Johnny H°nn**sey, Indiana's greatest ; tennis player, is dashing bead first j toward the western court title with his speed throttle kicked to the boards and I anything that gets In hie way Is going i to get considerably mussed up Hennessey, who came through to the J semi-finals of the western tonrney by de(eating Lncian Williams, Yale University i court leader on the Woodstock grounds ; yesterday sftarnoou. still has the hardest part of bis job ahead of him. but he is ready for the test and stands ready to j surpass all his past works In that final 1 dash down the stretch. Other players remaining In the semi- . final round of the big tonrney are Clifford | Herd of Pasadena. C'a!., whom Hennes- | aey tackles tomorrow afternoon and Fritz j Ra-tian. Indianapolis, and Vincent Rich- . ards, Yonkers. N. Y.. who were scheduled ' to battle for a final round berth at 3:30 • this aft-rnoon. FACES MNR-T'P OF REAL NET STARS. This means that In order to gain the tennis laurels of the Western continent. Hennessey musr defeat three of the hardest opponents that he ever has crossed in tournament play—Herd, Richards and Walter T. Hayes. Hayes is the present Western title holder, and he meets the winner of this tourney In the challenge round Sunday afternoon. Richards is put on the schedule against Hennessey. be<-ause he was favored today to take care of Fritz Bastian, the other Indianapolis player in the- semi-finals. Os course, Baetlan has a fighting chance to defeat the Yonkers boy, which would be a point in favor of Hennessey, who has the number of the tali southpaw, f rit* has shown some remarkable tennis during the past few days of tourney play, and be was sure to make the going rough for Richards. Hennessey s most ardent supporters are feeling In their boots the fear of a terrible end for the youngster in his matches with Herd and Richards, but Johnny himself, and Charley Trask, bis chief adviser, are as care-fre as a couple of children Herd walloped Heunessey In the clay court show at Chicago recently, but this is not worrying the local young•ter one bit. in fact, it is only going to make things tougher for the California "Tennis Bambino” when they meet tomorrow afternoon NOT FEARFFL OF COART PLAYER. When Johnny first cast his hat in the Western ring he bad his eye on a match with Herd, and hs mind set on getting bis sweet revenge Trask and Hennessey have studied Herd all week, and they don't mind saying they have nothing to fear from his direction. After Herd probably will come Richards, and he is down for the same deal that Herd has coming to him. Johnny, if he passes Herd, will have that confidence In himself and spirit that makes athletes superhuman, and Richards surely will have a dtszr time of it when "our boy” starts driving them at him. If Hennessey ran perform this "Impossible’' trick of stopping the California and New York players, Walter Hayes will come In for an awful barrage when he faces the Indianapolis youngster In the fight for the cup Nobody will ever know how close Hennessey came to going out of the big tournament Tuesday afternoon. He came to the Woodstock suffering from stomach trouble and was forced to call on every ounce of grit In his constitution to carry him through hit match with Fred Appel. According to the score sheet, Johnny won easily, but the true story was of an entirely different color. He fought from the first point to the last on the verge of collapse, and had he been forced the least bit harder, he certainly would have had to quit the match. Johnny was put to bed and doctored carefully immediately after the match, and yesterday found him back In the harness again, ready to take on a cage of tigers, as he showed In his 6-3. 6-3 victory over his Yale opponent. Hennessey had Williams' play figured to a fine point, and he Jumped Into command early In the fight, staying there until the victory had been scored. FRITZ MASTER OYER BURDICK. Fritz Bastian won the right to meet Richards in the semi-finals today by stopping Ralph Burdick, 6-0, 6-4. Some good tennis was displayed here, but Bastian was master of the situation from the very start. Richards came through with a win over Kirk Reid, Cleveland star. The score was 6-0, (5-2. Reid put np a great fight over the entire route, and made his youthful opponent step along at a speedy clip for every point, but when It came to a show-down, Richards had the goods, and there was no getting away from him. Clifford Herd, Hennessey's semi-final round opponent, took the number of C. V. Seller, a Chicago player, 6-1. 6-3. Herd was not forced much In this contest, but he can't help but show his speed, no matter what sort of match he may be In. He Is always running open, trying to “kill” the ball every time he ■wallops It. The men got a fairly good start In the doubles play yesterday, and things should get going full speed in this department today. The women were alao carded for action this afternoon, and some hot matches were expected from them. Several good women players from out of the city are here for the play in their class, and the local stars are folrg to see a lot of real opposition. Inals In the men’s double* and women's singles win be played Sunday afternoon. Starting tomorrow afternoon, there will be a bus In service between the Woodstock Club and the end of the Nocthweatem car line, affording the fans free transportation to and from the grounds.

Judge Orders Speed Throttle Opened in Trial of Black Sox Court Gets Tired of Jury Delay and He Tries New Way L CHICAGO, July 14— Displaying all the speed and Judgment that characterized him In winning the distance running ckampionehlp In America and the Stockholm Olympic, Judge Hugo M. Friend Wednesday set a precedent—and pace—for Judical speed that will result in something, always assuming that the attorney for the State in defense in the ‘■Black Sox” trial cam stand the pace he With one and one half weeks gone and but four Jurors sworo in. Judge Friend decided on a precedent that amazed and entranced the Criminal Conrt building Wednesday. He had Edward A. Prindivllle. special prosecuting attorney, and Benedict J. Short, representing the defense. enumerate the main points of the case —from their respective viewpoints—to the third special venire of 100 men, together with some fifty left over from the second drawing, and about the same number enlisted from other divisions of the Criminal Courts. After the oratory had been finished four more Jurors were selected. STRANGE RIGHT 18 ENACTED. It was a strange sight the 200 odd men grouping themselves about the barriers to the Court proper, with the orating lawyers addressing them from a point direet'y in front of the bench. If the prospective Jurors absorbed the fundamental principles of prosecution and defense, and the attorneys did likewise, the examination of the veniremen for the filling of the eight vacant places in the Jury box should be brief. Attorney Prindlvllle. for the State, made the opening statement and drew the line very closely as to what the State intended to prove along the lines of conspiracy. "It Is not necessary to prove that these defendant ball p'ayers 'threw' ball games or received money for doing it.” said Mr Prindlvllle. "the State must prove, merely, that they entered Into an agreement to commit an unlawful act." Attorney PrlndlTille also Intimated they expected to prove those allegations by "accomplices.'' which afforded the attorneys of the defense considerable relief, as they only have Indicated they wanted Just that knowledge. ATTORNEY CHARGES TAINTED SOURCES. Attorney Short took np the gauntlet l In the share of the mysterious "accomplices” and told the veniremen "the Illinois supreme Coprt has said that the testimony of accomplices should be viewed with great car", caution and suspicion,” and the motives of the accomplices should be scrutnlzed as to whether it was "to protect oneself from punishment. or to sec-ire a reward.” In any . pvent, Attorney Short sd’ared the veniremen to believe that such testimony was from "tainted end polluted sources.” nnd he also advised complete abstention from reading newspaper accounts of the trial preliminaries ss calculated to Implant opinion in the minds of the unwary By reason of the extensive presents tion of the case by both such, many court attendants hoped that the necessity for opening arguments might be eliminated. Personal interviews with counsel. however, convinced one auditor that the hope was fallacious. Attorney Henry Berger of the defense earlier in the day made a motion asking that YY'illiam Burns, a,former ball player, and Joe Gedeon. former second baseman for the St. Lou*s Browns, witnesses for the State, be produced from their pl3ce of custody so that the defense may talk to thorn. This was the first intimation made in court that Burns and Gedeon were in custody of . fficers from the State's atforu-v >ffice. Berger argued that under the law a defendant is entitled to a li*t of witnesses ao that he may interview them and learn* what charges he has to face.

Jack Fought Clean Bout and Deserves Credit for It, War Veteran Asserts Sports Editor, the Times: After reading the article of July 7 ny Don Herold. published on the sport sheet of your paper, one would wonder what Mr Herold would have Dempsey do when defending the heavyweight championship title from the brilliant Mr. Cnrpeutier The spirit of Mr. Harold's article is (imply expressed in Just one small sentence Incorporated in his article —when he writes: “I wish Carpoutier had It," meaning the championship. Due would wonder if a few good old "iron men” did nt accompany the wish- that faded away with the decisive Dempsey victory Again. Mr Herold states as follows: I •‘For me, nnd doubtless for countless others, Dempsey wag not at the fight." Frcm nil reports, written by almost countless scribes with more or Iprs talent.
