.TUNNEY PROCEEDING
 WITH HIS TRAINING
Does His Usual Roadwork This Morning and Then Goes Into
 Woods With Book

Specualtor, N. Y, Aug. 19. Pl- Transfer of the championship battle between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney from New York to Philadel- phia caused no immediate change in the routine of the Challengers camp. Tunney did his road work today and then as usual hied him. self to the woods with a book under his arm.
 'I will gladly go anywhere in the United States to get my chance at the heavyweight championship" Tunney said. Naturally I prefer to fight in New York, for that is home. but Philadelphia is perfectly all right. It's relief to know that the fight is at las assured. The on again, off again, on again, Fin negan' idea was beginning to grow confusing"
 Tunney's plans for the moment are uncertain. He will have to fore sake the shores of the well-named Lake Pleasant for some spot in the vicinity of Philadelphia, but he in dicated today that he will not catch the first stage coach out-there is no train to disturb the calm of Spec ulator.

 Walter Hagen, seeking to retain his professional links title, has in- dicated his readiness for the con- flict by an amazing string of vic- tories which rival the achievements of Jones. Outstanding among them have been decisive match triumphs over Jones and Abe Mitchell, and the winning of the eastern open championship with q remarkable tctal of PTS for 72 holes.
 Tildens attempt to extend his reign at the net to seven successive years will be contested stubbornIy bythree stars from France in ad- dition to a strong band of American contenders. The racquets of Rene Lacoste, Jean Borotha and Henn Cochet. here in quest of the Davis cup as well as the national sceptre of Tilden, throw q shadow over the path of the tall Philadelphian, which at this time seems more mentcing than the thrusts of Vim cent Richards William NJ. John ston and other stars of the Ameri- can court.
 An army of foes has risen to har- rass the heavyweight champion, Jack Dempsey not only faces dan gerous challenger in Gene Tunney but also is the target of litigation.

FIVE SPORT KINGS
 10 DEFEND TITLES
Babe Ruth Only One Seemingly
 Sure Of Holding Crown
s saoclated pIeSs.

By the Associated Press.
 New York, Aug. 19.-Five mon archs of sport today confront the closing challenges of the outdoor season with a powerful battery Of guns which has blasted away all opposition on four battletields ln years gone by.
 At least one of the quintet ap- pears sufficiently fortified to re- move his crown from the range ot rivals. With S9 home runs to his credit, Babe Ruth's title as the slugging king of the diamond seems secure. But Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, Bill Tilden and Jack Demp- sey still have to face the crucial test of their right to rule for an other year.
 Five fistic kings have passed from their thrones-Mickey Walker, welterweight; Harry Greb, who will seek to regain his middleweight crown. from Tiger Flowers tonight; Paul Berlenbach. light heavyweight; Rocky Kansas. lightweight, and Louis (Kid) Kaplan, who voluntar- fly relinquished his featherweight sceptre.
 Willie MacFarlane, national open champion, Jim Barnes, British open winner in 1925, and Gene Sarazen, former Metropolitan King, have been dethroned on the links. Rogers Hornsby, six-time National league batting leader, has fallen back under the push. So have Stanley Coveleskie and Dazzy Vance, re- spective pitching aces of the Ameri- can and National circuits.
 Queens of the court on two con- tinents have laid aside their coro- nets. A new American women's champion will be crowned in the tournament now in progress on the west side courts at Forest Hills, N. r.. for Helen Wills has been compelled by ill health to default. Suzanne Lenglen, who conquered Helen abroad, has exchanged her title as European champion for a contract which is soon to bring her to this country as a professional.

MEN ID VIE FOR
 HONORS IN TENNIS
Ranking Male LuminarieS Con- pete for Team Championships

Chicago, Aug. 19 Pl-The dash ing feminine racqueters who re- gently have monopolized the ten- his spotlight with their energetic rivalries at Forest Hills, will share tournament glory for the remainder of the week with a score of the country's ranking male luminaries, competing here for the national in ter-sectional team championship.
 Six United States teams repre- senting as many sections of the country and pair of dazzling F7ilipinos are competitors in the four-day elimination tournament on the turf courts of the Chicago Town and Tennis club.
 Aided and abetted by the versa tile Johnny Hennessey of Indian apolis, last years western associa- ton entry; George Lott, jr., and Lucian Williams, Chicagoans. will defend their title to the Simpson trophy against a field of uniformly able performers.
 Vincent Richards. the young man from Yonkers, who has thrice this year hewn down his tennis god father, Big Bill Tilden, goes into the play as the national third ros- tar, but he will not have another shot at his old master, for Tilden remains in the east in preparation for the national championships.
 With Francis T. Hunter as Rich ards mate the New York team is the outstanding favorite to topple the titleholders, if the trick is to be accomplished.
 The New Workers were first up in the drawing, matched for the opening play today with the middle Atlantic team, pair of Baltimore gentlemen who have tagged honors to the names of Ed Jacobs and c. Smith throughout the season.
 The Filipino Davis cup team, Guillermo Arago and Rafael Con- gales, were matched with w. W. Harvard, and Arnold Jones, Yale, the standard bearers of New England.

 The challenger was manifestly re- lieved that the uncertain status of the important bout has been settled by finding spot on which to land. However, he was not able to con- ceal his chagrin at the turn of the affair in the license committee. He said that he thought he deserved better treatment at he hands of his hom folk. He showed a mixture of enthusiasm and regret. He sees. he declared, a record breaking success in prospect in Philadelphia. His New York friends, he declared, will gladly ride two hours to see him bid for the championship.
