ENTHUSIASM IS
LOW IN JERSEY
SCRAP MONDAY
Fans Fail to Go ‘Wild’ Over
Middleweight Bout Between
Wilson and Downey.
REFEREE COUNT TO RULE
0
NEW lORK, Sept. 3.—With ths re
formers In foil retreat and the referee
for the Wilson Downey middleweight
championship fight in Tex Rickard's
arena at Jersey City on Monday chosen,
there appears nothing left to do but watt
for the day of the big wind.
The reformers who aimed to stop the
bout hoisted the white flag Friday and
went back to their domestic affairs.
The New Jersey boxing commission
has refused to aecept Tex Rickard’s sug
gestion that the referee take his count
over a fallen boxer from the timekeeper,
■who either calls out or signals the sec
onds from his watch. Rickard holds
the referee-timer rule so important that
he will renew his plea to have the rule
Mn force Monday.
FANS SEEM TO
BE IX HIDIXG.
From all accounts there was no change
In the attitude of Downey and Wilson
today regarding what they believe w ! U
be the outcome of the Mondav match.
Neither one has packed up his duds
and scampered home fearing the out
come. It was another tough dav In
training. Old Sol and Veteran Humidity
held to their trenches and sent over a
barrage that forced every one to cover.
The attitude of the fans regarding the
coming battle appears to have changed
little. There is no great line standing
before the Garden pushing and pulling
so get up to the window for choice seats.
The ticket seller yawns and mens hi 9
heated brow, wishing the whole darn
thing was over. Many are of the candid
opinion that Tex Rickard wishes tb
same thing so he can count his loss and
get a fresh start.
According to those persons who seem
to be in the “know,” Tex guaranteed
Johnnv Wilson $40,000 and Bryan
Downey $22,000 for the little twelve
round affair. Tex will have to have a
whale of a crowd to come out even, and
from the looks of things the greatest
part of the gasg will be in the $2 seats.
Os course, they'll be where the Demp
sev-Carpentier fans raid S3O and $25,
and they'll think they have good seats.
GASP BOOT
A FEATURE.
A great part of the crowd which hot
foots it to Jersey City Monday is going
for the experience purely of seeing Mike
McTigue try to change the color of
Panama Joe Gans. When Rickard was
arranging the show he had Gans in
mind, but came near dismissing him,
because he was unable to find a suitable
opponent for the negro middleweight
title holder.
Right after McTigue knocked George
Robison cuckoo in four rounds in Cana
da. Rickard offered Mike the big Job of
tackling the negro. Tex easily remem
bered the great battle Robinson put up
with Gans in the Garden for fifteen
rounds. Considering that Mike stopped
George so readily, Tex figured the Irish
man could give the negro a battle.
Another interesting encounter will be
that betwen Tex Rickard's flyweight
champion. Johnny Buff, and Indian Kus
*ell of Harrisburg
The fact that Rickard has stated that
the championship belts presented by him
to Johnny Wilson and Johnny Buc can
not change hands on Monday unless the
present holders are knocked out presents
an added reason for Bryan Downey and
Indian Russell to put up good scraps.
Eolly Epstein of Indianapolis is not on
the card as at first p'anned.
Betting on the headliners remains at
a standstill. What little coin is offered
is at even money. The Bostonians along
the Rialto the other day seem to have
faded from sight during the warm
spelL They have probably found, a
rathskeller some place and are keeping
cool. A quick trip through the Forty-
Second and Broadway district Friday
afternoon failed so uncover any Downey
money.

YANKEES NEED
ONE MORE WIN
TO HOLD CUP
American Tennis Stars Grab
Big Lead Over Japs in
Trophy Play.
LENGLEN ON CARD TODAY
By JACK YEIOCK,
International News Sports Editor.
FOREST HILLS, L. 1., Sept. 3.—The
Davis cup will not go to Tokio.
America's dashing defenders of the
world-famous tennis trophy had this
point all but clinched *oday as a result
of two victories in the opening singles
matches Friday.
The American team now needs but one
more victory out of the three remaining
matches with the Japanese players, and
if R. Norris Williams and Watson Wash
burn win in the doubles this afternoon
the cup contest will be over.
The program today was originally ta
ken up with the doubles match between
the Williams-Washburn combination and
Kumagae and Shimidzu, but a specially
arranged mixed doubles avene with Mile
Lenglen playing the leading role seemed
destined to be the real attraction.
PAIRED WITH
YOUNG VINCENT.
The French champion, paired with Vin
cent Richards, was scheduled to meet
Mrs. May Sutton Bandy and Willis E.
Davis in an exhibition match. Mile.
Lenglen has recovered from the throat
affection that resulted in her default to
Mrs. Moll! B. Mallory In the recent wom
en's sing’es championship and has been
practicing- about a week.
The results of the opeumg Davis cup
matches yesterday follow:
William M. Johnston of San Francisco,
national champion in 1915 and 1919, de
feated Ichiya Kumagae in straight sets
at singles by scores of 6-2. 6-4. 6-2. Wil
liam T. TJden II of Philadelphia, present
American title holder, had a far more
difficult task in subduing Zenzo Shimid
2<i in a five set battle by scores of 5-7,
4 6,.7-5. 6 2, 6-1.
Johnston's defeat of Kumagae was the
result of more perfect and convincing
tennis than that si awn by the present
eharnpion against Shimidzu. The lithe
Californian completely dominated the
play in the first match and raced away '
to victory as if desirous of escaping as
soon as possible from the torrid atmos- j
phere which hung over the courts.
Johnston, in winning with a loss of
but eight games in three sets, actually
earned but five more points than his ,
opponent. It was in the twenty-two ad- ■
ditional errors that Kumagae piled up, I
particularly at the net. which gave John- |
ston his wide winning margin. While
the nets and cuts went ns errors in
Kumagae's stroke analysis, many of them
might have been termed earned points
for Johnston. They were due to the
almost impossible returning attempts of
Kumagae in his efforts to block or drive
back the smashes or placement strqkes
which the Californian drove down the
side lines at the Japanese player’s feet,
or lobbed over his head, when Kumagae,
In sheer desperation, attempted to play
a net game, a most unusual situation for
him.
MORE THRILLS IN
SECOND MATCH.
If the very finality of Johnston’s game
prevented a lack of thrllis in his game
against Kumagae, the Tilden-Shimldzu
battle more than made up for this lack
of spectacular play lu the opening con
test. Tho present Americac champion
opened in a most impressive fashion
against his Japanese opponent, imported
from India especially for the Davis cup
play. Tllden opened with an exhibition
of his racquet wizardry, which always
appealed to the gallery, and after win
n :.g the first three games, two of which
went to deuce by speed and pia l
Tllden elected to bring into play a
change of pace and chop strokes.
This softening of his game, with most
of the strokes being made from deep
court, fitted in exactly with Shimidzu's
idea of a tennis campaign. On his own
base line the Japanese player was steadi
ness personified, returning almost every
ball with excellent control, and he soon
had Tllden on the run. The latter appar
ently fount! it diiflcult to revive his
forcing game, and, in his mixing of soft
and hard stroking, piled up errors and
was forced out of position by Shimidzu's
lobbing and sideline tactics until he
dropped the first two sets.
The third set, which was really the
turning point of the match, moved stead
ily in Shimidzu’s favor until the Japa
nese challenger was within two points of
victory.
The heat w-as Intense, and both Tiiden
and Shimidzu were exhausted by their
continuous footing about tlie turf In the
torrid atmosphere. Shimidzu, In addi
tion, developed a slight attack of cramps
and the American champion, sensing the
fact that his opponent was slowing up,
forced the pace sufficiently to win the
third set at 7-5 and gain a respite of
ten minutes in the clubhouse.
Refreshed by a shower, rubdown. and
dry clothing, Tllden ran Into an early
lead In the fourth set, which he won, 0 2.
Shimidzu developed a muscle cramp to
ward the end of this set and was obliged
to let a number of returns pass un
plnyed. There was considerable delay
rietween the fourth and fifth sets, while
the Japanese player received massage
treatment, but he was unable to resume
his former court-covering pace in the
fifth and final sot, which Tllden won In
a spectacular manner, 0 1.

The strain of pitching In both games
of the double-header of Aug. 10 at Jersey
City was too much for Jack Wlsner of
Rochester, and he put on a storm scene
with Umpire James on the receiving end.

Snappy Colonels in
Town for Round of
Games With Indians
Tribe Rivals Are Going Big ,
but Hoosiers Hope to
Slow 'Em Up.
The Indians may be in seventh place
while their old rivals, the Louisville
Colonels, happen to be occupying first
place in the A. A. race, but even so the
Hocsiers are not going to let the gang
from the Blue Grass state strut around
with the high tone stuff.
The Indians are asha*ned of their po
stition, but they believe they still
possess sufficient punch to trip the
Colonels at least slightly. It is possible
for the Tribe to ease up into the first
division and the yactually believe they
are going to do it despite the trimmings
they suffered at St. Paul.
The Colonel series was to be cracked
open at Washington Park this afternoon,
weather permitting, in case the contest
today was prevented the teams will
tangle in a double herder tomorrow. A
regularly scheduled twin bill is on the
card for Monday afternoon, Labor day.
Regardless of the rivaly that exists be
tween Indianapolis and Louisville fans
over the circuit are giving the Colonels
due credit for their achievement in hold
ing the league lead. It has been a hard
campaign and the Colonels have with
stood the knocks. They still have got
a bade on their hands, however, for the
Minneapolis Millers have got a whale of
a punch and are not far removed from
the Colonels' heels.

DELAY IN PLAY
FOR NET TITLE
Rain Halts Meet at Ft. Wayne
—Finals Carded for
Sunday.
FT. WAYNE, Ind., Sept. 3.—The In
diana open tennis championships were
partly delayed yesterday when rain vis
ited these parts. John Hennessey, pres
ent title holder, had just finished beat
ing Ralph Burdick, 8-2, in the first set
of the one semi-final match and Frit*
Bastian and Jack McKay were tied at
4-4 in the first set of the other match,
when the downpour came. It will now
require through Sunday afternoon to
finish the play in the men’s double*
and singles.
■Uenuesoey played true to form in the
one 6 2 set. lie had his opponent on the
defensive most of the set. Drives to the
extreme corners of the back court by
the present title holder kept Burdick
from using h s strong net play.
In the Bastuin-MoKay affair the latter
got away to a flying start, and for ft
time it looked as though he was going
to keep Fritz on the defensive all the
way. However, just before the rain
came Bastian's play picked up and he
tied things up at 4-4. McKay held ft
40-15 advantage on the ninth game.
The largest crowd of the week was
present to see the mat-hes. Interest in
the tourney, in which all four contestants
for the title are from Indianapolis, is at
high pitch.
Officials of the meet announced last
night that the semi-finals in the play
for the State title would be held this
afternoon, while the championship finals
will be staged Sunday afternoon. Rain
early this morning was not expected to
delay the play this afternoon.
