Former Davis Cup Player, Feature. Sioux City. Ta., July 30. — Tlie vic tory of Harris Coggeshall, a Des Moines high school boy, over Paul Bennett, a former member of the Panadtan Davis cup team, was the tnogt colorful event of the fourth day of the Missouri Valley and Interstate ITennls tourney* at the Shore Acre Boat club course today. After taking the first set, 6-3, the youth faltered and dropped the second, 61, but Came back strong in the final and pulled the match out of the fire by a S-3 count. The field was narrowed down to eight eonipetitors in the singles divi sion with tlie stars advancing with out much difficulty to the fifth round. Wray Brow n of St. Louis, tlie de fending rluinipion, probably got through witli the least trouble, de feating Wullaee Swank of St. .Joseph, 6-1; 6-1. Brown’s powerful game was too mueh for the youngster and al most nil the games went fo the St. Louts are by a wide margin. ■ Ralph Rowell, the Omaha player, overcame a big lead which Phil Brain Of Minneapolis had at the end of the first set of their match and finally emerged winner by a 2-6; 6-4; 6 1. Carl Meyer, Kansas City, advanced" to the fifth round by beating Wilbur Fullaway, Sioux City, in straight sets. 6-4: 6-2.

Fullaway furnished little oppo sition in the second set. 1 livid Davis, another Onialian, went Into the fiftli round by beating Charles “Chuck” Bauer, Mitchell, S. D.. junior, 4-6. 0-3; 6-0. Davis was eff to a late start hut grew better 0<i file match progressed and took the la«t set by a wide margin. •John Barton, Sioux Falls, defeated Art Scribner, Omnlm, 6-3; 6-2 in the gffermion play. The placements and general consistent play of the Sioux T'alls man was too much for the Ne braskan and even though he drove wdtfi. savageness Barton was always irady to accept the ball. Walter Uewell, Kansas City, defeat ed «J. Elwell, Detroit, In the 4th round by a score of 6-3; 6 3. The icore is a good example of Newell’s consistent . play. He excelled both at the net and on the base line and never seemed to exert himself. “Bill" White, Sioux City, fen befor the terriffle game of Myron Hutchin son, St. Paul, In straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. “Hutch" was in rare form and slashed the ball t all corners of the '«fourt for superb placements. Al though White put up a game tight he xvas unable to cope with the su perior driving power of Hutchinson. ' Ptaf in the men’s doubles reached the 4th round today and practically JklL the teams came through as expeot «sti.

LINCOLN. Neb., July 30.—With contest ants coming here from the Missouri Valley tournament at Sioux City, of ficials of the Ne braska state tennis tournament, which opens here AugUBt 4, have every rea son to believe that the 1924 meet will be one of the fast est on record. There has been unprecedented interest In city and district tournaments already run off in the state. Omaha's net realm was given something new to look at when Ralph Powell fell before David Davis in the finals of the city tournament. Powell had been supreme in Omaha just as he has been in all the state tournaments in which he has com yeted. Powell announced last winter, after his year lay-off, that he would be bark this summer to play for the title, which has adorned his brow so many times. Almost simultaneous with Powell's defeat in Omaha, Lincoln crowned a new city champion in Paul Mahood, youthful University Place player, who has been showing promise for the past two weeks. In a team match at Des Moines this season Mahood show ed unusual power and in the city tournament he won from Fred Arch ard, city singles champion in 1923. Both Arehard and Mahood will com pete in the state tournament. Omaha will undoubtedly profit by its failure to have a representative group competing under the Gat# City colors last season, when the only titles obtained were in the junior di vision. Al Finkel won the singles title and teamed with Gordon Diesing, Won the doubles event. At tlie present time both singles and doubles title are held by IJnenln players. Don Rlliott defeated Charlie Matliieson, Walthill. for the singles title. Rlliott and Boh Russel won the doubles title. They will be on hand to defend their titles. A feature of the tournament will he the finals ateh of the interseholas tic championships, preliminary matches of which were played this spring. Gordon Diesing, Omaha, and Alfred Calvert, York, went to the finals, hut on account of had weather were unable to ph»y in the finals. A junior tournament will be played in conjunction with the senior tourna ment this season. The Juniors were given their first opportunity last sea son of playing through with the seniors. The tournament will be closed, only residents of Nebraska being eligible to compete. Entry fees will he 12 for senior singles snd $3 for senior doubles; It each for Junior singles and doubles. Any Junior, who cares to compete In both divisions may do so All youths who were not 18 January 1, 1924, are eligible for the Junior competition. ‘HANK’ BASSETT TO BE ‘PRO’ GRIDMAN Fall* City, Neb., July HO.— lenry (Hank) Bassett, star tackle of last year Cornhusker football team and picked hy Walter Cantp for his third All-American team, will play pro fessional football in Kansas City this fall, he ha* confided to friend*.

It was learned today. The Polit ies will protect Rickard against loss In ease the bout scheduled (or September 11 falls to eome off - - J Johnny Wilson Dishes Out Setback to Mister Malone. JOCK MALONE, St. Pout middle weight fighter who put up a poor exhibition of fistcuffa at the Auditorium last winter against one Georgie West of England, received the worst setback of his pugilistic career in Boston last night when Johnny Wilson, former middleweight champion, knocked him out 1n the sixth round of a scheduled 10 round bout. Malone Isn’t a fighter and never will he, In our opinion. He is a mighty clever hover, but when It comes to slugging; give and take fighting, Jock is n minus quanity. Wilson wss never rated very high, even when he held the title, however, the former champ can take ’em and handed 'em out better than a lot of the so called middiewelghts of the day. - Black Gold May Campaign at Tiajuarm This Winter. WORD comes from George Schill ing, race horse expert at Tta Juana, that there ia a mighty good chance of Black Gold, quad ruple Derby winner, campaigning at the Tiajuana race track this coming season. George writes that the handsome purses hung up on the line by Presi dent James ( off rot h of the Mexican oval have attracted the eye of Mrs. Hoots, owner of Black Gold, and Trainer Webb. The owner and trainer of the Ken tucky Derby winner have their eyee peeled on the rich CofTroth handicap and the several other rich Tiajuana races. According to Schilling. Black Gold will be shipped to California after the special race at I.atonla with Epinard. Hard Matter for l^onard to Make Lightweight IJintt. BILLY GIBSON, manacer of Ben nv Leonard, lightweight cham pion, la author of the statement that hia charge will not fight any one In defense of his lightweight title until he has had a crack at Mickey Walker, king of the welters. leonard, let It he known. Is playing a mighty shrewd game with the aid of hia wise manager. They want Walker first and there’s a reason just like there’s a reason In graprnuts. If lamnard defeats Walker, Benny ran desert the lightweight game and bat tle the welters. If he falls to heat Mickey, then Icouard will play around with the lightweight* at ratch weights in no derision bouts until he Inis grown so bulky that Jack Demp sey will he Ills only meaty rival. Leonard la said to tote around some thing like 145 pounds thla very day. When tier mart* hla appearance on the Orpheum stage in Omaha last winter he looked like a young middleweight. Benjamin would probably have to saw off a couple legs to make the required lightweight limit of 135 pounds today. Teeek Writes That Steelier Has No Bight to Challenge. WHILE It la a little out of the eeaann for wrestling, John Pesek, the Jtevenna (Neh) heavyweight "hone crusher” takes this advantage of writing your hum hie servant about Joe Steelier and the latter's right to challenge Chant plnn Ed Lewis for a title match. IVsek's letter In part follows: "The challenge of Joe Meriter, of fering ( liampion Ed lewis a special $15,000 bonus to sign for a title bout. Is amusing to say the least. What rl.ilm has Joe to a championship match? Ills record for the |ut*t three years certainly does not warrant that he la entitled to a match for the title. "As to Ntecher'a otter to give a ape Hal hnnua for a match with l-ewls, I will give Joe Steelier $1,000 the min ute he steps into the ring with me for a finish mati li " Now thsl that Is out of Pesek’s head, we would like to know what he wants to talk about wrestling for when the thermometer le httiln' around 99 in the shade.
