It is to he her second “comeback” effort in three years and she Is in hopes it will be more successful than the firut, which just missed regaining the title for her. It was In 1921. after an absence of eight years from national title com petition. that Miss Brown Invaded the courts of the east In a champion ship effort. It whs the same year that Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, another California and another former cham pion. came east for the same pur pose. Both did very well indeed, every thing considered. Mrs. Bundy made h valiant fight in the semi final against Mrs. Mallory, blit found the latter too strong for her physically. Miss Brown reached the title round, threatened seriously for a* set and a half, flashing all her former sen Rational volleying and playing with consumrate skill, but like Mrs. Bundy Miss Prow n eventually was forced to bow to greater stamina and her title bid just failed.

Pancho Villa to Defend Title Against Woods World’s Champion Will Meet Champion of Scotland in 12-Round Fight on July 8tli. WCJJO VILLA, the little bronze. skinned ring war rior from Uncle Sam's Islands In the far Pacific, finds himself in about the same position in the fly weight division of pugilism that Ben ny Leonard has occupied for some lime In the light weight rank s— without a foe who appears able to lift the world’s < hampionshlp from his brow. still there are several good mites of the padded mittens who are dogging the frail of the Filipino and one of them gets his chance this week in Boston when Wee Willie Woods, champion of Scotland, and w-ilhout question the best little boxer to invade this coun try since the days of Jimmy Wilde's conquests in American rings, will meet Villa for 12 rounds. This la the feature bout of a very short but splendid program for the week fid lowing Independence day. whioh a! wavs is a quiet one in the squared circle. So much Is known of Villa since he left the Philippines to try to an nex the world's title, which was held hy Wilde, that it may he best to give followers of boxing some idea of the ability of the invader from Glasgow. W oods was horn in the ship building eity of Scotland May 19. 1903. Me was a rivet boy in the shipyards, where he learned to defend himself with his fists, and been me so adept at the art that he started as a boxer when he was lfl years of age. The rise of the Scotch youth has been rapid. The first 11 contests he hnj] were in the amateur ranks and l"‘ won each hy a knockout. This at trarted attention of professional pro moters and he wan given a chance in the professional ranks, with the result that he knocked out Jackie Wright, his first foe. in seven rounds. In December. 1922, Woods knocked out Jim Klaekley in fly# rounds of a hout for the flyweight champion ship of .Scotland. loiter he duplicated tliis feat in three rounds. In Sep timber, 1923, Woods twice defeated Klky Clarlc on points in 15 and Id round engagements. In October of that year he came to the United States. Tw o months after Wnotfcx left Scotland Clark won the flyweight championship of Great llritain. It h likely that Woods would liaxe won it hail lie remained in Unit country. Since coming to fhis country Woods has knocked out Uddle Polo snd Kid Henry. He has fought no decision fights xvith Johnny Buff, Spark Plug Russell, Willie Burns and Vincent Salvador# and lost a decision to Tom my Milton. R aecm* unlikely that a fighter who would lie outpointed py Milton could hope to heat Villa, although Milton is a rising young tmxer of New York who is thought mighty well of by the expcris who have seen him In action. \\ oods Is said to lie very rugged and tough, with s knockout punch, inn not as much skiii or experience ss the Filipino mite. 'ilia Is without question the great est boxer of Ids weight and inches in Hie world. Ilis most worthy riyal is Frankie Genarn, who holds a pair °l decisions over the Panrhn gained before the champion won the title. Since then there lutve heen many ef fort* to gel these boy* into a ring again, hut \illa has managed to dodge the Issue. The time Is eom ing soon, however when he will have »o light Genarn, unless the Italian gains so much weight that he will no longer be able to make Ihe flyweight lindt. Ii I* argued, however, that Oenaro Is the only man who really has a chance to defeat Villa. Thu* the pros pects Of Woods faking the tide back to Great Britain again stern rather remote, although stranger things have happened in boxing. Sid Barbarian, whose success In the l.ghl weight division of late has caused promoters to talk of match Ir.g him xvith Leonard, will have a chance to prove Ids worth Tuesday night When he meets Pal Moran in a scheduled 2-round bout In Brook Ivn. Moran la ihe fighter looked upon for a time as the most worthy foe for Leonard, hut s pair of setbacks at (he hand* of good second rater* put him out of ihe running How ever, he Is a lough trial hors* and rnv lightweight who can defeat him will he given consideration when de mandlng a bout with the king pin of the lightweight brigade. ‘With f*t>' KNIGHTS? of the GLOVES t’hoenla, Arii —Ullli Alger, Miami.

Strlbling will cele brate his 20th birthday on Decern tier 2t>. He Is too young to go after the big title at this time. He is not fully developed in point of physique and needs a world of grilling experience in the ring. Yet, In spite of his extreme youth, Strlbling is the best prospect In the heavyweight division that has been unp.irthed in this country since Jim Corbett startled the sporting world hv stopping .John b. Sullivan. Strlbling is a porket edition of Cor bett, hut Corbett was 26 when he won the heavyweight championship and had been fighting ns a professional for several years. lb- was in his 2Id year when he met Joe Choyn«ki three times and scored two decisive victo ries, and was 25 when he t-oxed a 60-round draw with pete,- j,, 4 son. Inks Corbett, Ht.ibllng is a fast, scientific boxer. He is built on Cor Ix'tt's lines and is gifted with similar Intelligence. Rut th» youthful Geor gian is a much harder hitter today than Corbett was the night he Jabbed Sullivan into a state of collapse. Cor bett lacked Stribling fighting instlnrt and couldn't withstand severe punish ment like the promising southerner, v.ho seems to be fighting his way to the top. /T))acjd - JXesujlk 1.\T0\1 V K r«i r.v» Sit furlon*.

Battle for Flag Joe Bush Says Cobb Has Hustling Bunch of Players —Huggins Crew Lacks Punch. KW YORK. July l —Despite the nu m e r o u s Interna tional counter-at tractions, It is im possible to over shadow the in tense Interest In the baseball races in the major leagues. If the competition was not so keen In the pennant fights and the two New York clubs were having the decided advan tages they have had in other years, the enthusiasm for baseball here abouts might suffer. The season has developed two of the closest struggles that baseball has known for years. Outside of New York there is a firm belief that the long reign of the Yankees and Giants is at an end. The fans in New York do not think so, and they are more than satisfied to have the races Just as close as possible. At the present rate it is going baseball will hold up its interest against all of the many counter attractions and again prove that it has a firmer grip on the enthusiasm of the sporting public than any other pastime. Joe Bush, crack pitcher of the Yankees, has a wholesome respect for Tv Cobb and his battling mates. "If we are to win the American pennant," says Btlsh, "the Tigers will l>e the combination we will have to defeat. Cobb has a hustling group of players who are on their toes every minute. Honestly, It is one of the ■fightlnest' clubs in the league. "The young pitchers Cobb has have been delivering wonderfully and If they keep it up will carry the team on through the thick of the fight. When Dutch Leonard gets back in togs Cobb will have another star fiinger, if the southpaw has not lost any of his old effectiveness." Hush was asked why the Yankees have been going badly for the past few weeks. The team that was ex pected with its corps of five seasoned veteran pitchers and hard-hitting in flelders and outfielders to virtually walk away from the rest of the league is having its own troubles. "We don't seem to be able to get started." said Rush. "The old punch isn’t there when it is needed, and the pitching has not been up to the stand ard of last year. However w* are not to he counted out. When wo s'art hllting and getting the pitch ing during the hot days the team will get out in front and stay there, with plenty to spare. "Detroit will bother us. but outside of the Tigers we haven't much to worry about. The Bed Sox made a gallant start, but have been unable to keep. It up. The rest of the teams shouldn't occasion us a lot of trouble when the race gets real warm.’’ Wills to Fight Firpo in August New York.
