In Cincinnati mam of the athletes who woiked during

theie in Dempsey. If he is
meet the lcndlm- cnndlilntrs for
ins Jon nu.s j ear he xvill hnve to elim
inate Carpentier. Willnrd and Wills.
This xvill be n good season's work. Stop
ping three contenders of Ibis caliber will
come close to Inking nil bo litis. It
ivill be more tlinn any other heavy
weight has tried in over twenty years.
He may Hnd one, or even txx-o, of them
fairly soft. Hut one of Ihe three, if not
two of the three, has the possibilities
ot setious trouble. He xvill find here
thrco widely differing types a fast,
hard hitter in Carpentier, xvbo, pct
haps, is none too rugged : a slow, hard
hitter in Willnrd. xvbo can do a lot
belter limn ho did: a good defensive
man in Wills, who can nlso punish.
I here nro no set-ups here, nt least. Not
precisely.
rTUinX theie is Hill Tildcn. Outside
of Hill Johnston he noxv poems to
have the Held slopped. These two
stand opart with no one else fairlv
close. It is itlmost a toss-up as to J
which will win xvlien they meet. Tilden i
mis tne gieuier variety ot strokes, n
belter change of pace nnd u big advan
tage in his terrific service. Hut John
ston hns the cool steadiness nnd tbe
grim fighting ipiulities thnt make, a
champion, plus u wonderful control of
certain essential strokes, including a
w iiiinng torchsiml drive. When they
get together it is merely a matter of
which one happen-! to be on top of his
game. Tilden, having broken through,
n.ay now be harder to beat than ever
before. His victory last year mny have
given him the necessary contideuce.
Foil no man accepts ietory over John
ston ns u sure thing. Outside of these
two it is hard to Hcure nnv one noxv
with n chance to rcnHi the main tennis H
heights. An upset may bubble up, I H
but it will be considerable upset, I
ttpUU'K" F.VANS, the
V-' golf champion, xxou't get
chance to defend the main summit
until early September. He will have
far more competition than Tilden fates.

TIIKX theie is Cleveland, on top In
baseball. Speaker hns seven clubs
in his league to beat, plus the Xntionnl
League winners. The American League
nrgument noxv looks to be n henled de
bate hetxveen Cleveland and New York.
No other club should outlinlsb either of
these contenders. If Speaker can finish
nhend of Hiiggiiis, force ot habit may
lift him over the world's scries hurdle,
ns the Nntlonnl League entry has been
xvinning something like cverv fifth yenr
