JOHNSTON FACES A
 HARD NET SIEGE
Strength as Davis Cup Defender
 to Be Measured Today

Newport, R. l., Aug. A R - William M. Johnston of California who for more than a decade has welded one of the most formidable racquets on the American courts | today faced the first of series of exacting tests by which his strength as 1926 Davis cup defender will be measured.
 Opposed to him in the third round of the annual Newport Casino tennis tournament was Hugh G. M. kelleher of New York, whose smooth back court game of few mistakes has tumbled many a hard-driying player to defeat. Be- yond Kelleher loomed an even more threatening array of gut strung bats, with Brian I. c. Nor ton, finalist here last year; Alfred H. Chapin, jr.. of Springfield. Mass. and Francis T. Hunter of New York in the same half of the draw. And still further off hung the possibility of his second battle of the season against William T. Tilden.
 Although the mighty atom" has expressed confidence in his ability to regain his form of 1925, it remains for the historic Newport courts to give his hopes their most critical test of the year on the eve of Amcrica's sixth attempt 10 de- fend the Davis cup.
 Little Bill" has begun impress sively. Without going 10 his favorite position at the net yesterday he brushed aside the opposition of Nathaniel w. Niles of Boston, 6-4. G-1.
 Tilden. who has been seeded in the upper half of the draw with Manuel Alonso, pr. George King, Cranston Holman and Washburn, today had as his opponent H. R. Johnson, jr., of Wahan. Mass, for mer holder of junior doubles hon. orS with Malcolm T. Hill,

.BEGLEY'S OUTFIT
 PLAYS PLAINVILLE
Spring & Buckley Team to Meet
 Glass Of TrumbuI- Town Tonight

The clash of the season as far as l PlainVille baseball fans are concern l ed, is scheduled to take place to-
 night in the governors home town
 when Nom Begley and his cast of All-Stars from Spring X Buckley's invade the place to meet the Busi- 1 nessmen's team. This will bring to- ge.her champion outfit at the soft | ball game and whirlwind combin- ation with the hard ball. Begley figures that his crew will be slightly handicapped because of the fact that hard ball will be played, but despite this, he has all the confi- dence in the world that the team will come through with a victory.
 Plainville has sent over word to the effect that the regulars will be given an evening off tonight and the substitutes will be used in the line up. Mike Sullivan who has been a foreman in the fire department for at least ) 0years, will be stationed ct first base with Charlie Meyero- wit" a running mate of Louis (Kid) kaplan at second. Mike Levins will be at the hot corner with Ralph Thrall at short.
 In the outfield, Billy Durham who has recently recovered from a bad case of fiat feet, will cover the left garden. Louis Fodt. the old eagle eye" of the Plainville nine will probably chase flies in center while there are many candidates for the right field position including Tom Prior, Tommy the Restaurant man who could give Paavo Nurmi a great battle, Sam Castle who knows q baseball bat when he sees one. Three fingered Brown DeMeo the "cannonading kid" John Pet tinato, Johnny Conlon and several others. Al Bordeau will probably be selected as the slab-artist with Bill Burrey behind the bat. Charlie Conlon will act as substitute short stop to alternate with Stanley Smith in retrieving foul balls. Other pitchers in line for a chance to work tonight are Jim and Jack Murphy, two red-heads, Rod Hart and Char lie Hird.
 It may well be seen from this im- posing array of diamond stars that Nom Begley is out for a tough tussle tonight. What with Stanley Gwillim. Frank Wheeler, Henry Trumbull and John Kimmel as pinch hitters with Judge NJ. o. Ryder calling them from behind the bat, Plain- vile fans cant see how Begley can ever hope to win. Nathan Prior will alternate with Bud" Graham in caring for the bats while Hughie Flood and Bill Foran will keep the throats of the players wet with water.
 The game will be called at o'clock sharp and probably the larg- est crowd of this or any other sea- son will be on hand to watch the fray.

'TUNNEY ID SELECT
 NEW TRAINING CAMP
Challenger Will Be Within Two Hours Ride From Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Aug. 24. Gene Tunney will be quartered in q new training camp, probably located within two hours ride of Philadel- phia. within the next few days.
 Billy Gibson, manager of the challenger for the worlds heavy weight championship, left today to inspect a half dozen sites. He was urged by Promoter Tex Rickard to make a selection as quickly as pos sible. as Rickard desires 10 have Tunney. in training on the scene of the battle-ground without further delay. Gibson said, however. he will not definitely select the spot for Gene's camp until he has con suited the challenger.
 "Tunney does not like the sea shore" Gibson said. Consequently. I had to turn down offers from Wildwood and other resorts on the coast. It is possible We will select a camp around the Deleware water gap. although I am considering camp just on the outskirts of Phila- delphia.'
 The 1000 marines ~encamped at the sesqui grounds gave Dempsey q cheer during his tour yesterday and then burst into cries of i've want Tunney." Tunney, a former marine. will be assured of a rousing well come by this group when he comes to Philadelphia, his former buddies declaring they will have big parade and a brass band when the challenger comes to town and give him greater reception than that accorded the champion.
 Gibson. with Promoter Rickard and Jack Dempsey, yesterday in spected the $3,00O,OO0 Municipal stadium in which the title contest will be decided September 2S. He marveled at the size of" the massive concrete bowl declaring it would furnish perfect setting for the fight.
 Rickard has opened his headquar- ters here, placing a corps of as sistants from Madison Square Gar den in charge of ticket reservations and other details. Ricllard planneoA to return to New York today. but will be back before the end of the week

 There was rainbow behind the clouds that poured moisture on the gallant St. Louis Cardinals and their visitors, the Boston Braves yester- day.
 After struggling valiantly for the past two weeks to oust the Pitts burgh Pirates from the lead in the National league, the men of Horns by sat back and watched mother nature-with the aid of Brooklyn turn the trick for them. Today the St Louis clan is perched on the pin- nacle, although the margin that separates it from the Smoketown warriors is less than point.
 More distasteful to the Pirates, perhaps, than the loss of first place, was the carefree manner In which their old field boss, Max Carey. con- tributed to the downfall. His speed and batting power, clothed in an enemy uniform for the first time in II years, enabled Brooklyn to take the first game of a doubleheader, z to 2. Max made two clean hits, walked once and scored two runs, and the home town fans roared their approval as the deposed cap tain celebrated his first appearance with Brooklyn in lusty fashion. He failed to appear in the second game.
 Although the Pirates unlimbered their heavy artillery in the second and hammered Ehrhardt and Will Hams for 10 runs while the opposi- ton gathered but two from the crooked slants of southpaw Yde, the damage had been done and the Cardinals looked through the rain at visions of their first pennant.
 Meanwhile the Cincinnati Reds added another thorn to the New York Giants crown. With the Mc- Graw aggregation enjoying to 3 lead in the last of the ninth by yir- ture of Kent Greenfeld's excellent pitching, the Reds came to life and tied the game through the Giants mental lapses. They then went out in the tenth and hammer ed home the winning marker on Walkers single, pass, and Pipp's ringing double. thus maintaining a position just half game behind the leaders.
 Cincinnati has struggled through 46 innings to win three games. Sat urday they played the Braves to a 2-2 tie in If things and Sunday de- feated Boston In a doubleheader, both contests going to extra frames.
 The hammering Yankees stretch cd their lead to Q full games in the American league, nosing out Cleve- land, to 2. despite Levsen's classy hurling. Shocker kept the Indian hits we'll scattered.
 Marberry's famous relief act fail ed for Washington against St. Louis when he uncorked a wild throw in the eighth inning that paved the way for four enemy runs. He was obliged to stand by and watch four-run deadlock turn into an to { St. Louis victory.
 The Atheltics took their second straight game from Chicago, to l. Howard Ehmke holding the west erners in check. Another rookie famed brilliantly in the Athletic outfield. The new find, Alex Metzle, cutting off three runs by spectacu- lar leaning catch off Talk In the eighth.

DELANEY CARPENTER
Tex O'RourlIe Announces Ncgotia- tions Have Been Started for Light Heavy Bout

Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 24. P|- Tex O'Rourke, manager of Georges Carpenter, announced here last night that negotiations have been started for title bout between the French fighter and Jack Delaney, light heavyweight champion of the world.
 We had been on the trail of Paul Berlenbach," O'Rourke said, but Delaney succeeded in getting first crack at the title. We have been assured, however that our challenge will be given consideration and that a championship bout would be ar ranged.

year and whipping him beyond the pale shadow of doubt.

This was the fight, by the way, that saw Tunney making his first definite steps toward ring greatness. It saw him fcinting with purpose instead of merely sticking his left out and bringing it back in a stiff mechanical manner.
 It saw him creating openings, fol- lowing them up and bringing over clean. hard punches to the uncover ed spots.
 Even with his great speed and bounding-baIl tactics Greb had trouble reaching Tunncy with clean hits This was surprising and an moving to Greb because he hadn't had this trouble in their two pre- vious fights.
 The answer was that Tunncy had not only developed the science of catching and blocking blows but he had made minute study of Greb, and that was no easy thing to do for Greb was, and still is, a most perpleXing problem in the ring.
 But Tunney had. studied Greb, just as he had studied Weinert, in months gone by he had decided what he thought would be an effcc- tive defense and an effective of fense. His decisions proved accur- rate.
 Greb was beaten from the start and Tunney was on his way to big game for the first time since that December night when he folded Ma Tunney in his arms and announced his determination to become a pro- fcssional fighter.
