Who Won
P: The U. S. team, captained by Bobby Jones: the Walker Cup matches at St. George's, Sandwich, England, 10 points to 2, losing only one twosome and one foursome. The English have never won a Walker Cup series since the trophy was put in competition (1922). Dressed in a red and brown tweed knicker suit, the Prince of Wales watched the matches, chatted with the players, imitated with satirical intention the waddle of a flat-footed British galleryite, went down on hands and knees an front of the gallery to see the putting better, chewed gum.
P: Diana Fishwick, small, angular, 19-year-old British golfer: the British women's championship, beating Glenna Collett, who was putting badly, 4 up and 3 to go in the finals at Formby, England.
P: The Enterprise, one of the four yachts built to compete for the right to race with Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock V: a trial in Long Island Sound with the Resolute, cup defender in 1920, by 10 min., 30 sec. over a 22-mi. course. In a later race, with Harold Vanderbilt sailing her and the Vanitie as an added starter, she won again, this time by eight minutes.
P: The New York Giants: a game in Chicago with the Cubs, 14 to 12, in which 9 home runs were scored, 4 of them by the Cubs in the seventh inning, after the Giants had scored 6 times in the second and 7 in the third.
P: Tilden Bagley, onetime trainer of fighters : an argument with Gene Tunney, who last week paid him an unnamed amount to settle his claim for $300 for services to Tunney when the latter was young and poor.
(P: Gallant Fox: The Kentucky Derby at Louisville.
P: The Yale University crew, rowing a slow stroke smoothly, faultlessly: the Carnegie Cup Race at Princeton, with Cornell second and Princeton third.
P: The Navy crew, true to the tradition that Navy crews are good in rough water: a race on the Charles River at Cambridge, Mass., beating M. I. T. by half a length with Harvard third and Pennsylvania a bad fourth.
P: The U. S. Davis Cup team: their first international matches without losing a point, beating Canada 5 to 0 at Philadelphia.
