PUBLIC OPINION DEMANDS TEST.
SEARCH FOR HEAvIES
In BRITAIN is TASK

NEW YORK, September 29.-Jimmy
De Forest, who is perhaps the most
skillful trainer and handler of fighters
in this country. would look for some
thing other than sheer bulk if he were
doing Tex O'Rourke's work in England.
ORourke, as almost every one knows,
is abroad under contract to a British
syndicate to dig up one or more men
who could be developed into world cham
pion heavyweight pugilists. Comment
ing upon the weight and physical prow-
ess of the potential scrappers whom
Tex has found thus far, De Forest says
these 200-pounders are all right so far
as they go, but many things other than
height, avofrdupois and the ability to
throw sugar sacks. juggle railroad ties
and the like are required of men who
hope to take a crack at Jack Dempsey
DO you know what 1t means to be
hitter like Jack Dempsey" he
asked. We'll. it means for one thing
that the bones of his arms and shoul-
ders are perfectly joined. that his
sinews are strung just right, that his
muscles are resilient to the highest
pitch and that in action he o-erdi-
mates everything from his toes to his
head His nerves telegraph to the
motor muscles and tendons like a
flash of light and the impulse is as
| fiashingly obeyed.
That's the reason why on the night
of September IA the man who sug-
gested track athlete alongside the
brawny, bulky Firpo was able to drop
the big Argentine as though he had
hit him with an ak. Championships
seldom go in accordance with size"
So while O'Rourke proceeds with
his collection of human hippopotami
he may some day run upon an APP
polossque youngster who will handle
his big fellows as truck driver
handles team of Percherons.

GLOUCESTER, Mass. October 22-
The schooner Columbia of Gloucester,
has been chosen as American chal-
lenger for the international fisher
mems trophy now held by the Blue
nose of Nova Scotia.
She will sail today for Halifax to
take part in the first race of this
years international series.
The Columbia was chosen by the
American race committee on the ves-
sells showing yesterday in an elm
ination race off this port. The race
was unfinished because of light airs.
The Columbia, built this season. ran
away from her competitors. the Henry
Ford and Elizabeth Howard. The
Ford. believed by many to be the
logical contender for the interna-

the Columbia.
In the nineteen miles which the ves-
sells were able to race in the time
of five and one-half hours, the Column
bias time was nearly nineteen min
utes faster.
The Howard traiIed nearly eight

Five California tennis titles changed
hands yesterday in the California
state championship tournament, and
one title, the mems doubles, went to
Spain and New York. This was won
by Manuel Alfonso and Vincent Rich
ards.

player in the country, in a brilliant
five-set match, 81. s--6. 9-11, 6--3,

three games and two points between
the victor and the runner-up.
William NJ. Johnston and Clarence

doubles honor by Alfonso and Rich
ards in five sets, in which the local
won the first two sets. The match
score was 6--S. 1-6, 6-2, S--6, Ga.
Alonso's play in the fifth set revealed
court covering that has not been
duplicated in any tournament ever
held here. He electrified the gallery
by his stroking while running at full
speed.
Helen Wills, women's national
champion. annexed the state title,
winning from Charlotte Hosmer. 6-3,
6--1. In the match Miss Hosmer
made many placements on Miss Wills,
but the advantage always was with
the champion.
Avery Fo1lett of San Francisco won
the girls national hard court event,
defeating the title holder, Carolyn
Swartz, 6--2, 6--4. Miss Swartz was
outplayed, according to the point
score.

ipal champion, won the junior singles
title from Gervais Hills of the
Berkeley Club. 81. CO, ST, 3-6,
6-1. The finals in the mixed doubles
between Helen Wills and Vincent
