Johnston-Richards Tennis Clash Should Thrill : Dundee and Terris Will Fight WILL MEET IN FAREWELL LITTLE BILL DETERMINED TO REGAIN LOST PRESTIGE _ Practicing on Coast for Drive in East and Is Sure to Seek Scalp of Yonkers Youth Who Was Ranked Ahead of Him in 1924. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, April 21.—Aside N pared for the Summer campaign in will be the rallying cry of the tennis from a tournament in Berkeley in February Bill Johnston has.not gone in for Winter tennis matches. But he has been practicing right along and will be adequately pre- the East. Johnston versus Richards enthusiasts this Summer. In past years William Tilden, the champion, has been the objective, and, of course, he still is in a way, but primarily Little Bill is gunning for Vincent Richards. Johnston does not say this, of course. There is no one less given to talking about tennis competition than the Californian, but his friends be- lieve and do not hesitate to say that the great duels of the Summer sea- son will be between Richards and Johnston. There is no more popular figure In the tennis world than Bill John- ston. His lack of ostenation, his willingness to make his money out of business—he is in a bank in San Francisco—and not out of tennis, his aloofness from anything that smacks of self-advertising have long placed him in the minds of tennis followers generally as the ideal amateur sports- man. There was disappointment in the East and down right indignation on the West Coast when little Bill was removed from the Davis cup singles in favor of Richards, and later rated at No. 3, with Richards at No. 2, in the national ranking. But these setbacks had at least one good result; they influenced Johnston not to retire from tourna- ment play and to participate in the important tournaments this year in an effort to re-establish his prestige in official quarters. Johnston would be the last one to say that the Davis cup committee and the rankMmg committee of the + United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion went out of their way to press him down in their selections. In fact, no one could say this justifiably, for Richards made a better show- ing against Tilden in the all-comers than did Johnston and Vinnie beat Johnston in the East versus West matches following the national championships last year. Richards also gained prestige in the Olympic matches. So, all in all, since those who select teams for the great international series and who rank players must apply cold, hard judgment devoid of sentiment to their tasks, Richards’ preference could hardly be questioned. But 1925 will be another season, and with Johnston coming East in excel- lent condition, as he will do, and conducting himself with judgment as to how much tennis he shall play, there is not the slightest reason why he should not make several thrilling bids for his old laurels as, at least, runner up to Tilden. BASE BALL IS GAINING FOOTHOLD IN ARGENTINA By the Associated Press Base ball has at last gained a place among Argentine sports, though as vet a small one. Two teams composed of natives have been organized, coach- ed by Americans, one representing the Buenos Aires Y. M. C. A., the other the Gymnasium and Fencing Club, the principal athletic club of Buenos Aires. Increasingly large numbers of spec- | S tators watch the games, which they play with each other, with teams of American residents and with one team of Japanese residents. They fleld and bat well, but have yet to develop pitchers able to fool their American or Japanese opponents often enough to win a game from them. ADOPT STRICT RULES.

BOSTON, _April (“Chuck") Mellor, cago mechanic, yesterday American marathon. Running against a bitter northwest wind that blew diagonally across the course, in a temperature that hovered close to the freezing point, Mellor covered the 26 miles 385 yards from Hopkinton to Boston in 2 hours, 33 minutes and 3-5 of a second. His time was only 3 minutes and 20 2-5 seconds slower than the record set for the distance last year by Clarence H. Demar. The victory carried with it the National Amateur Athletic Union marathon champion- ship. Demar, 37-year-old Melrose, Mass., typesetter, who four times has cap. tured the marathon, finished just 362-5 seconds behind who wore the colors of the Athletic Club. Third was Zuna, Newark plumber and winner. Fourth was Albert Michel- sen, Eastport-Chester, N. Y., veteran runner. . For Mellor the victory came as a reward for long-continued effort. The Chicagoan raced in the mara- thon in 1917, and came in fifth. He tried again in 1921, and finished sec- ond, behind Frank Zuna. He raced once more in 1924, and again finished second, following Demar to the tape. At one time Mellor all but dropped out from a sudden weakness which, however, he shook off.

SISLER HITTING. George Sisler, St. Louis star, has his eye on the ball this season. The Browns’ pilot, who suffered with his sight two years ago, has made onc or more hits in every game. THE CALL OF THE OUTDOORS BY WILL H. DILG, President Izaak Walton League of America. eron Shafer, writing of Chinese Forest Life. So powerful are their legs and I T is remarkable what wounds these birds will survive, says Don Cam- pheasants in American Forests and so well developed their brains that “winged” cocks, unable to fly, often survive for years. Sometimes these broken bones heal and they fly again after a fashion. Often old shot is found in them. One may figure that they are almost as hard to kill as a duck, although they have no such protective armor of feathers. Winter sports are now in full swing in the Rocky Mountain National Park, Colo. ? " About this time the snow is at its maximum depth, while the bitter cold of Midwinter has passed and the temperature is milder. Shelter cabins, ski trails and tobog- gan runs have been provided for Win- ter visitors, and skiing, snowshoeing, tobogganing, skating and hiking are thoroughly enjoyed. Just at this writing the annual out- ing of the Colorado Mduntain Club is in progress. The total travel to the park for the month. will probably reach over 2,000. The value of furs, exclusive of fur seal, shipped out of Alaska for the year 1924 amounted to- $1,707,834, ac. cording to figures compiled by the Biological Survey. A total of 286,347 skins were report- ed shipped. Mink, numbering 39,356, led all others in value, at $334,526; red for skins, numberirg 13,3538 were next, at $267,060; others in -order of value were: White fox, { ng ' the te: 5,743, at $229,162; muskrat, number- ing 194,053, at $194,053; marten (trap- ped 1928), numbering 6,019, at $150,. 475, and beaver ‘(trapped 1923), num- bering 5,713, at $114,260. The most notable decrease in skins shipped out during 1924 as compared with 1923 was in muskrats, which showed a fall- ing off of 25,558, One of the notable increases was in blue fox skins, which showed a gain of 810. Of skins hav- ing a lesser value mink shipments in- creased by 18,688 over last year. The last of the old frontiers, where game laws have never entered, has passed. Alaska now has a game and fish commission, and all fish and game there is now subject to regulations, just as they are in any State of the Union. Even Alaska has felt the de- pletion of wild life. This step is a sig- nificant one. TENNIS STAR SUSPENDED. LONDON, April 21.—S. M. Jacob, member of the all-Indian Davis cup tennis team, has been suspended from all tournament play until further no- tice. This action followed a contro- versy over the payment of expenses for the trip of a tennis team, of which Jacob was a member, to Paris last year.

He traced the game back to Sparta, and said the present-day forward pass is merely a development of a style of play used centuries ago. Describing ““Red” Grange, his cele- brated halfback, as “just as much an artist as a man or woman who paints on canvas or writes,” Zuppke held the fleet halfback up as one of the great- est symbols of clean living in the land. “A” long run by Grange,” he said; “is just as artistic as a dance by Pavlowa. There is the same rhythm in “Red’s” soul. The only difference is that he expresses it on a gridiron instead of on the stage. There may be even more art in Red—no one tried to knock Pavlowa down.” Speaking of present-day athletics, Zuppke said: “We are now in the stadilum age, an age that will be of inestimable benefit to the country. On one hand we have the mammoth sta- dium expressing sportsmanship in its | highest degree—on the other the slush novel, the lounge lizard and the flapping trousers. Take your choice!” SANDLOTTERS WILL HOLD MASS MEETING TONIGHT D ciation and to hear plans outlined for the coming season and the annual field day that is to be held on May 9 at American League Park.

Shorey and Houghton led by 2 holes at the conclusion of the first half of the 36-hole match. None of the quartet scored well in the high wind which swept across the lowlands from the river, although Cooney and Shorey had approximate cards of 78 in the afternoon.
