TEX STILL LOOKING
FOR DEMPSEY RIVAL

NEW YORK, September 13.-Harry
Wills. victor over Luis Firpo in -
rounds at BoyIes Thirty Acres Thurs
day night, will leave today to rest three
weeks on a farm with relatives neal
Petersburg. Va.
Both Wills and his manager. Paddy
Mullins, are anxious for the expected
match with Jack Dempsey for the
heavyweight championship, but as there
seems no prospect of that until next
year it is likely that the negro will en-
gage in several fights during the inter-
lude to keep in shape
Tex Rickard was not impressed by
Wills showing, and has made no plans
for a match which would bring the
negro and Dempsey together.
In the meantime Richard indicated
he might stage several additional elm
ination contests before finally picking
the champions next challenger. Wills,
Jack Renault, hard-hitting Canadian ::
Tom Gibbons, who stayed Is rounds
with Dempsey last year. and possibly
Firpo will figure in further tests.
BARLEY Madden. who stayed the
limit with both Wills and Renault,
has 4een prominently mentioned as a
suitable opponent for Fripo during
the indoor season. at Madison Square
Garden
The crowd that saw Wills subdue
the Wild Bull was far below the
ringside estimates. Final tabulation
has not been completed, but the pro-
moter said an accurate check showed
the paid attendance to have been only
4S.50O and the gross receipts $471 900.
The net receipts amounted to s424,-
600. according to the promoter, of
which Firpo, guaranteed 37l2 per
cent. received $4,000, and Wills d
fiat sum Of 100000.

I'VE have three full teams at work
and the squad is the best I've ever
seen at c. U.." says Gormley, and l
cannot help feeling pleased over the
outlook. Another thing, we have
chance to get our men in condition
early. something that has not been
the case in previous seasons because
of lateness in starting practice.
Il am planning to have a long
scrimmage today, probably for two
hours, after which we shall have
fairly good idea of who the best men
are and who we can depend on. The
men are in good enough condition to
stand a long drill. and when you con-
slider that they are ready for that
now and that at this time a year ago
had not even reported for practice
you may realize how much more sat
isfactory conditions are and how
much better we feel"
And the Brooklanders will have to
have. just as good a squad as Coach
Gormley says if they are to get
through their first two games with
credit. Holy Cross on September 81
and Marines on October 4 certainly
should present to the Brooklanders
all the opposition they desire and
perhaps a little more.
The Marines last year beat prac-
tically everything in sight including
Georgetown, and this Fall are said to
be stronger and probably are. And
as Holy Cross seldom is represented
by a poor team, it does not take any
great stretch of the imagining pow
ers to figure the kind of, opposition
the Brooklanders will have in their
first two contests.

Tilden and Little Bill Johnston
clinched the cup yesterday by defeat
ing Patterson and Wood in the
doubles. ST. 6-3, 6-4, 81. They
were playing together for the first
time since they brought the Davis
cup back to America from Australia
in 1920. Tilden and Johnston. after
losing the first set, swept. to victory
largely through individual brilliance
rather than the smoothness of team
work.
Interest in today's match between
Richards and Patterson was height
ened because of its possible bearing
on the national rating. Pointing to
the young New Workers. playing rec
ord this year. some experts expressed
the belief that victory over the Aus
tralian would make his selection for
second place, now held by Johnston, al
most certain. In addition to winning
in the Olympic singles and doubles.

credit.

never a great match by any sctretch

1t was not even a good match. The

so brilliantly over Tilden and Rich

distinct disappointment
Neither Patterson nor O'Hara Wood
was within reaching distance of top
form. Patterson was atrociously off
his best form. In his overhead play
alone was Gerald able to do himself
justice. When he was handling short
lobs the big Australian hit with the
force of d tornado for impressive kills,
but his volleying was weak all through
the match and his ground strokes no
better. Even the great Patterson
service failed to explode with it's
usual devastating results.
OHara Wood was outplaying his
partner by wide margin, yet he was
by no means showing the tennis he
is capable of.
Johnston Best on Court.
Johnston was easily the best man
on the court yesterday. Little Bill
was deadly on his return of service
when facing either Patterson or
OHara Wood, and he was getting in
some deadly work on his severe over
