complete Freezing Out of Harry Wills Probable Some Time Today
AL|TTLE NEWS
REGARDING JACK
DEMPSEY AND Wills

New York. Aug. 1o-P)-Jack
Dempsey, king Of the teavyweights.
carried his case to the supreme court
of boxing again today and a pugilis-
tic boil, irritated for four years, came
to head.
The records of the case-one Of the
longest in ring history-show that on
three different occasions the cham
pion agreed to meet his Negro chal-
lenger, Harry Wills. And the argu-
ment against his as he applied today
for a license to carry on his trade
in New York state, appeared to be
that he had failed to accept this
challenge.
But there are arguments for both
sides-on one occasion not so long
ago Dempsey ignored an ultimatum
from the state athletic commission
that he make known his intentions.
At that time his former manager,
Jack Kearns, informed the commits
sion by wire that Dempsey had ac-
cepted the challenge once and there
was no need for accepting it over
and over again.
Here is a history Of the Dempsey
Wills affair in brief form:

Williams and Richards
Win Over Tilden and
Johnston, Forest Hills

Forest Hills, N. Y, Aug. 10-LP)-
R. Norris Williams and Vincent
Richards. National titlehoIders, es-
tablished their supremacy as a
doubles team over William T. Tilden
and William NJ. Johnston by winning
the second and deciding match of a
series of three Davis cup team tests
on the West Side Tennis Club courts
today Sc, GA, 3-6, As, 6-3.
Unlike the first triumph over TIL
den and Williams yesterday at GA,
7-5, the champions were compelled
to play almost two hours today for
their victory. Terrific serving by
Tilden, powerful driving by Johnston
and brilliant volleying by the win
ming pair held the interest of the gal
lery throughout the contest, with the
net play of the champions proving
the deciding factor of the struggle.
Although the members of the big
four" were exhausted by the long
battle, Tilden and Johnston return
ed to the court for two of the four
singles contests which had been
scheduled. The national singles
champion easily defeated Lewis n
White of Austin, Tex, former holder
Of the intercollegiate doubles crown
with Louis Thalheimer at 6-1, 60,
while Johnston divided sets with
George Lott of Chicago, the former
winning the first at GA, and Lott
taking the second at Ga. Darkness
prevented further play at the end Of
the second set.
The late arrival of Williams de-
layed the doubles match an hour and
prevented completion of the singles
contest, in one of which the Davis
cup captain was to have played AL
fred H. Chaplin, Jr., of Springfield,
Mass. Richards, who was to have op-
posed Edward G. Chandler of Cali
fornia, was excused owing to a leg
injury suffered at Rye, n. Y, several
days ago.
