Both Covered With
Scars After One of
Bloodiest Bouts

NEW YORK. July le.-F-Csn-
nonbsll Eddie Martin. one-time king
Of the bantamweights today had
nothing but deep and lasting scars
along with the knowledge that Tod
Morgan too was covered with Jumps
TO show for his second assault on the
junior lightweight title.
The slim, frail-appearing kid from
Seattle. who looked as though he
might break in half under Martins
vicious body humping, came through
a storm Of terrific punishment last
night to save the crown in a fif-
teenth round engagement that drew
10000 spectators TO Ebbets Field and
$4,000.
Although Morgan. according TO The
Associated Press score sheet, o
eight of the fifteen rounds while
Martin gained but four with three
even, the battle was close all the way
with shades alone deciding many of
the decisions. Only in the thirteenth
round was there danger Of a knockout
and then IL was Morgan. the cham
pion. who reeled around the ring, bat
tered from pillar 10 post by the chal-
lenger's lunging. driving attack. The
fight was CORY enough to rival Gene
Tunney's famous bleeding session
with Harry Greb several years ago.
In the first round. a butt opened a
cash over Morgan's left eye, while
Tod slashed Martins right cheek
open in the third. Morgan added a
dripping nose 10 the spectacle in the
sixth and in the tenth the challeng-
er's right y brow was cut TO the
bone. Both fighters were stained
crimson to the waist.

~ "a 1919 ~
DALLAS, lP)-The 10000 meters
race in the 1928 olympics is over 50
far as the winner is concerned unless
some ono brides Jose Torres with =
banana and induces him to quit.
This Is the contention OF members
Of the contingent Of Tarahumara In
dians Of Mexico who passed through
Dallas en- route e Amsterdam.
Torres, member Of a half-wild band
Of TarGhumaras, has an Unsuitable
craving for bananas. In winning the
s9-mile run from San Antonio 10 Aus
tin last year., he almost drove his
trainer to distraction.
The Indian runner whose tribe
rates as having the worlds supreme
m-arathoners simply annot reject
gifts Of the tropical fruit. As q re-
suit playful spectators tOrmented
him throughout the race.
He ate most of the p-offercd fruit
and still won the race. But the
competition will be keener at Am
sterdam, 50 members Of the squad
Of IL have been cautioned not 70
let Jose pass a fruit stand after he
gets to Amsterdam.
Torres compatriots may be ath-
letes fully as capable as he. but there
can be none so colorful. The other
members Of the Mexican team have
lived in civilization all their lives and
have had the full benefits of ath-
letic training while Jose learned "a
run long distances in order TO eat
and live.
The appearance Of Jose on the
track at Amsterdam will be an apt
demonstration OF what athletics have
done to c~ivilize the world. Here is
a bobbed haired, besGndaled little
brown man who a few years z was
almost as wild Is the buck deer that
roam the TarshUmara mountains
about his home.
Members Of the T|arahumata tribe
depend entirely upon the wings Of
their feet 70 provide meat for them
selves. When the supply of venison
runs low the bucks Of the tribe or
ganize deer hunts. A half dozen Of
the sturdy runners pick up a deer
trail and start after IL IN their meth
odical trot never stopping until aft
or they have run the creature into
exhaustion and have felled il with
their knives. Such hunts have been
known TO last two days.
II Is the training received under
these conditions that. his fellow
countrymen believe, will make Jose
unbeatable at Amsterdam. Torres
won the So mile race from San An
tonic with a time Of slightly more
than "a hours but that was scarcely
a fair test OF his ability since he was
held III check all the way in order
that Thomas Zafiro, Of his com
nanions. might finish with him.

that long. s~corching hot day esti-
mated that Torres could have clipped

DAVIS Cup Team

PARIS, July 19.-(P-Charged with violating the
amateur rules of the United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton, big Bill Tilden, lanky Philadelphia veteran of the
courts, was dropped from the American Davis cup team
today.
This. sensational and totally unexpected action was
taken because he had violated the amateur rules in writ
ing about the Wimbledon tennis tournament while play
ing in it.
Tildens removal caused a complete change of the
American team. Francis T. Hunter and John Hennessey
will represent the United States in the singles and George
Lott and Hennessey in the doubles.
Previously it had been planned to play Tilden and Lott
in the singles and Lott and Hennessey in the doubles in

Tie lIlleT zone against italy
opening tomorrow.
Americas Chance Lost
Announcement Of Tilden's dismissal
was made by Joseph Wear, Of Phila-
delphia, chairman Of the American
Davis cup committee. and was CON
CURED in by Samuel H. COLON, presi-
dent of the United States Lawn Ten
mis- association. Wear Immediately
announced his own resignation, eff
fective as soon as the American team
returns home. COLON said he would
bide his time but would have some
thing TO say about the matter when
Davis cup competition is over.
With Tilden's passing from the
team he captained went virtually
Americas last chance Of regaining
this year at least the historic tennis
trophy which passed into the hands
Of Frances "Three Musketeers'-
Henri Cochet, Rene La Coste and
Jean Borotra-at Germantown last
year. In fact. critics saw a possibil-
ity that without Tilden's inspired
play, the United States might not
with Italy.
Deposing of the American veteran
came Just as the draw in the inter-
zone finals was about TO be made.
Statement Read
Amid impressive silence, Wear
read the following statement:
THE amateur rules committee OF
the Davis cup committee of the Uni
ted States Lawn Tennis association
having preferred charges against
William I. Tilden, H., for having vio-
lated the amateur rules by writing
current newspaper articles tor pay or
consideration concerning the Wimble-
don urname in which he was a
competitor. and whereas it would be
improper TO retain as a member OF
the American Davis cup team any
player against whom such charges
are pending. the United States Law
Tennis association has decided TO
withdraw Tilden from Davis cup COM
petition.
Tilden Refutes Charges
Tilden. raising his racquet hand
above his head, said:
II alsc have a statement 10 make.
But before he started reading from
his notes he cried p~assionately:
II refute all charges. We Will win
the Davis cup yet. | hereby apply
for a Job Of training American DAVIS
cup members for the gruelling
matches ahead
Then evidently laboring under deep
emotion he read a statement which
follows in part:
81 DENY the charge Of intent 70 vio-
late either the letter or the spirit OF
the amateur rule Of the United States
Law Tennis association and state I'M
~regervedly that any articles wnlch 4

ment were to the best of my knowl-
edge straight comment articles r III
no way an attempt to contemporane-
ously report a tournament IN which

course. are a matter OF record.
Lott Quits
Tennis sensation followed tennis
sensation when Lott announced ne
would not play in the doubles, either
because Of sympathy owe Tilden's
disbarment or disappointment be-
cause he was not chosen for the
singles.
Both Colon and Wear took the
Young player aside and argued that
he must see the thing through. Lott
