Star Women Meters Meet

NEW YORK. July 3o.-Miss Mary

to meet Miss Mary Wagner, New York,
in the challenge round for the New York
State women's tennis singles champion
ship today. Miss Browne won her way
into the challenge round by defeating
Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, 2-6, 6-3, Ga, in
the final Of the annual State tournament.
In the doubles Mrs. Bundy and Mrs
c. " Kitchens were slated to play Miss
wagner and Miss Clare Cassell in the
final round today.
With the strongest elements of her
game, the close range and swift position
play spoiled by wet courts, Miss Browne
yesterday gave much to her rival This
repeatedly was demonstrated In the raj
lies when Miss Browne often remained
in deep court rather than risk a twisted
ankle or a fall by sudden shift to close
range attack When settled into her
game she completely mastered Mrs.
Bundy at the task of putting across win
ming shots. Miss Brownies total of place
ments for the three acts was forty to
twenty -one for Mrs. Bundy.

HERE'S WILSON'S
SIDE OF FUSS

BOSTON, July 30-"No matter what
the Cleveland boxing commission says
Johnny Wilson is still the middleweight
champion" Martin Killilea, his manager
said here today.
In giving his version OF the Wilson
Downey fight. a a result of which Dow
ney is claiming the title, Killilea claimed
that they ran into an attempted frame.
My contract with Tom McGinty, pro
mOter Of the bout, allowed me TO bring
nv own referee" he said. Funny work
started in the seventh round. Wilson
had Downey in his own corner, when
Jimmy Dunn, manager of Downey
reached through the ropes and grabbed
Wilson's left foot As Wilson was try
Ing to kick himself free, Downey banged
him on the jaw and Wilson went down
At the count of seven Johnny was on one
knee and ! yelled at him to get up. Al
this point Downey ran around the referee
sud hit Wilson again on the jaw, toor-
ing him. Referee Gardner at once de-
clared Wilson the winner on a foul, as
Downey had hit him while he was down.

PONGO JOE AND
HIS VETS HERE
Indians Have Hopes of Doing
Better Now That Smuggling
Blues Are Gone.

Joe Cantillon and his mixture of old
timers and youngsters were here today
to open a big round Of action with the the
IndAns at Washington Park. The
Millers are always a drawing card here
because of the presence of the famous
Pongo and a few other vet players who
have been making the circuit of the asso-
citation for years.
The Millers are right on the heels Of
the Louisville Colonies in the A. A. race
and they are a hard club to defeat. They
are always doing something, mostly hit
ting the apple" and the Indians are
facing a real task In opposing the bat
wielders from the North.
If it wasn't for that double defeat at
the hands Of the X. c. Blues yesterday
the fans would feel as though their
Trbesmen were back on their feet, but
the pitching was so wabbly in the two
battles that uncertainty still exists re-
garding the ability of the Hoosiers to
emerge from the rut without new as
, sitsance.
This new assistance has been promised
again by the Giants and Reds through
John McGraw and Garry Hermann.
Manager Hendricks conferred with both
in Cincinnati yesterday and today he
expressed the view that he actually be-
lieved something would come off shortly
that would help save the situation here.
the Indians must obtain another catcher.
As for the Tribe pitching, ii is apparent
that half of the staff has caved In.
In yesterdays double header the Blues
won, to and II 10 5. In both con-
tests the Indians got away to swell leads
and played like champions In the later
innings Of both games, however the
Tribe pitchers weakened and the Blues
chased over sufficient runs to win.
Bunny Brief, Kansas City first sacker,
got his twenty second and twenty third
home runs Of the season during the
afternoons pastiming. In the first game
he hit over the right-centerheld fence
and In the second fracas he hoisted the
b IL over the left field fence. Coyington
and Good also hit homers.
Hank Schreiber was the Tribes hitting
star, with three hits the first contest and
four in the second. Henllne was prom
inent in the closing battle with triple
and double.
II certainly was a tough twin bill to
lose. after the Indians got such brilliant
starts in each. but 1t takes pitching OF
8 higher brand than was displayed yes
terday to hold back clubs like the slug
ging Blues.
