Match Player Holds Spotlight in Tennis Play William M. Johnston Consid ered Greatest Match Play er in Country, Says Richards. ny VI NO;N'T RICHARDS, National Tennis Doubles Champion. Cntrermt Service Staff Correspondent. We hear much nowadays about the "money player.” Whether It is in baseball, goir, box ing or tennis, it is tiie money player w ho holds the spotlight. The man who can rise to the occasion when the public demands it. is tiie man who holds tiie soft spot in the hearts of the fans. Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Jack Demp sey, Benny Boon arc!. Bill Tildeu , and “Little Bill” Bill Tildet!. Johnston arc all men who can put over the required punch when it is needed. For that reason, and none other, they are all champions in their re spective branches of sport. In tlie parlance of the tennis game, it is not the “money player,” but rather the match player, who holds the center of the stage. A man may have all the strength, plenty of court generalship and everything else thnt goes to make up a national champion, but If he has not tho requisites of a “match player” he will be lost in the rush to the title. Great Match Flayer? There are thousands of fans throughout the United States who be lieve that William M. Johnston Is the greatest match player in the country. They argue that “Uittle Bill” has been able to pull out of more tight places than any other player In the game today. Far be it from me to take any credit away from the little western wizard. But let us for a moment consider the tight spot that “Big Bill” Tilden was In last fall In the final round of the national cham pionship at Philadelphia. Johnston had a lead of twro sets and three games In the final and decisive set. Almost an unsurmountable lead for any player to overcome. Tilden was the defending title holder, play ing before his own people. Yet Til den won that third set from "Uittle Bill,” the succeeding two, and, inci dentally, the match. Flays to Gallery. This feat, to my way ft thinking, showed “Bill” Tilden is the greatest “match player” in the world today. An accomplishment such as thnt in the final round of a national cham pionship Is without precedent. Tilden has often beep accused of being dramatic on the tennis court. People sav of Tilm that he plays to the gallery all the time he is on the • court. A11 this may he true, never theless. there Is rn denying the fart that he is without a peer in tennis history. , lie can he safely classed In this re spect as Dempsey. Ruth and the rest of the great athletic stars of the present age. Graves Loses to Mores. Kddie Mores. Sioux City welter weight scrapper, won an eight-round i eferee's decision over "Kid” <*ra\'-s ip. the main event of a fight show held last night at Fort Omaha. The bout was a slow affair. Graves used his left throughout the battle, but that’s ail. Mores was the aggres sor and scored many times With a right and left. In the semi-windup. Johnny Upe or Omaha knocked out “Kid” Buecko in the fifth round of a scheduled six round bout. One of the best fights of the eve ning was the first preliminary, a four round affair between “Kid Blanch ard of Fort Crook and Jimmy Newton of Omaha. The Fort Omaha scrapper won the referee's decision. Uouts Deluca won the referee's de clsion over Johnny Kutlar of Fort Omaha In a four-round bout. “Bad News” Murphy of Omaha and “Kid” Berkley of Fort Crook boxed four rounds to a draw, although the | majority of fans seemed to think that | Murphy had a allude the best of his opponent. “Young” Mickey of Omaha lost a four-round referee's decision to Ser geant Leidy of Fort Omaha. Paul Ueidy of Omaha refereed all the bout. A large crowd witnessed the fights. Joe Herrick, Omaha tighter, was Introduced from the ring as the op ponent for Johnny Wilson, middle weight champ, who will appear In a bout In Council Bluffs July 4. BIO FOB HAWAIIAN PITCHER By Internsllonsl »« • Sen Ire. Honolulu, April 3.—Jimmy Dmlial j sky, hardest hitting pitcher In Ha waiian baseball circles, Is headed for i ha Coast league. Duchnlsky recently received an offer ft tun the Salt Lake City club of $250 a month and trans portation both ways for a tryout and immediately accepted, Ills chance came as a result of the visit of the All-American major leaguers who toured the Orient this winter. “Bul let Joe” Bush, of the New York Yan kees, was so Impressed with the youngster’s work In a game In which he pitched against tho big leaguers that he recommended him highly to Duffy Lewis, manager of the Mor nions. “All that Duchalaky needs. said Bush, “is a chnnge of pace and that can be developed under the Instruc tion of a good coach and manager.’’ Duchalaky has been pitching here for the last two or three years.

Soccer Team Forfeits Claim to National Title When Players Leave to Join Baseball Clubs >.>w York, April 3.—Unable to put forward a capable team for a play off game next Sunday with the Patcraon (N. J.) football club, the Scullinsteei footl»all club of St. Louis today for feited its claim to the national soccer championship and gave up the trophy that had been In its possesion for a >ear. 'lire two teams playsd to a draw at Harrison, N. J., last Sunday. Four of the Scuilin team are base bal players and have left to join clubs with whom they were under contract, It W'aa explained.

Southwestern league club; Inside Right Rooney in with St. Paul In the American association and Inside Left Prannlg Is with Terre Ilaute l.i the Thr»« i league. Outside Left Mulvey ia with the Mobile club In the South ern association. It wna pointed out that some of the baseball playing members might have been able to go to St. Louts to settle the tie. but the national cup rmer- 1 gency committee decided tha play oil would have to he In the east and Man ager Tate Brady of Scullns forfeited rather than attempt It with a crip pled team.

Oth ers in golf are Jess Sweetser,' GlennR Collett and Joyce Wethered, all most important figures In the schedule ahead. And there is Ty Cobb, winning manager and a .400 hitter in his 18th year. A YEAR FORM NOW. How many of these will still be leading figures a year from now as another pink and blue spring drifts gently In along the wai.e of another winter’s snows? George Owen departs in June, so there will be a gap In the college ranks that some ons else must fill. Hempsey, at 28, and Lenglen, at 23, are reasonably safe. Tllden’s grip on the scepter is still strong. The odds are against both Hagen and Sarazcn. Hoover and Hoppe ate favored to stick, and so is Hornsby, hut Sisler's injury may drive him back. ‘‘Can you tell me,” writes L. P. H., "whether the rest of the universe, outside of New York, has paid any j attention to the champions made and unmade by Chairman Muldoon—such ; as Kilbane. Wilson, etc.? Not the I slightest. Kilbane is still the feather j weight cliatnplon of the world, and Wilson Is the middleweight champion. And they will be champions until some challenger hits one of them un der the ear. When champions begin to be made ;and unmade by the merry little wheel of boxing politics the old crown will1 i lie worth about 17 cents, retail. If - there were a national or international ! tioxing union, acting with authority, such typea as Kilbane and Wilsoo could be handled In the right way. •'What's the Idea In sending over a golf team to England,” Inquires s reader, “when Eweetaer, Jones and Guilford, three of the four best golf ers we have can't make the trip?”' Great Britain sent over a team last summer when Hoiderness, the cham pion, and Hunter and Carter, two leading stars, were not In the line up. If each country waited until on ly the best men were available and in form there would be no interna tional sport. And as victory would then be the entire object the enter prise wouldn't be worth while. Vic tory is an important Item. But It is far from being the sole item In in ternational amatuer sport or in any other type of sport worth cultivating. For that matter, who can tell about the strength of a team? In 1921 Fred Wright was rated No. 8. the last member of the force. Yet j It was Wright who made easily the best American showing, still hold ing on after Ouimet and Jones bad passed from view. Yankees and Browns Have Weak Infields By DAVIS <J. WALSH. Inf final iomil Nfun Nrrvice Muff Corre •opmlcnt. New York, April 3.—With the American league inaugural two weeks in the offing, tiie Yankees and the Browns, the "one-two” clubs of 1922, are making fevered attempts to swing deals that will strengthen their re spective infields, now just a bit baggy at the knees. The Yankeis are weak in secondary infield de fense, and with Everett Scott giving evidence of having turned slightly sour at shortstop, it is said that Elmer Smith, extra outfielder, is go ing on a long Journey in payment for the man the Yanks are seeking. Sisler III. Tiie Browns must have a first base man to fill in until Sisler recovers j his health, which may lie next mouth j or next year. They have made un-i productive efforts to lure George Burns away from the Red Sox, but ! apparently are not willing to pay the price. At that. Kohl would not be j justified in weakening oilier positions Just for a few months of Burns’ so ciety. He cannot hope to take Sig ler's place, anyhow. No one can. Is Brewing Deal. The first blush, tiie plight of the Yankees is not so desperate, yet Hug gins realises that if Scott fails to come around or if one of his lnfield erc pulls up lame, dangerous compli cations will set in. He did not de velop a single prospect among his re cruits at New Orleans, and Mike Mc Nally, who is just a good minor leaguer, is the only extra infielder who can appear in an American league box score without unseemly consequences. Huggins, however, lays claim to j seven outfielders arid plans to use j at least two of them in the trade he : is said to have in mind.

Kill Bill Legalizing Boxing in Colorado Denver, Colo., April 3.—The Colo rado ornate yesterday killed, by a ; vote of 17 to 13, a bill proposing to i legalize boxing in the state. The Dill had passed the house and was on third reading in the upper body. The 1 state oupreme court several months ago ruled that boxing, for which an admission was charged, is illegal. Up to the time of the court’s ruling, bouts | were permitted here under an old boxing law. Hollocher Out of Lineup. St. Louis.

Another Pin Record Goes atA.Ji. Meet Philadelphia Bowler Chalks Up Grand Total of 2,019 for N ew Mark in All-Events. Milwaukee, 'Win., April 3.—Another world s record was established today in the American Bowling congress tournament when V. Knox of Phila delphia took the lead In the all events with a grand total of 2,019, topping the former mark held by C. Itaw of Milwaukee by five pins. Shooting with the Quakers’ team of Philadelphia last night, Knox scored 618 pins; in the doubles today, paired with C. Trucks, he rolled 686. which, coupled with his partner’s total of 616, punt them In fourth place in that event.
