Tilden Clinches
Another Crown

PHILADELPHIA, May IS. U.P)-
William T. Tilden of Philadelphia,
considered one of the greatest ten
mis- players of all time, has added
another championship to his long
list of titles.
Tilden won the mythical profess
sional tennis title last night when
he defeated Vincent Richards OF
New York, Ga, ST, Us, 7-6, 6-2. 1t
was Big Bills third consecutive
victory in his series of five matches
against the New York star for the

showed across the two winning runs.
Oana's homer tied the score with
Sacramento in the seventh, and the
Seals eked out a victory in the first
of the ninth with a single tally, the
game ending 7 to 6.
The Angels made a belated bid
for winning honors in the ninth in
ming against the Beavers, scoring
two runs, but their effort fell short.
The Missions trailed the Seattle
Indians in the early stages but
worked hard in the closing innings
and won, 7 to 5.

CARD SCHEDULED
At RING TONIGHT

II advance notices are to be taken
AZ fun value. Young David, the Fill
pino leather thrower. will have to
Go plenty Of throwing in the main
event tonight at the Imperial VAL
ley Athletic club, if he hopes to get
out Of the ring with the decision.
And this writer is rash enough
TO believe that he will do Just that.
Claude Richards. former Pacific
coast amateur champion, who will
be in the opposite corner from Da-
vid, is billed TO knock the local boy
back to Manila or some way station
N the Philippine Islands, but that
is a tough job for anyone.
David may go down, but take the
word of yours truly that if he does,
Mrs. Richards son will know that
he has been in a scrap. We've
never seen Richards and we have
seen David, and therein lies the
difference.
Anyone who can move as fast as
David, heave as many punches,
take EN- and dodge 'em, can make
plenty of trouble for any boy OF
his class.
And this David Richards argu-
ment ought to be the final of
mighty good card. Looking down
the rest of it, the boys who have
signed for the occasion stack up
as being able to give the cash Gus
toners plenty of run for their mo-
ney.
Bobby Ratcliff, who put On q
tough scrap last week with ANDY
Armstrong, viii start in the semi
final, with Battling Paul, old-time
valley favorite, as his opponent.
Ratcliff is good-plenty good, and
Paul will have to keep going all the

be seen. Kept out of California

has been away from California.

states where the rules are not so
strict. The Brawley boy has always
kept himself in good condition and
he is a credit to himself and the
boxing game Hope the folks will
give him hand tonight because he
rates it.
Louis Reyes pulled out on a deci-
sion over Art Monroy last week
largely because Art did too much
loafing in the early part of the
fight. Even at that the decision
was a close one, and if Monroy
starts working early tonight the re-
suit may be different. No matter
who wins, the fans are sure to see
a good scrap, for these boys are
wei matched and like to mix it.
The opener ought to be red hot.
Vincent Solano is short on science
but ne does like to heave 'em wild
and heavy. Against him will be
Madison Glover, a colored boy with
a chain lightning punch that
comes out like a snakes tongue

is plenty clever and unless he gets
in the way of a wild one, he ought
to come through.

By LEO II. PETERSEN United Press Stan Correspondent

New York. July 22.-UP)--Yot can't keep n good man down!
 Take Frank O'Doul--Lefty tt you--for example. He was hitting something like .250 for the frs three weeks of the season and there were those who said that O'Douli reign as one of the leading hitteri i in the National league was to bt curtailed by the new ball. | And until three weeks ago 1t D. Deared as if the prophets of tho grandstand were correct. But since that time O'DOul has demonstrated that he still is in the running for the 1881 Iationaf league batting | hOnOrs.
 Hitting That Apple
 In his last eight games, the | former Philadelphia star who came 10 Brooklyn last winter, has rap ped out 23 hits in J3 times at bat 10 move among the leading hit ters in his circuit. What is more impressive, he made all of the hits against St Louis and Chicago, and 1t was his work that enabled the Brooklyn Robins to win five of the eight games against the teams con- sidcred as their most formida bIe rivals for National league pen- nant.
 O'Doul's recent spurt has en- abled him to boast his batting average to more than the .33o mark. If he can continue his spurt for two or thre more days he will gain u position among the five leading hitters in the league.
 n'tlntI1, I,a Brooklyn Il 1 to 3 victory over Chi. cago yesterday. The fleet outfelder trapped out three hits in four tim es Robin tallies. It marked Brook lyn's third victory in it's four game series against the Cubs.

If both Sharkey and Walker live up to their prebattle promises, the bout is likely to prove the most every-man- for himself sort of thing since Firpo and Dempsey exchang- ed pleasantries in Yankee Stadium quite a few years ago.
 Tough Talk.
 Sharkey, modest 10 a fault, says he expects to do nothing more harmful to Mickey than knock hts head off. Mickey. equally modest, says he will be satisfied if he knocks the one time sailor bow legged.
 If the boys do go out there with no other purpose than to win by knockout the light is certain to be worth anybodys money. But if Sharkey, with his superior weight, reach and height, elects to be cau- tious and is satisfied merely 10 peck out decision then the bout will depend upon Walkers attempts 70 break through Sharkey's guard for it's interest. of course, many of
  will be satisfied merely with the sight of a little man mixing it up with a bigger one no matter what happens. The majority of the fans. however, will be looking for action and will not be interested in the freakish aspects of the match.
 Fans Are Funny.
 Sharkey to-day was Il 2k to favorite. The low odds are posi- tive prof that those who wager on fights rely mainly on Lunches" and pay little attention 10 form.
