RICHARDS GAINS IN
TENNIS TOURNEY
Defeats Teddy lie Gros in
Straight Sets in Junior
Championship.

Vincent Richards, the i5-ysar-old
Yonkers lad, won his place In the third
round Of the national Junior indoor ten
mis- tournament on the courts OF tho
Seventh Regiment Arrnory yesterday.
He defeated Teddy lie eros OF the New
York Tennis Club in straight sets at
6-3. 6--2.
The match In which tiiese two young
sters played was the only one decided in
the tournament series. but there were
several keenlv contested imprOmptu
matches played.
Rioha rds led of with the service,
shooting the ball over with good pace
and compelling lie Gros TO give ground
so that he might whip across passing
slot whom he had lie eros outssf posi-
ton. lie eros retalisted prcttlly in the
second game by mastering Richards Mt
the net. lie Cross volleys were finely
played. his blocking of the bail being
Exceptionally good. Richards moved up
10 the yolleying position with great reg
ularity In the third game. He always
followed up his service, sending the ball
off 10 the sides In way that made 1t
possible for him to score the game at
love.
lie eros began The match clad in n
heavy blue sweater. When the ex-
changes at the net began TO come with
greater frequency he laid aside this and
went after Richards hammer and tongs.
For a time he held the boy marvel.
Richards was quick to discover a weak
ness on the back hand side OF his adver-
cary. He at once made the left hand
side the target for his attack. RicharNls
gradually increased his pace until he
held the upper hand With case through
out the second set
In fairness to lie eros. vino displayed
remarkable ability, It must be said that
he met Richards after ne had become

IN THE SQUARED CIRCLE.

Persistent efforts arc bolrg made 10
induce Jack Dempsey. to make match
with Tom Cowler. the English heavy
weight, but up Ia date without success.
The manager OF COwisr has gone so far
AZ to intimate that Dempsey fears tho
outcome az meeting with his charge
and points out that his offer of $4,000
has been refused.
Cowler's manager adds that n Demp-
sey viii not fight Cowler. JET Smith, n
middleweRht. will be pleased to take on
the conQueror Of Fulton. The proposal
10 put Smith in the ring with Dempsey
terds to weaken the claim a. to Cowler
being 1T opponent for the Utah
thumper. for there IL not a promoter in
America who would evca consider Il
match between Smith and Dempsey.
Although Willie Richie. former light
weight champion of the world. never
was knocked on, during his active career
rs n boxer. he received tho hump sCpp-
rife recently during military bouts at
Camp Gordon. near Atlanta. Ga. The
singular feature OF the knockout was
that Richie was not contestant. hut
merely the referee. He was the third
man In tho ring while Kid Lewis, welter
champion, and Harry Brewer were en-
TAR in Brewer. They boxed three furious
rounds. Toward the close of the fourth
session Richie ran between the men
