Wv liam M. Johnston of Cali
fornia defeated Vincent
Richards of New York in straight
sets in their. match in the Wimble-
don tennis championship tourna-
ment today, and thus continues in
the race for the world title. The
score was o., 6-3, IS.
Johnston's attack was merciless
and Richards' finished, but less pow
erful game was unavailing against
the Californian's fierce driving and
all around court generalship.
Richards, because Of his youth and
winning mannerisms. had the sup
port OF the majority of the vast
crowd that packed the stadium and
jammed all available standing space,
but the winner was warmly cheered.
Richards put up game fight, with
the score of the third set at 5-2 in
Johnston's favor.
The New Yorker began a fight that
was as dazzling as 1t was desperate
and forced the score to sail, only to
lose at 7-5. His last service was a
double fault; the second ball hit the
net COIu anu went over, DuI WAS
by an inch or two.
Johnston's method throughout was
TO keep driving deep to Richards
back hand. then, when he had the
youth lodged in far corner, to come
to the net and slash a yolley TO the
other side of the court. Richards
also often came to the net, and there
were frequent thrilling exchanges
from mfdcourt. sometimes with both
men close to the barrier
1t was Johnstons stinging fore
hand with its low trajectory and ac-
curacy which settled the issue

Trying to Sell Film Rights
Johnny O'Neill, a wealthy oil oper-
ator and member OF the American
1920 olympic games, Is back of a
move which, he hopes, will raise the
necessary funds. O'Neill, interested
only in av erting a fiasco for the state,
started negotiations for the sale of
moving picture rights OF the fight
after Jack Kearns, manager of Demp-
sey, and 10y J. Molumby. one of the
promoters, agreed to waive their in
terests in the film.
O'Neil, who yesterday was reported
to have promised to advance $780, 900
OF the money needed to assure Demp-
sey's guarantee, declared the report
was without foundation. and that he
would not contribute another cent
beyond what he has already con-
tributed.
MY only connection with the pic
for their sal.J 50 that 100000 could
be realized for the third payment to
Dempsey, O'Neill said. The pro-
moters and Jack Kearns. who jointly
control 70 per cent of the picture
rights. have agreed to surrender
those rights if their interest can be
Sold
He says he has not reached any one
willing to pay that sum. but several
moving pictures concerns seem to be
interested.
Kearns Declines to Talk.
With 100000 already in the bank
to his credit, Kearns is the coolest
individual connected with the July 4
battle. Kearns received this sum as
Dempsey's first two payments of the
100000 guarantee. plus $4,000 for
his training expenses kearns dis
misses the subject of the final $780,
600 payment in this way:
Il have nothing to discuss until
July 2, when the last 100000 pay
ment is supposed to be paid Dempsey
In accordance with our contract. If
the money is not forthcoming, 1t will
be time for me to talk then"
Yesterday he declined an offer of
a ranch valued at s150.o00 in lieu Of
the third payment. The offer was
submitted by E. F. Cobb. a real es-
| tate man and oil operator of Geyser,
! Mont. but Kearns declared he pre-
ferred cash and that he already owned
too much land.

Plan Consolidation OF
Roads By Legislation
In Next Congress
Proposed Consolidation With Re-
gional Supervision Only Plan
Short Government Ownership

WASHINGTON, - Legislation to
make effective plans being worked out
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion for the consolidation and region
al supervision of the railroad systems
o. the country will be undertaken at
the next congress, Chairman Cumm-
lis OF the Seuate Interstate Commerce
Commission said after a discussion
OF railroad problems with President
Harding Tuesday.
Cummins declared the proposed con-
solldation was the only solution short
OF government ownership, and added
that the President and he agreed that
government ownership was not to be
considered.
Il think consolidation of the rail-
way systems as initiated in the trans
portation act is the only means of
gaining the efficiency the country re-
quires of the railroads" Cummins said.
Moreover, it seems to be the only
method of bringing down freight rates
on commodities on which rates must
be lowered"
The conference was preliminary to
the intensive study the president ex-
poets to. give the railroad situation
prior to his transcontinental speaking
tour, during which he has indicated, he
will devote one or more addresses to
the railroads.
