SPANISH TENNIS STAR WINS GREAT MATCH FROM BILL

SKOKIE CUNTRY CLUB, GLEN COB, H.. July S.--Manuel Alonzo of Spain defeated William T. Tilden, II, of Philadelphia and worlds most fla nous tennis player, S-6. 11-13, 6-3, 6-1, here today at the Skokie Coun- try club before a crowd of $500 thrilled spectators by displaying a brand of brilliant net play that had Tilden on the defensive during a great part of the match for the Illinois state open singles title.
 Tilden played marvellous, but the untiring physique and dogged de- termination of the fast moving Spaniard wore down the great Tilden.
 Alonzo's cross-court drives were perfect and rallies to the net forced Tilden to extend himself on every shot. The brilliance of the Spaniard pleased the gallery of society folks. His placements and wonderful driv- ing force gave Tilden one of his worst defeats.

AS a prodigal son goes forth into the world to seek his for tune, so will Claude Wilson, Bir- minghams great little box fighter, leave the Magic City Tuesday in quest of fame and in- dependence in the squared arena.
 With the stellar little scrapper will go Tommy Tompkins, for the past three of four years fight matchmaker at the B. A. C., the befreckled one having the man. agership of Wilson.
 Wilson and Tompklns are leav- ing the Magic City with some thing of shadow cast over their careers here, due to the unfor- tunate affair with Jimmy Proto two weeks ago. The world is a hard judge, and the world decided that the Wilson faction was to blame in that row, and for that reason the shadow Is resting over the camp of Claude and Tommy.
 Wilson and Tompkins will stop off at Atlanta this week, for a fight there Friday night. Claude will meet Terry McHugh, of back East, and that the bout will be one of the most important of Wilson's career goes without saying.
 After their lay-Over at Atlanta this week, Wilson and his lunl1y manager travel on, winding up at Paterson, N. J., Tommy Tomp- kinS' home town. There the big Eest fight of all for Claude will be staged. Eddie O'DOwd, un- beaten bantamweight challenger from the middle west and com sidered knockout king among the little fellows, will be Wilson's opponent In n bout at Paterson on July 23. For Wilson, the bout will mean Il stepping stone to things higher up, for n victory over Eddie O'DOwd would qualify Claude for consideration in the most exclusive of fight circles.
