Both Miss Durack and Miss Bleib trey had expected to enter the 100-yard handicap, but were so exhausted by the first race that they withdrew. TROPHY DOXATIOXS URGED Sportsmen Suggest Promotion of Competition in Fleet. SAN FRANCISCO. Local sportsmen and naval admirers In civilian life are sponsors for a suggestion that western cities donate trophies to be competed for by men and ships of the Pacific fleet. Many vessels of the fleet bear names of western states and cities. It Is pro posed that citixens of these states and 'cities donate trophies for competition among men on ships bearing similar names and that plans be worked out to have trophies for fleet champion ships. Practically every battleship and cruiser, besides many destroyers, have baseball teams. There are also many football, tennis, track and other athletic teams In the fleet- XATIOXAL GOLFERS QUALIFY Players at Pittsburg Finish Round In Terrific Storm. PrTTSBCRa. Aug. Few favorites failed to score well enough today In the preliminary qualifying round of the National amateur golf champion ship at the Oakmont Country club to be Included In the list of those who will continue play Monday In the 86 hole medal play test for the 32 places In the first match play round. Louis Jacoby of Charlotte, N. C, re- BY HARRT B. SMITH. pjAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Aug. 16 '(Special.) New heavyweight pros k pects are springing up on every side. The shift in crown holders has made all the boys anxious to come to the front with a somebody worth while. A.number of potential challengers have been heavily touted around the country. The latest to announce that he is In the ring business Is Alec Greggains. Now, in the days of long ago. Alec developed Abe Attell, who. as every body Is willing to admit, was some featherweight. Greggains didn't stop with Abe. but brought others to the front. And the other day Alec came Into the office to whisper that he has still an other prospect a fellow he thinks will possibly be capable, eventually, of lut ing the crown from the head of one Jack Dempsey, and fitting it to his own curly locks. The newcomer is yclept George Ryan. He's a San Franciscan, born and raised. Irish, of course, and a big fellow. The new chap of wboro no one has heard anything up to the present time stands 6 feet 4 Inches and weighs close to 200 pounds. . George, at the present writing, has never had a match of any sort ama teur, professional or otherwise. He is said to be a nice young man who has plenty of coin and ambition to make a name for himself in the squared circle. Incidentally, be It said. Alec is perfectly willing to gratify that ambition. Greggalna undertook the develop ment of Ryan about two months back. All this time he has been schooling his find In the niceties of the fight game. Now Greggains Is willing to come from under cover. He says Ryan will be ready for a four-round fight within 30 days and that when he starts. San Franciscans had best be prepared for a surprise. Greggains Is no "boob" at the game of fistiana and admits that It takes years, instead of months, to develop a real heavyweight champion. At the same time, Aleo thinks he has such a fellow in tow. And the more power to him If he has. looked a weakling afraid, to be curt wun you. That's why I say Lavin looked some what yellow. And if that be the case, we are not going to hear very much more from the Butchertown terror. Just before Frankie Farren hooked up with Jimmy Duffyi a week back in Oakland we were going to say: "Goodbye, Frankie, you've been a good horse, but you done broke down." Everybody, including Frank Lawlor. who formerly managed Farren, thought it was all over but the shouting; that it was simply a case of when Duffy would knock out the San Franciscan. After which unanimous opinion, Far ren proceeded to cross us all up. He did look bad In that first round. Duffy clipped Frankie a hard one on the Jaw. Farren started to crumple, but thought better of it. He pulled himself to gether and by dint of desperate fight- ng, in which he had all the better of the fourth and iast round, he earned a draw. I'm not saying that Farren is as good as ever, for I doubt that. At the same time he is as game as a peb ble and entitled to credit on his performance. This bird Bill Goat Lavin doesn't look anywhere nearly aa good as he did at the start. After seeing him In two of his fights, the suspicion enters my mind that Bill may not be the gamest boy in the world. And If Billy Goat Lavin lacks a heart, he might as well say his fond farewell to pugilistic drea'ns. Faint-hearted chaps, particularly those who are in the heavyweight di vision, simply don't belong. When Lavin has his first fight, he won with such a rush that he took the fans off their feet. Then he waa sent back against Battling A Nelson. Nel son has always been a tough nut to crack and Lavtn's advisers told him to take it easy. He did, backing away at every move the burly Swede made In his general direction. Ring experts -ere Inclined tS charge that up to lack of experience in the arena. , But last week Lavin waa matched with Tom Devlne. who, on the very face of him. was a set-up. No advice came to Lavin. except that he was to sail in and win as fast as he could. The Goat did the contrary. He hot footed it around the ring for a matter cf a round, ami dodged and docked whenever Devlne made a pass at him. In the second round, ha took a coupln of swings on his own account. Devlne quit cold. Ha didn't want to be pun ished. But you can't say that Lavin ac quitted himself with any glory. U, Greggains. who took Jack Reaves to Reno, recently, when he knocked out a light heavyweight named Joe Welch. brli'gs news of the fighting game In tno bagebrush state. The rights are held In an arena at Jim Jeffries' old training quarters, Moana springs. The arena seats only 1200 people, but what the crowds lack in numbers they make up in enthusiasm. The promoters thereabouts have visions of holiday fitrhts, and if the attendance seems to warrant, they will stage their shows in the open at the baseball park. The city of Reno, seem ingly, does not care for 2a-round fights. But they can be held at Moana and there certainly are some old-time rec oliectlons for the crowds. Jim Griffin, so comes the word. Is figuring on getting back into the fight game: this time as a promoter. Jim. according to reports, plans to hook up with Louis Parents. Parents hasn't been able to make the coliseum rink a go. but perhaps with the aid of Grif fin, backed up with the latter's pres tige, it may make a different story. The fact that prohibition keeps the boys from hanging around the sa loons, as of old, makes it possible for another fight club to exist under pres ent conditions. Griffin also says he plans to get Into the hotel business, and he will doubt less be glad to use the fight world to back up his ne venture. I rather doubt whether anything comes, at least this week, of the presi dei tial mixup In the Coast league. Cal Ewing, who came back early in the week from Los Anseles, announced that he is not tied up in any way to the candidacy of any one man. but added that ho -an see no reason for any change. He also declared that he would not sign the call for a league meeting to disciss the question, al though he admitted that he would at tend if such a meeting should be held. Harry Willia (is, southern California newspaperman, Is still waging an ac tive campaign for the job, and it Is said he has the support of the two southern clubs. Bill McCarthy was supposed -to be the candidate of the San Francisco club and undoubtedly will receive their sup port. McCarthy, however, isn't going to allow his name to be used, unless he is dad certain of electios A new name was injected into the situation when friends of Supervisor Joseph Muivihill. of this city, started j. bocm in his favor Muivihill has been identified with sports for many ye.trs and Is a well-known member- of the Olympic ciub. He Is also chiefly Interested in baseball, and there Is a bare possibility that he might be con slderei a compromise, candidates - Army Chow. In the new parablo of feeding the multitude with five fishes, the quintet of fishes are whales. . Uncle Sam is going to fatten the high expense of living, which is a bigger Job than iron ing a giraffe's full .dress collar. Uncle Sam's method of slapping the profiteers is to toss army chow at the public in habit-forming quantities. The prohiboozionlsts solved the large cost of food and drink by eliminating the booze from the tournament. We're glad that there. aren't any prohifood inista. ' Living is -costly, but folks like to go on living Just for the fun of complainikig about it. Ten years ago you could grab a meal check for two smackers that was good for 20 meals. The check was good even If the meals weren't. Ten megs a nosebag. Now, if a guy lamped a meal check he would butter it and eat it. All the saloons had free lunch counters where you could grab all you could eat and some things you couldn't. That was before they turned the lumber yards into breakfast food factories. " ,A hokey who went shopping along the stage entrances to the Fifth-avenue mansions could pick up some swell garbage. Boats used to sail up New tork harbor with their decks stacked with food. All that is out. The prof iteers have stacked the deck. Where are the fat birds who used to play food golf every, meal? The old game of food golf consisted of eating nine holes along your belt. When you had let out nine new links in the waist harness the game was over. Since the food profiteers busted into the work those same fat cuckoos can use a nap kin ring, for a belt. Where is the old fashioned sapp who used to perch two feet away from the table and then eat himself right up to the old table? If he started two feet away these days, he would De a yar away when he quit. What's become of the old-time leaf tables with the extra extensions that mother kept under the . kitchen sink? When dinner time came around the old man used to dive under the Ink, where he felt right at home, and grab the ex tra leaves. They don't need extension tables for the food you get now. There ain t any chow. Only use for the din ner table at dinner is for the old man to park his brogans on. The army chow may solve the food problem, but 4,000,000,000 birds have had enough of it. One thing about an army grub line Is that there ain t any rush to get first. Everybody gets the same kind of beans. The K. P. looks at your draft number and then stakes yeu to that many beans. Then he slaps some coffee on your bread knife and tells you no to spill it. When there ain't any coffee the mess sergeant gives you tea, which Is better than the coffee, because it doean't make your spoon so rusty. HOYT IS VETERAN AT 20 Youngster -Has Had Remarkable Career on Diamond. BOSTON. Aar, 13. Wilts Hoyt, once the property of the Giants, who has been purchased by the Boston Red Sox from the New Orleans club, has had a rather remarkable career In baseball. for though he is now only 19 years oid Me has had four years experience In the professional ranks. Hoyt was la years old and the star pitcher of Eramus Hall high school in Brooklyn in 1915. when he was picked up by the Giants and since that time he has played in Memphis. Montreal Nashville and Newark, though the Giants always had a string on him. Last winter he was released to Rochester In part payment for Earl Smith, but refused to report. This spring, Arthur Irwin, despairing of getting any service out of the boy, traded him to New Orleans for Jimmy Nixon, an outfielder. Hoyt meantiwhile had gone to work in a Baltimore shipyard and, pitching for the yard team, hung up 18 consecu tive victories. - His performances at tracted the attention of the Boston club and when Hoyt shut out the Cin cinnati Reds a week ago the Red Sox l)iib.t bis release from New Orleans,: Advance Guard of Rail Birds Busy Speculating on Chances of Various Entries. SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. T Aug. 16. For its first running, at least, the 350,000 Latonia cnamoionehlp will be what racing folk will be apt to call an "eastern affair." That is to say, the horses that will figure most promi nently In the inaugural running of the Kentucky Jockey club's great race of one mile and three-quarters for 8-year-olds will bear the silks of sportsmen who, as a general thing, do most of their racing about New York, although some of them are westerners and 75 per cent of the horses that race under the silks of bona-fide res! lent eastern ers that claim American nativity at all are Kentucky bred. Newspaper writers are over fond of talking of the turf struggles between the east and the west in races like the Kentucky Latonia derbys and the 2- and 8-year-old spe cials which are annually decided up here on a track on which horses from all parts of the country and from Cana da meet each August for 26 or 27 days racing. As a matter of fact, it is most difficult to tell who Is east and who is west. The congress of experts from all parts of the United States gathered at Saratoga now, and there are more of them than Saratoga has been privileged to entertain since 1906 or 1907, are agreed on the proposition that about the only championship eligibles of out- and-out western ownership that may be considered to have chances are W. F. Poison's Vulcanite 4nd George J. Long's Clermont. And it Is the consensus of opinion, expert and otherwise, that the chances of these colts are rather re mote. Of the really formidable champion ship candidates, Dunboyne, the futurity winner of last season, Is the property of Burton I Cassells, a New York broker. although he races under the silks of Philip A Clark, another New York bro ker. Mad Hatter, which, if he starts, will bear the silks of Samuel C. Hil- dreth, is the property of Major August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey Club of New York and one of the foremost producers of thoroughbreds in the United States. Natural Bridge, an Im ported son of Bridge of Allan and Isette, belongs to W. R. Coe, another business habitue of the anathematized financial district of the new Babylon, but who has something of an alibi in that he is tbe owner of a ranch in Wyoming. Pastoral Swain, a splendid bay colt, which may. In the running of the first championship, revive the fame of the unbeaten Colin, belongs to the auction bridge expert, Joseph B. Elwell, who about the race tracks camouflages his identity under the so-called assumed name. Beach Stable. Ophelia is the property of Joseph E. Davis, a promi nent member of the powerful Democratic-Republican clan of Davis and Elktns, or ElkinB and Davis, of West Virginia. Mr. Davis does business in the Washington building which towers where Broadway sprouts from Battery park. Davis is a member of the Meadowbrook Hunt in addition to being a coal and iron baron. Balustrade be longs to Major Robert L. Gerry, the scion of a family, of Massachusetts democrats, one of whom, the first El- bridge Gerry, contributed that mouth filling and picturesque expression "gerrymander" to the Jargon of politics. Cirrus and Lord Brighton are the property of Samuel C. Hildreth. who long since foreswore his western af filiations and began to wear spats. Vancouver and Mormon, if they race in the Championship, will appear under the silks of Willis Sharpe Kilmer, of Binghamton and Middlesex county. Vir ginia, who is not unknown to fame in the west, his Kentucky bred gelding Exterminator having won the Kentucky Derby and the Latonia Cup of 1918. Rodgers and Gath race for George W Loft, former member of congress, candy king and Tammany politician of New York city. Translate, a handsome son of Transvaal and Eustis, for which Robert Walden of Maryland got $10,000 at Pimllco in May a few days after he had galloped a mile and a furlong in 1:53, is now the property of Howard Marshall, a young banker of Baltimore. It is difficult to place James W. Mc Clelland, under whose silks Eternal is pretty sure to start in the Champion ship. McClelland came from Lexington originally, but he has a flawless eastern record politically. He voted against the late (politically late) Charles E. Hughes for governor in New York in 1908 and he came all the way to New Tork from Maryland in November. 1916, to put a spike in the presidential aspirations of Mr. Hughes. McClelland races a stable n the east as well as a stable in the west. Also he recruits his stables an nually from Edward F. Simms' Xalapa farm which is situated near Paris. Kentucky. Perhaps McClelland should be divided as King Solomon offered to divide the baby of scriptural tradition. Richard E. Watkins, the man who developed the great distance runner of 14 seasons back. St. Bellane, winner of the Municipal Handicap and the Bel mont Park Autumn Weight for Age race, and who is now the owner of the formidable Ticklish, the best race horse, barring Spur.
