“Big Bill” Tilden is IO I not the lnvincil:)le fi K ure on L the tennis courts that he haa been for many years. Tilden’s entry in the Metropolitan churnpionship was regarded a js a direct challenge to Vincent Richards. Bill had told friends that he would defeat “Vinnie” and demonstrate that he (Tilden) was the same Bill as of old. But Richards provdd Bill's master. After the champion's defeat in the iJidoor play many believed that Tilden was not in shape and would gradually round into condition for the national and Davis cup tournaments, lie has failed to come up to these expectations. At least, Bill had better hurry! There are some Frenchmen Just , aching for the opportunity to take that Davis cup home with thetp. The king of courts is tilting perilously on his throne and some of his able right-hand men seem to be slipping a bft along the monarch. R. Norris Williams, captain of the Davis cup team, was defeated on Monday in the Seabright tourney by an unranked collegian, Lionel Ogden of Leland Stanford. Things seem to be happening these fcrlays in tennis. New names are 'due to appear before many years tk the list of American net stars. • * • j—"SHILE BILL TILDEN is having his troubles, Helen Wills seems to be supreme among the women tennis players of this cour try. She demonstrated all her old-ttime skill at the Maidstone tourney when she defeated Miss Mary K. Browne in straight sets. It was the American champion's first real test since the Paris operation for appendicitis. \ Those who watched the match said it was as good tennis as Helen had ever *la.vcd. The California girl’s many friends are pleased, especially since Suzanne Lenglen's entrance into the professional ranks. This is likely to give Miss Wills No. 1 ranking among the women players of the w'orld. Kitty McKane Godfqge of England, at present seems to be Helen's chief rival. As the Englishwomen will play in the national women's championships at Long Island the two probably will decide their rival claims there. • • • r=-trZANNE LENGLEN’S IW I decision become a UJSJprofessional in tennis opens up a rather interesting phase of the net sport and brings up the old question about amateurs and pros. The query “what is an amateur?” never has been satisfactorily answered. No one ever hears about pro- , fpassionals in tennis although * there are a number of them. The pro in tennis has not the same status as in golf and no tourneys are held. Clubs hire tennis players to become instructors and in tills manner tlie court, performer's are rated as professionals. There Is a big field in golf for the pro, but in tennis, it is rather limited. In golf, pros and amateurs compete in open meet**, This has never been ißone in tennis. Maybe Suzanne will, start something. She usually can. * * • * S GLANCE at the baseball standings today will find a peculiar coincidence, Yankees, on top in the American League, and the Colonels, heading the A. A. procession, have the identical percentage of .657. New York, however, appears to be in, while luinvllle is far from that. Cleveland, in second place in the major league race, has a percentage of .573, while Milwaukee, in the association, is right on the heels of the leaders with .641. Many favor the Brewers in the A. A. race because of superior pitching. Not many clubs have ever been as fortunate as the “Near-Beers” in picking up two hurlers of the calibre of Jonnard and Roberston in mid-season. Owner Borrhet did not get any the worst of, the deal that sent Shulte to the Browns. Two pitchers, mentioned above, and ■ Shortstop Lamntte, with cash w thrown in—that's plenty.

With the Majors

Ehmke of the Philadelphia Athletics allowed the Detroit Tigers only three hits ip the first half of a double bill, winning fi-O. The Macks also won the second contest. 10-1. After winning eleven consecutive 5 antes, the New York Yankees went own, 2-1. before the Chicago White Ho*. Faber, veteran spitball pitcher, turned the trick. Bluege s homer in the ninth won Washington a 14-11 victory over St. Louis. The Griffs were outhit. sixteen to thirteen, by the. Browns, but turned five of their seven passes into runs. Rain stopped proceedings between Boston and Cleveland in the third, necessitating a double-header for today. The New Y’ork Giants walked away from the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-2, thanks to Tyson’s head. Tyson stopped a fast one from Keen with his thinkpiece. dropping like w atone. He recovered quickly, but completely unnerved Keen, who lost the game before being taken out. The Chicago Cubs finally got Into the first division again, by walloping the Brooklyn Robins. 5 to 4. ‘'Hack'' Wilson of Chicago hit his fifteenth homer in the sixth. The Phillies trimmed the world champion Pittsburgh Pirates. 8-3. slamming vigorously almost everything three Corsair curvers attempted to put across the plate.

SECOND ROUND OF QUALIFYING PLAY WILL CUT FIELD TO 32

DOUBLE HEADER CARDE.D One Game Today and Two on Wednesday at Tribe . Park —Matty Back. \ By Eddie Ash „ One game today and a doubjeheader. Wednesday will bring the Brfwer-Indian series to a close and Wednesday night the will depart for Colurpbus to open g round of .battles with the Senators Thurs- 1 day. Wednesday will be the last appearance of tfie Tribesmen on the home lot until Sept. 4. The Indians will perform in seyen cities before returning to Washington park. President Hickey of the A. A. today lifted the suspension of Outfielder Matthews and the midget fly chaser was to return to the Tribe line-up in the third struggle of the series with the Brewers this afternoon. Matiy was on the Ineligible list Sunday and Monday because of 4 an argument he had with Umpire Magerkurth Saturday, was suspended three days, but Hickey cut it to two. | Today's contest was to at the usual time. 3 o’clock, *but the Wednesday twin bill will get under way at 2 o'clock. Tribe Shut Out It’s useless to “sing the blues" about the losing ways of the Indians because no ball club In the world can expect to vitn regularly with a patched line-up in the field against stout opposition. The Tribe shut out in the seeond fracas with the second-place Brewers, Monday, 2to 0. Burwell, who plgyed the dutfleld Sunday, pitched for the Bushmen, Monday and turned in a neat Job, but his could not get anywhere off Jonnard and the brilliant support given the Brewer hurler. The vlsitots score<f their two buns in the first inning andythey got the breaks on one. ,After that Burwell blanked them. Milwaukee double plays killed dff the Indians In the first and second stanzas. The Brewers were on their toes and grabbed off numerous speeding grounders. Shulte*. dropped a fly ball for the oity error of the game. , BALL PARK GOSSIP Dutoh Henry/ who pitched for the Indians Sunday, played 'center field Monday and got two of the five hits off Jonnard. One of Dutch's blows was a double. He also tried to make the other bingle a double, but was nailed at second. He snared three fly balls.

Burwell, who got two hits as an outfielder Sunday, Tailed to get one. safe as a pitcher Monday. Strohm pceepted' twelve chances at second for the Brewers Monday. **■ 4 • With two out in the fourth, Strohm was struck by Lamotte’s batted ball and was out automatically. Lamotte got a hit on It. Griffin jstole second in the Sixth and Sicking touched him in time for an out, but Umpire/Derr called the runner safe. Claude Jonnard, Brewer hurler, batted three times and fanned on each ocasdon. Sicking, though bothered by an arlihig lame arm, played good ball around second for the Indians. Here's how the Brewers got their two runs: Richbourg singled and Shulte fanned. Griffin singled Richbourg to second and Brief hopped one through the infield to score Richbourg, Griffln taking third. On Strohm’s ' roller, Burwell threw to second to start a double play, but got only one man, Griffin scoring. Miller was late In covering and Sicking took the thitew to force Brief. Strohm died stealing. Shulte crashed a terrific liner Into YotVr’s glove In the elgth and Elmer was nearly turned around by the Jolt as he hung on. The contest was played In 1:17. It was a fast fray and the many women and children admitted free were well entertained, even if the home pastimers were on the short end. / Burwell would have defeated the Brewers, 2 to 1, if Ralph Miller had been on Miller's failure to coven second in time to receive a throw from Burwell in the first inning enabled the second Milwaukee run to score. In the second stanza Henry was on second with one out when Miller sent a long fly to center. Shulte misjudged the ball and dropped, it. The ball skidded out of his glove and rolled a few yards. Miller thought the ball Would be caught and loafed in running, when he easily could have reached second. As it was he camped on- first. Henry reached third. Instead of having second and third occupied the Indians had first and third. This situation sent the Brewer infield back deep and Ainsmfth’s hard smash to deep short was nailed on the first hop by Lamotte and a double play resulted on Miller and Ainsmith. If Miller had not loafed on his drive to Shulte he would have been on second, the Brewer Infield would have been in or halfway and 'Alnsmith's drive doubtless would have gone through for a single to score Henry and Miller. About fifty lads from the naval camp on White River were guests of the Tribe official*. They rooted lustily. * Manager Jack Lelivelt of MilWau. kee was the victim of a line drive during batting practice and his Jkw was broken. Goff was pitching, Shulte was hitting and Lelivelt wasback of the pitcher’s box. Shulte crashed one hard as his manager turned to go toward the outfield aiSd the ball struck Jack On the right side of the face. The injured pilot was rushed to the Methodist Hospital. The Brewers will miss his peppy coaching for a while. t

DEMPSEY RUMORS GALORE Many Stories in Air as Jack Heads for N. Y.—Kearns’ Contract Expires. By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Corresoondent NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—Doing his old-time stuff as a warrior on his way to battle instead of a cham,pion, ducking boxing commissioners, challengers, process servers and general annoyers, Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion of the world, was returning East today. Dempsey headed into New York announcing that he was going to look around some shopping places for a few days and then start for White Sulphur Springs, where he will begin training for the defense of his title against Gene Tunney, a contest scheduled, but not yet licensed, for Sept. 16 in the Yankee stadium. The champion had his usual line. “I'm ready to do the fighting. I'll leave the worrying to someone else,” he said. The “someone else,” In other cases, was Jack Kearns, his former manager, but In this instance he must have meant that Tex Rickard was the custodian of the well-known bag. j ) No License Rickard, it seems, has two big flghteijp signed for fancy prices, a date and a baseball park at his disposition, and no license. Rickard, it was understood today, is prepared to ask the boxing commission for permission to charge SSO each for ringside seats. The ruling of the commission now is that not more than $25 can be charged for admission to championship contests, but George Bhower, the legal commissioner of the board, said re cently it was only a ruling and could be changed by a. majority vote. f Another of the scores of reports heard today was that Rickard had effected a reconciliation between Dempsey and Jack Kearns and hAd headed off legal action by Kearns, whose with Dempsey expires today. Keam's Possibility Keafftis could prove that the rootrgcT I between Dempsey and Rk kai'd iVad been signed before today, hp ccJuld ask the courts for his cut °f the champlbn's purse. Dempsejf also was notified today that .Chicago promoters had applied for a junction in the Federal Court to restrain Dempsey fspni fighting “any one anywhere" until he had fought Wills In Chicago. If the motion is granted Dempsey would have to appear in Denver on Aug. 7. and if he had to 4fpear at that time the date for the fight here 'might to be postponed.
