ACTION F0RESEEN
in EVERY BATTLE
ON ARENA CARD

The stage is all set for dishing
out one of the most promising fis-
tic meals that local fandom has en-
Joycd thus far this season at the
arena tonight. Beginning with the
first preliminary Frank Richmond
has gathered together a program
which on paper looks like action
throughout. The bouts will start at
$3.50 o'clock.
Naturally the limelight is being
occupied by the boys that will ap-
pear in the main event. This brings
together Pat Duncan Of San Diego
and Tony Valderama of Fresno. If
the battle these two boys waged at
Brawley a few weeks ago is any
kind of a sample of what they will
dish out to fans tonight, there will
be no slow moments in the main
event:
Duncan, with the advantage of a
victory over Tony at Brawley, and
on the threshold of title battle
with Pal Moore in Fl. Smith, Ark,
next month, will enter the ring de-
termined to knock Tony into the
land of dreams.
But despite all this promise in the
coast boy, the majority of valley
fans are picking Tony as the win
ncr Nalderama has won his way
into the hearts of valley friends
with his ever ready willingness and
the majority will be whooping it
up for Tony when the battle starts.
Tony has vowed that he would wipe
away the sting of the Brawley de-
feat.
There was little to choose be-
tween them in the Brawley fracas,
the scrap being one of the blood
lest ever wagcd. in the valley. Both
boys suffered from cuts about the
face and it was necessary. TO have
surgeons sew them up after the bat
tie. But Duncan did win the deei-
sion.
A lively clash is expected to re.
suit in the final of six rounds
with Julian Arriola of San Diego
meeting Raymond McQuillan of
Denver. Both boys have been step
ping up rapidly in the fistic whlrl
of late and the bout means much to
both. They are both out to win and
the six round should furnish plenty
of opportunity for fireworks.

DELANEY GETS
FOUL DECISION
OVER PA0LIN0
Farrell Asserts Blows in
Question Not Fouls By
Considerable Distance.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE great
"fair or foul" controversy, start
ed after the Dempsey-Sharkey
fight, was duplicated today.
Amid the boos of dissatisfaction
and the cheers of approval from
$4,000 spectators at the Yankee
Stadium last night, Referee Jim
Crowley awarded Jack Delaney the
fight with Paolino Uzcudun in the
seventh round ON foul.
Delaney, who gave up his light
heavyweight title to take a chance
with the heavies surpassed the
Basque during the first six rounds
His heavy blows were countered
with powerful but wild swings.
Although Delaney hit the fighter
from Spain with all his force dur
ing the early rounds, Uzcudun took
it smiling. AT the end, his only
damage was flat and bloody nose.
The opinion of the writer is that
Paolino was guilty of foul only
in the event that the referee in a
moment of excitement thought that
Delaney was wearing his tights as a
beard.
Nearly all of the veterans in the
press pit thought Jimmy Crowley,
the referee, had disqualified Paoli-
no for hitting on the breaks. Paoli-
no had been warned several times
but the referee couldn t speak
Spanish and Uzcudun can't under
stand English.
Crowley, however, said Paolino
had hit Delaney low four times i'll
the final round.
Delaney had no overpowering
reason to accept or want deci-
sion on a foul. He was winning by
a mile when that seventh round
started.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Yestcrday
in the Forest Hills Stadium, | had
my first actual contact with the
most powerful game of lawn tennis
ever played by woman. Helen
Wills produced that game in our
one set practice.
For four months | played against
the cleverest, most finished player
in the world of lawn tennis-Suz-
anne Lenglen.
In my early days of tennis, |
played against one of the most ten
acious and hard hitter, but from
/ only wing-May Sutton Bundy.
Those three women are certainly
the outstanding feminine tennis
players of the world All three have
held the championship of all Eng
land, virtually the championship Of
the world. 1t makes me feel old, in
deed, to think that | have literally
campaigned with all three of them.
Pat, never in all my long career
have been up against such hard
hitting from the racket of any
woman as Helen Wills swept across
the net to me yesterday. She liter
ally blew my court to pieces. Many
Of her shots ! never, LAID my racket
on. She was hitting as hard from
one side as the other. We played
but one sot and il has been proven
in several Of Helen s matches that
she cannot keep up the terrific at
tack throughout match. Many Of
Us. thought Helen slows up her game
because she believes n change of
pace is good tactics but her methods
carried little finessc, for she would
soften her entire game for several
rallies rather than combining speed
and softness within "a rally which
when subtly employed, is fine
weapon.
Takes Rest Periods
We are now all convinced that
when Helen slackcns her game she
is temporarily winded and she takes
rest period. 1t is quite obvious
that only the strongest amazon in
the world could hit with such pow
er throughout Il match, For Helen,
it is a physical impossibility.
But when she hits them she liter
ally bowls one over.
/ never once in my entire tour re
ccivod one ball from Suzanne s
racket which felt as hard. But |
received many, many more cleveriy
placed from Suzanne.
Ia -.
ing the finest tennis of her life and
for the first time believe she
would have chance against SUI
anne.
Helen is not only hitting 80 per
cent harder; she is almost playing
at closer quarters. She has more
imagination and even touch of
humor in her game. note "A decided
broadening.
Wimbledon Good School
asked Helen how she accounted
for her sudden Improvement and
she said, lit has come as a result
of my three years abroad in compel
ing against the best players in the
world and because | have practiccd
u great deal and am entirely re
cupcratcd from my operation.
Helen agreed with me that VIM
lledon is the greatest tennis school
in the world. 1t is what Vienna is
to opera or Paris TO the well dressed
woman. Helen Wills has always
been extremely rcticcnt and self
contained. She concentrated so thor
oughly upon the task at hand snc
scarcely cared to he distracted even
by casual conversation.
Helen Wills and Suzanne Lenglrn
unchallengcd upon the thrones OF
amateur and professional tennis.
How wonderful II would be for the
tennis fans if an open meet could be
arranged.
