TENNIS FAVOR|TES
 MIN STRAIGHT SETS

FOREST HILLS, N. r, Aug. 2S.- Straight set victories for the leading players in the third round of the 3Sth national turf tennis championships was the outstanding feature of today's play. Gerald Patterson of the Australian team took five sets to defeat Waston Washburn of New York.
 Far more impressive was the vic- tory of R. Norris Williams, II, of Boston, singles champion in 1914 and 1916 Williams eliminated Willis E. Davis of San Francisco, last seasons Clay Court title holder, in three straight sets of 6-2 scores with a rap idity which exceeded his defeat of Vincent Richard yesterday.
 Tn the other matches William NJ. Johnston of San Francisco easily de- feated Henry Parker of New York, Wallace Johnson of Philadelphia won over Horace Taylor of Boston. R. Lindley Murray, present champion, won in straight sets from Lucien Will liams of Highland Park, Illinois, Nor man Brookes, Australian, disposed of Wm P.

] WE'LL AND GRANT
 SCALE BELOW WEIGHT

With only two remaining days in which to get into trim for their 10- round go before the Phoenix Athletic club Monday evening. Ira O'Neill and Kid Grant, colored middleweights, went through stiff paces at their respective quarters yesterday afternoon. Both re- ported that they weighed under the agreed limit after concluding the days work.
 O'Neill started his training with a rush and maintained a lightning pace until his manager called halt after a 90-minute workout. Never once during the entire period, did O'Neill stop for a breathing spell.
 First he boxed, then he skipped the rope, pulled the pulleys. tossed the medicine ball and then boxed again, concluding his gymnasium activities with three fast rounds against Battling Stewart
 Incidentally. Battling Stewart stepped few yesterday afternoon and proved to large gallery that he will be able to go the entire six rounds against Young Sonoqui at top speed.
 Kid Grant took on three different local boys in his workout at the P. A. c. training quarters last evening. He showed plenty of pep and a kick that caused his sparring partners to steer clear of his right.
 Grant, who claims 10-round draw with Rufus Williams, is confident that he will be able to stop short the career of the local middleweight, who jumped into prominence over night by reason of his victory over Johnny Pascoe.

FRANCE SHOWS GOOD IN FIRST WORKOUT
 AD ENJOYS DAY OFF

While Ad Wolgast was enjoying a rest day" at his Riverside Park train- ing camp yesterday, Young France, his opponent in the 10-round Labor Day main Event at the Maricopa County Athletic association arena at Alham- bra, was going through a one-hour workout at his temporary training quarters at the American Legion head quarters over Goldberg's store.
 Young France and Cliff Jordan, who meets Kid Reed in a six-round semi final, will work out daily at the Ameri- can Legion headquarters from S to ' o'clock in the afternoon. Arrange ments will be completed today for a training quarters there, including a ring and other paraphernalia necessary in the daily grind of a ring performer.
 The Los Angeles boy showed plenty of pep in his work yesterday, notwith- standing the fact that he finished a Los Angeles to Phoenix automobile trip less than "A hours previous. He skipped the rope for eight rounds and shadow boxed four more.
 If his style in the ring is anything like his shadow boxing. Wolgast can expect to be carried along at pretty fast clip. France isn't boxer; he doesn't claim to be. He's just q plain old fashioned battler, the Kind wLo starts after his man when the first bell sounds and who doesn't reIent until the final gong is sounded.
 He's got plenty of speed and appar- ently packs a good left hand, although he did not box with his training part- ner yesterday owing to the slippery condition of the floor where Ee was obliged to work. To have boxed or such floor may have resulted in an injury that would have prevented him from performing Monday night A ring with a padded canvas floor will be con structed today, however. and France has stated that he will go at least four rounds this afternoon. No admission will be charged.
 Cliff Jordan donned the gloves witt Billy Wilson, his sparring partner, and went an easy four rounds, refusing tc take many chances on the glass-likt floor. He demonstrated to fans thai he has plenty of speed, good walloI and that he is a ready mixer.
 As stated previously, yesterday was rest day at the Wolgast camp The l Michigan Bearcat went on the road 1T the afternoon and, clad in a heavy sweater and fiir-l lined coat, turned of ] three miles. This was the extent O i his training for the day. Returninf to his camp, he took a plungs and theI partook of his evening meal, foregoins his usual boxing.
 Wolgast will don the gloves thi. afternoon, however, and has sounded call for local talent to be on hand t, | aid him in his work.

BILLY CAPPELLE HAS
 NARROWING EPISODE
 WHENLOST IN DESERT

Lost on the great California desert with their water supply exhausted and cnly two and a hals gallons of gaso- lien left in their emergency tank was the narrowing experience of Billy Cappelle and his brother, Nick, Wed nesday, who are enroute from San Diego to Phoenix ia the formers hign powered machine. A telegram, telling of the arrival of the pair at Blythe, Calif early yesterday morning after a by officers of the F A. c. Thursday morning.
 Cappelle and his brother left San Diego Tuesday for this city. where Cappelle is scheduled to appear in a ten-round boxing bout. When they failed to reach Phoenix last evening, as scheduled, some fear was enter tained here as to the safety of the pair.
 Telegrams were immediately for arded to San Diego, Los Angeles and other points along the route, but no one was able to furnish any informa- tion as to the location of the brothers
 It was about 10 o'clock yesterday morning when the local boxing club received word that the Cappelle boys had safely reached Blythe after an ex- .erience that tested their steel nerve.
 In some manner, they got off the road a few miles west of Blythe and for 23 hours were unable to locate their bearings. all the while being less than five miles from the main road. Only the fact that a casual desert travelei happened by and directed the boys tc the right road saved them from much mental and possibly physical anguish the telegram stated in brief.
 Because of their experience, the boys employed a driver at Blythe and are Inow proceeding toward Phoenix. With out further mishap, they should react this city sometime tonight or early Friday morning.
