Tilden of Philadelphia Is now the holder of the British lawn tennis championship, having defeated today Gerald L. Patterson of Australia in the challenge round. Tilden's victory was the climax of the long series f Karnes against the world's greatest experts through which he had come during the ' past week. Throughout, his play has been consistent and bril liant and today he took the measure of the Australian by a combination of brilliant plays and clever strategy. He found his opponent's weakest points and after the first set. which Patterson won, directed his play against the Australian's weaknesses, capturing the next three sets and the match. V. S. Takes Doable. A fine exhibition of tennis was giv en In the doubles by Charles S. Gar land of Pittsburg and R. Norrls Wil liams of Boston, against A. F. Kings- eote and J. C. Parke, the British pair. Here also the Americans lost the first set. and thereafter took three straight sets and the match. The final day at Wimbledon proved to be the greatest of all days for the tennis representatives of the United States, for supremacy in both singles and double places the Americans at the top of the list for the whole world. Two other matches were played, the mixed doubles and women's doubles. In both of these Susanne Lenglen, the phenomenal French girl who already held the singles championship, fig ured as a winner with Gerald L. Patterson. She contested against Randolph Lycett of Australia and Miss Elizabeth Ryan of California, the former pair taking the match, 7-6. 6-0. American Woman Wins. In the women's doubles Mile. Len tlen and Miss Ryan beat Mrs. Lam bert Chambers and Mrs. Larcombe, the English pair. 6-4. 6-0. It is authoritatively stated that both championships, singles and dou bles, are likely to be defended in 1921; consequently the American vctories today are regarded as the best thing that could have happened so far as the British game is concerned. Tilden was troubled little today with his knee. It was somewhat swollen after the match, but it is con fidently expected that a few days' rest will leave him fit for the Davis cup contests at Eastbourne. SEAT SALES ALREADY $32,0 0 0 Bout Between While and Leonard Attracting Great Interest. BENTON HARBOR, Mich, July 3. Charlie White, Chicago lightweight, today finished training for his 10 round title contest with Benny Leo nard on Monday. Following a six mile run, the Chlcagoan finished the day with three spirited rounds in the ring and a round of bag punching and shadow boxing. White said he probably would enter the ring weigh ing: under 135 pounds. The challen ger said he was in the best condition of his career and was confident he would wrest the championship from the New Yorker. Leonard worked hard today, box ing two rounds with Teddy Murphy ar.d finishing with a three-round bout with Joe Benjamin, Pacific coast lightweight. He also did consider able shadow boxing and wrestling end covered five miles on the road. He expects to box two or three rounds tomorrow and also do some road work. Although a referee's decision Is ptrmitted in Michigan, none will be rendered Monday. White must either knock out Leonard or be the victim of a foul blow to win the title. Benton Harbor and St. Joseph be gan filling up rapidly tonight with thousands of visitors. The advance eale of seats has reached $32,000. There will be three preliminaries, the first to Btart at 3 o'clock, central standard time. White and Leonard probably will not enter the ring until 6 o'clock. Sports of All Sorts. FRANK TROEH.

Vancouver, B. C, is planning two race meets at the old Minoru course. It is more than six years since the horses have galloped around the course. The first meet will be held the week of July 31, and the second event opens August 30. . Al Sothron of the St. Louis Browns does not figure the new pitching rules will help any. Here is what he says: "After the ball is hit it leaves a mark, on tne cover, and this one bruise will enable pitchers to use this spot in throwing a ball that mys teriously comes up so the batters im agine it is floating to them. Pitchers like Cicotte, Eller and myself and others will be able to throw the so called sailers without rubbing the ball on our uniforms." The central California section of the Amateur Athletic Union has been asked by the New York headquarters to raise $20,000 towards the expenses of the American team to go to Ant werp Olympic games. It is expected that central California will have at least six men on the American team. On the 1912 American team only two men were on the team from this sec tion, Gerhardt, a sprinter and Ralph Rose, the shotputter. Gerhardt hai now retired and Rose . died some years ago. . m iA - jC " !- m 1 X t "' "X - ML. i tt'-x:., -'Jt. i f vj - - - J I i REDS BEAT CUBS RAIN CHAMPIONS NICK 3 PITCHERS FOR 8 HITS.

At a Joint meeting here of the Hoqulam Rod & Gun club, commer cial club, other civic bodies and members of Aberdeen organizations, a campaign was launched to have set aside the forests surrounding Lake Quinault, or a major portion of them, and a tract of land in Paradise valley, above the lake, as state and national parks. S. K. Bowes of Aberdeen, a Harbor pioneer, who originally mapped out the idea for the parks, said the plan approved at the meeting was the only way in which the scenic beauty of the lake could be preserved. E. A. Morck. also of Aberdeen, was strongly In favor of the project. A petition was ordered drawn up and after It has been passed on by the various organizations of the har bor the project plans will be brought up at the next session of the legisla ture and congress.

The association is anxious to have its crews measure strokes with the 'oarsmen of Port land, Seattle, Vancouver and Victoria, and It is anticipated that the 1921 championship will be a genuine coast struggle for supremacy instead of only California crews rowing, as In previous years. The semi-official challenge from the Hawaiian islands that the Hilo club wants to race the best crew on the Pacific coast has also prompted the association to act. A regatta at San Francisco on September 9 has been proposed and the winning crew and singles man to be sent to the islands. An invitation has been for warded to the Northwest Rowing as sociation in Portland in an endeavor to bring the two big rowing govern ing bodies of the coast together for future competition.

GARDNER DRAWS PLAUDITS OF ENGLISH GOLFERS AND PRESS Sincere Tribute Paid American Who Battled England's Best, Only to Succumb, in Feature Play, to Cyril Tolley. . c BY FRANCIS OUIMET. L ET me add my little say in token of esteem of Robert A. Gardner, Chicago's wonderful' and popu lar golfer, on account of his truly re markable performance In carrying Cyril Tolley, Britain's premier ama ' teur golfer, to an extra - hole match to decide the British amateur title. To me that which makes the play of Gardner remark able, although he did lose the 37th. or extra hole, and therby the British title, was P1 FRANCIS OUlMET.not so much that ie went so far or display ed such ibundant nerve while furnish 1 n g the golfing world witn such a keen match, bit that he was forced to play such olose and nerve-wrecking matches each day in order to reach the finals. I never recall any golfer having had such continuous fighting to do as had Bob in England. Usual ly a competitor who reaches the final has been fortunate in that he has been able to win a few of his matches with comparative ease, thereby al lowing himself to store his reserve power for the critical situation. Gardner's Matches Dlfficnlt. In Gardner's case there was never an occasion when he could relax. On the contrary, he was called upon, day after day, to wrestle victory in a struggle that was soul trying. To have met such conditions and to have come through to the last match stamps Gardner as one of the greatest competitors golf ever knew. What clinches this arjuraent was his display of courage against young Tolley. imagine yourseir playing In such a match where the stake was greater than, ever before and facing a situation where you were three down and four to play. Certainly this is not an enviable position for any one to face. And when your op ponent has proven himself as the best of all England the weight of that situation becomes triple-fold. Here was a task that few golfers would dare brave. - Last Hole Heartbreaking. But good, old Bob Gardner pos sessed that Irresistible courage that knows no defeat.. Fighting against such overwhelming odds, this splen did boy squared the match on 'the 36th green. It must have been heart breaking to have los that match on the extra hole, after such a magnifi cent display of courage and fine golf, especially when Gardner scored a par tnree on mat ratal 37th. But Bob- Gardner should feel as elated and as satisfied as everyone of his countrymen. One feels proud of being an American player when, one of them makes such a magnifl-, cent uphill battle out of an English championship and has the courage to fight magnificently up to the bitter end, playing golf all the while he was going down to defeat. That Gardner has scored heavily for American golf is evidenced by the tone of the English press. The Lon don Times went" so far in Its admira tion of Gardner as both golfer and sportsman as to state that in wanting Gardner to lose they realized it was exceedingly hateful to feel that way about it. v Tribute Paid American. That Gardner displayed remark able golf; that he was a fighter all the way to that last fateful 37th hole, is brought more clearly to mind when one recalls that he disposed of such excellent British golfers as the Hon. Michael Scott and Edward Blackwell on his way to the finals, -and that Harold Hilton, Ball and other cracks were forced to defeat. There was a field worthy of any player's best, and right well did Gardner match It stroke for stroke. So splendid was his play -that were I to pick an in ternational -amateur ranking today I would bracket Bob Gardner with Cyril Tolley at No. 1. j Cyril Tolley, whose birdie two on the 37th disposed of Gardner, cer tainly lived up to the many flattering things written about hisklll at golf. It is a pleasure to congratulate him on his victory. But there is even more pleasure and satisfaction in knowing that we have in America Bob Gardner, one capable of holding his own with the best the British Isles can produce. And because of the record of Bob Gardner, twice our amateur champion and also the first man to clear 13 feet in the pole vault which feat he accomplished the same year he won his amateur title let me express the sincere wish that this same Bob Gardner Is to be the next American to win the coveted British 'amateur championship. No player better deserves that honor. (Copyright, 1920. Sol Metzger.) COLLEGE CHAMPS PICKED GEORGETOWN HELD BEST TEAM TO PLAY IN EAST. 192 0 Baseball Season Marked by Number of Unexpected Re versals of Schools. The First Fifteen Georgetown. Holy Cross, Lafayette, Penn state. Navy, r mont. Yale, Princeton. Fordham. Dart mouth, Columbia. Lehigh, Pennsylvania, riarvardf Syracuse. NEW YORK, July 3. The college baseball season of 1920, which has now practically cqme to a close, has been marked by the keenest and most interesting struggles for the mythi cal championship of the east that have taken place in many a year, Almost from the opening of the cam paign the situation in the collegiate world has been a most complicated one. Teams that had been heralded far and wide as the foremost con tenders for the title were defeated by supposedly weak aggregations with apparently little difficulty and unexpected reverses have been the rule rather than the exception. In many respects the past season has been a most successful one. College baseball received its full share of the ever-increasing nopu larity of the game, and record crowds have turned out to witness many o the intercollegiate contests. The Holy Cross nine was undoubt edly the best among the eastern col leges last season and none could dis pute its claim to the title. The Wor cester collegians defeated most of the leading teams and won 21 out of its 22 contests, a most remarkable rec ord. Their only setback was sus tained at the hands of Fordham in an extra-inning game.. This year, however, neither Holy Cross nor any other team has a clean-cut right to the championship and the task of choosing the winner is a most diffi cult one. There are five colleges which stand out most prominently as claimants for the title, and these are Georgetown. Holy Cross, Lafayette, Penn State and the Navy. It Is the opinion that of these five contenders Georgetown has the best team, and that the other four should be rated In the above order. A. A. V. in Wyoming. CASPER, Wyo.. July 3. Authority has been granted by the national headquarters of the Amateur Athletic union for the organization of a Wyoming Athletic union, a local or ganization now iuncuomng. Claims for "world's records" are constantly being made for this event and that when there is "no such ani mal." The Federated Athletic unions of the world recognize only certain stipulated records and the shortest distance so recognized fVi either track or swimming is 100 yards or 100 meters. Any mark under these dis tances Is not recognized nor allowed as a world mark, but the A- A. U. of the United States allows such per formances as "meritorious perform ances" and they are not even sched uled as a "record." Konowaloffa Time Bettered. Lately at Seattle Mltrle Konowaloff awam 50 yards back stroke In 32 3-5 seconds and it was immediately claimed as a "world record" and com parison was made with Duke Kahana moku's old U. S. "meritorious per formance of 32 4-5 made at Sutro Baths. San Francisco, July 6. 1913. Mltrle undoubtedly felt considerable pleasure at being told he had made a world record, but he will feel equal chagrin and disappointment when he learns that his mark is only a "Paci fic Northwest A. A. U. meritorious performance." The present best meritorious per formance for this back stroke dis tance is 29 3-5 seconds made by War ren Kealoha at Honolulu on May 1, 1920. That is both the best perform ance for America and the world. The previous best performance was 30 seconds, made by Harry J. He'oner at Chicago March S, 1913. The present Pacific Coast meritorious performance was made June 8, 191S. at the Nep tune Beach tank, Alameda, by Harold Kruger and his time was 30 4-5 sec onds. These times just go to prove that a close study and tab on records must be kept before any claims should be made. Coaches Deserve Credit. The ever occurring claim for records is due entirely to ignorance n the first place of what events are allowed for records and in the second place, guess work. Another factor that makes claims for records is the fact that when a coach has a good swimmer it is natural that said coach wants to see his man "do something. Iti brings credit to the swimmer and places the coach before the public Coaches do not deliberately manufac ture records, but they have In their mind a time or performance that once was a record and they have not kept close enough tab on the situation to know that what used to be the record or meritorious performance has long ago been broken. When a swimmer or track man makes a meritorious performance or record the A. A. U. of the United States Is only too glad to acknowledge It and put It on the books provided the mark has been made under condi tions laid down by the rules govern ing records. The mark made at Se attle is the best record for that event In the Pacific Northwest and if proper record papers are drawn up and pre sented to T. Morris Dunn of Portland, secretary of the P. N. W. Association of the A. A. U. it will be credited as a new record for that section of the A. A. U.. but the mark is not eligible for recognition as a new U. S. or world mark. It Is not a record In the first place but simply a "meritorious performance" for the northwest.' MISS KERR WINS NET SCORE Oregon Golfers Make Low Cards in Del Monte Play. DEL MONTE. Cal.. July 3. R.

Lonar Distance Method of Swim ming; 1'artlcnlarly Adapted to the Iluffeting; Waves of Rough Water. BY RUTH STACKER. (This is the third of a series of lessons on swimming. ) T HE side stroke is one of the most popular of long-distance swim ming strokes and one of the most graceful. It is particularly adapted to rough-water swimming. In that the face is protected a good deal when buffet sr the'waves. The kick is similar to the kick used in the breast stroke or trudgeon, ex cepting for the fact that the body is on the side. The legs are drawn up toward the body like a frog, thrown out, stiffened and brought into posi tion with a snap, so that the body is absolutely horizontal. The first position of the kick should be to draw both legs up toward the body, the left leg above the rigfit, the knee toward the stomach, at the same time the right leg. knee bent as in walking position, should be thrown back. Throw both legs out straddle position, stiffen the knees and draw them together, bringing the body again on a perfect horizontal line. This is called the scissor kick. It is well to practice the kick at the edge of the tank and have it clearly in mind-before attempting to use the arm stroke. The arm stroke is simple. In the first position arms are placed at chest, .elbows bent. Throw the right arm up in line with the head and the left one toward the hip. Let the left arm rest In position at the hip. Pull the right arm on down through the water and bring both arms back into the first position. Stand, bending toward the side on which you intend to swim and practice this arm stroke on land before you enter the water. In putting the strokes together, stand with one foot on the bottom of the tank, push off and take your first stroke with the arms, and when the arms are in position for the second stroke draw the legs up in position to kick. Be sure to keep the arms under water. After the stroke has been mastered, the left arm may be drawn out of the water, making a faster and prettier stroke. The next lesson will be on the trudgeon.
