Siiiiiiiiiioiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiimiiiiiiiiiiii a TIRRIN 7 the DOPE I By VEDDER GARD
” " JITH all due respect to \X/ smashing tactics in any line of sport, It has been i 'aown on many occasions that the clever performer can off-set the main strength of an opponent. This comes to mind because of the defeat of Gerald Patterson, the Australian tennis player, by Borotra, the Frenchman, in the Davis Cup prelims. If there ever was a court star who loved to hit the ball It is the big fellow from the “land down under.” He gets supreme joy in walloping a ball. His smashes are almost impossible to return. He actually flattens out a tennis ball when he puts those powerful shoulders Into it. The ball takes the form of an egg momentarily. Players who have met Patterson vouch for this. It Is no optical Illusion. Patterson laid Borotra cold with one of his over-head smashes in the Australia-France doubles match last week. The ball struck the French player on the temple and he went down for the count. Borotra, however, got even. He defeated Patterson in the singles. Great speed and skill won over smash. When power is combined with cleverness a champion is often the result. Smash alone rarely takes one to the top. Skill, without the k mighty kick, is more likely to " reach the heights—and has on numerous occasions. , • * 0-‘~ o : ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY : o Across the Board picked np a little change on Tries day when Broken Toy ■was second nnrl Silver Slippers woni $ 14.n0 was made on the two horses. The bank roll is now at *389. Today we will play a *lO place paray on SUPER FRANK In the fifth at Coney and BROOMSTER In the sixth. Ten dollars right across the board goea on ALICE LANG in the third, and the same play on CONTACT In the seventh. There’s plenty of action. * * * T' PLEASING feature of the ■Zk Grand Circuit races at the fairground on Tuesday was the way the thoroughbreds got away. There was no long delay on the starts. A. H. Pendleton sent them away In a hurry In almost every heat. The only holdup came In the first heat of the 2:18 trot. The small fields were partly responsible for the quick action so pleasing to the spectators. * * * A youth just entering college asked our advice. We told him that when he played poker to stay in the penny ante games. • • * f p'ITEADINESS counts more In I I mo ®f sport than brilliant l and flashy characteristics. E’jip greatest inftelders In baseball rtiave had the necessary amount of speed, but the attribute which made them famous has been ability to play accurately all chances. Many an In fielder has been known to look like a million on difficult chances only to boot or throw away the easy ones. Errors are a part of baseball, but the best seem able to concentrate on their game to such an extent that their execution becomes almost mechanically perfect. * * * The Ft. Haivison fight management got a chance to use those semaphores on the roads leading to the Army reservation Tuesday night. They told the sad news to autoists—NO FIGHTS TONIGHT. It was the first card postponed this summer. The weather man has been kind. The card will be held tonight. * * * ■"] ERE’S a tip for some wise X.. J baseball manager—a sure * way to win a pennnant: just get a. cast-off twMer from each club in the league and pitch them against their okl team mates as often as possible. A htnler sure does “bear down” aga'lnst his old club. He wants to show It what a mistake lias been made by letting him go. All this comes to mind because of Monday’s feat of Jim Edwards, Cleveland castoff, who his former mates with P four hits while on the mound for tile White Sox. It was the first game he has started for Colons’ crew. He has been used in the relief role in other contests. * * * Among the spectators at the Grand Circuit races Tuesday at the State fairground was A. L. Trester, secretary of the Indiana High School Athletic Association. He left rather early—probably prefers basketball. • * x Shorty Burch Is improving. He got through several long announcements at the fairground Tuesday without much stuttering. Yes, the cigar was also present. * * * We will refrain from saying, “tlie thud of the pigskin is heard once more in the land.” But there, we have said it, after all. • * * IUTOMOBILES are temperamental and race cars i___J of the same construction do not always run the same. Most of the “big league’’ race pilots admit that Benny Hill has the fastest “boat” of them all. But lately the little fellow has been having trouble with his car. He went oui early in the Altoona Labor Day event. The race is not always to the swift. • • • A cheerful note for the football Mayers: It may be too hot kfor the grid sport, but just w think how much harder the ground would be if it hadn’t rained. * • * Wish we could pick the runners like the Gahagan brothers dope out the harness horses. What they don’t know about the trotters and pacers isn’t known. N
YANKEE TENNIS HOPES AGAIN REST ON FORM SHOWN BY TILDEN
Net Officials Decide Bill Is the One to Halt Pair of French Aces. By Henry L. Farrell United Pres* Staff Corre*Dondent PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.—Upon the shoulders of Bill Tilden rest the hopes of the United States for a victory over France in the challenge round of the Davis cup matches, the “world’s series of tennis,” which starts Thursday at the Germahtown Cricket Club.

The popular feeling that it will be another run-away victory for the American four, Tilden, Johnston, Richards and Williams, is not ehared by officials of the tennis association and they really are concerned since Jean Borotra and Rene Lacoste, the two young French challengers, won the inter-zone finals from the strong Australian team. Many tennis followers here and in foreign countries believe the United States will retain the cup as long as Tilden Is in championship form. He always has been counted on for two victories In the singles matches and a third in the doubles when used as a partner. Tilden and Bill Johnston are expected to be nominated for the singles matches and Richards and Williams may be named for the doubles. The appointment for the singles was to be announced today, but the doubles pair does not have to be picked until Thursday and a change in the pairing can be made if It is thought necessary before the doubles match is played Friday.
WABASH STARTS WORK FOR HEAVY SCHEDULE Bu United Press C RAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 9.—Confronted by the hardest schedule arranged for a Wabash College football team since the days of the original “Little Giants,” Coach Robert VaughaD and his varsity squad this week opened another year of football activity on Ingalls Field.
The Scarlet mentor who has had charge of Wabash teams for the past five years this season faces his greatest problem with four Big Ten games featuring a nine-game schedule. The Scarlet season will open Sept. 26 when Hanover plays at Crawfordsville. The schedule Will close Nov. 21 with De Pauw here for the annual homecoming attraction. he preseht outlook for Wabash Is far from encouraging although the athletic department hopes some surprises so characteristic of Wabash dreams will develop. The scarcity of veteran players makes the task of building this year’s Little Giant eleven a difficult one and Coach Vaughan will be forced to fall back on sophomores who last year were members of the freshman squad. Prominent among t'ieee players are JJ a ury ? ÜB , h > former *tar a t Technical High School. Indianapolis: Hank Gordon, a teammate of Rush at Technical: MeCprkle. a big lineman from Muroy. Ind,: Cheyney. a product of the Central High School at Nvansville; Tiny Castle. 350pound guar 1 from Portland. Ind,; Crosby, Cathedral lilg i School star of IndianapujiV Marldey, back field performer from Michigan. Geraldou, a Wisconsin product, and MePoupall Johnson of Chicago and Suverkrup and McDaniels, former Crawfordsvillo players. Members of the 1924 varsity squad who are sure to see action this fall include Captain Sherman, Battle Creek, Mich.: Paynter, guard, of Indiananods; Webber, -Hard, of Benton Harbor. Mich.: Hobson, end. of St. Louis: Helm, quarter back, of Muneie: Parr half back, of Sheridan: Gib‘on. half back, of Kirklin; Cripc. half nnuk. of Lojran.sport: Robinson, rnd. of Anderson: Martin, tackle, of Chicago; Dubard. taokJe. Advance, and Robertson, half back. Cbicaaro. The return of Elliott of Sheridan to the Scarlet camp this season remains in doubt. He is now in California, where he has been spending the summer months. If he is lost to Wabash Coach Vaughan has a big job on his hands in finding a capable successor. McFarland, who was a member of the varsity squad three years ago, but who has been out of college since that time, has reported

FEATURE BATTLES AT FQRT No Changes in Card Postponed Until Tonight— Four Bouts Scheduled. The all-star boxing show which was to have been held at the Ft. Harrison arena Tuesday night, was postponed until tonight on account of rain. Hundreds of motorists started for the Army post last evening in spite of the heavy rain which was falling, only to be met by “No Fight” semaphores on all roads at the edge of the city. Lieutenant Porter announces there will be no change in the card and that the show will be given tonight intact. Wiggins, Risko, Ames. Dugan, Ross, Reynolds. Trimble and Stalmack are all ready and the one day’s postponement will make no difference. There are almost four thousand seats in the unreserved section.

Reynolds always has had a weakness against this grip, but seems to have developed more resistance against It during the last year, which may rob the soldier’s chief weapon of much of its effect. Johnny Carlin wants to redeem himself for his defeat by Reynolds last week and as a result is pointing himself toward his match with Leslie Flshbaugh on the same card.

Joe Dawson held the Indians to four hits, Yoter getting two of the number. The Tribe did not get a safety until the fifth stanza, when Yoter singled to left. Dawson received swell support from his mates and he merely breezed through to cop the day’s laurels. In the series of five games, the Indians won three and lost two^ Hippo Thompson was solved freely, but not until the late innings. The big boy tightened in the early innings when danger threatened, but later he weakened and the Colonels scored two runs In the sixth and three in the seventh. Anderson, Cotter and Betzel were heavy with the bat for the visitors. Anderson got four hits, three being doubles, and in his last trip to the plate in the eighth he met the ball on the nose, but Sicking snared it. Outfielder Wyatt, former Wabash College diamond captain, has been obtained by the Indians and he will join the team at Toledo.

Grand Circuit Card Today
FIELD OF TEN SET FOR JRACE Silver Flash Stake Attracts Wigglers—Other State Racing. Another good race program was scheduled in the Grand Circuit meeting at the State fairground this afternoon. Four events made up the card: Sliver Flash stake for 2:10 pacers, Lew Shank stake for 2-year-old trotters, 2:06 trot and 2:20 trot. The fields were bigger today. Ten starters were listed In the $5,000 Silver Flash event for the largest entry of the week. The race brought out a crack band of wigglers. Skeeter W was given the edge by the experts because of his fine race last week at Milwaukee where he won the SIO,OOO 2:10 pace. Ribbon Cane was expected to give plenty of contention. 2-Year-Old Event Nine youngsters were to compete In the 2-year-old affair, including Peter Maltby, great eastern colt. Nine also were to go In the 2:20 trot. Six were booked In the 2:06 trot. On Tuesday all of the events were decided In straight heats. An almost capacity crowd witnessed some exciting finishes In almost every heat. That great little pacer. Sir Roeh, proved the class of the field In the free-for-all pace. The first heat was made In 2:01%, when Sir Roch was forced to show his stuff in a stretch drive after trailing part of the way because of getting away last In the field of five. Sam In Front The feature of the day, the three-year-old trot, resulted in a victory for Sam Williams. It was something of a surprise as Aileen Guy was the choice. Sam Williams led all the way in the first heat while Aileen Guy was forced to come around on the outside in the stretch. It was thought the filly might reverse things in the second heat, but Sam Williams proved in a racing mood and came through the stretch at sizzling speed to nip Aileen at the wire. Cox handled the colt in faultless style. Murphy* accounted for a purse by winning with Crawford in the 2:18 trot. The first heat time was 2:04*4. Crawford was the favored one, but was forced to extend himself In each heat. Winnie O’Wynn was the chief contender In the first and third heats, while Captain Dudley forced the Issue in the second.
