we can have the same reversal in the

RICHARD CONCERNED
ABOUT WILLS HANDS
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW. YORK, June 26.-Firpo hav-
ing confirmed the report that he is
coming to this country to fight Harry
Wills, naming July as the sailing
date, all that remains for Tex Rick
ard to do is to see that Wills takes
care Of his hands. II he comes up to
the battle date with hands and every
thing else in good condition Rickard
may find a paying crowd on hand. He
may.
While the talk is that the winner
Of the Rocky Kansas-Luis Vicentini
fight in Brooklyn on Monday night
will get a chance at Leonard, the
chances are that what aforesaid winner
will get will be the pleasure Of meet
ing Jack Zivic Of Pittsburgh and
Bobby Barrett of Philadelphia.

fed the other night way a real ex-
hibition of science and hitting ability,
and the luckiest thing that ever hap
pened to Paolo was the stopping of
the bout and Zivic's disqualification.
AS for Barrett, here is a ginger
haired chap. who took about ten
rungs up the ladder of. fame in one
step the other night by knocking
Nate Goldman cold. Just recall Gold
mans showing against Lew Tender
and then answer whether or not
Bobby is presumptuous in asking for
a bout with Lefty Lew.
If Jimmy Dougherty OF Leiperville,
whose pugilistic property seems to
be increasing in value all along the
line, can bring Bobby up.to a Tend
ler bout this summer Philly will have
a home and-home affair worth brag-
ging about. And beating Tender,
Barrett will be in the .limelight as
one of the leading-if not the leading
contender for King Benny's crown.
George CLANCY, the knockout artist
from Baltimore, has the ambition to
end his prize ring career with a rec
ord of a hundred knockouts. In Philly

LONDON. June 26.-Each fresh ap-
pearance of Helen Wills on the VIM
bledon courts convinces the British
tennis experts that the American
champion is adapting herself more to
local conditions. The writer's this
morning say that in defeating Miss
Dransfield yesterday she showed
marked advance over her previous ap-
pearances and revealed true cham
pionship form. All her shots had
more accuracy and she kept the ball
in play longer, never attempting to
put over a winning stroke until the
proper opening.
Hope of her surviving to meet Su-
1anne Lenglen Is accordingly rising.
and this is further strengthened by
the defeat of Mrs. Geraldine Beamish,
who had been regarded as a possible
barrier to Miss Wills progress to the
