WOMEN’S IJOCBLES. —Final Round— Mrs. H. S. Adams (Indianapolis) and Miss Marion Leighton (Chicago) vs. Miss Ruth Wise (Cleveland and Miss Ruth Ling (Cleveland). Two more performances like that of yesterday afternoon and Johnny Hennessey will step to the net after three Interesting sets with Walter Hayes Sunday afternoon and compliment the veteran Chicago player on his nohle effort to defend his Western tennis championship laurels. This was the opinion of those In attendance at the Woodstock Country Club yesterday when Johnny bore and >wn heavy on Clifford Herd. Chicago-California star, and defeated him, *5-2. 6-3, 6-2, to go into the finals of the Western net classic. Hennessey handled a mighty task 1 beautifully yesterday wh -n he evened his score with the powerful Herd, but today h prepared for a harder struggle — one with Vincent Richards, national junior champion from Yonkers, in the final round of the tourney. The winner today meets Hayes, present champion. In the ! challenge round Sunday afternoon. HENNESSEY HAS FEARLESS ATTITUDE. Johnny today knew no fear for the clever voungster from New York. To the Indlanupoiis boy, Richards was simply j another obstacle In the path that led to ! greater honors, and he didn't see how a little thing like an obstacle could become [ a drawback in his chase for the coveted position of leader of the western tenuis world. Richards, however, ts no ordinary op- i ponent. He is one of the country's greatest players, a lad whose game has for years been a puzzle to the best of them, and he was n; to be pushed out of the running without first fighting a fight to test the skill of all the Johnny Hennesseys In the land. Richards, who has twice defeated Hayes, was confident that he could take the measure of the Indianapolis court artist, but his confidence line was nor • one bit classier than that carried by Hennessey. Johnny bad a great deal of national prestige to gain by a win over the Yonkers entry and he was eager for the fray. His easy wins In the earlier rous'ds of *he meet had given him a fighting sp.rit that carried championship punch, and he felt as sure of a victory as he did of his own name. Should Hennessey over'ome this ‘one more trick" advantage that Richards is credited with, then be should not have any too much trouble with Hayes tomorrow afternoon. HERD GOOD, BI T JOHNNY BETTER. Coming through a week of play, showing such tennis as to be voted by the faus as the life of the tournament, Hennessey yesterday took the court opposite Herd in what was expected to be one of the hottest scraps of all time, only to spoil the dope and win in a walk, eo to apeak. It was a wonderful match, but the play of Hennessey, for the most part, made it such, although Herd was playing his hardest, which Is pretty much, all the way. Those who saw the match yesterday are of the opinion that the pride of Hoosierdom’s game was as near to being unbeatable as possible. Last Sunday when Hennessey defeated Fritz Basdan In the Woodstock challenge round he looked 50 per cent better than In his best match last season, but his game yesterday was so far above that of last , Sunday that there was hardly a coin- ; parison. Nothing that Herd could shove across the net was too tough for the speeding Hennessey. He was on his toes from start to finish, banging away at everything within reach, and registering ' “gets" that made even Charley Trask, johnny’s teacher, pull at his collar. Herd also played some great tennis, and drew several rounds of applause from tna tans, but after the first set. when he was put on the shelf in something of a i'arry, the big fellow couid not seem to get the real drift of tnings. The Johnny Hennessey that he was playing on WoodStock court No. 1 was greatly changed from the Johnny Hennessey he thumped in the national clay court play at Chicago. and he was at a loss to account for this great change. Herd looked dangerous in the second set when he romped off with the first tnree games, but that's as far as he goi Johnny put on one of his basket-ball rallies at this point and swept past the visitor for the next s.x games. Johnny's backhand, which somebody had said was a little weak, was the tar get for Herd’s drives early In the match. But he soon tired of plugging away at the Impossible, and etarted crashing the ball in all directions. LOCAL GIRI. IFSETS DOPE. The biggest surprise that has been sprung in the tourney came from Miss Larina Fisher, former Shortridge High School player, who eliminated Miss Ruth King of Cleveland, 7-5, 6-4. It was one ct the best women's matches seen here for several years and the Indianapolis girl deserves credit for playing a clever game to beat one of the big favorites. Others matches In the women's division were run oft. according to the way the dopesters figured Nothing of much Importance happened , in the men's doubles yesterday, but some I exciting play was promised for this afternoon, with Hayes and Herd scheduled McKay and Richards and Henand Burdick matched with Bas- • and Williams in the semi-final \SjJes. Mr he western women's doubles argument will be decided with a match between Mrs, H. S. Adams and Marion Leighton and Misses Ruth Wise and Ruth Klug of Cleveland. , | Net Scores Yesterday j MEN’S SINGLES. —Semi-final Round— Johnny Hennessey (Indianapolis) defeated Clifton B.

BKBI CONFER OVER GIBBONS BOUT NEW YORK, July 16— Tex Rickard was expected to clinch the CarpentierGlboous match today. The champion promoter and Eddie Kane, manager of the St. Paul boxer were to meet this afternoon for a final conference. Rickard, It seems, Is not just sure when he wants to stage the match and where, and this uncertainty is holding up the signing of the articles. The original plan was to stage the contest on Labor day, but the Frenchman's hand may not be W'ell then. Columbus day is the next best date, but Rickard is a little bit sketptloal about the early October weather. Kane said today that he was not going to make any prohibitive demands for Gibbons and that, he was willing to make the match Just as soon as Rickard decided what he wanted. Bill Brennan, Harry Greb and others are putting in a bid now for the next crack at the Frenchman. Greb claims that he has beaten Gibbons In three or four towns, but his home papers from Pittsburgh do not back up his statements. Jack Kearns called on Rickard today, but after the conference he said there was nothing to report. The manager of the world’s champion said he was chiefly interested now in the pictures of the recent heavyweight championship bill that are being shown in New Jersey and that he Is not bothering the champion.

Because of his long experience In tournament play, Evans was regarded as the probable winner of today’s struggle. Knepper had played six days of hardfought golf in the lowa State meet just before the present tournament opened, and Evans accordingly was regarded as the fresher of the two. Evans came through a brilliant match with Harrison (Jim) Johnston of St. Paul in the semi-final, but Johnston fell down at the crucial stage of the game in which he stars. Short shots are Johnston’s specialty, Lut he missed three short putts on three successive greens and Evans won 5 to 4. Knepper defeated George Hartman In the other half of the semi-final.

Defense in Scandal Trial Tries to Have Confessions Killed i CHICAGO, July 16.—Motion to exclude j from the testimony of the “Black Sox” | trial, the alleged confessions of Eddie Cicotte, Joe Jackson and Claude Williams, will be made Monday by the defense. The men have repudiated the statements credited to them. Defense attorneys Sunday will Interview Bill Burns, former White Sox, and Joe Gedeon, 6tar witnesses for the prosecution. Burns is said to have turned State’s evidence in the case in which the former White Sox slars and alleged gamblers are charged with conspiracy to throw the 1919 world series. The jury which will decide the guilt or Innocence of the Sox players and other indicted was completed lale Friday. The final panel of four Jurors was sworn in amid cheering from spectators and veniremen of the kind which general- j ly greets a ninth-inning rally by the home team. More than two weeks had been taken up in selecting the twelve Jurors. Approximately COO persons were questioned. George E. Gorman, assistant State's attorney in charge of the prosecution. J will make the opening statement for the State Monday. A motion planned by the defense is for dismissal of the last two counts in the indictments. These indictments charge conspiracy to defraud Ray Schalk, White Sox catcher, out of about $1,700. the difference between the winner's and loser's share in the series money, and to injure and defraud the Chicago American League baseball club. The defense will contend that there is no law covering such charges. The jury is made up of two clerks, two machinists, a telephone repairman, a stationary engineer, the foreman of u motor company, a steel worker, a salesman a florist, a hydraulic press operator i and the foreman of a stock yards rendering plant. All but two are married and their ages range from 30 to 47. All said they understood baseball and occasionally saw major league gaums, but none ever has played semi-pro or “pro” baseball and none is a student of the game or of the “fan" type. When Rally Gets Under Way These Days It’s Long Way Before 3d Out Comes By SID MERCER. NEW YORK, July 16.—Your Uncle Wilbert Robinson hopped Into Yankee headquarters for a chat with his old friend. Col. Til Huston. There he encountered a flock of Interviewers. It wasn’t long until someone cornered him with the query, “What's the matter with baseball 7” “You can search me,” Robinson responded. “I didn't know there was anything wrong with baseball, but there's something wrong with THE baseball or ] else pitching has become a lost art. Have ] you noticed how many games run along to the fifth or sixth inning without a score and then suddenly the pitching i goes blooey? I can't understand It. If it's the lively ball, how do pitchers get b> in the early part of the game? A feature of ball games that has lmp- -ssed me more than anything else is the Inability of pitchers, good pitchers, to~. to hold fat leads in ih late stage*. “The other day Carl Mays blew an eight run lead over tin White Sox. Ordinarily you would bet a million to one that a 'earn like the Sox could net spot a pitcher Ilk” May* that many run*. Pitchers complain about the ball. Whatever Is to blame, we know that when a team starts hammering a pitcher it Is a long wsv to that third out. “Until this season managers seldom worried when a good pitcher got Into trouble as long as he held three or four runs In the bank Now it Is different.

HOOSIERS HOPE FOR GAIN OVER THE WEEK-END Hustling Indians Set Back Slightly in Series Opener at K. C. HOME RUNS DO IT KANSAS CITY, Mo.. July 16.—Having lost the opening game of the series with ; the long hitting K. C. Blues, the Indians . today were hopeful of starting a weekend drive that would regain the ground lost by the defeat at St. Paul Wednesday and here Friday. In today's scheduled skirmish Manager Hendricks planned to use Pug Cavet on the mound. He has had a good rest, for in his last start he retired early. Ralph Shinners still had a bruised arm today as a result of being hit twice by pitched balls yesterday and there was some doubt of the speed boy getting into the fray this afternoon. Two home-run clouts by Blue slugger* enabled the locals to nose out the Indians yesterday, 7 to 6. Rogge and Lambert hooked up on the mound and they were about even in effectiveness. However, the Blues managed to grab off the longer hits and that fact knocked off tho Hoosier*. Paskert and Scott were thaN boys to deliver the four-ply smacks. Scott got three singles In addition to his home run. Walter Rehg led the Indian attack with a triple and three singles. Rube Lutzke, former Indian, now with tho Blues, horned in with a triple in tho sixth that helped along what proved to be the winning rally for the Blues. Couldn’t Catch ’Em INDIANAPOLIS. AB. R. H. O.
