At ATLANTIC CITY
Philadelphia italian Feather

or Champs contenders
VACATI0NING At SHORE
BY LOUIS n. JAFFT

lnOWN in the Chelsea section Of At.
~ lantic City, in a cozy little bunga'
low across the road from the Airpor,
where Jack Dempsey conditioned him
self for his match with Georges Car
pentier, Al Wagner has started his
vacation, and he Is planning to erect
an open-a air gymnasium in his spacious
back yard. Al Wagner, you know, is
one of our featherweights, and he IL
among the flock hot on the trail OF
Johnny Kilbane for crack Mt the 128-
pound laurels.
Ring followers have not been seeing
much Of Wagner for the last year or
so. and despite his lack of fsticuffs
Albertus continues to possess q pair q
classy pair Of dukes. This the South
set to several months ago. when he
not only outboxed, outsocked and out :
classed Willis Green, of Kensington,
but came near knocking him out in the
last round.
This match was held in Atlantic
City. Immediately after his brilliant
showing against Green, Wagner was
offered n contract for return appear.
ancc. But Al didn't sign. I'm tired
Of this small time stuff" he explained
then. What l want is a match with
Johnny Kilbane or some of the gang
who also are after him.
Andy Clancy" Wagner said on
the boardwalk last night. ITS being
boosted as the logical man to try to
take away the crown from Kilbane
All Of this talk is being put on among
the wise crackers in New York. They
probably don't know that l handed
Andy few pointers about how tc
fling fists in Philadelphia little more
than a yenr ago.
The fans in Phillie are acquainted
with that fact, and I am ready to
show New Workers that there was nc
fluke in that match. I have n man in
the big burg looking out for my in
terests there, and at present he Is
working on n bout between Clancy
and myself.
"As soon as I get the wire that
everything Is lovely I will get down to
real hard training at the shore. and
III prove to the followers of Clancy
who is the better man in the ring.
Wagner is legitimate feather
weight. While he has done little II
any training for several months, he
does not weigh more than 30 pounds.
He believes he could get down to the
necessary weight, 126 pounds at
o'clock, in fortnight.

Paris. July THE French Tennis
Federation will do everything possible
to send Davis Cup team to the United
States to meet Australia, NJ. Wallet,
president of the federation, said today
upon hearing reports that 1t had been
decided the semi final tie must be played

'"The question Of the expenses in
volved is very large one for our fed

perhaps difficulties may be experienced
in obtaining leave for Cochet, who is
doing military service. but the fedora
tion will meet Monday to try and
smooth out all the difficulties"
The federation's president indAlged
in mild criticism of the Australian
team, which he thought might have
postponed It's sailing to America for q
week" He added that NJ. Cillou. sec.
retary of the federation. now ut VIM

the Australians to have the games
played in Europe. and If he failed then

CUE-GAME RULES
LIKELY TO STAND
New Plan Suggested by Which
Losers Average Could Not
Top Winners
EQUAL INNINGS SOUGHT

There is movement afoot to have
the contestants in all championship
matches at balkline, three cushion and
pocket billiards play an equal number
of innings.
1t has been suggested that specific
number of points, such az 1900 in balk-
line. be agreed upon, but that when one
Of the players has reached the total
agreed upon and Is still in the midst Of
n run one inning ahead of his oppo-
nent. such player shall be compelled to
keep on shooting until he misses.
Then his opponent would take his
turn at the table so that the number of
innings played by each would be equal,
and II he were able to compile suffi-
cient number of points to pass his op-
ponent he would be the winner.
1t Is a novel iden and one that. II 1t
were adopted. would be one of the most
drastic changes vet made in the rules
governing championship billiard compe-
tition. AS explained by those who have
advanced the suggestion, II is based
upon the principle employed in baseball
In baseball each of the teams plays an
equal number of innings unless the team
which goes to bat last hns scored more
runs after eight innings than Its oppo-
nent has succeeded in getting In nine.

uMsAcH SAYS MURPHY PLAN
OF BLOCK PAVING is NOT
ADVISABLE AT THIS TIME

Commissioner Murphy's program for
funds to complete the city's paving
project received a setback when
Henry NJ. Umbach, president OF the
parish board of assessors, declared II
would be foolish" to inaugurate the
lot and block plan of assessment at
this time. 1t was through this plan
that Commissioner Murphy hoped to
obtain funds TO complete the 1928
paving.
Commissioner Murphy previously
had stated that unless some new plans
were adopted the city would be able
to complete only one-third OF the
projects being considered.
Mr.. Umbach added that he believes
the lot and block plan unfair to tax
payers because it taxes equally prop
| erty of greater and less value. Com
missioner Murphy and Mr.. Umbach
will confer next week with the hope
of finding some way of financing the
paving work.

IN RAILROAD YARD

Frank Wilkinson, 81 years Old, of
New York. sailor on the steamship
Burlington, moored at the jefferson
dry docks on the Algiers side of the
river, was found last night uncon-
scious in the railroad yards at Nc
Donoghville. He was sent to Charity
Hospital by Police Captain James
Dimitry and Acting Corporal Timothy
Valentine. Doctors said he was suf-
fering from a slight fracture OF the
skull. cuts about the body and a
mashed finger.
Wilkinson told the police he left
his vessel for a stroll and. taking the
wrong turning, went up toward Nc
Donoghville instead of back to the
ship. Then he found himself in a
railroad yard.
That's all he remembers, says VII
kinson, beyond a faint recollection o
a sudden blow from behind. At hi:

police, lay a brick.
Wilkinson returned to his yesSe
after his injuries had been attende
to at the hospital. He had not bee
