Bill Downs French Ace in Brilliant Five-Set Struggle. LOCAL FLASH TIRES Johnny Puts Up Courageous Battle. BY RALPH HEINZEN United Tress Staff Correspondent ROLAND GARROS STADIUM, Paris, July 27.—America and France finished all even at the end of today’s play in the challenge round of the Davis cup matches. The United States’ bid for world tennis supremacy increased today with the gallant performances of William T. Tilden and John Hennessey, America’s aces, who opened fire on the French stars. Tilden defeated Rene La Coste, 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-3, while Hennessey bowed to the brilliant Henri Cochet, after a courageous struggle. 5-7, 9-7, 6-3, 6-0. The American veteran fought one of the most gallant matches of his career. He started erratically and lost the first set. In the second and third he was at times the old Tilden and his younger opponent was unable to break through him. The fourth went against Tilden and then he came back to win the final set. The last set was nerve-wracking. It meant the end for one or the other of the two old enemies. ‘Big Bill,” with as Brilliant a show Df speed and accuracy as he ever had shown, went on to lead at 3-2 and 4-3. He fought courageously and successfully to carry on at 5-3, holding his service. He needed but one game to take the set and match and he made good—accomplished the supposedly impossible feat of a veteran coming back against a young man of high caliber. The gallery went wild with enthusiasm as LaCoste drove the ball out for the last point. The French rose from their seats, as did the Americans, to honor the victor. Hennessey began strongly and had Cochet puzzled with his fine game. The youthful American star, now No. 1 man on the United States team, squared the match at 5-5 and went out by a fine display 6f stroking, backed by intelligent playing. Hennessey was on the aggressive all the way in the third set, mixing his shots in a confusing manner. Cochet looked way off, but this seemed mostly due to Hennessey’s baffling change of pace. The Indianapolis man tired visibly ‘ in the third set and was easy prey for Cochet’s volleying game. In the fourth set the American was fighting gamely, but could not find his second wind and went down without winning a game. The third match is scheduled for Saturday—a doubles contest with Hennessey and George Lott’against Jean Borotra—and the last two matches will be played Sunday— Tilden against Cochet and Hennessey against La Coste. La Coste and Cochet are sharing the topmost position on the French team while Hennessey is the leader of the Americans.

The fact that Referee Forbes stopped the bout in the eleventh round with Heeney still on his feet has no effect on knockout bets, and betting commissioners on Wall Street today were paying off those who placed money on the champion to win that way.

Tex Estimates Loss at 5140,000

nil United Press NEW YORK, July 27.—Tex Rickard's loss on the TunneyHeeney fight was estimated by the promoter today at $140,000. “I won’t know for several days what the exact figures are,” Rickard said. Rickard attributed the financial failure of the bout to the radio and high federal tax. ‘‘This is the last big fight I will stage and permit the radio at the ring side unless they pay a handsome royalty,” he said. ‘‘My contract with the radio people expires soon and I will not renew it unless they are willing to pay high for the privilege.” The estimated figures follow: Gross gate receipts (first official check), $691,014 50. State (5 per cent), and federal (25 per cent), taxes $207,304.34. Net receipts $483,710.16. Tunneys guarantee, $525,000. Heeney’s guarantee. SIOO,OOO. Estimated attendance. 46.400.

Like the gambler that he is, Rickard took the loss calmly. The promoter contended all along that July Was no time to hold a championship bout, but selected the date at the Insistence of Tunney, who at the time wanted to fight in July and September. VALPO ATHLETIC DIRECTOR VALPARAISO, Ind., July 27. Coach Paul Lankenau of.Napoleon, Ohio, Thursday was appointed athletic director and instructor in physical education at Valparaiso University.

Eddie Pick of the visitors clouted the ball over the low fence in right center for a home run in the seeing inning and in the third the Brewers got a run on Wingard’s double, an out and Lebourveau’s single.

Clear Decks for Opening of Olympiad Track Events Start Sunday —IOO Meters Appears Cinch for Yanks. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor AMSTERDAM, July 27.—The ninth Olympiad begins Sunday with chief interest today centering in the drawings for the first day’s events. There was great Interest, particularly in the 100-meters event, in which each of the sixteen heats contains a champion or a record holder. Each of the known stars, with the exception of Porr’.tt, a veteran qualifier in 1924, faces little difficulty. Porritt will compete against such stars as Barrientos, the Cuban flash, and Helle, Finnish champion. Opposition Only Fair The Americans, Claude Bracey, Henry Russell and Bob McAllister, drew the last three heats, which means they will have less time to rest before the semi-finals, but the opposition is indifferent and there is little chance of the Americans losing, because two men will be selected in each heat. Frank Wykoff. young California schoolboy star, has a snap in the th* 1 heat, provided he recovers frob. the slight lameness that has affected his running the past few days. 87 in Dash Then are eighty-seven participants ii the 100-meter and two men will qualify from each of the sixteen h-’ats. There are sixty-one participants in the 800, meters, of which three will qualify in each of eight he2ts. There are thirty-eight contestants in the shot put and twelve men will qualify in two series. Thirty-two have been entered in the 400 meters hurdles and two will qualify in each of six heats. Fortyeight have entered the high jump, which is divided into four classes. Qualifiers must be able to leap six feet. JUST A BIG FLOP Comparison of Gate Receipts Shows Fight Was “K.
