SPORT S. 15 Dempsey Will Face Quiz on Return : Houben of Germany Proves Real Sprinter, CHAMPION TO BE ASKED AS TO RING INTENTIONS s Some Close Friends Declare He Is Through With Fighting, But Statements of Wife Prior to Going Abroad Were to Contrary. BY FAIR PLAY. EW YOR N July 10—~When Jack Dempsey’s voyage over the bound- ing waves is completed and the big steamship Homeric is warped into her dock, the champion will run into a barrage of questions such as no heavyweight king has ever faced. There is the feeling that something is in the air concerning the heavy- weight situation and all the managers and scribes and hangers-on gen- erally are on their toes. Rumor connects Gene Tunney’s cancellation of all matches which had heen arranged for the next few months with Dempse; Then Flo1 Fitzsimmons went over to Europe. supposedly to interest his old pal Dempsey in a Michigan City project in which Bartley Madden was to tackle the champion this Summer. What success he has had no one on this side of the water has heard. ¥loyd evidently has avoided a cable office the way he would duck a small- pox shanty Some of Dempsey's closest friends say he is out of fighting and that the next sport he will take up will he polo or rackets, or something gentlemaniy and polite. But the person who ought to be more closely acquainted with the champlon’s plans than any one, name- lv, his wife, does not seem to have the idea that her stalwart hub is go- ing to retire from the ring. future plans. “Jack,” she was quoted as saying to a family friend before sailing abroad, course T expect him to fight.” Indeed, if .all that Mrs. Dempsey is supposed fo have said prior to her salling is true, the person who will be chiefly instrumental in furthering a fight between the champion and Harry Wills will be the champlon’s wife. She gets very temperamental when any one alleges, infers, intimates or directly charges that her, fizhting negro. tackle Wills, one thing is certain—he would be taking an awful risk with his title were he to accept a combat with Wills before he had at least two fights tucked under his belt.

It has been decided by the club to change these weekly races from Tues- day to Sunday, as it is thought that a greater number of girls would be able to compete on the latter day. This change will take effect Sunday, July 18, according to)an announcement made by Florence Skadding, vice presi- dent of the Capitolites. The first group of girls bound for Camp Bradley, the Girl Scout Camp, on Gunpowder River, in Maryland, will leave Washington tomorrow morning, accompanied by a chaperon.

The list includes Russell Lloyd, 205 pounds, from Peddie; Pgpl L. Woern- er. from Swarthmore, and Thomas A. Wilson of Ann Arbor High School, whose weight is 195 pounds each. Lloyd, besides being a crack foot ball and basket ball player, is the best schoolboy fleld and track man in New Jersey, holding the State records for both hurdles and the shoutput. He also gi promise as a boxer and a swimmer.

No. 5.~The Back Stroke. This stroke fis used for resting when tired from the more strenuous strokes, and also used in some forms of life saving. Learn the leg movement first. It is well to practice this first on the floor at home. While lying on your back draw your legs up, feet to- gether and knees as far apart as possible. Then extend them, the legs straight and far apart, forming a “Y."” Then snap the legs together firmly, taking care to keep the knees stiff. The count for this explains itself— Up, out, together. ! Then comes the arm movement. “Up” means to draw your arms up, with the hands at the pit of the arms and elbows sticking out from the body slightly. On *out” extend the arms upward and outward (see diagram), with the elbows stiff and palms toward your feet, fingers closed. On “together” pull your arms firmly to your sides, with elbows stiff, with a motion like the sweep of an oar. Repeat. Now place the arm and leg move- ments together. On ‘“‘up” draw up both arms and legs. Extend them on “out” and snap them firmly but smoothly into place, arms at sides and legs together on “together.” This last part of the stroke is where you | should use the force. Use slow but forceful strokes, permitting yourself to glide through the water as far as possible each time. Tomorrow—The Breast Stroke. TIP FOR nsnznfix. HARPERS FERRY, W. Va.

The mixed doubles crown was won yesterday by Louise Kelley and Tom Mangan, who tri- fuimphed over Delphine Heyl and John Temple Graves in an interesting three-set match, 6—4, 3—6, 6—2. The feature of the mixed doubles was the brilliant play of Mangan, last year's mixed doubles champion with Lilllan Rixey, and the game fight put up by Graves despite an injured ankle. Mangan's accurate net smashes and powerful forehand drives were the principal factors in the victory. Miss Kelley gave him adequate support in the back court. Neither of the Graves-Heyl team advanced to the net consistently, and this proved their undoing. It offered Mangan the opportunity to drive them out of position for finishing placement shots. Much interest centers around the final singies match today, as neither of the players has previously cap- tured the District title, although Miss Krucoff was runner-up in 1924, at which time she was defeated by Marywill Wakeford in a close match. |PLAY IS CONTINUED hubby"is disinclined to meet the big | IN JUNIOR NET EVENT Hugh McDiarmid, Gebrge French, Kip Callan, Joe Noell and Milton Baker, triumphed this morning in their first matches of the tennis tour- nament belng staged at Dumbarton Club courts for the junior champion- ship of the District.

Sur s g ELEANOR GOSS WINS OVER MARY BROWNE EAST PROVIDENCE, R. I, July 10 (®).—The biggest upset of the annual Rhode Island tennis championships occurred yesterday when Eleanor Goss tof New York, No. 4 in the national ranking, eliminated Mary K. Browne of California, who is No. 2, in straight sets, 6—2, 8—6. Mrs. Molla Mallory narrowly es caped defeat at the hands of Mrs. Marion Z. Jessup, but won, 3—8§, 6—0, 8—6. These matches were semi-finals. Miss Goss' hard driving, aggressive net play and strong service was too much for Miss Browne, who was forced far back in court throughout the match. Mrs. Mallory made a great rally when the score stood one set each, and she tralled Mrs. Jessup, 5—1, in the last set. She reeled off the next six games, with Mrs. Jessup never get- ting above 30 points. The last survivor of the Japanese trio—T. Harada—was elimlnated in both the singles and doubles. Arnold Jones of -Providence, captain of the Yale tennis team, defeated Harada, 6—4, 6—4, In the singles. The West- ern Collegiate doubles team of Chand- ler and Stow defeated Harada and \s‘f_r‘l Fischer of Cynwyd, Pa., 6—3, feat, played great tennis in mixed doubles, palred with Cranston Hol- man, 18-year-old Californian, who was beaten in the singles by Edward Chandler, 6—4, 6—2. They put out Chandler and 'Miss Anderson, 6—3, 9—7, and then eliminated W. T. Til- den and Florence Ballin, 6—2, 7—5. In the men’s singles Alfred H. Cha- pin, jr.

Nothing came of that, but some remar! able things happened during the trip; among them this unusual round, of which I will tell you. The name of the man who played it escapes me. However, he was one of the players who qualified in the championship and started the first round. In this round—of 18 holes—he shot a total of five 2s. Did you ever hear of such a thing? In two cases, he laid his tee shot dead to the pin on short holes and | holed easy putts for birdies. But on three other holes the par was 4 and he got eagle 25 by sinking mashie second shots. Imagine doing this latter stunt three times in 18 holes! But here Is the strange thing about it all. h He lost his match and dropped out of the tournament! ‘When he wasn't making birdies and eagles he was playing the wildest kind of golf and his opponent had rather an easy time of it. Seldom, however, does anything like this happen in a championship. The first tee of the Nassau Country Club used to be close to the sixteenth green, and both the tee and the’green were in plain view of the clubhouse. 1 was standing by the first tee one afternoon when one of those freakish shots which you are not likely to see more than once in a lifetime was pulled off. It was witnessed also by a number of persons sitting on the club- house porch or on their way down to the first tee to start matches. A player coming up the sixteenth fairway pitched for the green, but played his ball with much more power than was necessary, so that it ap- peared bound for rough territory at the rear of the green, with a recovery shot over a trap to get back to the green necessary. However, a robin flew over at just the right moment. The ball hit and killed the bird and then dropped dead two feet from the cup. The man sank his putt for birdie 3. 21 YOUNG ATHLETES ANNEX TEST BADGES Following a track and fleld meet conducted at Brookland playground yesterday by Dan Fahey and Ethel Flaherty, directors, 21 youthful ath- letes were awarded hadges for having successfully passed the first tests pre- scribed by the playground department.

WOULD MAKE CREWS ENTER RACE YEARLY By~the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 10.—Possibility that there will be a far-reaching change in the rules governing the American rowing classic at Pough- keepsie another year is seen in a story published by the Cornell Alumn{ News, offictal organ of one of the In- tercollegiate Rowing Association’s strongest member: The Alumni News say “It was suggested before and after the regatta, that while the stewards might well stick to the policy of open- ing the regatta to all comers, the con ditions be {mposed that crews accept | ing the_invitation enter every year. This, it was agreed, would be fairer and more sporting.” Since the war the United States Na val Academy and University of Wash- ington crews have monopolized first places at Poughkeepsie, but the real crushing blow fell only a few weeks ago, when Navy was first, Washing- ton second and Wisconsin third—all “outsiders.” From sources near to the rowing authorities of the universities repre- sented in the intercollegiate associs tion, which includes Cornell, Penn: vania, Columbia and Syracuse, it is learned that there is no complaint against the Navy, Washington and other guests so far as victories go, but it is felt that these institutions | should guarantee entrance at Pough- | keepsie every year, or become mem bers of the association. It is contended that the custom has | been to send Navy and Washinaton crews into the regatta only when they had demonstrated that their chances for a sweep of the Hudson were ex- ceptionally good, and that in their poor vears they were among the miss- ing, giving crews representing mem- ber institutions little chance to avenge defeats.

VIENNA, July 10 (®).—Count Eud- wig Salm-Hoogstratten has been sus- pended indefinitely by the Austrian Tennis League.

Plenty of American sprinters have run the hundred in this time or faster, so it will be gathered that Houben has as yet done nothing to suggest that he is to the sprints what Nurmi is to the distance specialties. On a postal card received from Loren Murchison the other day was the statement that the traveling pair of fiyers had arrived in Europe from the Far East after 32 days aboard ship.
