SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 13.—Despite the fact she gave up her chances to win the United States women's tennis championship for the seventh time, Mrs. Helen Wills Moody has not forsaken the game. “Indeed no.” she said today. ”1 love tennis more than ever and I shall continue as usual to play three or four times a week.

Plans for Three Outdoor Scraps Dropped by Garden Fighters Demand Too Much Money, Officials State; Sharkey-Campolo Contest Out.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—After drawing more than a million dollars in three outdoor bouts hce this summer, the boxing industry in this region virtually was at a standstill today, because of the excessive demands of the leading fighters. Madison Square Garden has dropped negotiations for three outdoor shows Sharkey - Campolo, Singer-Berg and Thompson-Mc-Larnin-r-because the fighters are asking too much for their services. Sharkey wants a guarantee of SIOO,OOO to get into the ring again. A1 Singer, newly-crowned lightweight champion, asks 40 per cent to meet Jack (Kid) Berg, who demands 25 per cent. Jack Thompson, California Negro, wants 40 per cent to meet Jimmy McLarnin, Vancouver, B. C„ who asks 25 per cent for his services.

Babe Ruth Says

NEW YORK, Aug. 13. LOOKS like a lot of the fans are getting all hot and bothered over my allAmerica team this year. In all the years that I've been picking these teams, I don’t believe I ever saw so much interest among the fans. And I don't know that I ever faced a tougher job in making my selections Seems

as though the big leagues are just full of stars this season, and picking ten men out of all the array is mighty tough. Take outfielders, for example. In right field there's Klein, Herman, Paul Waner,

Stephenson, Ott, Heilroann, Miller, Jolley and Combs, just to mention a few of them. And yet only one man can get the job and all the others will have to be left off. It’s the same in the other positions, too. In a lot of seasons there have been five or six men who were standouts at the various positions. That made the job fairly easy. But this year there are only two or three players who stand out so much that you don’t have to consider any one else. And for all the other positions it’s a real dog fight.

A lot of fans want to know if I will pick more American League players than I do National. Since I haven’t picked my team yet I can’t answer that question except to say that when it comes to making the selections, I’m not influenced one way or another by the league a player happens to be playing in. All I'm concerned in is picking the ten men, who, to my mind, are the best men at their positions in baseball today, and whether they happen to be American Leaguers or National Leaguers doesn’t make a particle of difference. All I care is that they’ve got to be good—and in my opinion be better at their job than any one else in cither league. But I guess I had better be careful in discussing this team or I might tip off to you something that I shouldn’t. So i’ll just content myself. by saying that the job seems to get tougher year by year, and this year it threatens to, be the toughest of the lot.

“We have dropped all negotiations for bouts in which the principals ask more than 50 per cent of the gate.” Frank Bruen, vice-president of Madison Square Garden told the United Press today. The three outdoor bouts staged by the Garden this summer, Sharkey vs. Schmeling, Berg vs. Chocolate and Singer vs. Mandell, have grossed $1,093,500.71, and attracted 136,887 persons. The six principals together have received $500,000 for less than forty-five minutes of fighting.
