PERSONNEL OF l). S. NET TEAM ALMOSTCERTAIN Tilden, Johnston, Williams, Richards or Washburn Nearly Sure to Be Selected. FOREIGN SQUADS COMING U. S. Championships Take on International Aspect With Europeans Entered, lank Champ Willing BOSTON, July 18.—William T. Tilden, American tennis chinapion, today said he would be willing to play Gerald F. Patterson, British champion, for the world’s singles championship If he is able to win the American title again this year. ‘ Bv HENRY FARRELL. United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, July 13.—William T. Tilden. William Johnston, Dick Williams and either Vincent Richards or Watson Washburn 'will be selected for America’s Davis cup team, it has been learned from a reliable source. This means that four of the five will be delegated to prove that America is the champion tennis nation of the world in a match with either Australasia. France or Spain. Australasia and France are to play at Boston on Aug. 10, 11 and 12, and the winner of that match will meet Spain in Philadelphia on Aub. 17, 18 and 19. The American team, which holds the cup now, will meet the winner at Forest Hills in September. World Stars in National Presence of the Australasian, French and Spanish teams here will lend an international color to the national men’s championship that will make it virtually a world’s championship tournament. For political reasons the United States association will not permit the tournament to be regarded as a world's championship affair, however. The British championships at Wimbledon are regarded in Europe as the world's championship, but the American tournament, with Patterson and Anderson of the Australian team; Brugnon and Cochet of the French team, and Alonzo and DeGomar of the Spanish team, as well as all the American stars, will be more of a world's battle. - British Default Surprise. The default of the British team out of the tournament was a great surprise and it looked upon in some American circles as a retaliation for the refusal of the United States to send William Tilden to the British championships. The proposal of Gerald F. Patterson, winner of the British and European title, that a match be arranged with the winner of the American tournament for the world’s singles’ championship, will not be accepted by the United States Association, it has been learned.

By BILLY EVANS The work of one pitcher often keeps a major league team in the race. For years the twirling of Walter Jdhnson kept the fans of Washington from thinking the Nationals were in j some league other than the American, j Last season after the Chicago White j Sox had been shot to pieces because of j the baseball scandal Pitcher Faber | kept the hopes of the Sox supporters i burning by his remarkable pitching. In 1920 Jim Bagby of the Cleveland I club with thirty-one victories was the j sensation of the American League. Coupled with Stanley Coveleskie he i just about pitched Cleveland into a i pennant. For several years Burleigh Grimes has been the one best bet on the ] Brooklyn staff. He is always figured as the Dodger’s ace. Contrary to the experts, the big noise at Brooklyn this year is "Dutch” Ruether. In the spring dope Grimes was heavily figured on; Ruether reJERSEY OPPOSES BIG BOUT Attitude Against W'ilU-Dempsey Title Match Believed Political, However. Bp United Yet cs NEW YORK. July 18.—Notwithstanding any private assurances that Tex Rickard may have as to the attitude of the Jersey political powers toward the Dempsey-Wills fight, the’ Jersey boxing commission Monday came out against the bout. Commissioner McNair said he thought the champion and the negro challenger had better settle their argument elsewhere. The commissioner's statement may have been made for an immediate political purpose, however, as Rickard is in very close touch with the Jersey administration and his plans are to hold the fight in the Rickard bowl at Boyle’s place next summer.

Fistio Bouts Monday NEWARK. N. J. —Fred Fulton and Bob Roper went through twelve rounds with opinion divided on the winner. Fulton was dropped twice In the eighth. JERSEY ClTY—Johnny Shugrue, Jersey City lightweight, outpointed Ellno Flores, Philippine champion. In twelve rounds. NEW YORK—Babe Herman, California featherweight, knocked out Bill Henry, Chicago, In the twelfth round. BOSTON—Jack Dempsey will not be allowed to box in Massachusetts until some worthy opponent Is found for him, the State boxing commission announced in turning down the champion’s application for exhibitions. PARIS —Georges Carpentier and Frank Moran have been matched to fight In London In October, according to Moran’s manager. WINNIPEG.—Harry Wills, negro heavy-weight and challenger for the world's title, knocked out Jeff Clarke, negro, of Joplin, Mo., In the third round. KAMM MAKES IT STRONG WllLie Says He’ll Retire If Demand Is Not Met. SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.—Willie Kamm, San Francisco third baseman, today asserted he would retire from baseball If he doesn’t get part of the SIOO,OOO the White Sox paid for him.

“DUTCH" RUETHER.

ceived- little more than passing mention. Today Ruether is the sensation of the National League race. He won ten games out of his first twelve starts. While the rest of the Brooklyn staff was floundering around Ruether was pitching invincible balL How comes this great work on the part of Ruether? Ruether always has had much natural ability. With Chicago and Cincinnati he at times was almost unbeatable. In 1919 when the Reds won the pennant he went “great guns.” Having a care-free disposition, baseball was a mere amusement rather than a means of livelihood with Ruether. Nothing worrid him. If he won it was all right; also equally acceptable if he didn’t. This season Manager Robinson has won Ruether over to the thought that baseball is a serious proposition. Ruether is attending strictily to business. Any time he steps into the box i he wants to win. ft: ay Be Unofficial Verdict NEW YORK. July 18.—There may be an unofficial decision in the Ten-dler-Leonard lightweight title bout in Jersey City, July 27, for the purpose of deciding bets in case the two men go the full twelve rounds. However, the title hardly can pass to Tendler on such a decision if Leonard is on his feet at the finish. Tex Rickard, promoter, declined to have any connection with the unofficial commimssion, which probably will be made up of boxing critics, but Billy Gibson, manager of Leonard, said it would suit him.

July 13.—Realizing that It would only complicate matters If they should meet and defeat the Spanish Davis cup team in the semi-final round, the British team has defaulted to the Spaniards and withdrawn from this year’s competition as two of the members, Kingscote and Lycett, would be unable to go to America, anyway. The Britons were to have met the Spaniards while the French and Australasia teams wore meeting In the other half.

POLITICS BELIEVED BACK OF GRIFFITH'S OUTBURST

By United Press' NEW YORK, July 18.—Clarke Griffith’s blast against Commissioner Landis shows that party politics still has its influence in the American League. Instead of criticising the action taken by the commissioner in warning the New York Yanks and the Boston Red Sox clubs to cut out gambling on horse races, Griffith should have commended the big boss. Landis is attempting to divorce the diamond from the track. While there are several angles to consider, one feasible one is that Ban Johnson found his first opportunity to let a volley fly at ‘ the commissioner and used Griffith for his medium. Johnson never was in favor of the commissioner idea of running baseball, but he was blackjacked into it by the National League. What resentment he might bear against the usurpation of the power he once held might have been accentuated by the fact that Landis picked out two American League teams for his initial warning. It has been said that the commissioner should not confine his edict against playing the ponies to the players. He might give some of the club owners his attention. While he has never publicly warned the magnates about mixing in the raoing game, it has always been thought very significant that soon after he accepted his job as the director of baseball the New York Giants disposed of their interests in the Havana Hack. * ) While the citizens of St. Louis may be deprived of the honor of having a private world’s series in October, it begins to look more and more like the American end of the series will go down the river. While Urban Shocker, their ace pitcher, was laid up the Browns went out and landed the lead instead of slumping down the ladder. New York City, in alliance with the United States Lawn Tennis Association, is going to start tennis along big lines in the metropolitan district. Patterned after the San Francisco plan, which turned out some of the greatest American racquet stars. New York

thinks it can become the greatest tennis city in the world. • San Francisco had done other things besides turning out teqnis champions on its lots. The baseball diamond In Golden Gate Park has to its credit Harry Heilman, Dutch Reuther, Walter Mails, Louis Fouseca, Sam Bohne, Babe Pinelli, Jimmy Caveney, Bill Cunningham, Bert Cole, Willie Kamm and Carl Hollings. The Pacific Coast League, which is becoming the prize bag for ball players, is getting another crop ready for the auction block. Two highly touted players that are being trailed by a flock of scouts are Spencer Adams, second baseman of the Seattle Club and Gene Valla, San Francisco outfielder, who has beer, hitting over .350 in his first season. The eagerness with which Barney Dryfuss grabbed at the resignation of Gibson leads to the belief that Gibby was just one jump ahead of his boss. The New York boxing commission took an awful shock at Leo Flynn and some more of the big stable managers with a ruling that no manager could have more than one boxer on the card. Up until that time, the manager of a fighter working in the main go demanded it as his right that he could put one of his boys in every one of the preliminaries.
