y SPORTS. Test for Davis Cup Pair WILLIAMS AND WASHBURN JAPANESE AND ANZACS | TOM GIBBCNS NOW TIPS [WINS AT TRAPS AGAIN|FRENCH'S 65, SIX UNDER BATTLING CALIFORNIANS B William M. Johnston and Willis E. OSTON, August 25.—America’s probable doubles defenders in the Davis cup challenge round, R. Norris Williams, 2d, and Watson M. Washburn, faced a severe test today in the semi-final round of the national doubles championship tournament. Their match with Davis of San Francisco, competitors on different teams in the last national doubles final round, was the big event of the day on the Longwood Cricket Club courts, where several pther national titles are being contested. ‘Willlams and Washburn have not ®Shown at their best to date in this tournament, and yesterday were al- amost forced out of the play. It has appeared to tennis followers that they have been trying to work out & more uniformly conservative style of play, to obviate especially the ten- dency to hairline shots shown by Williams. Weaknesses have been ex- posed, however, which have been quick to seize upon. The other semi-final match, in which W. T. Tilden, 2d, and Vincent Rich- ards will be opposed by the Kinsey brothers of California, will not be played until tomorrow afternoon. Tilden's principal activity today was dn the upper half of the national mix- ed doubles, in which the national champion has as his partner, Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, ional woman's titlist. They met Miss Edith Bigourney and N. W. Niles in the second Tound, having drawn a bye. The most formidable of other teams, Miss Mary X. Brown, former woman's champion, and Johnston, in the lower half of ihe draw. Davis Cup Pair Extended. Willlams and Washburn yesterday ‘were forced to five sets and appeared in danger of defeat by the old-timers, Sam Hardy and S. H. Voshell. The Davis cup pair lacked aggressiveness and showed weakness in service and overhead. The veterans pushed them hard Voshell by his service and Hardy by clever placements. The scores were 6—3, 4—6, 6—4, 3—8, 6—3. Tilden and Richards advanced only after stiff opposition by the middle- western collegians, L. E. Williams and Fritz E. Bastian, whom they beat —35, , 6—2, 6—2. Tilden turned on his hardest hitting and most dex- terous strokes. One of his shots knocked Bastian over and another forced the same player to put both hands to his racket to make a return. The scores were i—b, 4—6, 6—2, 6—2 In the other matches Johnston and opponents | Gi Dayis defeated M. B. Hutchinson and C. W.

LENGLEN KEPT TO ROOM BY ILLNESS NEW YORK, August 25.—Mille. Su- sanne Lenglin continues in a listless and coughing condition that keeps her indoors. The face of the French ten- nis star, as she lay In an easy chair, unwilling to speak lest she increase the difficult breathing and coughing | that is delaying her from the courts, was full of sorrow and disappoint- ment. Her physician has decided that the bronchial afiction which swept down on her with such suddenness during her match with Mrs. Mallory last week Is a return of a chronic “hay fever” which she has experienced mildly in hospitable climate of New York and the nervous tension of her trip has ac- centuated this weakness to a consid~ erable degree of illness. She is very low spirited over her present setback, but she refuses to consider giving up CORNELL WELL FIXED. for Its Foot Ball Team. ITHACA, N. Y., August 25.—Candi- dates for the 1921 Cornell varsity foot ball team have been notified to report September 12 for the initlal practice of the season. The aspir- ants will be greeted by Head Coach Gilmour Dobie, and Assistants Ray Munt, Clyde Mayer and Paul Eckley. Cornell prospects will be brighten- ed by the fact that twelve men will report for first practice. Amon, them are Kaw, Carey, Leichler, Wahl, backs; Munns and Gouinlock, ends; Drayton, Dodge, Goetz, Knauss, Kay and Ebersole, linemen. Other men expected to rpeort are: Rollo, star baseball pitcher; Hanson, wrestler, and Marshall, Olney and Calleson, oarsmen. ————e JUNO PACES FAST. POUGHKEEPSIE, N.

SCALES AT 192 POUNDS BY FAI RPLAY. (Copyright, 1921.) N tips the beam now at 192 pounds, EW YORK, August 25—The way Tom Gibbons keeps growing he will be bigger than Jeffries and Dempsey combined if he doesn’t watch out. Eddie Kane, Tom’s manager, says that his meal ticket and is hard at that. He has been cutting trees and chasing wombats or other wild game in northern Minnesota, and is quite ready for his Labor day set-up at South Bend, Ind, one, Dan O'Dowd, being the fall guy. Kane says that Tom will be ready for Dempsey this winter—which is taken to mean that the Minnesotan is losing hope of the Carpentier match. 80 is Tex Rickard, if the truth be told. Om the quiet word has come from Paris that Carpentier had the lining ripped out of him when he fought Dempsey. The body blows he re- celved on July 2 have done internal damage. Dempsey is a man killer and nothing less, and any one willing to take a purse in return for body wallops from the champion is earn- ing his money. Eddie MeGoorty, the Oshkosh middler, says that Mike Gibbons is not the only one who can come back. Eddle meets Gibbons on September 10 in a ten-round go, Omaha being the scene of festivities. In the mean- time McGoorty will keep busy. His next fight will be with Frankie Murphy in Atlanta, and August 29 he tles up with Johnny Kleach In Clove- Leo Flyon, matchmaker, says that if rough and tumble fighting were legal he would be willing to match Harry Darneille against almost any one. _But in a ring with set rules the Washington peeler is not there —not yet anyway. It's the old argu- ment of the pugilist against the rough and tumble fighter. Recently in a cafe fight a Jersey pugilist belabored a rough house artist until the unscientific mixer got in close. ‘They carried the Jersey boxer out feet first. | Both principals in the big middle- weight champlonship battle to be held in Jersey City on Labor day are now in this city undergoing final training. It s clear that Johnny Wilson will not again face the handi- cap of fat when he steps into the ring to face Bryan Downey. And there is no question that he will be a much more formidable con- tender for the Cleveland fighter than when the two last met. Looking him over, the impression is clear that already he is in good condition and in the ten days remaining before the battle he will undoubtedly work into as fine shape as ever in his career. Wilson is bigger than Downey and looks stronger. Rather than take {off weight Downey been obliged to build himself up, and it is dollars to doughnuts that he will not weigh more than 165 pounds when he enters the ring on Labor day. He will thus concede at least five pounds to the champion. Wherever Jack Dempaey goes there you will find Joe Benjamin, the Pacific coast lightweight, who is be- ing groomed to give Benny Leonard a battle for the lightweight cham- pionship in about a year. Benjamin is a fine type of boy, used to be one of Benny Leonard’s retinue and has studled the lightweight champion and knows all his tricks, his weak and strong points. He is carefully de- veloping his strength and his knowl- edge of boxing and biding the day when he will come forth as a splen- didly equipped contender for the title. NAVY HAS FINE OUTLOOK FOR WINNING GRID TEAM tween Princeton and the Naval Academy will be the first big g NNAPOLIS, August 25.—The foot ball game here on October 15 be- contest of the fall, and will angles. be of special interest from several In view of the strong opponents which both of these will meet at a later date, the outcome of the contest probably will have consid- erable bearing on the collegiate supremacy for the season. Princeton will play Harvard, Yale and Chicago, while the Midshipmen will meet Pennsylvania State and the Military _Academy. These contests should afford a line on all the big foot ball institutions of the country, with the exception of California. It is recognized that Princeton and Penn State games will give the Navy team the best chance it ever had to secure a high rating. Anxious to Climb Ladder. Naval people are keenly anxious for the academy to assume a position in foot ball on a plane with its showing in other branches. Somehow, it has fallen a little short in the gridiron game, and it is admitted that the Naval Academy can never be recog- nized as the leading athletic college until its position in foot ball is as- sured.” Unusual strength is indicated for both teams next fall. Princeton sus- tained some serious losses by gradua- tion, but has in Lourie, halfback, and Keck, tackle and captain-elect, all- America players as a nucleus. ‘The Naval Academy loses only Moore and Willkle, guards, and Ewen, an end. It has four veterans on the line and a most remarkable aggregation of " backfleld men, including all the regulars of last year. King and Bolles, powerful and ex- perienced tackles; Larson, a clever and magnetic center, who has been elected captain, and Parr, left end. are the veterans of the line. Already, Frawley, stroke of the champion eight, and Long, Swarthmore guard last season, have been picked as the probable varsity guards, and there are a host of other good men for these positions and the vacant end. Great Array of Backs. It s felt here that the Navy will have as strong backfield material as any college in the country. Last sea- son the backfield was strong, but lacking in experience. This year every regular is again avallable and nearly every one of the substitutes. Those who started the Army game last season, all of them still in the academy, are Koehler, Hamilton, Mc- Kee and Conroy, while Noyes was given a place late in the contest. Koehler is one of the best men in the country for making the most of his openings, while Conroy and Noyes have the promise of becoming great running backs. McKee is a steady ground gainer, and Hamilton is a big fellow, a fine plunger and powerfui defense player. Of the others, Rawl- ings and Barchet are the best, and there are a dozen others who should be of varsity caliber. i il L ouve Struck ~ 1t Kig I t when you Lighta CAMEL ‘Your tasfe will tell you that!
