11 TENNIS PLAYERS ON SQUAD ' ____ Four to Be Selected From Group for U. S. Davis Cup Team. Bu United Press NEW YORK, May 25.—Eleven American tennis stars were named today as a squad from which a team will be chosen to defend the Davis Cup. There is a possibility, the United States Lawn Tennis Association said in the announcement, that more players will be added to the squad if they distinguish themselves during the tournament season. Tilden Heads List The squad selected was: William T. Tilden, Philadelphia; William Johnston, San Francisco: Edward G. Chandler, Berkeley, Cal.; George Lott, Chicago: Louis White, Austin, Texas; A. H.

Y,; John Doeg, Santa Monica, Cal.; Cranston Holman, Stanford University, C'al.; Richard Norris Williams, Bryn Mawr, Pa. The players were asked to begin training at once and to compete in at least three important tournaments to give the selection committee a chance to look them over. The players also were instructed to report at the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, Monday, Aug. 15, for such trial matches as the committee thinks necessary. May Be Detained Four Players are to be selected as the regular team but it is likely that several of the younger players will be retained and sent to Philadelphia for the challenge round matches on Sept. 8, 9 and 10. Tilden and Hunter are expected to need very little training as they will not return from their strenuous European campaign until July 15. They will compete in important American tournaments after that. DIRT TRACK Speedy ‘Dust Eaters’ in Races at Fairground.

Major League Comment

Dressen of the Cincinnati Reds accomplished two-thirds of the season’s first triple play in a game with Pittsburgh. With the bases full, Dressen, who plays third, caught Waner’s liner, stepped on the base, forcing Harris, and then threw to Critz at second for the third out. Unluckily, the triple play, which came in the second inning, failed to stop the scoring rampage fcof the Pirates, who 'won, 11 to 1. A triple, two doubles and two singles bunched in the fifth by Brooklyn resulted in four runs and ultimate defeat of Philadelphia, 6 to 5. George Uhle, Cleveland mound star, lost his usual effectiveness in the fourth inning of Tuesday’s game. When the inning was over, the Detroit Tigers had put across four runs. The final score was, Tigers, 6; Cleveland, 3. Rain caused’postponement of other major league games. WALKER IN .Middleweight Champion to Meet Milligan on June 20.

Bostorr Boxer Outstanding Challenger for Crown, Ring Rulers Say. i i DEMPSEY TALK FADES i Officials Doubt Comeback of Former Champ. < By Henry L. Farrell United Press staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 25.—Jack Sharkey, Boston heavyweight, is favored by the New York Boxing Commission as the next challenger for the heavyweight championship of tl.e world, tout no intereference will le offered to a bout between Sharkey and Jack Dempsey. This much was learned today from James A. Farley, chairman of i the commission, who spoke with the.assurance that he would be supported by William Muldoon, senior member of the commission.

Best Challenger “It was not so much what Sharkey did in knocking out Jim Maloney, a high ranking contender, in five rounds as it was the way he did it that impressed me with the conviction that he is the outstanding challenger for Gene Tunney," Farley said. “Sharkey has done everything asked of him and I fail to find a reason why he should be forced i to meet Jack Dempsey or any other heavyweight before lie is accepted ao the first challenger. “He took on Harry Wills and beat him when every other heavyweight, including the champion, was, to put it at its fairest, not interested in 'offers. Then he fought Mike MeTigue and stopped him. It may be said that McTigue, is not a great fighter and that Sharkey should have beaten him more decisively, but McTigue is a hard man to fight. Not Side-Stepping Jack “The commission doesn't want to order any promoter to shunt Dempsey aside and make a match between Sharkey and Tunney. However, that is up to the fighters and the promoters. “If Rickard can match Dempsey and Sharkey that is his business and we will approve of the match because we feel it would be a good match. If Sharkey wants to fight Dempsey he can exercise his own judgment and his own will. "Personally I do not think that Dempsey is going to fight. This ; is not an official opinion. It is the j private personal opinion of a boxing fan. “I believe Dempsey, if he intended to fight again, would have made his plans more definite so as to give Rickard time to arrange his program. Rickard has a hall park which can he used at odd moments for boxing and he has to make his schedule fit in with the baseball schedule.” MEMORIAL UNVEILED Tin United Pit ss EVANSTON.

RASSIE BIRDIES By DICK MILLER

s—"l LST because the members of I I I the Indianapolis Women’s ULI Golf Association turned out to he a disgruntled organization in 1926. while footsore and weary after playing around the hard and then waterless Pleasant Run course, they chose to play their first 1927 tournament at Meridian Hills. However, the aid weather man decided he could malß golf courses just as soft as the women might want them, and that very thing happened. When thirty women who played a blind par tourney at Meridian Hills Tuesday, came in after the meet they said they found the course like walking on so many sponges. The turf flew 'in chunks, the gutta wouldn't roll. Water hazards everywhere, and the scores totaled up. uflil they looked like the women were shootting their weight in golf. This reporter saw the score sheet only after he swore he would not publish individual scores. We were able <o sit in at the distribution of several prizes that consisted mostly of articles to make the women forget all tVauit golf. We learned that Mrs. R. C. Stevenson and Miss Eleanor Taylor were the best shooters. However. Miss Taylor proved the best at drawing lots and secured the prize. Mrs. D. S. Menasco was low gross

Thejy any better Jr I DIDN’T know it, but Prince Albert Cool as a customs-inspector. Sweet ff

I DIDN’T know it, but Prince Albert was just the tobacco I had been looking for all the time. I hate to think of the time we lost getting together. But let that go. We’re all set now—me and the pipe and P.A. We’ve been pals from the very first puff. I had a hunch I was going to like P. A. the minute I got that breath of Nature’s noblest gift to pipe-smokers. What a treat! It made me think of a hike through the woods, when the trees and the vines are in full leaf. I found the taste "as advertised” by the aroma.

Fringe albert —no other tobacco is like it!

scorer. Five women, two with one stroke below blind par, and three one stroke above, all drew for the next five prizes. They were Mrs. Frank Carroll, Mrs. Albert Goldstein, Mrs. Cliff Wagoner, Mrs. E. Rogers and Mrs. C. Latham. Four women tied for eighth prize. They were Mrs. C. A. Jaqua, Mrs. C. C. Gibbs, Mrs. C. A. McCaskey and Mrs. Lep Nelson. Mrs. Gibbs added to her prize list collection, as she proved the better at lot drawing. The next tournament will he at Coffin, June 11-15. That will he the rlty tournament. Another tourney will be held Aug. 14 and 15, over the Broadmoor and Highland courses, , and another Is planned for Septeni- ! her. [ Just when every one was in out ; of the rain. Mrs. W. H. Barrere. Jr., j president of the organization, set the meeting jnto a turmoil with the announcement that she was tendering j her resignation. She named a few I clubs that were not represented i among the officers, but they also i were missing at the meeting. After a lot of tendering and just as much refusing, on the part of several chosen for the post. Mrs. C. A. Tucker, of Riverside, accepted to save the women from driving home in the dark. Mrs. Clifford Wagoner of Pleasant

Run holds her place as vice president, and Mrs. Gage Hoag of Highland. was delegated to fill the secre-tary-treasurer duties, vacated , by Mrs. Lee Nelson. Mrs. Barrere turned a deaf ear to the persistent requests that she retain her post. She gave as the reason for her resignation, ill health and a change of residence for the summer. Mrs. Tucker is popular with the women players and has experience at leading the organization. Plans for the season seem to be pretty well formulated by Mrs. Barrere, and we are sufe Mrs. Tucker will carry on to a success- : ful year. Other women who played Tuesday were: Mrs. Will Diddel, Mrs. Bernie Ijehman, Mrs. F. M. Rosenthal, Miss Marjorie Fisher, Miss Essie Diddel, Miss Dorothy Goodman, Mrs. Dick Nelson, Mrs. M. J. Abbott, Mrs. L. E. Hess, Mrs. E. Norrall, Mrs. G. O. Stewart, Mrs. Scott Legge, Mrs. R. W. Showalter, Mrs. I. Mazur, Mrs. C. A. Kelly and Mrs. Neal Mclntyre. The second round of matches In the Inter-Luncheon Club Golf League will be played at Avalon. Thursday! Secretary Ralph Elvln reports that Interest Is at high pitch due to the fact that Gyro and Service cluhs are tied for the lead, and Kiwanls <)ptimists, Ft. Harrison and Exchange follow in close order. Wally. Nelson is low scorer so far. Twelve teams form the league.

Cool as a customs-inspector. Sweet as the thought you have nothing to hide. Mild as a milk-shake, yet with that fullbodied flavor that satisfies your smoketaste right down to the ground. That’s Prince Albert, Fellows. They don’t come any better. No matter how set you appear to be on a smoke-program, try P.A. I give you my word, no other tobacco that ever came down the pike ever brought so much downright satisfaction out of a pipe. "That fellow knew his groceries.” you’ll say, or words to that effect.
