The only other game to locate upon the football menu of the Crimson this season is the classic with Woodlawn, which is slated for October 25 this time. Both schools had filled their No yember dates before this game was con. sidered, so it is to be played early in the season. This rounds out terrific assignment for green team to tackle. It is harder than last years, which was certainly the most strenuous in the schools history.
 Replacing the Phillips W oodlawn tangle of last year as the feature prep offering of the year is the Ensley- Woodlawn embroglio Thanksgiving morning at Redwood Ensley looks just now the strongest of the trio of city schools, but they will always be given a great battle by the scrappy little COlonels.
 Ensley tackles schedule just about as difficult as the Stillwell aggrega- tion. Disque will be brought here for the debut encounter, with the big con- tests coming fast and furious after that. The only settled dates, besides Thanksgiving Day, are the battle with Sidney Lanier on Armistice Day, No vember 8, in Montgomery, and with Bessemer at Redwood November 1. Both these battles will go long way toward the decision of the state cham pionship.
 Central of Chattanooga will bs played in the Lookout mountain city, while Tech High of Atlanta is bring ing the Jackets there. These games are assured, but date for neither has been set. Ensley will not play Little Rock High this year, the Arkansans being scheduled to come here for game in 1925.
 As for Woodlawn, while the Colonel menu is the most indefinite of all, Woods proteges will have no easy time of it. It is certain that 'Ensley, Phil lips, Tuscaloosa and Messemer have not been made public as yet.
 A trip is pending to Mobile to play Barton Academy. claimants to the title last year, but this has not been finally settled.

BILL TTLDEN SNARES
 FIFTH TITLE IN ROW
Philadelphian's Slashing Attack Brushes John
 bna ston In Straight Sets

Tilden simply took the feet from un- der Johnston with the velocity of his shots, driven with the great power of his broad shoulders and tall sinewy frame. Time and again the ball went whining across the court so fast that Johnston, with only step to take to intercept it, was left flat-footed watch ing the white blur go past him. Or little Bill would make belated leap and barely clip it with his racquet sending it far out of the court or drop ping it into the net.
 The thing began ominously for John- ston. Tilden took the first game in about half a dozen strokes and it was over, 40 and before the little fellow could get hold of one and make de- cent return. In the second set, Tilden seemed to go in for strategy and as he did, he became wild. Johnston had bare chance then and he heartened the crowd which was largely on his side roofing immoderately for a ten. his gathering.
 Regardless of the controversies in which he has involved himself with the authorities who control the game by earning his living from the by-products of the championship, Tilden proved be- yond any ghost of doubt that he is the greatest player on the courts at this hour. He defended the championship this time against field of more than 30 players drawn from eight countries. If there ever was a world champion ship, it is Tilden's at this moment. For eigners did not prosper and most of them were eliminated in the early rounds. Gerald Patterson of Australia was the last of the aliens and Johnston drove him off in their semi-windup match on Monday afternoon.
 The story goes in the stands here that Johnston saved himself this time, hoping to be stronger than usual in his final match with Tilden. He usual ly melts down to 100 pounds or less in the course of a weeks championship play which is always performed in the hottest period of the summer, but this week Johnston exerted himself as little as possible and some of the go,sip on the side lines said he weighed IS pounds more when he went on the court this afternoon than he did at the end of last years championship match.
 The final drew about 10000 people to the concrete half moon and after writh- ing in the heat all afternoon they were driven to cover just at the close of the big match by a gust of wind and rain that soused the delicate sport regimen. tals of the girls and brought the gen tlemen's straw hats sagging limp down over their ears.

JACK DEMPSEY
 TO BE MARRIED
Heavyweight Champion <. Will Wed Estelle
 Taylor, Actress. q. :. .

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2.-Jack Dempsey, worlds champion heavy weight, is going to marry Estelle Fay Tor, the motion picture actress.
 Then he is going to settle down in the country and be a family, man for the rest of his life, the champion declared in making this announcement here. Jack will retire from the ring and Estelle will retire from the screen. No definite date has been set for the we'd ding, but is probbaly will take place ''in year or two". they declare.
 Dempsey and Miss Taylor, who have known each other for nine years, have been together almost constantly since the champions return from the west. Miss Taylor and her grandmother, Mrs. F. D. Roilan, of Wilmington, Del, were in Philadelphia Tuesday visiting Jimmy Dougherty, boxing manager of Ridley park and Jacks favorite referee.
 At the moment Dempsey is a bit troubled.
 Big Problem
 If you are the worlds champion fighter how do you convince the lady of your hearts desire that beneath it all you are as gentle as a lamb?
 Such is Dempsey's problem.
 He's always telling me how harm less he is,' said Estelle, who is the lady to be convinced. They were having lunch together in a quiet Philadelphia hotel, just Jack, EsteIle and grandma.
 The fistic monarch, it seems, has the sweetest ways.
 Shall order you some more cream, honey?" he asked at one point.
 Apparently Jack has been at work on his proposition long enough to have made some headway.
 You know, he is always trying to get the fighting idea out of my head" she explained, with coy smile in the box CTS direction. "Well, watched him while he was making one episode in his picture out in Hollywood and maybe he didn't have to lay on the cave man stuff. burst out laughing. It was too bad had to see him taking on that way after the soft line he had been handing me"
 Almost Queered Works
 "Yeh, she nearly queered the whole works" grumbled William Harrison Dempsey, with a queer quirk around his mouth, where he didn't quite smile, Laughing right out loud like that. Here I was,, sticking out my chest like wild man, looking for more men to fight. and she burst out laughing" "When I get married" said Jack, I'm going to stay home and look after my wife and family. I'm not going to have any other interest. Estelle and are going to settle down in the coun- try somewhere, not too far from the bright lights, and be happy all by our selves.
 T think want to live in the east and so does she"
 "So that means that we each have to give up our career" he continued. ] 'Estelle still, has lot to do in pie lures and have a couple of fights I want to get off my chest. Just a lit tie more to do. But after that's done, we'll be ready.

SPLENDID GRID MENU
 AMONG HIGH SCHOOLS
Phillips To Close For Game Here With Boys
 High, Atlanta, November 29

st
 High school football teams in Bir- important games, but this autumn bids fair to surpass immeasurably even that of 1923 particularly in the matter states. Among the three city high outside Alabama will be met, while there is host of games equally import ant among the aggregations within the confines of our own state.
 Phillips schedule, indeed those of Ensley and Woodlawn, too, is in an indefinite state, insofar as dates are concerned. Most of the games have been contracted for, but the playing days have not yet been set, despite the fact that the opening of school and practice is only two weeks distant.
 It is expected that Anniston and Tuscaloosa will be included on the card, as there is a verbal agreement to that effect, but either appears too strong for an opener. It is thought that Walker County, Berry High or Bibb County will be contracted with to ini. tiate the year.
 Meridian, Mississippi, will be played sometime in October, on that teams home field Columbus, Ga, which also came here last fall, will be visited for return contest, while another trip is slated to Jacksonville to take on Duval High again.
 This is one of the feature scholastic games of the entire country, and while Phillips has been sadly weakened by losses from the great 1924 machine and Duval is nearly intact, it is ex- pected to be one of the closest and hardest fought of the year.
 Central of Chattanooga is to be in- cluded on the card, coming to Birming- ham as part of the home-and-home ar engagement which will be in it's third year.
 What should be tremendous draw. ing card will be the Boys High of Atlanta Phillips struggle, which, it is thought, will be carded for Redwood the day after Thanksgiving. This game is very assured. only '''v details re. maining to be worked out.

 WEST SIDE TENNIS CLUB, FOR EST HILLS, N. Y.,, Sept 2--Little Bill Johnston, the flyweight Californ- ian, a tennis star who neither parts his name in the middle nor adorns it with little curl-paper of numerals on the end, was whipped again Tuesday afternoon in the final round of the mems national tennis championship which, this year confers the unoffocial championship of thessworld. William T. Tilden, 2nd, thea anstere Philadel- phian, met another audacious challenge from the bony little fighter from the western slope and spanked him again, this time with disdainful ease. The scores were 6-1, 9-7, 6-2.
 If a guy could be pinched for try ing, Johnston would have police record as long as the cast of characters in the battle of Gettysburg. This was the fifth time in five years that John ston had clattered all the way from California to the eastern seaboard, fought his way through the whitening contests of the preliminary rounds and stepped up to Tilden in the final match, which, in each case was tantamount to saying: William T. Tlden. 2nd, my names Bill and I've got an idea I can wallop you" ,s
 Tilden, after winning, his fifth cham pionship in five years, may now retire from the tournamentsG.an and clear the way for little Bill Johnston in 1925. Tilden was having one of his moods on the day that this tournament be- gan and announced that The was sick of it all. As the phrase goes in the movies, to which he has bethrothed him self, sick of the sham and the tinsel of amateur athletic society and longing to go way out west to Hollywood.' He also wished to devote himself to writ ing about tennis, so that the little kiddies now growing up. in the remote ness of Wyoming, Idaho, and such wild places might go out into the world with some knowledge '.of the game. There was suspicion At the time that this farewell might be-, only bit of bally-hoo fo4 his book on tennis which came out simultaneously, anyway, noth- ing has been said about the matter since and it is not yet certain whether Tilden is a defending champion for the coming year or retiring cham pion.
 However even if Tilden quits, Vim cent Richards gave Tilden much harder fight on the preceding day, and Richards might bar little Bill from the title in years to come as Tilden has in the past.
