Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—The dirty look is to remain in tennis. Wil-

liam Tilden of the pompous white flannels wants it, afid whatever thisyoung man wants in tennis he generally gets. So prevalent has the dirty look become in tennis and so distressing its effects on the gentlemen at whom it was directed that the United States Lawn

ijll|

Williams Tennis Association attempted to legislate it cut of existence. ** Commendable progress in this direction was being made until Mr. Tilden, who was among those present at the recent executive meeting, arose in blazing indignation and withered tlxe debating officials with one devastating glower. Following which, the motion to purge the game of tennis of the dirty look was hastily tabled. Mr. Tilden was asked to believe that no personal affront had been intended and that the entire affair was nothing more than a humorous gesture. an a This means that Mr. Tilden, whoco consummate virtuosity as a dirty looker is unmatched by any native-born dirty looker, will be unhampered in his court activities next summer, and that whenever a well meaning but slightly astigmatized side-line official happens to call one wrong he must expect to pay the frightful penalty. And undoubtedly will, a a a OF course the dirty look is not the exclusive prerogative of Mr. Tilden. It is in fact more or less cf a common property and is rather generously used by the better bred racqueteers. Peculiarly, it supposedly represents a high form of sportsmanship. Made the recipient what he thinks an undeserved point, the player tunis his provoked eyes full upon the offending official, as if to say, “great heavens man. what ails you,” and then, assured by now of the gallery’s admiring attention, he proceeds to give the point back to his opponent by driving the ball over the grand stand, or taking a vicious bite out of it. This all is' very nice in its way. The element of equity is admittedly there, and custom apparently has stripped the procedure of what might otherwise be interpreted as mock heroics. The only criticism is that it makes a mug of the officials. Indeed, it comes close to publicly insulting them. st a a But, since the insult is delivered In the fair name of sportsmanship perhaps it doesn’t matter. I am beginning to believe that if the number of quaint evils fisted under the heading of sportsmanrsttp were laid end on end the grand total would excite the amazement of even the most inveterate end-on-endcr.

Quarter-Final Conflicts to Be Staged Tonight in City Net Meet

Would Lift Foul Hazard From Boxing Illinois Commission Strives to Give Ring Fans Better Protection. BY BERT M. DEMBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—The Illinois boxing commission has set about to add to the refinement of the profession of fighting by eliminating the “foul” hazard. The commission believes that a spectator, who pays to see a fight, does not receive his money's worth when a match is stopped, because cf a foul. V Rule Is Sought With this idea in mind, Paul Prehn. of the commission, seeks a rule which would make it difficult for a fighter to win or lose on a foul. Then, too, the belief was expressed that as long as fights are won or lost on fouls, the general refinement of the boxing profession will be delayed. However, Prehn is puzzled as to how to word his ruling. Uregs Rest Be Given “Many times.” Prehn said, “the public is cheated out of seeing a good fight by a hasty foul ruling. We think it is better for the referee to consult with the judges, who in turn shall consult with a doctor, before a ruling is made. "There are times when a fighter, if given a short rest, is perfectly competent to continue. One of the best things that can happen to the boxing profession would be the elimination of the foul. Os course if a man is deliberately fouled he is entitled to the fight, but those cases are few.”

Protest of Yank Men Unanswered; Skaters Depart

Eh United Press v ST. MORITZ, Switzerland, Feb. 16.—Tired of waiting for a reply to their protest against cancellation of the proposed award of the 10,000metres race to Irving Jaffee, the United States Olympic skating team left St. Moritz today. Only Wednesday night, it had been announced the team would stay here until the international committee answered the protest. Before the American skaters left, Gustavus T. Kirby, of the American Olympic committee, told newspaper men: “As far as we are concerned we consider Jaffee the Olympic champion. I can not say what our next step will be, but I understand the United States will file a protest with the International Olympic committee within a month, and will demand a final decision before the start of the Olympics at Amsterdam.” Bob-sleighing, hair-raising and spectacular sport, in which teams attain a speed of 70 miles an hour down the steep Alpine slopes and around breath-taking curves, was on the program for today.

Last of Fed Products By \FA Service NEW YORK, Feb. 16. When Johnny Tobin was released by the Boston Red Sox it marked the passing of the only purely Federal League product in the major leagues.

There's Enough Baseball Confusion Without All This Rule Revolution

Bit I nitrd Pvcn* BERKELEY, Cal.. Feb. 16.—The University of California baseball team and the Ambrose Taylors played a game Wednesday under Karl Zamloch's proposed revolutionary rules which allow the batter to choose whether he shall run to first or third. California won, 11 to 10. About half the batters ran to first and the other half to third. Jack Nenecheqq, varsity pitcher, knocked a home run over the fecen, but was called out. Under the Zaamloch rules when a runner is on base subsequent runners must follow the route lie took. When Nenechek came to bat Wyatt was on third, having chosen to run that way. Then Wyatt stole second and Nenechek forgot all about him and ambled down the first base line. When he touched the bag the umpire called him out. He should have run to third.

Title Scrap for Hudkins Hanging Fire Ace Signed to Meet Dundee; Must Defeat Baker Friday. ’ BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Sergt. Sammy Baker, a diminutive soldier boy from Mitchell field, squinteyed and lop-eared from punches encountered in a long career of fisticuffs, will essay a familiar role a Madison Square Garden* Friday Sammy will try to upset the plans oi two managers and a promoter, who have arranged one of the most promising grudge fights in recent months. The plans of these gentlemen call for Baker to be beaten by Ace Hudkins, Nebraska Wilqlcast. After which said Wildcat is to be matched with the world’s welterweight champion, Joe Dundee. v Max Waxman, Dundee's manager, and Art Hudkins, who handles his brother's business, all but came to blows at the Garden Wednesday. When Jess McMahon, Tex Rickard's matchmaker, pried them apart he marched them into his office and signed Joe to meet Ace on March 23. fifteen rounds, 147 pounds ringside, for the welterweight championship. But there was an “if” in the contract. The match is as good as made —IF Hudkins defeats Baker Friday. One trouble with Sergeant Sammy in the eyes of a good many boys bi his division, to say nothing of their managers, is that lie objects to being beaten. Baker has a way of spoiling everyone's plans and he may turn the trick again Friday.
