Williams 2d defeat lirookes in sin-
gles, a feet which tennis experts con-
sider most unlikely. Tile Australa-
sian victory was well earned and
without flaw, the team work of the
that of master
racquet wielders who thoroughly un-
derstood each other's play and tactics
both at not and in deep court. Al-
though the United States champions
carried the challengers into deuce
“sets twice, they never could lift their
game to the plane where Brookes and
‘ Wilding were unable to check their
rallies at crucial moments. The old-
er and more experienced pair always
"had something in reserve and‘their
clook'like team work ’ disconcerted
ot/eu McLaughlin in tlle’closing set.
Recognizing that Bundy was the
weaker player of the American pair
the challengers directed their hardest
volleys at him. Although-he handled
the rain of shots in a manner beyond
the expectations of tennis association
officials, he was unable to hold the vet-
erans across the net sufficiently to
permit McLaughlin to secure a. with

a manner that astonished the specta-

The Americans tried every style ofv
game in their repertoire in an endea-
Vor to stave off defeat but without

the invaders rushed tattle net,_ mid cut
off every return, frequently leaving
their opponents flat- footed in their
porplexity as to where the ball would
be placed. The attempt to dislodge-
. the challenging pair from the net by
lobbing was a distinct failure. Most

To Win
a scenic setting to the play never be
fore equalled ill a Wire cup match,
either in the United States or abroad.
The AIustraiasians after their vic-
tory in the doubles expressed conn-
deuce in their dilility to win at least
one of tomorrow‘s singles matches
and thus clinch possession of the cup.
in the American camp it was conced-
ed that he only hope of a successful
defense of the trophy lay in the possi-
bility of Williams defeating Brakes
by an exhibition of super—tennis in
the opening match set for 2 o'clock
and thus putting the question of re-
taining the championship emblem
directly up to McLoughlln inthe final
contest against Wilding.
The visiting players have made ar-
rangements to leave for Australia as

PUTTIIG BflEMLL
Oil PEACE EWTIIIB
With the Federal League a very sn-
orgetic youngster and planning even
senator doings for next year. specula-
tion is rife as to what Organized. Ball
will do in order to put the game on a
firm basis again. The latest plan' pro-
posed to straighten out the tangle is
"to consolidate the American and Fed-
oral mm and form a twelverclub
organization, - altering the baseball
map right smartly. but still preserving
the Wee of power as of yore.
The idea is to drop Kansas City
St. Louis, Chicago and Buffalo «from
the Federal circuit and add the re'
mainlng clubs to the Atrial-loan Hague.
“The crop of present day pugilists
isn’t as good as that which used to be
harvested back in the old days," re.
marked Frank Erne. once lightweight
champion and regarded by many as
one of the brainlest fighters that ever
donned the mitts
"There are mighty few boxers and
even fewer ring generals than there
used to be ten to twenty years ago.
The reason for that is that many ten
Nround no decision bouts are being
staged in these days. ’l‘en rounds is
no test for a man. it's no hard job
for even a mediocre lighter to last out
ten rounds, but when he has to go the
route for twenty to twenty-five rounds
that's when the pace begins to tell. and
that's where generalship and boxing
ability comes in.
“The majority of preached” fight-
ers are not ring generals Mousse they
”9”!!!” never called upon in a ten
round bout to shop or use generalship,
but in the old days a fighter who
wasn't a ring general never amounted
to much and didn’t last very long.
“Around about the fifteenth and
eighteenth rounds in whenthe pace of
a real light begins to tell on a man.
It is then .he must draw heavily not
only on his waning strength but upon
his brains. It is then that he must be.
gin to show his generalship—to man-
euver not only to keep on his feet and
keep a-golug, but to beat the other
fellow down.
‘lt was the boys with the brains that
cametothe top lathe old days. Brute
strength didn't count much. Kld~Mc-
Coy rose utmost to the top. not because
he was a wonderful lighting machine,
but because he was a great ring gen-
eral. The. same is true of Tommy
.Ryan. Jim Corbett and a bunch of the
other old timers. They were really
brainy fighters—men who didn't de-
pend upon their strength. but upon
their brains and upon the crafty ideas
they figured out while in the ring. It
was a treat to watch the old timers.
They used science. mixed with
strength. whereas in this day science
seems to be something of a lost art.
and lights are only exhibitions of
strength.
“Packey McFarland is the peer of all
boxers in the ring today. He is the
type of tho old time generals. He is as
brainy as any man that ever stepped
within the rover and he uses those
brains every moment of the time.
His brain always is trying Ito figure
out the other fellow's plan. and Packey
usually doesn't have to figure long be-
fore he reaches his answer. And then
it's a walkway for Packey.
“One of the strangest things.inmy
opinion, is the shortage of real lighters
in' the present day There is not a

So much has been written abimt
Coulon as the “little old man of the
ring" that one rather expected him to
limp in on crutches. As a matter of
ln,ct the venerable little boxer carries
his tw-enty -five years very well, and al-
though his head is here on top. abiond
toupee would make him look like a six-
teen-yearold kid. Twenty-five years
old and with a nice bank roll, Johnny
is going to take care of his money and
enjoy himself.
“1 lost the championship because
Williams got me before i could get
started," was Coulon's explanation of
his poor showing when he lost his title
in three rounds several weeks ago. “i
don't want to take a thing away from
Williams, for he is a good boy. but as
i did nothing myself in that bout he
had a snap. l weighed only 110 pounds,
while he made the beam quiver st 116
pounds. lie copped me so early in the
bout that i had no chance to find out.
if 1 am still 'thore' or not. I have an-
nounced my retirement, but if. after a
period of preparation, 1 think 1 can do
a comeback “i may ask for another
chance. I can't tell about that for sure
yet. The only thing i am sore abodt
is that a lot of my friends lost money
on me. I thought i was in good shape

Herman Bronkie, who used to pitch
out at Reidvllie and where he later
graduated to the third sack and de-
veloped as one of the best in the
league, is now on the dizzy corner for
Indianapolis. O'Rourke. the son of
James. the Older. of Bridgeport, is on
third for the St Paul team and try-

garden for Columbus. Earl Gardner,
of Hartford fame, is on second for the
Cleveland team and will be a team—
