Americas Leading
Tennis Players in
East-West Matches

Contests of championship caliber may
be expected in the annual East w est
match, which this year is to take place
on the courts Of the West Side Tennis
Club, Forest Hills, September 1928.
The champion for 1922 will have been
determined by that time and, unless
the title is won by some of the foreign
players, the event at Forest Hills is
likely to bring together the leading
contendars for that honor.
Richard N. Williams I'd is captain of
the Eastern team and William M. John
ston of the Western. The players from
the Pacific Coast will include, besides
Johnston, the Kinsey brothers and Will
lis T.. Davis. Miss Mary X. Browne is
leaving Los Angeles this weekend and
will be at Philadelphia for practice there,
so that she will also be available for
the Western team, Mrs. May Sutton
Bundy and Miss Helen Wills having
returned home.
The Eastern representatives will
probably be William T. Tilden I'd, Vim
gent Richards, Williams and Watson
Washburn OR Francis T. Hunter. Mrs
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory will also play
for the East, SO that match between
the champion and Miss Browne is
assured
Williams and Johnston will meet in
Philadelphia during the national cham
pionship to select their players and to
decide upon the program for matches
forsthe two days play.

Golf Enthusiasts
Still on Scene of
Titular Tourney

BROOKLINE, Mass, Sept. 10.--Cnly
the buzz of conversation and here and
there louder voices arguing the re-
spective merits of golfng idols re-
mained here to-day, where enthusiasts
still gathered as an aftermath of the
national amateur champi onship which
ended yesterday with the crowning of
Jesse Sweetser, of New York, as the
new amateur golfing king.
Those mathematically inclined had
figured out the winner of the title owed
his victory in the final match largely
to the fact that he outdrove his rival
the famed "Chick" Evans, of Chicago,

inferior of none with his irons, was

Sweetser, native of Kentucky and
FOR several years a resident of St

York tonight that the best golfer he
met during the tournament was Bobby
Jones, of Atlanta, and that in his
the breaks. He added, however, that
his hardest match was the one which
gave him his title,

Buff i'm Strenuous
Training for Bout
With Pancllo Villa

Johnny Buff, American fyweight
champion, put in a strenuous day at
his training quarters at White Sulphur
Springs, Saratoga, yesterday in prepa-
ration for his bout with Pancho Villa
at Ebbets Field tomorrow. Johnny
battled through twelve rounds, taking
on Ray Newman, middleweight;
Johnny Drummie, a lightweight; Teddy
Smacker and Young Triano, pair of
baDtams.
This new rule of the Boxing Com
mission requiring the presence of a
boxer to be near the scene of battle
several days before he engages in a
bout is going to be tough one for
some of the boys" remarked Johnny.
II haven't applied for special dispen-
sation, but I'm wondering if it applies
in my case. / guess every one knows
what can do and I'd hate to have to
leave place like this in the midst of
my training. However, I'm going on
the assumption that the rule applies
only to strangers and will not leave
here until Tuesday morning"
Johnny Drummie, who is training
with Buff, will meet Johnny Murray in
one of the eight-round bouts prelimi-
nary to the Buff-Villa affair.

BURLINGTON, VT, Sept. 1o.--Foot-
ball practice at the University Of Yer

ty men reporting to Coach Thomas
Ready daily. Plans for football camp
at Abnaki, Grand Isle, VT, have been
given up, but the squad will hold prac-

Several of last years men have not
arrived in the city as yet, as well as
some Of the new men. Coach Ready
predicts squad of nearly forty by the
opening of college.
Coach Ready will shape his team
this year with the view of defeating
Holy Cross and winning the Vermont
State championship, which is decided
by series of games played between
Norwich, Middlebury and the Univer-
sity Of Vermont.

What of it? Just this: These West
ern clubs as whole have shown much
more Improvement than the Eastern
groups. Only the New York teams OF
the East, are in respectable position.
The six others of the major leagues
have not kept up with the procession;
they have failed to noticeable ex-
tent to keep up with it.
The Western clubs have been more
progres sive--or successful--in trying
to keep up to the big league standard
Of play than the East, the New York
clubs excepted, and the Western clubs
have not Sargained on q big scale as
the New York clubs have done to
strengthen their teams by mid-season
acquiring of ready-made talent.
Not that New York hasn't developed
some players of its own. McGraw has,
such as Smith, Frisch, Young, Kelly
and Cunningham, but not a single
regular of the Yankees, except Aaron
ward and Meusel, is a product of that
clubs own development. Chicago has
shown more enterprise in developing
young talent, and, therefore, recogni-
lion Of what the game most needs, than
any other city. Detroit, too. has shown
marked enterprise, also Cincinnati, and
it lis a pleasure to note the dash and
nerve and hustiing Of these teams.
st. Louis hasn't shown any par
ticular energy In bringing new talent
to light, but with teams up in the
race that fact hasn't been SO notice
able. Cleveland has been laggard
and the result is patent this season.
Connie Mack has tried hard enough
to build up young team, and Robby
of Brooklyn has been no iaggard, but
in exploiting the young player idea
the West is showing more zeal and
more results.
Since joining the Yankees Joe Dugan
has been the class of the American
League at third base. He is better

Jose Alfonso. the Spanish Davis Cup
player who was defeated by William ;.
Clothier, the national titleholdeY of
sixteen years ago, in Saturdays play,
represents the lone break in the ranks
of the seeded men, a self evident in
dorsement Of the new method of max
ing the draw.
Had Charles S. Garland, Of Pitts
burgh, former Davis Cup star. been
able to take the third set from Vincent
Richards yesterday, there might have
been sensational upset recorded.
Richards was in very bad shape as a
result of his attack of ptomaine poison
ing last week, and / doubt that he
could have survived five-set match
yesterday.
Knowing this, the New York boy
went to Garland like a lion right at the
start, taking the first two sets with the
loss of only three games by virtue of
beautiful volleying as he smothered
Garland's returns.
Richards Hard Pressed to Win
Garland was sadly out of form due to
a years lay-off, but in the third set he
began to improve and the games alter
mated on service up to Sd in Car
land's favor, before Richards, realiz-
ing his danger in prolonged strug-
gle, summoned all his remaining
strength and took the last two games.
breaking through service in the last.
Richards was under the care of a
physician to-day, and beyond an auto
mobile drive in the afternoon kept to
his hotel. Tomorrow he will be
| called upon to face young Carl Fisher.
OF Philadelphia, and while the local
| man Is aggressive and hard worker.
richards should come through safely.
On Tuesday however, the "baby" of
the Davis Cup matches" may need all
his resources, fbr his opponent is
liable to be James o. Anderson, Of
Australia, the man who came so close
to defeating champion Tilden in the
Davis Cup matches at Forest Hills
last week.
If Richards can get by Anderson.
| then he is the logical opponent of
William M. Johnston, of California.
In the semi-final round. In that case
we may see another such brilliant
struggle, as these two played in this
same tournament last year when
Johnston finally won in five sets. On
| that occasion, however, the little
| Californian was q sick man, like Rich
ards to-day, victim Of ptomaine
poisoning. To-day Johnston is in
superb condition and ready to play
the game of his career.
Tilden Stands Out in His Half
In the lower half of the draw Tilden
stands IS the dominating figure, with
| Norris Williams and Gerald Patterson
as dangerous contenders. In spite of
! Tilden's rather uneven showing in the
| Davis Gun matches last week I 1ook %o
him TO bring forth his greatest tennis
down here at Germantown before the
week is out. The champion has a way
of raising the power of his game as
| the pressure from the other side of
| the net increases, and he holds his
championship laurels so dearly that |
think we may watch him rise to his
supreme tennis heights in defense of
| these laureis.
