The high school pig-skip chasers

AMERICAN AND
FRENCH TEAMS
NOT YET NAMED
fRz Dispatch a. P. wlrel

NEW YORK, Sept 6-With the start
of the challenge round for the Davis
cup historic tennis trophy, only three
days off, America and finance are both
uncertain over the lineups that will
battle for supremacy on the counrts of
the Germantown Cricket club at Phila-
delphia next Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday.
The debate, so far as the United
States is concerned, involves the selec-
tion of either Vincent Richards or
William M. Johnston as singles run
ming mate for the national champion,
William T. Tilden. France, on the
tion of doubles as well as singles per-
formers as a result of the somewhat
erratic performances of her ''big four"
on the eve of their main 1926 objective.
Richards, many close observers say,
choice for the singles as well as the
doubles, with Richard N. Williams, the
team captain, as partner.
The disappointing showing of French
stars in the interzone finals with ia
pan as we'll as in the national doubles
tournament has shaken the confidence
previously held for the chances of the
challengers. Rene LaCoste and Henri
Cochet both were beaten in the singles
by Harada of Japan, while the doubles
combinations of Cochet and Jacques
Brugnon, the wimbledon champions,
and LaCoste and Jean Borotra, met de-
feat at the hands of American teams.
LaCoste seems certain of one of the
singles assignments. with Cochet or
Borotra slated for the other, Borotra,
the bounding Basque" has failed to
strike anything like the spectacular
form he showed here last summer and
again in the winter. Cochet has been
alternately brilliant and erratic, but he
appears to be in better physical condi-
tion than Borotra and may get the as
signment as Lacoste's running mate on
that account He and Brugnon also are
favored for the double match.

net her between $4,000 and $5O,OOO
According to the Brooklyn Eagle, her
contract with Pyle calls for a guaran-

Admitting that she had been "agon-

Miss Browne, whi is the first American

TUNNEY BOxEs. RAIN

STROUDSBURG, Pa, Sept. 6.--Gene
Tunney braved a dazzling rain to box
six rounds this afternoon, making
showing against Billy Vidabeck, Harold
Mays and Bud German, impressive
enough to attract praise from Jack
Renault, the Canadian heavyweight.
Renault, who was one Of Jack Demp-
sey's sparring partners for his go with
Georges Carpenter was the first one
of the big fellows of the boxing craft
to pay visit to Tunney's camp.
''Tunney is bigger and better in every
way tha nwhen saw him in his fight
with Greb," said RVhault. He has
grown tremendously and is a much
better boxer than he was then. 1 can't
see where he can be denied an excel
lent chance to win the championship.
He is without doubt the best man
Dempsey has gone against since he has
been champion"
