FOR TENNIS PLAY NEW YORK, July 24.—(United Press.)—The Mexican Davis Cup team was. due in New York today, another of the numerous groups of foreign tennis. players who are ar- riving here in unprecedented num- bers. The Mexicans will play at Seabright, Newport and Southamp- ton before the Nationals, in addi- tion to the Cup Ties. Franz Gerdes and Ignacio Borbolla are the fea- tured players, but there is a possi- bility that they will be accompanied by Claude Butlin and one other promising young player. , The Chinese Davis Cup team will have as its Captain W.:Lock Wei, and the other members of the team will probably be Mr. Ng Sze Kwong, champion of Hongkong; Mr, Hooi Hye, champion of Singapore, and Mr. 8S. C. Wu, a Well-known player in England. They are due about August 1. According to Zenzo Shimizu, captain of the Japanese team for this season, 8, Okamota, T. Harada, and M. Fukuda, will sail for New York the last of July after competing in the Olympic champion- ships, and will then play in the Mon- treal Cup match August 7. A Cuban team is also here. The Australian team, which has been in the United States for some time, has -two comparatively new players—Schlesinger and Kalms—as well as O'Hara Wood and Patterson, long prominent in tennis. A dis- patch announces that Norman E. Brookes, the famous Australian vet- n internationalist, will be a mem- ber of this year’s team, but no of- ficial announcement has been made. The winner of the European zone tie, probably either France or Eng- land, will arrive lgte in July, and about the same time American players will be returning from the Olympic games, probably with one or’ more prominent European play- ers.

McQuillan, who Tet Cincinnati down with three hits, was the whole show in the Giants’ 3 to 1 decision over the Reds. Profiting by a bad choice of Pitchers, Chicago scored enough runs in the first inning to win from Boston. The final count was 5 to 2. Brooklyn riveted itself more firm- ly in third place by snatching a 4 to 3 verdict from Pittsburgh in 10 innings. The Phillies made it four straight from St. Louis to the tune of 8 to 5. BAYLOR EXPECTED 10 PUT NEW SENSATION IN FOOTBALL FIELD By LAWRENCE PERRY (Copyright, 1934, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 24.—From the southwest wafts the information that football colleges which have Baylor on their schedule this fall would do well to watch out.

Georges himself has promised to quit it he is knocked out. He should, for the good of the game, or else de- finitely admit his lmitations and take on men—second raters—for whom he {s a match, at purses of reasonable size. Just a few bouts too long has Georges capitalized the dazzling smile, the orchid dressing gown, and the gracious manner that draws society to his training camps. Theré seems to be little reason to suppose that Gene Tunney cannot beat the Frenchman, and yet the suspicion lingers that this time Car- pentier may loop over one of thos? famous rightd to good effect. and sock bis way to an American title he once took away from old Bat Le- vinsky, ‘The Frenchman las a flare for tho unusual, In defeat, he figures on some way to lose without admitting openly that he is beafen . With a chance for victory, he dares to ‘try anything once. He tried it, once, on Dempsey, and none of those who breathed resin at the ringside that scorching July day in Jersey City will ever forget how near our own champ was to going down. But having tried it and fail- ed, and incidentally fractured a thumb, Carpentier was through. True, he did make one fleeting effort, after going down for a count of nine in the fourth. He leaped to his feet from a prone position with a sin- gle muscular twist and fell upon Dmpsey, but it was a futile effort, for the Frenchman was too weak, crude infighting thrown. in. No one with any enthusiasm for the art ever had much use for Georges’ infight- ing. If his ankle holds up, Carpentier should go the limit and lose the de cision. If his "right gocs over, he should win the title. Either way, a Carpentier fight is always a colorful affair, with little Francois Descamps, the French- man's peppery manager, busy with complaints and exclamations. We don’t hear as much as we used to about Descamps’ hypnotic eye, but at any moment Francois may be ex- pected to introduce some new gag of this sort.

The United Press correspondent saw the Frenchman knock out Joe Beckett of England twice—once in 70 seconds and again in 15 seconds —and it was Beckett's “dumbness” which was directly responsible in each caso.

Carpentier has slowed down since his best days, and is more likely to give Tunney a chance to get set.

By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 24.—When Gene Tunney steps into the ring at the Polo Grounds tonight he will stand as a 3 to 1 favorite over his opponent, Georges Carpentier, of Franc® Tunney is placed on the heavy end of the betting by shrewd layers on several vounts. First, he is young. He is 26 years old and is improving from bout to bout. Car- pentier is an old, worn ring veteran who has been in strenuous action over a period of 17 years. He gives his age as 30 but if this is true then dates in the record of his career that have never been questioned make it appear that he first began action as a professional boxer at the tender age of 13 years, But years aside, Carp's showing against Battling Siki in France and against Tommy Gibbons, at Michi- gan City, have been important fac tors in inclining the experts to select Tunney as the favorite. It seems to have been well established that Car- pentiré did not train at all for Siki, that the negro had agreed to take it on the ear and that thereupon he double crossed the gorgeous one. As for Gibbons, most observers think that Tommy carried Carp thruout the last two rounds Whether he did or not, the French- man's showing was so inferior that he had to pull a sprained ankle to retain any credit whatever. Hig one chance of beating Tunney is un- doubtedly his right hand.

FOSTER right 1924, The Casper Tribune) SW. YORK, July 24.—Goslin, of the Washington, is the newest bat- ting sensation of the American Lea- gue. He is slamming the ball on the | nose at a .250 clip and he fs likely to better it if some pitcher doesn't throw sand on his trail, One batter alone can not play the ball game by himself, but one men who ts playing top notch and get- ting better all the time can contri- bute several ohms of batting lightn- ing to strike the opposing teams. Such a batter is Goslin. There {s Cobb, Ruth, Heflman, Eddie Collins and the other old boys who are expected to bat and most of them have been doing it, but it insn’t half the cirens to fiyd them batting as it is to discover game am- bitious youngster who is Keginmning to show his mettle as a sf icker. On May 15 Goslin was ).atting 277 and Pessimistic ones said. the Sena- tors were tied down as usual be- cause they did not have ‘an outfielder who could bang the ba on the nose. In the following week, Goslin began to pick up and he climbed above 280 nd he kept on clinvoing. On May he was hitting 385 and the fol- lowing week he reachd 325. The week following that he was over 340 and he remained around there for month. How he {s climbing again. In reality, “the Goose,” as he is affectionately known by his fellow players, is the fourth best batter in the American League as the figures stand now and he could claim to be the third best batter and have a right good argument to back him up. > Tribune wantads bring results. “Wellman!s Method”— famous way back in 1870 see getting famous again e270 the secret of Granger's taste *2 @ and listen — foil wrapper cuts cost to 10¢ ranger Rough Cut | Liccer®& Myrts Tonacco Co. — made and cut today — exclusively for pipes
