about a doctor who wanted an office
boy, one with nerve who might stay
right on and some time get to be a

test their nerve and at the same time
have a little fun, he in turn handed
each a plate of hot soup and sent him
into closet to give it to a man there.
The imam" in the closet was skel-
eton.
The first two boys beat it out in a
hurry when they saw the skeleton.
The third boy opened the closet door,
and said to the skeleton, Here's your
soup" The doctor, who also was
something of a ventriloquist, made
the skeleton say, "It's hot. It's hot y

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug. 13. =
Sweeping to victory IN all three
matches today eastern tennis stars
gained a commanding lead over their
western rivals in the annual battle for
intersectional supremacy on the court
of the West Side Tennis club The
east registered decisive victories in
two singles encounters when Vincent
Richards conquered. Edward G. Chand-
Ter, 63, 6-3, and Alfred II. Chaplin,
Jr., brushed aside Lionel ogden, 6-2,

Chaplin closed the days program with
a triumph over ogden and Cranston
Holman, 63, 10, ga.
The series will be concluded tomor-
row with four more contests, featured
by singles match between Tilden
and William M. Johnston, which will
bring the two Ellis together for the
first time this season.
The west pinned it's faith today on

stars, and while they put up gallant
fight, they We're no match for their
older and more experienced rivals.

The doubles developed the most

opponents in the final set Chaplin
bore the brunt of the eastern defense,
and though erratic at times, he morS

HELEN Wills IS
/. NOT TO PLAY in
NATIONAL MEET
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

RYE, N Y, August 13.-Helen Wills,
women tennis champion indicated to-
night she might withdraw from the
national title play next week as re-
suit of her defeat today in the semi
finals of the New York state tourna-
ment, by Mrs. Molla B. Mallory, 6-7
GA, 6-2. 5ids
The three-timea title-holder, admit
ting she was very tired after the first
set, wired her father, DR.. c. A. Wills,
of Berkeley, Calf, asking whether she
should continue her play. Her partici-
patton in the case next weke is expect
ed to hinge on his reply.
With the tide of battle running
against her in the final set, Miss Wills
played with remarkable composure,
apparently content to accept defeat.
Mrs. Mallory, scenting her first victory
over Miss Wills since the latter de-
throned her in 1928, Unbiased furious
assault of drives and raced over her
court for sensational recoveries.
The victor was exhausted at the fin
ish and dropped into chair on the
side lines, almost overcome by the in
tense heat Miss Wills, on the other
a half struggle, apparently none the
worse for the duel.
81 felt fine in the first set, but after
that things didn't go so WELL" Miss
Wills said. She has been trying to re-
gain form after two months absence
from the court, following an operation
for appendicitis in Europe. The cham
pion displayed a far superior brand of
tennis today to that she exhibited last
week at Seabright, N. j., where she fell
in straight sets before the chop strokes
of Miss Elizabeth Ryan. In the first
tw osets, during which he played Mrs.
on even turns, she drove with
great precision and was steady at the
net under her rivals whitening base
line fire. The match was played un
der scorching sun.

Judge from the sad appearance pre-
sented by the is or 20 weary Fats
who dragged themselves into town
from practice Friday night.
The fact that the Fats were tired
does not mean that they can't last
through regular game. Far from It,
When questioned as to why his hefty
charges seemed SO fatiguoA Glenn ex-
planned that he had divide dhis ~
heavyweights into two teams and hao
set them to work, playing inning after

that they did line throughout the
first 18 or 20 innings, but that they
began to weaken in the third game.
But little could be learned of thu
progress being made by the Leans, a6
Joe Tardy bundled his stable of big
leaguers off to some remote diamond
for secret practice. It is understood
that Joe plans to have his team use
strategy as we'll as prowess. No ink.
ling could be gotten as 20 what the
Leans will try to pull, but several
Lean players limited darlxly that Joe
was going to pull some 1asc ones. :.
Both teams have been working hard
to make the benefit game a success,
both from the financial standpoint and
as an entertainment for the fans
With more than 40 Fats and Leans
leaving their own work and devotinss
their time to practice, it is hoped that
the fans will turn out en- masse.
Just because a Fat and Lean team
are going to play is no reason ror thu
assumption that the game will be a
farce. To be true, the game will not
be without its comedy incidents, but
there are many real ball players
among the business and professional
men of Douglas who have lent their
services to the cause and the gam~
Sunday will be we'll worth seeing.
The following are the lineups def
initely decided upon, ct will be noted
that pent yof reserves for each posi-
tion are provided):
For the Fats: Catcners, Bill Evans
and Jack Gibbons; first base, A. j..

$S9,O50 check issued to Col. E. r.

the American derby will be made nm
within a few days, despite failure of
large guarantor to meet his share
OF the purse, Robert M. Sweitzer pres
ldent of the club, announced today.
Bradley's check was sent back marked
mot sufficient funds,p and Sweitzer
conceded today that about 100000 is
still owing to purse winners in the
closing day of the clubs July meeting
at the new Washington race course.
Chicago realtor and sportsman
who guaranteed $4,000 of the purse
of 100000 offered by the club in the
revival of the American derby. has
been on vacation and has not put
his part of the purse, Sweitzer ex-
planned. One other guarantor of six
who pledged the amount-the largest
ever paid for an American turf event
has not paid his pldege, the official
said.
Every promise will be kept, and
Colonel Bradley's $89,05O will be paid,
guaran1ors or mo guarantors,' said
Sweitzer, pointing out that the meet
ing was handicapped by efforts to halt
speculation and by late completion of
the course. More than 100000 was
paid in purses, he recalled.

will be a clean sheet. Next summers

and indicated they were through
with the local case. Attorneys for
the Chicago Coliseum club, however,
said they would wait until tomor-

make a belated appearance. An
early afternoon effort by Dempsey's
attorneys to have the other side
agree on another superior court
judge failed when the clubs lawyers
were unable to satisfy themselves
as to the legality of such move
Walter Arnold, South Bend, Iad., at

by local court action to block the
proposed bout between Dempsey and
Gene Tunney in New York, Septem-

be done if a petition for perman-

here September 6, were granted.
The case then would be passed on 10
the New York state courts, which
would be bound under the constitu-
ton to see that the injunction was
observed, Arnold declared.
A. F. .Driscoll, of New York City.
an attorney for Dempsey, prepared
the statement which denied that
Dempsey ever was under contract to
the Chicago Coliseum club. He it
ed an identical action filed against
the champion in federal court in
Colorado, declaring that if the other
side had any faith in their asser-
tions they would be satisfied %

The leading boxing promoters Of
the country are of the opinion that
a fight between Dempsey and wills
