TO HOLD DAVIS
CUP MATCHES
England, France and Aus
tralia Will Compete for
Tennis Honors.

At least one international tennis
match is likely to be played in Eu-
rope this summer. for both England
and France have forwarded chal-
lenges for the Davis Cup to Aus
tralia, the champion nation. The
regulations governing these con-
tests provide that should more
than one nation challenge. they
shall compete among themselves for
the right to play the champion ma
tion in the challenge tie"
The report that England had de-
cided to challenge Australia has not
changed the plans of the United
States National Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation, as outlined at the annual
meeting on February Z. At that
time the delegates authorized the
executive committee to make ar
rangements for Davis Cup matches
in 1920. The National Association
has felt that it would be rather un-
sportsmanlike for the United States
TO try to force any play for this
trophy in 1919. that would include
team from this country. because
the allied nations have suffered
severely during the war and many
Of their prominent players have

most prominent players of the
United States have come through
unscathed, and they are only nov
beginning to resume competition on

WILLARD NOT
SIDE STEPPING
Lack Of Opponents Only
Reason Big Champion
Has Remained Idle.

New York, March 1.-THE criti-
cism directed against Jess Willard
because the big fellow has not de-
Tended his title more often seems
hardly fair to the champion when
all the facts are considered. 1t is
true that willard has taken part
in only one glove bout since he de-
feated Jack Johnson in 1915, but
it also is true that he has not side
stepped any available opponent.
Apparently the only reason that
willard has been an inactive cham
pion is that there has been no live
contender until Jack Dempsey made
his appearance. willard has been
unfortunate-or fortunate, as the
case may be-in reigning during a
period when aspirants to the throne
have been unusually scarce. Dur
ing the four years he has held the
title only three men have appeared
capable of offering enough resist
ance to the big fellow to make a
championship match worth while.
Frank Moran was the first to gain
enough consideration by the public
to warrant a match. Willard did
not hesitate to take him on. Moran
proved to be a joke, as he figured
to be, but that was not Willard's
fault. II the big fellow had told
the truth and said that Moran was
not worthy of battle for the title,
he would have been roasted to a
turn.
For some time after the Moran
affair there was no contender in
which the public took the slightest
interest. Then little Jack Dillon
handed Moran worse beating
than willard had and there was
some talk of matching the Giant
Killer" with the champion But Will
lard promptly put a stop to the
agitation by asserting that he
would refuse to make himself look
ridiculous by meeting a man so
much smaller than himself. As Dill
lon did not appear in the least
anxious for the match, the affair
went no further.

FRANCE BOOMS
UP BASEBALL
Bill Friel, Former Big
League Star, to Instruct
French Youths.

Paris, March 7-Followers Of the
great American game will be interest
ed to know that Bill Friel. the former
big league star, will remain in France
to instruct the French youth in the
art of baseball. Friel Is now acting
as secretary for the Knights of Co
lumbus, and has taken an active in
terest in the promotion of baseball
during his stay in France.
ITO establish baseball on a perma-
nent basis in France, one must lay the
proper foundation" said Friel the 9TH
er day in discussing the future of the
game in France, Il have been asked
to remain in France to promote the
game, and it is my intention to estab-
lish a foundation by first introducing
the game in the schools and on the
sandlots. Only in this way will sue
cess be obtained
According to tentative plans.
leagues will be organized in the va
rious sections of Paris among the
youngsters in the grade schools. The
league will be placed on the same ba-
sis as that of the United States and
the necessary uniforms and other
baseball material will be furnished to
each school team.
IF the present plans work out,
eight team leagues will be formed in
about six sections OF the city, which
will furnish plenty of amusement for
the boys. We will have a regular sea-
son with full schedule of games, and
an inter-leag1e contest will be ar
ranged for the championship of the
city. Prominent merchants have Of
fered to donate suitable prizes for
the winners"

DONLON TELLS WHY
YOUNG PLAYERS HIT

Quite a few fans asked me-" says
Mike Donlon, about the way in
which Charley Hollocher and some
other players have increased their
batting records in the big leagues,
1t doesn't seem quite in line for a
man to hit harder in the big leagues
than against the weaker pitchers of
the smaller circuits. but it happens
every now and then.
Some fellows who are great natu-
raj batsmen do not come into their
full power and hitting skill during
their first or second seasons of the
game. when they are in the minors,
but attain their stride after they have
come up to the fast company. Hol-
locher is evidently one of this va
riety. Lajoie, Hans Wagner, Eddie
Delahanty-I fancy these three were
about as good as any batsman that
ever faced a pitcher-all hit better
in the big leagues than in the minors.
'I can modestly say that 1 batted
better in the big show than in the
sticks, and the pitching of the major
stars didn't worry me any more than
that in the small town"

TRIPLE ALLIANCE
OPPOSED BY COUNCIL

Cambridge, Mass. March THE
Harvard student council, represent
ing the undergraduate body at Har-
ward University. adopted a resolu-
tion last night favoring a revival
OF peacetime football. and express
ing opposition to any code of rules
between Harvard. Yale and Prince
ton which might bring criticism
from other colleges. The resolu-
tion said:
Whereas any code of rules be-
tween Harvard, Yale and Princeton
would tend to give an erroneous
impression of the existence of an
exclusive triumvirate and is con-
trary to undergraduate opinion, it
is believed extremely unwise to en-
ter into any additional limiting
agreement. except such eligibility
rules as may from time to time
appear necessary"

LOCAL GOLFER BEATS
RHODE ISLANDER 2 UP

Pinehurst. n. c., March edward
Styles. of the Washington Golf Club,
and Dwight L. Armstrong, of Oak
mont, will meet in the final Of the
spring tournament of Pinehurst to-
morrow. Both players won their
matches by very slim margins today.
Styles was two down to T. ]. Moran,
of Rhode Island, at the fourteenth.
and although he squared the match
at the sixteenth. and finally won it
by two up, his victory was due large
" to luck. His drive for the seven
teeuth and his second shor for the
eighteenth rolled into traps and then
rolled clean out of them again, while
Tne corresponding shots of his oppo-
nent landed into traps and stayed
there.
Armstrong, playing against Louis A.
Hamilton, of Garden City. was one
down at the turn. but by dint Of
playing the next eight holes in thirty
one plus the luck of a dead stymie
against Hamilton on one of the
greens, the Oakmont player manage
to win out by two and one.
After the semi-fnais were finished
the two finalists played off their tie
for the qualifying medal, Styles win
ming by margin of. six strokes.
Chick Evans turned up az Pinehurst
today and put in some Gesultory prac-
tice on the links. A big match is in

DOCTOR OSLER
WAS ALL WRONG
Veteran Says Thrills Of
Polo Game Are Great
Youth Restorer.

Del Monte, Cal, March doctor
Osler was all wrong. Thomas Man
gan, a young feller of So years. ID
down here at Del Monte playing polo
every day and he is knocking large
and effective holes in the old Docs
pet theory.
Mangan really doesn't look nor act
like one of threescore years and two.
but he has his birth documents
which prove that he was born with
in a mile of Curragh Camp, New
bridge, County Kildare, Ireland, on
October %, 1856. Mangan came to
this country forty-one years ago,
and he has been a lover of the horse
ever since, occupying his time on
the side in his profession of con-
structive engineer.
For a number OF years he had the
Sunnyside Farm, on Long Island. n.
Y, where some of the greatest
jumping and hunting horses in the
country were bred and raised. He
was associated with Dick Donnelly.
who is reckoned as the greatest of
high Jumping riders.
The 62-year-old poloist has a farm
now at Thornton. between Sacra-
mento and Stockton, and for the last
three years he has been showing
horses at the State Fair Horse Show
at Sacramento. During his leisure
he has been following his hobby of
raising polo ponies. and he has been
connected with Charley F. Silva, of
Sacramento. who is widely known
on the sulky circuits as the owner
Of string of fast PAGERS and trot-
ters.
Mangan has twelve ponies at Del
Monte and he puts in six to seven
hours each day riding them. Most
of them are sired by such thorough
breds as F'ulleta, Imp. Preston Paas,
Bedeck and Pedro Jose. Mangan
has difficulty in making the polo fol-
lowers believe his age. for he is as
frisky as a 2-year-old in the saddle
1t is fact, however, that he'll be
SO his next birthday anniversary.
Polo, so says Mangan. is a great
youth restorer. in spite of the fact
that it's a strenuous, thrilling pas
time.
