WORLDS GROWN
 TOBE DECIDED
American Net Association Says Worlds Title
 At Stake

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-After scan- nina the strong international entry list for the American mems tennis cham pionship, which is to begin August 9 on the Westside cotirts at Forest Hills, L. l.. the United States Lawn Tennis association Thursday felt justified in announcing that the tournament would involve the championship of the world. In thls the American body may run afoul of the European organizations which reluctantly consented to waive the world championship pletensions of the Wimbledon mems tournament in London. But the character of the en- tiy list seems to bear Out the Ameri- can association, even though no off cill world title can be bestowed on the winner.
 'The remarkable international entry which assures the titular tournament the status of a worlds singles cham. pionship zhas created tremendous inter est says the United States Lawn Tennis association. The presence o1 the Australians, Gerald Patterson, Nor man Brookes, Pat O'Hara, Fred Kalms and William SchIesinger; the French men, Henri Cochet, Jean BOrotra, Jac; ques Brugnon and Rene Lacoste, and the Mexicans, Ignacio Borbolla, Franz Gerdes and Manuel Llano, assures com petition such as has not been seen in any previous tournament under the United States Lawn Tennis associa- tion."
 In order to reward the interest of juvenile tennis players in the game, the association has decided to let in young sters under 16 for 50 cents on two days of the tournament. This is in line with the policy of stimulating the interest of the younger crowd.
 The American association for years refused to recognize the Wimbledon tournament as the world championship show and even refuse. to recognize the Amerit an Tilden as the world cham bion. when bt won it. Therefore, not. wiIhstanding that the greatest play CTS in the world will decide the title at Forest Hills, the European groups probably will refuse to admit that the winner is. any more than merely the American champion.

 With the national single sculls title directly at stake, through default of all previous winners who might defend it the oarsmen of this country and Canada who were entered in the three heats of the association singles event gave their best.

: Whoever it was that said, far back in the first chapter of pre-histoRy as he went down before some giant cave mans bludgeon, that a good big man will always beat . good little man, spoke several sizes of a mouthful He likewise voiced what has since become a sporting platitude. and yesterday s match between Dan Murray of New Orleans, and Jack Simpson of Atlanta, for the singles title of the Cotton States tennis tournament further emphasized its truth ,s
 For Simpson fell 1fl0, 6-1, 3-6, 11-9, in q match that lived up to every tra- dition of finals honor, providing far the prettiest tennis of the entire meet. Murray's service superiority and the splendid physique that have stood him in such good stead before, again proved his savior yesterday.
 Simpson opened with his usual fiery egsress and carried the first set to ]-2 in his favor before Murray checked him and swung into bis own stride. They split the next pair, both playing cautiously and, in q measure, feeling each ether out. Then Murray spurted. Needing one game for the set and a uA% e0Ze 01 Jue HdIcus t1e Atl8uIa entry couldn't stem his antagonists triving. desperate rush through the next two games to knot the count From that point on it resolved into a pains takingly careful vOlleying battle, af- f0rding series of thrills unequalled in the meet. Murray had the atvantage, usually. but time after time Simpson halted him on the verge of victory un- tii- with the count at nine all, the big collegiate luminary, burst through for twO triumphs and a victory in the initial set.
 Simpson here suddenly lost his ac- euracy in one of those spells that have frequently cost him dear. The gulf star crashed through to an easy 6-1 win, Simpson tossing away more than Ealt of the points on his wildness and lack of control from the back line.
 Here the Windy Citian resorted to his amazing tactics of Thursday. Go ing into the third set with his smashing accuracy far from his usual standard. he whirled into a flamhoyant bid for triumph by slashing every return, talk

GIBBONS MEETS
 ENGLISH BOXER
Odds Still Against Bloom field, But Drop On Eve
 Of Bout

LONDON, Aug. S-Everybody in Great Britain who ksows anything about boxing. and a good many thou sNRassw whe~ pFetend theys-dsH't- orIli- naFily take interest in fistfc affairs. seem to he greatly excited over the % round bout which is t0s be fought to- MOTION afternoon in the great Wem- hley stadium by Tom Gibbons, the American Eight-heavyweight, and Jack Bloomfield. the English boxer.
 Already 10000 seats are said to have been sold. an unprecedented number for a British ring battle, and if the weather is good, and it is predicted it will be, the newspaper prophets expect 10000 persons in the stadium.
 Gibbons although he is ten years older and three and a half inches shorter than the BritOn, still remains the favOrite in the betting. The odds on the American. however, which Orixi- rally were as high as tQ1, have steadi- ly shrunk the past two days.
 One thing that has whipped interest m the bout to q pitch unknown in Eng land since long before he downfall of Joe Beckett, Engiand's white hope. p has been the belief bOOmed by the news papers that If Bloomfield should de feat the American, he will have earned the right to have q chance at Jack Dempsey's title.
 The sport writers have been haiIing Bloomfield as the potential rescurer of hls eOuntrys sinking prestige in the ring. which some of the people seem to think went dOwn-for d second time on the last OccasiOn when Beckett was knocked out by Georges Carpentier. BlOomfitId apparently shares in this regard of himself as the possible saviour or Great Brltain's boxing prestige. My Last word" he is quoted as hay ing told one of the newspapermen this afternoon, IS that will fight to my Last gasp to retrieve Great Britain's PresuSe m heavyweight boxing"

While loafInE today on the ere of the nGhEs he issued q modest little state ment m which he said that he did not believe m belittIing an opponent and pratsiHg himself. He was content to say that he was going to try to mt an end to the punching in the early rounds of the battle.

 MORE MATCHES
Davis Cup Team Advances An.
 other Notch In Tourney

BALTIMORE, Aug. S.-Australia advanced another rung in it's climb for the right to meet the United States in the international tennis battle for the Davis cup when it defeated Mexico to- day in the doubles,
 Gerald, Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood turned back Ignaeio Borbolla and Francisco, Gerdes, in straight sets, GA. 6-4, 60.
 Coupled with yesterdays two vic tories in singles today's match gave the Australians three matches or a ma joFity.
 For two sets today the doubles pro duced excellent tennis. The Mexicans tired badly in the last set and Patter- son and Wood had little trouble run ming through six straight games.
 The Australians used their peculiar formation throughout the match, with Patterson at the net and Wood in back court. Both played brilliantly.
 Tomorrow, Patterson will play against Borb6lla and Wood will meet Manuel Llano in singles.

The LOwly Garter

MAI EN look down upon their garters I'VE for the excellent reason that
 they cannot look up to them. Yet the garter, while performing it's indispensable service of upholding our socks and our dignity, need not be the ugly article that custom and tradition paints it. Garters, like suspenders and belts, have lately taken to leading gay life and the brightest of colors have burst out in the webbings. There are two sorts of garters, each appealing to different wearers-the one with a sin gle side support and that with a dou- ble side support, both sketched here. Some men fancy the one and some fa- yor the other. It is an affair between you and your props. The double-sup- port garter certainly keeps the sock tighter and smoother and its popularity is on the gain.
 Similarly, some of us like wide web garters others choose the narrow webs. It is a matter of preference, not pro- priety. By the use of pads, cushions and never-let-go grips the modern gar ter has been made so comfortable that one need never worry that it has fallen down on it's job.
 Brightly striped garters have lately gained their legs to pair off with match ing suspenders. They are shown in all the modish colors--club, college, reg mental and blazer-and they are some times sold to harmonize with belts as we'll. The white garter is the over whelming favorite, though it soils most easily. Black, brown, blue, gray and other colors are in more limited re- quest. Flat. thin clasps make garters more comfortable and unobtrusive.
 Garters are in style, but there is no special style in garters. Whatever suits you best in wear is best to wear. How
