CHI DOUBTFUL
FOR BOUT

CHICAGO, June 20.-Members Of
the who's Who" in Illinois boxing
circles have no official information
regarding Tex Richards proposed
plan to stage a heavyweight cham.
ionship match in Chicago. a canvas
of promoters and members of the
boxing commission revealed today.
The men who rule the game here
stated their first and only informa.
ton concerning a world title bout
here was contained in press dis
patches from New York. The re-
ports, however, have caused great
excitement among local fight fans.
Promoter James Mullen, often re.
ferred to as the TEX Rickard Of
the Middle West" refused to com.
ment on the poaching threat Of his
eastern rival.
1t was pointed out that If Richard
does stage the bout in Chicago, he
must do 1t under another name, be-
cause of commission ruling which
states no promoter can be licensed
until he has been q resident Of the
State for at least two years.

T|LDEN Up
ON FOE

WIMBLEDON, England, June 20.
Bill Tilden inaugurated the VIM
bledon tennis championship today
with an easy victory over G. A..
Pratt, of England.
Playing before a huge and fashion
able crowd in the center court,
Tilden ran out a victory at 60,
81, 60, in a most casual manner!
Pratt had just barely managed to
qualify for the tournament. Tilden,
playing in a light.hearted manner,
occasionally drove into the net to
make the score more interesting.
During the last set Tilden speeded
up and, amidst applause from the
gallery, displayed unusually fine
tennis, scoring service ace after
service ace.
81 am feeling fine and fit, and
am striving and hoping to win"
Tilden told the International News
Service after the match.
Asked about the condition Of his
knee, Tilden replied, That's a mat
ter don't talk about. You saw me
play"
Froitzheim won the fourth set
and match, 6-3, after a hard fight
on the base lines.
Harada, the Japanese Davis cup
player, was eliminated in the first
round by M. Landry, of France,
As, 6-4, I'll, Is, 60.
In the first round, Henri Cochet
defeated F. S. Burnett, "a, 6-S,
"a.
For the first time since the World
War German player appeared at
Wimbledon today. o. Froitzhein,
the pre-war international player,
met I. g. Collins, the Scottish cham
pion. The German won the first
two sets by superb volleying and
relentless placements, rs, 6-3.
Collins rallied and won the third
set, 6-3.
During the morning the wea-
ther was sunshiny, but at noon
it began to cloud up with heavy
showers threatening to delay the
play.
Interest in the tournament this
year Is keener than it has been for
many years.
With more than $50 men and
women entrants, attention centers on
the women's singles, although the
prospects of Tilden.Lacoste match
excite good deal of interest.
The great question is "whO
will secure Suzanne Lenglen's
crOWn?"
The United States, England
France, Spain, Germany and South
Africa have all sent women tennis
players who have the ability Of win
ming this greatest of international
tournaments.
Present prospects are that the
finals in the ladies singles will rest
between Miss Helen Wills, Mile
D'Alvarez, of Spain. and Mrs. Kitty
McKane Godfree, although Frauleir
Aussem, of Germany, Miss Elizabeth
Ryan and Mrs. Molla Mallory car

TITLE Go

NEW YORK, June 20.-World
Heavyweight Chmapion Gene Tun
ney will defend his title against the
winner of the Jack Dempsey-Jack
Sharkey battle on or about Septem
Der 10, possibly at Chicago, 1t wax
learned here today.
The Dempsey-Sharkey bout il
scheduled for the Yankee Stadium in
this city on July 81. Promoter Tex
Richard, who 10 planning the heavy
weight struggle, il understood ia
favor Chicago as the site Of the title
contest. September 10 falls upon d
Saturday. If the contest IL staged
on that date it probably win take
place in the afternoon.
Richard has not definitely de.
cided on Chicago. He has offers
from Baltimore and Philadelphia
under consideration. The only
definite decision the promoter
has made is the elimination Of
this city as battle-ground.
Richard has been compelled Il
forego plans for a local bout because
Of the fact that the Yankee Stadium
will not be available in September
and he has no desire to delay the
bout until October and gamble with
the weather. Furthermore, Rickart
finds he cannot charge admission
prices here sufficiently high enough
to float such q gigantic undertaking
1t is learned from reliable author
ity that he intends to charge a tor
price of $40 for the Tunney bout
and will make all tickets at lever
prices" the promoter shouldering thu
Government tax. as he did with thu
Dempsey Carpenter fight in jersey
City.
Rickard partly smOOthed the
way for the fiStic climax he
plans this season.
Jess Mcmahon Richards match
maker, held a lengthy conference
with Johnny Buckley, manager O.
Jack Sharkey, and afterward Buck
ley authorized the announcement h,
had accepted terms for the Bostol
Lithuanian to fight Dempsey on july
81 in the Yankee Stadium. The ses
sion dispelled the report of diff
culties in getting Sharkey to agree Il
fight Dempsey.
