Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

New York, July 25. THE American tennis team meets the French this week for the Davis cup and I note by the daily bugles that some of the writing boys seem to think your old Uncle Samuel has a real good chance to bring the championship back. There have been changes in the American team. Youth has replaced age. Only Tilden of the old guard remains. Lott. Van Ryn and Allison still find shaving once a week a novelty. The latter two have been made over into an effective doubles combination, with the Wimbledon title already to their credit. a a a Thrse fart* plus the loss of La Coste to the French team and the inevitable consequence that Cochet will have to carry the brunt of the Tricolor attack have given rise to high hopes over here among the better class eye shades and white trousers. a a a AT THAT THE TASK OF RECOVERING THE BOWL DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE IMPOSSIBLE ALL THE AMERICANS HAVE TO DO IS WIN THREE OF THE FIVE MATCHES YES. THAT'S ALL. OF COURSE FOUR WOULD MAKE IT MORE IMPRESSIVE, BUT THEY CAN GET ALONG VERY WELL WITH THREE TO SPEAK OF WINNING FIVE IS VULGAR. a a a WELL, let’s see how it can be done. Old Man Tilden ought to be able to win one of the singles matches anyway. He’s got no business in there against Cochet, who has repeatedly proved he is the Philadelphian’s master; but against Borotra. Big Bill might win. a a a Lott la strictly a gamble. Tossing him In against Cochet is hardly a favor. There are a lot more pleasant ways to spend an afternoon at tennis. And yet the Chicago collegian is probably a better bet than Tilden. At least there is a chance that he may go wild and rush the French star off his feet. With Tilden even this possibility doesn’t exist. He has puhlically conceded Coehet’s superiority, and there was nothing to indicate he was fooling. a a a LOTT IS CAPABLE OF SPORADIC OUT- j BURSTS OF DAZZLING BRILLIANCY AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN HE IS A MATCH FOR ANY PLAYER IN THE WORLD. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES—MANY OF THEM. TO BE TRUTHFUL ] WHEN HE IS JUST A CALLOW YOUTH j WITH A FAIR OF AMBITIOUS BICEPS j AND A WAYWARD RACKET. WHICH IS TO SAY THAT WHEN HE IS GOOD HE 13 THE BERRIES AND WHEN HE IS BAD HE IS NO BARGAIN AT ANY PRICE. a a a VINCENT RICHARDS, a former campaigner in these wars and now the proprietor of a flourishing tennis school in the Madison Square Garden building, was not inclined to be optimistic today concerning the American team's prospect. ana "The boy* have an outside chance, said Richards, "and a very outside one at that. I think they will do well to win two matches. Tilden might get by Borotra and Van Ryn and Allison have been playing well enough together as a team to score In the doubles. I think it is asking too much of Lott or any other of the American players to beat Cochet. The Frenchman is undoubtedly the greatest player in the game today. I don’t see I how he can be beaten. a a a RICHARDS SAID HE THOUGHT THE ODDS AGAINST THE AMERICAN TEAM WAS 1 TO 8. OR 8 TO 1. AS COMMON USAGE PUTS IT. IN SPITE OF THE INCAPACITATION OF LA COSTE. a a a "Our team is still two years away,” ! said Richards. “With the youngsters in there we will begin to get better j swiftly now. but it’s futile to figure , we are strong enough now to win ! from a team whose superiority has been established.’’ Defaults Mar Riley Contests Second and third round singles in both the men’s and juniors divisions were on today’s program in the west side tennis tournament at Riley park.

Lott Meets Borotra in Opening Match of Davis Cup Play

Tribe Seems to Have Hit League Skids Indians Drop Opener at j Milwaukee by Big Score; Burwell Fails. /?.*/ Timm. Special MILWAUKEE, July 25—Bruno Betzel's Indians still are “maidens” in Milwaukee during 1929, meaning they haven’t won a game at Bor- ; chert field this season. They played ! two here in May and last both, and Wednesday, in the opener of a sixgame series, the Hoosiers were j thumped soundly, 10 to 2. Bill Burwell, usually a puzzle to the Brewers, was knocked out and the Indians as a whole failed to score after the first inning. Softened up by the Miller bats in the last three games during the six-game series in Minneapolis, the Betzelites were little more than a push-over for the Home Brews Wednesday and now Marty Berghammer, new Milwaukee boss, has an idea his Cream City pastimers are going to land higher than seventh in the A. A. standing when the curtains are drawn in late September. He expects to bowl over the Tribe for at least four during the current sojourn of the Betzel boys in Milwaukee. It's needless to go into detail about what happened Wednesday. The box score tells it all. Violent at the start, were the Indians, but with no punch later—there you have it. Yes, it’s becoming a tough road trip for the men of Betzel, the record now showing, since they left home, five victories, six defeats and one tie. The fact they “blew” a seven-run lead in the second half of Tuesday’s j twin bill at Minneapolis evidently took the heart out of the Tribe ath- j letes and hurt their morale Wednes- 1 day in the series first here. At any rate, it was just too bad to suffer a decisive defeat at the hands of the lowly Brewers. Klein Brothers Perform Against Highways Team There will be plenty of action when the Lincoln Highways clash with the Indianapolis Keystones at Washington park Sunday in a double-header. The Keystone nine is one of the best independent clubs in the state. Two brothers of Chuck Klein, leading home run hitter of the major leagues, play with the Keystones and are some hitters themselves. Hildebrand is the ace of the pitching staff. This will be the last appearance j of the Highways at Washington park until Aug. 25. Beginning Aug. 4, the Highways will take a trip through Kentucky and southern Indiana. playing at Louisville, Owensboro, Ky.. Vincennes and Evansville. Any team in that section wishing to book the Highways, write Guy Fleming. 2129 Massachusetts avenue, Indianapolis.

iNDIANAPOLIS is to have another municipal golf links and soon. The new links, known as Dearborn park, discussed before briefly by city officials, is now in the course of making. We learned from Harry Schopp, veteran course manager at South Grove, who also is the city’s golf architect, that the park board members are going over plans for the golf club house, which also will be a community house. It will be located in the center of what promises to be a beautiful eighteen-hole links. tt tt tt Dearborn park, now open so the public as a park, is between Keystone avenueand Olnev street and Thirtieth and Thirtyfourth streets. The ground is rolling, well wooded, has a creek running through it and is fertile enough to make the construction of a golf links easy to accomplish. THE LINKS WILL TAKE CARE OF THE ARMY OF GOLFERS WHO LIVE NORTH AND EAST AND WHO FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY BEFORE DRIVING THREE TO EIGHT MILES TO REACH PLEASANT RUN. OR THE COURSES NEAR RIVERSIDE.

Chicago Youth Gets Quick Baptism in Net Challenge Round. TILDEN VS. COCHET Veteran Bill Drawn Against Crack Frenchie. Bu United Pres PARIS, July 25.—Big Bill Tilden, American tennis veteran, is to have one more chance Friday to avenge the defeats he has suffered at the hands of Henri Cochet of France. In the drawings today for the opening matches of the challenge round for the Davis cup here Friday Tilden was drawn for the second match against Cochet. ! Young George Lott of Chicago will meet Jean Borotra in the first match, giving tennis fans throughout the world their first glimpse of ! him in Davis cup challenge rounds. The youngster’s replacing the vet- | eran Francis T. Hunter of New Ro- ! chelle. N. Y., on the Davis cup team, ! has provided the subject for much | conversation. Task for Tilden Lott is looked to win his match from Borotra, but even American fans are not so sanguine of Tilden’s chances. Both teams appeared in fine condition and final practice w r as indicative of a mighty struggle when the clash begins Friday. Sport crit- \ ics here agree that George Lott, upon whom America’s chances of victory are expected to rest, appears to be in splendid form. Tilden, first ranking player of the American team, is in better form than at Berlin last week, according to those who saw the United States beat Germany in the inter-zone finals. Tilden accredits this to the weather, declaring he was handicapped by the intense heat in the German capital. Wilmer Allison of Ft. Worth, Tex., and John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. J., the sensational young American doubles team who captured the wimbledon title, will oppose the veteran French combination of Cochet and Borotra unless the French clean up the opening singles matches. In that event, Borotra will save himself for the final encounter with Tilden. Jacques Brugnon playing in his stead. French Favorites So much attention has been paid the youthful American invaders that there has been a tendency almost to give too little credit to Jean Borotra, Herni Cochet, Jacques Brugnon and Jean Boussus, who comprise the defending team. These men are playing excellent ! tennis in their practice rounds and will enter the challenge matches a slight favorite in the betting. French critics are certain Cochet will win both his matches and feel equally sure of at least one victory from Borotra—enough to save the trophy. TRY _ fOO BIG WINNER CHICAGO. July 25.—Try Too, 121 shot in the betting, won the Hyde park juvenile stakes Wednesday from a field of the classiest 2-year-olds of the season by beating out Alimony in a neck and neck finish | in the stretch. The aggregate of the purse in the race was $9,225. Alimony was second and Morsel third.

the annual national baseball and golf tournament. Years ago the printers started a national baseball tournament, and naturally the baseball tournament is the headliner. But fast growing in favor is the annual golf tournament, held in conjunction. The tournament will open Aug. 26 and last four days. Play will be over the Avalon Country Club links. tt tt B B. E. Seudder is chairman of the printers golf committee and announces the meet will be 72 holes medal play. Opening day will be qualifying day to allott players to four classes. The ope'ning day scores, however, will count in the grand total. The first class will be for players scoring between 70 and 85. Class B is for scores between 86 and 100 and Class C between 101 and 115. Any scores over 115 will go into Class D. tt tt a NOW that the Speedway course is just about ready with sporty eighteen-hole links, a clubhouse with shower baths and everything for comfort of the golfer who prefers to pay a nominal fee rather than wait and battle a large crowd, along comes the rumor that the course may interefere with the plans of the General Motors to use the infield at the Speedway as a commercial landing field. Officials at the speedway office blasted this rumor today by saying they had not heard of the dickering with the General Motors Company. B B tt Af fbe speedway office today officials said plans call for a grand opening of the course a week from today.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 25.—A1 Singer, Bronx boy, is the uncrowned featherweight champion of the world today. He scored a tworound knockout over the title holder, Andre Routis of France, in a nontitle bout Wednesday night at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. Flooring Routis three times, Singer had the champion groggy, helpless and almost ready to collapse when Referee Eddie Forbes stopped the contest after 2 minutes Sidney Smith in Semi-Finals of State Net Meet Bu United Press . „„ _ FT. WAYNE. Ind., July 25.—Quar-ter-final matches were to be played in the state singles tennnis tournament here today. Play in the doubles, scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed until today when a heavy vain broke over the courts. Sidney Smith, St. Louis, reached the semi-final bracket Wednesday. He defeated his brother Joe, 10-12, 6-0, 6-3, in a closely contested match. Dick Bastian, Indianapolis’ hope in the tourney, gained the quarterfinal bracket by defeating Paul Stagg, Chicago, son of Alonzo Stagg, coach of the Chicago university football team, 6-1, 6-0. Hugh McArthur, San Diego, Cal., a favorite, defeated Jim Wilson, Ft. Wayne, 6-2, 6-2. Karl Kamrath, Austin, Tex., disposed of Carl Ireneus, Chicago, 6-3, 6-1. A. Kennigsburg, Bluffton, who gained the second bracket by default from Berkeley Bell, Austin, Tex., national intercollegiate champion, was defeated by R. C. Ranney, Cleveland, 6-3, 6-0.

55 seconds of fighting in the second round. Only the fact that both fighters weighed in over the class limit of 126 pounds, saved Routis’ title for him. Singer weighed 129, Routis 12814. More than 20,000 persons saw two champions decisively defeated Wednesday night, as Mushy Callahan of California, junior welterweight champion, lost every round of the ten-round semi-final to Jack (Kid) Berg of England. Callahan’s title was not at stake because both weighed in over the divisional weight limit of 140 pounds, Berg scaling 143 M, Caliafian 14514. The official paid attendance was 18.266 and the gross receipts $54,124. Singer dropped Routis with a smashing right cross to the chin at long range in the middle of the second round. Only semi-conscious, Routis got back to his feet at the count of five with his knees buckling under him and his arms hanging at his sides. With Routis backed against the ropes, Singer lashed out a terrific right hook which caught the champion square on the jaw and dropped him again for a count of three. Routis was completely at sea and was hopelessly helpless when he got up. Tearing out of a neutral corner, Singer rushed across the ring, cornered Routis and dropped him with another right hook to the head. Routis came back up at five, but was barely able to stand and completely unabie to defend himself and Referee Forbes stepped between the men.

Robins Hurt Best Teams in National Boot Cubs From Lead and Then Pirates: Ruin Giants’ Flag Hopes. BY WILLIAM J. DUNN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 25.—The Brooklyn Robins are doing their bit toward making the 1929 National League pennant race a thrilling affair. Brooklyn is headed nowhere in particular, but has succeded in making its presence keenly felt by the pennant contenders. Twice in the past week the Robins have booted a league leader into second place and are making the managers of contending teams admit a hearty respect for their ability. Vance Fools Cubs Last Sunday the Chicago Cubs held a slim lead in the battle for supremacy before they were called to face Dazzy Vance and his $25,000 delivery in the final of their fourgame series at Brooklyn. After nine innings of futile endeavor the Cubs found themselves beaten. 3 to 1, and down in second place again. The Robins went to Pittsburgh for a series with the Pirates and were acclaimed as the team that made possible the return of Pittsburgh to first place. Batter Pirates If Dazzy Vance succeeded in stopping the Pirates this afternoon the Robins will be lucky to get out of Pittsburgh alive. In three games played thus far in that city in the present series, Brooklyn has won two. and the victory scored Wednesday rumbled the Pirates out of first place once more. The New York Giants are practically out of the race today because they have lost ten games to Brooklyn. The Giants, as a result, are deep in third place, faced with the problem of cutting down a lead of eight full games. Millionaires Go to Work During Ushers 9 Strike Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 25.—Max Schmeling, Germany, made his first appearance in Chicago in an exhibition showing Wednesday night. Schmeling boxed four rounds with his sparing partners, pleasing 9,000 fans, many of whom were of German descent.

Promoter Harmon, president of the Chicago Stadium Corporation, immediately pressed many of his millionaire board of directors into service as “handymen” and the crowd was seated.
