Harvey admitted today, "and have
about decided to see what I can do
with him." (There are, of course, a
number of things Harvey might do
with Beckett, but one fears his in
finite kindness would probably re-
strain him, no matter how great the
provocation.
Harvey has a notion there is
vibrant curiosity on the part OF
the native customers to see what
Beckett looks like in action, even
if that action is restricted to a
brief flash of time and consists of
nothing more than a downward
falling movement followed by
heavy snoring on the canvas.
Il
OBVIOUSLY, Harvey thinks he
~ can capitalize the notoriety
that has come to Beckett as re-
suit of the consumate skill he had
demonstrated in assuming ironed
out and stifened postures on the
ring floors Of the old country. On
the theory that the best of the
worst of them is an attraction, Har-
vey is ready to launch what is
probably the most extraordinary
project he ever attempted.
Personally your correspondent sees
no reason why Beckett shouldn't be
brought over here and tossed in
with the other beefy buffoonS. And
it seems to me that Harvey is just
the man to bring him over.
If anybody can keep Beckett
awake long enough to hear the
opening gong, Harvey is the one. He
ourbanked Thomas Heeney into a
championship fight and if Thomas,
on ability, had any business fighting
for the heavyweight championship
of the world, Reign Count is a
Swiss nobleman.
Beckett should at least appeal
to Mr.. HumbertO Fugazy as an
opponent for Roberto ROberti of
the FIatbush Roberts. 1 say this
because Mr.. Fugazy had ROberti
in there last night fighting with
King Solomon, who was through
before Weber and Fields got their
first laugh.

The fight staged by Williams and
Dillon in the last show at the fort

may judge from the big hand which
greeted the announcement Tuesday
night of their rematch for next

During their first meeting both

canvass and the fray terminated
when Williams socked one down the
foul line that lost him the contest.

u. S. Tennis
Squad Meets
French Stars
International Series Begins
at Germantown Courts;
HenneSSey on Team.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY


GERMANTOWN CRICKET CLUB,
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 6. - The
American tennis team which so sue
cessfully turned back a British in
vasion last week was to meet its
greatest task beginning today in the
international team matches against
France.
France has sent the strongest
team possible with the exception Of
Rene La Coste, who has retired, at
least temporarily, from international
play.
A victory by the American team
while hollow in comparison
would go a great way toward cas-
ing the defeat in the Davis Cup
matches in Paris several weeks ago.
John Hennessey, George Lott.
Junior Coen, John Van Ryn, John
Doeg will represent the United
States.
The first days matches were to
find Jacques Brugnon meeting John
Van Ryn in a singles match, Henri
Cochet playing George Lott in
singles and Pierre Landry and
Christian Boussus meeting the
American doubles team of Junior
Coen and John Doeg.
One of the chief points of inter-
est today was to be an exhibition
match between Helen Wills and
John Hennessey. Several weeks
ago Miss Wills defeated Fritz Mer-
cur. There was some talk that
Mercur had slowed up against the
women'S champion. Miss Wills
challenged again, and Tuesday at
Forest Hills Mercur won the first
two sets with comparative ease.
In Hennessey she will meet a
player of higher ranking and ability
than Mercur.
