TILDEN TAKES
VICTORY FROM
FRENCH PLAYER
Hy United Press Lenscd Wire


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 24.-Bill
Tilden, who was forced to bow be-
fore the French Davis cup players
last summer after bitter struggle,
has proved his game is not that of
a has been.
Masterfully he stroked his way
to a victory over Jean Borotra of
the same French Davis cup team as
the American players of the Penn
A. c. made a clean sweep of the
matches with the touring French
players.
Tilden defeated Borotra 7-5, o..
1t was a spectacular victory for
the American team composed of
Tilden, r. Norris Williams and
Manuel Alonzo.
The French team-Jacques Brug-
non, Borotra and the young Christ
ian Boussous-had not lost team
match on their tour which had tax
en- them to South America and Cuba.
In the first match Alonzo, the
Spanish star who now plays as an
American, won from Brugnon 1910,
80, '6-l. 1t was fiery pace the
two set but AlonZo had a stroke
mastery that the French player
could not solve.
Then Tilden scored his eompara-
lively easy victory over Borotra.
Tildcn's placements and his driv-
ing game kept Borotha puzzled
throughout.
The final match was a doubles
affair between Tilden and Williams
against Borotra and Boussous. The
Americans won handily at TO, CT.

The game was to have been play

Bakersfield s impressive record
il which they scored $40 points. In
their opponents 19S probably is the
best compiled this season, consider
ing the class of opposition.
True, Santa Maria who lost to
Fullerton 20-I3 last week, held Bah-
crsficld to the low score of 60 III

ever, later in the season the drillers
swamped the team they are meet

1t will be a battle between two of
the outstanding backs Of the year
Uhalt of Bakersfield and "Sparky'
Adams of Fullerton.
Each is the field general and
main ground gamer Of his team.
Fullerton last half comeback a
sainst Santa Maria was mainly due
to Adams superb fight and accur-
ate passing. With Hershberger or
McElhenny receiving, the drillcrs
are up against powerful weapon
alternated by Adams flashy end
Iuns and off-tackle thrusts.
Bakersfield S husky squad, which
averages $50 pounds, is primed to
break up any game Fullerton may

'TERRIS TAKES
STEP NEARER
CHAMPIONSHIP
New York Flash Has No
Trouble Beating Phil
M'Graw Decisively.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Sid ferris
made his threat towards the light
weight crown now held by Sammy
Mandell much more pronounced
through his brilliant and spectacu-
lar decision over Phil McGraw, the
Detroit Greek, last night.
Terris danced in and around Nc
Graw until he had the Greek dizzy
watching his shadowy figure. A lot
of Terris' tactics lean trifle TO
the spectacular.
One of Terris' tricks was to let
his opponent chase him around and
around the ring and then like q
flash stop and lash out left and
dynamite.
MeGraw fell prey to the strategy
on more than one occasion. Terris
could duck, dodge, shift and weave
With uncanny precision.
Abe Katz, ferris manager, has
a standing offer of 100000 for Sam
my Mandell, lightweight champion
to meet Terris, but Sammy won t
play with Sid. Terris' victory gave
him bout with Jimmy McLarnin
who knocked out Louis "Kid' Kap-
Ian and beat Billy Wallace in the
garden on February 6. If Terris
beats McLarnin popular acclaim
may force Mandell to meet Sid or
give up the title.
McGraw was willing but weak
against Terris this time. Sid had
the better six rounds, McGraw won
three and one was even.

realize that when he drove them
back into the herd a wounded cow
hoy guard was to see him and idcn-

save him, for now both the towns

him-the townspeopIe because they
think he stole the cattle; the ru3tl-

How Tex clears himself of the
charges and proves his innocence,
