Downey Guarantee —$'12,000. Promoter —Tex Rickard. By JACK VEIOCK. International News Sporting Editor. JERSEY CITY. Sept. s.—Johnny Willon and Bryan Downey were ready today to settle the much-mooted question of supremacy in the middleweight division. The Charlestown. Mass., holder of Tex Rickard’s diamond studded belt emblematic of the ICO pound championship, and his rugged Cleveland rival, were slated to come together in a 12-round bout In Riekard’s big fistic arena on 6oyle’s thirty acres, where Dempsey and Oirpentier staged their international! affair. Both were in fine physical trim and confident of a decisive victory and their preoattle predictions of a knockout within five rounds Indicated that each was determined to go after his rival hammer and tongs from the first bell. The articles called for 160 pounds at 10 o'clock and ringside appearance at -1 p. m. eastern daylight saving time. As New Jersey laws do not permit the referee to render a decision the dispute over who's who between Johnny and Bryan has to be settled via the knockout route if settled satisfactorily. Promoter Tex Rickard made it plain when he announced that Downey cannot claim the diamond belt unless he puts Wilson a’vay. Wilson was a slight favorite in th. betting. Johnny Buff, American fly-weight champion, was scheduled to defend his crown against ‘‘lndian” Russell, in one of the preliminaries. . Although the bout has not caused any surface indications of interest around New York, Tex Rickard said today he expected the ‘gate” would reach about $200,000. Rather strange, the semi-windup bout between Panama Joe Gans, the colored middleweight champion, and Mike McTigue has beeu attracting more attention than the main go. The program consisted of eight-round | preliminary bouts between Willie Speucer and Solly Epstein and Dick Griffin and Marty Herbert.

Bells Await Chance for High Honors in Games Here Saturday

*Hello Boys > Need Only One More Win to Climb in . Amateur Ranks. The Indiana Bell Telephone baseball club, after taking the first of a threegame series with the Acme team, Cleveland amateur champs. Saturday at Cleveland, are ready for the deciding contests which are scheduled for Saturday afternon at Washington Park. The local players returned from their victory with plenty of pep and they are counting on showing lots more of It next Saturday. Followers of the amateur game In Indianapolis are expected to turn out in strong numbers when the Cleveland outfit performs here Saturday. It will mean a great deal for the amateur sport in this city if the Bells take the series as they will then go to New York, where they will fight it out for the Class AA Amateur Federation championship of the country. * • Rex Dawson was in true form Saturday at Cleveland. He was touched for seven safeties, but kept them well scattered. Rex also got himself a single. That ninth inning was something to crow about. Here's how the Bells put over the victory: Card, second sucker, was second up. He spanked a neat single to left. Gaalema hit to the shortstop, but both runners were safe when the second baseman fumbled the throw. Gard went to third and Gaalema to second on the misplar. Wampler rolled one to short, who fielded the ball slowly. Gard dashed for home, beating the throw and crossing the plate with what proved to be the winning run. Schott was out, but Huckleberry singled to left. Catcher Brown then doubled the bases clean. Quite a rally. Knight, a southpaw, and rated as the ace of the losers, took up the burden in the second inning after Kleinhause had forced in two runs in this round. Schott's triple and Huckelberry'* single scored the other Bell run. Talk about big league stuff, local fol lowers of the Bells saw the game play by play on the electric score board on the third floor of the Bell Telephone building. There was plenty of noise when that ninth inning was chalked up. Cleveland's lead-oft man hit the first ball pitched for a line drive down the right foul line. Huckleberry raced over and grubbed the ball up against the stands with his gloved baud for a wonderful catch. Tipton and Gard handled many difficult chances on the infield for a number of nice stops and throws. The umpires handled the game in faultless style. Big leaguers uld have done no better. Krupi'zer, the Acme's first sacker. looks like a mighty sweet hitter. Fields, the manager and catcher, 1 as clever a receiver as one will see. Tt is reported that Connie Mack has strings on him.

DOUBLE HONORS TO HENNESSEY Local Tennis Star Retains State Singles Title and Wins in Doubles, Too. FT. WAYNE, ind., Sept. 5.--Johnny Hennessey of Indianapolis retained the Indiana singles championship here yesterday afternpon. when he defeated Fritz Bastian of the same place, 6 3, 6-3, 3-6,6-3, in the finals on the courts of the Ft. Wayne Country Club. After defending his title In the singles, Johnny stepped right out and, paired with Ralph Burdick, copped the State doubles championship by defeating Bestian and Lucian Williams. It was a big day for Hennessey. The clash for the singles honors was witnessed by a well-packed gallery. The two young tennis stars.displayed a bangup game at times, but close followers of this art claim that at times the contestants for the singles championship seemed to be “off.” However, they gave the fans plenty of action. Hennessey and Burdick took the doubles championship by 6 3,3 6, 6-3, 7 5 scores. It was one of the best exhibitions of doubles play ever staged here, aud the fans were strong on the applause when the players left the courts. Williams and Bastion elected to avoid Burdick whenever possib.e, playing Hennessey strong. Johnny was “there,” how ever, and snot them right back at the men across the net. Burdick broke into the play several times and smashed the ball over the net for sure points. The winners seemed to get their team work together better than ttie losing pair. Hennessey, in retaining the singles title, opened the first set with a burst of speed, often coming to the net for hard smashes to the corner. He kept Batsian on the go for the greater part of this set. He took the first game by lore route and gave Fritz but three points tn the next two games. In the fourth set the two stars seemed to uncork everything they had and their playing in this set was probably the best of the entire tourney. Four successive games went to deuce. Hennessey, by taking the singles title again, permanently won the William Alexander Fleet Memorial trophy, but when it was presented to him by Arthur F. Hall, chairman of the tenuis committee, Johnny returned the cup to Mr. Hail, saying that since the cup was in memory of Mr. Fleet, he chose to put it into permanent play, never to be won for all time by any one man. Hennessey and Bastian won the right to play for the singles honors when they defeated Burdick and McKay, respectively, Saturday. Bastian. after having a stiff time taking the first set by a 10-8 count, won the other two by scores of JS 0 and 6-2. Hennessey defeated his opponent Saturday by scores of 6-2, 6-1 and 6 2. Keystone Golf Champ PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5. Max Mar •ton of Philadelphia won the amateur golf championship of Pennsylvania Saturday by defeating Charles Reckner Cedar Brook, six up and four to play.

TWO CONTESTS CLOSE STAY OF COLONELS HERE League Leaders and Indians in Twin Card at Tribe Lot Today. WEEK-END GAMES LOST The Indians today had their backs to the wall in an effort to stave off a complete rout at the hands of tho leagueleading Louisville Colonels. Joe McCarthy's boys grabbed off two victorie* over the Tribe in the Saturday and Sunday struggles at Washington Park, winning the Saturday fray 6 to 5 and tlie Sunday contest 6 to 1. Therefore, it was up to the Indians to annex both ends of the double-header this afternoon if they were to get an even break on the senes. Rogg and Cullop hooked up in the Saturday fray aud both were bit for plenty of safeties, but even though the Hoosier3 out-jjit the visitors they could not come through with sufficient timely swats to grab the game. In the contest yesterday the Indians got only three hits, and though they made it a good game until the eighth, there was not much to it after that Inning. In that round the Colonels hopped on Weaver and counted five times, quickly putting the contest out of reach. Sanders was on the mound for the league leaders, and, though he was wild, he managed to prevent the Hendrleksmen from cracking the ball with men on base. Tomorrow Is an off-day for the Indians. On Wednesday they open a series at Columbus.
