Selection of United St SPORTS. TILDEN IS A CERTAINTY; - SIX OTHERS IN RUNNING/| EW YORK, August 11—Selection of players to represent the United States in the defense o upsefs in the play of ranking f the Davis cup, due to the numerous stars, has presented a great problem for the Davis cup committee of the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion. In keeping with the Davis cup regulations, selections must be an- mounced by the committee tomorrow. The committegmen are George T. Adee, Robert D. Wrenn, Beals C. Wright, Samuel Hardy and Harold H. Hackett. William T. Tilden of Philadelphia, #lespite his recent defeat by Vincent Richards, national junior champion, 4s oonsidered a certainty. Following his fllness abroad, Tilden .showed a form reversal. He has been restng for two weeks, however, and it is predicted by experts that he will be in trim when he returns to the courts. William M. Johnston of San Fran- cisco, Watson Washburn and- Rich- mrds of New York, R. Norris Willlams of Boston and Robert and Howard XKinsey of California appear to be among the leading candidates in the opinion of the experts. The Kinseys are rated highly because of their ability as a doubles team. They were defeated in the finals at Newport by ‘Williams and sWashburn, but that is the only mark against them. In recent matches Washburn de- feated Johmstor®and Williams; John- ston defeated Williams; Richards de- feated Williams and Tilden, only to be beaten later by Williams. In selecting the team the committes, 1t is believed, will endeavor to in- clude the best prospects for the singles and make other selections for the doubles. Tilden and Richards as a doubles team are rated highly, but a selection of this sort would require Tilden to play both singles and doubles. Con- sequently the doubles choice may lie between Williams and Washburn and the Kinsey brothers. A surprising feature of the doubles ‘was the dcfeat of Woosnam and Turn- bull by Dwight F. Davis, donor of tke inteynational cup, with his old part- ner, Holcombe Ward. The Americans, who held the national championship and defended the Davis cup twenty years_ago, beat the young Britons, —_————— DANES - AUSTRALASIANS PLAYING SINGLES TODAY CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 11— Australasia and Denmark will come together upon the grass courts at the Mayfield Country Club this after- noon in the first two singles matches of the semi-final round of the Davis cup tennistseries. - Erik_Tegner, Denmark, plays Nor- man Peach. Australia, while Vagn Ingerslev, Denmark, meets J. O. An- derson. Peach, the captain of the Australian team, thus tackles the Dane who de- feated W. H. Laurentz, French cham- pion, in_a recent tournament in France. In comparison with his Dan- ish opponent, Peach is rather small, as Tegner stands six feet tall. The Australian is-very strong on volleyin and ground strokes, and has -devel oped from: being merely a steady player to one who combines bril- liancy with reliability. Tegner, while already rated as one of the best play- ers in Europe, has not reached his top notch. He is but twenty-four Yyears of age. Anderson is believed to be Aus- tralia’s best player in singles. He stands six feet three inches in height, and his victories in Canada and against the Britons in Pittsburgh show he is playing great tennis. He has a phenomenal forehand stroke, with a safe backhand. Ingerslev_is champion of Denmark. In fact, he is considered the best 4n all Scandinavia. He prefers to play a back-court game, but is dangerous at the net. He is thirty-six years old and a government officer, E. C. Torrey. vice president of the United States Tennis Association, will act as referee. —_— WRIGHT TO REFEREE. CHICAGO, August 11.—Beals C. Wright of New York has been se- lJected as' referee in the semi-finals of the Davis cup tennis matches to be played ‘here three days next week between téams repreSenting India and Japan.

Sheard of Toronto, 6—I1, 6—1. ank Anderson of New 'York, national indoor champion, and Walter Wesbrook of Cleveland also were ‘winners. FAVORITES ARE LOSERS IN GOLF TOURNAMENT DENVER, Col. August 11.—State champions, former - champions and veterans met defeat in the first and second rounds of the annual Trans- mississippi Golf Association tourna- ment. Harry G. Legg of Minneapolls, five .*times ‘champion, and Robert McKee of Des Moines, 1920 champion, were among those eliminated. Frank | Godahaux of New Orleans also was de- | feated. | IN TENN SEMHFNALS Johnston Is Playing Richards and Williams Meeting Woospam - in Seabright Singles. SEABRIGHT, N. J., August 11.— ‘Willlam M. Johnston of San Fran- cisco and Vincent Richards of New York were matched in the upper half of the semi-final round of. the men's cup singles at the Seabright Tennis and Cricket Club today. . Maxwell ‘Woosnam, captain of the British Isles Davis cup team, was matched with R. Norris Williams, 24, of Boston in | the lower half. women’s singles were today. Woosnam yesterday defeated Rob- ert Kinsey, San_Francisco, , X So ably did the Englishman play that he mastered the young Amer- ican by a total of twenty-five place- ments to_six. Williams conquered the British vet- eran, F. Gordon Lowe, by a net at- tack, 6—2, 6—4. Johnston defeated Dean Mathey, former Princeton captain, 6—4, 6—1.

The steadiness of the New York girl and her ability to solve her opponent’s service accounted for her victory. Mrs. Moilla_ Bjurstedt Mallory and Miss Mary K. Browne disposed of their opponents in straight sets. FIRST IN $12,000 RACE. Guardian Trust Captures Classic Event at North Randall. NORTH RANDALL, CLEVELAND, Avgust 11.—Guardian Trust won the $12,000 championship stallion pacing stake, feature of the grand circuit pro- gram, here yesterday.

YANKEE YACHTS BEATEN Drop Final of Six Races With Britons, Who Win Series by 117 Points to 88. By the Asgociated Press. . COWES, Isle of Wight, August 11.— Great Britain yesterday won the in- ternational six-meter yacht race from the team of four American boats sent across sgas to contest for the cup. The sixth and final race in the series was won by the British racers by a margin of four points, the home boats scoring 20 and the viNgors 16. Previously the point score s¥gpd 3§t 97 for the British craft ana 2 _for the Americans, thus making the final score Great Britain 117 and Amer- ica 88. The course for yesterday's race of fifteen miles afforded less windward works than in the previous events. The American boats got a good start, with Grebe in second, Sheila in fourt Genie in sixth and Montauk in se enth.

BUFF IS GIVEN DECISION Crowd Disapproves Verdict Over Ledoux—White and Dundee in Ten-Round Draw. NEW YORK, August 11.—Johnny Buff, claimant of the American fly- welght championship, last night re- celved the judges' decision over Charley Ledoux, French bantam- weight, at the end of ten rounds. The crowd expressed its disapproval at the verdiet. Buff was knocked down in the third and fourth rounds. Charlie White of Chicago and Johnny.Dundee of New York went ten rounds to & draw. Both are light- weights. Paul Doyle, claimant of the New England welterweight title, was given the judges' decision over Marty Cross of New York. Midget Smith of New York was given the judges' decision over Young Montreal of Providence at the end of their ten-round bout. They are ban- tamweights. - Smith floored Montgeal In thé first round for a count’ of eig] = WILSON SIGNS FOR BOUT WITH DOWNEY LABOR DAY BOSTON, August 11.—Martin Kil- lilea, manager of Johnny Wilson, has announced that Wilson had been imatched by Tex Rickard to meet Bryan Downey in a twelve-round bout at Jersey City on Labor day. In a recent hout at Cleveland the referee awarded the decision to Wilson on a foul, but the Cleveland boxing com- mission announced that it had over- ruled the decision and would recog- nize Downey as middlewelght cham- pion on the ground that y had actually scored a knockout. ‘Wilson will receive 35 per cent of the gate receipts and Downey 20 per cent. Both men are to weigh 160 pounds at 10 o'clock in the morning. They will enter the ring at 4 p.m. CLAIMS $5,000 FORFEIT. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 11.— Lew Tendler, challenger for the world lightweight championship, who was to have met Benny Leonard in a bout for the title tomorrow night, which was' called off when the champion dislocated his thumb, has announced he would claim the forfeit of $5,000 posted py Leonard. McGOORTY TO FIGHT. CHICAGO, August 11.—Eddie Mc- Goorty, veteran middleweight boxer, has been signed for a ten-round bout with Frankie Murphy, southern fighter, at Atlanta, Ga., on August 15. Rickard said he talked with Martin Killilea, Wilson's manager, over the telephone, and that the Boston im- presario had sald his protege would begin light training at once, and by the first of next week would be hard at work getting himself down to the middleweight requirements. “Wilson,” continued Tex Rickard, “weighed 172 pounds when he fought Downey in Cleveland. Of course, that meant he was way overweight. He has had his lesson, and if the ‘Cleve- land fighter wins on Labor Day it will not be due to the champlon's lack of condition.” It is interesting to note that Rickard refers to Wilson as the champlon. And that is just what he is, despite the ruling of the Cleveland boxing board. In Wisconsin, Massa- chusetts. New York and other states the decision of a referee is held to be final and binding, and there is no way in which a city boxing board can change that decision and in 8o doing make it effective in outside states. Members of the New York state boxing commission are of the opinion that the original mistake lay in the willingness of the Cleveland board to permit Wilson to import his own referee in the ohse of the Downey fight. But- since he was allowed to do ‘this, it 18 held, there is no way of avolding the finality of that official’s decision. DEMPSEY ON WAY EAST. CHICAGO, August 11.—Jack Demp- sey, world heavyweight champion, has arrived in Chicago from the west en route to New York, in response to a telegram from his manager, Jack Kearns. Dempsey said his mission was for business reasons. Dempsey said that he knew nothing about the proposed match with Jess ‘Willard. He will leave today for New York. _— 500 ENTER BIG SHOOT. NEW YORK, August 11.—Five hun- dred entries have been received for the Grand American handicap trapshooting tournament to be held in Chicago Au- gust 22 to 27, inclusive. A final entry list of more than 700 is expected. YANKEES SHOOT WELL. LYON, France, August 11.—In the in- ternational rifle shooting competition yesterday, the American and French teams fired from the kneeling position. Notwithstanding stormy weather, the scoring was excellent. The results will not be made public until the scores are worked out. Powerboats Gathering. BUFFALO, N. Y, August 11.— Twenty-six American and Canadian powerboats were on the Niagara river course today for the opening of the international regatta and the Fisher- Allison $5,000 gold cup race for the displacement boat champlonship of North America. “Can’t fool me— it's a. Piedmont” —» mmst TWIRLING FEATS OCCUR IN TWO SANDLOT GAMES . W HILE free-hitting engagements‘have predominated in the series |, for~the District sandlot base ball championship, several of the contending teams have pitchers capable of holding opponents to few safeties. There were two well hurled games yesterday. ®In one, McCoy of the Winstons mastered the Randles in Section C of the un- limited division, while in the other, Brayton, Tech High School mounds- man, pitching for the Roamers in Section B of the junior class, baffled the Benning batters. A brace of singles was all the Ran- dle aggregation could garner off Mc- Coy in seven Innings. He had excel- lent control and never was in diffi- culty except in the sixth inning, when the Randles made all their runs. Brayton held the Benning bunch ta four blows, but one was 2 homer by Lovelace, .that accounged for three tallies in the sixth. Banging Goodrich for an early lead, the Gibraltars easily disposed of Grace Athletic*Club, in Section A of the unlimited division. The lasing pitcher kept his team in the game by clouting a hémer. Deck of the Gibs also knocked a four-baser. ™~ Holden’s hurling gave Brookland its victory over Peerless Athletic Club, in Section B of the unlimiteds. He let the northeast boys have only five hits and encountered no trouble outside of the third inning. Herr helped the winners by knocking three hits in four times at bat. Clover Athletic Club did much hit- ting to beat the Park View Juniors in the Section A game of the junior division. J. Long and Roudabush made three safeties each, while C. i ] Ball, Keefer and Davis each smashed a pair of swats. Errors helped the losers get their few tallies. Christ Child was unable to maintain its early lead, and lost to the War- wicks in Section A of the midget class. The losers outbatted the War- wicks, eighteen hits to seven, but fielded poorly. Both pitchers were generous with passes. Foley outpitched Halsey, giving Holy Name a victory over Stanton- Templar in Section B of the midgets. A batting rally in the fourth inning put Holy Name in the lead for the remainder of the engagement. FIVE Y. M. C. A.
