5W It Is believed that Eddie Mahan, the famous Harvard athlete, wilt

Caldwell Has Great Task to "Win 30 Games

Philadelphia is shortly going to have n
glimpse of two of Now York's best tennis
players. Some time during tho first week
of May, G. Cnrlton Shafer, tho New York
crack who held the national Indoor cham
pionship in doubles for several years, and
G. Jr. Church, holder of more titles than
this column will contain, are going to
play an exhibition match at Germantown
Cricket Club. Their opponents will be
Willis 13. Davis, tho Callfornlan. who Is
nt tho University of Pennsylvania, and
William T. Tlldcn, 2d, of tho homo club.
Davis will meet Georgo Church In singles,
while Shafer will play Tilden. Following
tho singles. New York will meet Philadel
phia In a doubles match, which should
produce tennis of an Interesting calibre.
G. Carlton Shafer Is ono of the finest
players among New York's first-string
men. Ho has In recent years defeated
such men as Touchnrd. Behr, Alexander,
etc. Mr. Shafer during the last few
seasons has played little, owing to an
Injury to his leg. but this season he played
lj several tournaments In the South and
l'i In excellent condition.
George M. Church, among America's
first 10 players, is well known around
Philadelphia. Two years ago ho defeated
Itlchard Norrls Williams, 2d, for the In
tercollegiate title. At that tlmo Williams
was national champion. Since then Church
has had one continuous string of victories,
winning title after title. Ills gamo Is
marked by one of tho most wonderful net
attacks in American tennis. Ho Is a
most remarkable doubles player. The de
cisive manner in which Church easily de
feated Joseph J. Armstrong, our Pennsyl
vania State champion, in the challengo
round at Wilmington last year showed
what a wonderful player tho Princeton
star Is
This exhibition match is but a step
toward the formation of Intercity exhibi
tion matches with New York. It Is hoped
now to arrange a four-man team match
for tho end of Hay at Cynwyd Club.
The New York team would Include Church,
Shafer and tho other two would be picked
trim Alexander, Murray, Behr, Pell or
Little.
The exact date of the Church-Shafer
Davis-Tllden match will be announced
shortly.
While Harvard was administering the
rather decided drubbing to Philadelphia
Cricket Club tennis team, at St. Martln'3,
yesterday afternoon, amid fair tennis
fans and thunder claps, Itlchard Norrls
Williams, 2d, tho best tennis player in
America today, defeated Willis B. Davis,
our Indoor champion, with surprising ease,
6-3, 6-0.
Be It said for Davis at once (Rat he
was far off form. Never, since Davis has
been playing around Philadelphia, has he
seemed so bad. Ills service lacked punch,
while his ground game and volleying were
''30" below his usual form.
But no matter how well Davis would
have played, Williams would have defeat
ed him yesterday, Williams showed the
same brand of tennis that has mads him

Drops Tuber
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
T1I12 rocky road to Dublin was a high
way of Bunshlno and roses ns com
pared to tho path traveled by Herman
Illnden nt the Olympla A. A. last night,
Herman, who aids, manages and other
wise assists a stahlo
of high-class boxers,
tossed three of hi")
best meal tickets
Into tho ring and two
emerged all punched
full of holes. Not
only that, but Her
man suffered two
knockouts nnd as
similated lots of
gruelling punishment
during tho 18 rounds
his meal tickets per
formed. It was ono of our
fellow-members ot
tho union, whoso
namo Is synonlmous
with that low priced
but exceedingly popular vehicle which
Infests the roads, who noticed It first.
Wc Get the Dope
"Hoy, tako a slant at Herman!" ho
shouted, "He's hanging on tho ropes nnd
you can count a hundred over him. Look
at his face! It's so white that you can't
distinguish It from his shirt. He'll NEVDIl
recover !"
The man was right. Mr. Illnden was
suffering intense pain, his features were
distorted mid he looked liko a volunteer
nt a painless dentist's reception. All ho
did was to stand in the corner and suffer.
Herman put on tho first part of his net
in tho third bout, scheduled to start' at
9:30 p. 111., every man his own referee.
The Illnden entry, Joe Tuber, by name,
carrying 109 pounds, appeared to do bat
tle with a giant from Kensington labeled
Young McGovern, 113 pounds strong. It
was billed as a swell bout, and the ad
vance dopo was correct.
Battle of Giants
Tuber, "who rocked Leo Flynn to sleep
at the same club two weeks ago, was out
to repeat. McGovern, who gavo Johnny
Ertle the toughest battle he has had In
our village, took a violent stand against
repeaters and proceeded to give his rea
sons. It took some time to put over tho
convincing argument; but when he did,
little room was left for doubt.
The first two rounds were lovely, from
Herman's viewpoint, but not so nice for
the cash customers. The battlers stood
several feet apart and glared at each
other. Then they would shift their posi
tions and glare some more. During the
first brace of stanzas they gavo a perfect
Impersonation ot a couple of good waiters
and qualified to Join the union, local No.
29.
But In the third round it was different,
and then Mr. Illnden began to suffer.
The boys had thrown caution to the
winds, were mixing It up like regular
boxers when, suddenly, like a bolt from
a clear sky (copyright applied for), Mc
Govern's right mauler shot out and Tuber
blocked It cleverly with his Jaw, The
blow put Tuber on his back and knocked
Herman into the water bucket. Joe was
saved by the bell, and Mr. Hlnden was
rescued by the lifeguards, led by Iteddy
Wlgmore.
Herman Takes Punishment
Whilo Herman was recovering, Joe
appeared In three more rounds and re
fused to be knocked out. Herman was too
weak to all Into the bucket again, so
there were no further casualties.

of Johnny Burns and Kensington.

yes, really MNJOVINQ tho first scene,
when BUddcnly like another bolt from an
other clear sky, another mauler shot out
and nuother blow was cloverly blocked by
another Jaw. Another meal ticket flopped
on his back, and for tho second time Her
man took a psychological wallop on the
chin.
This tlmo the water bucket wns removed
nnd Iteddy Wlgmoro and his lifeguards
were foiled. Thoy gave Herman a long
count, however, nnd ho recovered suffi
ciently to sympathize with Eddie when he
staggered to I1I3 corner.
Color Vies With Shirt
It was then that Herman's chameleon
IIKo face assumed the color of his per
fectly white shirt, and neither the shirt
nor face changed in nppearance until the
battle was over. Borrell had been declared
the victor and Mr. Hlnden spent a few
Joyous moments with tho treasurer of tho
club. Then all was forgotten, nnd Herman
$nld that a pleasant time wa$ had.
Buck Blemlng won from Tommy
O'Keefo In the second frame, which was
the feature ot the evening, and made more
of a hit than tho final. In tho curtain
inlscr Kid Texas won from Andy Burns.
Just a Minute
According to n story published in a
Minneapolis paper, Kid Williams and
Johnny Ertle are to mingle at tho Olympla
some time next month. According to
the, article, the bantams are ready to set
tle their long-standing argument, and all
the preliminary work has been done by
Harry Edwards, who now Is sojourning nt
Hot Springs. But this Is only a news?
pnpor account. Jack Hanlon has some
thing else to say about It.
"Nothing to It," he said. "I admit that
I have been after tho match for months,
and when I learned that Ertle and his
manager were at Hot Springs I wrote, to
Mr. Edwards and asked him .10 Beo what
he could do. I understand Williams wants
to weigh in at 118 pounds, while Ertle Is
holding out for 116. Until that question is
settled, nothing will be done. I would like
to stage the match, for It would be a
feature event, and I like .to put on shows
that please the patrons ot this club."
All of which goes to show that the
challenger now is the Important guy In
championship matches, Chaney is dictat
ing to Kllbane, and Ertle Is putting the
same stuff over on Williams.

Uy TED MEREDITH
Captain of Tcnn Track Team.
With the drawing of positions from the
polo for tho relay races comes our first
blow of tho season. Pennsylvania seems
to havo been almost the last to come out
In nearly every event, but those wild know
how theso races scatter after the first
man has run his raeo wll not allow these
drawings to forry them very much. The
only one which will really do us nny
great or mcasurnblo damage Is our lltli
place In tho ono-mllo race. But oven this
looks worso than It Is, for while we are
11th, It Is hardly likely that more than
flvo or six teams will enter this event.
I don't bcllovo nny team which has not
shown close to a 3:20 mllo would have
any chanco In this racoj they wilt havo to
do 3:20 to get third place.
In tho two nnd four mllo events our
chances aro not made a bit harder by, an
outside position than If wo had tho pole.
In fact, I am glad we nre where wo are
In those races. Our men on those teams
are green and will havo somo ono out In
front nt the start who will set the pace,
while If they were on tho polo they lcther
havo to set It themselves or get boxd
wlm tho outsiders rush In for tho nolo.
This happened to mo once. In 1D14. at
Cambridge, In the Intercollegiate half. I
didn't want tho pole, so didn't go out nfter
tho pole, tho result being I wns tho Inst
man around tho first turn. The polo Is
nil right If you want to set tho pace, but
If not I ruber havo nn ousldo position.
Harvard Is virtually tho polo team,
for Kansas City will probably not be on
for this race. This gives Harvard a shade
over us at tho Btart, but I hardly think
It will bo enough to win for them. Our "
runners aro a good bunch In gcting away
well, so thloMmd position will bo bettered
soon after the race Is under way.
Our men aro going In great shape now.
Yesterday they nil turned out. nfter their
work In the preliminary meet of Saturday
