TILDEN IS PICKED
 FOR TENNIS TITLE
No One Appears Capable of De.
 thronins Big Bill"
tBy Art Carlscn)

New York, Sept. {. - Fourteen years ago brilliant Billy Larned walked off with his fifth national tenis title in succession. He beats Beals Wright for the second time in as many seasons to turn the trick.
 Until Bill Tilden came along nc racaueteer since the halcyon days or Larned had been able to nut over such a sensational string of successes Tllden equaled Larneds record last year.
 This season the lanly Quaker has chance to set a new mark for modern times by going his name- sake Of years ago one better. And what is more Big Bill" seems pret- ty sure of doing it.
 As we scan the net horizon we md no one looming up capable of ousting Tilden from his throne. In fact, no one possessing the ability to give him a real battle.
 Since the 1920 championships, when Tilden first gained the laurels by defeating Bill Johnston, the mite from California, he has ruled the roost without a great dea lof dif1- culty.
 Year after year he has blasted his way through the flashiest field the pastime has been able to pro- duce. And each season it has been the same old story - Tilden wins again.
 This time out the situation sp. pears similar to that of other cam paigns. For the Philadelphia monarch is due to face just about the same galaxy of stars. Richards Johnston, Johnson, Williams, the kinseys and others 6fe the old guard will once again strive to dethronf the king.
 Likewise, there will be g few members Of the younger group vie. Ing for supremacy. For instance George Lott, Lucien Williams and Johnny Hennessey. But they all look alike to Tilden. who seems bent on clinging 10 the old olive branch for some time to come,
 Of course there'll be a bunch of foreign celebrities in the starting list, Rene Lacoste and Jean Boro- tra, the French aces, will be in- eiuded. And so will the Australian trio, Patterson, Anderson and Hawkes.. Manuel Alonzo, the flashy Spaniard, is another,
 But none of them appears to have even an outside chance of kneckine Big Bill' from off his lofty perch Lacoste and Borotra are good play. CTS but lack experience. Patterson Anderson and Hawkes. are fairl, Well-seasoned veterans, Australia's < best no doubt yet not in Tilden's class by a wide margin. Alonzo's fair, that's all
 True, virtually every tennis championship has its upset. But there isn't q contender in the lineur appearing capable of tipping over the old dope bucket to such an ex. tent as eliminating Tilden. Other reputed stars may drop out before the onslaughts of some so-called lesser lights, but Tilden' is hardl, likely to be one of them.
 Hence the 1925 battle for the ma. tlonal crown stacks up as a cut and dried affair, with Big Bill' Tilder quite certain of beating Billy Larned's old record by hanging UT six championships in a row.

Turns in Freak Trick
 By Pitching Both Hands

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 4 Rl-Ralph Red" Davis, first baseman of the Shamokin club of the New York Pennsylvania league, pulled an am- hideXtrous pitching stunt in yester- days game with Scranton after he took the mound in the eighth in- ming.
 Formerly a southpaw hurler, but later turning over as right handler and changing his position to first base, Davis took the mound at the beginning of the inning and after pitching to one batter, right handler, took off his glove, put it on his right hand and started to pitch left handed against left-handed bat ting. The local club got one scratch hit off his delivery in the two in- rings, Davis pitching righthanded to four batters and left-handed to the other four.
 It was the first time the trick was ever performed In 6 professional game in this city.

NEW MANAGER OF CUBS
 WAS BRILLIANT CATCHER
George C, Gibson Also Brings to Chicago Three Years Experience as Manager.

Chicago, Sept 1 tPA--George C. Gibson, new pilot of the Chicago Ma tionals, brings to the almost pros trate Cubs record as one of the most brilliant catchers of the Ma. tlonai league as well as three years experience as leader of the Pitts. burgh Pirates.
 The successor of Walter C"Rab- bitD Maranville, who took the helm yesterday when the "Rabbit' decided 10 quit as leader holds the National league record for several feats in back-stopping.
 He caught 1850 games in one sea. son as member Of the Pirates, he caught 14o consecutive games an- other mark, he caught more than 100 games in each of six years, and he caught 1195 games all told in the senior circuit, record which stood until Ivy Wingo of Cincinnati prone it recently.
 Gibson took the place of Oscar Dugey as coach of the Cubs last winter. His tenure of office as man. ager will likely not extend beyond the present season. Current reports give Joe Mccarthy, manager of the Louisville American association club consideration as the club leader next year,

lpiioN III lSSdiu lO Sdlllto that dl halted by rain? Is there any set rule as to the time a game can be held up when rain or darkness tempo rafily halts play?
 For years there was time limit of 80 minutes on rainfall. That is. if the umpire suspended play be- cause of rain and at the expiration of 30 minutes rain was still falling, if was up to the umpire to call off the game. Such action was manda- tory.
 Now the matter of whether play can be continued or not is entirely np to the judgment of the umpire. He is the sole judge as to whether or not resumption of play will be possible,
 If at the end of 3n minutes the condition of the grounds is such that he believes further play will be inn possible and the rain is still falling, if is within his power to termnate the game.
 However, if the ground is well covered, and at the end of 80 min utes the rain is still falling hard, the umpire can delay his judgment as long as he desires, if he believes there is an excellent chance to con. tnue play should the rain subside,
 This new rule is an improvement over the set time limitation that for years was in force. Perhaps the best feature is that 1t makes possible the playing of game before big crowds when a strict interpretation of the
 old rule would force the cancellins of the game.
 Since the rule was put into effect I have finished scored of games and saved thousands of dollars that would have otherwies gone into the
 discard had the game been called off simply because a slight drizzle
 was falling at the expiration of 80 minutes.

(BY NEA sERVICE)

New York, Sept, 4.-Will the United States Davis cup team again triumph in the international tennis matches this season and thus excel the five successive victories hung up by Australia IS campaigns back or will the run of American successes be finally halted?
 Those questions, quite momen- teue in the realm of netdom, will be answered September 10 when Uncle Sammy's racquet wielders clash with either France or Australia in the challenge round.
 Clean Sweep for America
 Since Bill Tiden joined the elite ranks of Davis cup players he United States has made a, clean sweep of all opponents. In other words, this country has been de- lending champion since Tilden climbed into national, in fact, world wide, recognition in 1920.
 In the intervening years America has faced Australia four times and Japan once in the finals. And out side of once or twice has handed the foe a grand slam.
 This year the situation again looms much the same. For, with that sterling quartet of Tilden, Johnston, Richards and Williams carrying the American standards to the front it surely stacks up as an other willing fiesta as far as Uncle Sam'e representatives are concerned
 Tilden and Johnson rate pretty much by themselves in singles play, while Richards and Williams are equally capable of putting up q worthwhile exhibition in the doubles.
 Whether America will meet Aus tralia again or whether 1t will be France that forms the opposition will not be known until the outcome of the clash between the two zone winners early this month,
 Big Four" Too Strong
 But regardless of Americas ep~ ponent, the |. S. quartet should be able to chalk up another triumph in the blue ribbon classic of the pas time. For neither Australia nor France appears to have combina- ton stout enough to hold the Big Four" in check.
 So, on paper at least 1t looks like 1925 victory for this country, which would establish a new record for consecutive wins in Davis cup play and that in itself is quite an incentive to battle for.

John E. Bird, as attorney gen

Davis Of Michigan, in 1917 made a
survey Of the territory in question
in the boundary dispute and
brought in a report that Michigan
had no case except perhaps claim
to some small islands in the Men

said that the boundary as it is
claimed by Wisconsin in the Mon
treal region was correct and that
the claims of Michigan could not
be established.
