The Argentine heavyweight starts today on his second week of training for his match with Jack Dempsey. So far he has worked assiduously fn the development of a left hand punch and is breaking himself of the habit of pounding, blacksmith’s siedgehammer style, with his power- ful right. Four sparring mates have been in the camp the first week.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—(United Press.)—No more popular and no more deserving a champion than Mis Helen Wills, the pretty Cali- fornia girl, ever arose to the top in any professional or amateur sport. The 17-year-old Berkeley miss has everything that could possibly be expected in a champion. She has “looks”, and certainly that is an asset for a@ little miss who seems destined to have tennis at her foet for many years to come. She is modest, refined and a “perfect litt! lady” on and off the court, and, as far as her game is concerned, she lacks not a single thing. Helen Wills is the champion of America now, she will be the leader of her class for years to come, and paste it in your hat that Helen Wills is going to be the champion of the world some day; and a cham- pion greater than the great French irl, Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen. When “little Hele won the championship from Mrs. Mallory in the recent “nationals” five thousand frenzied spectators arose and gavo her a demonstration ike of which hes never been surpassed as a whole-hearted, sincere tribute to a great athlete. Her supporters, her admirers and her “fans” will run into millions be- fore her reign is over, because in Helen Wills is represented every- thing that America cherishes as ideal qualifications in a sport where the ethics are unusually high and exacting. eee The new girl champion is a born tennis player. She took to the game naturally and instead of being handi- capped by conditions in the early part of her career which forced her to play with boys her own age and older, she benefited by it to a vast extent. Against a virile, masculine style of play she quite naturally was forced into the same kind of a game to survive and she built up a game that is most effective against women players. Tutored by “Bill” Johnston, one of the greatest of all players, she learned much and she acquired more by studying the strokes and tactics of that great little California wizard. Her game is powerful, thorough and sound and from a superficial view there is no defect in her style. Watching her in her matches against the British players in the Wightman Cup contests and later in the national champfonships, Wal- lis Meyers, the foremost authority of England, had only one criticism of her game. “She has a most wonderful net game, but she does not seem inclined to go to the net enough and make the most of her ability,” he said. Others have observed the same fault. Net players, especially among the women, are so few that it is most striking to see a player of such ability staying in the back court. However, it is maintained by some that she has more effectiveness in playing as she does. George Agutter, professional in- structor at the West Side Tennis club, believes that she has a most effective style of play. Knowing that her opponents realize the power and strength of her game whe: ° Anheuser ST.LOUIS Wholesale Distributors Casper, Wyo. comes to the net, she keeps them constantly under the mental hazard by staying back court and coming up only at the most unexpected moments. “In playing against Miss Wills, I found it very disconcerting to try and figure when she was coming up to regulate my game against Agutter said. “Naturally, un- der such conditions, it is hard to maintain a constant game against her. If she came to the net fre- quently or followed a regular style of attack in coming forward, it would be easier to meet her game than to stay back and be forced into the annoyance of figuring what she was about to do. “T asked her what system she fol- lowed in going to the net and she couldn't explain. She said she just went up and she didn't know when or why.” . Watching the action {t seems and rather slow is also much in oe California girl in that she is heavy on her feet. There her footwork that suggests a youthful awkwardness that ts quite natural at her age. General sport writers who follow all lines of athletic activities find her actions very much like those of Bob Meusel, the Yankee outfielder, Meusel is languid tn action and possessed of an indolent grace that is almost suggestive of laziness, He hes been criticized for taking things top easily and loafing in running out his hits. Yankee players, however, maintain that it {s only when one tries to keep apace with Meusel on the bases that his real speed 1s realized. Miss Wills is much the same. There sre faster players on their feet and other girls who seem able to cover much more ground, but as Agutter says: “What she may lack in actual speed she more than over- comes by the instinct to be where the next play is. She does not need dazzling footwork or terrific speed.” Her speed, according to Agutter is very deceptive. She has an un- usually long stride and she can get cross court in three long steps, where another player would require five or six, and she is further aided by a long, powerful reach and the ability to stroke from any position In dashing across court she also pulls up short and turns immediate ly. She can turn around and re- verse her direction without the loss of a step. Other players, Tilden especially, require almost a com- plete circle to reverse their position WALLACE AND FARNESS SIGNED ON FARGO CARD Otto Wallace and Benny Furness. ring fighters who have appeared be- fore Casper fans several times in the last few months, are leaving Casper today for Fargo, N, D. where they have been matched for 10-round battles on a Labor day card.

Jack Doyle and Billy Papke have been matchéd for 10 rounds in the semi-windup on the rodeo card, which has been postponed until Friday, mit the fighters a week longer to train. Kansas City and Harvey Perkins of Casper, are down for the main go. Doyle and Papke recently fought a bitter 10 round dray at the stock- yards tn Denver, They are the leaders in the 128 pound class in the Rocky Mountain region and should provide plenty of excitement for the fans. Doyle ts a fast, two handed fighter who has climbed to the top in the last few years while Papke jumped up almost overnight. His heavy punch has been a big fac- tor in his success. The opening bout will be « six rounder with two fast men for the principals. ‘Walker and Perkins are both train- ing diligently for the match. Neither of thelr previous meetings have been entirely satisfactory and they are on their toes to end the coming fight decisively.
