Tilden Will Return To
Stage and Will Be Out
Of Tennis During Fall
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

NEW YORK, July 2S..-Wililam T..
Tilden's return to the stage the mid
die of August will keep him out of
many of the seasons remaining tour
naments and may even jeopardize his
participation in the Davis cup and ma
tional singles tournaments, he told the
Associated Press today The cham
pion is optimistic that his plans will
work out SO that he can take part in
both classics, but his dramatic work,
he explained, now comes first and will
force him to forego all other competi-
tion after this week.
"The national singles are at Forest
Hills, so that if we are fortunate
enough still to be on Broadway it will
be comparatively easy for me to de-
fend my championship there. II we
are obliged to go on the road earlier

Assuming that he will take part in

at least, will be put to a severe test.
Last winter, it is recalled, he COM
bined stage work with play in the ma
tional indoor championship and inter-
national matches against France-with
somewhat disastrous results on the

RICHARD NOW PLANS.
FIGHT IN N. Y. WITH.
GATE OF $l,5OO,OOO.
fBy Dispatch A. P. wire1

NEW YORK, July 2S. - Expressing
confidence that the licensing angle
will offeA no serious obstacles, Tex
Rickard today predicted that the
heavyweight championship battle be-
tween Jack Dempsey and Gene Tun-
ney, slated for the night of Septem-
ber 16 at the Yankee Stadium, will at
tract a crowd of $4,000 and a gate"
of approximately $1,5OO,OOO. These
figures were based on a price scale
ranging probably from $40 to $50 down
to 50 and So, depending upon sanction
of the commission.
Returning from Chicago this morn
ng, Rickard plunged at once into
mass of detailed arrangements
Although he admitted not having
discussed the matter with Col. J. j.
Phelan, chairman of the license COM
mittee of the boxing board, Rickard
asserted he did not think Phelan
would throw a monkey wrench into
the machinery now
II think we can quit talking politics
now and talk little more about the
fighters" the promoter said, adding
that he had instructed both Dempsey
and Tunney to be in their training
camps in this state within week or
so. Dempsey is expected to come east
to establish his camp by August 6 at
Saratoga Springs, where he condi-'
toned himself three years ago for his
last title fight with Luis Firpo. Tun-
ney has picked spot at Lake Pleas
ant in the Adirondacks for his train
ing and will go there early next week.
He is now at Saratoga Springs.
Keen revival of interest here in the
fight which had waned with the pos
sibility of it's transfer to Chicago,
was manifested today in many quar-
ters. At Richards offices in Madison
Square Garden there was a flood of
ticket applications. The promoter
said he had already received requests
for sufficient tickets to sell out most
of the immediate ringside section. In
Wall street, betting commissioners re-
ported considerable activity, odds of
2 to 1 on Dempsey based upon the
placing of one wager of $4,000 to
$4,000
Rickard was emphatic today in as
serting he could have staged the bat
tie in Chicago had the commission not
reversed it's attitude here.
There were many obstacles in Chi
cago to be overcome" he said, "but
the fans there wanted the fight and
my hackers were willing to go the
limit Park facilities were not as ad-
vantageous as 1 would have wished,
but 1 am convinced that if held there
the fight would have drawn record
gate of $2,000,0O0 from probably more
than 100000 people,"

Oxford, Nov 24 P-While for mer American oarsmen now at Ox- ford are having their difficulties in mastering the intricacies of the English stroke, old football stars from the United States are having still harder time in learning the technique of rugby. the English equivalent of American football,
 Four American football stars of first rank are in the new group of Rhodes scholars at Oxford. They arc George R. Pfann, former star Cornell quarterback; N. J. Parker captain of Dartmouth's champion ship team. and Caleb F. Gates and Morris Legendre, both members of last years Princeton team.
 All four of these men are now playing "rugger" for their respec- tive college teams. Gates at Bal liol college, Parker at Magdalen, and Pfann and Legendre at Brasenose college. All of them confess to some bewiderment in getting the hang of the English game.
 One of the rules of rugby is that there shall be no forward passing, the English content themselves with short lateral passes, as in American basketball. On mastering the rule, Pfann and Legendre attempted to add few American improvements to the game.
 As soon as the ball was put into motion in one of the early plays, Legendre ran far off right end, well out of the range of the customary short English pass. Pfann, receiving the ball, proceeded to shoot it to Legendre by one of the long over hand passes for which he was fam ous at Cornell. While the astonish- ed Englshmen looked on In won der, Legendre snatched the ball out of the air and ran for an un- opposed touchdown. Although the play was perfectly legal, 1t was de- cded by the Brasenose captain that such long distance passing would revolutionize the game. Therefore tn, American players were request ed to use the traditional short un- derhand pass in the future.

New Britain fans will be interest ed in watching Captain Eddie Barni- kow sail into the Hartford line. We don't think that the New Britain captain will need any urging at all to play his head off.
