BILL JOHNSTON
 WINS TOURNEY
Beats Fellow Californian, snOd-
 grass, In Straight Sets

NEWPORT, R. l.. Aug. 16-'.Lit- tie Bilr' Johnson, San Francisco ten his star and second-ranking player in the world, won the singles champion ship at the annual invitation tourna- ment of the Newport Casino here Sat urday, defeating Harvey Snodgrass of Los Angeles in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2.
 Snodgrass, who ranks ninth among leading national players, was suffer- ing from a lame shoulder and was in DO condition to threaten Johnston, who consistently played the sterling brand of tennis which has placed him among the first ten" for the past ten years.
 Last year, also, Snodgrass was run ner-up, being defeated by Howard Kin sey, San Francisco, Johnston not com peting in the neIes.
 The two finalists in Saturdays play successfully battled their way through a field composed of 64 players, includ- ing ten of the twenty ranking players in tho United States. William T. Til dren, II, first ranking player. R. Nor ris Williams, Il to in the national list, Vincent Richards 4, Francis T.. Hunter 5, and Howard and Robert Kinsey, 6 and 10, respectively, did not compete.
 In the first round of the tournament Johnston defeated D. w. Policeman, New York, and then progressed steadi- Iy through remaining rounds, disposing of l. Wienstein, New York, Waiter Westbrook, Los Angeles, Dr. George King, New York, Norman E. Brookes, Australia, and finally Suodgrass.

WILSON AND ANTLEY
 AWAIT OPENING BELL
Great Interest In Attempt Of Former Local Star
 To Come Back

The Wilsonian administration of at tack will be used against the Antley- ian theory Monday night at the Blr- Iningham Athletic club, and great will be the gasps thereof as fists sink into stomachs and as stalwarts sink into the canvas. Monday night you know, is the date set apart for one of the greatest fistic cards ever brought to Birmingham. On that momentous occasion,, Claude Wilson, the pride of local fans, will test his wares against Boots Antley of Columbus, Ga, and will ascertain if his fists, wind, foot work and ability to take lem are as good as ever.
 It marks the second meeting between these two gladiators of gloyeland. Claude was not gladiating with any degree of consistency upon their first meeting, and Antley was gladiating all over the ring. He gladiated 80 ferocious- ly that by the time the sixth round came up, Claude didn't. His seconds tossed the sponge into the ring, Ant ley won a technical knockout and Will son went down in ignominious defeat.
 He came back to Birmingham with his head bowed in shame, but the old fire still in his eyes. T will get him yet" Claude promised himself as he went about a systematic training sched- ule. You see, after year of inactivity so far as the ring was concerned, and with no training to erase the flabbiness and slowness, Claude went down to Co., lumbus.
 He was tricked into the battle, you might say. He thought Antley was a third rater and too late he found that he was anything but that. Wilson didn't learn until after the battle that AntIey had knocked Freddie Boorde out on couple of occasions and that he had also doled out the sleep Punch to Lulie Tener of Charleston, S. c.
 As Claud rounded into shape he went east and booked three bouts in Paterson, N. J. With the return to condition came the return of confidence and he waded into his foes in the east from the first gong and handed them
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-17

all severe beatings. From there he went over to New York city where for several weeks he trained with Panch Villa, acting as the champions sparring partner. He learned much, increased his wind and endurance, and now he is back in Birmingham to reap that sweet revenge that he has been dreaming about.
 Maybe he will continue to dream about 1t Monday from snoozing van tage point on the canvas; who can tell? Antley came into Birmingham with all the confidence in the world. He has already announced that he would duplicate his knockout over Will son and that it would be a real hay maker this time, if Claudie's seconds would refrain from tossing in the sponge. T will press the old button on the jaw" says Antley with mis- chievous smile and a wicked gleam in his eyes and there are many in Bir- mingham among the box-fight fraternity who believe he wills do just that little thing.
 Aside from the main go which looks from this angle like the best bout ever brought to Birmingham on any oc- casion, the remainder of the card will stack up well from a standpoint of merit, too. In one of the six.round semi-windups Danny Stevens will go against Knock-em-dead Stevie Sarron. Danny had Sarron's number in their last meeting more than a year ago.
 In the other six-round affair Young Hood, who tortured Sailor Simpson so severely at the last card staged Ly the club, will go against Bogie Saab. A. n T..sn l. " r echi, the -Assyrian, will be sent against Scrapiron Williams, a newcomer from Nashville, who has bOasted at length about his pugilistic prowess. For the wrestling part of the program Charlie Vincent will match his skill and strength against Kid. Lott.
 Advance ticket sales and the merit of the card brings forth the prognos- tication that one of the greatest crowds ever to see a B. A.. c. attraction will be on hand Monday night.

MORE OLD MEN FOR PAINTERS Mitt Greene To Return To Sunshine Slopes In
 Fall

The Panther growl changed to a smile Saturday and the alleged fero- cious beast licked his chops happily and took a philosophic view of the world in general and football in par ticular. The cause of this phenome~ non: Mitt Green, star fullback of the 1922 squad and an absentee from Bir- nIingham-Southern last season, an- nounced that he would be back to Sun shine Slopes this fall and again don the spangles.
 With the old reliable and sometimes scintillating Mitt Green in the back field for that opening game against the Auburn Tigers Saturday, September 27, when the new stadium will be dedicated and with announcement having already | been made that Greek Griffin, another baekfield star of 1922, would be back i; and with the knowledge that Red Farr, Bullo Williams, Black, Yielding and Stead would surely return, no wonder that was an upheaval in the Panther stock.
 This means, by no means, that Bir- mingham-Southern wilf put forth the best football team in her history this season. Just what the Panther outfit will do with a system of coaching that has been changed in it's entirety is more or less problematical. It may take a year or more for the change in style to soak in. But it does mean that Coach Harold Drew, the newcomer, will be well-fixed in backfield material this fall, no matter what happens in the line. And it means that he can start his work here upon his return from Coach Rockpe's coaching school in a week or so with a full-bloom smile run ming along his frontispiece.
 That the Panther style of defense and Offense will be changed from cellar to garret goes without saying. For years the midwest style of offense has been in vogue. Charlie Brown brought it here from Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt got it through McGugin from Michigan. Burryup Yost is one of the founders of this style of play, which allows the ball to be snapped to any number of backkield men, and etc.
 The new coach will inaugurate the eastern style of play with the quar- terback not only running the team, but in majority of instances handling and passing the ball.
 It was stated at Birmingham-SOuth- e1n Saturday in reference to the open ing game of the season when the new stands will be dedicated that reserved seats taking care of 2,000 patrons would be sold prior to the day of the game. The seats will be in the choice sections of the new stands. In Addi- tion to the concrete stands which will seat around 5000 people it is under stood that knock-down temporary eir- GUS seats will placed at the eastern side of the gridiron immediately oppos- ite the concrete stands. and that parking space for those who care to sit in their cars and see the game will be arranged.
 In all there will be accommodations

 WEST SIDE TENNIS CLUB, FOREST HILLS, L. l., Aug. 16.-- Two men staggered down the steps from the press tent to the tournament courts in this stadium Saturday after noon, carrying a big silver cup, the size of yearling keg, between them. One of them alsU had bushel or so of roses, tied with ribbon about the stems, and the others free arm was twined around two smaller cups.
 They set the big one down in front of Helen Wills, who had just defeated Mrs. Molla Mallory again in the same place, and the man who had the roses stuck them in the cup, then stepped back and said Twin it again next year and you can keep itH The other fellow handed Helen the larger of the two other cups and gave the smallest of the lot to Mrs. Mallory,
 The people in the gallery, who hither- to had maintained a manneriy silence, in compliance with the rule that tennis crowds shall be seen but not heard, now started slapping their hands to- gether and someone, suspected of being a prize-fight customer, yelled, ''Sockoi Alta Gal, Helen" Several thousand lorgnettes were turned on him at once like so many burning glasses and he fried with humiliation.
 Having no further part in the pro- ceedings, Mrs. Mallory now excused herself and walked off the court, smil- ing as though the little pint cup were exactly what she wanted most in the world.
 Easy Victory
 Mrs. Mallory had been defeated with an ease and grace and effortless non chalance that were almost insulting, Helen, who took the American women's championship from her last year, kept it from her for another year by turning her back in the final match of the tournament, 6-1, 6-3. Mrs. Mallory didn't seem to belong in the final round at all. Helen had much hard CT fight against Mary K. Browne in Fridays semi-final match, and now that the tournament is all over and Helen is champion again, it is plain that that bout with Miss Browne was the real battle of Helen's defending campaign. It was the only one in which she was in danger of losing. The match with Mrs. Mallory was just a skirmish.
 Mrs. Mallory has been the champion

HELEN WILLS CHECKS
 MRS MALLORY AGAIN
Young California Sorceress Of Nets Lets Oppon-
 ent Beat Herself

seven times but it is not likely that she ever will be again for Miss Wills is in exuberant health and just q juvenile and seems capable of beating her any time they start.
 Helen's system is to play to Mrs. Mallory's back-hand and let her beat herself. This means that she slams the ball to the left of Mrs. Mallory who then has to scamper some distance and return the ball with backward slap from her "wrong side" Some of them can do this almost as well as they hit fore-hand shots. Helen, herself, got into one rally in which she made four consecutive back-hand returns, all of them hard, swift low balls just clearing the net, before she drove the fifth one into the webbing. But Mrs. Mallory doesn't like them on the off-sfde and is likely to bang the ball out of the court or dump it into the net if she is able to handle it at all, as she sometimes isn't.
 Mrs. Mallory Rallies.
 Helen was leading 5-1 in the first set before Mrs. Mallory was able to fierce game to deuce. Then she crowded Helen's back-hand, probably figuring that what has hard for her to dc would be no easier for the tranquil young woman who was humping all over the turf on the other side of the line. But Helen seemed to like them just as well one way as another and the game was hers after Is points had been played
 Helen made romp of the first three games in the second set. The fourth went to deuce and finally Helen lost it through wildness Miss Wills then ran the score to Al and on the sixth game the pair of them leaped like spring lambs snatching the ball off the grass with gymnastic lunges until Molla Shot it into the net for the game-point. That made it 5-1. Helen began to take chances. She needed only one game to win and she could gamble for . couple of games without much risk. Mrs. Mallory became cautious and tense. She won the next two. Score 5-3. Helen went after the title. She won the set, the match and the championship by talk ing the next game, 6-3.
 Mrs. Mallory didn't need the cup anyway. In her ten years or so of tournament tennis here and in Europe, she has collected enough utensils of this nature to bail out the Erie canal.

WHITEY LEADS JUNIOR WHEEL Ruth Skids Slightly, But Is Still Far
 Ahead

Detroit, for brief period last week took the lead in the American league pennant race, but could not hold it, but the Tigers achieved other honors on which they may have longer tenure they took the batting lead away from the Yankees, though they have to share it with Cleveland.
 Babe Ruth dropped several points in batting during the week, along with his team, according to the latest aver ages compiled was hitting just an even 400.
 Whitehill of Detroit, took undisputed possession of the pitching honors tenn porarily, with his 13 games won and four lost, for percentage of .T65.
