Who Won
P: James Van Alen, 30, of New York: the U. S. court tennis championship, 2-6, 6-4, 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 in the final against the Defending Champion William C. Wrright of Philadelphia; with Jay Gould, long the best player in the world, watching; in Philadelphia.
P: Donald Horn, Northwestern University swimmer; a new world's record (2:29.8) for the 200-yd. breast stroke; in the intercollegiate meet at Yale's new Payne Whitney Gymnasium.
P: Walter Hagen, starting his 20th season as a ranking U. S. golf professional: the $2,500 Charleston open tournament, with 282, a stroke ahead of the home professional, Henry Picard, who finished with two rounds of 69; at Charleston, S. C.
P: George Herman ("Babe") Ruth: his annual argument with Colonel Jacob Ruppert, beer-brewing owner of the New York Yankees baseball team, about salary; by $2,000; in St. Petersburg, Fla. After absolutely refusing to pay Ruth more than $50,000 for one year ($25,000 less than last year), Colonel Ruppert, presumably in good humor at the passage of the beer bill, gave in last week, hurried north to | see to his brewery.
P: Maxie ("Slapsie") Rosenbloom, jaunty Manhattan pugilist who has traveled 73,000 mi. to 30 fights in the past year: the undisputed light heavyweight championship of the world, which most people had forgotten that he did not already hold; in a bout against Bob Godwin of Daytona Beach, Fla., who was designated champion by the National Boxing Association last month after a tournament which Rosenbloom did not deign to enter; by a technical knockout in the fourth round; in Manhattan.
