INDIANAPOLIS NET FANS , PREDICT DAVIS CUP WIN
By EDDIE ASH It looks like another triumphant round of tennis for the United States in the Davis cup play. The Yankee team consists of Tilden, Johnston, Williams and Richards and net fans are willing to leave it up to that quartet of stars to battle it out with the invaders at Forest Hills, N. Y. Not much chance of America losing, was the opinion expressed in Indianapolis tennis circles Thursday when the line-up of the team was announced. Fans well remember the remarkanle playing of Tilden in the national clay court tournament at the Woodstock Country Club and they can’t figure better than an outside winning chance i for the challengers with the flashy j Tilden leading the Yankee entry. That Tilden is a good teacher of tennis as well as a championship player is seen in the appointment of young Vincent Richards on the American title team. Richards Is a protege of the Philadelphian and is only 19 years old. Tilden has not overlooked the development of young players during his many strenuous seasons on the . courts. He has the future of the game in mind and America need not worry over lack of talent in seasons to come. Down went the Indians again | Wednesday, the Millers winning the second of the series at Washington i Park, 4 to 2. The defeat cut the Tribesmen down to a tie for third place with the Cantillon crew in the league race. Pitcher McGraw was too much for the slumping Indians and they could not connect properly. Carmen Hill twirled good ball the seven innings he was on the Tribe mound, but his mates didn’t give him sufficient batting support. He struck out seven Millers in seven innings, but two of his four bases on balls developed into runs. Jourdan got a home run off Bartlett when Lee took up the Tribe pitching burden after Hill had retired for a pinch hitter who didn’t hit. The Indians displayed some of their old form in the seventh inning and scored twice on Brown's single, ’Yerkes’ triple and Schreiber’s out. It was not sufficient, however, and they could not do any further damage in the eighth and last stanzas. Cavet finished the game in the box for the home crew when the -illlers took a liking to Bartlett's offerings. It was Just another case of not hitting hard enough, only five hits being registered by the Hendricksmen. The Millers got seven, one a home run, and they also inserted two sacrifice flies. Fisher fielded well at second for the visitors. Another Boone is in the spotlight, the sport blaze, not the trail blaze. He is young Dan Boone from Chattanooga. and he twirled his first big league game Wednesday for Cleveland, beating Boston. Twenty-one for Bambino Ruth. He got it in the ninth at Detroit Wednesday. The playing of the New York Yankees on their western trip has knocke’d the dope bucket over. It was predicted they would crack, but they are doing better than at home. Pongo Cantillon says it will be nis ! Miller team that will overtake the leading Saints in the A. A. race. His pitching staff apparently has Just started to pitch and he is bolstering 1 all other departments. Wednesday Oswald Bluege, lnfielder from the SAYS BUNKO— After breakin' a few swimmin* records, this bird, Johnny Weismuller, always crawls outta the tank and takes a bath. We don’t know yet whether Carp was flghtin’ Dempsey or workin’ for Ih^ainviM.
are indebted to the officers of the club for their efforts in staging the meet. The event is one of the biggest tourneys held by the American Trapshooting Association and puts this city very much on the map among
Washington Senators, Joined the team. Cantillon seems to be over the league j player limit, but he denies it. Commissioner Landis regards the 1 scandal talk about the National League race being "fixed” for the Pirates as being wholly ridiculous and the result of gossip by hard losers in New York. It looks like the "sure thing’’ boys of Gotham are responsl-1 ble. They thought the Giants had the pennant cinched. It looks more and more like a btg ; season for the vets of baseball. Casey ! Stengel had nine putouts in center I field for the Giants Wednesday. Burleigh Grimeß, Dodger pitcher, got too surly with Manager Robin- j son and it cost him S2OO fine and indefinite suspension. Some of that; kind of treatment is necessary in the case of star players kicking over the traces. Yankee woman athletes in Paris are said to have rallied nobly when the champagne was served at a reception ' and each one risked one sip. The ! i time limit on the sips was not announced. Will Golf Be the National Sport? Sporting Editor, The Times: I think you are wrong when you say golf may supplant baseball as the national sport. I don't think it has a chance with a real game. It’s true a Kit of fans go to ball games who don't play but these are a lot of ball players in this country who really are ball players—and they don’t make their living at It either. It’s a real he-man’s game. Tennis lias to he considered before golf, too, I believe. I admit golf Is growing but I don’t believe it has a chance with baseball.

RECOGNIZED Vincent Richards of Yonkers, N. Y., famous as the “boy wonder” of the tennis court and holder of several titles, achieved the ambition of his career when he was named the fourth member of the American team to defend the Davis cup this year. Play starts Sept. 1. The announcement that Richards is to displace Watson M. Washburn of the 1921 defending team, came as a surprise, for Richards recently defaulted in the Seabright tournament because of a “strained tendon" and was believed to have only an outside chance to make the team. His selection was said to be due to the fact that he and William T. Tilden, the singles champion, are as nearly invincible when playing in doubles as any team that the committee might select. It had been thought, however, that Tilden would be reserved for singles play only. Now the followers of the sport assume that Tilden will play in the doubles matches as well. The other three members of the team are Tilden, William M. Johnston and Norris Williams. Williams, who was captain of the 1921 team, will be captain again this year.

NATIONAL RACE < POSHES EVERT TEAMTO UNIT Cardinals Snatch Lead From Giants and Hang on by One Point. Again the St. Loulb Cardinals lead the National League by the width of a splinter from a centipede’s wooden leg. The Cardinal's lost a ball game to the Braves in Boston, 6 to 0, Wednesday, which wasn’t so nice for the Cards. But then they won a second game, 6 to 5, which gave them a percentage of .588 at the end of the day’s chores. This was a decline of two points from the day before. The Giants lost another to the Reds at the Polo Grounds, 3 to 2, and dropped from .592 to .587, Just ono point behind the Cards. The loss of the game was a fierce misfortune'for the Giants, as Hugh McQuillan, their new pitcher, held the Reds to five hits while the Giants hammered out a dozen. Three errors by the Giants figured in the accident. The day’s work found the Cubs g back in third place, as they beat the Dodgers, 6 to 5, in Brooklyn. Thus the Cubs ousted the Pirates, who were idle in Philadelphia, owing to tile swampy condition of the trenches. In the American League the Browns beat the Senators, 8 to 7, in St. Louis and the Yankees resumed their scandalous winning streak after one day’s interruption. The Yanks beat the Tigers in Detroit, 8 to 3. The White Sox lost one to the Athletics in Chicago, 4 to 8, and the Indians won from the Red Sox in Cleveland, 7 to 3.
