Tennis Wizards Battle in Semi-Finals —Goff Title Play Starts at Inwood

EYES OF NET WORLD l ON WOODSTOCK COURTS Against Tilden andJohnson Against Alonso in Na4 ’ tiona 1 Tourney—Treat for Local Fans. i Semi-finals in the men’s singles and boys’ singles were on the " program today in the National clay court tournament, in progress at the Woodstock Club. Four stars of the tennis world are left in the fight for the United States hard court singles’ championship, the second highest tennis honor this country can bestow.

Alonso and Johnson were first on the schedule this afternoon. They were to meet at 2 p. m. on court No. 1. At 3:30 Tilden and Bon Kinsey were to hold the spotlight. The matches were expected to be rare treats for the tennis* fans. Alonso is generally conceded to be the best player in Europe, Tilden is the world’s champion, Wallace John- , son ranks No. 5 nationally and Bob Kinsey, No. 6. What more could any I one ask than a group of stars of such i magnitude? The eyes of the tennis world are on Indianapolis this weekend. Tilden, Alonso, Favorites In the semi-finals Tilden and Alonso naturally were the favorites, but it was believed the favorites would be forced to play their very best games today in order to fight it out in the title match. Local enthusiasts were pulling for Tom Wilson today in his match with Emmett Pare of Chicago in the boys’ section. If he won it meant he would go to the finals against the winner of the Strachan-Smjth- match. Strachan is the favonte. He won the event last year. The youngster is one of those under Tilden’s wing. The men’s doubles matches today offered some great possibilities. Hen-nessey-Wesbrook against the Texas team of Adoue-Barr looked like one of the best. Alonso-Johnson finish their match with Emerson-Merts and the winner was to meet Bastian-Burdick in another feature affair. Kinsey-Kinsey Pair The Kinsey-Kinsey combination. has not been seen as yet because of defaults was to perform in the . tourney for the first time against another California pair. Conrad-Bet-tens. The Kinseys are ranked second In the doubles standing of the United States. Kipp and McKay, the local veteran duo, were to take on Tilden I and Wiener in a late match. I In the Juniors Lott, last year’s I champ, was to play Kurzrock of this ►city .and another local star, Sagalowsky, was to tackle O’Connell, the Chicago star. Other interesting matches were carded. In Thursday’s play in the men’s singles the players doped to win came through rather easily with the ex- ; ception of Johnson, who was given a battle for every point by the sturdy ■ little scrapper from Detroit, Walter The former college flash went after everything and contested the way fiercely. Johnson, however, had that edge which experience and steadiness gives and won, 6-4, 6-3, 5-7, B-8. , Hennessey Loses Hah of the other quarter-finals were Hklded in straight sets without as Kiuch competition as was expected. Hennessey helped in his own defeat with many errors and Bob Kinsey took the match, 6-0, 6-1, 6-3. The local player could do nothing with Kinsey’s peculiar stroking and was very wild. The only time he braced was an the last set. Alonso did not have much difficulty with Howard Kinsey. The Spaniard played his usual*'brilliant game and swept the matches in a sparkling exhibition of speedy offensive play. ■ Tilden was in good form against ■Settens of San Francisco, and though fthe young star gave the champion a R-un for his money at the start, the ■best player in the land could not be ■stopped, and blazed his way through in straight sets, getting better as the ■coast player weakened.

Bull-Like Attack of FirpG Flattens Kansas Giant

By HENRY FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, July 13. —Down on one knee in his own corner, his red, battered sides heaving, his mouth gaping and his glassy eyes staring at nothing. Jess Willard, former heavyweight champion of the world, entered himself on the closed fistic books Thursday night at Jarsey City. Battered down by a furious righthand attack that had all the power of a mountain bowlder tumbling from the peaks, Willard was counted out In the eighth round while the hairychested Luis Firpo, the South American cave-man, stood back of him snorting for more. Willard took out of the ring with him about $150,000, a “tin” ear and a fine razzing. The crowd thought had quit ignominously. Some still think the same way. Record Crowd Present More than 100,000, the largest crowd that ever saw a boxing match, witnessed the giants of North and South America battle for the chance to meet Jack Dempsey for the world’s championship. The house was almost solid for a Willard victory. Thousands of Firpo’?

JACK AND FIRPO LABOR DAY, RICKARD ASSERTS

By United Press NEW YORK, July 13.—Tack and Luis Firpo will meet for the heavyweight championship Labor day, Tex Rickard promoter of last night’s record-breaking fight, said today. Rickard has not decided on the place for the bout, but he intimated he will stage the fight in the ring where Firpo knocked out Jesse Willard last night. Jack Kearns, manager of the cham-

K. C. NINE NEXT ON JULC. CARD Dismukes Pitches Locals to Victory Over Giants. Kansas City's colored nine will be here Sunday to open a series ■with the A. B. C.s at Washington Park. It will be a four-game affair and only one contest will be staked Sunday, starting at 3 o’clock. In the wind-up fray with the Chicago American Giants Thursday, the A. B. C.s braced and won, 7 to 1. The Giants annexed three out of the five games played, however. Manager Dismukes went to the A. B. C. mound Thursday and showed some of the younger hurlers how to do it. He was found for only five hits. Charleston was used in his old position in center field and he got three hits, one for the circuit.

Luis Just Won’t Be Clever By United Press NEW YORK, July 13.—Opinion does not agree on the"probable result of a Flrpo-Dempsey match. One thing was apparent in the Firpo-Willard bout in Jersey City Thursday night. Firpo never can be taught to be clever. All the teaching of Jimmy Forrest In the use of the left hand In blocking and boxing were lost when Firpo was angered. He went right back, in the heat of the battle, to a club-swinger and a rock-thrower. He led with his right hand and carried his left with him only because it was hung on him. "Why teach him to be clever? It would spoil him. He’s a natural fighter and a dangerous on," the sage, Jack Britton, former welterweight champion, summed it up.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

swarthy countrymen were packed in the dense mass, but their voices were lost in a tumult that arose in the fifth round when it seemed that Willard was to win. Like a college rooting section at a football game, the huge crowd rose to its feet and yelled in rah-rah tempo—“come on Jess, come on” when Willard cracked Firpo under the eye with a terrific left hand and knocked the South American staggering to the ropes. That one punch was the nearest Willard came to victory. His own age and the youth of a powerful young savage were all against him and he wijted until his legs sagged beneath hiip and he had not 4 the strength to continue even If his heart prompted him and his vanity spurred him to continue. Punch-Barrage Did It It was not one punch that sent Jhe huge Kansas in a collapse to his knees after on minute and forty-five seconds of the eighth round. It was a barrage of vicious right hands to the head and body. Failing to reach the altitude where Willard had two ponderous arms guarding his jaw, Firpo switched his tactics and started driving for the

pion, said he wanted a fight with Firpo on Labor day and wasn't particular where it was to be staged. Official figures on the attendance and the receipts o flast night’s fight may not be available before tonight, Rickard said. He was willing to estimate the crowd was more than 100,ODO and that the receipts would be at least $600,000. Willard's share of the purse will be around $160,000 and Firpo will draw around $120,000 for his end.

body. Little rolls of fat hung over the trunks of the former champion and Firpo made them "shimmy” with pile-driving blows. The South American was sighting his guns for the heart, and it was net until the eighth round that he succeeded In finding his target for a direct hit. One terrific right hand just under Willard's heart caused the former champion to “sa'g,” and in response to the frantic shouts of “go on, go on,” in English and Spanish from his corner, Firpo made good with a volley of right hands to the head and jaw that beat Willard to the floor. On one knee, Willard heard the count tolled over him. His corner was just a few feet away, and above the. din of the crowd could be heard the exhortations of Jack Skelly and Scotty Monteith, the Willard seconds —“get up, Jess, get up.” He Had Enough Willard shook his head and waved his right hand weakly In a feeble effort to silence the orders of those who wanted him to submit himself further to the fury of an enraged opponent who was foaming rage from his every pore.

TRIBESMEN FIND GOING HARD IN OLD BREW TOWN Indians Learn Hefty Milwaukee Crew Has More Than One Star Flinger, . By Times Special MILWAUKEE, July 13.—The Indians are beginning to fear they’re not going to oust Harry Clark's Brewers out of the fifth place position In the A. A. standing during the present series. They were confident of doing it after beating'the Milwaukee southpaw ace. Denny Gearln, Wednesday, but their hopes were punctured Thursday by Jim JJndsey, who took the Brewer mound and stood the Tribesmen on their collective heads, so to speak. W Alter Rehg was the only Hoosier capable of solving consistently what Jim dished out, but Walter couldn't do it all, and as a result the Hendricksmen took a beating, 4 to 1. Third battle of the series was on this Afternoon. The series is drawing, well for a week-day affair because both clubs are doing much better than earlier in the season. Lindsey, who turned the Indians back Thursday. Is proving a mainstay. It was hie fourth straight win.

The former champion listened to “ten” and seemed to snap out of a trance when the referee slapped him on the back and said, “It’s over. Get over there and let ’em fix you up.” Willard didn’t need much fixing up. He was not out of his head. His physical powers had failed him, and after a short rest he was able to walk out of his corner and shuffle through the crowd within earshot of many nasty remarks. Firpo was winning by a wide margin of points up to the time of the knockout. The South American had won the first, second, fourth, sixth and seventh rounds. Willard had taken the fifths and, 'by the exercise of a little consideration for the venerable Kansan, the third might be called even. Jess on Defensive Firpo started out with his characteristic rushing in the first round and he carried a swift attack for three rounds that kept Willard busy on the defensive.
