Saturday afternoon and Saturday
night.
Dog lovers who viewed the events
were enthusiastic over the perform
ance of the Whippets, but not
enough fans turned out to encour-
age Whippet club officials to stage
another meet. Threatening weather
Saturday probably was one reason
the promoters lost money.
Thirty-three dogs were on hand
for the races. Saturdays event was

Average time was 1912 for the

The novel entertainment, staged
in picturesque manner, was we'll

Leonard Holds
Win Over Boyer

Billy Leonard of Syracuse, who is
coming to Indianapolis to meet
Meyer Grace of Chicago in the main
event at TT. Harrison Tuesday night,
recently beat Don Boyer of Toledo
in Erie, Pa, and local fans who saw
Boyer here at Tomlinson Hall last
winter will rememberthe T'oledoan
as a mighty good boy.
The Erie newspapers said Leonard
ut-boxed, out-smarted and out
punched Boyer and took every
stanza in decisive fashion.
incidentally, say reports from
Erie, it was easily seen by the fight
followers there why the Syracuse
pug was considered good enough to
be signed by Tex Rickard for bout
in the Garden against Clyde Hull.
The drubbing which Leonard
handed Hull is now past history and
match with Pete Latzo is now
being considered for Leonard by
Richard, it is said.

. HAVERFORD, Pa. June 81
Four score racquet wielders, repre-
senting thirty-fve colleges and uni
versities from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast, we're at Merton
Cricket Club here today, set for the
opening round of the annual inter-
collegiate tennis championships.
A keen battle for the title, won
last year by Edward Chandler of the
University of California, is looked
for, with Cranston Holman, STAN
ford star, whom Chandler defeated
in the 1926 finals, looked upon as
the favorite.
Holman's path is not taken to be
one of roses, however, with entries
like Charlie Watson of Yale, Barr
of Southern Methodist. Van Ryn of
Princeton and John Whitbeck of
Harvard, in the field.
Stow, who paired with Chandler
last year, won the doubles title,
heads the University of California S
team. Lionel Ogden, who with Hol-
man were 1926 doubles finalists, will
make another try for the title for
Stanford.

Tilden won the first set, 6-3. He
had developed mastery over the

was leading, Al, when rain, always
lowering in the offing during the
capricious British summer, inter-
vened and halted play. The match
then had gone half an hour.
Picked as Winner
Tilden showed the flashing form
that, developed during last weeks
play, had caused critics to pick him
as semi hnalist, finalist and probable
winner
Play between Tilden and Brugnon
was resumed at $3.50 p. m. Several
thousand spectators, in open seats
and standing around the center
court, stuck it out until play was re-
sumed.
Resumption of the match was
brief. Rain caused another halt at
$40. BY then Tilden had taken the
second set, 6-1, and Brugnon, pull
ing himself together, was leading in
the third, 80.
