STARS OF TENNIS WORLD * START COMPETITION HERE Alonso’s Defeat of Tilden in Illinois Meet Adds Spice to Local Play—Great Matches Expected, The greatest tennis tournament this city ever had was to start this afternoon at 2 p. m. at the Woodstock Ciub courts when stars from many points were to clash in’the first round of the men's singles in the national clay court meet. The open tourney for juniors and boys does not begin until Tuesday afternoon after the youthful players have been entertained at a luncheon at the Woodstock Clut*

Additional interest has been aroused in the meet since the defeat of Bill Tilden, world’s champ, in the Illinois State tournament by Alonso, the Spanish flash. Start at 2 P. M. The first matches today at 2 p .m. on Courts 1 and 2 were to feature Tilden on the first cou’-t and Johnny Hennessey, the popular local expert, on the other. According to dope the eight best in the tourney are Tilden. Alonso.. Johnson, Robers Kinsey, Howard Kinsey, Hennessey, Wesbrook anl Reid. They are the honored players who have been seeded in the draw so that they will come together in the fatal rounds if dope runs true. Ralph Burdick of Indianapolis seemed to be carded for one of the hottest matches of the first round today when he was to clash with John Barr, the Texas player, at 4 p. m. Another warm encounter seemed certain in the Adoue-Emerson match at 3 p. m. Adoue is the Texas champ and his opponent is from Milwaukee. Stars to Perform Many other contests were of interest because of the prominence of the net performers, but the competition was not expected to be so gTeat unless some of the luminaries had an off day. , Most of the players arrived Sunday night and more showed up this morning. The Severin Hotel is downtown headquarters. Autos have been provided to transport the players to and from the courts.

Old-Timer Discusses Firpo

By JACK M 'AULIFFE, • Former Lightweight Champion. ALLENHUTtST, N. J., July 9. When I saw Luis Firpo topple over Jack Herman at Ebbets Field a year ago he was a crude, ungainly fellow, showing little promise of ever develo ping into a real fighter. He showed power and was willing, but that was all. Now that I've seen him again I am amazed at the improvement he has made. I never dreamed he could develop so rapidly. He knows every trick of the craft, seeming to absorb all the Yankee notions that the master, Jimmy DeForest, has been teaching him. Firpo not only has the great strength attributed to him, but he has a delivery like lightning. He delivers his wallops with greater speed than Willard. j t J

BLUE BATS TOO MUCH FOR TRIBE PITCHING STAFF Indians Hit Well Enough, but K, C, Boys Find Hoosier Hurlers Easy Pickings, By Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo.. July 9.—lt certainly was a blue Monday for the Indians. Four gomes played In Kansas City and three lost—and two more to go. After turning back the walloping Blues Saturday, the Indians saw their pitching staff blow higher than a kite in tjje double-header Sunday and -the K. C. boys grabbed both ends of the bill, 13 to 4 and 13 to 8. Couldn't Hold ’Em Bono and Fitzsimmons took a beating in the first fray Sunday and Petty and Hill' “got theirs” in the second fracas. As usual, the Tribesmen hit well enough, but their twlrlers couldn’t hold the opposition. It seems to be a case of the Tribe hurlers being cowed by the Kansas City bats. Even Jess Petty, the Hooslere' star southpaw, was sent to the showers. Weak pitching explains the slump of the Indians here. No matter how hard the Hendricksmen clouted the ball Sunday, the Blues cracked it harder. Want to Get Away Another game was on the card here this afternoon and Tuesday the series will be brought to a close. The Indians won't be disappointed when their visit to Kansas City ends. They want to get away from here. K. C. fans turned out 13,000 strong for the twin bill Sunday. If the Indians remained here mu6h longer the expensive new park of the Blues soon would be paid for.

FIRPO DEVELOPS BODV BLOWS FOR BOUT WITH JESS Luis Believes He Can Bring ‘Old Man' Down by Attack on Stomach, By PAUL MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. July 9.—Luis Flrpo is being turned into a body puncher In preparation for his fight with Jess Willard in Jersey City Thursday night. The South American giant is putting In hours of secret work, in addition to the training he does in public, it became known today, and during these hours Jimmy De Forest is teaching Firpo how to direct his attack on the body. In all of Flrpo’s previous fights he has shown just one blow—a crushing right to the Jaw. This blow has flattened all of his opponents. But Willard is much taller than Firpo. and as Luis will have to swing upward to reach Jess, De Forest realizes the I force of his punches may be lost. Considering Willard’s age, heavy body punching is also calculated to 1 weaken him quicker than anything else, and as a consequence Firpo Is expected to show a decidedly different attack against Jess. Willard is now down to 238 pounds. He is the picture of confidence and confidently expects to knock out j Firpo, despite the fact he is on the short end of the betting. He practically has completed his training and will do only the lightest kind of work between now and Thursday. Flrpo’s back, in which he suffered a "crick" due to a cold a couple of days ago, is once more in good shape. HOOSIER SPEEDWAY RACES Prizes Announced for Fifty-inile and Ten-mile Events Saturday. !

To Francis Ouimet, Jerome Travers and Chick Evans goes the honor of being the only amateurs to ever win the national title. Back In 1913 Francis Ouimet sprang a big sensation by ending in a tie with the two old masters of golf, England's best, Harry Vardon and Ted Ray. Seventy-two Decided It Ouimet sprang an even greater surprise by winning the playoff. He scored a 72 while the best Vardon could get was a 77 and Ray a 78. Ouimet was the first amateur to ever win the national open. He blazed the way for Travers and Evans. In 1914 Evans proved hp was a dangerous factor by finishing second to the winner. Walter Hagen, with a score of 291, Just one stroke away. Jerome Travers handed the professionals a decided upset in 1915 when his 297 won. being a stroke better than the brilliant Tom McNamara, When Record Was Made Chick Evans added further injury to the pros in 1916 when he finished ahead of Jock Hutchison, the runnerup. It was in 1916 that Evans set the record score of 286 for a national open. Bobby Jones was the strongest amateur contender in the national event last year. Jones with 289 tied with John Black for second place, Just one stroke behind Sarazen. the winner. Three years ago Jones finished eighth, the next year he finished fifth and last year was tied for second. Will some amateur star upset the dope this year? It's possible but not probable.
