "the splits" before he can despatch the
ball to the hole. Inelegant as his method
Is, however, . Mr. Darwin has time and
again demonstrated that he is a dangerous
man when near ths pin.
Every day we see good results accom
plished by diverse methods, Th grip Is
not a matter of great moment, the shape
of the club is not of supreme Importance,
and the stance is largely a question of
comfort. In the art of putting every golfer
must work out his own salvation. Fine
putting consists of two thlnys Judging
distance and hitting the ball truly. In
some measure a good ey for distance Is a
gift, but with systematic practice the de
ficiencies of nature In this respect can be
Improved. The hitting must b laboriously
learned, but ther Is no mystery abou It.
It a bad ball Is hit properly on a per
fectly true green no power on earth will
cauae It to deviate from Its path. Hence
the Importance of starting the sphere on
the desired line. This can only be done by
taking the club head back in the exact
place that the ball Is meant to run In. If
the head Is thrown outwards, a pull will
be the result; If brought Inward, the ball
will be shoved off the ho!a The good
putter Is the true hitter, and that Is why
some men get down more long putts than
others.
In a short putt a very slight devlstion
from the straight line . doe not matter
much, but If six yard IJ to be covered
a ball with the same degree of divergence
will finish about a yard from ths pin. In
playing an approach putt th ball should
be hit with sufficient strength to make it
run about a foot past the pot We all have
at times our inspired moments, but effec
tlve putting 'can be learned If players go
the right way about it

Throwing- axten-rnnd
shot.
NEW TORK. July 1. Of the event on
th modern program only on bears a treve
ef the pre amateur days, and that Is put
ting the shot The toe board or cleat in
the front section of the circle Is Just ths
one rello of prehistoric times, and how It
survived the eliminating Intellect oN the
athletio legislators from generstlon to
generation Is a mystery. It Is often asked
how this cleat ever came Into ue, and from
time to time ther have been inquiries
about the Identity of th original Inventor.
That there never existed such a rnan I
probable and the cleat la but a custom of
the Caledonian shot putters.
In the olden time putting the light and
heavy shots and tossing the caber were
kindred contests on almost sll th Scottih
programs In America. Usually It was the
plan when th caber tossing waa over, or
fven before It was disposed of, to use the
caber to mark the front line for the shot
Putting, for In those early day ther wns
no circle to put from, only two lines or two
cabers seven feet six inches apart being
the run allowed. Th caber being good and
heavy and about eight Inches in diameter.
It made a splendid stop board for th com
petitor and he could fling himself against
It with all his force. Being of a 'circular
shape, he could slide his toe underneath It
and If he was Inclined to topple over the
front line It never failed to hold him back.
Consequently some wonderful records were
credited to some of the early Caledonian.
In the record books of thirty years ago or
thereabout the mark for putting the six;
teen-pound shot was given as fifty-two feet
ten inches, and It waa said that some of
th unofficial performances were much
longer.
Caber Used by Professionals.
With the advent of amateur competition
the caber In front was eschewed, but It
was modified and a small cleat about a
foot In length marked the front part of
the seven-foot run. It was often a straight
piece of wood, but as shot putting becam
more popular the cleat became longer, until
today It 1 governed by a well defined rule
and forms an Important part of th shot
putting paraphernalia. Only In America is
this cler.t tolerated,! and there was soma
funny gossip In the old world before the
Olympic games of 190S when It was re
ported that the weight man here wanted a
special rule to allow the una of the cleat
Tho Englishmen could not understand the
use of a big block of wood In front of
the putter at all, and the common under-
standing about It was that ths Americans
wanted a wn.ll built In fr mt during the
shot putting to keep U em from toppling
over. Ralph Rose, who won the contest
did not put within thre feet of his record.
There are a long string of similar lntances
showing that the cleat Is an artificial aid
to the shot putter.
- In 1888, when George R. Gray went to
England, he was two feet short of the
record he made In America, and the same
can be said about other trans-Atlantic
visitors. As a sort of argument -ta the
contrary it might be said that Morgan,
the Engllsh-lrlsh champion, put further
on ths other side of th water than he did
here, but the exirlanatlon was that he was '
long past his best when he' came to Amer
ica, and that not being used to the practice
of slashing himself against th cleat It
was more of a hindrance to him than a
help. .
There will be no cleat In th putting con
tests at Stockholm, and It Is understood
that when the standard rules and events
have been drafted for future Olympic
games mention of the cleat, except In an
exclusive way, will be omitted. Athletio
authorities in the old world are of the
strong opinion that It Is an artificial aid
and should not be tolerated. They say !,
that It la Just aa consistent to alloW a pole
or loop near the hammer throwing ring
which a man could grasp at were he In
danger of falling out of th circle, or
that a high Jumper should be allowed to
take off from a springboard arranged
underneath the turf to help him to rise
In the air. Th running broad Jump has
a sort of artificial aid in the take-off
board, and It is eaid that this too may be
subjected to a little alteration by the inter
national Olympic committee. '
