AMERICA IS DEPENDING ON TILDEN TO REPEL ANZAC INVASION STANFORD ABANDONS . ALL HOPE OF ROWING IN 1923 SEASON Beat Patterson Today Strength of Tilden and Johnson in Singles Gives America, Holder of Davis Cup, Heavy Edge in Trophy Clash Which Opens at Forest Hills REST HILLS, L. 1, Sept. 1.—With Vincent Richards depended upon mainly as a cog in the doubles machine, and William M. Johnson yanking as slightly under William Tilden II as a singles star, American hopes of successfully defending the Davis Cup matches, which opens here today, are believed to depend mainly upon the latter, who is the national singles champion and joint holder of the doubles honors with Vincent Richards. Champion Favored to | Today, in the opening sing! Experts before the matcli looked upon Tilden as an almost certain winner over Patterson, and Johnson ‘was a heavy favorite over Anderson. While the Americans, due to their very evident superiority in singles, are expected to beat the Australians without being severely extended, In case the great Tilden cracks—which is unlikely in the extreme—Johnson | is regarded as strong enough to save} the day. “Little Bill" has shown better form this year than he demonstrated in 1971. Unable to take Tilden's Measure last year, Johnson beat the champion early this spring in the West. When in form, the Califor nian Is rated by many experts as the greatest singles player since Maurice McLoughlin. Much is expected of Vincent Rich- ards, the boy wonder, in the doubles. In preparation for the international classic, Richards and Tilden have gone thru early season tourneys to- gether, and have waded thru the op- Position successfully, altho Sf times pressed. Their experience working together has given + aa marvelous co-ordination in both at- tack and defense, If the Americans win both singles Matches, the issue of the tourney will hardly be longer tn doubt, as the Tepresentatives of the Antipodes must epring an upset in the singles In order to stand a chance in the event in which they will present the greatest strength—the doubles play It ts predicted here that Vincent Richards may be given a chance to show his caliber in the final sing match, if Williams and Johnson cin the cup by taking the first three con- teats. In case of an upset in one of the eartier clashes, however, it is certain ‘that the more experienced stars will Play thru to the doubles sets. ervcial series for the caliar took two from the Phils, 6-4 Wheat's homer Robins took ¢ the Giants, 7 to 4. great catch robbed King of « with the bases filled. and the second straight from William Wrigley is going to build @ new ball park in Los Angeies and says there'll be no signs on the out- field fences.

Amateur Golfers |American “Simon Pure” Championship Tourney Opens Tomorrow BY HENRY L. FARRELL N*®* YORK, Sept. 1.—One hun- dred and forty-nine of the best | golfers from England, Canada and the United States will start play to- morrow in the annual American am- | ateur championship, at Brookline, Mass, While it is the most representative field that ever played for the title, it is not numerically as strong as in the | past, ag 30 players were denied entry | because of the new handicapping basis of entrance requirements. The first qualifying round of 18 holes will be played tomorrow, and the lowest 64 scores and ties will play the second elimination test on Mon- day, at 36 holes. The 32 best scores and ties will start in the champion ships proper on Tuesday. Among the prominent entries are Jesse P. Guilford, champion; Chick Evans, Bobby Jones, Francis Ouimet, Jesse Sweet- ser, Robert A. Gardner, Henry Top- ping, Rudolph Knepper, Nelson Whitney, R. E. Hunter, W. C. Fownes and H. C. Fownes and Gar- diner W. Whit: IT’S ALL CLEAR TO COMMISSION NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—Another of the monotonous chaing of boxing in- vestigations is in progress, “Tut” Jackson. who was kayoed by Harry Wills in the third round of a bout here this week, was discovered to weight about 145 pounds and to be five feet 10 inches tall, reas he was billed to scale 200 and tower higher than six feet. The commis sion is now convinced that Jackson | was a set-up for Wills, and put on with bim for the purpose of taking a healthy dig at the purses of the fistic fans.

IN. Y. State Boxing Commission Is Funny | Says Brennan Can Fight Champ If He'll First Lick Miske; Wills Must Go Easy or Get Hurt Before He and Dempsey Take the Mob’s Money BY SEABURN BROWN OXING commissions are entitled to the sym- pathy of the public and the tolerance of the gods. They are the goats for everything that ore wrong with the fight game and receive ittle credit for much of the good they do, but the gentlemen that function in that office for the justly celebrated state of New York have a few ideas that are genuinely and originally Wii pon d Jack D , i rennan and Jac empsey were che a halted in the midst of preparktions for a championship bout, to have been held in that commonwealth not so long ago, on the grounds that Brennan was a set-up for Dempsey. Now, a wire from Gotham announces that these gentlemen |} can fight there for the title, on the condition that Brennan | first go out and “beat Billy Miske or some other good heavy-| weight.” Since becoming champion, Dempsey has fought both Miske | and Brennan. Miske was a child in the hands of the burly, champion, and was half-killed in three rounds. Brennan | slugged toe-to-toe with Dempsey and gave him the battle of his career before listening to the referee compute time in the 12th round, Truly, the New York boxing commission goes thru a series’ of mystifying mental processes in arriving at conclusions on! for titular honors! Wonder If, in case that Tex Rickard makes an effort to put on Dempsey and Harry Wills in New York, the commiaston will suggest that the Black Panther first mingle with “Billy Miske or some other good heavyweight?” ‘Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished, as Shakespeare said in one of his movie senarios. Obviously, Wills is being “smoked up” for a title fight thru knocking over a fleet of set-ups of his own color. The public will have a far worse fiasco foisted upon its good nature if Willa fights Dempsey than if Brennan takes another crack at the Utah Mauler. If Wille had to fight Brennan, Mike, Harry Greb and Tommy Gibbons before being considered as a championship contender, he just naturally wouldn't be considered at all. He'd have about as much chi > get by those four gents as the Red Sox have to pass the Browns this season | If the boxing commission fs anxious to have the best man of the lot fight Dempsey, and the promoters are anxious to rake in more lucre, and the fight public is weary of this jockeying of fighters and bull-conning by press agents, why not have a pleasant little elimination tourney, right in New York, between the challengers who want to fight for the title, with the idea that the survivor meet Jawn Harrison? | It would take but a couple of nights, a month apart, to fix it. Brennan could fight Wills, and Miske could meet Greb, and the finalists could settle | it after resting up for a few weeks. Or, simpler still, let the above-mentioned lade get together, and have Dempsey take them all on, one after the other, in the same ring on the same evening. He'd kayo them all and have it over with But that would never do! Champions and contenders must live—and such @ turn of affairs would mean an end to the big purses; and the ba-| biex of numerous sparring partners, trainers, press agents, ticket scalpers and managers would go without shoes!
