TILDEN OPPOSES IRISH GIANT IN TENNIS MEET FEATURE

Hennessey Defeated Local Star Loses to Mangin; 16 Remain in Title Play. BY PAUL W. WHITE, United Pref BUR Correspondent FOREST HILLS, N. Y., sept. 10. —A battle of big, tall men was featured today on the fourth-round program for the men’s national singles tennis championship in which fifteen rivals still are trying to wrest the title from Bill Tilden Tilden, himself well above six feet, was matched with G. Lyttleton Rogers. Irish and Canadian champion who towers six feet and seven inches above the well-beaten lawns at Forest Hills. Rogers provided the sole major upset of Tuesday's play when he downed Ellsworth Vines, the California youngster, who in recent months has made a specialty of upsetting the tennis great. Beating Vines in order to meet Tilden is a great deal like passing Lary to get at Ruth, but Rogers, whose size, infectious grin and clowning make him a favorite of the galleries, at least should provide Big Bill with more opposition than he has met thus far. The other seven matches scheduled for today follow: John Van Ryn, Kant Orange. N. J., vs. T. J. Ferry, England. Clifford S. Sutter, Nap Orleanx, va. Berkeley Bell, Austin, Tex. Wilmer AUison. Austin, Tex., vs. Frank X. Shields, New York. B. Norris Williams, New York, rs. Francis T. Hunter, New Rochelle, N. Y. Gregory 8. Mangin, Newark, N. J., "h J. 8. OUiff, England. Sidney B. Weed, New York, vs. Samuel B. Gilpin. Philadelphia. John H. Doeg, Santa Monica, Cal., va. H. G. N. Lee, England. Johnny Hennessey of Indianapolis, former Davis cup player, was eliminated by Gregory Mangin, 6-2, 6-0, 1-6, 6-2. Huntington and Bluffton Break R ii United Press _ BLUFFTON, Ind., Sept. 10.—Athletic relations between Bluffton and Huntington high schools have been severed, with cancellation of the football game that was to have been played on Nov. 7. 11l feeling engendered by unwillingness on the part of the Huntington school to include Bluffton on its basketball schedue was cited in Bluffton as the principal cause of severance.

30 Is Goal

Lefty Grove FOR ten years no American League hurler has been able to win thirty games in a season. Some have come close, but Jim Bagby, Cleveland, was the last to turn the trick, back in 1920. Lefty Grove, southpaw ace of the world champion Athletics, is shooting at the mark and Connie Mack is giving him every change, Grove won a mound duel from Earl Whitehall at Detroit Tuesday for No. 26. A week ago Grove won three games in as many days, starting and finishing one and going on relief duty for extra-inning work in the other two. The feat of winning four more tilts before the season ends is possible, but not probable. M’INTIRE SHOOT VICTOR Mclntire won the fifty-target event, with 49, and the handicap, with 23 out of 25, at the weekly shoot of the Crooked Creek Gun Club Tuesday. Umbanhowar was second in both events with 47 and 22. * >.
