Tommy JFalsh Accepts Defeat Gracefully
TT IS refreshing to meet u boxing manager who can accept a defeat gracc
fully. Onlj once in n gieat while do we run across such a person, and it
is with pleasure that we introduce Tommy Walsh, of Chicago, ,"0 per cent
monngpc of I'nl Mooie, who was handed a questionable ileal in London the
"other night when he boxed Jimni) Wilde
"Perhaps Mr Corn, the refeiee. made a mistake according to 0111 ideas,"
gays Walsh, "hut according to London rules he prob.iblj is right The referee
Is a high-class man, his honest cannot he questioned and he gae n decision
asjht saw it. We have no alibi to offer l'al Moore might lifne wnlatcd the
rule by hitting with the open glove and should hae tried to moid it. Over
,bere it is the proper thing I'ackey McKarland used to slap his opponents and
.step away and it was considered good form
"But it can't be done in Kngland, and it shows how stru tlj the niles arc
enforced in that country. If there is a code it should be lived up to. In the
United States the rules of boxing arc a joke. Fighters and seconds can get
Jaway with miifder and the referee never will act. You seldom see a clean
'break ; the kidney punch is used time and again and 110 effort hns been made
'to stop the practice.
' "I understand a second reached through the ropes recently when his man
,was down, patted him on the shoulder and shouted in his eai to take the full
icouut. This a a violntio of the rules, but was unnoticed Another time,
'when r. boxer fe) out of the ring, one of his handlers rushed to his side and
""v-tsfs'ei I'fni to his fee'. This, too. was
'Should hav won. In Kngland you couldn't get nwaj with it, but it apparently
'is all 1 Hht here.
"A for the Moore-Wilde match, we must accept the referee's erclict.
All of the protests in the world wfd not change it, and at that Wilde must be
given borne credit. He is thirty 5 ears old and weighs but 10 pounds, and he
certainly put up a good flfht.
"1 have heard from London Nate Lewis sent me a cablegram stating that
loore won sixteen of the twent rounds, but N'ate looked at the light from an
American angle.
tipERIIAPS ifoorc icon, but aieording to the Englis' rttlei he lost.
Pal, however, is more popular than eier before, and take it from
me, re dit not suffer financially. Despite reports of a winner's and
, losers e.o, he received $15,000 as a guarantee. That's pretty good.
But r lcV to see Moore and Wilde fight it out in this country."
Dempsey Had Confidence in That Left
rpOMMY also hud some interesting sidelights to spill on ,Tnek Dempsey when
he was training for the Wlllara disaster. According to Walh. .lack was
aupiemely confident and never doubted for an instant that he would win.
"The ouly thing he was not sure of was the round that Willard would take
the count
'One day after he finished his boxing," orated Walsh. "Dempsey and I
left the Overland Club to walk along the shore of the bay. Kearns was busy
counting tn day's receipts and could not be annoyed.
"We talked things over and 1 told Dempsey thut I had beard that the
betting was ?100 to $1000 that he would not win in the first round. Jack
inllcd and said :
" "loin, take that bet. and I want one-half of it. I don't know whether
I can flatten the big bo in the first, but I'll give 5011 u run for your money.
If I can get nij left hand oier I'll drop Jess for you, and if he Hops he will
"be out.'
itryEMPSDY put Willard on An hack and should hmi icon in the
first round. It was the only bet Jack made, and he told me in
A Chicago last week that he was thinking of it when he had Willard in
a oaa icay. ue uiea nnro 10 icin inai mousand.
The Family First, Always, With Ping
"PINO BODIE always Is good for a story, because the noted Italian fence
" buster keeps in the limelight whether he wants to or not. Charley Itigler,
the National League umpire, spilleci one yesterday and laid the scene in San
.Francisco.
I "I'ing was placing with the Frisco club," aid Charles, "and guarded the
territory in left field. He liked thHt position because he lived in a flat build
ing across the street from the park and could wave at his family on the front
porch any time he cared to, They saw every game and friend wife knew the
'exact time to prepare dinner.
"One day I'ing made a sensational catch. He tore back for a ball hit over
bia head, and as lie leaped to make the cntch he crashed into the wall. He
liuug on to the bail, however, staggered to his feet, walked toward the diamond
and collapsed. It looked as if he was seriously hurt and the players rushed
out to help him. While they were standing around him I'ing opened his eyes.

PLAYED WONDERFUL MATCH
Maurice E. McLoughlin, the "Cali

Brookes, the grent Australian veteran
player, may renew their tennis ac
quaintance next month on the courts nt
Newport, according to nn announcement
made bv the officials of the United
States National Lawn Tennis Associa
tion. It is pointed out by the officials that
this is quite likely because the Aus
tralian players will arrive in this
country around August , nnd thnt
McLoughlin, along with his doubles
pnrtner, Thomas C. liundj, will plant
their baggage somewhere in the East
about the snme time. And ns the New
port tourney doesn't start until Aug
ust 4, and both players will feel the
need of practice to chase the ktnks, they
should enter the Newport event.
Followers of tennis the world over
would weclome the opportutty to wit
ness these two wonderful exponents of
the sport on the court again. It will
be just five years next mouth since they
staged their memorable battle at the
West Side -Tenuis Club. Whenever
brilliant matches ore talked ubout the
McLoughlin - Brookes match always
crops up. It is regarded as the greatest
or tennis matches nnd one of the six
high spots in American sport.
Both "Mac" and Brookes have un
doubtedly seen their greatest iIujh on
the courts. Five long jears have
passed in which the world war claimed
them both, McLoughlin to serve in our
navy, and Brookes with the British
army in Mesopotamia and the Holy
Land.

No. 2 McLoughlin vs. Brookes
TF ANT ONE ever had to rake back through the history of lawn tennis and
-L find the greatest single ever played in a cliamp'ionship match he would un
doubtedly call the job completed when he came to the first set of the match
between Maurice McLoughlin, of America, and Norman Brookes, of Australia,
at Forest Hills, Long Island, in August, 1014. This great mntch had a dra
matic setting in every way. Brookes had beaten McLoughlin twice before in
Davis cup matches through his greater steadiness and keener all-around play.
J VST previous to the McLoughlin-Brookes match, Anthony Wilding
had beaten Norris Williams, which meant that McLoughlin must
beat Brookes for the United States to carry forward any gray ghost
of a chance. , m
August, 1914
THERE was another dramatic tinge to the meeting. August, 1014, meant
something more than n lawn tennis date.
German forces were already driving back French armies and forcing their
way through the slender British lines.
Wilding and Brookes were to leave for active service after the match,
service that cost Wilding his life n short while later on.
IITO ONE dreamed at the time that McLoughlin, Williams and many
" others there would also be in active service before the drama
closed out.
The Big Set
THE first set was the spectacular feature of the last championship held.
McLoughlin was then at the top of his game, with that smashing servic
working with precision and rifle speed.
Brookes, with all the experience of n great veteran, was also at top form.
From the beginning it was a battle of services. Brookes, leading the
service, won tho first game with two sets, an out by McLoughlin and a fine
placement shot.
Then McLoughlin came back with a slashing service that broke through
the great Australian's defense, mainly by sheer power.
Game nfter game the contest ran at even tide. Neither man could get a
jump on the other. Each, serving, was invincible, although more than once
each man came within a point of overthrowing his opponent, n line rally
saving the occasion.
At the end of thirty games they stood just where they began, without any
advantage or any favor.
Neither had been able to break through the other's service. Their play
had been extremely brilliant nil the way, and the wonder was that both stood
up so well in such a nerve-racking test, where any slip might have meant
disaster. ,
McLoughlin had this advantage. He was some ten years younger than
his opponent, nnd ten years begin to mean something after thirty games have
been completed.
And then the end came with a sudden turn. The thirty-first game had
gone to deuce with Brookes serving when McLoughlin finally broke through
his opponent's service and took the next two points.
MoLOUQHLIN then icon his own service with 4 points to S and
Brookes was beaten, 11-15, in a match that no one who nappened
to be there will ever forget.

The teirific velocity of McLoughlin's service in this set nnd the two that
followed has never been equaled. He put everything he had upon the
smashes and his timing all the yvay was a wonderful affair.
AFTER winning the fiist set he had no trouble in beating Brookes,
" 6-8, 6-3. the Australian having worn himself out in that first
spectacular stand.
May Meet Brookes Again
AFTER beating Brookes, McLoughlin came back the next day and overthrew
the equally brilliant AVilding.
There arc any number who believe that the California Comet burnt himself
out in these two matches, as he ha' necr played anything like the same tennis
sfnee, losing Inter to Norris 'Williams in the American championship after
Williams had lost to both Brookes and Wilding.
Norman Brookes is scheduled to enter the next United States champion
ship, and there is n fair chance that he and McLoughlin may meet again.
tiROOKES is well beyond the championship age in lawn tennis, but
J he pioved recently in England that his game is still sound and sure.
