The ritual is secret. chiefly that

Stoner's Return To
Cats May Draw Big
Crowd For Opener

FORT WORTH, July 24.-(P)-
The day that Lii Stoner pitches his
first game here since 1923 probably
will draw the seasons record crowd
to La Grave field. Fans have never
forgotten the little star, whose
binding fast ball gave the PantherS
81 victories in 1923 and won two
games in the Dixie series.
Stoner will be the only man on
the club who had a real part in
the Cats chain Of championship
although Jimmy Walkup got in or
the last one in 1925.
There is every reason to believe
that Stoner, only %, still can burn
up the Texas league. He stayed in
the majors a long time and won SO
per cent of his games. which is
more than any former big Lacquer
in the loop can claim, with the pos
sible exception Of Wilbur Cooper
Of the Sports.

In contrast to the secrecy which

TILDEN HELD
STRONG Man
Unless Big Bill Captures
Singles Matches, Hope
For u. S. Is Dim

PARIS, July 24.-P-Upon Big
Bill Tilden's shoulders appears to
rest most Of the burden in the
United States second attempt to
lift the Davis cup from France.
A glance over the probable line
ups in the challenge round which
opens in Roland Garros stadium on
Friday indicates that unless Til
den can win both his singles match
es the United States hopes Of re-
trieving the cup lost to the French
in 1927 will not be realized.
The surprising move that put
George Lott on the team for the
challenge round in place of Frank
Hunter has weakened the Ameri-
cans position. in the opinion Of
some experts. Undoubtedly the
French will play Henri Cochet and
Jean Borotra in the singles. and
Hunter has been a consistent jinX
to Borotra.
With Hunter on the team there
would have been a strong posi-
bility that he would turn in one
singles victory. Thus if Tilden
should do no better than break
even the issue would have been de-
cided, in reality in the doubles
where John Van Ryn and Wilmer
Allison, Wimbledon champions, ap-
pear to have a better than even
chance of beating the best French
pajr-Cochet and Borotra.
With Lott on the team the ex-
pert done" has it that Tilden must
win both his singles matches or
else France will retain the cup.
Lott, on a good day, can beat virtu-
ally any PLAYER in the world, but
he Is an erratic performer and most
observers expect both Cochet and
Borotra to beat him. If that proves
to be the cast American could re-
gain the CUP only if Tilden beat
Cochet and BorOtra in singles and
Van Ryn and Allison won in dou-
bles.
Allison and Van Rvn have i'm
pressed the critics with their form
in practice sessions.

Bell leader still has a perfect mark
with 20 wins out of 20 played. Bell
defeated Mickle, Hughston and

games to play before his schedule is
spent.
He is by far the favorite to cap
ture the straight tournament. Bell
has defeated n player Of the
first classification, and has only one
more. Rowe, to play.
Reid has the next best mark, hav-
ing lost only one game out of Is

capture the handicap tournament
at an easy gallop. Reid is the only
handicap man to horn in on the
first classification ~triurncerate at

first two have perfect marks. Reid
is in the third place some so points

Butler did well Tuesday, pulling
up from 14th to 10th place. He Won
four games while playing five.
Coming interest centers on the

to tie him. Rowe's perfect mark is
