The collegian of this generathn

other minor adjuncts.
Today the sporting curriculum is
as long as a Bolshevik black list
The old menu is still whirling mer-

TWO INDICTED
BY GRAND JURY

announcement of the indictment on
charges of extortion n attempted
extortion in connection with offer
ing OF protection to saloon keepers
OF two men who have been promi-
nent within the organization in the
borough of Richmond.
District Attorney Maloy is said to
have issued the warrants for the
arrest of the two. One of the men,
Thomas Burke, was until recently
one of the lieutenants of Matthew
J. Cahill, county chairman and can
didate for borough president.
Burke who until two months ago a
process server, in the district attor-
ney's Office was discharged by Ma
10y, it is said, when complaint OF
saloon keepers that $50 had been
demanded for protection.
The other man indicted was Will
liam Brown, s-tenographer in the
office of Sheriff William Walsh.
Brown handed in his resignation

ments against other politicians are
returned.
The indictment of the two men
was the subject of a general discus
sion by politicians in all parts of

Tourney Week
For Junior Champ
Richards Says Tennis Will Be
At Height of Its Popu.
larity This Year.

New York, July l6.-Vincent
Richards, junior national lawn ten
mis- champion, says that this summer
should see tennis at the height Of
its popularity, Judging by the way
the season opens up this year. There
is practically tournament week
throughout the whole season, num-
bering something like 200 in all. Al
though it is still early in the sea-
son we find one tourney running into
the playing time of another.
In very short time we will have
the annual Californian invasion of
the eastern tournaments. This inva-
sion will be led by William M.
Johnston, with Rowland Roberts, c.
]. Griffin and Willis Davis complet-
ing the party. The advent of the
western racqueters always stimu-
lates interest here in the east as to
the probable conquerors of the stars
from the Golden Gate.
Then we have the Davis cup ties
to be played in this country some
time in August. Probably the big
gcst attraction of the year will be
the local appearance of the wonder
full French mademoiselle, Suzanne
Lengion. This girl is undoubtedly
the greatest female player in the
game at the present time. On July
Is at the Agawam Hunt club Of
Providence, R. l., nearly all the
stars will be gathered together for

Dempsey-Johnson
Match Probable
Champion and Former Champ
May Meet, But Not
This Year.

New York, July 16.-(SpeciaD-
1t is probable that eventually a
match will be made between Jack
Dempsey and Jack Johnson, former
heavyweight champion of the world,
but not for some time. Johnson will
not be allowed to box in New
Jersey, as the present boxing COM
mission in that state has set its face
against him. Chairman Robert H.
Doherty, when told of reports that
attempts would be made to match
Johnson with Harry Wills in a Jer-
sey ring next month, said:
"The commissioners are in office
to promote and protect the boxing
game in the state, we believe that
the appearance of Johnson in a con-
test there would be derogatory to
the sport"
Jack Kearns, manager of Demp-
sey, is not opposed to match be-
tween Dempsey and Johnson, but
says that Johnson should meet
Harry Wills or another 1eadins
negro boxer before being considered
for a championship match. He
added that he would demand the
posting of forteits in case the match
were made. ..

May Split Canadian
Racing Association

Windsor, July 16. - Especially
Renewed reports that the authority
of the Canadian Racing association
is to be split and that the sport in the
dominion will in the near future be-
conducted under separate eastern and
western circuits are making the
rounds at the current meeting here.
1t is common talk that Manager Abe
Orpen is dissatisfied with his Kenil-
worth park dates and apparently see
ing no relief in sight so far as any
action on the part of the c. r. A. is
concerned, is laying his plans for a
split.
A report further has it that Mr.
Orpen regards Devonshire park as
the key to the situation and that the
alignment of the latter with his track
would spell success for the under
taking. Thus far Bradley Wilson
manager of Devonshire, has refused
to commit himself.
The position which Devonshire
park is rapidly assuming in a racing
way in this vicinity, was again at
tested the other day when upon reli-
able authority it was learned that the
Palmer-Hendric confederacy made
their second offer to Manager Brad
ley Wilson for the purchase of the
plant. The first one was refused.

Rickard Against
Dempsey-Willard
Fistic Encounter
Promoter Opposes Match Be.
cause of Setup for Jack;
Disapproves Bout With
Harry Wills.

New York, July 16.-(Special.) y
1t is stated on good authority that
Tex Rickard has placed his stamp
of disapproval on glove battle be-
tween Jack Dempsey and either
Jess Willard or Harry Wills, the
negro boxer. Rickard declares that
Willard, with less than two months
in which to train properly, would
prove soft mark for Dempsey on
Labor day in the Jersey City sta
dium and that the match, under
those conditions couldn't be draw
ing card. As for Wills, Rickard is
opposed to contests between whites
and blacks, particularly when cham
pionship ring titles are involved.
Willard has been idle for two
years. He came east several months
ago before Rickard had arranged to
stage the Carpentier-Dempsey battle
and wanted to meet the world cham
pion on July 4. He said he had been
training lightly for some time and
certainly looked the part. But when
Rickard sidetracked him for the
French challenger Willard returned
to Kansas and devoted his entire
time to private business ventures:
Willard probably weighs all Of 265
pounds today and needs at least
three months or more in which to
harden himself for real fighting. He
is about 40 years old.
Dempsey would have disposed OF
Willard as easily as he put an end to
Carpenter, even though the gigantic
Kansas pugilist had been in better
physical condition than he was at
Toledo in 1919. At least, that is
Richards opinion, and also is the
reason why Jack and Jess will not
engage in return match this year,
if ever.
Wills is a dangerous heavyweight,
and while it is not admitted that he
can defeat Dempsey, Rickard evil
IDENTIFY doesn't care to be held re-
sponsible for the return of the world
title to the colored race should Wills
take the measure of Dempsey under
the auspices of the famous promoter.
1t is understood that Rickard
favors Tom Gibbons, the St. Paul
light heavyweight, as possible con-
tender for Dempsey's crown. Rick
ard is ready to match him with Car
pentier for a l2-round bout in the
Jersey City stadium on Labor day.
There isn't doubt that Gibbons and
Carpenter, evenly matched as to
weight, would draw another enor-
nous crowd.

Harvard Decides to

British Track Meet

The Harvard athletic committee
has decided that no Crimson fresh
men would be used on the combined
Harvard-Yale track and field team
that is to meet Oxford and Cam
bridge athletes at Cambridge, Mass,
on July %.
This action was taken, the COM
mittee said, to obviate any possibil-
ity that first-year men might later
be declared to have participated in
the 1920-2l varsity season. Burke,
a freshman, had been listed for the
two-nile run with Hil1es of Yale.

Tilden Sets New
Record on Courts
American Successfully De-
fends Worlds Title; Wins
St. Cloud Tourney.

New York, July l6.-(Special. y
BY his performance in successfully
defending the worlds lawn tennis
singles championship on the historic
turf at Wimbledon, London, Will
liam T. Tilden II substantiated two
opinions held by close followers of
the game in this country. The first
was that he would win. The second
that he is far from being the con-
sistently capable player of year
ago
1t must be remembered that
Tifden has accomplished more than
any other player in the world. The
title on turf has twice fallen to him
at Wimbledon. He conquered the
greatest in the world on the hard
courts at St. Cloud, France. His
winning of the American title and
record in the successful conquest of
the Davis cup last season have never
been equalled. Now it is evident
that Tilden has spent much of his
physical stamina. Shortly before en-
countering B. 1. c. Norton, the
young South African, in the chal-
lenge match the famous American
spent 10 days in hospital suffer
ing from a carbuncle. Under the
circustamnces his acknowledged er-
ratio playing should cause no sur
prise.
Norton early in the season dis
played his strength remarkably well
in the tournaments in England. II
was in winning the singles on hard
courts at Henley on Thames that he
attracted attention. The field there
was remarkably strong, including NJ
]. G.. Ritchie, Sir G. A.. Thomas, A.
A. Fyzee and DR.. A. H. Fyzee, S.
M. Jacob and others of Davis cup
team caliber.
The success of Norton is regarded
in England as clinching argument
for rearing players upon hard courts
According to the official publication
of the English association, the South
African is an astute tactician when
in action. He rarely permits op-
ponents to play pet shots. Norton's
greatest strength lies in his skill al
mixing his own game and making
his forcing shots when he wants
them. He accomplishes his best
work when compelled to come from
behind, as he has the fault Of being
inclined to "loaf" against an easy
opponent.
Norton is youthful in years. He
is an exponent of the all court game

Boston, July l6.-Johnny Wilson,

the decision over George Robinson
of Cambridge in 10 rounds here last
night. Robinson, three and half
pounds over the 1S8 pounds stipu-
lated weight, had the better of the
first and the ninth rounds. Wilson
had clear advantage over Robin
son in nearly every other round.
Robinson set out to make a quick
end of the bout in the first round
The negro with repeated lefts and
a right whip to the jaw first shook
and then knocked down the cham
pion. Wilson fell to crouchine
position but recovered quickly and
although he did not land a blow in
the rest of the round, he weathered
Robinson's storm of punches:

Important Horse Sale
Completed by Laurel
Hall and Taggart

Cleveland, o., July l6.-iSpecial.)
The most important transaction in
harness horseflesh that has taken
place since the opening of the racing
season was the sale few days ago
Of the 3-year-old trotting filly, The
Great Rose, a daughter of Peter
the Great and Rose Watts, by Laurel
Hall farm of Indianapolis to Tom
Taggart, jr., of French Lick, Indiana.
While she is little known to the rae
ing public, having started but once
in race last season in an event for
2-year-olds at Syracuse, to those on
the inside it has been known for
some time that this youngster was
highly regarded by Trainer Walter
Cox and the other attaches of the
famous Indiana breeding establish
ment.
A few days ago Cox gave The
Great Rose some, stiff work over the
Toledo track, two miles around 2:07
with a last half in 1:0l34. AS this
was the fastest work by any of the
3-year-cld brigade, numerous pros
pective buyers drifted toward the
Cox stable soon after the report OF
this sensational workout had been
noised around. Young Taggert is a
close friend of Greeley Winnings, su-
perintendent Of Laurel Hall, and he
secured the filly, the price being re-
ported at $4,000. She will probably
be shifted to the stable of Lon Nc
Donald and raced by that trainer in
the futurities later.
Taggart, son of the famous DEM
ocrat politician and ex-senator from
Indiana, is not novice to the racing
game as he owns Dottie Day, 2:0714,
a good winner on the Grand Circuit
the past season, and the 3-year-old
colt, Peter Pluto, son of Peter the
Great, which trotted good race at
the North Randall meeting last week.
The latter, however, did not look to
be hardly up to the task OF meeting
the best of the futurity youngsters,
but in The Great Rose he has one
which looks to be capable OF holding
her own in any company.

Collegiate Golfer
Not to Participate
In Title Tourney

New York, July 16.-(Special)-
In view of the splendid golf dis
played by J. Simpson Dean in win
ming the qualifying medal and then
playing through to the intercol-
legiate championship in his last
tournament as college golfer, it is
to be regretted that this brilliant
addition to championship ranks will
not be a participant in the national
championship at St. Louis in Sep
tember and in some of the other
events in which he might be matched
against Evans, Ouimet, Jones and
several others among the leaders in
amateur golf in the United States.
Dean has played his last golf in the
United States for this season, as he
has sailed with a party of collegians
who will be gone until fall.
Others who sailed with Dean are
his teammate, R. A. Haight; A. Lu-
Glen Walker, jr.. of Columbia, for
mer champion and retiring president
of the intercollegiate Golf associa-
ton of America; Sidney Scott and
A. T. Burlington of Yale and c.
w. Baker of Harvard.
