g THLETICS are not for the
youngsters alone. as is shown
by the number of veterans who
are more than 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
ber. 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 Glants,
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
ball games. Back in 1808 the fans
started on figuring how long Matty
would last, and five or six years ago
Plank was thought to be “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, severa! times show
ing all his old-time skiil, only to take
a slump 'ater on. But he is still a
player to be reckoned with even by
the best of the voungsters.
Johnny Ball, of England. began
golfing when the game was young.
Johnny is over 50 now, an age where
1t {s 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, the bike rider, has
bean 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 obscuriiy.
But Kramer still remains, and the
added years have not robbed him of
nis skill, his nerve or the pedalling
power of his legs.
Braves Release T
CHICAGO. July 18.~Two more of the
Boston Braves subs went into the dis
card, Outfielder Jimmy Murray :oin§ to
St. Paul of the American Association,
and Wilsen Collins, another gardener,
to Binghamton of the New York State
circuit on an o§tlonll agrsement.
Both p\n}'ers ave been with the team
since last fall and, while both are con
sidered promismg. Manager Stallings
believed that they needed more season
ing .botore being fitted for big league
work.
Lure of Davis Cup Brings “Old
1 :
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 voungsters, who
‘have be:n playing havoc with the
lold-tlmers during the past two or
‘three seasons, resent, and resent
strongly, the reappearance on the
ccurts this season of what they very
disrespectfully term the “old fellows.”
The heroes of bygone days have been
tempted out of semi-seclusion by the
lure of the Davis Cup, and the latest
brood {s getting scared.
“The ecup was brought over from
England last year by a team of young
men,” bragged one of the young rev
olution_ar!es to-day, “and it is only
tair. 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 tropny s
safe {n these shores, to allow the
‘has-beens' to get the glory that comes
from defending fit. ‘
“Some of these old chaps who have
gald in the past that they could not
spare the time necessary for a trip
abroad now suddenly find themselves
with plenty of leisure when they sce
that they have a chance of perform
ing before their own counirymen
right here in New York. An age limit
should be placed on candidates for
the Davis Cup team,
“Give Youngsters Chance.”
“It i 8 boyvs 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 voiced this com-,
plaint would not mention names, but
of course he was thinking of Fred B.
Alaxander, 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 vour innings all right,” for it is
hardly likely that the old masters of
the game will be able to come back
go 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 their stride once more they
would teach a few things to the boys.
As a team Alexander and Hackett
were almost perfect. Their game was
finished; they played into each oth
er's hands, and each secemed to know
instinctively just what the other was
going to do at any stage of the game.
By these meang they won the national
championships of 1907, 1908, 1809 and
1910, and caused followers of the
‘game to wonder what pair would ever
defeat them.
| Should 40 Be Limit?
The answer came in 1911, when Lit
‘Ue and Touchard won, Alexander
‘navlng gone off his game materially
through lack of practice. While
)Alexander has since then been keep
irg more or less in trim, he did noth
[mg 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 gutdoor 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 William 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,
l 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 opinfon so
that a return contest with Welsh will
be demanded.
Ritchie says he is sorrv if anyone
misconstrued his astonishment at the
referee’'s decislon as a ‘“beef,” and
says he is perfectly willing to let

Sir Thomas Lipten Believes the
Baboon Given by Sir Thomas
' '
Dewar Will Win Cup.
By Sir Thomas Lipton.
OSPORT, ENGLAND, July 18.—
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 expeet will
break at last the hoodoo that has de
feated my former cup challengers.
I am not & strong bellever in mas
cots,
The Erin in 1903 was full of them
I think I had 24 horseshoes, one of
these having heen made by Bob Fitz
simmons, the champion American
boxer, who was a blacksmith. In the
way of religious and other embleme,
I had everything one could possibly
think of, ;
1 had also tigers' whiskers sent me.
likewise a green hen which cama
from Pittsburg (I presume its feath
ers had been dyed), also pedigree
rabbite, pedigree black cats, lad:
birds, green frogs, baskets of babies’
cauls and chicken wishbones—some
of the latter mounted in gold and sii
ver—grasshoppers from Kansas with
legs like dromedaries, Irish terriera,
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 suggesting
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 [ had him on hoard
I should be sure to win. 1 also had a
young Jumbo pet elephant offered
me, and this I was reluctantly com
pelied to deciine for lack of space.
I do not think, taking things over
head, that there was anything want
ing or that 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 heodoo.
Still, I have never had a baboon be
fore, and the one which Bir Thomas
Dewar has brought me from Nairout,
East Africa, can, I understand, do
everything but talk, including shak
ing hands In the most aprroved fashi
iod,
Sir Thomas. when he sent it to me
hed 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. 1 am sure his conduc!
will be better if I give him a Sham
rock sailor's outfit of clothea.
80 Cents for Auto
. .
Ride of 244 Miles
The lowest price on record for carry
ing a passenger by motor car from New
York to Boston seems to have been es
tablished by a Paige “36" touring car.
The car carried four passengers and
covered the 244 miles from the Hot-l
Astor to the Touraine in Boston in ex
actly nine hours—at a cost of $3.20 for
oil and gasoline-—making the cost per
passenger only eighty cents.
