Hadley Stops White Sox. In the next setto, however, they | fell upon Ted Blankenship and the' Jeft-handed Bert Cole for 8 runs in| the second inning, and that was much mnore than enough for them behind the excellent slabbing put forth by Irving Hadley. Lisenbee yielded a pass and four hits before he could get a batter out of the way in the opening fray of the initial clash. After the first re- tirement behind him, he was relieved by. Bob Burke, southpaw, and Bob went through six and two-thirds rounds, in which he alowed four safe- Thers was much action crowded #nto the opening inning of the first game. Both the ball and the plate were given rough treatment by the contending clubs, but the White Sox managed to hang up four runs, ‘while three tallies were all credited to the Vationals. B‘Lll!nbe. ‘began his slabbing by passing Flaskamper. A double from Kamm's bat moved Flaskamper to third, from where he counted when Metzler singled. When Falk bounced e triple off the right-field fence two more White Sox runs were registered and Reynolds’ grounder that bounded by the dazed Judge to right for two bases meant the fourth score of the frame. After Judge grabbed Ward's hot one and barely beat the batter to the bag, Lisenbee was relleved by Burke and the lefthander stopped the White Sox cold. Nationals Come Back. Nationals did their scoring after two were out, although Rice walked and was singled to third 'by Harris before a retirement occurred. It was the second out, Goslin's loft to Falk, that let R!ctetl‘-lly and Harris reach the middle station. Ju‘s‘zg:: single scored his boss and Ruel's one-baser advanced Judge to ihe far corner.

But Joe tried to get home when Bluege rified a one-baser to left and was flagged at the big base by Falk's fine throw. The White Sox finally got to Burke for a run after two were out in the seventh. 7 Then Kamm singled and raced to the plate when Metzler laced a three-bagger to deepest right-center field. e 3 In their half of this inning, the Na- tionals filled the bases following two retirements with singles by Rice and Harris and Ward's bobble of Speaker's grounder, but Goslin skied to Reynolds. The White Sox, though, came back in the eighth, when Marberry started pitcher, for another marker. Reynolds singled and so did Ward, the latter’s hit being a bunt down the third-base line.

But be- fore he got out of the round, Blank- enship had allowed three passes, as well as the two hits and the Nation- als were four runs to the good, with three men on the runway. Hitting by the Nationals was gen- eral. All except the pitchers drove the ball to safety in the first part of the double-header and in the second part Sam Rice was the only one of the home clan to go without a safety. For an inning and a half the second game was a very quiet affair, but it blew up with a roar in the latter part of the second session. The Nationals batted around and then some, four of them going to the plate twice while chasing Blankenship' to the shower and pummeling Cole. Six safeties and three walks came their way. Th with an error, netted them eight runs. Goslin began the rousing round with a walk and Judge also strolled. Tate singled Goslin home and after Ward speared Bluege's liner, Blankenship fozzled Hayes' hot shot long enouzh to let the bases fill. Hadley scored two with a line-single to left and was forced out by Rice, but a pass to Har- ris again crowded the stations. That brought Cole to Blankenship’s relief. Cole had a count against Speaker. when the latter poled the ball to left- center while all runners were under way. The hit was good for two bases and three mors runs went over. Gos- lin, up for the second time in the in- ning, singled Spoke home, while the Goose scored when successive hits by Judge and Tate followed. Only a spectacular diving catch of Bluege's liner by Reynolds ended the orgy. The White Sox got te Hadley for their first hit and only run in the fourth. Two were out when Metzler dragged a bunt by the pitcher for a single. Hadley feil heavily when try- ing to fleld the slap and evidently felt the effects of the tumble when he re- | turned to the box. Barrett lined a | single to left, sending Metzler to third, and scampered to second as Goslin threw to the far corner. Then Had- | ley cut loose a wild pitch to Reynolds | {and Metzler tallied. In round five, the Nationals chalked | up their ninth marker. Bluege’s hit | that crashed against. the open stand back of left-center for three bases and Hadley's slashing single to right accounted for the run. Ward's Errors Aid. Some fuzzy fielding by Ward helped the Nationals toward a tally in the seventh. Aaron's fumble gave Tate a life at the outset of the session and after Bluege skied out Hayes' hit ad- vanced Tate a base. Kamm took Hadley's grounder and with a doubl play in sight heaved to Ward. The second sacker fumbled and the bases were filled. As Rice forced out Had- ley, Tate scored. McNeely blazed the way to the Nationals’ last run when he opened the eighth inning with a single.

Tilden, however, was the more tragle figure of the two American veterans. Big Bill had drilled himself for his greatest fight through months of constant competition. Always a dramatist, he had set the scenes for a_ final comeback by his sensational play of the two days be-| fore. He knew that American hopes rested almost entirely on his gaunt frame snd appeared inspired by jt. He was the favorite over Lacoste be- | of his previously exhibited form. But at only rare intervals today did Tilden reach the heights he had known before. The dynamic service that had swept all before it for two days lost its explosive force rapidly as the match progressed. ‘Where it was irresistible yesterday.

As America’s official spokesman, Julian 8. Myrick of New York, chair- man of the Davis cup committee, said: “Victory went to a great team. We played our best but the French played better. May God bless the cup and may it rest safely in their hands.” The massive silver bowl, with its accompanying platter, added to the original donation by Dwight F. Davis to make room for additional inscrip- tions, will start its journey to France next Saturday in the custody of M. Gillou.. Cochet decided today to re- main for the American singles championship next week, along with Lacoste, who will defend the title, and Jacques Brugnon. FOUR NATIONS NOW HAVE WON DAVIS CUP GERMANTOWN CRICKET CLUB, Philadelphia, September 10 (P). France is the fourth nation to win the Davis Cup since it was put into competition in 1900 by Dwight F. Davis, then one of America’s vouns playing stars and now Secretary of War. Previously three nations—America, monopolized possession of the famous tennis trophy. Through the seven vear stretch of triumph engineered by Tilden and Johnston, the United States took the lead and has won the cup 10 times. _Ausiralia held it 6 times and England 5. It has been 15 years since the trophy last went to Europe in Britain’s hands through a victory over Australia in the 1912 challenge round. France first entered the competi- tion in 1904, but did not reach prom- inence until the rise of its new crop of stars since the war. They got as far as the interzone finals in 1924, hut lost to Australia. They reached the challenze round for. the first time in 1925, repeating in 1526 and again this year.

Tommy Hitcheock, leading the ter- rific drive of the winners, showed the way by scoring six goals. Until late in the game, when he seemed to thirk that he could leave well *nough alore and rest on his laurels, he was every where, driving the amazingly long shots which have made him " mous many of the smashing rallops ending their flisht at or near the goal. The sensational Hitchcock 1us been sick of late and his indisposition had kept him out of much of the play preliminary to the internation.l matches which caused spectators to suggest that if he is sick his «p- ponents would do well to ‘iope that he would not play on one of his well day: Two of Hitchcock's drives for dis- tant goals brought the crowd up stand- ing. He scored one goal from ap- proximately 150 yards away. Milburn Close Up. Close behind Hitchcock was Dev- ereaux Milburn, veteram captain of the Araericans, whose hard riding and clever work, both on defense and offensive, caused Lord Cowdray of Hurlingham Club, where polo has been played since 1873, to remark: “It's the Milburn of 15 years ago. Malcolm Stevenson and J. Watson Webb could not keep up with their fast moving colleagues. Possibly, no two polo players could have kept the pace, but they played great polo nev- ertheless. Stevenson started with a rush while Webb, under way a trifle slower, was in his full stride at the close, With two goals in the first chuk- ker and two more in the third to one for the British, the second period be- ing scoreless, the challengers seemed fairly stunned as the Americans ran out three in the fourth and rode away for the half intermission lead- ing seven to one.

There may be a third game. You cannot tell.” The cup possession is decided by two victories, and if the Americans win the second game Wednesday it will not be necessary to play a third Perfect weather conditions greeted the opening of the international sea- son.

LINCOLN FIELD, Crete, Il, Sep- tember 10.—Just as a bolt of lightning ripped across the Lincoln FRelds race track and a clap of thunder shook the stands, Jack Dempsey today settled the feathered headpiece of the Black- feet Indians on his brow and became “Thunder Chief” of the Pikuni Tribe from the Glacier Park Reservation. Twenty-seven Indians, headed by Chief Two - Guns - White - Calf, who posed for the head of the Buffalo nickel, joined in the dance about the former heavyweight champion, while the leader solemnly girded Dempsey bronzed throat with a necklace of |eagle claws '‘and chanted the glories of the new tribal chieftain, “a power- ful bird who. flies high.” Dempsey, who claims that blood of the Utah Cherokees flows in his veins, then joined the war dance, mixing the ceremony a bit at times to do a little shadow hoxing. Then, with the former title holder &tanding by, Tex Rickard, promoter of Dempsey’s come-back bat- tlo with Gene Tunney September 22 | became “Little Chief” and Jim Jef- frics, heavyweight champion of other decades, was crowned “Big Bear Chief,” Dempsey's wife, Estelle Tay- lor, and Mrs. Rickard witnessing the | ceremony. Somewhere in the excitement Leo P. Flynn, manager of the former title- holder, was forgotten fn the cere- monies. The camp followers imme- diately organized a rival coronation, and with fitting ceremony and a trick By the Associated Press, LAKE VILLA, 111, September 10.— The peace and quiet that has reigned through Gene Tunney's training camp for the past three days, due to the in- jury to his right eye, was broken to- day when the world heavyweight champien resumed training, boxing five rounds with two sparring mates. - The champion's judsment of dis- tance, timing of punches and general execution was almost perfect. He missed occasionally with a right cross, but his left was working perfectly and his defensive work was almost im- pregnable. The fay-off in training had, no ef- fect on the champion, because he was more impressive today than he was in either of his two previous pub- lic workouts. Gene affected a white patch over his damaged right eye when he climbed into the ring, and it was still there when he left, despite the efforts of his sparring partners to knock it off. He was so much pleased with his condition that he decided to work again tomorrow with the public admitted for the usual $1.10. The champion boxed two fast rounds with Jackie Williams, Chica- go, heavyweight, and three with Billy Vidabeck. Willlams, boxing for the first time with Tunney, proved a very good sparring partner. He step- ped right in and traded wallops with Gene in the first round. For a few seconds he managed to give more than he received, but Gene finally got the range and, just before the round closed, connected with a straight lef! to the jaw, following it with a rigl cross that sent Jackie down to one knee. Jackie tired somewhat in the sec- ond, but kept on coming in, with Tunney outscoring him. The three rounds Tunney boxed with Vidabeck were & repetition of u%u that have “THUNDER CHIEF” DEMPSEY BOXES AFTER WAR DANCE nightcap, dubbed the “Chief Bushwah" (R. 1) reservation. The Indians looked on and scowled. Flynn later investigated Chief Two Guns’ credentials and branded him a fake, because he found no sign of a weapon on either hip. Lec expressed himself as against the entire cere- mory in view of what happened to Tom Gibbons, whom the same tribe claimed as a chieftain shortly before the bons fizht with Dempsey at Shelby, Mont., several years ago. The Indian ceremonial delayved Dempsey’s training until late in the afternoon, when the crowd that wit- nessed the coronations had departed. Jack worked out for seven rounds, boxing four after single sessions at the light and heavy bags and shadow exercise. Dempsey’s opponents were Rocky Russell, a Milwaukee amateur middle- weight, whom he knocked out in a minute; Allentown Joe Gans, Charles Schear. Benny Krueger and Osk Till. After finishing Russell with a voiley of left hooks to the chin, Jack prac- ticed evading left jabs the remainder of the drill and every one else es- caped heavy punishment. Although the session was brief, Dempsey appeared much faster today than in his last two workouts Thurs- day. His punches were short and well timed and he had little trouble weaving and bobbing away from the educated left hands of Gans and Till “Silver Fox™ of the Providence TUNNEY’S DEFENSE STOUT AS HE RESUMES TRAINING gone before. Tunney handled him about as he pleased, connecting when and wherever he desired. Before beginning his boxing, Tunney worked four rounds with the punching bags, two on the light and a similar num- ber on the heavy swinging target. The heat which Tunney encoun- tered bere after his arrival from Speculator. N. Y., has enabled him to reduce weight easier than he expect- ed. As a result he does not expect to weigh more than 188 pounds when he meets Dempsey. Tunney today received a telegram from Howard P. Savage, national Icommander of the American Legion. who sailed today for the Legion con- | vention in Paris. Savage regretted that Tunney was not able to take the trip, but said he knew the heay weight championship “would remain with you, a champion that the service men are proud o 4 DEMPSEY-TUNNEY BOUT:: IS TO START BY 10:P:M.
