Davis Cup Against Antipodeans
Johnston Is Brilliant in Come
back and ictory Over
Hawkes in Straight
Sets.
Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. 3.—The
Davis cup, historic emblem of inter
national tennis supremacy, is safe in
Uncle Sam's custody for another year.
Putting to rout the opposition that
had proved so startlingly formidatle
in the first two days of play, Ameri
ca swept to victory this afternoon
over the Australians in the final two
singles contests and captured the
series by a margin of four matches
to one.
Displaying a marked reversal of
the form he showed in going dqwn to
defeat before James O. A. Anderson
last Friday, William M. Johnston
clinched the trophy for the United
States when he smothered John H.
Hawkes in the opening match, 6-0,
6-2, 6-1. William T. Tilden made it
a clean sweep for the day when he
conquered Anderson, the Australian
captain, 6-2, 6-3, 1-6, 7-5, in a match
that failed to come up to expectations
held out for this struggle between the
"aces” of the opposing forces.
Crowd of 15,000 in Attendance.
The crushing character of Ameri
ca’s closing victories came ns a dis
tinct anticlimax to the gruelling, spec
tacular days of the challenge round.
The gallery of 13,000 that taxed the
capacity of the hlg West Side club's
stadium, had come expecting a last
desperate stand on the part of the
Australians, who had proved so un
expectedly powerful In dividing the
f'rst two singles encounters and forc
ing the doubles match Saturday to
five terrific, record-breaking sets be
fore bowing in defeat.

Urbana, 111., Sept. 3.—When the

yard run. Dryan Nixon, guard, dis
tinguished himself when he inter

BOZO RUFF WINS
RUFFTOWN MEDAL
Awarded Trophy for Eating W'hlsk
brrxmis Willi Cream.
BOZO RUFF has Just challenged
Dempsey to supper.
He is so sure of knocking Firpo for
a congressional junket that he will
fight Flrp in his own bank.
In the meantime Bozo Is getting
ready for his match with the dis
credited champ of Roughtown, the
miserable gink who is fading like
the sun at twilight. Bozo has a new
punch that he wants to try out on
the canvas.
Ruff got Into Dempsey'* camp
disguised as the paying teller of a
Shelby hank, lie had money in his
hat, shoes and ears. When they
saw Bozo stepping Into ramp, they
immediately wanted f3.000.0Q0 for
feit posted that Bozo would break
his leg on the day of the fight.
Bozo put up the three million In
marks. He has the Berlin government
in back of him. He had the entire
financial bonus of Europe to prove
that he won't tie his shoelaces to the
rlngpost when the gong rings.
Huff lias already knocked out 17
sparring partners and will knock
’em rhllly fast as the Boy Scouts
can supply them.
Gink is training in a Turkish
hath. He has a sponge and a towel,
hut Isn't sure which one will lie
the winning colors.
Dempsey refuses to meet Wills or
Ruff and dodged It the other day
on the Roughtown champ. Just
when B07.0 was winning the battle,
Dempsey hung up the telephone on
him. Itoio had posted a real dime
forfeit in the cash slot and lost it
when the central refused to wigh
in on tlie money jigger.
Bozo will fight Wills for the
championship of anything Wills can
think of. Bozo Is not afraid of any
man alive or exhausted.
Bozo is an okltiiner and fought In
the old days when they thought that
flngerhowds should he flavored with
vanilla.
He knocked Jim Corhett kicking
17 times. Then Jim knock«l Bozo
bouncing 17 limrv. The Hufftown
crowd left then because they want
ed fighting and not boxing.
Bozo stayed all night with John
B. Nulllian. Both Boro nnd John
L, wore one-ounee gloves.
The Rufflown fans left that eon
test because they didn't pay to see
pillow fights.
That's the man who challenges
Dempsey, Klrpo and Wills.
I.et those birds come out from be
hind their mnnngers and look Bozo In
the eye. He knocks them eo hard and
high that they use a steeple for a
crutch.
If any of those three get Into the
ring with Bozo, they will find that
they have picked out a fine porcupine
to kies

.Joe McCann, another punch catcher,
utters an expressive Gaelic when
Firpo hits him hard.
And tlieif there is Albertino, the

no farther than Spanish and a
smattering of English, he ran sing.

Former Western Leaguer Has
Hard Time in First Inning
but Recovers in Time
to Save the Game.
By RALPH WAGNER.
Ol' Otto Merz, veteran of many a
pitcher*' battle, yesterday, before a
crowd estimated ut 4.500 at the Coun
cil Bluffs ball park, hurled Corning
to its third straight Southwestern
olwa baseball cvhampionshlp, defea-.
Ing Dunlap In the finals by the scora
of 9 to 5.
Merz just toyed with the Dunlap,
pers. The former Western hurler,
who is as cool as the proverbial cu
cumber when It comes to pitching
the horsehldc, got In one tight place.
That was in the first Inning, when
Dunlap scored two runs. From th«
first until the game ended, Ol' O'to
sailed along like a brand new six
cylinder car running along on r.ew
pavement. He allowed Dunlap 11
hits, one of them going for ex’ra
bases. There were times during th«
game when Otto sort of took pity
on the Harrison county ball players
and whenever he acted that way Dun
lap got hits.
Jones Hums for Loser*.
A pitcher by the name of Jones
huried for the Dunlappers. However,
it jvas common gossip 'round the
Bluffs park that thia Jones person
was none other than Alters of Fair
bury of the Nebraska State league
Dickie Kerr was evpected to hurl fov
the losers, but, according to the dope.
Dunlap couldn't see Kerr and the
amount the former White Sox star
wanted for hurling nine innings ol
outlaw baseball.
Jones was hit mighty hard by ih»*
Corning club. He vV. pounded for
15 hits, among them being somethin!
like eight doubles and one triple. Sev
eral of the doubles might have bees
triples had not the crowd been al
lowed to bank all sides of the field.
Altogether, Coming hit Jones for a
grand total of 25 bases, enough tc
win all the ball games played In the
tournament.
Manush Gets the Razz.
Harry Manush, second basemat
who jumped the Omaha Buffaloes
played second for Coming. He wai
it hat five times, didn't get a hit, but
made one error. Harry got the well
known razzberries from the crowd
sac htlme he was up and every time
he handled the ball.
Coming's victory over Dunlap
marks the third straight time that it
jas won the tournament.

Savs l nited States Not So Far
Ahead of Other Tennis Nations
By \ INC ENT RICH \K1»
National Indoor Tennis Champion.
New York, Sept. 3—Tennis fans
throughout the Cnited States are
welt aware of the fact that Americ a
male stars have had an unbroken
reign of supremacy on the world's
courts for the last three years. The
few court classics that have not fall
en into hands of some American
champion have failed to do so be
cause in those isolated cases no
American player had set out to win
them. This was the condition in
thfs respect last year at Wimbledon,
mecra of all lawn tennis champion
ships. It has been pointed out time
and time again that with Tilden.
Johnston and Williams ready and
anxious to defend the famous Davis
cup It would item that the United
State* had little or no chance of loa
ms' thin previous trophy. Yet seme
10,000 rabid fans Journeyed out to
Forest Hills, L. I., and watched
James O. Anderson, captain of the
Australian Pavis cup team, down
"Little Bill" Johnston, In five furi
ous sets last Friday.
This opening win for the Austral
ians had rather a peculiar effect on
some of the critics who were bally
hooinst before the match that the
entire Pavis cu-p series would be a
walkover for the American team.
This match showed conclusively that
even with such marvelous players s«
“Tilclen and Johnston, the United
States is not so very far ahead of
the other lawn tennis play;n|t nations.
