He ain’t got nothin' to do with the fight. He's just around, same as us,

Speclal Cable to The American,
~y ERLIN, Julv 18.—Prince Fred
erick Karl of Prussia, nephew
of ths Emperor and one of the
most popular athletes in the country,
has announced his intention of com
peting this yvear in the lawn tennls
championships of the various coun
tries
Under the pseudonym of “F. Karl,”
he playved last yvear, and then an
nounced his intention to come annu
ally, but because of his preparations
for the Olvmplc games, in which he
hopes to compete, it was thought he
would spend this' summer in Ger
mans
Under the coaching of Alvin Kranz
lein, Prince Karl, as he is called here,
is developing into a great runner. He
recently with the greatest ease won
the Kaiser's trophy for army officers
in the 4,000-meter cross-country run,
and he is one of the most enthusiastic
supporters of the ‘plan to induce the
German army officers to participate
| more fully in the sports of the coun
iry
# As-a tennls player he ies by no
means in the front rank. having been
beaten rather easily by a third-rate
player last year at Wimbledon; but
e practices constantly with the lead
ing German cracks. and Froitzheim is
of the opinion that he will develop
into player who w'll give the lead

' There's one the press agent didn’t

THLETICS are not for the
voungsters alone, as i{s shown
by the number of veterans who
are more thasn able to hold their own
in various lines of athletic work.
Hans Wagner, of the Pirates, and Nap
Lajoie have been playing baseball as
far back as many fans can remem
her. Some years ago the baseball
loving public figured that both play
ers were due to end their careers, but
they are still doing business at the
same old stands.
Christy Mathewson, of the Giants,
and Eddie Plank,of the Athletics, de
spite their long careers on the dia
mond, can still more than hold their
own when it comes to winning base
bali games. Back in 1908 the fans
started on flguring how long Matty
would last, and five or six years ago
Plank wag thought to he “done.”
Billy Larned, the many times hold
er of American tennis honors, is still
in the game. This vear he has played
in erratic form, severgl times show
ing all his old-time skiil. only to take
a slump later on. But he is still a
player to be reckoned with even by
the best of the youngsters.
Johnny Ball, of England, began
golfing when the game was young.
Johnny is over 30 now, an age where
1t ie said that a man's bones get stiff
and where his muscles go back on
him. But Johnny is.playing as good
a game of golf to-day as he did in his
youth.
Melvin Sheppard, the distance run
ner, has been in the public eve for
more than ten vears. And although
he long ago reached an age where
most men are forced to retire, the
speedy Sheppard is still circling the
cinder paths and bringing greater
glory to himself.
Frank Kramer, 1:9 bike rider, has
been racing for manv vears. He got
into: the game back in the nineties
—and he’s been In it ever since.
Others who were stars when Kramer
first entered the cycling ranks long
ago have started off into ohscuriiv.
But Kramer still remains, and the
added years have not robbed him of
'his skill, his nerve or the pedalling
power of his legs

Lure of Davis Cup Brings “Old
" '
Fellows” From Retirement.
Boys Are in Fear,
N age limit for lawn tennis play
ers is the latest suggestion of
some of the renowned cracks.
Needless to say, this novel idea has
emanated from the fertile brains of
some of our young bloods of the
game.
These impudent youngsters, who
have be=n playing havoc with the
old-timers during the past two or
three seasons, resent, and resent
strongly, the reappearance on the
ccurte this season of what they very
disrespectfully term the “old fellows.”
The heroes of bygone days have been
tampted out of semi-seclusign by the
lure of the Davis Cup, and the latest
bryod is getting scared.
“The cup was brought over from
Engla\nd last year by a team of young
men,” bragged one of the young rev
olutionaries to-day, “and it is only
fair that we should have the honor
of defending it.
“It {s all very well,” he went on to
say, “to fall back on the youngsters
when play for the cup means a long
journey to either Australia or Eng
land, and then, when the trophy is
safe in these shores, to allow the
‘has-beens’ to get the glory that comes
from defending it.
“Same of these old chaps who have
said in the past that they could notl
spare the time necessary for a trip
abroad now suddenly find themselves
with plenty of leisure when they see
that they have a chance of perform
ing before their own countrymen
right here in New York. An age limit
should be pilaced on candidates for
the Davis Cup team.
“Give Youngsters Chance.” ‘
“It is boys like McLoughlin and R.
N. Williams who have made the play- ‘
ers of the United States respected the
world over, so let the younger ele
ment have all the honor that goes
with a place in the Davis Cup team
this year.”
The player who volced this com
plaint would not mention names, but
of course he was thinking of Fred B.
Alexander, Malcolm D. Whitman, E.
P. Larned and several others who
have signified their intention of re
turning to the courts this summer.
We would say to these boys who
fear for their laurels, “Cheer up, you'll
get your innings all right” for it is
hardly likely that the old Mnasters of
the game will be able to come back
so far that they will be able to sup
plant McLoughlin, Willlams, W. M.
Johnston, G. F. Touchard, J. R. Stra
chan and the rest of the rising gener
ation.
- For our part we would welcome
Alexander back in the game. Alex
ander, who captured the National
doubles championship several years
‘with Harold H. Hackett, wants to
‘hitch up again with his former team
‘mate, If these two could only get
into thelr stride once more they
'would teach a few things to the bovs.
As a team Alexander and Hackett
were almost perfect. Their game was
finished; they played into each oth
er's hands. and each seemed to know
instinctively just what the other was
going to do at any stage of the game.
By these means they won the national
champlonships of 1907, 1908, 1909 and
1910, and caused followers of the
geme to wonder what pair would ever
defeat them.
Should 40 Be Limit?
The answer came in 1911, when Lit
tle and Touchard won, Alexander
having gone off his game materially
through lack of practice. While
Alexander has since then been keep
ing more or less in trim, he did noth
ing very serious until the indoor
championships this spring. Hackett
has been playing a great deal with
Little.*
Malcolm D. Whitman has been fit
ting himself for the outdoor season of
lawn tennis by playing racquets and
squash, at which games, by the way,
he could, it is said@ quickly attain
championship form were he to take
them a little more seriously.
After all, should a lawn tennis
player be oslerized at 40? Look at
the rattling game Willlam A. Larned
played right up to the time when he
was forced to step down on account
of rheumatism.

Defeated American Champion Will
Return to America to Mix With
Promising Lightweights.
ONDON, July 18.—Willie Ritchie,
I with his chum. Leonard Hicks,
proprietor of the Grant Hotel
Chicago, and Mrs. Hicks, left from
Paris for a trip through Germany.
The former lightweight champion
has booked passage home on the Vat
erland, sailing from Hamburg on July
23. He hopes to arrange matches
with half a dozen promising light
weights in America in the next nine
months and mold public opinion so
that a return contest with Welsh will
be demanded
Ritchie says he is sorrv if anyone
misconstrued his astonishment at the
referee's decision as a ‘“beef,” &and

pictures of the fight.

Sir Thomas Lipton Believes the
' '
Baboon Given by Sir Thomas
' '
Dewar Will Win Cup.
By Sir Thomas Lipton.
OSPORT, ENGLAND, July 18.—
G The strangest mascot that has
ever been seen in the world
will be aboard the Shamrock IV when
she competes this fall for America's
cup—a mascot that I fully expect will
break at last the hoodoo that has de
feated my former cup challengers.
I am not a strong believer in mas
cots,
The Erin in 1903 was full of them.
I think 1 had 24 horseshoes, one of
these having been made by Bob Fitz
simmons, the champion American
boxer, who was a blacksmith. In the
way of religious and other emblems,
I had everything one could possibly
think of.
I had also tigers’ whiskers sent me,
likewise a green hen which cams
from Pittsburg (I presume its feath
ers had been dyed), also pedigree
rabbits, pedigree black cats, lady
birds, green frogs, baskets of babies’
cauls and chicken wishbones—soma
of the latter mounted in gold and sil
ver—graashoppers from Kansas with
legs like dromedaries, Irish terriers,
and last, but not least, I had a mag
nificent American eagle sent me. In
fact, the Erin was like a traveling
menagerie.
One lady wrote to me sugglsting
that I should take her son on board
with me as a mascot. She said that
he was young and red-headed and
that he brought luck everywhere he
went, and that if I had him on board
I should bhe sure to win. T also had a
young Jumbo pet elephant offered
me, and this I was reluctantly com
pelled to decline for lack of space.
I do not think, taking things over
head, that there was anything want
ing or thats my friends missed any
thing that could be thought of as a
mascot, but, of course, the readers
know the result. They might let me
know which of the above-mentioned
collection was the hoodoo.
Still, I have never had a baboon be
fore, and the one which 'Sir Thomas
Dewar has brought me from Nairout,
East Africa, can, I understand, do
everything but talk, including shak
ing hands in the most apnroved fash
fon.
Sir Thomas, when he sent it to me,
had it dressed in kilts. He, being a
Highlander himself. thought the ba
boon ought to be dressed in its own
native costume, but I consider his
manners are not yet good enough for
this costume. I am sure his conduct
will be better if I give him a Sham
rock sallor's outfit of clothes.
